Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1132 Cultivation (1+12) (Qianlongwuyong Golden Alliance plus 3113)

"oh…"

Li Ximing was shocked. After drinking three cups, the woman in front of him stopped drinking. She put down the long-necked jade pot, glanced at him, and said with a smile:

"How does it taste?"

The real man exhaled and replied:

"The taste is not strong, but the alcohol is strong."

Kuang Yu sat down beside him, laughed again, and said:
"It is originally a spiritual resource, which can make one forget worries and enchant the mind. It is not wine in essence, so it is refined instead of brewed. In the past, Qingxuan cultivators liked this cup a lot. As long as the lower cultivators drank one cup, they would immediately fall to the ground and wake up without knowing when."

Li Ximing drank another cup, feeling the powerful power of his magical powers being quickly mobilized, but he closed his eyes slightly and smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Yin has something on his mind, why not mention it?"

Kuang Yu raised his sleeves, the color in his eyes gradually faded, and he became more decisive, and said with a smile:
"Do you understand...the whole story of the Dao of Xiuyue?"

Li Ximing took a sip of wine and said:
"Please give me some advice."

The woman stood up from her seat, put her hands behind her back, walked forward silently, and said:

"'Xiu Yue', whose real name is 'Zhi Bei', is a planet in the sky. He was born when the order of the stars was disordered. Those who ask about Yue in the world will change at the junction of Yin and Yang. This person likes to be perverse and to instigate. If there is a change of dynasty, a civil uprising, or the killing of a general, this star will flatter him."

Li Ximing seemed to be thinking about something, but the woman said quietly:
"Before the ancient Zhou Dynasty, there was another generation named [Xia]. They used wind and thunder as their totems and belonged to the Thunder Palace. When the Thunder Palace collapsed, the Zhou Dynasty rose. The various countries were in turmoil. The Thunder Palace collapsed, and this kind of people were unruly and unruly. Many of them were scattered among the people. Then there were people who cultivated Yue and instigated the various countries to shake the world and ascend to the throne of gold."

"But at that time, all the ancient cultivators in the world thought that this was an ominous sign. There were too many wars, so some started with Geng, and some started with Xuan. They refused to seek justice, and gradually withered away. Until the True Lord at the top was surrounded and killed, he suddenly died. In the same year, the King of Zhou obtained the 'Shang Yi' and had the third True Lord. He then established rituals and divided the world, and the chaotic times ended."

Although the other party did not say it directly, the meaning was already very clear. Li Ximing raised his cup, a trace of clarity flashed between his brows, and he raised his eyebrows and said:
"It turns out to be 'Shang Yi'."

Kuang Yu understood what he meant and said with a smile:

"That's right. At that time, Shangyi was the nemesis of Zhibei. But when this sect was declining to the extreme, a True Lord of Qingxuan Sect unexpectedly took the lead... He was called Zhidu. He did not practice Zhibei or the five elements, but Yin and Yang. He achieved enlightenment with a method of seeking gold that was difficult for the world to understand. He was called Zhiyangduyin, so he became Yue."

"From then on, this path gradually became docile and assimilated into the immortal path, and was renamed 'Xiu Yue'. It was also much better to 'Shang Yi'. This True Lord lived in seclusion and rarely went out. It was only heard that he rebuilt Qingsong Temple. It is unknown when he died."

At this point, she raised her eyebrows, as if trying to figure out what he meant, and said quietly:

"This True Lord... Daoist friends should be familiar with him."

Li Ximing frowned and shook his head.

Kuang Yu hesitated for a moment and replied:

"He... is the earliest descendant of the Yuan Mansion lineage. I'm afraid today's King Wei has a close relationship with him!"

Li Ximing's heart suddenly shook, and he asked:

"how you said that?"

Kuang Yu said quietly:

"I have heard of a legend that this True Lord was cultivating in Qingsong Temple. A disciple once went down the mountain to practice and reported to him, saying, "Nowadays, the yin and yang of the world are not harmonious, and the great way is in chaos. My way is to balance the yin and yang, and we should make a plan."

"This True Lord then said: [Last year, when I passed by Mount Xiao, I saw a magnificent aura like a canopy, with auspicious aura swirling around. An emperor will emerge, the King of Mingyang.]"

"The disciples asked for the method to balance yin and yang, but the Master was silent. He calculated with his fingers. The disciples bowed and begged for several days. The Master took out a treasure from his sleeve, looked at it again and again, and said, "It's a pity that the master's things will be lost to the people." Then he gently threw it down the mountain and sank it into the endless sea. He opened his mouth again and said:"

"【Emperor Mingyang will be punished.】"

Li Ximing felt a chill rushing to his mind. He stood up in disbelief and said:
"Qing Xuan? How is that possible?"

