Chapter Twenty-Three: The Covenant of the Thirty Years
When they met Qing Qiuzi, Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen explained to him what they were experiencing now. This situation made Qing Qiuzi frown tightly, feeling troublesome.
The Blazing Mountain Floating Cloud Cave lineage belongs to the middle force between good and evil in the cultivation world. Judging from the domineering behavior of Sha Haotian and Zhu Xiuzhen, they are not righteous people, but they have not done anything angry and resentful, plus Sha Haotian is extremely strong, and Zhu Xiuzhen is not weak, so the righteous and evil sects in the cultivation world have to give them three points of face and try not to offend them.
However, for the time being......
"It doesn't seem feasible not to offend them!" Qing Qiuzi looked at Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen, who were still a little unwilling and angry, and gently stroked his forehead, this time he also felt a headache.
"Alas...... You old boy, why is your curiosity so heavy? When you come to this kind of thing, it's all self-inflicted......" Qing Qiuzi sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he regretted it a little.
However, the incident has happened, no matter how much he regrets it, he is helpless, and as a member of the righteous path, he is still more inclined to Li Jingxuan's side in his heart, and he is not used to Zhu Xiuzhen's behavior of robbing people without saying a word. He felt that Zhu Xiuzhen was too embarrassed to do this.
“...... You can even coerce and coerce. With the robbery, this is too untechnical. Anyway, you are also a master of the Yuan Realm, don't be as direct as a child! Some small things, we didn't bother you with the Floating Cloud Cave, but you can also be considerate of us...... Give us a step. Don't make everyone upset. Qing Qiuzi was broken in his heart.
It's just that in front of Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen, no matter how much dissatisfaction he has in his heart, he has to be righteous and strict first. After all, he is a righteous person after all, and he must stand firm on the righteous standpoint.
"Don't worry, I'll help you ask about this matter. At all costs...... I'll give you an answer that satisfies you. Qing Qiuzi assured Li Jingxuan.
"Okay!" Li Jingxuan nodded, feeling a little helpless in his heart. However, after all, he was different from those real enthusiastic youths, and in front of Qing Qiuzi's gaze, he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction.
The matter was so decided in desperation. Qingqiu took Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen back to a manor in the Qiantian Palace in Hecheng, Lizhou. This is the office base of the Qiantian Palace in Lizhou, and it is an industry of the disciples of the outer sect of the Qiantian Palace.
The Qiantian Palace is different from the Immortal Sect, it is a large sect that has been passed down for more than 10,000 years. As the first sect of the four major sects in Yanzhou, the influence of Qiantian Palace is not limited to Yanzhou, Yanzhou is its base camp, but outside of Yanzhou, there are industrial strongholds of Qiantian Palace in the entire northern border of Qianguo. For the Qiantian Palace, the inheritance of the sect was not something they needed to worry about, their idea was to expand the power of the Qiantian Palace to the entire Aurora Continent as much as possible. Becoming the head of the ten major sects in the Aurora Continent is the goal of the Qiantian Palace.
The environment of the manor is quiet, elegant and pure, and it is most suitable for recuperation and submersion. Li Jingxuan stayed here, waiting for the reply from the Qiantian Palace, and recuperating here.
Ling Chen had already left, and after making sure that Li Jingxuan was already under the protection of the Qiantian Palace, he said goodbye to Li Jingxuan. As a scattered person, although he is also a person in the righteous path, some of his actions are not favored by the disciples of the sect, and he himself is not very accustomed to the style of the disciples of the sect.
So, he left.
Li Jingxuan didn't keep him, because he was just a guest here. There was no way, Li Jingxuan, who had nothing to do, could only thank him again and again.
After all, the other party saved his life.
Time has passed slowly, and it has been a month in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a disciple of the Qiantian Palace knocked on Li Jingxuan's door: "Senior Brother Jingxuan, Elder Qingluo and Elder Qingqiu are here. They want to see you. ”
"Oh!" Li Jingxuan nodded, and jumped off the bed where he was sitting cross-legged with a slight force.
A month has not only allowed him to recover from all the injuries he had suffered, but also made his strength much higher than a month ago. As far as the realm is concerned, he has already reached the peak of the tenth layer of the Forging Body Realm, and he is only one line away from breaking through the Forging Body Realm and entering the Qi Induction Realm. Basically, he reached the level of his own senior sister a month ago.
At this time, he jumped down, seemingly fierce, but his body was lighter than a fallen leaf. His feet landed lightly on the ground, and he stepped on them, not splashing a single dust at all.
