Chapter 885: Purple Jade

Light flickered. In the pavilion, clear Qi drifted, the sun and moon shone together, and the man in white-gold Daoist robes spat out a mouthful of white Qi, his eyes slowly opening, causing the clear Qi in the pavilion to sway.

"Truly a precious place for cultivation."

The richness of the spirit energy in this pavilion was the first he had seen in his life. He had also seen the Lu Shui Spirit Pool in Mount Qingchi, but it was not as good as this place.

But as he cultivated, he felt horrified in his heart—what was truly important was not the richness of the spirit energy here, but the fact that the Yin and Yang of the spirit energy here were balanced and motionless.

These eight characters seemed very ordinary, and it was not uncommon for cultivators. The Cave Heaven of the Qingsong Guan back then was called Yin and Yang balanced, but the Yin and Yang balance in this pavilion was as hard as iron and stone, and could not be shaken! You know, cultivators and spirit energy influence each other. A territory may have balanced Yin and Yang and gentle spirit energy, but as long as someone casts spells, cultivates, refines artifacts, or refines pills, it will inevitably affect the Yin and Yang of a place, causing spirit energy to be high here and low there…

But in this place, whether Li Xieming released Early Zifu True Fire or divine ability sky light, the Yin and Yang Qi around him didn't move at all. Sitting cross-legged to cultivate, with the terrifying speed of Early Zifu absorbing spirit energy, it couldn't change a single inch of territory, and the spirit energy always maintained absolute equality.

Li Xieming even suspected that even if he died in this territory and turned into Mingyang sky light, this place would not have any Mingyang Qi, let alone colorful clouds.

As an alchemist, Li Xieming almost grasped this terrible characteristic in an instant:

"This territory, used to refine certain pills… and even certain spirit artifacts, is simply… too convenient."

He secretly recorded it, stood up, and only felt refreshed and majestic. Not only were his previous injuries healed, but he also had quite a lot of progress.

After a little calculation, what was unexpected was that Li Xieming had been in seclusion for a long time, a full year and more. This meant that the northern Buddhist cultivators had not had many big movements in this year, and Senior Tinglan and Ning Wan had not encountered any difficulties.

In this year, Li Xieming spent 70% of his time on 【Daoyan Xing】!

*'【Daoyan Xing】 has already entered the door, and can be used in fighting. And the cultivation of 【Bright Sky Waves】 is indeed very fast. It only took a short time to get started. Although I don't ask for how high the power is, at least it shows that this idea is correct…'*

Li Xieming didn't ask for spells to be comparable to those of Senior Chang Xiao, but if they could be comparable to a divine ability, even if they could drag and block, it would be excellent.

At this moment, waking up from cultivation, the jade talisman at his waist was also secretly heating up. Obviously, there were affairs in the family.

So he stepped out of the boundary, appeared in the 【Xiao Yuan Glazed Treasure Pagoda】 full of thunder, these thunderbolts with excellent power were like taking a hot bath for him, and then stepped out one more step, and arrived at Mount Zhijing Mountain.

He sat upright in his seat, probed with his spirit sense, and saw the unfamiliar True Person in the small pavilion outside the mountain. Li Li Jiangqian had indeed left seclusion and was waiting on the side with a good attitude.

So he said loudly:

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

So the great formation opened, and he saw a gray wind descending from the sky, carrying a gloomy aura and condensing in front of his eyes, turning into a True Person wearing a robe.

This person's clothes were strange, with a precious sword at his waist, his eyes were gloomy, and his aura was fluctuating, vaguely stained with divine ability, seemingly suppressing some changes. He looked like a character not to be provoked, but since he was in someone else's formation, he gave some face and bowed:

"The poor Daoist is Dingyangzi of Lacquer Marsh, seen the fellow Daoist."

Li Xieming had guessed early on that this person was the helper Senior Kuiqi pulled in. He guessed that he hadn't broken through to the middle stage of Early Zifu, but he didn't know how many divine abilities he had. He smiled and replied, saying:

"Please!"

So he instructed people to take the witch arts, and he took this True Person to turn around on Mount Zhijing Mountain, pointing out the traces of Wushan that had existed in the past.

