Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1123: Change
Faint light of water flickered on the collapsed stone wall. The huge snake body on the mural was winding and mottled. The shadow of the great immortal was dancing slightly on the wreckage.

The smile on Sui Guan’s face grew wider.

At the same time, the entire demon palace hidden in the reflection began to tremble, and rolling green water light rushed out from every crevice in the stone, and began to climb up along the collapsed stone pillars, like countless green snakes!
These green snakes crisscrossed and climbed on each other, and long wings broke out from their backs. They spread their wings and flew away, making rustling sounds. The reflection of the entire sea area trembled and rose, with overlapping colors, as if they would break through the surface of the water at any time and drag the two people here.

Even more deadly was the melodious music echoing in the reflection, gurgling and thumping, tear-jerking, and interlaced responses.

But the two people on the sea were unaware.

There was a moment of doubt in Sui Guan's eyes. He put his hands behind his back and remained silent. All the strange visions disappeared in an instant, and the water light fell on the broken walls again.

'illusion…?'

From his observation of the "sound of the cave spring" and the magical feeling he borrowed from this place, it is definitely not something that can be ignored if one does not want to react. Even if Li Ximing is a great immortal, as long as he can see and hear it, he will definitely be moved.

'No response...'

'Am I overthinking it... or did he really sense my gaze just now?'

Now is not the time to reveal this place to the outside world. If it was Li Zhouwei who came, Sui Guan would be able to understand it, whether it was fate or powerful eyes. But Li Ximing... would be interesting.

'That's also inappropriate. Although the Xingyu Palace is now in ruins, I am under the Chouguizang. It is not easy for them to detect my gaze...'

The man's purple eyes moved and he remained silent for a long time.

'This guy has now also cultivated the life-saving divine power, 'The World is Bright'... Could it be that he has this kind of induction?'

He thought for a moment, and a murderous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Du Qingzang, I have been here for some time... I haven't seen Chi Buzi come, but Li Ximing has appeared... Li Ximing... is a test for Wangyue Lake."

"According to Mr. Du's plan... if it's not Chi Buzi... there's no need to worry about it, but Li Ximing... might be in cahoots with that guy... Whether he has seen me or not, since he is here, it's safer to get rid of him and give them a warning."

His pair of purple eyes looked around wantonly and wandered casually, shuttling back and forth slowly but actually quickly, following closely behind the two people on the water, staring at the man like a ghost.

But although Xiaoguangyu Mountain was big, it could not withstand the rapid progress of the two real people. Sui Guan had already stopped at the edge of the reflection, his face turned cold, and he took half a step forward hesitantly.

He took only half a step and the water light collapsed, infinite colors surged, and the whole world trembled violently, as if the mountains were collapsing and the demon palace was crumbling, as if giving him a cold warning.

The great master's brows became more and more indifferent. He watched the two magical powers disappear into the sky, then he quietly withdrew his feet and his expression became calm again:

"The guy named Du... can't we just kill him too..."

Sui Guan squinted his eyes and watched for a long time, then turned around, stepped down from the air, and stood beside the throne again. He remained silent for a long time, until the sky outside was completely dark, then he quietly sat on the throne and said lightly:

"Do you think it will alert the enemy? Why, Lord Lushui, is Chi Buzi himself more dangerous than the layout of the underworld and the Yuan Mansion?"

As he finished speaking, the faint glow of green water began to meander along the ruins, illuminating the countless treasures and gold objects buried underground. Sui Guan stared coldly, and after a long while, he murmured:
"The real dragon is approaching, and this is the only time that the dragon clan relaxes their guard against Lu Wei. Du Qing, Du Qing... you actually look down on the arrangements of the various families, and you only set up strict defenses against that Chi... Isn't it really... putting the cart before the horse?"

But this reflected world was extremely silent. The radiance of the green water rose, illuminating the world in a pale blue. The only things that responded to him were the cold sound of flowing water and the changing clarity and turbidity lurking in the sky.

……

The moon is bright and clear.

There were pine trees in the mountains and cool breezes blowing. Li Ximing landed on the gate of someone else's mountain. Seeing the Purple Mansion Array being locked, he felt like he had survived a calamity and secretly pushed the magic weapon.

'That damn thing... never followed me.'

He watched the Sui Guan float to his feet, and immediately lost his sense of wonder. He had no idea what happened afterwards, but that didn't mean he had no feelings in his heart...

God knows how many thoughts came to Li Ximing's mind during this short journey - why was Sui Guan here? Was it arranged by that True Lord? If he was caught... who knows what would happen!
"The palace of Longzi back then... was also the Lushui Golden Pill... it contained so many secrets..."

What may have made him feel even more chilled was Sui Guan’s reaction.

"How can you be so sensitive..."

Li Ximing used the Immortal Mirror to investigate, and what he saw in essence was the Immortal Mirror instead of him, Li Ximing! It was impossible to make any substantive judgment based on the movement of his eyes alone.

