Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1027 Nanwu
His words were clever, implicitly drawing out the position, causing the three to laugh. Sima Yuanli only pulled Li Ximing aside and sighed:
"Friend Guo is also afraid... After all, he suffered in his early years and was troubled by the matter of fire. Today, he is terrified by the mention of fire!"

"After all, Guo Shentong is famous."

Li Ximing answered with a smile, Sima Yuanli said with emotion:

"There is more than one surname. There was once a purple mansion with fire, which harmed many people in his family. Later, he was asked to sell it in exchange for spiritual objects to break through, and then he gradually got better..."

"It's better not to repair and ignite! As long as you don't repair and ignite..."

He reached out his hand and patted his forehead, jokingly saying:
"There's something in here too!"

Li Ximing laughed, but suddenly remembered that the most powerful weapon in his hand, [Tianwu Binghuo], was also a Binghuo. If it weren't for Gu Fengyinhuo and Fu Zhong, he would also be affected. He just ignored it awkwardly.

Kuang Yu was probably not very familiar with Sima Yuanli, so he just smiled. Li Ximing nodded in agreement and said with a smile:
"please!"

As the guide of the host, he asked the three people to go up the mountain. When they stopped at the top of the mountain, Sima Yuanli introduced:
"Fellow Daoist Guo was born in the East China Sea. He is a casual cultivator. His ancestors were from a famous family, the famous [Guo family of Yongzhou]. When Liang was destroyed, they fled to the outer seas and lost their reputation..."

This Nanwu Zhenren nodded slightly, took over the conversation and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Qing Hu, you don't need to praise me. If you want to compare noble births, how can I compare to being a descendant of God? It will only make Senior Zhao Jing laugh at me."

He sighed softly:
"Back then, my ancestor was seriously injured and dared not show up, so he had to take refuge in the open sea, where he died quickly. However, the spiritual energy in the open sea is very thin. In just a hundred years, our family has fallen into extreme poverty. We can only rely on an island that was transformed from the death of a real person to practice..."

"Before my ancestor died, he entrusted all his treasures to a certain immortal, asking him to take care of them, so that my family wouldn't perish because of the treasures. This immortal took care of my family for a hundred years, but died in a disaster, and we haven't heard from him since... My family became increasingly destitute, and gradually reached the point where we couldn't even keep the island."

"If it weren't for the old Taoist priest Qu Sishan who passed by overseas a hundred years ago and accidentally discovered me... and took me out to sea, I would have had some luck and wouldn't have the way forward I have today!"

He seemed to be full of emotion, but Li Ximing understood it clearly. This introduction first mentioned Daliang and pointed out his origin, and then mentioned [Qu Sishan], talking about the network of relationships behind him, which was the Zifu system of Southeast Hai Kuangyu.

At the same time, Li Ximing's doubts were also resolved. Those who could be harmed by the Purple Mansion and the Fire should be at the stage of building the foundation. They forcibly used the Fire to save the clan from the water and fire. The Fire was detrimental to the body and life, so it was normal for them to die tragically in the end.

Li Ximing withdrew his hand and sighed:
“It’s not easy…”

Kuang Yu nodded slightly and continued:
"The Guo family has been through a lot these past few years... and now that they have returned from overseas, they are in urgent need of a large amount of spiritual resources and a purple palace formation that can protect the family... which also meets fellow Daoist's expectations!"

"That's why, when I got the news about Zhao Jing, I immediately thought of Fellow Daoist Guo and asked him about it in detail. I didn't expect that he also knew Fellow Daoist Qing Hu and came here on his way to Helin to investigate the formation."

Li Ximing nodded suddenly, and Sima Yuanli did not delay and took something out of his sleeve.

It was a mysterious scroll with colorful patterns on it, tied with a golden spiritual rope. He placed it in front of Li Ximing and sighed:
"In the past few days, the formation cultivators in my clan have carved and pieced together the formation diagram of this formation, and also got clues from several Changxiao formation cultivators. We got 50% to 60% out of 100."

