Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1010 Xuanxiang
Zhijing Mountain.

The sky was shining, and a Taoist monk in platinum-colored robes was sitting in the middle, with white flowers rolling around. A middle-aged man in green robes was sitting opposite them, holding his cup in silence.

"Daoist Qinghu is friendly and has a leisurely mood."

Li Ximing sat in the main seat, looking at him with a smile on his face, sighing in his heart.

'Unlike the way he left Wangyue in a hurry a few days ago, he is now calm and composed. I guess he has gone to the underworld.'

Li Zhouwei had just set out from Wangyue Lake, and within an hour, Si Yuanli arrived here. It was a coincidence, so Li Ximing naturally waited for him to speak.

Si Yuanli looked at him with a smile, and was obviously in a good mood, but he laughed at himself:
"Zhao Jing is too polite. I am not so leisurely and elegant. I don't even have a mountain gate now. I have nowhere to go, so I had to take a walk on the lake..."

This made Li Ximing put down his cup and said with a smile:

"The mountain gate... why should I worry about the mountain gate? Fellow Taoist, you are very capable."

Si Yuanli's mountain gate has always been Qingchi Sect, where else could it be? Now that he said that he no longer had a mountain gate, he was actually hinting that he had joined the Yang family and didn't need to enter the Lukui Pond!

This was obviously a happy event, and Li Ximing's teasing was exactly what he was thinking. Si Yuanli immediately stroked his beard and smiled, and replied:
"Thank you for your kind words... As for my ability..."

He sighed and replied:

"This is not a skill, it is the legacy of our ancestors, every peck and every drink has already been determined."

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows and said:

"How is Fellow Daoist Ning?"

When Ning Wan was mentioned, Si Yuanli showed a hint of surprise and replied:

"She also has a way out. Senior Element has made arrangements. Although it may not save her life, if she can survive until the day when the new dynasty is established, she will be out of danger immediately..."

Although Li Ximing was a little surprised, he was relieved. Si Yuanli changed the subject and said with a smile:

"I met Xun Hui a few days ago and asked about his recent situation. Now that Jiangnan is gradually pacifying, he wants to return to Yue to serve. I wonder... how will Que Yi arrange it?"

This is a matter of course. The Si family is losing its talents. Although Si Tongyi is capable of handling things, his talent is not high enough. The only powerful person is Si Xunhui. Not only does he come from a noble family, but his master's wife is from the Yang family. Naturally, there is no reason for him not to come back.

But the Li family is quite different. At least Li Ximing has a good relationship with Kuang Yu now, and is interested in getting close to the Zifu circle in the Southeast Sea. The status of the Li family is also different from that of the Si family. Naturally, they have no intention of calling her back, so they sighed:
"Xun Hui is a child with great fortune, so it's good for him to come back. However, Que Yi is highly valued by Kuang Yu, and she has nowhere to stay after returning. As elders, we should not make things difficult for her."

Si Yuanli understood:
"Don't embarrass her, actually, don't embarrass you, Zhao Jing."

So he nodded:

"Although they have to live separately, it is best for them to develop on their own. The Yang family has spread their favors widely, and they especially value the two seas in the southeast. There will be opportunities for them to keep in touch in the future."

"Oh?"

Li Ximing smiled and said:
"How do you value it?"

Si Yuanli paused, and thought about it in his mind. He felt that it was not a secret, so he shook his head and said:

"It is in Shitang... Qingchi still has a glimmer of hope, but it has been delayed until now and is not allowed to close the sect. It is in Shitang, waiting for Taoist Zhusheng to settle the matter. There must be changes in the South Sea."

When he mentioned the Zhenren Zhusheng from the South China Sea, Li Ximing's mind suddenly became clear - during the dispute over Zhuoshaling, Zhenren Suiguan had specially asked Ning Wan to trick him to Jiangbei and was deeply involved in the matter... As long as the underworld can capture this fighting force, the matter of Shitang will be easy to deal with!
Li Ximing nodded as usual, but Si Yuanli felt relieved:
"I had no choice but to make a decisive move and settle the matter of the Honor Society early. Now I am much calmer. Once the news of Simin County comes out, Chen Yin will definitely come to try to establish a relationship with him."

'And the Li family has always been very careful about their bloodline, so they obviously kept Li Quewan. If they want to choose an important person in the Li family, they might choose Mingyang's son to marry their daughter... That would give him a headache!'

Although Li Zhouwei is powerful, his future is uncertain. Marrying his daughter to Mingyang's son may not be a good thing. Thinking of this, Si Yuanli was secretly satisfied and said with a smile:
"A new dynasty is about to be established, and there should be a political situation... This dynasty must be based on true Qi... The true Qi path has the effect of improving cultivation and promoting supernatural powers. If I can get one or two official positions for the younger generation, it will probably be of great benefit to their cultivation!"

"Daoyou...how do you think?"