“...... It's so strong!" Li Jingxuan stood up and saw that the disciple of the Qiantian Palace was slightly stunned.
As a disciple of the Qiantian Palace, although he is from the outer gate, it is not that he has never seen a master, but there is no master they have seen who can control his body so well in the forging body realm like Li Jingxuan, and lift his weight as lightly.
"Let's go!" Li Jingxuan, who fell to the ground, flicked his left sleeve lightly, and said to the disciple when he heard the words.
"Ah...... Yes!" When Li Jingxuan said this, the disciple came to his senses and immediately walked in front to lead Li Jingxuan.
After turning around in this manor, Li Jingxuan came to the hall of the manor.
There weren't many people in the hall, the two elders of the Qiantian Palace, Qingluo and Qingqiu, were sitting on the main seat of the hall, and on their left and right hands were some other figures of the Qiantian Palace who looked like stewards.
Li Jingxuan entered the hall under the leadership of that disciple, bowed to the two elders of the Qiantian Palace, and then stood opposite the two of them in a very regular manner. At this moment, he was not too rude, nor did he overly slap the two elders of the Qiantian Palace. Because in front of the two people in the Qiantian Palace, he represents the Immortal Sect - the sect is different, so this ceremony is naturally light. His salute is just an expression of the respect that the juniors have for their predecessors.
"Master Jingxuan's nephew...... There is news about your senior sister. "It was Elder Qingqiu of the Qiantian Palace who spoke. Because he is familiar with Li Jingxuan, it is up to him to talk about this matter.
As for Elder Qingluo, who was sitting beside him, he had a stinky face, as if he owed someone eight hundred taels of silver.
In fact, his mood at the moment is really not very good.
"How is Senior Sister now? Are you still refusing to let people go from Fuyun Cave?" Li Jingxuan didn't see any trace of his senior sister in this room, so he asked.
"Well, Zhu Xiuzhen's girls are tough and ruthless, we have all the good things to say, but she still doesn't agree...... We don't embarrass her for the sake of the same race, she actually treats us as weak chickens. This girl is really ......" Qingluo said and slapped the coffee table on his left hand side heavily, and the anger in his heart appeared.
Li Jingxuan listened to what he said, and naturally understood who his anger was aimed at.
"That'...... What is the situation now? Don't you have any choice?" Li Jingxuan was also angry at this time, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and tried his best to suppress the grievances in his heart.
"Not really...... Although Zhu Xiuzhen is tough, her husband Sha Haotian is still relatively easy to speak. He didn't want to get into too much trouble with us, so in the end we reached a series of agreements: first, Zhu Xiuzhen accepted Lingyun as an apprentice in his personal name, and did not mention the marriage between Lingyun and his son Sha He for thirty years; second, our Qiantian Palace will provide five Longevity Pills to Sha Haotian to renew his son's life; third, we will provide you with one Longevity Pill and two Peiyuan Pills - if you can break through the Forging Body Realm and cultivate into a refining god within thirty years, you will have a competition with Sha He in thirty years, and decide your senior sister's marriage by victory or defeat. Qingqiu said calmly.
"Is this the final decision?" asked Li Jingxuan in a low voice.
At this moment, his heart was surging with anger, but in this situation in front of him, what could he do?
Strength, without power, he can't overturn such a decision.
"What if...... If you don't object, that's true......" Qingqiu nodded heavily, confirming this.
"Okay, then give me Yanshou Dan and Pei Yuan Dan...... "Sure that this is really unchangeable, Li Jingxuan had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit this matter.
There's no way, if you don't admit it, you can't do it!
After all, what everyone has decided about the spirit realm bosses, you are qualified to oppose it as a little shrimp in the body forging realm? Even if you object, people will agree to do what you say?
Who do you think you are?
Son of Heaven?
Even if you are a true son of the Heavenly Dao, as long as you don't grow up, you will just be slapped to death by others.
With great power comes great responsibility. Of course, this is to tell you that after you have great power, you have to take responsibility accordingly, but it also does not mean that you should not worry about that mind until you have that ability.
Exhaling deeply, inhaling deeply, Li Jingxuan repeated this three times, and finally suppressed the unwillingness in his heart. It's just that while he suppressed this matter, he didn't fail to make a note in his heart about Sha Haotian and Zhu Xiuzhen of the Blazing Mountain Fuyun Cave, a pair of dog men and women, and the people in the Qiantian Palace who were always clamoring to take care of the overall situation.
"You people waiting...... If one day, I am developed, I will always ......," Li Jingxuan muttered to herself.
