Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1179 Daling
"【Vast Flame】..."

When it comes to spiritual fire, Li Ximing can be said to be a master. As soon as [Vast Flame] appeared, he felt the unique beauty of this fire.

'It actually has a hint of smoke and sand... rare!'

The Purple Palace Spirit Fire is a treasure wherever it goes. He was quite envious of it and wanted to use the Qi to refine it immediately to try out its magic. He restrained his impulse and touched a wisp of Qi to check it out.

Li Jiangqian also looked at it for a while and had a good impression. However, when he saw that the other party did not mention the power, he smiled and said:

"Since it is mixed with his Dao, I am afraid that the power that the righteous fire should have... will be inferior."

Ji An immediately stretched out two fingers and gently knocked on the incense burner. A special jade-like brown-yellow flame jumped out immediately. The boiling fireworks swept across the sky, creating a vast expanse above the sky of the jade platform!
The desert was blazing with flames, and the light turned into sand of a pale yellow color. The smoke and sand rolled in, and the evil fire turned into fog, revealing a brown jade light. As the amount of magical power he input into it increased, it continued to expand, casting a vast shadow on the ground.

For a moment, the whole area was shaken, and the white-clothed disciples of the Chunyi sect raised their heads one after another, looking at the Lihuo Desert with a strong aura of destruction above the sky in horror or shock!
Che Hong shook his head and tried to comfort his disciples helplessly, while Ji An smiled and said:

"It's not bad, this fire is what I got when I became rich. I relied on it to get out of Jieyu Land and travel around the world. I have also cultivated it for many years. If it weren't for the flood in Cangzhou that destroyed the image, and the nourishing method I carefully arranged became an obstacle, the quality of this fire would be excellent now."

He paused for a moment, fearing that the two would overthink things, and immediately made a promise:
"Despite this, my foundation is solid now. My power is in the middle of the pack among the Lihuo. What matters is that it is vast and as vast as the desert. With this miraculous blessing, I can be in the upper middle level when fighting against the enemy."

After watching for a while, Li Ximing had an idea in his mind:
'I'm afraid it's similar to [Red Pheasant Rushing Out of Flame].'

[Red Pheasant Chongli Flame] was also obtained by him many years ago. If one were to compare their power, it is slightly inferior to [Vast Desolate Flame]. After all, the emphasis of [Red Pheasant Chongli Flame] lies in its natural spirituality, which cannot be increased or decreased.

"Not bad!"

The fire from the sky poured down, condensed in Ji An's hand, and turned into a finger-sized, jade-like flame again. Li Jiangqian finally showed a little excitement on his face. He stood up, gently took it, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, senior! The spiritual energy of the 'Da Li Shu' is the [Ming Li Chi Jing]. I will have someone send it to Chun Yi Dao when I return to the lake!"

Ji An smiled cheerfully and said politely:

"It's okay...it won't make a difference for a day or two."

The event was over, the host and the guests were all happy. Ji An's elixir was not ready yet, and he wanted to be friends with him, so he stayed by his side. However, Li Ximing had already intended to leave, but when the truth was revealed, he looked thoughtful, looked at Che Hong, and sighed:

"【Qing Yin Mother Medicine】 is very rare, and many Taiyin spiritual objects also rely on chance. I have some information, but I am afraid that I will not be able to know it and be deceived by others. Why not... take a look at the secrets of the Taoist diagrams."

He did not give Che Hong a chance to speak, and immediately said:

"I would like to make up for it with other books!"

There were too many times when spiritual resources would be needed, so Li Ximing became reserved. He took out a jade slip that recorded the outline of some of the family's exercises from his sleeve and stuffed it into Che Hong's hand.

The Taoist scriptures in the Li family are very extensive. The Taoist wanted to refuse, but after a quick look, he was shocked. He swallowed the words in his mouth and said awkwardly:
"If I don't accept it, fellow Daoist... I won't feel at ease."