Sima Yuanli's move was undoubtedly very thoughtful and gave enough face to both sides. Li Ximing smiled and nodded. Seeing Sima Yuanli stroking his beard, he continued:
"This is the [Tianyi Zhixi Spiritual Array], which was created by Chang Xiao. When he came out of the cave, he was covered with treasures and was not stingy in using them. The array plate is based on [Bai Ying Tiao Jin] and has [Chang He Lang Xing] as the pattern. It was refined with two kinds of purple mansion spiritual objects and various spiritual resources. This array plate alone is so priceless!"

"This spiritual formation is established. Although it is slightly inferior in resisting other cultivators and has few means of attack, it is the best choice for assisting cultivation, gathering spiritual energy, nourishing life, and establishing the Tao and passing on the Dharma. It is a first-class treasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out something from his palm and said with a smile:

"This is a formation plate!"

This thing was the size of a palm, with eight sides and eight corners, and was a pure bluish-white color. There were runes as fine as cow hair painted on it, which were as bright and white as snow, but as Sima Yuanli's palm shook, it shone with a little bit of golden light.

"My family has a lot of heritage, and I was able to get this item safely. It's not damaged much, at most it's damaged some of the spiritual energy. I just need to wait for the new formation to be refined and nurture it for a year or two!"

"The only thing is... we took this out rashly after breaking the formation. I don't know how to use formations, I just used magic to restrain it here. I need to find someone who knows how to use formations, and I will go with him to place it."

Upon hearing this, Master Guo's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly. Li Ximing took it calmly and felt his palm was cold when it fell into his hand.

It is worthy of being a treasure of the Purple Mansion level. The whole thing is compact and cute, and it radiates the magical colorful light of the Purple Mansion level. Once you take a look at it, you can't take your eyes off it. You will be reluctant to put it down after holding it in your hand. Even if you don't need it for your own use, you will want to collect it and take a closer look.

Master Guo at the side couldn't take his eyes away. Li Ximing looked at him with a smile and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Guo... is practicing..."

Master Guo raised his head and said politely:
"Senior, you don't have to be polite. I'm Guo Nanwu, you can just call me Nanwu... My Guo family practices 'Female Water' and 'Shao Yang', supplemented by the Dao of Fire Virtue, and I achieved success with the Dao of 'Shao Yang'..."

“That’s rare!”

Li Ximing felt that this was the first time he had seen the Shaoyang Purple Palace, but he reacted very quickly. Besides being surprised, he was more suspicious:
'Shaoyang is not surprising. After all, he is a family of Daliang. Daliang has the famous Shaoyang Demon Lord. But in this case, combined with his ancestor's experience of fleeing, it is very likely that his ancestor was an important official of Emperor Liang and a cultivator of Shaoyang! '

What does this mean? The Daliang Shaoyang Daoism comes from the [Zitai Xuanxie Sect], which is commonly known as the Guanxie Sect! Who is in charge of the Guanxie Sect now? Wei Xuanyin! Who are you working for? Luoxia!
This is the benefit of knowing the veins of the orthodox tradition. Even though the possibility that the other party came from the [Zi Tai Xuan Xie Sect] was extremely low, Li Ximing immediately tried to test it and nodded:

"It's not surprising. It turns out to be the Shaoyang Dao... But is it the Guanxie Dao sect?"

After these words came out, Sima Yuanli, who was about to speak, sipped his tea and said nothing. Guo Nanwu smiled and said:
"But I can't reach the level of Guanxie's Taoist lineage. In fact, 'Yinshui' is my family's main cultivation. 'Shaoyang' was acquired by our ancestors in exchange... I didn't expect that 'Yinshui' has repeatedly failed, but 'Shaoyang' has succeeded."

His expression showed some emotion, and he replied:
“I know what you want to say about the [Zi Tai Xuan Xie Sect]… In the past, this group of immortal cultivators were high and mighty, but now… their orthodox Taoist lineage is completely cut off… They are just a group of people doing odd jobs for the [Guan Hua Tian Lou Dao].”