But Wushan had been looted, and so many years had passed, so there were not many legacies left. He had divine abilities in this place, and Dingyangzi obviously didn't see any satisfactory things, but Li Xieming didn't ask for anything, his attitude was good, and he gave enough face, so the True Person's expression improved a lot, and he was somewhat close, saying in a deep voice:

"What a pity. Senior Duanmu Kui is powerful, but he is unwilling to pass on true skills. This Wushan is not as good as its reputation."

Soon, someone lifted a box of jade slips and placed them at Dingyangzi's feet. This True Person sat down, took the directory introduction from Li Xieming's hand, and had some understanding of these witch arts. His brows frowned and stretched from time to time, and it could only be said that the harvest was ordinary.

Li Xieming knew his own family's affairs. If there were any powerful witch arts on Wushan, his family would have used them long ago. They were nothing more than things of low quality, at most taking some creative ideas, and silently sipped tea.

But he saw Dingyangzi put down the jade slips and didn't say much, seemingly having some other worries, drank the jade cup in one gulp, and said refreshingly:

"I hope to see the magic artifact."

Li Xieming handed over the jade box. The cultivator opened the box, his eyes lit up, and he praised:

"Good treasure!"

The things of South Shun Luo She were obviously not bad. He picked it up and looked at it carefully for a long time, actually showing some reluctance, and whispered: "If the fellow Daoist has the heart, I would like to exchange for this thing…"

Li Xieming couldn't let him exchange it, and after two or three sentences of refusal, Dingyangzi also knew that it was unlikely to be exchanged, so he refreshingly gave up, saying very neatly: "The Tiger Pass Upper Sect has mentioned it to me, I have already planned it, no need to be polite!"

He said in a deep voice:

"I have been refining this artifact for I don't know how many years, sooner or later. I have few people on my side, and I don't have such a big shop as yours on the lake, nor is it as rich in products as Wangyue. Refining it every year, the resources and materials naturally should come from Wangyue."

"This is as it should be."

Li Xieming heard him mention 【Tiger Pass Upper Sect】, and felt secretly emotional, replied, and Dingyangzi said:

"My Lacquer Marsh lineage is bound by the Mount Zhanghuai Upper Sect, with many missing methods, and the spirit pills are even worse. I am not good at refining pills, and this time I am also saying one more sentence to the fellow Daoist."

"Refining artifacts for so many years, I hope the fellow Daoist will send me a 【Suiyuan Pill】 every year. When the spirit embryo is refined, I must give me six Early Zifu-level 【Hui Shui Brother Xuan Dao Powder】. As for the pill formula and main medicine, I have already brought them."

"Oh?"

Li Xieming smiled slightly. With his alchemy, Suiyuan Pill was not a problem at all. As for 【Hui Shui Brother Xuan Dao Powder】, he could also see the pill formula first. It was a spirit pill that clears the eyes and calms the heart and increases the Dao industry. It was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators, and the use was single… After all, if he couldn't guarantee six, wasting other people's main medicine would offend people.

This difficulty was not as good as 【Tian Yi Tu Cui Pill】, and he had a surplus himself, so why not do it? He glanced at it and was happy to accept it, smiling:

"Good!"

This 'good' was crisp and neat, making Dingyangzi look at him highly. He put the jade slips and jade box on the table, took away the magic artifact and witch arts, and arched his hands: "I still have spirit artifacts refining in the furnace, which is extremely important. Although there are a few boys in charge, I cannot leave Lacquer Marsh too much. However, the fellow Daoist can rest assured that I will start another furnace and take care of it together, and I will definitely handle the matter beautifully."

"I won't stay here much."

Li Xieming finally understood why his words were concise and straightforward. His face was not good-looking when he landed on the mountain. I am afraid he was worried about the spirit artifacts at home. He hurriedly sent him out, sighing secretly in his heart: *'Senior Kuiqi has such a big face, Tiger Pass Upper Sect… one sentence invited people to the lake. If there is any important matter, promise it, and this Dingyangzi will not be able to refuse. If it weren't for the spirit artifacts refining in the furnace, I am afraid he would have been invited by Senior Kuiqi to deal with the Buddhist cultivators at that time!'*

……

Wangyue Lake.

