Chapter 913: Restoring Merits (112) (Silver addition for Hidden Dragon boss 1420)

Li Li Zhouwei waited quietly, his heart gradually settling: 'But Senior Tinglan and Hou Fei are not fools. If it were a hundred years ago, it would be fine, but now that Kui Qi's death has made them put down their high and mighty posture, and they still want to use the previous tricks to deal with us... I am afraid it will not be easy!'

Sure enough, after waiting for a moment, he saw the Great Void ripple, and a waterfall of purple light flowed, revealing a woman in purple. Her face was beautiful, with fine eyebrows and delicate eyes. She bowed slightly and said softly: "I have met King King Bolie."

Her attitude was very respectful, and the prince before her nodded slightly and replied:

"So it is Shuxiu. Congratulations on achieving your divine ability! You left the Qi lands, and the few old people in the Qi land formation path still miss you to this day. When they got news of you in previous years, they were all very happy and kept sending it to my palace."

Li Li Zhouwei suddenly understood: 'This True Person Senior Tinglan was also originally from the Qi state! It was True Person Senior Zipei who went to take her as a disciple! Now it seems she has known this King King Bolie for a long time... Even listening to this tone, unlike the various cultivators of the Sun orthodoxy, she, Senior Tinglan, might even have a layer of monarch-subject relationship with Gao Fu!'

Then he saw True Person Senior Tinglan blink slightly and say in a low voice: "The prince's kindness, Shuxiu is grateful for in her heart, so today, hearing that the prince's carriage had crossed the river, I specifically came to welcome you. If there is any offense... I ask for your forgiveness."

She led the way gently, and the three of them stepped through the Great Void and landed on the cliff by the river.

This place was facing the beach and the surging river water. Pavilions stood on the cliff, and two guards were watching. They landed in the pavilion, and Li Li Zhouwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that Senior Tinglan came in time, and only she could handle the matter of inviting Gao Fu to land. Otherwise, the two would have to continue to confront each other awkwardly in the Great Void, and they would have to consider the feelings of the Sun orthodoxy.

This woman took over the matter lightly, sat down in the pavilion, started brewing tea, and said softly:

"King King Bolie has traveled south all the way; has this matter been settled?"

Gao Fu had a majestic figure. Sitting in the pavilion, he looked very mighty. He stroked his beard and said:

"It is acceptable... The Huaijiang Dao was once established by Emperor Zhao Emperor Zhaowu. For so many years, it has been a nominal prefecture or two. Duke Xu died violently, and the capital originally had the intention of conquering, but it has been tossed for so many years..."

"Now the three sects of Chengyun, Duxian, and Xuanmiao all serve Zhao Shuo and have changed to the Huaijiang orthodoxy. Fortunately, the matter was easy, and there were not many casualties."

In fact, Gao Fu traveling south was really a policy of gentleness toward the three immortal sects, and it was also the result of the lack of unity within the release cultivators and the mutual restraint of various families. It was already the best of bad luck. Senior Tinglan did not have much resentment toward Gao Fu, only saying in a low voice: "I do not know how the three sects north of the river, Zhi Zhi Brother Xuan Yu Xie, are registered?"

The two seemed to have no North-South barrier at all. Gao Fu sipped tea very naturally: "True Person Changyun of the Chengyun Immortal Sect cultivates 'Geng Metal.' Now that the orthodoxy has been verified, it comes from ancient cultivation and belongs to Douxuan."

"True Person Yehui of the Duxian orthodoxy cultivates 'Duwei,' which is even more distinct. There is no doubt about the Douxuan orthodoxy."

"As for True Person Sumian of the Xuanmiao Temple..."

Gao Fu's expression was solemn. He paused slightly and replied:

"I know this True Person Sumian. Now everyone in the mountains says that he took Qi Qi Qiuxin to the overseas, chose a place for seclusion, and helped Qi Qi Qiuxin break through to the Purple Prefecture. Even that statue of the grandmaster was taken away, leaving only a handwritten letter."

