The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 88

Chapter 5: Yingning

Li Xun, constantly focused on integrating his Qi, sat on his cloud chariot. Occasionally, inspiration struck, and he would complete and refine his work. Despite the busy schedule, he found immense joy in watching his work grow from nothing into something, gradually taking shape.

Thanks to the cloud chariot, he could finally confirm that his forbidden technique cultivation, after receiving the infusion of information from Wuyinxuan, had steadily reached a new level.

The wondrous experience of creating something from nothing, of transforming a thousand things through a single change, and the fluidity of integrating with nature were all things he had previously longed for but hadn’t.

It was at this moment that he could truly claim to stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s greatest forbidden technique masters.

Just as he was feeling this euphoria, he felt someone tug at his clothes. Turning, he saw the orphan girl named Yingning, staring at him with eyes filled with pure admiration.

No one could resist such a gaze from a young girl, especially one so beautiful as Yingning.

While fiddling with the cloud chariot earlier, he had heard Lingji tell him about Yingning. He knew the child’s parents were a pair of independent cultivators practicing together. They weren’t particularly interested in ascending to immortality, preferring to wander the world and enjoy a leisurely life.

That’s why they willingly sacrificed their energy to give birth to Yingning.

The three of them lived a happy life.

However, a few months ago, Yingning was recognized by a cultivator as the rarest Yuantai Daoti in the Tongxuan Realm, a sudden disaster that brought them to their deaths.

Countless people coveted the Yuantai Daoti’s flawless, traversed constitution.

Although no one deliberately advertised its existence, hundreds of independent cultivators arrived, and Yingning’s parents finally succumbed.

Just then, Lingji and his group, who were away practicing cultivation, passed by. The master Mingde was also with them. Learning the true story, he came to their aid, defeating the independent cultivators and saving them.

Originally, they wanted to escort them to a safe place, but Yingning’s parents were very wary and unwilling to ask for help, so they took their daughter away again.

After a few days, it was today – Yingning and her companions were found by the group of unrepentant wandering cultivators. After a struggle, Yingning’s parents were both killed and their bodies were torn into pieces, leaving only an orphan Yingning. However, Lingji and others who were in a hurry to return to the mountain ran into them and came to their rescue. This is the scene that Li Xun saw.

Li Xun thought that this little girl had a pitiful life experience, was a child, and had the most suitable Yuantai Dao body for cultivation. The sect’s immortal master would surely not let go of such a good seedling. Probably, he would call Yingning “Junior Sister” soon after returning to the mountain.

So, he smiled slightly and said very kindly: Yingning, is there something wrong?

Yingning pursed her slightly pale lips slightly, as if she was making some decision.

Li Xun felt that her hand holding the corner of her clothes tightened.

She said, “Master Li, I think…”

Li Xun quickly waved his hand and said, “I’m not worthy of the title of Master. Just call me by my name. It’s also okay to be polite and call me Taoist Priest. If you like, you can also call me

Senior Brother. What a joke! I’m surrounded by fellow disciples. If this title gets out, where will the immortal masters be?”

Li Xun had been oscillating between two identities for years. For safety’s sake, he paid great attention to such details and didn’t dare to be as disrespectful as he was in the evil sect.

Yingning lowered his head upon hearing this, but quickly perked up, raised his head, and said solemnly, “Master Li, I think I would like to become your disciple. Will you agree to let me?”

Not only did Li Xun’s eyes widen, but even the fellow disciples flying swords around him opened their mouths in surprise.

No matter how Li Xun thought about it, he had never expected Yingning to have such thoughts. Surprised, he was also confused.

He smiled bitterly and said, “Become my disciple? I haven’t even finished my training yet, how can I teach you?”

Yingning grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook her head: No, you are very powerful!

She said that he was very powerful, but what the little girl meant was that he was the most powerful. Li Xun understood this very well, and he was a little amused and helpless for a while.

