Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1026: Nan Tan Shen

Zhijing Mountain.

White flowers bloom all year round on Zhijing Mountain. Once the wind blows, the white flowers roll out like a waterfall, pouring out from the mountain, drifting with the wind, and falling into the surrounding mountains and forests, adding a touch of white.

Li Suining arrived riding on the wind, with silver light flashing, and saw a man in red armor standing in the mountains. He had extremely strong magical powers, piercing tiger eyes, and looked majestic and awe-inspiring. It was Ding Weiceng.

"Senior Ding!"

He had obviously been waiting for a while. When he saw Li Suining, he nodded and said politely:
"Sir, now that you are here, please follow us up the mountain!"

Ding Weizen is Zhenren Zhaojing's confidant and has always represented Zhenren's position in the continent. He is polite to Li Suining not because he is very familiar with him, but because Li Suining was promoted by Zhenren Zhaojing himself... From then on, they became closer.

Ding Weizhen was accompanied by an old man with a long beard. He looked very old and had a high level of cultivation, but he had a shifty look. When he saw him, he quickly bowed:

"Nanzhangku greets you, sir!"

Li Suining felt strange, but he remained polite and bowed:

"Hello, guest!"

This so-called Nanzhang Treasury... is actually the Situ Treasury of the Jinmen Campaign back then. The Situ family was wiped out by Buddhist monks, and their bloodline was divided among the various families. One branch that fell into the hands of the Li family went to the Shanyue territory and merged into the current Nanzhang Seven Clans... They all used Nanzhang as their surname, and he had changed his surname early on, and it was no longer Situ.

Li Suining seldom heard of Nanzhangku's name. After all, this man had an inglorious background and was able to survive only thanks to Ding Weizeng. He always kept a low profile. In his previous life, Ding Weizeng died early... Maybe he was also killed in a battle.

Behind Situ Ku stood a middle-aged man with angular features and a tough look. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but his sharpness could not be concealed. When Li Suining saw him, his eyes lit up.

'Nantan sinks!'

He suddenly realized:
"The master came out of retreat this time to meet the younger generation. Nan Tan Chen is also a genius. He has indeed established his foundation... and can also make pills. Naturally, he has to go to the mountain to pay a visit... and now he bumps into him!"

'No wonder Ding Keqing is here.'

The Nanzhang lineage has produced its first foundation-building person in so many years. If he doesn’t make a name for himself, then he will be amazing. The real person will naturally want to see it. At this moment, Nantan Chen has not yet been given a surname, and is still called Nanzhang Chen. Li Suining only saluted him and said with a smile:

"This senior... is really graceful."

Nan Zhangchen is a talented person, and more importantly, he was born at the right time. Whether it was Li Suining or Pu Xinya in his previous life, they were actually quite talented, but they were a little late in actually reaching the stage of foundation building... They did not play as big a role as Nan Zhangchen and Chen Jinguang in the entire course of history.

This life must be different, but these characters still need to be made friends. Although Nanzhang Chen was born in an illicit way, he died in battle in the end. The He family is now in a high position, but didn't they surrender in the end? Li Suining didn't care about his past life, but he inevitably had some preference for him, and his smile was very polite.

This made Nan Zhangchen flattered. Although he was a foundation-building person, he was not loved by his parents because of his background. The only one he could climb up was Nan Zhangku, but Nan Zhangku had more problems than him... When he came here, he heard that a genius from the main vein would go up the mountain together. He had been prepared to welcome Li Suining's arrogance. At this moment, he was very surprised and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Your Excellency has embarrassed me."

Ding Weizeng looked at him with a smile. Nanzhangku stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them went up the mountain together.

The white flowers in the mountains were like a sea, piled on the bright jade steps. Li Suining was relatively okay, but Nanzhang became very nervous, clenched his teeth, and kept his head down all the way without daring to raise his eyebrows.