He said with some interest:

"If the release comes, cast to the release; if Qi comes, cast to the Qi. Once the Dao gate is destroyed, move to the peak across the lake."

Li Li Zhouwei frowned secretly.

'Sumian still has some means, at least he could predict so long ago that it would be Gao Fu traveling south to end it...'

The so-called "if Qi comes, cast to the Qi"—King King Bolie is the King of Qi, but there was once an Emperor of Qi in those years, and his end was not very good. The Gao family had no orthodoxy bloodline inheritance from him, so naturally, they could not use this Qi, so they used King Bolie...

And the so-called peak across the lake is exactly the spiritual mountain that Senior Changxi turned into after his death!

After all, Xuanmiao is a Tongxuan orthodoxy, and it has no biased stance between the North and South, and it even made friends with many Northern cultivators. The Purple Prefecture is abroad, so no matter how Xuanmiao Temple tosses, there will be no miserable consequences. The last retreat Sumian left for them was that mountain land.

Li Li Zhouwei just frowned, while Senior Tinglan thanked him. Then he saw a group of people coming up the cliff. Chen Yang held a box of gold and iron and came up, saying respectfully: "I have met all True Persons!"

Not knowing King King Bolie's attitude, the people below the Li family naturally would not send direct descendants, only letting Chen Yang come forward to present the box, saying respectfully:

"Jiang Huzi passed away a few days ago. Before she died, she exhausted her cultivation, made seven talismans in a row, and died with her cultivation and essence blood exhausted. The phenomenon was not significant. Now everything is in the box."

Li Li Zhouwei took it from his hand first. During this brief contact, his spiritual sense swept over it lightly and then sent it to Gao Fu's hand. This King King Bolie took the gold box and opened it gently. Inside were seven gold talismans and a small letter.

'【Jin Jia Profound Skill Talisman】.'

Li Li Zhouwei had long known what was inside and was not surprised. Although the 【Jin Jia Profound Skill Talisman】 was a Foundation Establishment talisman, it was not a very remarkable talisman; it could only condense a Dharma power armor to resist the enemy's spells.

Gao Fu's pupils dilated, and he was silent and choked up. He put it away, and his majestic eyes immediately closed, unable to open for a long time. Finally, he looked at the suicide note, which was only eight characters:

"The South is peaceful, I am fortunate to have a good end."

She did not mention a word about the Gao family, but emphasized that she had a good end. This King King Bolie closed his eyes and accepted it, bowing slightly: "Thank you, Young Master!"

He thanked him for this sentence and did not say another word. He stepped into the Great Void and disappeared.

Li Li Zhouwei bowed to see him off. Senior Tinglan at the side flicked her finger gently, and a purple light curtain immediately covered the pavilion. She said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Minghuang is indeed not a common type!"

"I have met Senior."

Li Li Zhouwei's eyes contained light, and he replied:

"Thank you, Senior, for resolving the siege!"

Senior Tinglan heard this, and a chill rose in her eyes. She closed her eyes and sighed heavily: "If I hadn't come, this time it would have been troublesome..."

She appeared somewhat annoyed and said in a low voice: "I didn't know Senior Gao Xijiang was in your family's territory! Fortunately, your family handled it well, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it now!"

Li Li Zhouwei's eyes sank, and he asked:

"Does the Gao family have a divine ability surname Lou?"

This remark was meaningful and asked right at the key point.

Li Li Zhouwei did not understand the inside of the Gao family, but the will of the Purple Prefecture had always been absolute. Clearly, this King King Bolie held old kindness toward the Wei Li, yet there could still be voices of opposition within the Gao family. There was only one possibility—the voices of opposition were also Purple Prefecture.

'There is one, or even more than one, Purple Prefecture within the Gao family who hopes to restore Lou and cut off the relationship with the Wei state. I am afraid they used the name of the elder Jiang Huzi to make him cross the river... This also happened to meet the North's need to sow discord. Both sides pressured him together, and that was how King King Bolie traveled south...'