Li Ximing naturally understood what he meant, but although he was interested, he was not too enthusiastic:

"The core descendants of my family all have talisman seeds. First, there is no need to send them to the court. Second, we don't know what the consequences will be. At most, three or five talented children who don't have talismans will enter the Four Mins and try their luck."

He refused to speak, but just smiled and replied:

"Each of us has our own situation. We are originally one family. If all the Purple Mansions are in harmony, there won't be any major disputes."

Si Yuanli shook his head and sighed:
"That's hard to say. We are all in harmony now, but what about the future? The Purple Mansion is harmonious, so it's not too much for the younger generation to fight for their own interests..."

"It's all my fault that my clansmen were not up to the task. They sent so many children in, but in the end, there was still only Tongyi who relied on his relationship with the Immortal Sect to help in the mountain... He is not as good as you... But if you need help in the future, I will ask you to help..."

Li Ximing did not want to get involved in his Si family's affairs. Li Zhouwei had not returned yet, and he could not figure out his family's position in the new dynasty. He just shook his head and sighed, and replied:
"It's hard to say... Jiangliang doesn't care about his family. Daoist friend, look at the current situation, who else can he dare to side with... He was the only one who went to my house, and he didn't bring much help, so he can't speak now."

"Moreover..."

He smiled and asked:

"His subordinates are all Daoist friends' men!"

Si Yuanli smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject:

"I came here this time... I have something to ask you fellow Taoists..."

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows and listened to Si Yuanli's smile:
"My elders have an old friend named Ping Yan, who is practicing in Yinzhou. Recently, I received a request or two. I heard that it was the masters of the Lotus Temple who asked me to help in exchange for the treasures of the nobles."

Li Ximing was a little surprised, and felt a little happy in his heart, and asked:

“But Master Minghui?”

Minghui is a person who changes his face as quickly as turning the pages of a book. The Lotus Temple is also the one that has the most serious collusion with immortal cultivators. He has acted as a matchmaker in several colludiations between immortals and Buddhists. Li Ximing had met him once, and it was in exchange for a number of Buddhist weapons seized from the Li family!
But later, the conflict between the North and the South became more and more intense, and the Chengyun Sect, the only sect that had a connection with Minghui, was placed in the hinterland of the north and lost contact from then on. Unexpectedly, this monk still had some skills and found his way back to Si Yuanli.

Sure enough, Si Yuanli nodded and smiled:

"Exactly! I'm sure you've already anticipated this!"

Li Ximing nodded slightly, but his expression became intriguing, and asked:
"I heard that Yinzhou is the heartland of the dragon clan. Immortal Pingyan must also have a close relationship with the dragon clan. How could he be connected to Shi Xiu?"

The relationship between the dragons and Luoxia is tense, and their relationship with the Seven Phases is not very good either. The Buddhists often convert monsters, and therefore often offend the dragons. What's worse, some of them covet the descendants of the Monster Emperor...which makes the dragons even more disgusted.

Si Yuanli was not surprised by Li Ximing's question and said with a smile:

"It's true that the dragon is domineering, but it also needs someone to mediate. Some things can't be done by being domineering, but can be done by being tactful. Master Ping Yan has been practicing in Yinzhou, making friends widely and having connections with all the sects."

He showed some emotion and even envy:
"Thanks to the dragon's might, this senior has made a fortune..."

Li Ximing understood it in his heart, but he didn't trust Shi Xiu after all. He paused for a moment, frowned and said:
"What does this mercy mention?"

Si Yuanli said quickly:

"I can't explain it clearly... Now it's not easy for me to be the person in the middle. I just want to pass on this message. I heard that Master Minghuang has a friendship with a certain dragon son. It shouldn't be difficult to find someone to arrange this matter!"

His concerns were not without reason. Li Ximing answered, and then Si Yuanli smiled, took out a jade box from his sleeve, put it down gently, and said:
"I heard that you have a piece of [Shengyu Stone]?"

Li Ximing nodded.

When Wanlingtian appeared, some of the Li family members entered and obtained a lot of treasures. Apart from a few medicinal pills, they also obtained the fire-generating Xinweisha and the igniting Shengyushi.

Si Yuanli then smiled and said:

"'Fire' can calm the dampness and remove the rain, and purify the wood energy. I want to cultivate a magical power, which is 'traveling with my back to the south'. 'Fire' can calm the dampness and remove the rain, which is very beneficial. The master of Tongxinqiao is in the north, which is of great benefit. I would like to ask for your [Shengyu Stone] for use."

There are not many traces of "灴火". Si Yuanli is indeed a family scholar and knows a lot about it. Li Ximing nodded secretly:
"It is the extreme, the 'fire' is in the north, and the combination is in the south. The Taoist friend has deeply understood the wonders of the Taoist calculations."

Si Yuanli laughed, pushed the jade box forward, and said with a smile:
"The [Ming Zhen He Shen Dan] that Daoyou mentioned last time!"

Li Ximing's eyes lit up, and he took it casually. As expected, he saw the magic inside, guiding the supernatural power, and the wonder of the true qi radiating. He smiled and said:

"Isn't that unfair to fellow Taoists?"