According to him, he must have chosen a very good time to appear. He left a strong impression on the little girl right from the start, and then he built the cloud car, which made Yingning misunderstand that he was the strongest one here, or even in the sect

. Under the sympathetic or playful eyes of his fellow disciples, Li Xun hurriedly explained to Yingning that in Lianxia Mountain, from the sect master Qingming on down, there were so many famous masters, and so many cultivators who were more suitable to be her master, and he was just an extremely inconspicuous one among them. Don’t choose the wrong master

and ruin your life. But a serious girl, her paranoia is simply unreasonable.

No matter how he persuaded her, the little girl was determined to let him be her master, and no one else would do!

This stretch of the journey was a hilarious comedy for Lingji and the others, and they happily arrived at the Lianxia Mountain territory.

As for Li Xun, his mouth was already dry and he wished he could transform into the Hundred Ghosts Taoist immediately, grab Yingning by the collar, and throw her in front of the Qingming Taoist without a word!

As the brilliant sunset filled the sky and the evening bell from Zhiguan Peak rang out melodiously into the clouds, Li Xun sighed, took Yingning’s small hand, and jumped off the cloud car.

In a sense, this announced his failure after several hours of hard work.

How many years had it been since he had felt this kind of frustration?

Sect disciples had already heard the news and rushed to help care for the injured, and sent a message for Wen Hai and Li Xun to meet the sect master.

With this excuse, Li Xun finally broke free from Yingning’s entanglement, handed Yingning over to the care of a senior sister as if he had been pardoned, and headed towards Zhiguan Peak with Wen Hai.

Qingming had been cultivating in the Weiming Monastery for recent years, a fact Wen Hai and Li Xun were well aware of. Without needing a guide, they soared to Zhiguan Peak on their swords, landed outside the Moming Monastery as a sign of respect, and then walked inside.

Li Jun had mixed feelings about this small Taoist temple.

It was here that he had officially become a disciple of the Mingxin Sword Sect, and it was here that he first met Qingming and his long-deceased master.

Thinking back to his fear and trepidation back then, and then looking back at the calmness with which he entered without notice today, this was the wonder of life.

Entering the main gate and the main hall, the most striking object was a longsword, sheathed and inserted half a foot into the ground.

The sword was straight and sharp, its appearance simple and ancient, and aside from the odd placement of its hilt, there was nothing remarkable about it. Yet, as Li Xun and the other two passed by, they both offered a half-bow as a sign of respect,

a gesture they performed with no forced effort.

Because they all knew perfectly well how revered this sword had been in the hands of its previous owner.

It was the divine sword that Zhong Yin wielded to traverse the world, shattering Zhu Gou, destroying the Seven Netherworlds, shaking the demon sword, and traversing the galaxy, unstoppable.

During his ascension, Zhong Yin, with his supreme magical power, transformed the sword into a rainbow and descended upon Zhiguan Peak. Sixty-two years have passed since then.

The nine forbidden techniques of Lianxia Mountain are centered around this sword, unfolding layer by layer, integrating billions of energies with the might and supernatural power to move mountains and overturn seas.

This was also the precious legacy that Zhong Yin left for the Mingxin Sword Sect.

When the two men saluted and looked up, they were shocked to find Qingming standing in front of the hall, smiling in their direction.

They hurriedly saluted again, but were stopped by Qingming.

Sixty years meant almost nothing to Qingming, a man of great virtue. Time had left no trace on him, except that his eyes seemed to have deepened.

Qingming had summoned the two men for no particular purpose, simply to hear the details of what had happened down the mountain. Wenhai then took the lead, recounting the entire trip in detail.

Li Xun filled in the gaps.

Qingming was deeply concerned about Niu Lishi’s death and asked very detailed questions. Li Xun felt that he had asked more questions than Wenhai had asked about the entire incident.

Although Li Xun had been prepared, Qingming’s many practical questions still overwhelmed him, but fortunately, he did not make any mistakes.

