第1025章 山威（1+1/2）（小指勾尚白银盟加更10/10）

'Shan Qing... Shan Qing...'

Li Zhouwei's expression changed subtly. Looking at the old man in front of him who lowered his brows and remained silent, he asked:

"Is he really missing? How could such a person, with perfect supernatural powers, suddenly disappear? If there is a matter of proving his position, the world will know about the changes in heaven and earth."

His words carried a hint of probing. Cui Changfu sat there for a few seconds, then left the table and closed the hall. He returned to the steps, a little hesitant, and answered:

"Your Excellency is right. Ancient books have mentioned that the gold exchange certificate cannot be obtained: [Autumn and winter should come early, soldiers should move, merchants will gather, and the world will be happy] - but if it is proved, who can remember it? Those who openly announce it to the world and let the world write it down... must have a sincere and respectful heart. There are not many such people..."

Obviously, even if there is no record of a certain person achieving enlightenment in ancient books, his words imply that this Taoist Shanqing has already retired after achieving his goal!

"'Exchange for gold'!"

Li Zhouwei was silent for a moment.

Duijin is not an unknown sect. The famous Jinyu, the immortal sect that controls the Yue Kingdom, is the orthodox sect of Duijin, called the Jinyi Daotong! The True Lord of the Jinyu Sect appeared in the world and has always been called the master of the Duijin fruit position!

'If this mysterious national teacher had achieved enlightenment, and if there had not been the leap year incident, he would most likely have been a figure on the gold scale!'

He keenly perceived what the old man in front of him meant:
'Tai Yuan Zhen Jun of Jin Yu Zong... is also Ming Yang's enemy... and cannot be trusted. If Li Qian Yuan were to be resurrected, he would probably be the first to jump out and stop it!'

It was hard to say whether this news was accurate or not. At least, it was still one-sided from the Cui family. Li Zhouwei realized that the other party still had many secrets that they were reluctant to tell. He became serious and asked frankly for the first time:

"I have a question, is Wei Li... a descendant of Dou Xuan Dao?"

Although he already had a lot of evidence in his mind, he still wanted to ask this question to get a clear answer. The old man stared at him for a long time and replied:

"Wei Li is to Dou Xuan what Daning is to Dou Xuan. If Your Highness must have an answer... then it is - yes!"

Li Zhouwei looked at him and suddenly asked:

"I'd like to hear...some ancient news about exchanging gold."

Cui Changfu shook his head quickly. He knew what he wanted to hear, but he replied:

"I dare not say anything about the gold. I have only heard some stories about Jin De... Your Highness, do you know the [Thunder Cloud Method]?"

How could Li Zhouwei not know? When it comes to being familiar with the [Thunderbolt Cloud Method], there are even few people in the country who can compare to his family! His elders became spirits because of this method, and they have not been able to step out of the sea until now!
He nodded quietly, and Cui Changfu said quietly:
"The Mysterious Thunder is located in the North Sea, often called the [Northern Palace Divine Thunder], but few people know about the other three seas... In fact, in order to suppress the devil cultivators, the Thunder Palace laid out thunder paths in all four seas."

"However, after the destruction of the Thunder Palace, the vitality of the Black Thunder Sect was greatly damaged. Most of these sects became dependent on other Douxuan Sects. Among them, the East Sea Sect was second only to the North Sea. The first disciple of the [Yanyang Temple Palace] went into the sea to guard it and rebuild the order, which was the [Thunder Boyun Sect]. The [Motong Palace] of the Milin Sect appeared in the world and stepped into the South Sea to integrate the Thunder Sect, still named [Motong Palace]... Only the West Sea Thunder Sect was weak to begin with. When the North Sea collapsed, it was destroyed on the same day and no trace of it remained."

Cui Changfu hesitated and replied:
"Behind this [Thunderbolt Cloud Method], there is also a great man... His honorable title is [Xu Fangtingming Tianting Venerable], he is the last Venerable to ascend to the throne of thunder, ordered to guard the East China Sea, acted in a low profile, and lived until the era when the suns sought the throne..."

