Chapter 523: Divine Power
Qingchi Sect.
The main hall of Qingchi Sect is majestic and tall, with an ethereal aura, white jade as the steps, bright treasure lamps blooming with light, and white spiritual energy flowing down like mist. Chi Zhiyun was coming down from the steps when he saw a man coming up in front of him. The middle-aged man seemed quite relaxed and steady. He only asked:
"What's the matter?"
This man was naturally at peace with himself, and he just held up his hands and said:
"Sect Master, the people from Qingsong Island are back... I met a few people. Li Xizhi's sister said that she went to the Han family and was missing."
"The people behind went to the Han family, but heard that family said that Li Xizhi left early, and only sent the Han family to Qunyihai to investigate."
Ning Hejing paused and then said:
"I searched all the way, but I heard that Li Xizhi was invited by Xuanyuemen Kong Tingyun to go to Mount Xun to collect clouds for Master Chang Xi. As for the two Han family foundation builders, they are probably dead."
Chi Zhiyun listened quietly, with an intriguing expression on his face, and just asked:
"It means that Li Xizhi did not go near Leiyun Temple, but went all the way to Xuanyue Gate... interesting."
Ning Hejing lowered his head and responded, seeing Chi Zhiyun murmuring:
"Could it be Chang Xi who took action?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Ning Hejing's face, and Chi Zhiyun quickly shook his head again:
"It shouldn't be this real person. He has never cultivated the magical power of life, and he dare not touch my Qingchi affairs..."
Both of them are direct descendants of the Immortal Sect, and both have elders from Zifu in their families. They are familiar with Zifu's magical powers and other Zifus in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zi Mansion has cultivated magical powers, but not every magical power is of the same type, but encompasses everything: body magical power, life magical power, eye magical power... There are different kinds of magic among them, and the most important one is the life magical power.
The magical power of destiny is the key to Zi Mansion's ability to touch destiny. It is similar to many of Shi Xiu's methods. It may confuse the mind to inquire, or it may unknowingly promote the situation, or it may be possible to see some signs and deduce the origin.
Although it is difficult for Zifu to fight with each other, except for a few people who stand at the top, the rest of the people rarely distinguish who is higher and who is lower, but having magical powers is a threshold for truly becoming a chess player.
Because their own immortals have different magical powers, there is also a distinction between the Immortal Sect and the Immortal Sect. For example, the Ziyan Sect once had two immortals at the top of the Zifu, who were vaguely the first among the three sects, and the weakest Xue In Jimen, Zifu has been missing for many years, and even the disciples dare not show their faces.
Several Zifus of the Qingchi Sect are blessed with magical powers. They were originally known as Qingchi Sanyuan. The elemental element was the most famous at the beginning, not only because of the extremely powerful seal in his hand, but also because of the Lushui magical power he had developed. The sound of the cave spring] is both the body's magical power and the life's magical power, which is very miraculous.
The magical power practiced by Master Chang Xi is [Foolish Rushing Mountain], which is a rare magical power, and he is not good at attacking. Over the years, he has stopped making progress due to lack of skills. He has always been the one who stays low and is the smallest among the seven gates. Chi Zhiyun certainly didn't doubt him.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Hejing asked:
"But that Chu Ting Zhenren..."
Speaking of Xiao Chuting, both of them looked a little uneasy. Xiao Chuting had not shown up for many years, but he was a feared one.
This real person broke through the Zifu from the cracks in the beginning, with difficulty every step of the way. Later, he became calm and comfortable. In the current situation, he has become a character that all parties want to win over.
Chi Zhiyun looked a little ugly, but he still shook his head and whispered:
"If Xiao Chuting takes action, there is no need to do this... What's more, he has been in Beihai now. He should be on top of Cangzhou with Yuan Xiu. There is no way he can control the situation across the East China Sea thousands of miles away..."
Ning Hejing was silent for several breaths, and then said:
"My subordinates are puzzled, how dare he go to Beihai!"
Chi Zhiyun replied in a low voice:
"After all, this is a grand event for Zi Mansion to break through the golden elixir. He, Xiao Chuting, cannot miss it. Besides...his cultivation level is Kanshui, and Cangzhou Kanshui is the most prosperous. This is a rare opportunity."
Ning Hejing's lips parted slightly and his voice was very low:
"What the sect leader said is...but...Xiao Qianyou died strangely that year, and it was suspected that he died in the hands of Shangyuan...The people below dare not say it, and the Xiao family dare not know, but Xiao Chuting must know it! If I were He doesn't even dare to go to the north..."