'If Gao Fu hadn't come in person, the one who came would have been a Gao family member with the compound surname 【Lou】, and the scene would have inevitably become extremely ugly, so he had to come in person!'

Senior Tinglan stared at him for a moment and replied: "Exactly. Lou Wei, Lou Yingge, are all figures of the Gao family... For these years, the Gao family has always had entanglements in serving Wei..."

She was from the Qi land, so naturally, she knew a lot about this matter, otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed over. At the moment, her eyes contained cold light, and she said in a low voice: "Senior Xijiang had high prestige, and her remaining life had some wishes, nothing more than to see the Wei descendants..."

"If the senior had fallen into your hands, or suffered any harsh treatment, the Northern forces would probably have had a 【Lou】 Purple Prefecture rushing down immediately, making a big scene, and taking the opportunity to cut the relationship between Gao and Li with one sword!"

"But they waited and waited, and Jiang Huzi was safe and sound in your house, and she still had a breath, could distinguish right from wrong, and left a suicide note, so they had to settle for the second best, forcing Gao Fu to have to come. On one hand, it was to sow discord, and on the other hand... this hidden piece was turned against him, King King Bolie, instead!"

She only said half of it, and Li Li Zhouwei understood. His eyes narrowed: "The various Northern families just worked together to calculate against the release cultivators and picked the peaches, and immediately there was retaliation. They forced King King Bolie to cross the river, but at this time no one ignored him. The severity of the mutual calculation and harm in the North is evident!"

In the current awkward situation of Wei Li, he, King King Bolie, is a prince with a different surname of the Zhao state, and he already had no small suspicion, yet he was polite to Wei Li... It just so happened that King King Bolie Gao Fu was a person of thick righteousness and kindness, and even if it was just a fellow Daoist, he refused to say it...

'And this King King Bolie and Jiang Huzi had no malice toward my family, and Jiang Huzi's original intention was just to take a look at my family...'

Senior Tinglan nodded gently and said softly: "Now that this has happened, the various Daos of Huaijiang will inevitably spread rumors that the Gao clan harbors thoughts of Wei Li. For him, King King Bolie, it is really not a good thing."

Li Li Zhouwei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the surging river water under the mountain, silent for a long time, and said softly:

"King King Bolie has great style. Now that he has persuaded the three immortal sects, he has no malice toward the south, so naturally, a group of people are hoping to force him away! They cannot tolerate him for a moment."

True Person Senior Tinglan sipped tea in the pavilion, finally covered the matter without mentioning it, and asked:

"Why don't I see Can Zhaojing?"

Li Li Zhouwei understood her meaning. If he had known the current situation earlier, it would naturally be better for Li Li Ximing to come and welcome him. But first, he did not know in advance that Gao Fu was traveling south, nor did he know the significance of his traveling south, making it difficult to guard against. Second... Li Li Ximing was also not there, so he said:

"The elder wants to find spiritual fire, and now he has reached the overseas. He cannot rush back for a while."

"Spiritual fire..."

Li Li Zhouwei said this, and Senior Tinglan was slightly puzzled, replying:

"Is it for you to find... there is no need to be so urgent..."

Li Li Zhouwei looked at her concerned appearance, had some thoughts, and replied:

"Not so. It is because there is an ancestral secret technique that needs Xuanyang Xuanyang Lihuo to be performed. It has been delayed, so I thought of going out to find some clues."

Senior Tinglan then understood and pondered: "Xuanyang Xuanyang Lihuo is a thing that clearly only Heng Zhu has a portion of in the Yue state. As for the Wu state, the Qing family also had a portion in those years, but they all have high eyes and broad spirits. Spiritual fire is not like other things, and it is not easy to exchange for."

