Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1057: Silver Light (1/2 additional chapters for Edelgard's rewards)

Four Min.

The glow of morning light shone among the numerous attics, and the newly built official residence looked majestic. Several carriages hurriedly stopped in front of the mansion, carrying heavy boxes and delivering them to the mansion one by one.

"Sir, we have arrived at Li Canjun's residence."

The servant following the carriage lowered his head and asked a question. The curtain of the carriage opened immediately, and a man walked out from it. He was dressed in blue and white clothes, with handsome features, a purple dot between his eyebrows, and a purple and gold python pattern painted on it. He was so handsome that he could forget the world. He nodded to the servant in front of the door and said:

"Please report to the host that Li Jiangliang, the Privy Councilor of Fengwu Palace, requests to see you."

The attendant immediately went in, and when he reached the mansion, he saw a strong young man step out, bowed in front of the door, and said:

"Meet the adults!"

Li Jiangliang raised his eyebrows, and the two pairs of golden eyes looked at each other for a moment. Seeing him smile, he said:

"It's been a long time since we last met, brother is still the same."

Li Jiangxia stared at him quietly for a moment, grinned, and replied:

"Please come in, sir."

Li Jiangliang dismissed the people around him and asked them to move all the generous gifts inside. He followed his brother and walked forward through the hall. He sat down in this magnificent mansion and then sighed:

"My brother is unfamiliar."

"Oh?"

Li Jiangxia laughed loudly after hearing this. Her golden eyes looked generous and magnanimous. She shook her head and said:

"I am not Li Jianglong, I don't have such a small mind. You have become more capable today, I am very proud of you, it's not that we are strangers, it's that we are different in status. You are daring and adventurous, you have supernatural powers, you deserve to be called a master."

The purple-blue color between the eyebrows of this fourth brother Li Jiangliang became increasingly intense, and his aura had already transcended the foundation-building stage and possessed the power of divine ability!

Emperor Yang Xucheng was obviously one of the first few to benefit!

But Li Jiangliang did not agree with his words and shook his head:
"Brother, what you said is not right. There is no reason to dare to let go or dare to take risks. It's just that the current situation requires me. I know how capable I am."

Li Jiangxia was clearly only at the foundation building stage, but he seemed to be more powerful than him. He laughed and replied:

"Your Majesty's reward is very generous, including power, official residence, spiritual resources and beauties. I can't afford it."

When mentioning this matter, Li Jiangliang said seriously:
"The Lord has told me several times that among all the generals, he likes you the most and is considering promoting you to the imperial palace...but the spiritual resources in this official residence are nothing compared to that."

Positions in the Purple Gold Palace were not achieved overnight, but were received according to location and power, with the highest being Chi Xuan. Yang Xuan's intention was obviously to make him the head of the military commanders.

Seeing that his brother did not comment, Li Jiangliang sighed slightly, but Li Jiangxia was more concerned about his magical powers, so he narrowed his eyes and asked:
"What is your current condition?"

Li Jiangliang raised his eyebrows and said:

"My current duties are the Privy Envoy of Fengwu Palace, the Envoy of True Light Cloud, the Duke of Lizhou, the leader of Zijin Palace, and the Heavenly Martial Divine Ability... Although I don't have any specific magical powers, I have all the mysteries of the True Qi, the status of the Purple Palace, and the ability to travel through the void..."

Li Jiangxia narrowed her eyes and asked:

"Mercy?"

The fourth brother shook his head and said seriously:

"To be better, we should be on the golden lotus throne, under Maha."

This made Li Jiangxia look serious, and she replied:

"It's more than enough... What about your own magical power? I vaguely remember... you cultivated the Lihuo! Do you still have a chance to use your magical power? How confident are you?"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Jiangliang hesitated for a moment before answering:

"My immortal foundation is perfect, and I am nourished by the mystical true energy, becoming more and more perfect. But I consider myself not very advanced in Taoism, and I estimate that... it will take at least ten years for me to achieve my magical powers."

Li Jiangxia put down the cup in her hand, a trace of suspicion flashed through her mind, and she raised her eyebrows and said:
"You can still become a god!"

Li Jiangliang did not deny this and nodded:
"Yes, it will even be quite helpful for me to achieve my magical power. Once I achieve my magical power, the combination of the two will immediately surpass the power of an ordinary magical power, the Purple Mansion!"

Li Jiangxia remained silent for a long time and asked:

"What position do you hold now?"

