When they arrived at the crack on the seabed, Shi Liuli looked down and felt an incredible heat coming towards her, as if it was going to singe her hair.

She hesitated for only a moment, then quickly jumped and fell into the underground crack.

The surrounding rock walls are foamy, probably caused by the long-term flow of some kind of corrosive seawater. Combined with the unusual temperature around, it can be basically determined that it is underground fire.

Underground fire is not common in the East China Sea and usually appears near the end of the spirit vein.

Shi Liuli thought carefully about the surrounding Feng Shui and felt that it was unlikely to be an ancient immortal's cave. It was more likely to be formed naturally.

She reached down cautiously, holding the Zi Ji Han Yuan Sword in her right hand to guard her surroundings, and picked up the copper coin with her left hand to silently tell fortunes.

According to the hexagram, there seem to be traces of magic disturbing the direction nearby, which is the so-called "mountains are high and waters are deep".

If that were all, it wouldn't be difficult to crack.

But if the person who cast the illusion was in the depths and adjusted the illusion in real time, Shi Liuli had no confidence that she could defeat him - after all, she was not a researcher in this area and could not compare with the experts who had been immersed in this field for dozens or hundreds of years.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Liuli suddenly closed his eyes.

She used her spiritual consciousness to block her senses, and now both her vision and hearing were completely dysfunctional.

In the silent darkness, Shi Liuli held the copper plate in his hand, shook it for a moment, and carefully touched the pattern with his fingertips to distinguish the front and back.

She planned to completely abandon perception and only use the results of the hexagram to decide the direction of travel - no matter how sophisticated the illusion was, it could confuse perception without being discovered, but it couldn't tamper with the result of my hexagram, right?

In this way, Shi Liuli carefully moved towards the depths.

Near the deep underground fire, the Kunlun Mirror suddenly made a sound.

"What's wrong?" Chen Guanshui asked nervously.

"Nothing." Kunlun Jing stood up, "I'll go out for a while."

"Why are you going out?" Chen Guanshui asked suspiciously, wondering if A Jing wanted to run away again?

Oh, the fragment of the Heaven-Bulding Stone is still in my hand, so it shouldn’t happen.

"Go out to the bathroom." Kunlun Jingmian said without changing his expression.

This is a really bad excuse. Why do you need to go to the bathroom when you have a mirror?

Chen Guanshui knew that she was telling him in disguise "stop asking too many questions", so he didn't say anything, but continued to fine-tune the formation and change the heating rate of the Tianshi Stone.

The Kunlun Mirror left the depths and moved forward carefully along the winding corridor, then passed through a vertical shaft and entered a slanting horizontal corridor, just in time to see Shi Liuli walking down along the natural corridor.

Her state at this moment was very strange: her eyes were closed, and she did not feel the surrounding rock walls to determine the terrain. She just took a few steps forward slowly, then stopped, clasped her hands and shook them, and then continued to move forward.

Using fortune-telling to avoid being confused by illusions? Kunlun Jing only thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what she was doing. He couldn't help but admire her.

At least if it were me, I would definitely not be able to think of this way to crack it.

Now that the other party has completely abandoned perception, using the Mirror Flower and Water Moon will definitely not work, unless her perception of the hexagram is directly modified - but the Kunlun Mirror has not done too in-depth research on this kind of ironclad divination. If a false result is rashly designed, it will most likely be discovered by Shi Liuli, who is proficient in divination.

Thinking of this, Kunlun Mirror suddenly had an idea.

She walked forward quietly and then grabbed Shi Liuli's hand.

Shi Liuli felt someone touching her wrist. She was startled at first and thought to herself, could it be that bastard coming?

But he soon realized something was wrong, because from the touch, the other person's skin was delicate, smooth, and slightly warm... obviously a woman's hand.

She did not open her eyes rashly, but quickly shook her hands again to let the coin tell hexagrams again.

According to the result of the hexagram, the other party was not an illusion. Shi Liuli then opened his eyes carefully and saw the other party's appearance clearly.

This is a young female monk, wearing a goose yellow long skirt, with black hair fixed with a hairpin, looking extremely fresh and capable.

Her facial features were regular and beautiful, and like most female monks, she had a beautiful appearance with no flaws.

It is worth noting that the other person's face seems to have some baby fat, a little fuller than the faces of most female monks, making her look youthful and cute.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Dongyou." Kunlun Jing said with a smile.

