Chapter 975: Setting Armor

Qize.

The mountain forest was pitch black, covered in white snow, black and white mixed, making the scenery moving. Li Xieming drove the light and landed, just seeing the rolling demonic smoke boiling, and the man in brown robes piled up smiles, rising against the wind.

"Daoist Zhaojing!"

He called out enthusiastically, and Li Xieming recognized him, it was really True Person Luo from the Southern Border.

This demon finally didn't wear his thousand-eye demonic clothes, but changed into a quite regular brown suit. His face actually couldn't be considered very treacherous. With this demonic clothing gone, he instead had the appearance of a righteous sect, and laughed.

"Your clan has gained a lot in the grotto-heaven, congratulations!"

Li Xieming answered him with a smile:

"Not at all! Daoist Luo also has a new look!"

True Person Luo hadn't answered yet, and Dingyangzi, who was walking around the stove in the mountains with his hands behind his back, sneered and replied:

"He was beaten so badly in the grotto-heaven that he finally knows how to restrain himself... It's good, so as not to stain my Baiyang Mountain!"

Li Xieming had discovered more than once that True Person Luo came here, thinking that he must have a deep friendship with Dingyangzi, but True Person Luo had demonic conduct after all, so he always had to satirize a few words on his lips.

"Heh."

True Person Luo laughed, invited Li Xieming to sit down in front of the table, and replied:

"I just used a few hairy people, and those monkey-like things have good reasons? I make my own decisions, live comfortably, and that's enough. Those aliens, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing Dingyangzi sit down, True Person Luo sneered:

"Sometimes you give them too much face, and these hairy people think they are something. You are ruthless, and they are grateful instead. The Zhou descendants can spread all over the world, is it borrowed politely? It's killed out! Now it's good, using a few hairy people, and you still want to settle accounts with me."

Li Xieming estimated that he was beaten miserably by some Northern Di in the grotto-heaven and had his treasures snatched, so he was full of resentment, so he didn't answer him, just shook his head helplessly. Dingyangzi said:

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be able to enter this Qize."

Li Xieming swept a glance, finding that Dingyangzi's expression was much more desolate, as if he had a lot on his mind, and turned his head to look at him:

"Daoist Zhaojing has a good harvest, it seems it is for the spirit armor."

"Exactly!"

The refining of spirit artifacts takes a long time. Since Li Xieming already had the materials, he naturally didn't want to drag it out. At the moment, he took out jade boxes from his sleeves and lined them up on the table, introducing:

"This is two 【Red Light Li Amber】 and 【Jiang Sheng Stone】, one Li Fire, one Mingyang, which should be suitable."

Dingyangzi took them to look carefully and nodded silently. Only then did Li Xieming stand up and say solemnly:

"I heard that there is a 【Small Tianli Gold】 on Baiyang Mountain, which is an extremely precious spirit object. My family's spirit armor has already gathered many spirit resources, and it is just missing such a top-level spirit object that can be the master. Please mention your requirements, Daoist, and I will exchange for it."

Dingyangzi had expected this when he mentioned this spirit object years ago, and now he was not surprised. He stroked his beard slightly and said softly:

"This is also reasonable. Daoist, you once left three neck feathers here to exchange for spirit resources. I once used this object to demonstrate the Qusi Mountain orthodoxy. They have the intention to exchange, and with some of my own things, it is just right for me to exchange for the orthodoxy..."

He became serious slightly and replied:

"It's just... that 【No Blame Spirit Wood】, I want to exchange for other things from Daoist Qinghu, and I also need to use it... Are you willing, Daoist?"

Li Xieming understood secretly. For these years, his spirit resources had been exchanged here. How could Dingyangzi only look at the materials for his spirit armor? He must have already asked about what he needed, and it was actually already decided, just waiting for himself to speak.

