Chapter 383 Returning From a Visit
Liu Changdie flew into Dali Mountain on the wind, but a ray of light came from the south. Before it landed in front of Qingdu Mountain, it was intercepted by someone and had to stop.
An Queyan patrolled for a long time and forced the man to stop by the lake, shouting:
"Who is coming?"
An Queyan's eighth level of Qi training is definitely enough to deal with ordinary casual cultivators, but the cultivation level of the person coming is quite high, which makes him very afraid.
This man had an ordinary appearance, and was at the peak of Qi training. He looked no more than 30 years old, but the clothes on his body were quite expensive. He bowed his hands, summoned his magic power, and said respectfully:
"Lixia Liu Changdie is here to visit, please..."
Before he finished speaking, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly appeared in his ears:
"Daoist Fellow Changdie?"
Liu Changdie turned his head and suddenly caught a glimpse of a heroic face with bright almond eyes, jade armor and silver spear. Liu Changdie was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed:
"It turned out to be Daoist Fellow Qinghong!"
Liu Changdie lowered his head and exclaimed in his heart:
'It's really a jade beauty... I didn't have the chance to see her in my previous life. I only heard that she committed suicide on Yuting Mountain. With such a demeanor and appearance, it's no wonder that the master of Lotus Temple coveted her. ’
Li Qinghong had heard from her elders that this person was strange, so she didn’t think it was strange to see his complicated expression, and said with a smile:
“Daoyou, please follow me into the mountain!”
An Queyan then let him go, clasped his hands, and quietly withdrew.
Liu Changdie followed her into the mountain obediently. There were two people sitting in the hall on the mountain, one was old and frail, withered and decayed, and the other was middle-aged, but his face was very pale.
Li Yuanping was talking about clan affairs with his father Li Xuanxuan, and greeted Liu Changdie. Liu Changdie immediately responded with a salute, and said happily:
"Li Qinghong and Li Yuanping are not dead, Yuan Jiao will not be alone like in his previous life, sitting on Wutu Mountain and drinking alone!"
Li Xuanxuan smiled and called him up, chatted with him for a while, and asked in a low voice:
"I wonder how much you know about [East Fire Cave Heaven]?"
Liu Changdie sighed repeatedly and replied:
"It's not a good place... After this, a group of casual cultivators from the East Sea can enter, and fighting for it is just working for nothing for the three sects and seven gates!"
Liu Changdie has lived two lives, and he saw the true face of the three sects and seven gates before he died in his previous life, so he naturally refused to go to East Fire Cave Heaven.
"Daoyou can see it clearly!"
Li Xuanxuan praised and asked:
"I wonder if the Daoist Canon of Donghuo Dongtian has been leaked?"
Li Xuanxuan was most concerned about this matter. His own "Golden Palace Huangyuan Jue" was closely related to the ancient Wei Kingdom, and Dongli Sect was also a descendant of the Wei Kingdom, so he naturally hurried to ask.
Liu Changdie actually did not find out the relevant news, but relied on his past life memories and said in a deep voice:
"The key [Dongli Daozang] was taken away by Chu Yi, so there is no good or bad. Only some second- and third-grade external sect skills of Dongli Sect were scattered all over the ground, all of which were from the Jinyang system, which was a bargain for the casual cultivators."
Li Xuanxuan was delighted and nodded:
"Good, good!"
The source of his own "Golden Palace Huangyuan Jue" was worried that there was no explanation. Now the good and bad skills of the Jinyang system were scattered all over the ground, and his own [Huangyuan Pass] was hidden, which was much safer.
The three sects did not obtain the Daozang, so they must not have obtained the purple mansion-level skills, and naturally there was no direct line to practice, not to mention endangering their own foundation.
‘What’s more, in the future, we can also collect this series of skills, verify each other, and promote practice. ’
Li Xuanxuan even thought to himself:
“Maybe Fajian will be able to bestow the subsequent purple mansion-level skills in the future. When the family has a purple mansion, this series of skills will be more useful!”
Li Xuanxuan thought long-term and was very happy.
…
Li Yuanjiao rode the wind to the territory of Dali Mountain, passed through the mountains, and a white banyan tree appeared at his feet. He landed between the trees and put away the [Xuanwen Bottle].
There was a piece of soft grass around him, and no demon shadows were seen. The golden sunlight sprinkled on the treetops, which seemed particularly warm.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the clean slope without a single fallen leaf. He knew that the fox was hiding, so he gently bowed and said loudly:
"Li's disciple Yuanjiao, come to pay respect to the senior, please show yourself!"
Li Yuanjiao waited for a while, and finally a light red demon wind blew, and a fox half a person's height appeared not far away, staring at Li Yuanjiao vigilantly.
The fox is now much smaller, and its cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training. Its two eyes are dark and staring at Li Yuanjiao straight.
Li Yuanjiao bowed again and said respectfully:
"Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation."