"Do you know me?" Shi Liuli frowned and asked, "Daoyou is..."

"Just call me 'Yaotai'." Kunlun Jing said this, and then took her arm affectionately and said, "Daoyou Fellow, let's talk over here."

Shi Liuli was hugged by her left arm, and her face looked a little embarrassed and awkward, as if her nose was stimulated by citrus juice. She wanted to pull her arm out, but Kunlun Jing had already seen her pull her into the stone chamber next to her and asked with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to look for Guanshui?"

"Watching the water?" Shi Liuli wanted to deny it, but stopped when the words came to his lips.

After a long pause, she asked:

"Is his...real name Guanshui?"

"Well, yes." Kunlun Mirror said with a smile.

"Is he refining the Sky-Repairing Stone?" Shi Liuli continued to ask.

"That's right." Kunlun Jing admitted frankly, "We use the underground fire below us."

"Of course, most of our current conditions are better than those of Nuwa mending the sky in the past. The only shortcoming is that we don't have the fire of the stars. We can only use the fire deep underground for smelting..."

She explained in detail to Shi Liuli the many matters concerning smelting the Sky-Repairing Stone.

Although the latter looked confused, he still forced himself to remember.

After listening to everything, Shi Liuli sighed:

"The method of smelting the Heaven-Repairing Stone is truly complex and difficult. Even the most complicated magic weapon in the world to refine is inferior to this one."

"Of course." Kunlun Jing nodded and said, "After all, the Sky-Repairing Stone is used to repair the sky, and the sky is where the Great Dao condenses, so it is inevitable that it is complicated and difficult."

"But compared to smelting the Bu Tian Stone..." Shi Liuli paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Gathering all the scattered Bu Tian Stone fragments is actually the most difficult, right?"

Kunlun Mirror remained calm and nodded:

"Indeed, it's all thanks to Guan Shui."

Shi Liuli fell silent.

It was not that she could not hear that the other party and the "Guan Shui" must have some kind of very close relationship.

But considering Xu Yinglian, An Zhisu, Jiang Li'an and so on...it doesn't matter if there is one more, we'll just settle the accounts later.

"What is the name of this fellow Taoist?" Shi Liuli reorganized his thoughts and then asked.

"Just call me 'Yao Chi'."

"Fellow Daoist Yao Chi." Shi Liuli tried to make his expression look sincere, "In fact, I didn't come here to hinder you this time."

"When a great disaster is about to happen, mending the sky is something that must be done, not to mention that it will bring great merit to one's heart. How could I stop him from attaining enlightenment?"

"But I really don't want him to avoid me anymore, or even refuse to admit his identity to me in person." At this point, Shi Liuli's eyes were filled with tears, pretending to shed tears secretly. "I thought we had known each other for so many years, but I didn't expect that in his heart, I was the kind of woman who was not worthy of his trust?"

Kunlun Jing felt a little reluctant and could only smile awkwardly.

If it was just about mending the sky, there was nothing wrong with it. No matter Shi Liuli or other female cultivators, they would not kill their relatives for the sake of the sect...but the problem lies with "other female cultivators"!

If you knew about the existence of other junior sisters, would you still be able to talk about "trust" here? It's good enough that you didn't stab him to death with a sword!

Of course, he was still needed to smelt the Heaven-Repairing Stone, so Kunlun Jing could not possibly undermine him in front of Shi Liuli. He just comforted Shi Liuli and said:

"I can't really say what he was thinking. But I think some things should be communicated clearly in person."

"After all, the one you knew in the past was Luo Yan, and you don't know anything about the current Chen Guanshui, right?"

"That's true." Shi Liuli wiped away her tears, secretly hating in her heart: It turns out that this "Yao Chi" girl knows everything!

If there is anything more serious than cheating on your wife, it is telling the truth to another woman while cheating on her... The anger level that the latter can cause may be more than ten times that of the former.

But she still managed to hold back and didn't lose her temper, except to make a heavy note in the little notebook of grudge in her heart.

Chen Guanshui, right? Okay, wait a minute, I'll finish my work first...

Following the Kunlun Mirror forward, Shi Liuli was so angry at first that his legs were shaking, but he managed to control his emotions and just memorized the route carefully.

After passing through deep vertical shafts and winding corridors, we finally arrived at the underground fire abyss.