Kuang Yu looked somewhat sad, and replied:

"This legend is widely spread. Even though my family is a royal family of Wei, we still heard it clearly. However, no one is willing to believe it, and no one knows what the treasure is. In fact, this treasure was once obtained by the Emperor of Wei and suppressed in the palace. When Wei was destroyed, it was circulated among the people. After many twists and turns, it fell into Qingxuan's hands again."

But the man in front of her could not listen to her words. When Wei was destroyed, all the details before and after pointed to Tong Xuan. How could Li Ximing believe that it was the Qing Xuan cultivator who did it? After a long silence, the woman did not give him a chance to breathe. She took a step forward, stared into his eyes, and said:

"But there is a record of this treasure in Qusi Mountain...Do you know what treasure it is?"

Li Ximing hesitated and shook his head.

She said:

"See Yanghuan."

The real person's pupils dilated and he stared at the woman, his heart shaking:
"The Yang-Seeing Ring... How could it be the Yang-Seeing Ring... This thing was personally handed over to me by my family... Although I was still in seclusion at that time..."

His heart was like a landslide, and he suddenly recalled the woman's words about her close relationship with Li Zhouwei. Li Xijun's face reappeared in his mind:

'When the [Jianyang Ring] saw the immortal weapon, it shone with infinite brilliance, like the sun shining on the earth, with thousands of bright rays of light, the ground was covered with yellow sand, orioles chirped, deer cried, and green hills and grass and trees all blossomed... It was as if the bright sun was in the world!'

"When I was condensing the immortal foundation, there were many golden illusions. The immortal foundation spontaneously condensed, dozens of times faster than my efforts..."

'There are words written on the [Jianyang Ring], [Qingsongguan Lujiangxian]...'

Li Ximing raised his head and whispered:
"The Emperor of Wei has not yet fallen..."

"Yes."

"His prediction was not about the destruction of Wei in the past, but about the near future..."

The woman poured the wine somewhat dejectedly and said softly:
"Yes, my master thought that the fall of Wei was caused by Tongxuan. That True Lord had predicted it long ago. And [Seeing Yang Ring] can guide Mingyang's preference and give birth to the destiny. [Emperor Mingyang will be punished.]...refers to the current King of Wei."

"The only one who would kill him would be the King of Wei."

Li Ximing lowered his eyebrows, remained silent, and replied:
"So that's how it is... The Jian Yang Ring... will definitely end up in my house. Only with this item can there be the King of Wei. The situation in the world is not that Ming Yang and Zhen Qi collided by chance, but after layers of arrangements, they will definitely collide..."

"The Yinsi needs to break the order in Jiangbei and even the north and rebuild the true qi, and Mingyang's enlightenment is the key to Luoxia's willingness to give up the order to Song State... The two families each get what they need... and they are linked together..."

He held the cup in his hand for a long time without saying anything, as if he had other thoughts in mind, muttering:
"There is no such thing as an accident... With the thin bloodline of my ancestors and the absence of Yang Huan, how could we have a son of Ming Yang like Zhou Wei! The continuation of my family is to raise him."

Kuang Yu sipped his wine without saying anything. He waited for the other party to digest his words and regain his composure before saying:
"'Xiu Yue' was proven once again. He is the one who achieved enlightenment after Liang was destroyed... I don't need to tell you which path he took..."

In ancient times, monks could call each other whatever they wanted, but nowadays, it is not convenient to say more. Kuang Yu pursed her lips and stared at him. Li Ximing sighed slightly. How could he not understand? He replied:

"Your meaning, fellow Daoist... The current situation of King Wei is quite beneficial to you."

Kuang Yu stared at him and said calmly:
"Yes, it's not just me."

“The imagery of Xiuyue is diverse, and the tradition is obscure. Even the disciple taught by Master Yingze had to rely on Liangmie to achieve enlightenment. Although my sect has four nearly complete magical traditions, it does not have the teachings of the True Lord of Xiuyue Sect. If I don’t take this opportunity, it will be difficult for me to cultivate a few magical powers in my lifetime, let alone surpass Shenzi!”

She looked determined and gritted her teeth:
"My younger brother who is now in seclusion and breaking through... is also practicing 'Xiu Yue'. This matter does not benefit only me. Xiu Yue monks are my arms and are very useful in usurping power!"

