Chapter 805: Tai E

Li Zhouwei woke up from his meditation. The magic power in his body surged like a river, his aura was stable, his cultivation was rounded, and his immortal foundation was bright and clean. 'With the help of 【Bai Du Blood】, this encounter indeed did not suffer too much damage. However, after all, it was a matter of extracting essence blood. Even after taking such a spiritual object, it was only mutual compensation, merely stabilizing my cultivation for me.'

This was also because Dongfang Eastern Heyun's grasp of the weight was just right. Mingyang had the effect of flourishing descendants. Although the Dragon Clan was generous, they valued dragon descendants the most, so they were naturally stingy when it came to Mingyang spiritual objects.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled a breath of white air and opened his eyes. The cloud vapor beside him was still ethereal and rising, as if he were in an infinite sea of clouds. Not a single trace of the crystal palace could be found. The Bei Hai Dragon King had already left, and only the young man in white was still standing quietly beside him.

Not knowing how long he had been cultivating, Dongfang Eastern Heyun's gaze seemed never to have moved from him. As soon as he saw Li Zhouwei, the young man immediately smiled intimately:

"One hundred and twenty-eight days have passed. Following the orthodox calendar of Li Wei, taking the Zi month of the Dou Jian as the beginning, today is the seventh month of flowing fire. If it is the orthodox calendar of Liu Chu, the Yue Kingdom era, it is the 22nd day of the sixth month."

Li Zhouwei knew that the Yue Kingdom followed the orthodox calendar of Liu Chu, which was different from the era-counting method of the Li family's Wei Dynasty. However, Dongfang Eastern Heyun spoke so naturally, as if he had lived in the Wei Kingdom and had to convert the dates often, which was taken for granted. His heart was slightly shaken: 'Just how many years has this person lived! The Lord Lord Beijia Dragon Lord is a Chi descendant. If he was the first breath exhaled by the Lord Lord Beijia Dragon Lord, wouldn't he be almost as long-lived as the Dragon Lord?!'

He sighed in his heart, bowed first, and said:

"Many thanks to the Senior for guarding me. It turns out nearly four months have passed... The Senior is truly knowledgeable, actually knowing even the Wei calendar."

Dongfang Eastern Heyun did not answer his words but invited him to get up. The cloud vapor of the entire palace swayed and gathered toward the soles of the two people's feet. A bit of pitch black emerged, and only then did the young man say:

"It is just a habit. Fellow Daoist, please."

Dongfang Eastern Heyun called everyone Fellow Daoist. He stepped into the Great Void, and Li Zhouwei saw a piece of deep, harmonious water light in the Great Void, which must be the Dragon Clan's great array. Dongfang Eastern Heyun traveled through the Great Void while replying: "The matter of Lie Sea was originally a favor from the Zipei True Person."

"During the North-South struggle of those years, the Anhuai Heaven had to be opened to release those few true Qi natures, which also revealed the state of the true Qi fruit position... The one on the fruit position is probably no longer there. This matter is very beneficial to my Dragon Clan. The Zipei True Person took the opportunity to trade with my Dragon Clan... As for what motive it was out of..."

Dongfang Eastern Heyun shook his head with a smile that was not a smile and replied: "It is still unknown to this day."

Li Zhouwei's heart sank. Although the Li family and Purple Smoke were not without entanglement, they were only casual acquaintances, and he had no friendship with Zipei himself. He thought for a moment and asked:

"Senior, you are sending me to..."

"Ho."

Dongfang Eastern Heyun smiled slightly and replied:

"Since we have just left the cave heaven, of course, we are heading to Bei Hai. If you have a place to stay, I will go along the way and send you there."

"Now there is no need to worry about Senior Chang Xiao. As long as you don't bump into the several overseas outposts of the Senior Chang Xiao Sect, he has no mind to seek trouble for you. As for returning to the interior... it is still slightly unstable."

Li Zhouwei understood his meaning. No matter what, the overseas territory was the Dragon Clan's territory. Any overt or covert arrows would not be aimed at him. Once he reached the interior, the Dragon Clan had no ability to intervene. Although Senior Chang Xiao dared not kill him, this person's fate divine ability was powerful, and it was inevitable that he would have some means.

After Dongfang Eastern Heyun finished speaking, he nodded slightly and replied:

"It is just that the True Person of your family will have to work hard."

Li Zhouwei then replied:

"Since that is the case, I will trouble the Senior to drop me off at a nearby market. I still have magic tools in my hand that need to be handled cleanly, otherwise, it will not be safe to walk on the sea."

Li Zhouwei most wanted to trade with the Dragon Clan. After all, they had top-notch things in their hands, and they were not afraid of holding the Senior Chang Xiao Sect's things. However, there had been no opportunity before, and Dongfang Eastern Heyun probably did not have the authority to make such decisions. He asked on purpose, just wanting to see how he would reply.

"Easy to say!"