Chi Zhiyun looked unhappy and said:
"Tell me more! How many people were involved in the Donghua Li Jiangqun incident? Not to mention Xiao Qianyou, wasn't that the one from the Ziyan Sect too? Yuan Wu, Yuan Xiu... who didn't have a share? How could anyone dare not go to Xiu Yue? reason."
"Shangyuan was promoted by Donghua... but how could he dare to do anything? Let me tell you, even if he achieved the golden elixir, he would not dare to say a few words on this matter..."
Ning Hejing had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly. The two of them only briefly talked about what happened hundreds of years ago, but they felt frightened. Chi Zhiyun calmed down his emotions and made a conclusion:
"If Li Xizhi really didn't go, it's probably a coincidence... there are still one or two..."
Ning Hejing nodded slightly and said softly:
"It's also possible that this person has always been just pretending... In fact, he didn't bother to investigate Yuan Tuan's affairs at all, so he just delayed it at will..."
"After all, once Yuan Tuan died, Qingsui Peak fell into his hands."
Chi Zhiyun nodded noncommittally. He seemed to have other answers in his mind, but without saying them out loud, he waved him off and sat alone in his seat.
He waited for a moment, then rode the wind and flew all the way to the highest point of Qingchi Peak. He saw white air shrouding the air and misty clouds. He shuttled through it until he reached the deepest part of the cave.
There was a deep pool in the deepest part. It was clear and pleasant to look at. Chi Zhiyun looked around carefully and gently touched the magic formula.
Lines quickly lit up on the stone wall in the cave, extending densely to isolate the inside and outside. The vague fluctuations revealed were extremely powerful. They turned out to be Zifu-level formations, and even this piece of Taixu was isolated. .
Chi Zhiyun then bent down and looked at the deep pool with intense eyes. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a reflection slowly appeared in the originally dark pool.
There are clearly empty blue rocks above the pool, but a small tree is reflected in the water. It is silvery and bright, and its delicate and beautiful leaves are like silver threads, undulating in the slightly undulating pool water.
The soft moonlight slowly drifted out. Chi Zhiyun quietly looked at the small trees in the pool, counted the days, and felt more and more happy in his heart:
"It's almost... it's almost... the results are coming soon... Bu Zi kept taking it for himself time and time again. I begged and begged but refused to give me one. Now that this guy is missing, I finally have the chance to take this fruit... Just wait for a while..."
He was slowly calculating in his mind, but the small trees in the pool slowly stretched out as if they were breathing, emitting clear and gentle moonlight, and wisps of orchids grew around the pool, which was fragrant and pleasant.
…
Relying on the mountain city.
The city wall of Yishan City has been vicissitudes of life and is full of traces of curses. A group of guards above raised their eyes and looked down. The wasteland in front of the city wall was full of bones. A few crows stopped on the wasteland and screamed.
Directly above stood a group of young men, all dressed in brocade and jade robes, in sharp contrast to the many cultivators beside them. There were even some who were sitting in the air with cups in their hands, looking at the scenery leisurely.
To these guards, Yishan City is a place to fight for their lives, but in the eyes of these Qingchi Sect people, it is just a place to exchange benefits with monsters and train disciples, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Several people were thinking about traveling, chatting, laughing and drinking wine on the top of the city. Sitting to the left of the center was a young man who seemed to be drunk and leaned against the city wall.
His robes were loose and he was sitting astride the steps. He tilted his head and raised his glass. His gray-black eyes were full of intoxication. It was Li Yuanqin, Li Xuanfeng's heir from southern Xinjiang, who was surrounded in the middle.
Everyone gathered together and talked about some interesting stories about a certain family, and who in a certain immortal sect had the opportunity to create a lively atmosphere. One person drank wine and said with a smile:
"Brother Yuanqin, you carry this bow on your back all day, why don't you take it off and shoot an arrow to see how capable your father is?"
After hearing this, Li Yuanqin sneered, took off the bow from his body, threw it into the man's hand, and said:
"What can you achieve? It's just a pretense."
Everyone looked at each other and moved on to the topic in tacit understanding. They soon started talking about jokes, and one person said:
"I heard that southern Xinjiang has undergone great changes in recent years. Several shaman kingdoms near the north are fighting against each other. It seems that they are going to establish some big sect... which is strange."
Southern Xinjiang is not a world dominated by monsters. It is just the territory of Yishan City facing monsters. The border of Southern Xinjiang stretches for thousands of miles, reaching deep near the Wu Kingdom, and even borders the territory of the Golden Feather Sect.
There are many witch kingdoms in that area, most of which are raised by the monsters themselves to eat. There are also some little-known small forces that have fallen a lot in the demon disaster.
"It seems that there are many small sects in that place..."
One of them asked.