“It’s good to have give and take…”

Li Ximing gave him another chance. Che Hong showed a conflicted attitude and said:
"My elders once had the opportunity to obtain a great treasure. This [Six-in-one Treasure Bottle Theory] is quite useful to us..."

[Liuhe Treasure Bottle Theory] is a method of nurturing spiritual tools that Li Zhouwei obtained from the cave heaven, but the Li family really does not have the resources and ability to refine this treasure bottle now, and it has never been used. Li Ximing did not even think that the other party would be interested in this thing, and said openly:
"I'll copy it down for you right away!"

This [Liuhe Baoping Theory] seemed to be of great value in Che Hong's eyes. He hurriedly thanked him, with a look of indebtedness, but still smiled awkwardly and said:
"Actually... my family has been searching for the [Jianghe Daling Sutra] for many years. We always thought it was in Jin Yu's hands, so we never asked..."

"Oh?"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned, then suddenly said:
"That's right... the nobles are also very skilled in the Fukan River."

Che Hong's hesitation became more obvious. He looked at Ji An and said with a smile:

"I'll send the two real people out."

As soon as he said this, the three of them understood that he had something to say. Although Ji An was a little curious, he was so happy about having just found a new way that he didn't care about anything else. He smiled, bowed, said goodbye, and turned into flames and left.

After the old man left, Che Hong did not go out anymore. He raised his head and said solemnly:
"How much do you know about Lingyu Chen? Has this Taoist scripture already been in the hands of Master Xiao?"

'Xiao Chuting...'

When Li Ximing went to Cangzhou to congratulate, the [Jianghe Daling Sutra] was secretly hidden in the box of spiritual objects. Naturally, it was given to this Master Xiao a long time ago. So his expression was serious and he said:
“Not familiar…”

Seeing that he only answered half of the question, Che Hong realized that he was still on guard, so he didn't act strangely and smiled bitterly:

"It's not my turn to say more about this matter, but a few days ago... I heard a piece of news that a Taoist priest named Su had achieved supernatural powers, broke through the Purple Mansion, and entered the Shu court to meet the king. This matter was soon no longer a secret, so I dared to ask for it from you, fellow Taoist."

"Master Su? Su Yan!"

Li Ximing's heart was slightly shocked.

This person is not a stranger. It was under Jin Yu's mediation that Li handed over the "Jianghe Daling Sutra" and completed this person's Taoist lineage. In return, he received a favor, which allowed Jin Yu to bypass Tingzhou despite the pressure from the Shu court. Today, Wangyue Lake did not suffer too much damage and Li Ximing did not suffer many injuries!

Taoist Tian Huo's words, "I would like to return the favor I did to Daoist Brother Zhao Jing today," were referring to this incident!
"The younger generation has achieved the Purple Palace... Considering the time, with the full support of the Golden Core Daoism and the ancient heritage, it is not surprising..."

Li Ximing raised his head thoughtfully. Che Hong observed his expression and said hesitantly:

"The origin of the Chen family can be traced all the way back to the ancient Dou Xuan Zhenjun, the bloodline of the ancient Daling Kingdom. The [Jianghe Daling Sutra] was the fundamental law of the Chen family back then. A secret realm was established there, in Daling Kingdom, in the [Huang County] to the north of today's Luoxia."

"The descendants of the Chen family have been trying to return to their homeland for many years. Back then, Chen Xuanli once achieved the status of a great immortal and wanted to go to [Badger County] to reopen the secret realm, but he failed due to many obstacles..."

Li Ximing's face slightly changed, and he said:
"Many obstacles?"

Chehong is very secretive.
"The complexity of this is beyond the ability of a lowly cultivator like me to explain. In short, the [River and River Daling Sutra] is related to this opportunity. This opportunity originally belonged to the Chen family, but the Su family had been married to them for many years in ancient times, so they also have this qualification..."