After Qingming finished asking all the questions, he stopped talking. But Li Xun felt that Qingming should have drawn a conclusion from his words.

Of course, as long as it did not involve him, Li Xun had no interest in knowing.

Finally, Wen Hai jokingly mentioned that Yingning wanted to worship Li Xun as his master. He just said it as a joke, but he did not expect that Qingming would take it seriously.

“Accept a disciple? Sure.” Qingming stroked his beard and smiled, saying it with ease.

“If Xun’er, you can accept the first fourth-generation disciple for the sect, I would also be happy to see it happen. The other things are fine, but your forbidden method comes from our sect, but it is unique and outstanding. It is not enough to be able to establish a sect, but it is more than enough to teach disciples.”

Li Xun hurriedly said that he dared not. He still thought Qingming was joking at this time, but Qingming’s arrangement made him speechless.

“It’s just that it’s still a bit hasty to accept a disciple now. Although that child has a good physique, her mind is still unstable and we shouldn’t act rashly. Wenhai, go and make arrangements. Let that child fetch water and open mountains with the new disciples. If she can endure it, in a year at least and three years at most, you can arrange for her to become a disciple!

” Grandmaster

Qingming waved his hand to interrupt him: Xun’er, you must know that for a cultivator, opportunity is the most important thing. Since that child has chosen you, let alone other things, this fate alone should not be neglected. Of course, if she can’t make it through the first level, or forgets about it after a while, it means that God has other arrangements. It’s not too late to talk about it then!

Qingming’s arrangements were comprehensive. Although Li Xun was still a little reluctant in his heart, he had nothing to say and had to agree.

At Qingming’s signal, Wenhai went down the mountain to arrange this matter. Li Xun also wanted to take his leave, but was stopped by Qingming: “You haven’t been back to the mountain for more than two years. Why are you always following the example of your uncle Mingji? How long will you stay this time?”

The tone of Qingming’s words was no longer that of a sect leader, but that of a kind elder.

No matter how wary Li Xun was of him, he felt warmed at hearing these words.

He also had a plan for this, so he said solemnly: “Master’s memorial day will be in three months. I will burn incense for Master, and then it won’t be too late to arrange the itinerary.

” Qingming was obviously very satisfied with his answer, and the mention of Lin Ge made Qingming’s already crystal clear Dao heart waver slightly.

He sighed slowly, his face a mixture of relief and sadness, and he looked a little older.

“It’s good that you have this intention!”

He seemed to realize his loss of composure and quickly smiled again.

“How about this, it’s rare that you’ve been in the mountains for such a long time, so when you have time, go to Zuwang Peak and take a look. Over the years, the residences of your sixth great-grandfather, Immortal Master Qingyin, have been cleaned up by us, the older generation. You are the only disciple valued by them over the years, so when you have time, go up and clean them up.

” Li Xun said nothing and nodded in agreement.

Qingming didn’t understand what was wrong with Baiji, and he kept talking about such sad topics. After thinking about it, he sighed, not wanting to show his weakness in front of his disciples, so he simply turned and left.

Because of this, he didn’t see how pale and gloomy Li Xun’s drooping face was.

“Valued by them?”

Li Jun pursed his lips and flew slowly in the air.

Qingming’s thoughts should represent the voice of everyone in Mingxin Sword Sect.

But how could they know that this regard was like a poisonous fire burning within him, slowly consuming his heart, a constant reminder that in the eyes of some, his worth was nothing more than a pile of shit!

They abused his feelings, trampled on his dignity, and then tossed him a few bones like a toy, calling it regard?

Who wanted this kind of regard? What bastard would appreciate this kind of regard?

The poisonous fire burned relentlessly, seeping its poison into his veins bit by bit. It was like millions of venomous snakes gnawing at his flesh and soul.