Li Ximing was silent for a long time, realizing that the Taoist master Qu Si had made more than one move, or in other words, while fulfilling his own wish to seek the Tao, he did not owe Qu Si anything - if he could support two cultivators in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, or even those with the potential to become Purple Palace cultivators... with Taoist master Liao Luo assisting in the transition, both Qu Si Mountain and the Yin family would have no worries for five hundred years!
He silently poured out the wine from the jade pot, barely filling a cup, and whispered:
"What can I do to help you, fellow Taoist?"

But he saw that the woman in front of him moved her hands, which had been behind her back for a long time, and handed the jade talisman in her sleeve to him. She loosened her fingers and it fell on the table with a clink.

Li Ximing picked it up gently, and clenched his hand holding the jade talisman suddenly. As his spiritual consciousness was injected, a vast amount of information poured into his mind, lingering and gathering, condensing into several large characters:
[The law of the interaction between yin and yang].

He was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows like lightning.

Kuang Yu pursed her lips and suddenly bent down. Her face was so close that she could vaguely see the blue-purple reflection in her eyes and smell a faint fragrance.

She gritted her teeth and said:

"I'll borrow your imagery for a moment."

This sentence exploded in his mind, and all the information before and after became one. Li Ximing's mood suddenly became complicated, and he stared blankly at the real person in front of him.

"So this is the method of borrowing... the way of matching yin and yang..."

Li Ximing was not unfamiliar with it. His earliest practice was partly based on this way. However, as his cultivation progressed, the Li family at that time could not find a foundation-building cultivator to practice with him. When he became a Purple Mansion cultivator, it became even more impossible!
Although Ming Yang had this benefit, he threw it out of his mind. As a Purple Mansion cultivator, he had lived through endless fantasies and had given up desires long ago. From the beginning to the end, he had no improper thoughts about Kuang Yu in front of him...

He stood there in a daze. Kuang Yu's pupils were clear in front of him, but after he said this, he was left with only confusion.

The atmosphere in the cave was stagnant for a moment. Yin Xinyu seemed to have misunderstood his meaning. Her face turned slightly pale. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the man in front of her pinch the jade talisman, put it in her hand, and said with a smile:
"You and I can each take what we need."

Kuang Yu nodded unhappily, but his expression was obviously relieved. He turned around on tiptoe, still not looking at him, and listened to Li Ximing saying with a smile:

"It's just a training. If you hesitate for a moment... it would make me look disrespectful."

This sentence obviously eased the other party's nervousness. Kuang Yu turned around and said through gritted teeth:

"You take me for granted, and I don't know what's in your mind. I've always heard that you're good with this guy and that guy, and Tinglan also says you're good. If you have a crush on someone and have some grudges, I'd be asking for trouble if I come up with something without thinking. The matters of the orthodox tradition can't be publicized at will. If some of my words are spread out, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself even if I have a mouth full of words."

Li Ximing just shook his head and said:

"No wonder you were talking about those Ziyin things."

Kuang Yu was already embarrassed, and when he brought it up again, he immediately picked up the jade talisman, threw it into his arms, and said:
"Just practice what you want!"

Li Ximing laughed, raised it with one hand, lifted the wine pot, filled both jade cups, held the cups, and said with bright eyes:

"It's not necessary to be particular about anything. After drinking this cup, you don't remember my kindness, and I don't remember your kindness. We each go our own way and just practice."

Kuang Yu stared at him blankly, his eyes became complicated, and the smile on his face faded. He raised his glass solemnly and said softly:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The two looked at each other, drank together, and were silent for a long time. Li Ximing had the power of life and resolved it very quickly. At this time, he only felt a little warmth and smiled:

"I came here to ask you for some Lu Shui, but I almost forgot why I came!"

Kuang Yu listened carefully to his purpose and immediately took out a jade box from her sleeve. It was covered with white smoke and looked quite magical. The woman said softly:
"This is Tangyi Lushui, a great gift given to me by Sister Hengxing when I became enlightened. You can use it, but it cannot be brought near fire. Be careful to keep it. If you let it fly away... it will be very difficult to find it."

Li Ximing nodded repeatedly, put it away, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

"You're so polite."

The effect of this spiritual resource was not strong. Kuang Yu had regained his composure at this moment and sent him all the way to the hall. The heavy rain outside still did not stop. He listened to the man politely saying:

"I will study it carefully and come back after March."

"Oh oh oh."