Li Jiangqian seemed to be thinking about something, but Chehong's expression became complicated:
"In the Ning Kingdom, the noble families intermarried. My Xi family originated from Gaoping County, but over the years, we have also had blood entanglements with the Chen family. We are qualified to make a fuss. There are even three "Kanshui" in the Taoist tradition. In those days, Master Xiao also came to exchange for inheritance."

"But after Chen Xuanli achieved the Great Immortal but was forced to death, my Xi family ancestors noticed something was wrong and were afraid of being considered ambitious, so they didn't even dare to practice 'Kanshui'! Now that they see that Master Su has reached the Purple Palace, they have begun to think about completing the path of a Great Immortal!"

Li Ximing finally understood and frowned:

"Then how much do these things have to do with Master Xiao?"

Che Hong smiled bitterly and said:
"The Lingyu Chen family has two loyal clans. The first is surnamed Xiao, and the second is surnamed Quan. At first, they did not intermarry. Later, the Lingyu Chen family fell into poverty and had to rely on outsiders. They also began to intermarry. The mother of Xiao Jinzhou from the Xiao family was a direct descendant of the Chen family!"

Li Ximing shuddered and asked:

"Senior Xiao also has this opportunity?"

Che Hong whispered the secret method and said:

'He used to have some... but now he doesn't have any... He got a good deal from Jinyu and Qingchi, and his tactics are so high that even Jinyu's several masters couldn't outsmart him. He's about to become a great master, so who can take anything from him?'

"If not, why would we need Su Yan? Jin Yu is holding him down. If he gets this method, he will be the second Chen Xuanli! My great master once estimated that Master Xiao is probably waiting for someone to open this place for him..."

Li Ximing had never thought that there was such a complicated thread, and was shocked:
"Doesn't that mean... we have to fight Jin Yu?!"

Different from the obvious power of Luoxia and Yinsi, the terror of the Jinyi sect is subtle and silent, yet everyone is wary of it, let alone a great immortal who is almost a casual cultivator... even if he is a descendant of the Jindan family, he would feel guilty if he ran into the Zhang family!

'I had expected his path to the truth to be difficult, but I had never imagined it to be this difficult!'

His heart was shaken, and he could only say:

"In this case, I will definitely help Chunyi. If there are any spiritual resources required for alchemy later, I will have to trouble you, Master."

Che Hong naturally nodded repeatedly, waiting for the monks in the audience to send them out. Li Ximing stepped into Taixu, with mixed feelings in his heart, still not calmed down:
'Sure enough... it's not just about letting Su Yan take advantage of the opportunities in Wanlingtian... no wonder the Jinyu Sect has been so persistent for hundreds of years, no wonder this favor is so great! '

"During the Ning Kingdom period, the aristocratic families intermarried, and it was not just the Xi family. Could it be that the Ning and Li families were also related by blood? If the ancestors had not been killed, and really achieved the Purple Mansion and opened the Daozang, they might have been absorbed by Jin Yu..."

"Then Master Xiao...was he just after the sword master? ...Maybe he was also far-sighted..."

He had complicated thoughts and pondered for a long time. Li Jiangqian held the fireworks with a distracted mind. Even though he practiced the "Da Li Shu", he did not have Li Ximing's ability to refine it in an instant. Golden lines were climbing up, trying to subdue the fire bit by bit.

"The Douxuan Daotong..."

The two of them pondered all the way and soon entered the Moon Watching Lake, landing in the world where the sun and the moon shone together. They sat down together. Li Jiangqian took a look and didn't see Li Zhouwei. Thinking that he should be under the attic where the Taiyin energy was heavier, he asked:
"Is father's injury still serious?"

Li Ximing shook his head:
"It won't be a problem for now, but it would be better if it can be eradicated."

With his words, Li Jiangqian placed the [Red Gold Hundred Turns Spear] and [Li Si Apricot Fruit] on the jade table and said respectfully:
"Please let Grand Uncle handle it!"