"It is because of his protection that we are able to keep the last piece of Xuan Lei's Dao lineage."

Li Zhouwei listened carefully. Cui Changfu changed the subject and whispered:
"But when Daliang was destroyed, the world was in chaos. My father's Qi family rose up in the north and succeeded in repairing Yue... Liang destroyed Zhaoxing and the world was pacified. But this lord suddenly disappeared. The Leiyun Temple where [Thunder Cloud Law] was based, which was the Leiyun Divine Island at that time, sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared."

"In the same year, the [Motong Palace] ascended in broad daylight, and the eighteen islands in the South China Sea rose from the ground. The last rays of the sun in the world of Thunder Dao were almost gone."

Cui Changfu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Zhouwei, saying:

"From this moment on, this gold object will begin to dispel the remaining thunder."

"So... the residual electricity fell into gold from this time..."

Li Zhouwei understood clearly:

'It is very likely that this True Lord Duijin did this... He was the one who pushed the rise and fall of Emperor Qi, and he was also the one who eliminated the remaining power.'
You have to know that when Zhang Duanyan came to the Li family to issue the immortal decree, he clearly called Luoxia the superior, clarifying the superior-subordinate relationship between Luoxia and Jinyu... and considering that this Zhang Zhenjun was a well-versed person, this matter was very clear.

"The reason why Taoist Shanqing can drive the people like cattle and sheep is that he is most likely behind the scenes with the Sheji Dao who is against the Lei Palace. Whether it is an alliance or a transaction, perhaps it is because he borrowed the power of Sheji in this great change, and the matter of the residual lightning became his reward..."

'But if that's the case, why don't you see the way of the country? '

He pondered for a long time and asked:

"[Motong Palace], does it have any descendants? They ascended to heaven in broad daylight, which seems like a sign of great success for all the people around them, not a tragic end."

Seeing that he was asking more and more questions, Cui Changfu gradually became anxious. Fortunately, this place was under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Clan, and the relationship with Lei Gong and Luo Xia was not good. This matter could be brought up. He did not dare not answer him, so he spoke, gritting his teeth:
"[Motong Palace]... Its owner is extremely magical. He was once the first Taoist disciple of the Nanxiang Taoist school. At that time, the four secret schools of Nanxiang had already declined. He was known as the immortal talent who revived Nanxiang..."

“But when this Taoist sect arrived in the South Sea, it had already officially derailed from the dense forest… It no longer followed Dou Xuan, and achieved enlightenment through the Dao of ‘Sui Qi’, ‘Shang Wu’, and ‘Shen Kui’… Immortals and Buddhists were mixed together, and they called themselves the Mo Dao Dao Sect.”

"Another mixture of immortals and monks?"

Li Zhouwei frowned and asked.

This is not the first time. Legend has it that the owner of [Yanyang Temple Palace] died due to the integration of immortals and Buddhism. [Cele Boyun Fadao] was also known as Leiyun Temple. As a result, the current [Motong Palace] is also the integration of immortals and Buddhism. This has happened several times in a row. I am afraid that it cannot be explained by a simple reason.

When asked by Li Zhouwei, Cui Changfu looked a little gloomy and replied:

"This matter... is difficult to say. If we trace it back to ancient times, we don't know why, but at least two of the three famous Douxuan sects in the world are not clearly distinguished from Buddhist cultivation. Only the Beigong Lei sect has a clear boundary."

Cui Changfu was sad:
"From the perspective of us younger generations, we think it's not a good thing. It's OK that the 'Hua Qi' was taken away by Su Xikong. The 'Shen Kui' back then was also from the Dou Xuan Dao lineage. Later, it was passed around and finally fell into the hands of Shi Xiu..."

He paused for a moment, then asked belatedly:
"Your Highness, do you know about 'Shen Kui'? Nowadays, there are not many Taoist sects in the world who know about it..."