Kuang Yu closed the door of the hall and hurried back to the cave. She pushed open the stone door and went all the way to the innermost part. The magic lamps were extinguished one by one. She lay down on the couch and quietly stared at the faint light flashing on the edge of the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, she sat up and looked at her fair face in the mirror with a calm gaze:
"Not bad."

……

The rain was drizzling. Li Ximing took a few steps on the steps outside the palace. He had more thoughts in his mind and thought to himself:

'Di Yan mentioned that Kuang Yu was a member of the Qu Si Daoist school... which means that he actually wanted to protect this woman. The meaning of Yin Jue's practice of "Xiu Yue" and Kuang Yu's practice of "Xiu Yue" is completely different...'

'Yin Juexi practiced "Xiu Yue" in order to use his status to quickly improve his strength under Zhou Wei... and to help Zhou Wei. As for whether he could save it, the great master didn't care...'

"And Kuang Yu... is the support he left for the Yin family, so he can keep his distance from Tingzhou and seek the greatest benefits..."

Each family has its own calculations, and Li Ximing does not mind this. It is precisely because he sees this that he made the agreement just now.

But after sorting out his calculations one by one, he felt a little uneasy. He lowered his brows and looked at the rain falling outside. He was silent for a while, standing with his hands behind his back:
"Daoyan's elixir requires both Lushui and Fushui, so it's just right that I can use the Guanghu Array Furnace of the Fushui Danzhu Technique in Zhentao Prefecture. I can spend some time here to refine the elixir, and then I can go back to Xinyu."

But I heard a happy voice:
"Meet the real person!"

Then he saw a woman kneeling down in front of the steps. She was dressed in white and had a round face. She raised her eyebrows to look at him. She was not dressed in anything too bright, except for a hairpin. She actually had a sense of majesty and gentleness. Li Ximing praised her and said with a smile:

"Que Yi is becoming more and more handsome!"

Li Queyi smiled politely, stood up, and said respectfully:

"I have been traveling on the sea for many years and cannot serve the clan. I feel very guilty!"

"Eh."

Li Ximing waved his hand and said:
"I heard that you send gifts home every year and consult with your brother Jiangzong on trade matters. It's good enough that you have the intention. It's better than those who stay in Jiangnan and don't come back for more than ten years."

Obviously, as the two daughters who left Wangyue Lake at the same time, Li Ximing would naturally think of Li Quexi whenever he saw Li Queyi. With such a faint smile, Li Queyi broke out in a cold sweat and bowed:
"As a Purple Smoke cultivator, Que Xi has received personal instruction, so she must be very busy... I heard... she often sends letters home..."

Li Queyi has gone through ups and downs overseas for decades and has been transformed into a decisive and capable person. Perhaps when she was still a little girl, she envied Li Quexi, but now it has turned into a feeling of disappointment. However, she still hopes that her sister can rely on Tingzhou.

Li Ximing waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to mention it anymore. He took a step with his hands behind his back and asked:
"I heard a few days ago that Jianghuai had recovered nearly half of the area and that they wanted to send someone to hold Xuan. How would Sima Xun respond?"

Li Queyi considered:

"My husband resigned from this matter and gave it to Chen."

Everyone knows this. Chen Yin is the most anxious now, and he must have cut off the benefits. But even if it doesn't work this time, Sima Xun will probably be the next one. Li Ximing asked:

"Will Sima Xun be nice to you? Are there any troubles on the island? If my girl is bullied by someone, I will not forgive him."

After hearing this, Li Queyi's eyebrows flashed with gratitude, and he smiled and said:
"My husband has been devoted to me for many years and dotes on me. As for the island...sometimes the earth veins on it are turbulent, especially violently, and I always have to leave the island to deal with it. The rest of the time it is very stable."

Li Ximing finally felt relieved and nodded in response. His figure turned into light and disappeared, traveling through the void. He left this place and headed eastward, gazing at the vast ocean. A thoughtful expression gradually appeared on his face:
"The land veins of Xinyu have been around for a while. I heard Tinglan mention it several times... saying that a cultivator had made a breakthrough... and also said something about a community immortal."

Thinking of this, he stopped suddenly, raised his eyebrows and looked at the ocean under his feet. He thought for a moment, then his escape light changed and he sank into it.

This sea area is not rich in spiritual energy, and almost all of it is concentrated on this island. However, it traveled to the bottom of the sea in a moment. Li Ximing took a careful look, drew out the light of Liuhe, and counted with his fingers, but found nothing unusual.

But just this calculation made him, who had been holding a casual attitude, suddenly become alert.