This price was standard. After all, the 【No Blame Spirit Wood】 itself was quite large and had higher value. It was originally exchanged for two 【Neck Feathers】 years ago:

'Actually, it is my family's five spirit resources to exchange for 【Small Tianli Gold】!'

But the problem was that 【Small Tianli Gold】 was not a complete portion, it was the remainder of the sword immortal's sword ornament, so it was not very appropriate. Li Xieming hesitated slightly, and Dingyangzi had already taken out a golden box from his sleeve, replying:

"Daoist, you have been refining elixirs for me all these years without mentioning any remuneration. I have kept it in my heart, and naturally I will not be greedy for more from you. This 【Small Tianli Gold】 still has more than half a portion left... Daoist, give me another portion of spirit resources, and it can be considered as offsetting the artifact work."

Li Xieming's heart moved immediately, and he said happily:

"Good! Thank you, Daoist!"

Refining spirit artifacts by Dingyangzi was not simple. A slightly better spirit artifact would take this Zifu True Person a few years or even more than ten years of time, not to mention the various material costs and heart-god consumption in this process... It was definitely not something that could be taken down with one portion of spirit resources.

Now that the favors of the past had offset the debt, and there was a surplus after exchanging for 【Small Tianli Gold】, Li Xieming still felt that he owed a few favors, so he laughed:

"Daoist, if you need to refine spirit elixirs in the future, just send someone to the lake!"

Dingyangzi nodded with a smile, stood up decisively, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Then take 【Small Tianli Gold】, 【Tianxing Red Gold】, 【Jiang Sheng Stone】 as the two Li and one Yang masters, 【Six-Phase Spirit Stone】, 【Huakan Golden Essence】, 【Red Light Li Amber】 as the auxiliary, and assist with 【Moxuan Heaven Iron】, 【Mingzhu Gold】 and other things..."

He calculated slightly and said softly:

"It's a pity that almost all the spirit objects of the first level are 'Li Fire' objects, and the grade is not low. I am afraid this armor will achieve 'Li Fire', but it is only close to Mingyang."

Li Xieming frowned slightly, seeing True Person Luo shake his head:

"There is no other way. The Mingyang in the world is low, and the Li Fire is prosperous. If you collect spirit objects as usual, there will be far more Li Fire than Mingyang."

Li Xieming secretly calculated in his heart:

'It is not bad. Zhouwei already has a full set of Mingyang spirit artifacts. It is not easy for others to calculate if there is more Li Fire, and it is difficult to find gold and stones of the Mingyang type. Dragging it on will only be more troublesome...'

'As for this spirit resource given to him...'

Li Xieming still had two 【Neck Feathers】 in his hand, the quantity was already inferior to 【Red Light Li Amber】, and it was still the most suitable. Although the current 【Wall Sinking Water】 was getting less and less, it could almost scrape the entire Zhu Lu through Kuang Yu's Xinyu market. Every time it dragged on for two or three months, it could always be continued. No matter what, it could be obtained again.

But he didn't take it out immediately, but laughed:

"I will arrange it for you when I go back!"

One must know that the number of 【Neck Feathers】 given out by the Li family is increasing, and it has gradually attracted the attention of interested people. Chen Yin, who practices 'Fu Water', specifically asked. If he continues to be so generous, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

'Still have to find someone to ask, it is best to exchange for something else for him.'

"No rush."

This matter could be delivered after the spirit armor was refined. Dingyangzi seemed to understand very well, but hesitated again and again, his expression suddenly strange, and replied:

"But I forgot about True Person Minghuang... If he is willing to come to Qize and spray a mouthful of essence blood into this spirit fire, using heart-god resonance to set the position of the Bai Lin Armor... it might not be worse than a Mingyang spirit object..."

"Oh?"

Li Xieming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized:

"Wonderful..."

Zifu refining divine abilities already had a position early on. Usually, when casting spells, refining elixirs, or refining artifacts, they often rely on the position to succeed. Not to mention Li Zhouwei, who is recognized by the world as the Bai Lin!