Chen Guanshui was still fine-tuning the formation, probably because although the earth fire was not as hot as the star fire, it was also a fierce and brutal type. Sometimes the heat would erupt directly outwards and even break through the control threshold of the formation.

He was just thinking about whether to add an auxiliary formation, when suddenly he saw Kunlun Mirror and Shi Liuli walking into the cave, talking and laughing. Chen Guanshui was almost scared to death and jumped into the underground fire.

What the hell is this drawing?

To be honest, even if the two of them took out kitchen knives and started fighting each other the next second, Chen Guanshui would not be surprised, but this harmonious scene in the harem seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.

"A Jing!" He quickly whispered, "What are you doing!"

Maybe it was because I was too nervous that even my voice sounded a little shrill.

"Don't worry." Kunlun Jing took the credit proudly, "I've already taken care of your wife. She said she's willing to help us smelt the Heaven-Repairing Stone!"

Chen Guanshui: ???

Whose wife did you get? Tell me again!

But if you think about it carefully, this broken mirror is too pure in some aspects, and I guess it has never thought of any other meaning...

Before he could say anything, Shi Liuli had already walked silently in front of him and stared at his appearance.

"Daoyou, what are you looking at..." Chen Guanshui just opened his mouth, and Shi Liuli frowned and said:

"Still calling me 'Daoyou'? Yaochi told me that Luo Yan... No, I should call you Guanshui, right?"

Chen Guanshui suddenly felt sad: he had planned everything, but he never expected Ah Jing to betray him!

"My husband, don't be too afraid." Shi Liuli continued, "Things like repairing the sky are of great merit. How could I stop you from doing this?"

After saying this, she looked at the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone in the underground fire and said:

"Using formations to control the heat of the earth and fire is a good idea, but don't forget the difference between water and fire. Water is moistening and penetrating everywhere, so you can only guide it and it's difficult to block it. But fire is blazing and the more you try to control it, the more likely you are to be attacked back."

Chen Guanshui wanted to find fault, but thinking that Lady Liuli was an expert in sword-making and was many times better at high-temperature smelting than someone like him who was good at array programming, he kept silent.

"In order to achieve better smelting effect, we first need to build a sword furnace." Shi Liuli continued.

"Starting a furnace, right?" Chen Guanshui asked, "What material can withstand the temperature of the underground fire?"

"If it can't hold up, then why hasn't the rock wall next to the underground fire melted?" Shi Liuli asked back.

Chen Guanshui was speechless for a moment.

"First, use your formation to guide the underground fire, focus the heat, and drill a hole in the rock wall next to it." Shi Liuli thought for a moment and said, "I will design the specific aperture layout for you."

The couple worked together and quickly coordinated the operation. Seeing this, Kunlun Mirror in the back also had a kind smile on his face. He thought that he had done the right thing by bringing this stone colored glass here.

With Chen Guanshui, who loves to show off, tinkering with all his array of formations, it's unknown how long it will take to smelt it! Shi Liuli's "Sword Furnace" is more reliable.

Chen Guanshui was unaware that Kunlun Jing was still feeling complacent. He just listened to Shi Liuli's design while secretly observing her expression.

Shi Liuli had no expression on her face.

Although there was no expression, but with the help of Luo Yan's past memories, Chen Guanshui became more and more certain that at this moment, Lady Liuli's heart was definitely not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Since the death of Elder Shi Ding, Lady Liuli initially became introverted, but as long as she asked a few more questions, her face would always reveal some emotions... How could she be like this now, with an unyielding expression as if to say "get away"?

"Ahem." Chen Guanshui pondered for a moment, and finally decided to calm his wife down first, and then he slowly said, "Actually... I also have my own difficulties."

"Yeah, I know." Shi Liuli said absentmindedly, "This sword furnace may need to be modified. I just thought about it. If it is placed at a high place, the heat will be guided all the time, which is difficult to control. It is better to lower the position of the furnace..."

"Liuli, are you listening?" Chen Guanshui asked helplessly.

"I heard it." Shi Liuli waved her hand and said, "Yao Chi has already told me, there is no need for you to explain it again."

"What did she...say to you?" Chen Guanshui was a little nervous.

"Basically, I've said everything." Shi Liuli paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at her husband, raised her eyebrows and said, "However, considering that she might have let something slip, how about you tell me the whole story in detail?"

Chen Guanshui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he wanted to slap himself.