'I'm afraid he saw me passing by here and tried to test me...'

Even Qingchi's own family members were scared of this demonic Sui Guan. Li Ximing now deeply understood this, but still felt a headache and cursed secretly:

"I will go back now and never leave Xiaoguangyu Mountain!"

He forced himself to calm down, looked around, and found that he had arrived at a Taoist temple. However, there were no monks in sight. It seemed that the mountains were very quiet and there were few people. However, there was an old Taoist priest who came out to greet him.

The man was dressed in plain clothes with heavy gold patterns on the cuffs, which looked particularly bright in the night. There was a faint circle of colorful halo behind his head, which illuminated his kind eyes and extraordinary demeanor.

But he was very old, his face was full of vicissitudes, and he seemed to be injured. He said hurriedly:

"【Xing Mercury Platform】Daomian, I greet your highness!"

Li Ximing took a quick glance and gradually understood that the person in front of him was a "Quan Dan" cultivator in the early stage of Purple Mansion, and should have possessed two magical powers.

"Is this the [Hydrogen Platform]?"

Li Ximing was quite surprised. He looked at the barren mountain below him and realized that the other party might have even had the mountain gate stolen, which led to their end. He sighed:

"Senior, your words are too sincere!"

Then he smiled and said:
"I also have a younger generation in my family who is practicing the 'Complete Pill' and is about to make a breakthrough. Who knows, we may have more opportunities to communicate in the future!"

Liu Changdie specially hooked up with Shangxing Mercury Platform for him, but it was not just for some spiritual resources and spiritual objects... The "Quandan" sect attached great importance to teacher-student relationship, Taoist tradition, and spiritual objects, and had long been paving the way for his own Que Wan.

Daoming listened to his words, nodded with surprise, and replied:
"Excellent...Excellent..."

[Xing Mercury Platform] The Taoist tradition was at its most desolate time, and the savings of countless generations had been exchanged, but it still had a sense of lingering on... How could I not be surprised to hear this? Even the vicissitudes on my face faded.

Master Baoxiang led him inside and seemed to want to make some tea. However, after Li Ximing had been frightened by Xiao Guangyu Mountain, he had already thought of a quick victory and asked:

"I'm sure you know why I'm here... I don't know if this [Wall Sinking Water]..."

Dao Ming clasped his hands and said:

"This matter is not difficult in the West Sea... Combining the methods in my Taoist tradition, there are many places where it can be produced. Although most of them are lost now, I can ask a few Taoist friends to communicate with them, and it will not be difficult to deal with it..."

Li Ximing sighed inwardly and said:
"It would be best if we could take one pool a year... probably around a hundred portions."

"One... pond per year?!"

Daoyan knew that it would take a lot for the Purple Mansion to come here, and one pond was not much... The scary thing was that it only took one pond a year! He looked thoughtful and tried:

"This is a bit troublesome. I wonder what you will give me in exchange?"

Li Ximing said seriously:

"The two places are far apart. I will send a real person to travel back and forth. Whenever I come here, I will provide you with spiritual resources of equal value, to compensate you for your hard work and material transformation... You can ask for alchemy or purple mansion spiritual resources."

Daoyan didn't seem to have much desire for spiritual resources, and sighed:

"The West Sea is not like the East Sea. I will try to gather all the spiritual water. I hope you can give me some time. As for compensation... it will be for the injuries on my body..."

"I was beaten and burned, and I haven't recovered yet. I asked many people to see me, but they didn't see any improvement. They said that I don't need to be cured, but to be nourished, and I need pills."

Li Ximing gradually understood what was going on, and said with a smile:

"I practiced the 'Complete Pill' and I know all the changes. I used spiritual objects to make medicine and took it, but it's not as powerful as refining the pill. Please take a look."

He took out a piece of silk from his sleeve. It was covered with golden characters. Li Ximing read it over and over again:
"what?"

Li Ximing's current alchemy cultivation is extremely high. After seeing the Quan Dan Xuan Yan, his heart was filled with light and inspiration. He was very excited and sighed:
"Daoyou...you are amazing!"

Dao Ming was not surprised and said:
"You are too kind... Quan Dan knows everything about the transformation of things, so he has some skills. There have been many people who are good at making pills since ancient times, but they may not be able to write down pill recipes for later generations to make. Half of the pill recipes that have been passed down... were written by Quan Dan cultivators. I also have a rough understanding of the art of making pills, but I cannot compare with you."

This recipe uses the spiritual resource of [Female Water], matches it with the transformation of Lu Water, then soaks it in the spiritual water of Fu Water for nourishment, and finally refines it into a medicine. The preparation is extremely complex and ingenious. If correct, it may be able to harmonize the three virtues of water and produce an effect far exceeding the spiritual resource itself. Although it is not difficult in itself, it is very likely that you will fail repeatedly and get nothing if you have to figure out the proportions. No wonder he didn't try it.