He felt like he had truly become a venomous snake, cloaked in the skin of a cat or dog, wagging its tail at its so-called master.

But in reality, it was waiting for an opportunity to pounce and take a swift bite! And

judging by the current situation, that opportunity seemed to have arrived.

With so much on his mind, he hadn’t been able to calm down and carefully consider the cause and effect of the Niu Lishi incident. Now, with nothing else to do, his mind raced.

The entire process, from Niu Lishi’s appearance to the sight of the cat’s letter, resurfaced.

One thing is certain: Niu Lishi’s cultivation led him to a state of madness!

The deployment of the North Pole’s trump card, Demon Luohou, showed they were still extremely nervous about Niu Lishi and determined to kill him swiftly.

Considering Lin Wuyou’s veiled threat, what had happened in the North Pole?

Everyone knew that the North Pole Loose Cultivator Alliance had never been united since its founding.

Over sixty years later, while the alliance’s basic organizational structure remained unchanged, it underwent constant fine-tuning.

The six councilors had increased to ten, the Tongyan Hall had expanded to eighty-one, and the Four Directions Reception Office, responsible for external affairs, boasted a staggeringly complex staff.

This created the perfect breeding ground for internal strife.

On the bright side, perhaps one day the Loose Cultivator Alliance would be disbanded.

But could those cunning bitches in the Arctic, and the mysterious, even reckless Jade Wanderer, allow such a situation to happen?

Jade Wanderer

Li Xun let out a long sigh. Perhaps it was the unforgettable experience of his youth, but the thought of Jade Wanderer’s question made him unable to help but touch his face.

It was the same now, as he gently stroked his cheek with his fingertips, pondering Niu Lishi’s seemingly meaningless nonsense.

The information left on Niu Lishi was too little, but precisely because of this, his thoughts raced in a chaotic and chaotic manner.

Li Xun’s guesses came one after another, and then he quickly rejected them one after another.

When he had rejected them all, his mind was blank.

He slapped his head hard and forced himself to think from the beginning. In fact, if this matter is simplified, there are only two possibilities: first, Yu Sanren is dead; second, Yu Sanren is still alive.

All the questions are derived from these two possibilities.

For example, assuming that Yu Sanren is dead, then when did he die? How did he die? If there is a murderer, who did it? What is the attitude of Gu Yin and others to this? How did Niu Lishi know? Is the source of information credible? And so on and so forth.

On the other hand, if Yu Sanren is not dead. Then, is Niu Lishi’s claim of death just nonsense? What is the purpose of the implicit threat in Lin Wuyou’s words? Why is Niu Lishi being hunted by the demon Luo Hou Wanli

? Wait a minute!

Li Xun squeezed his face with his hands. He suddenly realized that his thoughts were instinctively gravitating towards the conclusion that Yu San Ren was dead. This irrational perception was a major taboo when analyzing a problem. He needed to calm down. Just

then, the sound of a flute reached his ears, and his thoughts immediately became chaotic. Li Xun was furious, his eyes shifting, scanning his surroundings: Who the hell is playing this?

Not seeing his target at first glance, Li Xun became even more annoyed. He simply stopped thinking and followed the sound, searching for the flute player.

But after listening carefully, Li Xun’s anger was largely dispelled.

The sound was extremely sad, the notes piercing the clouds in the sky, falling like a drizzle, extremely melodious.

This person’s cultivation was also quite pure. The flute sound flowed like a gossamer, yet it was clear as if it were right next to his ear. He must be a leader among the third generation of disciples in the sect.

But since he is a top-notch person, his mental cultivation should also be in sync. How could he play such a sad music without any of the calmness and freedom of a Taoist monk? As

this thought came to his mind, he became even more curious. At this time, he had lost his temper and just wanted to see who the person playing the flute was.

It was getting late at night, and the music was getting clearer. He flew for a few miles and saw a sparse forest in front of him. Through the forest, he could hear the gurgling sound of flowing water, and the sound of the flute became even more sad and melodious.

