Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Li Tongya sat alone among a group of Qi Refining cultivators, drinking wine.

He remained silent, listening to the rogue cultivator recount various interesting anecdotes and secrets, and was just getting to the crucial part.

A middle-aged man wearing a jade crown, a white robe, and a spirit sword at his waist suddenly walked up to the table where Li Tongya was sitting.

The lively conversation at the table suddenly fell silent.

Upon seeing this, several Qi Refining cultivators looked tense and quickly took out several spiritual fruits from their pockets, moving to other empty spaces in the seating area.

Jiang Heqian swaggered to sit opposite Li Tongya, poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, and asked bluntly:

"Are you perhaps a relative of the Sword Immortal, Li Tongya?"

Li Tongya's expression shifted between light and shadow. He searched his memory but couldn't recall the man opposite him. He then put down his wine glass and said in an icy tone:

"I do not recall ever knowing you."

Neither answering nor admitting it, this was a sign of defensiveness, something Jiang Heqian had anticipated. He calmly continued:

"Fei Wangbai is a good friend of mine, Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need to be so nervous. I also contributed a lot to your smooth breakthrough."

Upon hearing that the man was Fei Wangbai's friend, Li Tongya relaxed his guard slightly. The man then added that he had helped him break through safely.

The man's inexplicable words puzzled Li Tongya, who asked, "Who exactly are you? I am certain I have never seen you before."

Jiang Heqian had anticipated this question and calmly replied, "My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Heqian. My ancestors have lived in Wangyue Lake for generations. Fellow Daoist Li, do you know that the enemy of an enemy is also a friend? Although we have never met before, I am very familiar with the grudges and entanglements of Wangyue Lake."

"It is Fellow Daoist Li who has surprised me. His cultivation has progressed so rapidly. When Brother Fei talked to me years ago, he said that Brother Li was still a Qi Refining cultivator. In just a few years, Fellow Daoist Li has already cultivated to the Immortal Foundation. This is truly a cause for celebration."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Heqian finished the spiritual tea in one gulp, clasped his hands in farewell, and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, farewell."

Li Tongya returned the greeting with clasped hands, his thoughts still immersed in the man's words.

The man's words just now were clearly an expression of goodwill towards Li Tongya. According to him, Fei Wangbai was his friend, so the enemy he mentioned would not be the Li family.

Currently, the only families with designs on Wangyue Lake are the Fei family on the north bank, the Li family themselves, and the Yu family in the dense forest.

He extended goodwill to himself and befriended the Fei family, while his enemy became the Yu family.

After figuring things out, Li Tongya breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't become an enemy of the Li family.

He then drank the spirit wine in the cup in one gulp, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

While Li Tongya was talking to Jiang Heqian, his eyes were fixed on the banquet table of the Ziyan Sect. The reason was simple: Lingyanzi, who owed the Li family a debt, was sitting on it.

When Lingyanzi of the Ziyan Sect was about to leave, Li Tongya stopped him.

After some negotiation, they retrieved twenty spirit stones and a third-grade embryonic breathing technique, "Shanglang Yanglun Jing," from Lingyanzi.

The cultivation technique was used to offset the spirit stones, and Lingyanzi thus repaid the Li family for saving his life.

Li Tongya also got his wish, obtaining a fetal breathing cultivation method for the main branch of the Li family to practice, which can be considered a win-win situation.

This "Shanglang Yanglun Method" is an ancient immortal sect's secret technique from Tianlangtai. It has a significant origin and is incompatible with many other cultivation methods.

Just as the two finished their transaction and Lingyanzi rode away on the wind, Li Tongya heard a familiar voice in his ear.

"Lai Xianyou Peak".

The sound was like a booming bell, exploding in Li Tongya's ears, but no one around noticed anything unusual.

Li Tongya respectfully rose and left the formation, flying towards the mountaintop.

Before long, Li Tongya paid his respects to Xiao Chuting and presented him with the Golden Dew Fruit as a congratulatory gift. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two got down to business.

The Xiao family intends to support the Li family and suppress the Yu family at Wangyue Lake.