The fox lowered his head and replied from a distance:
"Of course I am not as good as you, but I have built a foundation in just a few decades... I think it is also remarkable among the human race."
Li Yuanjiao said a few humble words, and it can be seen that the fox is very vigilant. He first put down a bag of spiritual rice and lowered his tone:
"I came here today to ask you something."
"I caught a hook snake. First, I don't know if I can control this monster and use it for my family. Second, I heard that the hook snake is a sea monster. , I wonder if it has any background? "
The fox took a closer look and replied:
"The art of controlling the spirit is a secret of the demon cave. To capture the demon cave, the demon king must do it himself. You'd better not make this plan..."
"As for the hook snake, this tribe has a long history. If you want to talk about the background, it can be traced back to ancient times. It is quite famous. You can only listen to it as a story."
"In ancient times, this tribe had a demon palace in the East China Sea. It followed the feathered serpent's method and did not listen to the dragon's command. Later, it was destroyed by the Heshui Zhenchi... The tribe wandered on the sea, so naturally it had no background."
Li Yuanjiao listened carefully. The fox seemed to be much more relaxed and squeaked:
"During this battle, the feathered snake of Lushui was swallowed by Zhenchi. Seven years later, it gave birth to nine sons. Zhenchi was eaten by the nine sons, and the water merged with Lushui. From then on, the two sides of Lushui and Shui have been entangled. To this day, Lushui is in At home and abroad, the water has finally calmed down a bit.”
Li Yuanjiao still wanted to hear it, but the fox stopped talking and only said:
"Anyway... Hook snakes are easy to bully, and there are many in the sea."
Li Yuanjiao asked a few questions, but was speechless and refused to say more on this topic, so he could only whisper:
"Senior, can the foundation-building pig demon in the mountains... be moved?"
The pig demon in the mountains has been entrenched beside the Li family for hundreds of years, but Li Yuanjiao has always kept it in mind. Now that he has the array in his hand, he suddenly started to think about it and make plans.
"That stupid big guy..."
The fox demon stopped talking and whispered:
"You can kill it. As long as you trick it out of Dali Mountain, it won't be a big deal if it dies outside... You can get some more spiritual objects and spiritual stones, and I'll put them in the cave for you. It'll be fine."
"I'm afraid that with his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, if you don't kill him and ask him to run back to the cave to make friends, it will bring bad luck to your family."
Li Yuanjiao nodded slightly, feeling confident, and asked a few more questions. Seeing that the fox demon was not interested, he had no choice but to leave.
Li Yuanjiao flew away in the wind, and the fox demon breathed a sigh of relief, lay back lazily under the tree, and thought to himself:
"This child is extremely talented, cautious and suspicious. He is less tolerant than Tongya and more ruthless. Tongya should be fine if he leaves the clan to him."
The fox demon took out a piece of white quartz from under its hair and whispered:
"Li Yuanjiao has established his foundation!"
…
Li Yuanjiao flew out of Dali Mountain. He had some calculations in his heart and said secretly:
‘This senior fox demon has been friends with my family for generations, and he shouldn’t lie to me. He just knows so many things that he is definitely not an ordinary fox demon! ’
Li Yuanjiao had previously driven the wind down, but he had activated the [Xuanwen Bottle]. If he had not been within three feet of him, he would not even have been able to detect it. However, he was actually noticed by the fox early, and there was no trace of him even under the tree.
'A fox demon at the level of Qi training can actually detect me early, and even come and go without a trace, and there is no trace at all... What is this... Is it too obvious, is it warning me? ’
He touched his chin and came up with an inference:
"It seems to be the Demon Cave in Dali Mountain!"
'I just don't know how my ancestors got involved with this demon fox... Xiao Chuting is sure that there are monks from Zifu in my family, maybe it's because of Dali Shan's attitude...'
Li Yuanjiao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any clue. However, he remembered the pig monster and returned to the peak. Li Qinghong was chatting with a monk when he saw Li Yuanjiao coming down. The monk quickly got up and said with a smile:
"Brother Yuanjiao! Long time no see!"
Li Yuanjiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied:
"It turns out to be Brother Changdie!"
Liu Changdie is now at the ninth level of Qi training. With a smile on his face, he looked very affectionate and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for so many years, brother. I never thought we could build a foundation so quickly!"
Du Yitou was secretly disappointed and thought:
'I never thought that Yuan Jiao would practice faster in this life... I wouldn't be able to compare to him in my next life. The gap between people is so huge! ’
Li Yuanjiao said a few words modestly, thinking about the great formation on Qingdu Peak, and thought about it:
‘The great formation on Qingdu Peak has not been built for a long time. With Liu Changdie, the great formation on Qingdu Peak has been completed! Uncle Xuanfeng hasn't returned home for many years, so I just happened to ask...'