He kept it in his heart and said happily:

"This is naturally excellent. I will just go back and ask. When you have needs, Daoist, just send a letter to my lake!"

Dingyangzi agreed. The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and True Person Luo finally had a chance to interrupt, saying:

"Daoist Zhaojing! I also saw True Person Minghuang in the grotto-heaven... but the harvest was not as good as his. I took some Kan Water, and I heard... I heard... a 'Gathering Wood' spirit artifact fell into his hands... I don't know..."

Li Xieming understood immediately. He must be talking about his own 【Biting Qingyuan Xuan Cauldron】, so he laughed:

"Indeed there is one, which is very important to my family. There may be a place for you to take action in the future... we can talk again."

He secretly rejected True Person Luo's intention to exchange, but did not let go of the news revealed in his words, and laughed:

"It seems that you have 'Kan Water' objects in your hands, Daoist!"

True Person Luo didn't expect him to be the guest instead of the host. He was startled at first and replied:

"Not bad..."

Li Xieming waved his hand and asked:

"Are there any spirit resources for me to exchange for one or two?"

True Person Luo saw that he was quite sincere, just raised his hand, took a box from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and replied:

"There is a 【Painting Water Sunflower Stone】, which can be considered rare."

Li Xieming nodded.

His family doesn't need 'Kan Water' objects, but they are useful for giving gifts. The Xiao family moved to Cangzhou in the North Sea. Li Xieming should have visited, but naturally he couldn't go empty-handed. He had a 【Cangzhou Snake Scale】 in his hand, but this 【Cangzhou Snake Scale】 was produced in Cangzhou, and it might be related to the Xiao family's current territory. It was somewhat embarrassing to spend a lot of money to buy a 【Wanling Flower】 as a gift when visiting the Li family.

This matter was delayed because of the Wanling Heaven matter. Now that Li Zhouwei had returned and the lake was safe, and most importantly, he was well-off, he went to see... Furthermore, he also hoped that the old True Person could point out the situation.

True Person Luo didn't know why he wanted this spirit object, but he was still very enthusiastic and just laughed:

"Daoist, just take it! I don't need it in my hands. Wait for you to get 'Gathering Wood' spirit resources to make up for me."

But he practiced the demonic Dao and was a demon after all. Li Xieming couldn't rest assured, so he gave the 【Gathering Wood】 spirit elixir obtained by his clan disciples from Nanxiang Hall to him, added two 【Nangong Xuansui Elixirs】, and promised to refine elixirs, which was considered taking the things back.

True Person Luo, however, was not interested in the wine, and laughed and asked him to introduce Si Yuanli.

After all, it was not a difficult matter. Li Xieming knew it well, nodded in agreement, didn't say much to the two, drove the light straight up, traveled through the Great Void, and finally felt relieved in his heart. He had finally handled the matter that was weighing on his heart, and secretly pondered:

''Finally settled. When the time comes, just go and take this spirit armor......''

But he drove the light all the way to the lake, frowned slightly, and actually felt a Zifu aura of the 'Right Wood' path!

"Hmm?"

Who else could this be? It must be Si Yuanli!

''I instructed a few juniors before I left, saying I would be back soon... It seems he is determined to wait for me here.''

So he rode the light down all the way, appeared in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, saw this True Person standing in the courtyard with patience. He looked calm, but sighed and sighed, his eyes revealing anxiety.

"Daoist Qinghu!"

Li Xieming laughed and appeared through the air. Si Yuanli was relieved, turned his head, and looked helpless:

"Daoist Zhaojing!"

Li Xieming led him up the mountain while laughing:

"What good harvest did you get in the grotto-heaven, Daoist? Finding me here, you must want to refine some good elixir!"