Li Jiangliang replied:
"Your Majesty controls water and fire. Water is the civil officials, and fire is the military officials. The Fengwu Palace where I am located is essentially a military palace that goes out to defend against enemies. If you really want to calculate, I am now considered a half-military official, and I have the honorary title of founding county duke... I am considered the head of all officials."

Li Jiangxia exhaled deeply and asked:
"Your Majesty asked you to come here. What do you want to tell me?"

Li Jiangliang said seriously:

"The Lord wants to welcome you, Chi Xuan, but has no excuse. Considering that the witch kingdoms in the southern border have not yet submitted, the Lord wants to send troops out to pacify the six neighboring countries and stabilize the rear for Jinghai Jiedu."

He waved his sleeves, raised them forward, and said softly:
"The tiger seal is outside. If you hold it, you can go out with Xuan and guard one side. As long as the Lord does not let you come back, you can hold Xuan on his behalf and be equal to me!"

In Li Jiangliang's opinion, Yang Xu's preference for Li Jiangxia was extremely obvious. It was not just because he liked his temperament and personality, but also involved many other aspects...

"My second brother was brought back by General Yang, and he is obviously a close confidant. I don't know what benefits General Yang promised him... My second brother acted very cautiously. After meeting the Lord... he was quickly ordered to lead the troops. He only met me briefly..."

Li Jiangliang couldn't figure out whether the second brother was under Yang Ruiyi's command, but the Song Emperor was obviously not interested in him. Instead, he liked the third brother who came to the imperial capital later and had a generous personality... Li Jiangliang didn't dare to say that there was any conflict between the Song Emperor and the Yang family, but at least... the Song Emperor didn't like the Yang family to interfere too much.

For this reason, Li Jiangliang was certain that his third brother Li Jiangxia would be able to hold the Xuan earlier than his second brother. However, when he received this order this morning, he was still extremely shocked:

"This is too hasty..."

His expression was complicated. Facing the temptation thrown by his fourth brother, Li Jiangxia did not show much interest. Instead, she stared at his golden eyes and said softly:
"Liang'er, you look like a member of my Li family now."

Li Jiangliang was caught off guard, but he reacted very quickly, smiled slightly, and said:
"I thought my brother would say Cui Keqing."

Li Jiangxia laughed, stood up, walked to the window, and shook her head:

"Among the five of us brothers, only Jiangnian pales in comparison. However, among all the mortals, the most evil one is Li Jiangqian - you probably don't know, right? Our eldest brother is very vicious, he is the most unscrupulous, once he gets angry, he can give up anything."

He took a step forward and emphasized:
"Whatever."

Li Jiangliang looked thoughtful, but Li Jiangxia smiled and said:
"Li Jianglong, your second brother, I don't respect him in my heart, but I also understand that he is very similar to my eldest brother. He cherishes his life and is selfish, but he lacks ruthlessness. That's why I don't like him."

"You and I are more like each other, at least... I have read the clan records. The army has killed many people and everything is in ruins. Only you and I would consider mortals. When you spread the news back home, my eldest brother was very disdainful, but I believed it. You said you joined the Song Dynasty for your ambitions, and I believed it too."

"I also know that you feel guilty."

Li Jiangliang looked at him blankly as if struck by lightning. His brother smiled and said:

"But it doesn't have to be."

"Now that Tianwu has ascended to the world, rather than saying that I came to Simin out of necessity, it would be better to say that I came here with ambition. In this respect, we are both like our father."

He pushed open the door of the palace, looked at the golden tiger talisman and the purple ribbon seal that were quietly placed on the jade plate cushion in Xuanguan's hands, and said lightly:

"You and I can't sit still under his wing and wait for death - no one's ambition is greater, more arrogant, and more in need of sacrifice than his."

……

The sun was setting, the white cloth in front of the hall fluttered, and a few fragments of golden light were scattered in the shadows. Li Suining waited in the corridor for a while, and then he saw Li Zhoufang hurried out of the hall.

Li Qiuyang was a very important person, but to most members of the Li family, his life or death was of no consequence and no one cared. However, this funeral was held in a lively atmosphere. Even Li Zhoufang, a direct descendant of the Li family, did not show much sadness on his face when he came out to pay his respects. He was only a little worried about Li Xuanxuan's health.

The young man following the middle-aged man looked around, with his upper garment casually tucked into his belt, revealing a little bit of the white lining, and he looked absent-minded.