They planned to have several of the Xiao family's retainers take action to surround and kill Yu Yufeng of the Yu family.

At this moment, Li Tongya spoke up and asked, "Yu Yufeng is cautious and stays in the Yu family compound in the dense forest all day long, never leaving the house. It won't be easy to ambush and kill him."

Xiao Chuting smiled slightly, gently lifted the white jade fishing rod in his hand, and said in a calm tone:

"Yu Yufeng will leave the Yu family on his own. You just need to do as I say and wait for him there."

Li Tongya felt a wave of fear after hearing this, and his mind was in turmoil.

"The Purple Mansion Divine Power is truly terrifying."

Xiao Chuting paid no attention to Li Tongya's emotional changes and said calmly:

"Your Li family of Wangyue Lake, you'd better think carefully about the path you'll take in the future. Under the Yu family, your Li family is the most dazzling on Wangyue Lake..."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand the implications," Li Tongya said respectfully.

"Qingchi Sect, your Li family still needs to send a disciple to the sect for cultivation. Firstly, sect disciples are well-informed and can pass on valuable information to the family. Secondly, sect disciples can provide feedback to the family to some extent. There's no need to send a disciple with outstanding talent and temperament; someone of average ability is most suitable..."

Xiao Chuting spoke slowly and deliberately.

The fact that the Purple Mansion Divine Power could enlighten and enlighten a Foundation Establishment cultivator like this filled Li Tongya with admiration.

Only after Xiao Chuting stopped speaking did Li Tongya bow and take his leave.

......

A mirror of heaven and earth.

Lu Jiangxian had been drifting off to sleep in a daze.

A sense of familiarity suddenly flooded into Lu Jiangxian's mind, waking her from her slumber.

What's going on? Lu Jiangxian scanned the area with her divine sense and found that the place where Li Tongya's talisman seed was located was emanating a sense of familiarity.

Through the talisman, Lu Jiangxian locked onto Jiang Heqian, who was talking with Li Tongya, and discovered that the sense of intimacy was coming from Jiang Heqian.

After observing closely, Lu Jiangxian found nothing special about Jiang Heqian. It was truly strange. This was the first time Lu Jiangxian had felt a sense of familiarity since waking up from the Xuanjian World.

But I couldn't quite put my finger on it; I couldn't quite put my finger on what made it feel so familiar.

With a host of questions in mind, Lu Jiangxian made a mental note of Jiang Heqian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and then fell asleep again.

Jiang Heqian, whom Lu Jiangxian had taken to heart, was currently flying back without any knowledge of the situation.

For Jiang Heqian, this trip was a complete success. He forged the spirit sword, took the opportunity to participate in Xiao Chuting's Purple Mansion Dharma Assembly, chatted with Li Tongya during the assembly, and officially made contact with the Li family of Wangyue Lake.

I mentally reviewed everything again to make sure I hadn't said anything I shouldn't have.

Although the Dao artifact, the Jade of Dao Transformation, can conceal one's destiny and prevent the Purple Mansion and True Lord from noticing anything amiss, its behavior and speech can still reveal its flaws.

This was the first time Jiang Heqian had acted under such immense pressure in front of so many powerful beings.

Fortunately, he was not conspicuous. Even if the Purple Mansion Divine Power was watching him, he had nothing to worry about. He had not done anything outrageous, and everything he said was based on evidence and was open information.

After several hours of flying, Jiang Heqian landed on the east bank of Wangyue Lake and returned to his temporary cave.

According to the timeline, not long after the Dharma assembly ends, Yu Yufeng of the Yu family will be lured out by Xiao Chuting using the supernatural power "Old Man by the Stream," and then surrounded and killed by a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators...

He just needed to wait patiently, and Fei Wangbai would come looking for him to go to Milin County to break the great formation of Yu Family Market.

The supernatural powers displayed at the Purple Mansion Dharma Assembly put immense psychological pressure on Jiang Heqian.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt suffocated and my mind was extremely tired.

After tidying up casually, Jiang Heqian cleared his mind, sat in meditation to rest and recharge, waiting for Fei Wangbai to come to his door.