Li Ximing was slightly surprised, but Sima Yuanli coughed, indicating that he should not talk about it any more. He had no choice but to put down the cup and nodded silently:
"That's true... Firstly, his family could have been hunted down to such a state, so it's impossible that they were from the Zitai Xuanxie Sect. Secondly... even if Wei Xuanyin wanted to make trouble, he wouldn't do it this way... and there's no need to get involved in these suspicions. Even if he doesn't find a descendant of Mingyang, at least he has a cleaner background..."

Guo Nanwu was slightly embarrassed, and then said:
"Nanwu also understood the preciousness of this item, so he brought a spiritual item this time."

"Oh?"

Li Ximing looked up with interest and saw Guo Nanwu take out a box from his arms, open it casually, and reveal a bright color inside.

He said softly:

"Senior, please look!"

Li Ximing's spiritual consciousness moved, and he saw a magnificent golden aura in the box, surging up and down, suppressed by the magical power protecting the surface. The colors at the bottom gathered together and became clear, obviously a golden spiritual object.

This made Li Ximing narrow his eyes and ask:

"'Exchange for gold'?"

"Exactly!"

Guo Nanwu replied solemnly:

"This thing has no name. It is a kind of golden evil spirit, but it is a 'Dui Jin' spiritual object. I asked the old immortal to take a look, and he said it is more noble than the ordinary purple mansion spiritual objects!"

"Noble?"

His choice of words made Li Ximing feel a little strange, and he remained silent. Sima Yuanli frowned, half believing and half doubting, and replied:

"I think it's like [Changyue Zhihuajin]... but it has more bright meaning..."

"Fellow Daoist Qinghu, please give me some advice!"

Guo Nanwu shook his head and sighed, then replied:

"Back then, my family was practicing in the outer sea. The void was shaking, and a golden star fell from the sky. A long rainbow swept the moon and approached the sky, causing the scenery to become chaotic and foggy. Although our ancestor was seriously injured, he had to show up."

"He only saw a few points of golden light falling into the sea. He was close to the water and got the moon first. He secretly took it back. After studying it again and again, he also felt that it was [Changyue Zhi Transformed into Gold]."

"Later, Master Di Yan helped my family. I wanted to break through the Purple Palace, so I used this spiritual object to thank him. I used [Miao Wei Bing Huo] to get [San Zong Rong Yang Stone]. The Master took Bing Huo, but [Chang Yue Zhi Bian Jin] was sent back by the Master."

Guo Nanwu looked complicated and replied:

"The old Taoist said that it was [the gold given by Shen Bai from the previous year], so he refused to take it and told us not to touch it with other gold, as it would change if touched... so he kept it until today."

"After Nanwu achieved supernatural powers, he went to the mountain gate to visit the old immortal and asked about this matter, but the old immortal kept silent. When he asked about Shenmiao again, he said that it had a little more power of the sun... In fact, I was a little curious, but now the clan has searched for it, and this is the only thing they can produce!"

Li Ximing carefully tasted it, and his supernatural powers responded, and he replied:

"It really has the power of the first manifestation."

This gave Li Ximing something to think about. His own Di Qi Guang was condensed in a room in the Juque Courtyard, with the sun, thunder and light evil as the main elements. This thing contained the sun and was the golden evil. If he couldn't sell it for the time being, he could also use it to practice magic, which should be of great use.

He didn't think of taking it for himself, but wanted to add icing on the cake to Li Zhouwei's magic. Otherwise, he was really unwilling to exchange it for the "Dui Jin"!
Guo Nanwu nodded repeatedly, while Li Ximing raised his eyebrows and said:
"This item is indeed precious, but the [Tianyi Zhixi] array plate is based on [Bai Yingtiao Gold] and has [Chang He Langxing] as the drawing. They are both excellent purple palace spiritual items. This one gold alone may be difficult to match."