It can be heard that the flute player also wanted to relieve himself with the sound of the flute, but he was filled with emotions and became more and more uncontrollable. He could no longer stop.

Li Xun frowned and was about to go through the forest when he saw a figure huddled under a big tree in the forest. He was sneaky and looked awkward no matter how he looked at him. Li Xun moved closer silently and when he looked at him again, he couldn’t help but smile. Isn’t this Shan Zhi?

After not seeing him for a few years, he’s become even more incompetent!

If the sect were to choose the disciple who had made the least progress in the past sixty years, Shan Zhi would undoubtedly be the top choice.

This former servant boy, because of his talent, was accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Master Mingsong as an exception, becoming the envy of all the children who carried water and

worked on the mountain. However, precisely because of this exception, his mind and cultivation were built on an extremely fragile foundation. Moreover, he lacked the ability to strive, which made his cultivation increasingly frivolous, and his once excellent physical condition was completely wasted.

Not to mention Li Jun, even a disciple who had been a disciple for twenty years or so could defeat him with a steady and cautious approach.

The more frivolous, the less competent; the less competent, the more inferior; the inferior, the more paranoid.

When Li Xun saw him like this, he knew without hesitation that the person playing the flute in the woods must be Bi.

A friend who could be said to have shared hardships with him, and also a chess piece that Li Xun had carefully cultivated. Even if it was for himself, he was very curious about what Qi Bi was sad about.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: Senior sister is really elegant, coming to Zuowang Peak to play the flute to entertain herself. Senior Brother Wenhai has returned, and we also brought a very difficult little girl here

as if chatting about family matters. He talked about some topics about Wenhai, but saw that Qi Bi’s expression was indifferent, and there was no obvious reaction. However, she seemed to be very concerned about Yingning he mentioned, and most of her responses were about this little girl.

Especially when she heard that Yingning’s parents had lost their cultivation to give birth to a child, Qi Bi’s reaction was even more strange.

Li Xun felt that there was something going on. He changed the subject and suddenly asked: Senior sister, are you unhappy today?

“Ah, no!” Qi Bi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: How can I not be happy to see you, junior brother, come back.

“I believe this! Li Tao agreed with Qi Bi’s statement without blushing, but quickly added: “It’s just that before Senior Sister met me, that flute piece you played sounded very sad, which is not good for your cultivation!”

He looked sincere, and Qi Bi was naturally grateful. But after thanking him, Qi Bi smiled bitterly and said: “You can talk about cultivation just by playing a piece of music. Is it possible that all things in the world are aimed at achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven?”

Although the tone of her words was relatively gentle, Li Xun could hear a hint of resentment and blame in them.

Li Xun felt clear-headed and continued along with her tone: “Of course, there are more things in the world than just achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven, but for practitioners like me, this is our ultimate goal.” Who in the sect doesn’t want to become the second Immortal Master Zhong Yin? Bai Ran was still the most important thing about this matter of cultivation.

He said a few words, and then, as if he had just realized something, he asked curiously: “Could it be that Senior Brother Wen Hai also mentioned this? What’s the reason?”

Qi Bi hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Li Xun’s extremely sincere and gentle eyes, she blurted out for some reason: I want a child!

Li Xun secretly exclaimed that it was so, and his face naturally turned into a stunned one: Want a child?

Qi Bi was still wondering why she would say such a sexy thing, and her face was full of shame. But when she saw Li Xun’s reaction was almost the same as Wen Hai’s, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, which made her forget her reserve, and she said very firmly: Yes, I want a child! Is that not okay?

“Why do women always want a child?”

Li Xun was partly pretending, but mostly he was really confused.

At this moment, Li Xun naturally thought of Lin Ge and Yao Feng. Back then, wasn’t the cause of that earth-shaking love and hatred a little life that shouldn’t have existed?

