Chapter 126 The Soul Returns~
The struggling Li Longxiu quickly calmed down.
Li Jieqing glanced at the incense table beside him and saw that it was adorned with five kinds of grains and three kinds of sacrificial animals, which was quite abundant.
"You scoundrel, suddenly coming to the island to offer sacrifices, are you mourning? Or are you testing me?"
"I came here specifically to pay my respects after hearing that the Immortal Wangyue had passed away and that he had lived here during his lifetime."
Li Longxiu told the truth.
Li Jieqing nodded. Wangyue Daoren was obviously dead in the outer sea, so it was unlikely that anyone would use Li Longxiu's relationship to test him. Liang Qizhen would not have thought of this either.
Since it's not a trap, things are much easier to discuss.
Instead of immediately extracting the remaining wisps of blood energy, Li Jieqing asked again, "With the establishment of the Immortal City, you've already earned a position as a Seven True Immortal, thanks to your skill in engraving array patterns. How come you're only at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"
Li Longxiu's expression shifted slightly, and he smiled, "Every year I return to the mortal world, claiming to be the manifestation of the True Immortal Gazing at the Moon, to bring rain to Weize Township."
"..."
Li Jieqing was speechless for a moment.
Traveling thousands of miles every year to waste one's spiritual energy is essentially abandoning one's own path of cultivation.
Is this idea... correct?
Li Jieqing recalled the scene when Li Longxiu begged to become his disciple.
This person probably wanted to step into the realm of cultivation for all of this. Knowing that he was leaving, he cultivated on his own to ensure the good weather and abundant harvests of his hometown.
That's why I can laugh so happily from the bottom of my heart right now.
"Damn it, drink up!"
Li Jieqing took out a bottle of millennium-old stalactite milk from his storage bag and instructed the paper figure to pour it down Li Longxiu's throat.
Since this fellow is so filial and takes such good care of his hometown, then his uncle, who also comes from Weize Township, can't be neglected either.
We won't give you anything else, as it would be too easy to expose us.
By giving Li Longxiu a bottle of Millennium Stone Milk, which can hatch third-tier demonic beasts, and by performing a premature transformation of his tendons and marrow, the likelihood of him reaching the late stage of Qi Refining will greatly increase.
"By the way, how is the Wangyue Zhenxian Temple in Weize Township? Has the news spread far and wide?" Li Jieqing suddenly remembered this matter when he was drinking the thousand-year-old Zhongshi Milk and was told to sit cross-legged to digest it, and hurriedly asked.
Li Longxiu, who was on the ground with his eyes closed, trying to digest the medicine, replied distractedly, "No, my magic power is insufficient. I can only take care of the area near Weize Township and follow the instructions of the True Immortal Wangyue. I have not gone to other places to erect golden statues."
"That's good."
"but……"
"But?!" Li Jieqing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked over.
"However, the incense at the Wangyue Zhenxian Ancestral Temple in Weize Township is so popular that people worship there day and night. In recent years, the sword held by the golden statue has been flashing with a strange golden light from time to time."
The sword on the statue glowed, and the villagers of Weize Township took it as a divine manifestation, and they worshipped it even more devoutly.
However, Li Longxiu was also a cultivator, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the magic sword carved from mortal wood would glow. Since the matter involved the True Immortal Wangyue, it was not appropriate to ask outsiders to look into it, so he could only bury his confusion in his heart.
However, Li Longxiu did not know the reason.
Li Jieqing, however, understood somewhat.
According to the general description in "The Invisible Heavenly Sword", the golden body is a golden body, and the divine statue is a divine statue. After the golden body is fully formed, it will be sent to the Supreme Emperor Heaven.
The statues are like anchor points for the golden body in the mortal realm.
Li Jieqing carved a magic sword as the physical vessel for his golden body, according to the general principles of the "Invisible Heavenly Sword." Unexpectedly, this has now come to pass.
That's a bit too fast.
Li Jieqing originally felt that it would take at least several more decades for the golden statue to be fully completed, but now, based on the description, it seems that it will only take another year or two.