She was talking about Xuanyang Xuanyang Lihuo, but in fact, as long as one's own family obtained a portion of spiritual fire, one could probably use the "Runyang Method" to exchange for Xuanyang Xuanyang Lihuo. But Li Li Zhouwei understood the value of the Runyang Method and did not reveal it easily, so he shook his head pretending to be disappointed.

Senior Tinglan was attentive and said seriously:

"I mentioned the Southern Border to him earlier. You can go and take a look. I will also arrange it for him here. When there is news, I will reply."

Li Li Zhouwei was slightly surprised, nodded, and was about to say goodbye, but Senior Tinglan said softly: "These few days... Zhu Gong's injury is constantly deteriorating. Injury upon injury is already troublesome, and as a result, her Dharma body had a tendency to collapse a few days ago. It cannot be cured for a while."

"When in the East Sea, Heng Xing looked at her with great dissatisfaction and was determined not to pay attention to her at all. A few days ago, I asked Hou Fei to look at it, and it was somewhat difficult to handle. This time I came, it was originally to find Can Zhaojing."

Li Li Zhouwei frowned secretly. He was not familiar with this person Zhu Gong, nor would he make decisions for Li Li Ximing, and he was even less willing to deal with her more, so he replied: "The elder will not be gone for too long. When he returns, I will definitely inform him."

Senior Tinglan nodded silently and soon left the pavilion, leaving Li Li Zhouwei standing in the mountain wind. The river water under his feet was surging, the strange rocks were jagged, and the white waves surged up. It was not until the sunset fell that he exhaled heavily: "Who can be free!"

Southern Border.

Mountains undulating, jungles dense, birds soaring, demons howling, one after another, one layer after another, demon ridges pressing on demon ridges, demon countries leaning on demon countries.

Li Li Ximing crossed thousands of miles, first from Zhu Lu to the South Sea, then from the South Sea to Sha Huang, bypassed the Piao people's country, and flew all the way to the Great Western Plain's ten thousand demon ridges.

Along the way, there was rolling slaughter and blood everywhere. Nearby there were still a few Purple Prefecture countries, but when he reached the depths, it was truly demons who were in charge, governing their countries well. The barbarians were thin and bony, like cattle and sheep, running away with their heads in their hands, while the demon things were fat and big-eared, riding in high carriages, speeding past.

There were many barbarians here, but there were no people who spoke the Chinese language. Each used their own barbarian language, and their habits were similar to those of the demon kind. They did not know cups or chopsticks, and actually only used a pair of hands to eat. Most of them practiced some release methods, and they could not even be counted as monks.

Li Li Ximing took a look and understood:

'After all, the release method is easy to use, making people feel at ease waiting for death to seek the next life, and this demon country also likes to use it.'

Looking at it this way, this group of barbarians was not living very well. The North was full of common people, only seeking death, at least there was land to plant. This place was numb in all four borders, begging for the leftovers of demon things to survive, which was not as good as the North!

Demon things were not good at formations, and there was nothing to avoid in these places. Li Li Ximing traveled through the Great Void all the way and soon arrived at the so-called Xipo Country.

This country was magnificent, built around a high mountain. Unlike the buildings and courtyards of the South, high towers and bell towers could be seen everywhere, wind-shaking treasure trees, five-colored hazy, thousands of strange flowers, blooming everywhere. Actually, no human figures could be seen. Various demon things came in and out, all wearing clothes, extremely lively.

But a thousand miles out of this mountain, one could see hell, wolf smoke everywhere, various demon tribes fighting each other, offering blood food to this most central city-state.

'This place is already demons enslaving demons, no human figures can be seen, it is a pure demon country...'

Li Li Ximing rode the light and landed. In this magnificent treasure tower, a pair of demon generals immediately rode the wind to welcome him. After only one look, one demon bowed to him, gestured for him to wait, and one demon immediately turned his head and called into the dark door of the treasure tower.