Although in terms of reason, he also understood that the Qiantian Palace's handling of the Blazing Mountain Floating Cloud Cave was not wrong in terms of the overall situation of the human race, he was not that kind of pure rational character after all. For him, sacrificing for the sake of the overall situation is good, but sacrificing this file to get his classmates is still inexplicable, and he feels very unhappy.
At this moment, his consciousness is not so high.
Taking over the two jade boxes from Qingqiu's hands, Li Jingxuan opened them in front of them, sniffed the smell of the pills in them, and confirmed that the ones stored in them were indeed the longevity pill and the Peiyuan pill, and then said goodbye to the two.
"Since...... Senior Sister's matter has been decided, then I will leave here!" Li Jingxuan said coldly.
"Why is this so? Now the Ancestral Spirit Hall is looking for you all over the world...... Why don't you stay here for a little longer, do you think that our Qiantian Palace can't protect you?" Qingqiu also wanted to keep Li Jingxuan.
"That's not ......" Li Jingxuan's voice was still cold, but the look on his face was still a little warmer in the face of Qingqiu: "You have also seen that I am a one-armed man." In order to practice, I had to go overseas to find a way to regenerate my limbs. Otherwise, thirty years later, I won't be able to break through to the Divine Refining Gods no matter what. Fuyun Cave, such a big name, but I don't want to lose...... For myself, for my sister, and for the sake of my future teacher, I have to try my luck. ”
"In that case...... Then I won't keep you either. But the way you look with one arm right now is too eye-catching. I'm afraid that before I go out, I will be discovered by the people of the Ancestral Spirit Palace. Qingqiu stroked the three strands of black whiskers under his chin and thought silently, and then made up his mind: "Since you want to go overseas, then I will hide your traces for you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a lump of mud from his storage ring and handed it to Li Jingxuan.
"This is the three-element Qingshen mud...... It is a treasure of the lower grade of the yellow level, and it has no other function, that is, it can change the appearance of people and avoid the tracking of treasures below the green level. I think these things can condense into an arm without vitality for you to a certain extent...... Although it can't provide you with great combat power, it is enough to confuse people's ears and eyes. Qingqiu explained for Li Jingxuan.
"This ......" Li Jingxuan hesitated slightly, and wanted to refuse, but after seeing Qingqiu's eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, only concern and guilt, he finally took the lump of yellow mud.
"How should I use it?" asked Li Jingxuan.
"Press it on the surface of the limb you want to shape, then control it with your spirit and vitality, and turn it into the shape you want. Qingqiu said.
"I see...... Then thank you Elder Qingqiu. Li Jingxuan bowed his hand politely to Qingqiu and walked out of the gate of the manor.
Li Jingxuan walked neatly, but the two Qiantian Palace elders sitting in the hall were stunned.
"He just left, so simply?" Qingluo asked a little dumbfounded, "This seems to be a little wrong." ”
"What's wrong?" Qingqiu asked incomprehensibly.
"Shouldn't he be respectful to us and ask for our protection? Qingluo said as a matter of course.
In the Qiantian Palace, he was the elder in charge of transmitting the gong, and he was already very used to similar things. At this time, Li Jingxuan, who was not so kind to him, suddenly came, and he was a little surprised.
"Khan ...... Do you still think this is in the sect?" Qingqiu slapped his head hard, a little speechless at his senior brother's stunnedness.
"It's not the same with the sect...... At least that's what the people in the Floating Cloud Cave prayed to me for. Qingluo gave an example.
"You didn't give them the sect's sword duel technique. Qingqiu asked with some concern.
"How is this possible? I will keep it a secret. Qingluo punched the package ticket, "By the way, you haven't said why that kid doesn't want to see us." Qingluo asked again.
Although he is a little ignorant of the world, he still understands what is going on in his heart. Even though Li Jingxuan hid his mind well, he still saw some signs at once.
"I guess he is not satisfied with the conditions set by the bigwigs above! After all, his senior sister is still in the hands of that mother-in-law......" Qingqiu saw this more clearly.
"That's not our fault...... The Ancestral Spirit Hall has invaded Yanzhou, and at this time, we can't start a war with the Floating Cloud Cave. Qingluo frowned tightly: "Why doesn't that kid know how to prioritize at all." ”
"It's normal for young people to be a little angry. Qingqiu said: "Speaking of this, we are indeed a little sorry for him. That's why I ......"
"I understand! I hope he can figure this out in the future!" Qingluo sighed helplessly.