Mentioning the harvest in the grotto-heaven, Si Yuanli was speechless. The words that were originally piled up in his heart were blocked hard, and he sighed long and shook his head:

"What harvest or not... I thought it was a different world when I left seclusion, but I didn't expect Qingchi to be a mess! Where is this an immortal sect, where is this a Golden Core force..."

"What happened?"

Li Xieming seemed to remember something and asked solemnly, but saw Si Yuanli raise his eyebrows and laugh bitterly:

"Zhaojing! Yang Zhuo has rebelled! The Mushroom Forest Plain has rebelled!"

Li Xieming was stunned for a moment, and it took a moment to understand, and asked suspiciously:

"Ah?"

"Yang Zhuo?"

"Rebelled? Rebelled against whom?"

Si Yuanli sat down at the table with him, his expression carrying a sense of grievance, and sighed:

"Qingchi... He beheaded the Qingchi cultivators in the Mushroom Forest Plain market, listed their crimes, crossed the Mushroom Forest Plain, and has already reached the territory of Quanyu... He raised a banner, saying it was to eliminate demons and defend the Dao."

"Eliminate demons and defend the Dao..."

Li Xieming listened to it, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer—he didn't even know whether to say it was absurd or appropriate.

The current Qingchi is no longer what it used to be. The many turmoils in Jiangbei have torn off all the whitewashing fiercely. Ning Wan has even obtained a great crime. Even the Qingchi people themselves don't believe in the name of the Qingchi Immortal Sect, nailing the name of the Demonic Sect firmly to the mountain gate. To say eliminate demons and defend the Dao, there is no problem at all.

But a Foundation Establishment cultivator... pulled a few subordinates who were not even Foundation Establishment, and wanted to say subvert Qingchi... Which Yue country cultivator wouldn't laugh out loud when hearing it?

Even if his Qingchi is declining now, there is no problem in mobilizing thirty or forty Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if these thirty or forty Foundation Establishment cultivators fail to surround and kill, it is just a look from a Zifu.

But this thing just happened, even making two Zifu sit opposite each other in the mountains, silent and speechless for a while.

"His surname is Yang... Not only is his surname Yang, but he is even blessed by heaven..."

Li Xieming also felt a drum in his heart and reminded him. Si Yuanli just lowered his head in frustration and sighed:

"It must be the 'True Qi' of Tianwu added to his body!"

How could he, Si Yuanli, not know? If it weren't for the surname Yang, if it weren't for the 'True Qi' added to his body, just relying on his occupation of the Mushroom Forest Plain, Yang Zhuo and that group of mobs would have died more than thousands of times!

'Eliminate demons and defend the Dao... What a good eliminate demons and defend the Dao! Qingchi has today, whose fault is it? Today, they are eliminating demons and defending the Dao... Where were they during the demon disaster? Where were they during the North-South fighting? Where were they during the change of Zhuo Sha Ling...'

'If they really had the courage to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, why didn't they lift the position of Lu Shui! It is really a stinky plaque, usually thrown under the table to pad feet, but now that the birds are gone and the bow is hidden, it can be used when taken out!'

This True Person's expression gradually became cold, put the cup on the table, and gritted his teeth:

"These adults in the sky want to push Qingchi and Yue country... out to the Yang family! How can this be! This is an Immortal Sect! How can it reach this point!"

Li Xieming looked at him with lowered eyebrows, poured tea for him, and replied:

"So what? Isn't it always like this... You and I are Zifu, Zifu has the qualification to stand in line, has the qualification to be a pawn... The one who is waiting to be slaughtered today is the one who hasn't jumped off this ship of Qingchi."

"As for the Daoist... it may not be."

Si Yuanli raised his eyebrows to look at him, the anger and annoyance on his face suddenly dissipated, just nodding quietly. Li Xieming raised his eyebrows to look at him, his eyes bright, with a smile:

"The Si family doesn't have anyone in an important position. The dignified Qingchi is governed by a guest named Qin."

"If you were totally unprepared today, it would be looking down on me."