Li Zhouwei naturally knew the lineage of Emperor Zhao and nodded to signal him to continue. Cui Changfu immediately apologized and replied:

"[Motongji Palace] actually has some relics... More than 50% of the Daoist schools in Nanhai are inherited from them... For example, [Nan Shun Luo Ji], [Da Han Hai Temple]... The Nanhai Daoist school is unique and originated from this."

These are all familiar names. Li Zhouwei was certain in his heart, listening to Cui Changfu grit his teeth and say:

"There are some things I didn't dare to say in the past, but now it's okay. Let me say something that may offend you... My family also has some history, sir... Your Highness, do you know the Miao family of [Tinglei Island]? His family has an ancestor, Miao Dushan, who is rumored to be a genius who combined the way of thunder and the way of magic."

Li Zhouwei paused, and Cui Changfu sneered:

"I heard rumors that Miao Dushan is not a powerful figure. There are many geniuses in the world, but there is definitely no genius to this extent! How can someone so young combine the way of thunder and the way of magic that are incompatible with each other? If he really has such a skill, he would have sat on the golden throne by now, and we would all call him sir. How could he repeatedly run into obstacles in the country?!"

"It's been rumored among our families that he got some secret method and gained inspiration from it. He has some genius, but it's definitely not to the point of subverting common sense."

Li Zhouwei narrowed his eyes and said:

"You mean... he inherited the profound teachings of the Motong Palace, but he didn't dare to pass it on to others, so he used it as a basis to write the Thunder Island Method?"

Cui Changfu groaned in silence, which was considered as his agreement.

Be it the scandals at [Motong Palace] or [Tinglei Island], there is nothing wrong with discussing them separately, but once they are linked together... the implications are extraordinary!
If Miao Dushan really got the ancient inheritance and was inspired by it to get the method of thunder magic cultivation, and this ancient inheritance was passed down by [Motongji Palace]... What does it mean? Inheritance is never aimless. [Motongji Palace] Daozi is obviously from Douxuan, and he made a clear distinction between him and Douxuan and ascended to heaven in broad daylight, becoming a true lord... I'm afraid it echoes with this method of thunder magic cultivation!
Li Zhouwei was shocked:
'I'm afraid that this former Daoist... not to mention surrendering to Tongxuan, at least betrayed the Thunder Palace, and used whatever means to achieve enlightenment, and thus walked a completely contradictory path in the magnificent power of heaven... From then on, there was a method of practicing magic in the Thunder Dao, and the Miao family and Miao Dushan were just practicing along this path that could be followed!'

Cui Changfu in front of him lowered his head and said nothing, but Li Zhouwei understood what he wanted to express.

"This person is suspected to be one with Tongxuan, which means... the real Luoxia force is very likely to reach from the sea to the South China Sea... there is another Jindan-level force..."

'Tongxuan's power is so amazing... No wonder the dragon clan is so overbearing. Their control over the South China Sea is not as fair as that over the East China Sea. Some of them are even in name only... No wonder the dragon clan treats the nobles like slaves, uses their magical powers as their pawns, and can only live in the East China Sea!'

"The Cui family's fear...is reflected here."

He remained silent for a long time, and Cui Changfu in front of him whispered:

"My family is not clear about what happened later. After all, the Purple Mansions were destroyed one after another, and we are no longer qualified to know the news from higher levels."

Li Zhouwei nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked:
"It has not been easy for the Cui family over the years. This time I came here not to ask about spiritual objects or resources. First, I came to ask about the origin, and second, to exchange for the noble skills."

Cui Changfu was obviously mentally prepared. He nodded silently and replied:

"The family heritage, passed down to Wei Li and Dong Li, was originally something taken from the palace and the army. It has been returned to its original owner. It cannot be considered as our own, and we dare not exchange it."

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes glanced at him and replied:

"I won't treat you unfairly, just take it."

"Moreover."

A smile appeared on his face, his golden eyes seemed to be shining, and the temperament of his face suddenly changed from fierce to majestic:

"Your family won't accept a penny, and we're worried about following in the footsteps of those who came before us."