He just knelt down in front of the steps trembling with fear and shouted:
"Xiao Xiu greets the real person!"

There is nothing luxurious on the top of the mountain. On the ordinary table there is only a high-footed white jade teacup and a white porcelain long-necked jade pot with glazed patterns. They are simple and clear, and complement each other.

The immortal was holding the jade slip and reading it carefully. He took a sip from the cup and put it aside.

Then I saw that the cup was shining brightly with colorful light, and there was a clear brown-yellow air rippling around, which rushed up to the sky and then all gathered in the small porcelain cup, so that the colors of the entire mountain poured into the cup, and the sound of magnificent chanting could be heard faintly.

As the immortal closed the cup lid with a clinking sound, all the strange visions disappeared, leaving only the skylight flowing quietly between the mountains.

This thing is the Purple Mansion Spirit Essence [Lingzun Xiguang], taking it can assist in practicing magic!

Li Ximing had the "Six Harmonies Treasure Bottle Theory" in his hand, so he naturally knew how to drink this thing - he needed to keep one of the sun and the moon shining, and the spiritual atmosphere smooth, and then take a pot of warm female water to brew it, and drink it while brewing, and take it slowly.

This [Spiritual Zun Xiguang] fell into the cup, only the size of a quail egg. After the spiritual water was poured in, it rolled gently. Li Ximing brewed three pots, which took more than half a month, before the spiritual essence became slightly smaller.

And during this short period of more than half a month, he had gained a glimpse of the magic skills and was full of inspiration. He was able to apply them with ease. The [Walking on Flames] that had been stuck for several years showed signs of loosening, as if it would make further progress at any time!
'Of course, I have set aside time to rest, but the effect of this item cannot be underestimated... It is about three to five times the normal practice. [Walking on Flames] with the help of [Valley Wind Leading Fire] is even more terrifying, and can even reach nearly ten times! '

'It's really a good treasure. It seems that it will be fine to use it for a year or so... You can use it slowly... Just use your vaginal fluid to maintain it on a daily basis.'

If one spends the entire year and a half on "Walking on Flames", it will be equivalent to ten years of complete training, which is enough to be able to compete with ease in most battles without losing out!
He was in a good mood. He slowly used up the last ray of [Lingzun Xiguang] in Shengyang, put the jade slip aside, and then turned to look at the three people.

"Suining is practicing Qi!"

Li Ximing nodded with a smile, raised his eyebrows to stop him from saying thank you, and then looked at Ding Weizheng:

"Is this the genius of the Nanzhang lineage?"

Ding Weizhen nodded quickly and said respectfully:
"Report to the Master, that is right!"

He raised his hand and introduced:
"He was brought up by his mother and took her surname, Nanzhang... My mother's family had been dating the Ye family for many years and they were very close. It was rare to have such a genius..."

Nanzhang has a mixed bloodline. Not only does it have a large number of Shanyue bloodlines, but there are also descendants of the Hushang clan who passed by, a large number of Yu family members from that time, and the Situ family who arrived last... and in these years, Hushang has intentionally mixed the bloodlines to disrupt the incense, and sent a large number of distant relatives of the Ye family and the Li family. The bloodline is actually very good, and there is no clan law to be traced... But the eyes of the world cannot be easily erased... After all, the reputation of being a surviving clan is not very good.

Li Ximing glanced at it and said with interest:

"Can you also make pills?"

"Exactly!"

Nan Zhangchen kowtowed in reply, but Li Ximing looked at him a few more times and replied:

"rare."

There are actually quite a few people who can make pills on the lake, and even one of them emerged from the direct line of the Li family. The reason why he is rare is not that he is good at making pills, but that he has a talent for practicing while also having a talent for making pills. The few alchemists on the lake are either practicing fetal breathing or qigong, and are really useless.

Li Suining knelt obediently beside him, not saying a word, but he was not surprised at all.