Thunder roared, electric light flashed, and heavy dark clouds permeated the lake, reflecting the lake water like ink. A few common people supported small boats to flee on the lake. After a while, cultivators came out to greet them.

So he saw apricot-colored flames fluttering, condensing and dancing in mid-air. The man in the dark red robe stepped down on the fire, looking at the distant mountain peak from afar.

His brows contained anxiety, looking at the sky. After waiting for a while, he heard thunder exploding in the sky, shining slightly, and a thunder light galloped forward, revealing a man: "Hahahaha!"

This man is burly, with lush hair, an extremely strong physique, wearing a jade armor, and two bronze bells tied to his waist, both the size of a fist, in high spirits, calling: "Master!"

Li Li Jiangqian joined his hands, relieved. After all, there were guests on the mountain, and the sky suddenly darkened. I am afraid it was not that the Early Zifu couldn't talk about fighting. Now that he knew it was his own family breaking through, he hurriedly smiled:

"Congratulations to the clan uncle!"

The person in front of him is naturally Li Zhouda, who inherited Li Cheng's mantle and incense. After tossing for so many years, he finally succeeded. Once he built the foundation, he was naturally proud of the spring breeze. He waved his hand and wanted to say something, but paused for a long time, only saying: "How fast!"

Li Li Jiangqian laughed, welcomed him down, and said: "Clan uncle broke through just right, congratulations, congratulations!"

Li Zhouda spent a lot of time building the foundation. It seems that the spirit pill played a not small role. If there were no resources and spirit pills in the family, the possibility of this man building the foundation would really not be high, and even with the passage of time, there were many rumors of his fall…

Li Zhouda just left seclusion, naturally didn't know, his mood was just right, and he laughed and replied:

"It is really the ancestor's blessing. I was afraid that I would be incompetent and couldn't continue the incense. Now it is a great thing. I will go back and hold a big banquet. These few branches and rooms will all come to give face and eat wine!"

He is naturally not a restrained person, full of pride. The cultivators in the family gradually gathered. Li Li Jiangqian smiled and retreated to the side, his eyes scanning back and forth, seemingly counting people.

Li Li Jiangqian had already left seclusion for more than half a year. Not only did he break through to the middle stage of Zhu Ji, but he also consolidated his cultivation. In fact, taking the Lu Pill, the late stage of Zhu Ji was just within reach. But at this time, there were many people and eyes, and it seemed unreasonable, so he naturally didn't take it.

And during the time he left seclusion, he rarely put down the affairs of the family and carefully practiced spells. The "Great Li Book" was originally an excellent lineage, so he was radiant, obviously having made progress in Daoism and spells.

Everyone was celebrating, and saw heavy black Qi drifting away. The sky in the east was hazy, vaguely with purple light, and a sky light crossed out from the lake, manifesting a figure nearby. Everyone hurriedly bowed, respectfully saying: "Seen the True Person!"

"Not bad."

The one who manifested his figure was Li Xieming, who sent people back. At this moment, he nodded to Li Zhouda, signaling approval, but his eyes stared into the distance, half suspicious and half heavy: *'What a piece of purple clouds.'*

Celestial phenomena have never been a simple matter. The clouds in the east are purple, like tiles piled up, stacked in the sky, and when the morning glow shines, it is purple and gold, full of joy, quite spectacular.

At this moment, he couldn't care too much, and instructed: "You guys settle down well, I'll go."

So he turned into light and rose, all the way to the east, but only a few steps away, he saw the noisy scene of Yufu County, cultivators rising and falling, all whispering, secretly discussing, divine abilities flashing in mid-air, and a man in brown-gray robes flew out: "True Person Daoist Houfu!"

True Person Daoist Houfu nodded, full of admiration, and seeing Li Xieming, he pressed down the clouds to greet him, led him with his hand, and praised:

"It's a great thing, the miraculousness is done."

A sentence 'the miraculousness is done' had already made it clear. Li Xieming had doubts in his heart, and hearing this, he was overjoyed, clapping his hands:

"Good… very good, Ziyan blessed land, it is indeed a deep blessing!"