"You are being polite."

Li Ximing pushed it back and said seriously:

"The [Red Gold Hundred Spin Spear] is easy to handle, but how will you arrange the [Li Si Xing Fruit]?"

Li Jiangqian said:

"My 'Da Li Shu' has the 'Heart Palace', which is very effective in accommodating spiritual wood and spiritual objects. It is different from other people who just take it and waste it. It is no worse than refining a pill..."

At this point, Li Ximing smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Alchemy is not a simple matter of gathering and replenishing. If there are one or two spiritual resources to complement each other, it can bring out twelve times the benefits! It is time to make the elixir."

Li Jiangqian changed the subject and reminded:
"Grand uncle, my [Tan Gu Xuan Li] is a technique of swallowing life, which is essentially killing and destroying the way. It can only be most effective if the spiritual fruit is taken directly. If it is refined into a pill... then only the pill will be effective."

"I see!"

Li Ximing seemed to be thinking about something, and replied:

"Take it right away?"

"Not bad!"

Li Jiangqian lifted the jade box, revealing the round, jade-like apricot fruit that looked like a treasure. His throat moved slightly, and he whispered:
"It takes a lot of time and energy to refine a large pill. It took several years to refine Ji An's pill. If you want to refine it for me, I don't know how many years it will take. When I refine the [Vast Desert Flame], I will go into seclusion and eat the [Li Si Apricot Fruit]! There is no need to trouble you, elders."

Li Ximing nodded in response, while Li Jiangqian rummaged through his clothes, took out a box from his sleeve, and said seriously:
"Back then, the elders accepted my vision and gave me the spiritual resources to refine, and asked me to keep them for myself. Now that the elders have expenses in various places, they need spiritual resources, so I won't keep them for myself!"

The box contained a portion of golden liquid, burning with transparent flames. Although it was only a thin layer and not much in quantity, the quality was not low and there was even a faint smell of spiritual essence.

Li Ximing was not polite and accepted it silently. Seeing him sitting on his knees in the attic, he stood up, suppressed the injury in his lungs, and coughed twice.

In fact, Li Ximing was also seriously injured in this battle. He felt better after being distracted by the [Split Soul and Alien Body]. It was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable as it dragged on until this hour.

But he did not rush to heal his wounds. Instead, he shook his sleeves and immediately revealed the small statue. The statue grew in the wind, its skin was soft and its expression was thoughtful, just like a living person. The nameplate with "Li Gufeng" on its waist kept swaying and glowed faintly.

Li Ximing looked at it carefully for a while, counted with his fingers, and a smile of eagerness appeared on his face. He put two fingers together, drew out the [Light of Six Directions] from his magical power, pointed it at the center of the [Split Body]'s eyebrows, put several jade slips into his arms, and then sat cross-legged to heal his injuries.

As he gradually entered into a state of meditation, the [Split Spirit Body] opened his eyes little by little in a rather horrifying manner. His eyes were completely blank, but already had a sense of intelligence. He stretched out his hand stiffly, and actually began to read and ponder!
It was controlled by Li Ximing's distraction!

The [False Female Method of Lifting the Different Body] has pushed the [Divided Spirit and Different Body] to the point of avoiding disasters and avoiding evil spirits. Combined with "The World is Bright", it is already extremely powerful. The most recent [Sealing Life] has enhanced the life connection and finally turned the quantity into a qualitative change, crossing that threshold.

'Although I am distracted while controlling my main body, which makes me a little slow, it is far inferior to the [Du Qian Ling] which does not require any effort and is harmonious and natural, so that even the Purple Palace cannot tell the difference, but it also represents a qualitative leap!'

Li Ximing met Tinglan [Duqianling], and the walking body that he envied in those days finally came true after many years. It allowed him to stop healing his wounds and distract himself by forcing a stiff smile to study the book of alchemy.