No matter how respectful Cui Changfu was, he could not avoid this kind of worry. When Li Zhouwei brought it up, he was speechless. He wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, no answer came out.

Li Zhouwei was born under the fate of Mingyang, but he repeatedly emphasized the terribleness of Tongxuan, which reflected his inner fear of Luoxia. Li Zhouwei's words hit his weak spot:

"I will really do my best to help him. On the day he dies, when the mountain starts to fight, is there any dragon king in my family who can protect him? Is there any adult who can protect him?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if Shan Shang doesn't care, he really did shake Ming Yang, so shouldn't the Dragon Clan care?"

In Cui Changfu's opinion, Li Zhouwei's move was undoubtedly giving his family a chance to survive. He clearly had the urge to refuse, but he couldn't say it out loud. He could only turn around and say sadly:
"Jueyin, go get all the things for the adults."

Cui Changfu was a brilliant choice. Cui Jueyin was considered half a member of the Li family, and he was not given any instructions in advance. He was invited to leave at once, which meant that he wanted to take out all the things in the clan to show that he had nothing hidden.

Cui Jueyin listened to the whole thing, his expression looked calm, and he left the hall. Cui Changfu stood up from the hall, bowed deeply, and said with a sob:
"Thank you...sir!"

"Sit down, so you don't have to bow so much."

Li Zhouwei waved his hand and looked at him quietly:
"I have never blamed your Cui family. Being in Chongzhou, the fate of millions of clansmen is not decided by one person. I have also seen Master Yangya in the cave. Now that you have achieved success, Chongzhou also has a master, so you don't have to be restricted by him."

"Your Highness!"

Cui Changfu didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Cui Jueyin arrived quickly, bowed in front of the steps, and presented three shiny jade slips and a stone talisman in his hands.

Cui Changfu turned around hurriedly, holding his sleeve with one hand and raising the other hand horizontally, showing an extremely humble attitude, and introduced:
"This [Shang Ye Jade Talisman] is the key to the inheritance of my Chongzhou Cui family. It records the "Shang Fu Ming Ye Sutra" and is also the most precious treasure of my family. It is of the fifth grade and has three secret methods... to achieve the "Heavenly Gate"! It was passed down by the Immortal Palace back then."

"That is why this talisman is made of extremely high quality. It is made of Purple Palace Spiritual Resources [Su Ti Gem Jade], and is a high-quality foundation-building magic tool that is incorruptible and has a restrained divine light. If one day the clan is annihilated, the younger generation can carry it out, and it will not attract peeks because of the precious treasure, and thus be lost..."

Li Zhouwei took a quick look, but was somewhat skeptical about its purpose. He shook his head and replied:

"Your family's inheritance is biased... This is not an ordinary foundation-building magic weapon. This is a spiritual embryo that has degenerated. You have become a supernatural power. It would be best if you have a secret method to refine it. If not, you can spend thirty to fifty years to refine it and use it as a protective treasure."

Cui Changfu was shocked. He had never thought that his treasure could have such a function. He was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He took the thing in his hand and said respectfully:
"I would like to present this to His Majesty!"

Li Zhouwei just shook his head. If Li Ximing didn't have [Shichuan], this thing would be suitable for his family. Now it is purely useless. He just pushed it aside and read "Shangfu Mingye Jing".

"It is indeed "Ye Tian Men", but it is different from my own "Ye Tian Men"... It lacks some of the majesty of the emperor, and compared to "Jin Dian Huang Yuan Jue", it lacks the killing power of the border, and has more of the immortal style of cultivation in the immortal palace..."

"As for this secret method..."

Li Zhouwei frowned as he watched, and sighed inwardly, but he felt a little more satisfied:

"Anyway, these are three secret methods. Keep them at home for a little practice to read and decorate with. That's enough."