It’s Li Suiqing.

Li Suining sighed inwardly.

Li Zhoufang was actually very happy when his son Li Jiangzong became the head of the clan. It had nothing to do with how noble he was among his peers. He just wanted his own child to be promising and to share the clan's worries. However, after Li Suining had been in seclusion for a few years, he found that Li Zhoufang had obviously aged a lot, and the only thing he showed on the outside was deep fatigue.

He was somewhat happy to see Li Suining, but the grandson behind him was obviously bored for a long time and couldn't help but run away. Li Zhoufang turned around and glared at him, but the child was not afraid and stared at him straight, and was about to ask. Li Zhoufang gritted his teeth and felt bitter:

"My child... your brother is a gifted man, and you, an incompetent fellow, will have to rely on him for the future... If you don't get closer to him now, how will you survive in the future!"

But he was afraid that he would make things look too bad, so he could only wave him off, looking back at Li Suining's smiling face, he sighed:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Li Suining shook his head, and the elder immediately took his hand and walked forward, saying worriedly:
"Over the years, Sui Qing's incompetence and bad behavior have become worse. Your uncle Jiang Zong has only one son. The more you manage him, the more you find that he is hopeless..."

Li Suining was about to speak, but Li Zhoufang waved his hand and said:

"Don't use Zhou Ming's story to comfort me. It's different. Zhou Ming might have been a little playful when he was young, but when he saw us, he always had a smile on his face. He has a good character."

"But Suiqing has a stubborn temper from nowhere. Not only is his mind treacherous, but the more you scold and beat him, the more ferocious he becomes. Even if you take him to the clan's main courtyard, unless you beat him to death in one breath, he will still be that ferocious and evil."

He stared at Li Suining blankly, his eyes sparkling, and replied:

"The old man and I still think he can be saved. Your uncle Jiang scolds him every time he sees him. He has told me privately many times that he really wants to kill him with a slap."

Li Suining actually knew that his younger brother was useless and had brought too many rumors to their family, but he didn't think it was something that could be resolved by just slapping him to death. He bowed and said:

"Just put more restrictions on him and don't let uncle see him..."

Li Zhoufang shook his head bitterly and replied:
"I have very poor talent, and I can't even touch the possibility of building a foundation. Two years ago, I wanted to make further progress, but I took medicine in a hurry, which only caused the sea of ​​qi to vibrate and my blood qi to be greatly damaged. I can't avenge one or two blood feuds. Only King Wei remembered me and killed Nusaki for me. I still hate him and secretly feel that it is not enough. I still think there is hope for great revenge, but Suiqing's current appearance makes me feel ashamed and hate him even more helplessly."

He vented his emotions in a few words, shook his head absentmindedly, and said with a smile:
"You want to break through to the foundation-building stage... I have already reported this to the Immortal Master. He specially asked you to go to Zhijing Mountain. He must be preparing elixirs for you."

Li Suining felt a little sorry for him, but after all, he couldn't say any words of comfort. He could only nod silently and ride the wind to Zhijing Mountain.

Li Suining saw the mountain full of white flowers from afar, but he had no intention of appreciating them. He walked to the pavilion at the foot of the mountain with full of thoughts, and found that someone had already stopped there early.

This man was dressed in a robe of lapis lazuli feathers and a green and black crown on his head. His clothes were extremely mysterious and gorgeous, which made his not-so-outstanding appearance look quite majestic. His face was as white as jade, his aura was full, and he stood with his hands behind his back.

Li Suining was stunned at first, then he saw the pair of golden eyes, and then he reacted and said hurriedly:

"Second uncle!"

This person was Li Jianglong who had returned from the Song court.

Li Suining only observed him briefly and found that his cultivation was extremely perfect and his power was infinite. He was vaguely connected to the martial arts star in the sky. He knew that he had entered the [Purple Gold Palace]. Although he could not hold the mysterious power yet, he had supernatural powers. It was undoubtedly a great joy. He immediately congratulated him:
"Congratulations, Uncle!"

Li Jianglong's expression fluctuated slightly, as if he was trying to determine the meaning of his words. He nodded slightly and said to him:

"Suining is thoughtful."

Li Suining looked at him with a smile at first, but his smile became less and less, and he sensed something strange in his heart - he had made great achievements in the war and was highly valued, which should have been a time of great success and success, but his second uncle was not proud, and even seemed a little gloomy.