In his previous life, Nanzhang Chen was the candidate to take over the alchemy business on the lake. Although he was not valued by the King of Wei and got several scriptures from Master Zhaojing, he could not be called a disciple, but he had the status of a registered disciple. Naturally, there was no doubt about his talent!
As expected, Li Ximing immediately became interested and asked:
"What kind of medicine did you make?"

Nan Zhangchen raised his head slightly and said calmly:
"I came to the lake to try it a few days ago. Lord Ding gave me the [Three-Quan Breakthrough Pill] to try... I am incompetent and only got one pill out of the furnace."

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Ding Weizen. The guardian bowed and showed a jade bottle in his palm and replied:

"I am watching from the side. This is my first time practicing."

Li Ximing did not take it. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and the joy in his heart finally settled. He sighed:

'It's rare! Although it can't be compared with what I had back then, it's still a first-rate talent!'

Li Ximing has the talismanic energy in his body, so he can ignore all the difficulties in the flames. He can achieve twice the result with half the effort in refining the elixir, and the difficulty is greatly reduced. The benefits he gets are enjoyed all the way to the Purple Mansion, and each realm is greater than the previous one! This not only enabled him to support the entire Li family with his own strength, but also made it easy for him to refine the elixir in the Purple Mansion, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Nan Zhangchen didn't have the aura, but he was able to produce a pill the first time he encountered this profound [Three-Quan Breakthrough Pill]. Although it's hard to describe, it's a very good talent. Li Ximing smiled and said:

"Who is his father?"

Nan Zhangchen was slightly embarrassed, and Ding Weizhen said:
"It is said that... he is a Shanyue... a child left behind by a playboy from the Tian family in Dongshanyue..."

"Ok?"

Tian had worked in Shanyue for many years in his early years, so this was not surprising. Li Ximing stood up, raised his eyebrows and looked straight at him:
"It is said?"

This sentence frightened Nan Zhangchen so much that he bent down, and Li Suining's heart trembled. Fortunately, Ding Weizheng immediately said in a deep voice:

"I have personally checked and found that it is true. His father was indeed from the Tian family... but... I asked the head of the Tian family privately... and he refused to admit it."

Nan Zhangchen is building a foundation. Although the Tian family does not have a pillar, they do not want such a pillar to suddenly appear in the Tian family and occupy the magpie's nest. Li Ximing smiled and said:

"Just stay in Nanzhang. There's no need to go back. It's great to have your own surname. If there are more people like you, Nanzhang will have a bright future... If all the surnames in Nanzhang are unified, I will allow you to have your own surname."

Nan Tanchen waited and waited, although he did not expect to return to the Tian family, he was afraid of the words of being divided into Shanyue. He bowed and thanked, and Li Ximing casually threw a red book into his hand and instructed:
"Practice these recipes until you are familiar with them. In the future, the elixirs in the lake may fall into your hands!"

Nan Tanchen happily left. Li Ximing's tone softened a lot. He looked at Li Suining and said softly:

"How is your cultivation speed? You have also read the formation book of Yuanbian Zhenren. How do you feel about it?"

Li Suining said respectfully:

"The Immortal is a scholar of heaven and earth, so I have no choice but to work day and night to study hard! As for the skills... their profoundness is beyond my imagination, and the speed of cultivation... I think it is slow."

"Although the technique is somewhat difficult, it requires diligent practice."

Li Ximing rubbed his brows, laughed and shook his head. What Li Suining had obtained was actually the Qi training chapter of the [Heavenly God's Preface], which was of course more mysterious than he could imagine. He answered casually:
"I will use the Purple Palace Spiritual Resources to practice. It can assist in the practice of magic. When it is activated, the effect will spread and the mountain will be stained with some magic. You brothers... and your elders should come and practice a little when the time comes."

"And I have no other intention in asking you to come here this time. The most important thing is about a formation. Master Yuanbian has some bad karma, so it is not easy for him to accept you as his disciple. It is okay for you to learn a little in his cave, but he just wants you to stay away from the lake and go to the East China Sea."