This thing can be given to the younger generation for verification. In the future, some younger generations with suitable temperaments will be more suitable for practicing this technique. Li Zhouwei casually threw the jade talisman back into his hand, and Cui Changfu immediately pointed to another jade slip and said:
"This is the fourth-grade 'Treasure Scripture of the Body Guarding Tiger Pass'."

Cui Jueyin immediately raised his eyebrows:
"Master Zhao Jing has already used it and exchanged it for a favor from my clan!"

Cui Changfu was slightly stunned, nodded, moved his hand away, and continued:
"The remaining two... one is the Mingyuan Guanli Sutra left by Master Yangya when he returned to the island last time. Master Yangya exchanged it from other cultivators. It comes from Donghuo Dongtian... but... it is the Changming Stage, not the Emperor Guanyuan."

Li Zhouwei took it calmly and glanced at it:
"What a coincidence. I also have one, but it's only at the foundation-building level. It was sent to me by Xuanyue Sect back then... It was obtained by Donghuo Dongtian."

He raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems that Yang Ya didn't beat you up for nothing. After all, he left something behind... It seems that he doesn't want to rely on your favors anymore!"

"Yes Yes…"

Although this was straightforward, it was very accurate. Cui Changfu was very embarrassed. He glanced at Li Zhouwei's face and continued to introduce the technique:

"The various paths of Mingyang, whether of low or high rank, ultimately share the same origin. It's nothing more than slightly different magical powers, with some having higher powers and some having lower powers. But the only difference is the 'Emperor Guan Yuan'. The 'Eternal Bright Stage' was evolved by many sages based on the 'Congratulations on the Completion of the Taishi Ceremony in the Northern Land' written by the Supreme Lord Shangyao. So the roots are different."

Li Zhouwei was very familiar with this. The first "Tingzhongwei" he got was also like this. They seemed to be of the same origin, but in fact they were not only completely different, but also had the ability to control the subordinates:
"I see. Perhaps 'Ting Zhong Wei' is also derived from some of the magic books of the original owner of 'Yu Zhen'..."

Cui Changfu took a step forward:
"This last one is a secret method of my family, called [Sleeve Residence Evolution and Perfection Technique]. It is the technique of the Immortal Mansion, which was left by the predecessor who piloted the treasure ship back then. It was originally a technique that he borrowed from someone nearby. When something went wrong in the country, he returned without hesitation. He was afraid that the technique would be lost, so he left it to the predecessor..."

Li Zhouwei finally became interested, held the item in his hand, and read it carefully:
"Ok?"

He murmured:

"【Sode Residence Technique】?"

"Exactly!"

Cui Changfu showed some envy on his face and replied:

"This is an ancient cultivation technique, and it is also the way of the immortals practiced by those who [cultivate the mind and cultivate the nature]. You can cultivate a palace in your sleeves to store treasures, so you don't need to bring a storage bag. If you have a high level of cultivation, you can open your sleeves and take in some living things."

"This technique also describes that if one cultivates to the level of the person who wrote this technique, other people's techniques, magic lights, and even spiritual fire and water can all be collected with a single wave of the sleeve!"

Li Zhouwei began to read with some amazement, but he read for more than ten breaths and still couldn't reach the end:
'It's the same as those Qi-obeying cultivation methods... It's so difficult and amazing that I'm afraid that even an ordinary Purple Palace can't read it through. If you want to practice it to perfection... Even a great immortal can't help it!'

'But the value of this technique is extremely high. It is of the same type as the [Void Walking Technique] of those high-ranking cultivators in the northern caves. It is something that can only be encountered but not sought after. It has a price but is not in demand!'

However, since he had the aura of the talisman, Li Zhouwei was not afraid of the difficulty of this technique. He spent some time memorizing it, and then nodded and said:
"I didn't deceive you to get to the Purple Palace. This is a rare and good thing."

Cui Changfu hurriedly said:
"Your Highness is wrong. Even if this thing is kept in my family for a hundred or two hundred years, no one will be able to master it. There are so many Purple Mansion ancestors in my family, but none of them have mastered it! Since it cannot be used, it is not a good thing!"