[Mingzhen Heshen Pill] and [Nangong Xuannai Pill] are both elixirs of the ancient Four Secret Daoist traditions that are famous all over the world. However, the former is for increasing supernatural powers and has a higher value. Si Yuanli was reluctant and replied:
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist."

So he took the [Shengyu Stone] from Li Ximing, looked at it with satisfaction for a while, took a sip of tea, and prepared to get up and say goodbye, saying:

"That matter about the incense..."

"Oh!"

Li Zhouwei had obtained eight golden-patterned incense sticks from the cave, but he didn't know what they were used for. Li Xi had asked Si Yuanli to find out for sure. Now that he had gotten the news, he naturally looked up with great interest and listened to Si Yuanli's smile:
"I asked around for you, but in the end, only Peacock Sea had the news! You also have a copy of that thing, which is slightly different from yours. It's the [Four Secret Platform Mysterious Incense]."

He said seriously:

"The Dou Xuan sect calls itself Si Tian, ​​and they often offer incense and sacrifice. Although this kind of thing is not widely circulated, there are still traces. Yours should have his own name in the Dou Xuan sect, but the root is the same, it is a mysterious incense condensed by incense."

"Incense condenses?"

Li Ximing immediately felt a little confused, but he looked thoughtful and sighed:
"Nowadays, incense is not popular, and the way of sacrifice is abandoned. It is just a ritual to mourn the ancestors. Is it still useful?"

"Have!"

Si Yuanli said firmly:
"Ordinary people will definitely not be able to use it, but fellow Taoists, don't forget the north. Don't underestimate this thing because it is a treasure in the eyes of monks. It is priceless and cannot be exchanged for spiritual resources!"

Li Ximing nodded, and Si Yuanli smiled and said:
"Also... some ancient incense burners, or some lost secret methods, or one or two Daoist sects... they can all be used with this thing. The more of them are found in the same place, the better. If there are enough, taking 100 or 200 of them can also be used to bribe the ghost."

He smiled with some inexplicable meaning:
"The matter of the dead has always been something that cannot be neglected, but it is not impossible to neglect it."

The death and rebirth he mentioned was naturally the underworld.

It is difficult for a cultivator to reincarnate, but theoretically, if this person has perfect supernatural powers, all five methods, and the ability to condense gold, the threshold for reincarnation will be lowered a lot. The most important thing to consider is the underworld - after all, it will damage their interests.

Jiang Boqing, who had been tossing around in Yue State in the past, was a man of extremely high Taoism. He bribed the underworld and lived freely in Yue State for a while, but was executed because of his connection with the Immortal Book.

"Incense..."

Li Ximing thought about it, stood up to see him out, and said with a smile:
"What do you mean one or two hundred? Even if you empty Wanlingtian, you still can't get a hundred, not to mention a set..."

Si Yuanli knew Wan Lingtian quite well, and nodded as a matter of course:
'Each sacrificial site has a maximum of eight, and there will be a lot of losses in the chaos of battle... If you have two or three... you can exchange them if you have the chance.'

Li Ximing escorted him all the way out and back to the mountain. He then opened the jade box again and looked at it. Seeing the box full of true energy and colorful lights, he was somewhat moved:
"There aren't many elixirs that can achieve supernatural powers. It's a pity that I gave it to someone from the South Sea. Otherwise, with this elixir, I would have a good chance of achieving 'Bright World'!"

His first attempt to nominate "Tianxia Ming" failed, but fortunately the Li family's spending on improving his magical powers was extravagant, and the supply of elixirs was sufficient every year. Now he has cultivated the foundation of immortality and is waiting to be gradually perfected.

"There is also a 'Superior Witch' spirit embryo, which is also more than ten years old. More importantly, it is the spirit armor. I will ask about it right away."

Refining the spirit embryo is a troublesome matter, and it is common to take ten to twenty years. The Li family has the Guanxie refining method, which is lavish and quick, so they immediately sent people up to Qi Ze.

He fell back to his seat and practiced with his eyes slightly closed. After just a moment, there was a flash of light, which gathered on the mountain, revealing the young man with golden eyes.

"Ming Huang!"

Li Ximing was so eager that he came down quickly and asked:
"How is it?"

Li Zhouwei smiled at him and said soothingly:
"It's not that bad...don't worry, uncle!"

With his words, Li Ximing immediately felt relieved. He pulled him to sit down at the table and sighed:
"Si Yuanli came to see me a long time ago, and he was trying to make a veiled statement, asking my family to promise to help him... I think... the Yang family has given a reward, so my family should be more generous..."

Li Zhouwei nodded:
"Be crowned king."

There seemed to be a gloomy thought in his eyes. He talked about Yang's words in detail, but left out a lot of them. He went to the island with Li Ximing and sighed softly:
"Senior Tian Ya admires the old ancestor very much, and feels that getting three out of four is very rare!"