Li Ximing thought of the [Heavenly Heart and Oneness Pill Method], and this secret technique came in handy at this time... With the help of this method, the difficulty of this method was immediately greatly reduced. He was even more excited about the prey, so he said straightforwardly:
"I will refine it for you, and you will provide the spiritual resources... As for [Wall-sinking Water]... I will need six pools!"

He naturally would not calculate by years. After all, the later it is, the harder it will be to collect. If time passes, it may take two or three years to collect all the materials. Dao Mian estimated secretly and nodded:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

After settling the matter, Li Ximing said:
"Where is that Xiao Guangkong Mountain?"

Master Baoxiang on the side immediately said:
"We still need to go west, but it's not a famous place. It's the abbot of De'ai Temple who is trying to gain fame and shamelessly went to Xiaoguangyu Mountain..."

Li Ximing doubted:
"I heard it's a temple... Is it related to Buddhism?"

Bao Xiang did not notice his abnormality and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. The reason why it's called [De'ai Temple] is because the [Abbot of the Lynx] was once oppressed by a Maha of the Kongwu Dao for many years. He managed to escape during the turmoil and has been holding a grudge ever since... so he built this [De'ai Temple], sent monks as slaves, and plundered nuns as concubines. He only likes this."

This made Li Ximing look a little weird. He was about to say something but stopped himself. Then he saw Bao Xiang talking casually as if he was talking about something ordinary:
"He likes to eat human hearts, and often sends nuns from the temple to seduce people to have sex with him. He does his best to make love with them three times. When the person's blood is hot, he immediately digs out the heart, soaks it in ice water, and then cuts it into thin slices. When you eat it with chopsticks, it is fresh, fragrant, crisp and very delicious. Fortunately, he doesn't often kill people and drink blood. He keeps himself clean and has a good reputation. People often call him a good person."

Li Ximing listened and shook his head, and replied:
"What a kind man."

Perhaps he understood the meaning of his words, Bao Xiang glanced at the real person on the side and said:

"The West Sea is barren. If you stand high, your food and clothing will inevitably be stained with blood. If the lynx ignores the people below, De'ai Temple will be less stained with blood..."

Baoxiang was young after all, and Daoming immediately came to his aid after hearing this, saying:

"Each realm has its own rules. When the Yuan Mansion was in existence, even entering the world to rule was nominally considered an act of demonic cultivation. It is really hard to tell the difference."

Li Ximing didn't expect that his casual remark would lead to such an explanation from the two of them, and said with a smile:

"Zhao Jing does not have the ability to correct moral problems everywhere... I wonder how much ability and friends the lynx has?"

It was only at this moment that Dao Mian's eyes began to show some hatred, and he said:
"This monster has a lot of connections. He is a good friend of Chi Xu, a Purple Mansion mid-stage cultivator from Xifu Dongyuan Sect. This is the most troublesome thing. It may involve several Purple Mansions. Even if we pick a time when they are out, there is Chi Xu who stays in the sect all year round. He must be dealt with."

"There is also an old demon in the early stage of Purple Mansion in [Fangyazhou]. In addition, Taoist Xie Hu in the middle stage of Purple Mansion in [Tanpingmo] also owes him a favor... Maybe there are more..."

Hearing these names, Li Ximing suddenly felt a headache. After all, Baoxiang kept silent, so Daoming, who had a grudge against him, spoke up. It was obvious that he was unwilling to intervene:
"If we get so many people together... it's hard to say whether it will succeed. It will definitely be a huge fight, with people from all directions coming to fight..."

He remained silent, but Dao Mian spoke, whispering:

"Fellow Daoist, if you have made up your mind, although Daoming is injured and can't take action, he knows an old enemy of [Xifu Dongyuan Sect], named [Yinyu], who can stop [Chixu]."

Li Ximing nodded slightly, and some thoughts came to his mind. He asked about the news of another person in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, and said:
"What kind of person is Taoist Xie Hu?"

Dao Mian sighed:

"He is one of the few righteous people. Although he practices 'upper witchcraft', he has a heart of a wild goose and does not touch blood. Although he does not like this lynx, he attaches great importance to friendship and promises... Even my good friends usually cannot be persuaded."

He looked worried, and did not deliberately encourage because of his hatred, but reminded:
"He is the most powerful figure in the West Sea in recent years, and his cultivation has progressed very quickly. If you insist on killing someone in front of him, you will definitely offend him badly... I'm afraid it won't be a good thing in the future..."

After listening to this, Li Ximing had already made a plan, but he smiled and said:
"That's easy! I have a way to stop him from doing it."

ps: [Abbot Lynx] is located in [Deai Temple]. The [Baiyan Temple] that appeared once in the previous article is another one and has been changed.