Naturally, these small mountain temples are not behemoths like three sects and seven sects. Most of them are even small sects built by Qi practitioners. They are sandwiched in the large wasteland between Wu State and southern Xinjiang. They rise and fall every day. He showed a look of reminiscence and murmured:
"It seems that there was a good force back then... called Tu... Tu Junmen?"
How did the small sect in that wasteland reach the ears of these direct descendants? After thinking about it, I remembered the Tu Jun Sect. No one cared about it at first, but now it is famous all over the world because of Dragon Slaying, and everyone knows something about it.
After these digressions, someone finally smiled and asked:
"I said... I heard that Master Shangyuan is going to break through the golden elixir. Sirs... have you heard any gossip at home?"
After hearing this, Li Yuanqin's originally hazy eyes immediately focused, and he stared at the wine glass calmly, when he saw a member of the Chi family saying:
"What news can there be! Even Duan Mukui failed... Shangyuan doesn't have much chance."
As soon as he said this, the person next to him who had a higher status and more gorgeous clothes immediately sneered and said softly:
"The clan brother is really interesting. Behind Shangyuan is the Xiuyue Sect. What does Duanmukui have? It's just a fairy book. It's very powerful in fighting. Can it help him break through?"
The Chi family members who spoke before were obviously not on the same page as him, and they immediately retorted:
"The Immortal also said that he could become a golden elixir. How is it now?"
Suddenly everyone was quarreling, and Li Yuanqin remained silent. Then he looked at the other Ning family members on the field. Their expressions were not very good either. They were all in a low mood, drinking heavily from their cups.
Without him, Yuan Yuan personally appointed Ning Heyuan as the head of the family a few days ago, and appointed him as the master of the Immortal Peak. Ning Heyuan accepted the order, and everyone in the Ning family naturally saw that Zhen Yuan Yuan did not have much time left.
His family was in ruins, so he certainly had no intention of joking, and the Ning family had sad faces. Li Yuanqin listened quietly, and finally saw that they had unified the topic and asked:
"Where is Master Yuan Xiu now?"
The Zifu within the sect saw that each and every one of them was about to perish. The unidentified Master Yuan Xiu suddenly became a favorite. Everyone turned their attention to the person in the corner.
This man was sitting in the corner with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a big smile. The Chi family said:
"Brother Si Honglang...do you know some news? Let everyone listen..."
Si Honglang is not very talented, nor is he outstanding. He is usually unknown among the crowd. Now he is finally proud and said:
"My master is good at keeping healthy, and he is the youngest among the three yuan. It's still early!"
Everyone laughed, and the Chi family, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped. Seeing a golden figure flying in front of them, slowly stopped in front of the city wall, his expression was cold, and his eyes swept in front of everyone.
Most of the young masters were timid and retreated one after another, lowering their heads and eyes. Only a few direct descendants of the Chi family were still tough, bowing and saying respectfully:
"Meet the general, brother Yuanqin is here."
Li Xuanfeng saw Li Yuanqin sitting in the crowd with a drunken face. Even the bow that the child carried on his back every day was thrown at his feet and lay coldly on the ground. He didn't speak for a while.
Everyone looked a little sad and didn't dare to speak, but there was a lot of gloating atmosphere secretly transmitted. Li Yuanqin got up from the ground, picked up the bow and arrow, and staggered to his father.
Li Xuanfeng glanced at him coldly, stretched out his hand to grab his collar, lifted him up without any courtesy, and flew quickly to the mansion on the golden magic wind. When the father and son left, the people on the spot laughed softly.
One person said:
"It's really a tiger father and a dog son!"
The direct descendant of the Chi family sat beside him with a smile on his face, and said:
"You idiot, Li Yuanqin is not a simple person, but he can't get along with his father!"
He was very proud.
Li Xuanfeng flew up on the wind and took Li Yuanqin all the way to the mansion. Then he let go and put him down in the yard. Li Yuanqin said nothing, tidied his clothes, and stood aside.
Li Xuanfeng stood quietly for a moment, whispering:
"I don't know how you became like this. When I return from the North Sea, I will take you to various places... Don't mix with them."
Li Yuanqin nodded, stepped back, said goodbye, and went downstairs. Li Xuanfeng stood there for a few breaths, then flew up on the wind and landed in the Element Cave.
Going around the stone statue at the door, the cave was still filled with white mist. Before Li Xuanfeng approached, he could hear the sound of spring water. He bowed and went in. The Element Master was still sitting on the jade platform.
He always had the round face of a twenty-something, sitting quietly in the first seat. Seeing Li Xuanfeng approaching, he finally stood up and whispered:
"Come with me to the North Sea."