He saw the incident itself clearly, but he couldn’t understand the reasons behind it.

Of course, he wouldn’t say such things lightly, but hesitantly said: “This dual cultivation and childbearing is a taboo in Taoism. Having children is certainly a good thing, but if it shakes your foundation of Taoism, it would be a bit

… “The foundation of Taoism can be rebuilt if it is lost. Don’t we have hundreds or thousands of years to tolerate the influence of a child for a few decades?”

Qi Bi had obviously been holding back her words for too long. At this moment, she simply regarded Li Xun as Wen Hai. She was always gentle, but her voice was a bit sharp.

“It is true that achieving Taoism is right, but that is only the ultimate goal. Before achieving the goal, is there only one practice? Always talking about the progress of Taoism. Ha, can the Tao be calculated in scales? Is this about achieving Taoism, or competing with others for Taoism? Is this a competition with heaven, or with people?

Competing with others for Taoism? Competing with people?

Li Xun knew Qi Bi was genuinely treating him like Wen Hai, and precisely because of this, he felt his words contained valuable information.

Who was Hai fighting against?

Was there anything in the entire Mingxin Sword Sect that he needed to fight for?

He vaguely sensed something, but quickly recovered. Looking at the agitated Qi Bi, Li Xun felt a surge of emotion.

Somehow, his imagination had been incredibly rich today. He had just thought of Lin Yan and Yao Feng, and now he remembered what Shui Dielan had said.

Thinking of Shui Dielan’s explanation for the relationship between men and women, Li Xun finally became confused. Could it be that love, like this, really couldn’t last forever, that its lifespan was only a few decades?

With Yao Feng and Lin Geshan already here, Qi Bi and Wen Hai seemed to be moving in the same direction. In that respect, Shui Dielan’s words were correct.

But then there was Qing Yin and Yu San Ren!

How had their relationship lasted for millennia?

It was a real puzzle!

He felt like he was thinking of something, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Qi Bi’s mood seemed off, and logically, he should have offered some comfort. However, in his confusion, he didn’t even know what he had just said.

Time slowly helped Qi Bi recover. Seeing the two of them talking nonsense, and feeling her temper towards Li Xun was completely unjustified, she couldn’t help but laugh. As she laughed, she quickly wiped away the tears that had reappeared.

Li Xun pretended not to notice, deciding not to dwell on the issue.

Even before him, Qi Bi had already begun to change the subject: “Junior Brother Xun, where are you going?

” “I haven’t been back to the mountain in a while. I’m just wandering around .

” He had just said it casually, but Qi Bi hadn’t expected her to understand something else. “Junior Brother Xun, wandering around. I’m going to the peak to collect herbs. Are you interested in coming with me? We could even visit the former residences of the two immortal masters along the way!”

The two immortal masters in question were, of course, Zhong Yin and Qing Yin.

Judging from Qi Bi’s expression, it was clear that she was convinced that Zhong Yin and Qing Yin valued him. But by then he no longer had the energy to argue.

“Uh, okay!”

In this situation, Li Xun didn’t even have the chance to refuse.

But he felt that Qi Bi’s behavior was a little abnormal. Li Xun suspected that Qi Bi was taking this opportunity to avoid meeting Wen Hai.

From this, one can imagine how strained the relationship between the two is now!

Of course, after the previous mediation failed miserably, even if the couple broke up and went their separate ways, Li Xun would not be a good person anymore.

At the moment, he pretended to be ignorant and deliberately found a few interesting things when he was practicing outside, and chatted and laughed with Qi Bi.

When Li Xun and the others flew to their destination, it was already the evening of the third day.

Li Xun naturally saved his strength, but he saw from it that Qi Bi’s cultivation seemed to have improved in the past sixty years.

This thought was only a flash of the mind, and Li Xun’s mind was soon distracted by the familiar scenery nearby.

The sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, rubbing against the branches, was like the sound of Qi Bi’s flute, mournful and lingering.