If you could only read one fantasy novel in your entire life, it would probably be "The Blood Clan's Cultivation Notes".
"It's rare for a dignified immortal cultivator to go to the mortal world every year to bring rain and perform miracles, yet you've helped cultivate a whole land of devout believers?"
Li Jieqing chuckled, raised his hand, and pressed it on the head of Li Longxiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The next moment, the few strands of blood essence that had just been placed in were taken out again.
"Each has its own way, that's good."
Li Jieqing would not show himself, nor was he willing to keep trying to persuade Li Longxiu to focus on spiritual practice.
We met by chance today, had a chat, and were very pleased.
Farewell.
Before Li Longxiu could open his eyes again, Li Jieqing walked away from Blood Bamboo Island, his hands behind his back, riding the wind.
After walking for a while, Li Longxiu recovered and, after a moment of silence, looked around anxiously.
I was just worshipping the Moon-Gazing Immortal when, for some reason, I seemed to hear the immortal appear before me, and it seemed... he praised me?!
"How long... have I been kneeling?"
Li Longxiu, who was already quite old, touched the top of his head and prepared to stand up.
At that moment, a roar came from the blood bamboo forest.
One by one, the blood bamboos collapsed, their branches and leaves lying on the ground, and a huge yellow worm's head emerged from the forest, opening its mouth.
You don't know the difference until you cultivate immortality. Li Longxiu, who was once a mortal, dared to draw his bow against Huang Chong. Now that he has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, he deeply understands the power of Huang Chong, a late-stage demon beast. For a moment, he stood still, not daring to move.
The yellow worm stared at him for a moment, then opened its mouth and swallowed the three sacrificial animals that had been laid out for worship, along with the incense table, in one gulp.
After chewing for a while, the yellow worm turned its head away, sniffed in the direction Li Jieqing had left, turned around and left, swimming back into the blood bamboo forest.
"call……"
As soon as the yellow worm left, Li Longxiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was truly the blessing of the Moon Gazing Immortal that had subdued the yellow-scaled eel, which still recognized him to this day.
Not daring to linger any longer, Li Longxiu rushed to the small boat and quickly sailed away.
……
……
South of Xiaoxin Island.
The blue waves rippled.
The sky is like an upside-down deep sea, and the clouds are like floating waves.
A long scarf hung across the sea and sky, swaying as if it were alive, drifting towards them at an extremely fast speed.
A woman sat on a long scarf. Judging from her appearance, she was no more than twenty years old. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her skin was as white as jade, and her hair was loosely tied up, held only by a red gold and kingfisher feather hairpin. The rest of her black hair fell to her shoulders and moved with the swaying of the long scarf.
How embarrassing!
"How hateful! How hateful! How hateful!"
"hateful!"
Seeing that she had escaped her pursuers, the woman gathered up the long scarf that had been spread out, leaving only about ten feet long. She placed it under her buttocks, which hung in the air. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she began to mutter incoherent curses, but it was unclear who she was cursing.
"Who is framing me?"
This woman is none other than the Fairy of Luxecolor from the Wanbaoge family, who has been reborn through possession of another body. Her identity has been confirmed by the Seven True Ones.
Furthermore, under pressure, Wanbaoge, which recently settled in Xiaoxin Island, has announced that it will abandon this person and will not interfere with the law enforcement of the Shangzong sect.
The Fairy of Luxury sat on the long scarf as if swinging on a swing. After a while of anger, she rested and finally came to her senses.
"Needless to say, it must be the person who rushed into the dragon louse's nest to search for treasure that day. This person is extremely despicable. After taking the upper-level treasures, he blew up the nest to call the great demon back. He was also the one who stirred up trouble on Little Xin Island and exposed me!"
"Damn it, who is this person?!"
One by one, her past enemies surfaced in Fairy Luxurious's mind, only to be rejected by her.
Xiaoxin Island is closed off, and Qi Zhen regards it as his private property. He strictly guards against outsiders who attempt to build their foundations, and each of them has a name.
"Could it be... that Baozhou didn't die either?"