Then he saw purple Qi moving, rising from the blessed land, revealing a woman wearing purple mist-shrouded clothes, carrying a purple jade long sword on her back, with a beautiful face, bowing in the air, smiling: "Kan Ziyu has seen all fellow Daoists!"

In front of her was Senior Tinglan wearing autumn yellow clothes, her joy was even stronger, only saying: "This is Kan Kan Ziyu, Daoist name Wenqing, who has achieved miraculousness today…"

Everyone opened their mouths to congratulate. Kan Kan Ziyu also returned the salute to everyone with a face full of joy, following Senior Tinglan. The blessed land was full of joy, and there was brilliance everywhere.

*'Kan Kan Ziyu…'*

Li Xieming calculated secretly. If it were really calculated, this Kan Kan Ziyu was at least of the same era as his Uncle Master Li Li Xuanfeng. He should be of the same generation as Zhong Qian Zhong Qian Lizi, but Jiangnan didn't pay much attention to this, unless they were of the same sect, it was still about the priority of divine abilities and the master of the Dao. This True Person Wenqing still came to salute him.

True Person Senior Tinglan looked around and smiled:

"Kan Ziyu still needs to nourish her cultivation and stabilize her divine abilities… Thank you, fellow Daoists."

Li Xieming undoubtedly had joy, secretly sighing: *'It's really sending charcoal in the snow…'*

Calculated this way, there were quite a few geniuses of the same era as Kan Kan Ziyu. Excluding the few in seclusion in Mount Qingchi, Xiu Kui had a Lin Lin Chensheng, who cultivated 'Upper Witch', and didn't know if he had broken through to Early Zifu successfully.

He was pondering, and then noticed that True Person Daoist Houfu should have been in the Great West Plain, so he couldn't help asking: "Senior, the matter in the west…"

Daoist Houfu looked at him with a smile and replied: "The Sun lineage's rotation of this place is a rule left behind, but I have been here for a long time and am tired of it. I discussed it with the Jianmen several times and handed it over to Xiu Kui. The remaining years will be replaced by the Jianmen, and I also invited True Person Ni of Wu State to help, and I will pay it back next time."

Li Xieming smiled: "This is a good way."

The Jianmen is old-fashioned and has that sword book to suppress it. Although there are two True Persons, Li Xieming has not seen True Person Cheng gather with the Sun lineage so far, which shows his attitude, which is obviously inclined to avoid the world. Only Ling Mei really has the heart to change the situation.

Under this situation, Ling Mei's resistance to taking action is also great. Now that they have exchanged, it is undoubtedly an implicit help, which made Li Xieming nod secretly:

*'And pulled in some True Person Ni, sure enough… during the time I was in seclusion, the True Persons of the Sun lineage obviously didn't let go of any breathing time and kept accumulating strength.'*

Pondering, he saw Senior Tinglan driving purple Qi over. Kan Kan Ziyu's breakthrough was obviously beyond her expectation. Even with her mind, there was still some joy that couldn't be contained, smiling:

"Can Zhaojing has left seclusion."

Li Xieming nodded with a smile, seeing her hand lead, signaling to go to Mount Tangdao Mountain together: "Ning Wan went to Shahuang Country, and went to the South Sea on the way. She is not here at the moment…"

She straightened her expression and said:

"After all, whether it is Shahuang Country or South Shun Luo She, there are human feelings. Ask more, if there is a chance to help…"

Li Xieming nodded to show that he understood. Mount Tangdao Mountain had already appeared in front of his eyes. A black brilliance covered it, overlapping and changing, turning into various forms of brilliance, and an ancient aura rushed towards his face.

Senior Tinglan and Ning Wan did not build a Early Zifu great formation like the Li family. After all, it is not a simple matter to build it, and this place is not a mountain gate of any family, so there is no need at all. Instead, they used a Early Zifu formation disk spirit artifact to protect it, and set up formation points with formation cultivation to amplify it, and the momentum was not small.

But Li Xieming saw this appearance and sighed secretly:

*'It is indeed a spirit artifact from the Great Xiu Kui Guan lineage. It seems that Senior Kuiqi is right. The North Sea trip was in vain.'*