"Although what you said makes sense, it cannot erase its own value."

Li Zhouwei shook his head and replied:

"My family had just ascended to the Purple Mansion, and my uncle was short of money, so he owed me a favor. I'm sure your family can't use it and dares not use it, so let's not leave it here."

He gently turned his hand, took out a jade box from his sleeve, put it in Cui Changfu's hand, and motioned him to open it.

Cui Changfu opened the jade box with some hesitation, and felt a burst of bright sun energy rushing towards him. In the white brocade cushion were three miraculous elixirs covered with scales, shining brightly and rushing straight into his eyes!

"Purple Palace Elixir! The Purple Palace Elixir of Mingyang Yidao!"

Cui Changfu really didn't know the value of this thing, but Li Ximing's alchemy skills were superb, and the miraculous fluctuations made him envious. He was surprised and happy, a little panicked, and hurriedly said:
"It's absolutely impossible!"

"No need to say more!"

Li Zhouwei waved his hand, took out the jade box from his sleeve, and said seriously:
"My great-uncle's favor is more than worth three elixirs. I only have one request. One of these three elixirs must be given to Jue Yin to use in his Purple Palace attack."

Cui Changfu's expression became serious, he raised his hand to salute, and said solemnly:
"To be honest, Jueyin is the one in my family who has the greatest hope of making a breakthrough. Even if Your Highness doesn't mention it, I will definitely keep two of these three pills for the younger generation, and one of them is for Jueyin!"

Li Zhouwei nodded and handed the jade box over:
"Here is another technique called 'Tianxu Zhenjin Jing', the 'Genjin' technique, also of the fifth rank. Gathering Qi is a little more troublesome for you, you need to find a famous mountain gold mine... but it is already the simplest one, and you can find it by looking for a few large islands... Practicing more other sects can also be considered as more options."

Li Zhouwei has quite a few Zifu skills in his hands, but either they are inconvenient to take out and have to be exchanged from others, or they are difficult to gather energy from, and even the Li family themselves find it difficult to gather it. Only this one was originally obtained from him, and it is convenient to gather energy from, and it has been obtained by many families. There are not many secrets in it, so it happened to be handed to him!
A purple palace technique that is easy to gather energy is enough to become a sect's treasure! Moreover, the grade is not low, which can make up for the shortcomings of the family. Cui Changfu was shocked and ecstatic. He couldn't help but reach out to take it, and took it in his hand like a treasure. However, Li Zhouwei did not stop, and took out a brilliant jade talisman:

"This is the [Dushan Pointing Spirit Talisman], a spiritual weapon of the 'Duwei'! It should be in Mingchuan Dazhou, and it is also suitable for your Chongzhou. It can be used to counter the 'Xiu Di Evolution Zhi Zhen Shu' and 'Ming Yuan Guan Li Jing' in your family."

As he finished speaking, mysterious patterns on the talisman began to light up in response, illuminating the old man's face.

"Spiritual weapon?!"

"This is the spiritual weapon!"

Chongzhou did not have a spiritual weapon, but it was lost in the sea with the treasure ship, leaving only an ordinary protective treasure, which disappeared in the destruction of Dongli Sect... He had not seen this treasure for many years! Once he got this thing, he would refine the spiritual embryo and take the treasure pill, and he would be able to gain a foothold in the early stage of Purple Mansion immediately!
"Your Excellency is so generous! This is the imperial demeanor!"

Cui Changfu had already been stunned by this series of treasures. He held the martial arts skills in his hand like a treasure, but his eyes were fixed on the spiritual weapon. His heart was pounding, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say no.

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes did not look at him, but looked at Cui Jueyin with a smile, and sighed in his heart:

"After this trip, Jue Yin will definitely receive the greatest respect... His talent, intelligence and means are not low, and he is often under my command. He has great hope of breaking through to the Purple Mansion. One day when he succeeds in breaking through, this spiritual weapon will eventually be in his hands..."

He lowered his eyes and smiled secretly:
'It's just a thought.'