The two sat down happily, and Li Yuanjiao smiled and said:
"I heard that fellow Taoist went to Yishan City. I wonder if I have heard any news about my uncle Li Xuanfeng."
"It's natural!"
Liu Chang arched his hands and replied:
"Congratulations, brother! Senior married Ning and fellow Taoist Mian. Now he is very popular among real people and has a great reputation in the city!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanjiao was shocked, Li Qinghong was stunned, and Li Xuanxuan on the side even frowned, but considering that Liu Changdie was by the side, no one said anything, Li Qinghong immediately picked up and said with a smile :
"This is a great thing! Thank you fellow Taoist for informing me!"
Liu Changdie said he didn't dare. After all, he felt something was wrong. He smiled and said nothing. He silently took out the storage bag and small letter in his arms and replied:
"Senior asked me to bring this back..."
Li Yuanjiao thanked him and took it, put the things down first, and asked:
"I wonder if my brother's current formation cultivation level is enough to arrange a foundation-building formation?"
The Li family now has inheritance of formations, talismans, and elixirs. The formations are still in their infancy. Although there are many large formations at the Qi training level, they are not as easy and freehand as Liu Changde's arrangement, let alone building. Basic level.
The old man Li Xuanxuan was in charge of the talisman. Unfortunately, the few apprentices and clansmen he brought under him could not do anything. They could only draw the fetal breath talisman, which made Li Xuanxuan very angry.
After all, cultivating immortals and various arts requires talent, and the main lineage of the Li family is Li Xuanxuan and Li Ximing.
After hearing this, Liu Changdie nodded slightly awkwardly and whispered:
"Chang Die has made great achievements in repairing formations in Yishan City over the years. If there is a formation map, Chang Die can give it a try, but he is not able to do it, and I am afraid it will cost a lot..."
Foundation-building formations are rare. For an formation master like Liu Changdie who can't wait to be better or worse, being able to set them up once is a rare experience. Seeing that the Li family has plans to set up foundation-building formations, Liu Changdie is also looking forward to it. Hope, hope says:
"If the nobles can give Chang Die the opportunity to set up the formation, Chang Die can also lay out some materials by himself. There are only four to five hundred spirit stones left or right."
‘Ten years of service to my family…’
Several people were shocked by the price and were speechless for a while. The Li family is now running at full capacity, and the annual profit is only 40 spirit stones, which is barely enough to pay the tribute. The savings can only be accumulated through [Qingwu Mine] and [Wanling Flower], 13 or 14 pieces a year.
If calculated in this way, it will take the Li family 40 to 50 years to build this formation.
‘Although killing the demon cultivators has brought a lot of income, the family still has 50 to 60 reserves in addition to the prepared tribute, but it is still too far away. ’
Now everyone is silent, Liu Changdie shrinks his head and does not speak. Li Yuanjiao is silent for a while and answers:
“It costs a lot, my family still can’t afford it, it’s better to use the Qi training formation first.”
Liu Changdie nodded quickly and answered:
“I will go down to explore the terrain and veins, the distribution of spiritual energy in the mountains, and build the formation in a few days.”
Li Yuanjiao nodded, chatted with him for a few words, and Liu Changdie retreated.
"Jiao'er!"
Liu Changdie then left. Li Xuanxuan looked uneasy and said immediately:
"What does Yuansu want to do to my family..."
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Yuansu Zhenren promoted Li Xuanfeng so abruptly and married his family members to him. Li Xuanxuan couldn't help but be afraid. The old man muttered for a while and asked:
"Xuanfeng, what does Xuanfeng think!"
Li Yuanjiao took out the letter brought back by Liu Changdie, deciphered it with his own secret method, read it carefully, and suddenly became confused:
"Wei Li's descendants?"
He handed the letter over, Li Yuanjiao pondered. Li Xuanfeng mentioned Yuansu's attitude towards his family in the letter, and explained the few words he heard. It took more than ten pages to write...
Several people read it carefully. Li Qinghong vaguely felt that it was a good thing and whispered:
"Since Yuansu mistakenly thought that my family was the main line of Wei and Li, then the matter of the generations of spiritual orifices can be covered up. But Yuansu may have to do something with his own bloodline."
Yuansu was just promoting her casually at first. After learning about the Wei and Li bloodline, he thought about marrying her to a clan member. The four of them suspected the bloodline.
Li Yuanjiao thought about it, but the information was too little and he couldn't guess. He picked up the storage bag and took a look. Li Xuanfeng asked Liu Changdie to send back thirty spirit stones and a Suiyuan Dan.
Li Yuanjiao took out the jade bottle and poured out a gray pill with lines all over it. He sighed in his heart:
"It is indeed a blood pill."
Although Li Qinghong was preparing to break through the foundation, this blood pill could not be used. Li Yuanjiao looked at it for a while and had a plan in mind.
"This medicine cannot be used, but it is extremely precious. If it sells well, it will not be much worse than taking it to improve your health."