The bell in the treasure tower rang loudly, two rows of demon generals rushed out, cloud Qi rose in the sky, auspicious clouds covered, listening to a loud shout from the depths of the treasure tower, speaking some unknown language, yelling in a mess.

"Awoo......"

Then auspicious Qi rose, golden light dazzling, actually a man flew out of the treasure tower, his pupils white and red, born treacherous and handsome, wearing white bone armor, blood-colored silk, fierce power, good and terrifying, with a pair of golden wings behind him, stepping on the rising golden clouds, staring at Li Li Ximing.

This demon had majestic momentum, auspicious light accumulated, holding a brilliant long knife in his hand, Purple Prefecture early stage cultivation, but the divine ability flowed in his eyes, stepping on auspicious clouds, actually giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.

This demon was exactly the Great Sa Po King of Xipo Country!

'To be able to kill his way out in the depths of the Southern Border and establish his own demon country, there is no weak person. It is completely different from the situation where dragon attributes are on top in the East Sea and South Sea. This one is not only a noble descendant, I am afraid that fighting is very powerful!'

Li Li Ximing took a look, sized up his Dharma body, bowed slightly, and replied: "I am Can Zhaojing, from Moon Lake."

This demon was slightly stunned, suddenly realized, opened his mouth, and actually spoke standard official language, and it was even a Southern accent:

"So it is a fellow Daoist! Please!"

Li Li Ximing was secretly surprised. He knew the rules of the South quite well, did not invite Li Li Ximing to the treasure tower, but pointed to a small building on a five-colored pool and smiled:

"I did not know it was the True Person's immortal carriage, it is truly an offense!"

Then he turned on the spot and turned into a scholar in white, but still had that treacherous and handsome face, pupils red and white, looking instead not like a scholar, but like a demon teacher who would bring disaster to the country.

He invited Li Li Ximing to sit down and smiled: "I am Senior Fuxun, the Lord of Xipo Country... That tiger demon claimed that there was a True Person behind him, and it was true. Today I have seen the real person! It is my divine ability that is bright, and I have good fortune, but I must also thank the True Person for being willing to walk to this mountain wilderness!"

The other party cultivated auspicious Qi. It was no problem to say that it was caused by divine ability. Li Li Ximing did not think that this Senior Fuxun still had a few words of human language, and the Southern accent sounded quite intimate, so he replied:

"The Great King has such a good Southern accent, it is truly intimate!"

Senior Fuxun shook his head and smiled:

"It is a good friend of mine, who is from the South. A few days ago, he decided to handle some affairs for me and taught me some Southern language along the way."

"Oh?"

Li Li Ximing was immediately interested, but Senior Fuxun interrupted him in advance and smiled: "Since the fellow Daoist is here, why not mention it?"

Naturally, there was only interest between the two. Li Li Ximing was not polite and said seriously:

"Please show me the outline of the alchemy technique, I will take a close look to ensure that this elixir can be refined, only then will you and I have the necessity to continue talking..."

"Good!"

This demon, who looked like a scholar, laughed and took a wooden slip from his sleeve. Li Li Ximing had not yet started, but he was already somewhat surprised and wondered: "Listening Soul Tinghun Sangmu?"

The wooden slip in this demon's hand was exactly made of Listening Soul Tinghun Sangmu, looking ancient. After hearing him ask this, the old demon was not surprised, only held this slip in his hand and smiled: "I heard that the Yue state is the territory of the Sun orthodoxy. I do not know what rank the fellow Daoist's alchemy path can be ranked?"

Li Li Ximing raised his eyebrows.

If one really wants to talk about it, among the alchemists in the South today, I am afraid that only Xiao Xiao Chuting and Heng Xing are hard to say. Others are either lower than him or have long been left behind by him. He took a low position and said modestly:

"Not talking about the high ones, I rank third."

Senior Fuxun's eyes lit up, but he felt that he was more than that, and said:

"Please!"

