As the end of the month approached, the Shaw House became busier and busier.

Although most families in the Zixuan Dynasty have some kind of hostility towards the Xiao family, they still have to admit the strength of the Xiao Mansion. At least, Xiao Shaofeng is still very powerful at the moment, except for those cultivators who have already survived the wind and fire tribulation, even those cultivators of the major families who are in the same realm as Xiao Shaofeng will not be his opponents.

And Lu Li, after seeing Xiao Shaofeng himself, he didn't feel that he was really sure that he could easily defeat him.

Therefore, no matter what you say, those major families who have received the invitation of the Xiao family will inevitably attend this birthday banquet at that time.

But all of this has nothing to do with Lu Li.

Anyway, from the beginning, he didn't plan to participate in this feast.

Today's Lu Li, in addition to his own cultivation every day, is to occasionally give guidance to the Gu family's guards.

Although he has not practiced the practice of physical sanctification, and there are still some essential differences between the physical sanctification of the martial vein and the meditation of the Buddha vein, but Lu Li has a high realm after all, and he has been guided by Xia Longyin and Gao Ren, so he naturally stands at a relatively high level in terms of looking at the problem, plus he himself is also a sword cultivator, and the two introductory exercises of "Mountains and Rivers Jue" and "Son of Heaven Jue" also have a little similarity between meditation and physical sanctification, so Lu Li is effortless to point out.

However, that's all he can do.

If it was replaced by an Immortal Realm cultivator who really cultivated meditation, Lu Li would not be able to point out anything.

Under such circumstances, Lu Li's life is still quite good. Of course, the only fly in the ointment is that he currently has no way to go to the Gangfeng layer to condense the evil qi on his body into a gangshu, which makes Lu Li feel a little regretful.

However, with the supply of a large number of high-grade spirit stones, Lu Li quickly cultivated the "Gluttonous Yun Divine Method" to the second star.

He found that Xingchen's condensation was more difficult than Yuanding's, which not only meant that he had mastery of cultivation and proficiency in skills, but also meant that Lu Li had to absorb more aura in cultivation before he could condense successfully.

This kind of consumption was even greater than when he condensed the nine round tripods, and the three thousand or so high-grade spirit stones were used up by him at once, close to a thousand!

This also caused Lu Li to dare not continue cultivating after he successfully condensed the second star.

He estimated that the coverage of sixty zhang of divine consciousness should be sufficient, at least to the extent of the immortal realm, the gap with others would not be too wide-except for those who had cultivated the special divine consciousness method.

Time passed in such a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

The iron rider of the Zixuan Dynasty is waiting, and Xiao Shaofeng is said to be the son of his 700th birthday.

It stands to reason that this kind of old birthday should be more luxurious and extravagant. After all, with Xiao Shaofeng's status and prestige, even if the whole city celebrates together, the current emperor of the Zixuan Dynasty will not say anything. But Xiao Shaofeng chose to keep a low profile, and just invited some people from the family, this is because the Xiao family is a big family after all, and it is impossible to be so rude, if he can, maybe Xiao Shaofeng really doesn't want to be invited.

"Immortal Master, are you really not going?"

At this moment, in the Gu Mansion, Xiao Yiyi and Gu Xiang were standing in front of Lu Li, with respectful faces.

"Don't go. Lu Li lay on the bed, looked at the gazetteer miscellaneous notes he took from Gu Xichao in his hand, and said lazily, "It's also a trouble to go, I might as well read here." ”

Gu Xiang and Xiao Yiyi glanced at each other, both with a little helplessness in their eyes.

Lu Li's identity, after all, is not something they can command, so if Lu Li really doesn't go, there is nothing the two of them can do.

"Your grandfather is a very powerful person. Glancing at the expressions of the two, Lu Li naturally knew what the mood of the two was, and after a little hesitation, he said, "He knows that he is getting closer and closer to the limit, and now he is preparing a way back for your Xiao family." ...... But he probably got to talk to your emperor as well. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yiyi's face showed a hint of confusion, but then she became nervous.