"Since I just said that there are changes in the earth veins on the island, there must be some evil spirits and fire leaking out somewhere. How can there be no abnormality? No abnormality is the biggest abnormality!"

He pretended to be calm, laughed and shook his head, but in fact his mind was moving:
【Check the secrets】!
The view in front of him suddenly became wider, and the overlapping rock layers disappeared in an instant. The array base that was glowing with purple light first appeared in front of him, and soon disappeared as his vision progressed.

But underneath this purple-glowing array base, there was actually a void of light!

At the bottom of this formation, there are no earth veins or evil fires, only another void like the sky and the earth, with a point of light falling in the endless light!

When his eyes fell on the light, Li Ximing felt that there was endless lava rolling before his eyes, and he could see nothing but the light. The feeling of coolness emerged in time, and he drove all the way from Shengyang Mansion. The soreness and numbness gradually faded away, and then he could see the light clearly!
The color of the light was extremely strange, somewhat brownish-yellow all over, like a flame shining through a small hole. It became increasingly blurry towards the edge, while the small hole was extremely bright, illuminating a myriad of colors!

Sometimes the earth and rocks change shape, and the evil magnets separate; sometimes the five colors overlap and merge into gods. Looking at the colors again, ghosts and gods appear, holding knives and halberds, with infinitely fierce looks. There are also kings offering sacrifices, slaughtering cattle and sheep, and heaven and earth are united...

This point of light seems as big as the heaven and earth, and as small as dust, but one can faintly see that there are countless gods pressing down on the light, all with a look of support, eyes like lightning, and awe-inspiring immortal power.

It was this ordinary light, which seemed not even the size of a palm, that caused Li Ximing's heart to surge with turbulent waves, and his mind was forcibly blank.

Li Ximing seemed to be seized by an unprecedented strong impulse.

'this…'

Endless and boundless desire and awe rose from the void. A moment seemed to last forever. He saw the sun and the moon falling, the mountains and the sea hanging upside down, as if an infinite past was falling past him and into the dark void.

The desire was overwhelming, beyond all desires, and constantly gathered in his mind. He didn't need anyone to tell him, nor did he need any comparison, just like a cat seeing a tiger or a snake seeing a dragon.

These desires finally form one thought.

'【Golden Nature】'

'【Proclaim the nature of earth and metal】'

The ever-changing light and colors seemed to be able to speak, pouring out the great principles one by one without reservation, and telling the mysteries of heaven and earth:

"If you take it away... you can be reincarnated... you can be invincible in the world... you can control all living things... you can establish gods..."

But he just felt a chill running all the way to the back of his head.

"What cultivators' breakthroughs, what earth veins' trembling... all of this is because there is a gold essence here! A gold essence that is enough to make all the purple mansion cultivators in the world excited! "

'Whose golden nature is this? It's so terrifying that a special formation is set up to seal it up! Could it be that there are so many great masters in the Sun Sect... but no one can use it? What is the relationship between him and the Sun Sect! '

However, the cool feeling in Shengyang Mansion that changed from a trickle to a rolling river did not change his expression and movements at all. He pretended to laugh and shook his head, then stepped into Taixu.

'The most important thing is... it's nothing else but "Xuan Tu"! She Tu, one of the two Tus of Sheji in ancient times... Until now, few people dare to cultivate She Tu. What a courage... What a powerful ability!'

I don't know how far I stepped out of Taixu, I floated up and headed eastward. It seemed like thousands of miles had passed, and I saw an island emerging from the sea. Its shape was rugged and irregular, and various cultivators rose and fell.

It is the [Lulai Islands] where [Zhentao Prefecture] is located!
But at this moment, the real person's heart was not at peace at all, and he was terrified:
"No wonder... No wonder..."

It was the first time that Li Ximing saw this thing with his own eyes. Not to mention how great the temptation of a piece of gold was intellectually, just by looking at this thing, he actually had the feeling of looking directly into the secrets of the boundless universe and witnessing the endless method of seeking gold!
'No wonder when the Golden Nature appeared in An Huai Tian, ​​all the immortals, demons and Mahas in the sky were eclipsed, leaving behind all their power and distinctions, and fled into the cave without hesitation... Golden Nature... This is the Golden Nature...'

Apart from the demons, all the Purple Mansion cultivators have already passed the stage of boundless fantasy and have extraordinary minds, yet they are still so impulsive...

"If this piece of Xuantu Jinxing fell into the human world, it would be able to refine a divine realm and fairyland on the spot!"