Guo Nanwu hesitated for a long time and opened his mouth to talk about the skills, but he had not discussed the matter of his ancestors with the islanders, so it was difficult to bring it out. Kuang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"But it's not just that. If you want to build a formation, you will definitely need this huge amount of spiritual resources from the sea. The Shangyi Dao is extremely scarce. Fellow Daoist Minghuang has conquered Changxiao, so these things are also indispensable!"

Guo Nanwu obviously trusted her very much. He nodded after thinking about it. Kuang Yu said softly:

"How about this... I calculated the time. The Guo family has few people. Even if we use all our strength to build this formation, it will take 10 to 20 years. It can be said to be a long time..."

She turned to look at Li Ximing and said kindly:

"Why not let him take the [Eight Directions Courtyard Soul Containing Array] first, and let the Guo family establish themselves on the islands in the South China Sea first? Fellow Daoist Zhao Jing also needs someone to help and clean up overseas. For twenty to thirty years, the Li family can provide some basic spiritual objects, and Nanwu can run around in the South China Sea for Wangyue, and occasionally help with matters that are not related to the north and the south. It can be considered as mutual assistance..."

Kuang Yu smiled and replied:

"Don't worry about anything else. Once the formation is set up, if there really has been no trouble for Nanwu in the past thirty years, I will add some spiritual resources to you depending on the situation."

She said seriously:

"This matter has been coordinated by Qu Sishan and me, so it is a guarantee! If it really doesn't work... I can only take some skills to give to fellow Taoists..."

This was beyond Li Ximing's expectation. He turned around in surprise and began to think:

"That's true..."

Now Qingyan's matter has not been dealt with yet, Li Ximing is still in contact with several demon kings of Bola, and actually has elixirs and spiritual resources to exchange, but these things are not convenient for some minor cultivators to bring around, so he can't leave... He can only sit on the mountain in vain...

Even the deal with Nanshun Luoji and the meeting with the man from Yinzhou were things he should have done, but there were many threats ahead, and Wangyue Lake needed to be protected... He couldn't get out in time. He finally had Liu Changdie, but he had to guard the Qunyi! These things had been piled up for a long time, so when Li Zhouwei went out, he had to do these errands.

"If there is such a person, he can just maintain friendly relations with my family, come here once or twice on weekdays, or write a letter. Forget about the expensive and confidential things, and let him handle these elixirs, spiritual resources, and ordinary things... It would be useful..."

Li Ximing was not greedy for those few spiritual resources at all, and he understood that Kuang Yu sincerely hoped that the cultivators of Yue State could get closer to her school. But what really made his heart beat was another thing!
So far, Li Jiangqian and Li Quewan already have hope of obtaining the Purple Mansion, and then there will be another important thing - the Green Talisman!
'At that time, we can find a monster without background overseas and gather everyone's strength... maybe it's possible... Even if monsters without background are hard to find, it's always good to have a purple mansion-level combat power!'

"The only pity is that... the South China Sea does not bring much benefit to my family... and it is not good to drag them into the dispute between the North and the South."

He pondered for a long time, and didn't want his family's skills at all, so he smiled and said:
"You can have a personal relationship with me. Since we have been talking for thirty years, we are still good friends from now on. I don't have to die like that. I am even more embarrassed to ask you for spiritual resources!"

"this…"

Guo Nanwu was slightly startled and a little uneasy. He quickly returned the greeting and said:
"Senior Zhao Jing..."

Li Ximing shook his head, stood up with a smile, and replied:
"You don't have to be so polite!"

He picked up the formation plate, handed it to Guo Nanwu, and said with a smile:
"Now that it's settled, don't keep Daoist Qing Hu waiting any longer. Please leave quickly!"

Although the array plate was cold to the touch, Guo Nanwu felt as if he was holding a warm treasure. He heaved a long sigh of relief and sighed:
"I will remember this favor!"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Kuang Yu again. He was slightly startled, but saw Kuang Yu standing next to Li Ximing. The woman smiled and said:
"Congratulations! Daoist Friend Zhao Jing and I still have some trivial matters to discuss... so I won't accompany you back. Fairy Ning is in Xinyu, you can just go straight to her!"