Dongfang Eastern Heyun really did not say much. He raised his eyebrows, looked out from the Great Void, and replied:

"There is a Changliu Mountain market in Bei Hai. To the east, there is a place that seems to be called Tai E Island, which is a small island where the Qingchi Sect trades in the He Tian Sea. To the west is Duan Mountain. Although there is a market, it is better not to go. To the south is the Zhu Lu Sea."

Li Zhouwei nodded in understanding, feeling slightly regretful in his heart. He had also wanted to go east to see the Lie Sea at the far east, so he said:

"Then I will trouble the Senior to go to Tai E Island."

"Good... Tai E Island... it is also a newly changed name."

Dongfang Eastern Heyun said it was a newly changed name, and he did not know when this 'new' was. He only saw the young man nod. After traveling through the Great Void for a while, the two broke through the Great Void and returned to the present world. Li Zhouwei felt light under his feet and stepped on the wind to rise. The young man in white beside him had already disappeared, leaving only a beautiful voice:

"After all, it is a place of an Immortal Sect. It is not appropriate for me to get close. This place is only a hundred miles away from Tai E Island. You can fly there yourself."

Li Zhouwei landed while controlling the light and bowed to the sky. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling much more relaxed: 'Finally, I have dealt with it!'

Although the Dragon Clan did not have much malice, there was a peak Zifu here and a Zifu spiritual demon there. Each of them was in a high position and was a Dragon Clan looked up to by the world. It was ultimately uncomfortable to be beside these beasts.

'I also learned about Senior Chang Xiao by the way, so I won't be too fearful of him... Everything is more at ease.'

Although the matter between Luoxia and the Dragon Clan was troublesome, fortunately, it was not something he needed to consider with his Foundation Establishment cultivation. Li Zhouwei's mood suddenly improved. He raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance, actually seeing the seawater purple-red, permeating the ground.

The seawater here was actually purple-red, faintly mixed with some blue-purple, and the azure blue color of the He Tian Sea could not be seen at all. At least a large area in his field of vision was a purple-blue interlaced color. He immediately drove the light and flew up, appreciating it with slight doubt.

After flying only ten miles, he saw a loose cultivator driving the wind and staying on the sea surface. Li Zhouwei happened to need someone to ask for directions, so he waved his hand lightly, and a heavenly light jumped out, appearing not far from that cultivator.

Li Zhouwei's speed was not comparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he had the light-transforming shuttle method of the 【Yuan E】 soft armor. The loose cultivator naturally could not react. Seeing a late Foundation Establishment cultivator appear not far away, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. Seeing his bearing and magic tools were extraordinary, he hurriedly bowed:

"Small cultivator greets the Daoist!"

Li Zhouwei had no intention of making things difficult for him, only exploring: "In which direction is Tai E Island? Why is the seawater here purple-red?"

The cultivator hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Daoist, Tai E Island is more than seventy miles to the southeast. This place is the Lu Zi Small Reef, which is one of the few places around Tai E Island where resources can be collected... Originally, it produced spiritual sand, but it has been dug empty by passing cultivators over the years, leaving only the cinnabar vein on the seabed. The seawater also contains cinnabar, and looking from afar, it appears purple-red."

He smiled ingratiatingly and replied:

"This name and territory both have origins. Back then, Senior Li, known as 【Jin Geng Gang Xian】, guarded this place. A water ape came to commit an offense with great prestige. I heard it was a great beast not far from Zifu, but it was shot and killed here by that Senior with three arrows, turning into a hundred miles of cinnabar, thus there was this small reef... I heard it was because this beast had some... some full..."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at this person more favorably, drove the light together, flew toward the southeast direction he pointed, and said:

"There is actually this origin! What you said is 'Full Dan'... Who named this 【Lu Zi Small Reef】? Who is in charge of Tai E Island now?"

This loose cultivator was also someone who knew how to flatter. He immediately made a sudden realization, nodded repeatedly, and said:

"Yes, yes, yes... 'Full Dan'. The Lord is still knowledgeable. 【Lu Zi Small Reef】 was not originally called this name. It was called Lu Ape Small Reef... It was just that the Island Lord guarding this island was surnamed Yuan, and it didn't sound very good... so it was replaced by color..."

Li Zhouwei drove the light extremely fast. In just a few words, the earthy yellow island appeared in the distance. Landing near it, the loose cultivator said respectfully:

"Lord, please give instructions... Small person Xiahou Damo is still somewhat familiar with this island. Being able to serve the Lord is the small cultivator's blessing..."

In the East Sea, such a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was alone, followed by no one, and looked noble could be considered an opportunity. The loose cultivator tried to grasp the opportunity. Li Zhouwei only nodded and replied:

"Take me to the place where magic tools are sold."

Hearing that the guarding cultivator on the island was surnamed Yuan and was also from the Qingchi Sect, it must be the Yuan family of Xun Lin. If it were a few decades earlier, there would be no need for anyone to lead the way, and Li Zhouwei would have to go to see him. Now that the two families had parted ways, Li Zhouwei was too lazy to pay attention to him and just let this person lead the way.

It was only two streets away when they arrived at the most luxurious place on the island, where a four-story high pavilion stood. Xiahou Damo stepped in first, and the attendants on the left and right came up with no good color. Li Zhouwei stepped in after him, and there were bright smiles on the left and right, calling him Lord one after another.