Amidst the sparse trees, a lake opened up the view, and with a quick glance, he saw the elegant bamboo hut by the lake.

The moment he saw the hut, he felt as if he had been punched in the chest, or as if a poisonous fire had burned his heart.

He had thought he had prepared himself mentally, but in the end, he couldn’t help it!

Qi Bi, who was standing in front of him, didn’t notice his slightly distorted face, and walked over first, gently pushing open the door of the bamboo hut.

“This is the place that all the immortal masters clean most frequently. Just take my master for example, he comes here every three or two months. Then again, although my junior brother isn’t often in the mountains, he should have been here quite a few times.

In fact, not even once!

” Li Xun sneered inwardly, followed Qi Bi into the house, and looked around.

Although the sky was gradually darkening, the bamboo hut was still spotless, clearly demonstrating the truth of Qingming and Qibi’s words. The furnishings

were meticulously preserved to preserve their original appearance when the owner left. Even the jade flute casually placed on the table was held at the same angle as it had been sixty years ago when Qingyin had casually set it down.

Li Xun’s mind wandered slightly to this familiar scene.

It was here that he had learned to play the flute from Qingyin, talked to her, and made her happy. Back then, had he ever imagined what he would look like now?

Now, Qingyin was probably lying in someone’s arms, learning to play the flute from that person, talking to that person, and making that person happy. What kind of mocking attitude would she have when he occasionally mentioned that foolish boy Lian Xiashan?

Qibi had wanted to talk to him, but seeing his grim expression, she assumed he was upset by the memory—of course, her imagined sadness was completely different from the truth.

She was a very considerate person, so she naturally refrained from disturbing him. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he thought for a moment, then went into the inner room and took something out.

Li Xun’s eyes suddenly lit up, and this sudden light made the entire outer hall bright and eye-catching.

Looking up, it was Qi Bi who came out from the inner room holding a crystal-like transparent round stone. But unlike crystal, the natural lines in the round stone rolled in the light, and it looked like an ancient seal character for “forget”.

“Zuowang Stone?”

As he spoke, the light gradually dimmed, and the thing became less gray. Qi Bi gently stroked the stone again, and the light came back.

That’s right.

This is the rare specialty of Zuowang Peak, the Zuowang Stone!

When Li Xun climbed the peak, he also held a piece, but later Qing Yin used it on him, confirming his lonely and evil appearance.

However, this stone is truly extremely rare. Li Xun has been a disciple for over seventy years, and the only piece he has seen is the one in his hand. The one in front of him is the second one.

“This Zuwang Stone has always been placed in the drawer of the immortal master’s dressing table. I took it out and used it.” Qi Bi, still a caring senior sister, smiled and said: “It’s getting late, let’s rest here for a while. You tidy up the room, and I’ll go outside to find some fruits. It’s

so clean here. The so-called tidying up is just an excuse. It’s obvious that Qi Bi’s intention is to let Li Xun rest.”

Under the reflection of the light, Li Xun could clearly see that Qi Bi’s face was slightly tired, which should be the effect of three days and nights of flying.

If it were a normal day, Li Xun would not let her work harder even if it was just for show, but now, Li Xun was in a low mood and was not thinking carefully. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and let her go.

It wasn’t until Qi Bi left the room that he realized something was wrong, but he was already half a step too late. Qi Bi had already gone far away. He had no choice but to come back and wipe the table twice to make up for it, but didn’t get any dust on it.

He sighed, knowing he had nothing to do for the time being, and prepared to sit down and wait.

But even as the thought crossed his mind, something clicked in his heart.

“Huh, you’re here so soon?” He turned, taking the opportunity to adjust his composure, and said with a smile, “Senior Sister Qi

.” Before he could finish his words, someone stepped through the door. Their eyes met, and they were both startled.

“Li Xun?

” “Fourth Uncle-Master?”