Lu Li glanced at Xiao Yiyi, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed first, and then said, "Your Xiao family has been strong for too long...... It can be said that all of you are living in the shadow of Xiao Shaofeng, which is absolutely unfavorable for a dynasty. The royal family of the Zixuan Dynasty did not do anything to you, because Xiao Shaofeng was the elder of the Four Dynasties after all, and there was really no problem that could be criticized, so he would continue to tolerate the development of your Xiao family so much. ”

But now, as Xiao Shaofeng's body weakens day by day, he gradually becomes irrelevant in the eyes of the royal family. Seeing Xiao Yiyi in his words, his face gradually turned pale, and Lu Li continued to speak, "Once he falls, your Xiao family will be immediately marginalized, and even the entire Xiao family may be wiped out because of this." ...... Maybe there are a lot of people in your Xiao family who are quite good at cultivating at present, like you, like the middle-aged people I met before...... But with you, it's obviously impossible to compare with the royal family. ”

"So...... Grandpa Taizu resigned from his position in the court and stayed at home all the time?" Xiao Yiyi is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, but there are some things that she has not wanted to admit all along, "So ...... said"

"Yes. ...... Don't you think there's anything wrong with it? The people of your Xiao family, originally there were seven generals, but now there is only one general left with your brother, and although the others have also been transferred to remote areas, they have either been transferred to remote areas, or they have lost their real power, and they are just using a false name. Lu Li's voice was very light, but the information revealed in his words made Xiao Yiyi feel like he was in an ice cave, "Xiao Shaofeng, why is it so low-key on the big birthday of the seventh hundredth birthday? ...... Under such circumstances, you still let me attend your great-grandfather's birthday, isn't that harming him?"

Xiao Yiyi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, her face was sluggish.

Looking at Xiao Yiyi's appearance, Lu Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said the last sentence: "Isn't the obstacle you encountered when you went to ask for the transmission note before?"

"Thank you Immortal Master for your advice. Xiao Yiyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed Lu Li three times.

Lu Li naturally could afford this kind of thanks, he just smiled, and then glanced at Gu Xiang - although this girl is kind in her heart, she doesn't know anything, she just lacks enough experience to sharpen - at this moment, Gu Xiang showed a faint smile, his eyes were like a crescent moon, full of smiles, and there was sincere gratitude in the smile.

Lu Li glanced at Xiao Yiyi again, then turned over and looked through the miscellaneous records in his hand, and when the two of them were about to leave, Lu Li's voice floated out indifferently: "If you really want to seek a way back for your family, just consider what I said before." ”

Xiao Yiyi nodded, didn't say anything more, and then left with Gu Xiang.

Lu Li knew that in fact, on Xiao Shaofeng's birthday today, he shouldn't have said those words, but there were some things that didn't mean anything. He never expected those people in the Xiao family to understand Xiao Shaofeng's hard work, and Lu Li still felt sincere admiration for this old man he had only come into contact with once, not only because the other party was two hundred years older than him, but also because there were many things that he, a cultivator who had been rolling and fighting in the cultivation world, had never considered.

It can be said that he saw another kind of light in Xiao Shaofeng's body - a different light from Xia Longyin, Gao Ren and others, but with the same wisdom.

"In this world, there have never been good people and bad people. Lu Qi closed the book and threw it away, and the miscellaneous book flew to the round table in the room, "If you act against me, then we are enemies...... And if they are unanimous, enemies may not be able to become friends. After a moment's silence, he added, "Of course, those who are mortal enemies are exceptions. Even if you have the same goal, you don't necessarily have to work together. ”

Yawned, Lu Li turned over from the bed and sat up, he didn't think there was anything wrong with using this psychological offensive to make Xiao Yiyi go back to Taiyi with him, anyway, what he said was the truth. After seeing Xiao Yiyi's appearance when she went out, Lu Li already knew that although she didn't have good roots, but she had good talent and was hardworking enough, it was impossible for her to stay here anymore, as long as she achieved this goal, it would be enough.

The divine consciousness that emanated and enveloped the entire Gu Mansion began to be slowly retracted by Lu Li.

"It's almost time, Tamamo, let's go pick someone up. Lu Li smiled at the Yuzao curled up in a ball, sleeping beside him just now.

Perhaps because he is tired of eating all kinds of food, this little guy has reduced his requirements for food a lot in recent days, and has even learned to be picky eaters, which can make Lu Li have a headache. But at this moment, when Yuzao heard Lu Li's voice, it woke up as soon as possible, and its bright eyes couldn't see a trace of drowsiness at all, and even had a certain excitement - it had been staying in the Gu Mansion recently, lacking enough freedom, and it was already a little irritable.

At this moment, when I heard Lu Li say that I could go out for a walk, of course I was very happy.

Looking at Yuzao's excitement, Lu Li smiled, and then took out a transmission note from his body.

This is the transmission note he received this morning, from Huang Haoxuan.

Above, there are only four words.

"Tonight, arrived. ”