"It's not suitable now. I'll just wait until I use up this spiritual item, and then I'll let you share in the benefits. After a year or so, you can set off."

This sentence seemed plain, but it stumped Li Suining. He suddenly realized:
"Go to the East China Sea? If I go to the East China Sea, how can I observe the situation in the world... and how can I secretly remind people! "

He was horrified:
"You must not go to the East Sea!"

But the real person's words were a reward, or in plain words, an order, so how could he refuse! Li Suining's mind raced, and he immediately knelt on the ground, saying in shame:
"Master, you have been thinking about me, and I feel ashamed... But I have been practicing martial arts this year, and I feel that my talent is not good... It is far inferior to that of my uncles. Whether it is cultivation or formation, if I want to repay my clan... I must first build a foundation..."

He lowered his eyebrows and cried:
"I owed you a favor for this opportunity to study... I don't want to be indecisive, waste the opportunity, and lose face for you... I just hope to build my foundation on the lake first, and then discuss overseas affairs!"

Li Ximing looked at him for a long time and nodded slightly:

"That's fine. This [Heavenly Master's Preface to the Divine Scroll] is really too difficult. It scares the child!"

Then he said:

"Your parents are both dead, and your family is all alone. It is indeed not suitable for you to go out. Leave a child behind... so that you can give your parents an explanation! I will ask the old man to find a good match for you."

Having just escaped from the wolf's den, he entered the tiger's den again. Li Suining could not refuse this time and felt extremely embarrassed. He had to grit his teeth and agree. However, Li Ximing's expression changed slightly and he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Everyone, get out!"

He raised his sleeves and swept the two men to the foot of the mountain. Then he heard a laugh from outside the formation:

"Daoyou Zhao Jing! I'm here to congratulate you!"

Li Ximing didn't have time to answer him, so he quickly put away the [Spirit Bottle Xiguang] on the table and replaced it with ordinary tea. Then he smiled and said:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Sima who's here. Please come in and talk in detail!"

He stepped out of the battle formation, only to see three people standing in the void!
The leader was dressed in white and had a sword on his waist. It was undoubtedly Sima Yuanli. He was holding a box in his hand and had a smile on his face.

The woman on the other side, who was a little further away from him, was wearing a light green Taoist robe, with soft features, tall stature, and a smile on her face. She had two strings of blue and white jade beads tied around her waist, making her waist look slender. She bowed and said softly:

"Daoyou Zhao Jing!"

"It turned out to be Master Kuang Yu."

Li Ximing was surprised because of this. When he looked carefully, he found that there was someone following Kuang Yu.

This person looked young, but his hair was tied up neatly, his clothes were meticulous, his expression was calm, and he seemed very calm. He raised his hand politely and said:
"I've met senior!"

If we really talk about it, it was the first time that Li Ximing was called a senior by Zifu. He felt a little amused and put aside his doubts for the time being, and said with a smile:
"Who is this…"

Kuang Yu pushed him to the front and said sternly:
"This is Master Nanwu... His Taoist name is no longer commonly used. Several Taoist friends in the East China Sea call him Master Guo. You can call him Master without worry... We are all family!"

"Oh?"

Using a surname instead of a Taoist name usually means that the surname has some noble origin... The Guo family of Chijiao Island is too famous, and Kuang Yu mentioned the East China Sea. Li Ximing immediately became alert and said half-believingly:

"Guo family... Daoist friend is..."

As soon as these words came out, the newly-acquainted Nanwu Zhenren shook his head repeatedly, revealing a bit of disdain, and replied with a smile:

"Don't dare to repair and fire!"

I didn’t quite understand it when I first wrote the book, and several early alliance leaders added more chapters that weren’t written in the title.

Now the leader has asked about it, so I will add the thanks to each one in the title.

Thank you all for your support.