Li Suining's arrival did not divert his attention much. He put his hand on his wrist, tapping it lightly, revealing his inner unrest.

Only then did the court guards arrive in front of the pavilion and bow to let the two in.

Li Ximing was not fond of luxury. There was a strong immortal atmosphere in the mountains. This immortal sat quietly in the mountains with a tall alchemy furnace beside him. The lively red and white flames jumped at the bottom of the furnace, occasionally revealing some terrifying fluctuations.

There was actually a real person sitting at the table, dressed in dark blue clothes, with a smile on his face, appearing a little restrained. When he saw the two people coming up, he looked at Li Jianglong carefully.

It was Guo Nanwu.

Li Jianglong didn't recognize him, but Li Suining suddenly became sensitive and thought:
"It's Master Nanwu. You entered the lake so early..."

Speaking of all the immortals, the one who was closest to Li was Immortal Yuanbian Liu Changdie. However, this immortal stayed in the East China Sea and never entered the sea. The most immortals who came to the lake were Immortal Nanwu and another Immortal Kuangyu.

But the real person has infinite power, he didn't dare to think about it too much, and silently lowered his head to collect his thoughts.

Guo Nanwu was working for the Li family and had just returned from Borobudur. This trip was naturally to deal with the letter delivery and the [Light Red Ba Fire] in Li Ximing's hand that he had obtained from Minghui!
This [Light Red Ba Fire] was originally a good thing, but unfortunately it had been messed up by Buddhist monks for a hundred years, so it was very troublesome to deal with. Li Ximing asked the fire bird Huoyang carefully, but got her answer with little interest.

This is not difficult to understand. Li Ximing wants other spiritual fires. Huoyang must have other spiritual fires besides the [Red Pheasant Chongli Flame], which may not be worse than the [Light Red Ba Fire]... But for Huoyang, why would he use a good spiritual fire to exchange for a mottled flame that has been tossed around by Buddhist monks for a hundred years? It is difficult for Li Ximing to deal with this thing, let alone others.

This trip naturally ended in vain. He only took Huoyang's spiritual objects to make pills for her. Tulong Jian has not returned yet. After thinking about it, Li Ximing had no choice but to accept this result:
"It's not easy to find a scapegoat. I have to deal with this thing myself. After I clean it up, I can use it for myself or wait for the buyer to come to me... It will always be useful, instead of just leaving it in my hands like it is now."

So he asked Guo Nanwu to go to the East China Sea to exchange some spiritual resources. Guo Nanwu agreed, but was reluctant to leave and instead asked about Li Jianglong's whereabouts.

Song Ting still had many secrets in front of the Purple Palaces. The group of real people in the South Sea were still restless. This real person obviously wanted to see him specially. Li Ximing also happened to want to see him, so he casually invited him up and said with a smile:
"This is Li Jianglong."

As he began to introduce himself, he took a closer look and felt that Li Jianglong's bright and yang energy was faintly revealing layers of mysterious true Qi, which was constantly nourishing his cultivation. So he put two fingers together, and "The World is Bright" responded, and suddenly a ray of invisible light danced on his fingertips.

Using his divine power, he finally noticed something was wrong with Li Jianglong:
'Fate is different.'

Li Ximing had achieved his magical powers and had secretly observed Li Zhouwei. He felt that his magical powers were at their peak, just like the sun on earth, boiling hot! And now, Li Jianglong had a faint purple light on his body, as if he was connected to some mysterious and infinite secret treasure.

Li Ximing retracted his divine power and asked:

"What did Nanwu see?"

Guo Nanwu nodded slightly. He practiced the "Xie Jue Qiu" of the "Shao Yang" sect. He had amazing abilities in observation and travel, and he could even transform Shao Yang into Yin. He had a very high vision. He could see a sense of crisis rising in his heart. He suddenly had a premonition and transmitted his voice with his magical powers:

"If I kill him, disaster will surely befall me!"

"So powerful... No wonder they are not worried about the Buddhist cultivators taking action. Not to mention converting them... It is extremely inappropriate to even have the intention to kill them."

Li Ximing narrowed his eyes slightly and had already heard a lot of names.

Guo Nanwu also sensed the pressure from the Xiuwu Star, but this made him feel really strange... It was because he had no feeling at all about the so-called threat from the Xiuwu Star.