Li Zhouwei did not waste time. All the way to the highest place, he saw someone greet him. This time it was a blue-clothed man in Foundation Establishment. This vision was much higher than Xiahou Damo's, and he said politely:

"I don't know which lineage..."

Li Zhouwei sat firmly and replied: "A top-grade Foundation Establishment magic tool, obtained by killing a direct descendant. If you can accept it, then accept it. My elders also cultivate in Qingchi, so there is no need to perfunctory me."

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at it, his golden eyes sweeping over the other party's face twice, and suddenly felt a bit familiar, asking:

"What kind of cultivator are you?"

This person had already changed color. While whispering to someone to go down and invite someone, he said respectfully: "This junior is from Jiangbei, surnamed Zhou, called Boyun."

Li Zhouwei heard Jiangbei, and then followed by Boyun, immediately thought of a swordsman. Comparing the faces, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"General Gongsun Boyun... I have seen your brother, his swordsmanship is still passable."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Boyun was scared into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Li Zhouwei had no intention of arguing with him. He took out several jade boxes from his sleeve, laid them out one by one, and replied: "Two golden thorn magic tools of the Tangjin Sect, both are passable things. The green gourd of the Fu Shui, the best among Foundation Establishment, at the level of being passed down to the family. A wooden staff, standard, but can maintain the physique and assist in healing."

He took out another ordinary cloth storage bag, placed it on the table, and said: "The things inside are also of great value and easier to handle."

Zhou Boyun bowed and said:

"I don't know... what does the Senior need?"

Ordinary people would of course not use these things to exchange for spirit stones... there was no need at all. Moreover, magic tools of this grade could not be bought with spirit stones. However, for Li Zhouwei, or even the Li family today, most things that could not reach Zifu were of little significance, which made it difficult.

Li Zhouwei pondered for a moment and replied: "Need a very good magic shield, a flying shuttle, or a magic tool of similar grade..."

He paused and finally asked the most concerning topic: "Are there any Zifu-level resources and objects here?"

This question made Zhou Boyun at a loss. He was just a guest on this island, where would he have such ability? His face was full of embarrassment. Fortunately, there was a sound of movement on the stairs, and a loud laugh came: "I don't know which Fellow Daoist it is! Coming to my Tai E Island as a guest!"

Zhou Boyun was like receiving an amnesty, hurriedly retreated to the side, and said respectfully: "Island Lord!"

Li Zhouwei knew it was the one surnamed Yuan who had come. There was no big fluctuation in his expression. He was not a domineering person. He should have stood up to give face, but the relationship between the two families was truly awkward, and it could even be said that there was some resentment. He could only lower his eyes and remain silent.

An old man came up from the pavilion. He looked very old, his face was still kind, his hair was white, and he was leaning on a cane. Seeing the young man sitting in the seat without moving, he was a bit displeased.

If an ordinary cultivator dared to put on such airs, Yuan Hu'e would have scolded him long ago. It was just that the other party had profound cultivation and was extremely young. Worried about what kind of big background Li Zhouwei had, he did not dare to let his face sink too deep.

This Tai E Island of his was small to begin with. Although it had the name of Qingchi, it was easy for people to look down on it. What's more, these Zifu direct descendants all knew that Qingchi's Zifu was precarious at the moment. Seeing the jade boxes lined up on the case, he had a guess and only said half-softly and half-hardly:

"I am Yuan Hu'e, Xun Lin Yuan family, serving as the Island Lord of Tai E Island and the Peak Lord of Qingchi Lian Peak, guarding Tai E by the order of Qingchi..."

"I don't know what sacred person the Fellow Daoist is? No need to worry that my Qingchi cannot afford it. The Lu Zi spiritual trace is still there, 【Tian Ge Xia】 is powerful in the South Sea, and Wanli Shitang does not need much time to transport it..."

Li Zhouwei saw that the other party did not recognize him and understood that this old man had mostly been guarding this place for many years, had not personally experienced the affairs of the interior, and had even rarely gone to the interior, so he said casually:

"Cannot compare to the old Senior's prestige."

He smiled and replied: "This junior is from a small lake in the interior, surnamed Li, named Zhouwei."

The pavilion was silent for a moment. Zhou Boyun had a confused face, seemingly still comparing the location of this small lake in the interior. Yuan Hu'e's expression, however, stiffened on his face in an instant. His pupils suddenly dilated, and his gaze lingered on the young man's golden eyes after a beat.

His mind roared, blank, his hands and feet cold, followed by a complex and terrified feeling of horror:

'Li Zhouwei... is that Li family genius, the Bai Lin of the Li family!'

'The 【Bai Lin】 Li Zhouwei who intercepted and killed the Tangjin Sect Master Situ Mo, fought one against six, and killed the Zifu direct descendant and peak Foundation Establishment Yu Nanzi while holding the spiritual tool 【Yong Jing Xuan Huan】!'

'Why did this baleful star come to this place! Is he not afraid of Senior Chang Xiao!'