Li Li Ximing's spiritual sense moved. This wooden slip really locked the latter part. After reading it carefully, he lowered his brows and did not speak.

【Wangjin Brother Xuan Yan Elixir】! The refining method of this elixir was unprecedented and extremely ancient. It was a method to achieve the Profound Elixir. It did not seek to refine as many elixirs as possible in one furnace, but sought to condense all the medicinal power into one place, taking the meaning of mixing into one. If it could be achieved, it would be one elixir; if not, it would be empty, and not a bit of anything would be left!

Today's alchemy path has evolved to an extreme. Cultivators like Li Li Ximing, who are deep in alchemy, can produce more than six elixirs in one furnace. Even if they encounter the worst, they can produce one or two, but there is no precedent for leaving nothing behind.

And the main medicine of this elixir is even more peculiar, using the heart of the Purple Prefecture-level 【Brother Xuan Kui Golden Winged Bat】, paired with a Purple Prefecture "Auspicious Qi" spiritual object called 【Undescending Golden Cloud】 to refine! The difficulty is higher than Senior Tinglan's 【Tianyi Tu Cui Elixir】 in those years by a few points! Li Li Ximing looked at it and wanted to speak but stopped. His first reaction was actually: 'This demon! What a thick family background!'

Senior Fuxun saw his expression and appeared somewhat anxious. Obviously, he also understood that it was really somewhat harsh. Li Li Ximing shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist, this elixir is really embarrassing!"

One must know that the 【Brother Xuan Kui Golden Winged Bat】 has long been extinct. In ancient times, it was also a noble descendant of the Purple Prefecture level, only one level lower than the dragon attribute, and on the same level as Wu Pian, the 【Chongli Wu Ping Fire Yang Luan】 that Li Li Zhouwei saw in those years, which is equivalent to digging out the heart of this Wu Pian, and then using the 【Undescending Golden Cloud】 that can not fear weak water and know good and bad people to refine! In other words, once this elixir fails, it is not consuming any spiritual resources, but properly consuming two portions of non-ordinary Purple Prefecture spiritual objects. Not to mention that Senior Fuxun is a demon from a barbaric place, even if it were him, Li Li Ximing, who had these two portions of Purple Prefecture spiritual objects wasted by others, he would immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and anger would rise in his heart!

Senior Fuxun was asked by him like this and appeared somewhat embarrassed, but he also could not afford this loss and absolutely did not dare to make any guarantees, so he could only sigh silently.

'No wonder no one has refined it for this demon for so long!'

Li Li Ximing cursed secretly in his heart, estimated slightly, and hesitated: 'Actually, it is not impossible. If I can borrow the spiritual furnace of Kui Kui... it might not be impossible to succeed... it is just that there is only a 70% or 80% probability...'

But if one really wants to calculate it, this matter is too troublesome. He could only look at the chips first and replied:

"This True Person specifically came to the Southern Border because I need spiritual fire of the Purple Prefecture level."

He understood the preciousness of spiritual fire and immediately added: "Even if there are clues, it is good."

Once these words were spoken, Senior Fuxun's red and white eyes stared at him, one hand supported on the case, the other hand tapping the armrest, seemingly judging his sincerity, and soon replied: "I will not hide it from the fellow Daoist, west of this Xipo Country of mine, there is a Bai Jia Country. The owner of Bai Jia Country is a Vermilion Bird, and there is a fire in her hand, called 【Bai Xi Industry Fire】. If the fellow Daoist has any ideas, kill that bird and take her fire!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xi shook his head. He was no greenhorn; how could he get entangled with Fu Xun in the struggles of these few demon kingdoms? He only said:

"At the moment, I have no intention of killing the demon king and destroying the situation, only hoping to exchange for it."

"Then it is difficult!"

Senior Fuxun sighed and sighed, but looked at his face and did not want to miss this opportunity, gritted his teeth and said: "Fellow Daoist, give me a firm word! If you make a move, how many percent of the certainty do you have!"