Li Ximing looked at it for a long time without saying anything, but Guo Nanwu had already figured it out after looking at it for a while, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Li Ximing had a calm expression on his face and asked with a smile. There was no sign of anything unusual. Li Jianglong bowed down in the mountains and said respectfully again:

"Congratulations to the Immortal for coming out of retreat and achieving great magical powers!"

Li Ximing's smile deepened and he asked:
"I want to congratulate you! Tell me, how many miraculous powers do you have?"

Li Jianglong looked calm and said respectfully:
"Report to the Immortal Master, I have only just entered the court. The Emperor has appointed me as a governor of Fengwu Palace, a minor cultivator of Zijin Palace, and in charge of Jiangjun County affairs. I will lead the Song army to garrison and support Tingzhou. I will listen to my father and the general's orders!"

The so-called Jiangjun County is located in the wilderness today. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is supporting Wangyue Lake. Li Ximing quickly understood the intention of the south and listened to Li Jianglong saying:

"As for the miraculous powers... I can't compare to my fourth brother. I just master a few true qi methods and increase my cultivation. I still need to make other achievements before I can go further."

Li Ximing said with great interest:
"How is Jiangliang?"

Li Jianglong whispered:

"My fourth brother is now the head of all officials, the Purple Gold Palace holds the Xuan, and is in charge of the Heavenly Martial Divine Power! He is already the Purple Palace!"

Li Ximing held his breath for a while, his heart was extremely complicated, and he sighed secretly:
'Seeking the Way is nothing but nature and life. Nature and life are not cultivated by oneself, but given by others. How is it different from mercy and Maha!'

"But... it's so easy! The whole world will flock to it."

His eyes were complicated, while Li Jianglong looked a little frightened and replied:

"As for these mysteries... I'm afraid they can't be demonstrated to real people..."

Li Ximing frowned and asked:

"Why?"

Li Jianglong smiled helplessly and shook his head:
"My father was given the mandate of heaven and was granted a fiefdom by the emperor. He is the only one who can rule the country. He is not allowed to practice martial arts. Even if he is the top immortal official of the dynasty, he would be reduced to his original form when he came to our Wei Kingdom... Not only can he not maintain the mysterious power, but he will also lose the magical powers that assist in his practice!"

"Oh?"

Li Ximing's original guess was suddenly confirmed, and he slowly understood what was going on, but he was still a little skeptical:
"Is this really the case? Is it really true? Even the north can be illuminated by the Xiuwu Star. The so-called enfeoffment has such a miraculous effect... Is it only the division of land and enfeoffment that can have such an effect?"

He was confused in his heart, but his face was calm. He pretended to be enlightened and said with a smile:

"I see...it seems like you brothers...are not fit to stay on the lake."

Li Jianglong lowered his head slightly and replied:

"Master, it is clear that the general recommended me to be in charge of Jiangjun County for this reason. I can not only be blessed by the star of martial arts, but also protect the lake. It is the best of both worlds..."

Li Ximing listened for a while, then turned to look at the alchemy furnace, as if he was trying to adjust the temperature. He let Li Jianglong kneel, thinking for a long time, and secretly decided:
"I still need to take out the magic weapon for a look!"

His mind moved, he moved his eyes slightly, and gathered his spiritual awareness to respond to the immortal weapon!

Everything in front of him suddenly became clear. The purple light on Li Jianglong's body gradually faded, and clusters of purple like silk threads were seen gushing out from his Shengyang Palace, like a broken string, floating alone in the air.

'It seems that at this point, the power of Xiuwu Star is like water without roots... it can no longer connect to the star in the sky... it is really as he said, because this place is the land of the princes...'

There was no joy in his heart, but he suddenly felt:
"If so... can the rules of Xiuwu Star still be effective on the lake?"

If the rules of Xiuwu's killing intent cannot be applied to the lake, it means that the North can slaughter people in Wangyue Lake...

He felt heavy in his heart, but did not ask any questions. He slowly looked away, but unexpectedly a ray of silver light suddenly entered his field of vision!

Li Suining, who was kneeling on the side as if nothing had happened, was suddenly flashing with a strong silver light, which was a hundred times stronger than the martial arts light on Li Jianglong's body, almost to the point of being dazzling!

At that moment, Li Ximing felt as if he had discovered a demon beside his bed. His hair stood on end, and countless terrifying conjectures emerged in his mind. A strong sense of crisis rushed to his face, and he almost jumped up from where he was:

'What? ! ’
