Dream
"Lize convened a meeting of the five clans for no apparent reason. What do you think of this?"
Li Yu walked back and forth in Li You's yard. Seeing that Li Ling had not answered her for a long time, she looked at him carefully and found that his eyes were dazed and she didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Yu stepped forward, pushed Li Ling, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Ling slapped away Li Yu's hand on his shoulder. He didn't like people touching him. "Nothing." Then he frowned and said solemnly, "It should be related to Yujun."
"The demon girl Yujun?" Li Yu's smile faded, and she asked in confusion, "Why is this related to her? Wasn't she sealed away?"
"Do you really think she's been sealed?"
Li Yu remained silent, recalling the scene when the demon girl appeared. The strength of the five clan leaders was almost the same, but when attacking the demon girl, Li Ze's spirit pillar was the smallest.
"I once read in an ancient book that the Five Clans Heavenly Spirit Formation requires five people of equal strength from the five clans, otherwise there will be loopholes in the formation."
"No wonder Li Ze took the initiative to send his tribesmen to guard the seal. It turns out he was afraid of being discovered." Li Yu touched his chin and thought.
He was afraid of being discovered, which meant he knew about the flaws in the formation. He knew it but didn't say anything and tried to conceal it. If the demon girl escaped, Lize would be blamed, even if he was the leader of the Hidden Tide Clan.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a sarcastic smile: "The other clan leaders will probably not give him a good face."
Li Ling: "You can seize this opportunity."
Li Yu took a sip of tea, leaned against the table, and lazily played with the porcelain cup. "The time is not right yet. It's not enough to ruin his reputation."
Li Ling lowered his eyes, pretending not to notice the coldness that flashed across Li Yu's eyes. The longer he spent with Li Yu, the more he could sense the coldness beneath his gentle mask.
"What are you going to do next?"
"It's none of your business."
Li Ling returned to his residence. When he passed by the thatched house, he smelled a strange smell coming from it again.
Thinking of what happened that day, Li Ling's head was buzzing. He was not stupid. Although he was embarrassed at the time, he guessed afterwards that it was probably Yuan Shuang's doing.
Li Ling thought so and decided to find out.
He cast an invisibility spell and prepared to sneak into Yuan Shuang's house.
The house that Li Ling built for Yuan Shuang was divided into an outer room and an inner room. He eavesdropped in the outer room for a while, and after finding that there was no problem, he calmly entered the inner room.
What hits you in the face is the fragrance of various elixirs, but you don’t know what strange smell is mixed in, which makes the refreshing medicinal fragrance make people retreat three feet away.
"Xiangling Tea, Baimei Fruit, Xuanling Pearl..." Yuan Shuang muttered the names of the medicines with a focused expression, and did not notice that there was another person in the room.
"Stir it, stir it...it'll be ready soon~"
It seems that they are making potions.
Qingya has a keen sense of plants and trees, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the doctor of the entire tribe.
However, judging by the medicine Yuan Shuang had given him before, Yuan Shuang was clearly not that kind of person. He had talent, but the things he refined...
Li Ling's attention was caught by the table of medicine bottles behind Yuan Shuang. He walked over quickly and looked at this and that. Because there were no signs and he didn't understand pharmacology, he couldn't make any sense of it after looking for a long time.
"Bang!"
Li Ling was startled and looked at Yuan Shuang nervously, not noticing that he had knocked over a bottle of medicine powder.
The scalding liquid splashed onto Yuan Shuang's hands, and she howled in a terrifying and heart-wrenching way: "Ah~ Hot, hot, hot~ Oh my God! Why did it explode? Wuuwuwuwu... Oh my God... My medicine... Wuuwuwu..."
Li Ling walked quietly to Yuan Shuang's side, and was relieved to see that Yuan Shuang was fine except for her hand being slightly burned.
Yuan Jing handed the person over to him, and nothing could happen to him.
The little girl was noisy and kept shouting about every little thing.
Just when Li Ling wanted to study the medicine bottles on the table again, he suddenly felt an unbearable itch on his body.
Li Ling scratched it, and it felt more and more itchy.
Did he touch something he shouldn't have? He couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and saw the fallen medicine powder.
What bad luck!
Li Ling's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He left without hesitation. Every part of his body was itchy. He couldn't help but complain, "This crappy powder should be able to wash it off, right?" Thinking of this, Li Ling jumped directly into the nearby river.
The waves are sparkling and the water is gurgling.
After a while, Li Ling poked his head out of the water, and the splashing water drew a beautiful arc, casting colorful light in the sunlight.
It doesn't itch anymore, it seems it has been washed off.
Li Ling swam to the river bank and sat on the shore, gasping for breath.
Just an ordinary bottle of medicine powder made him helpless. Li Ling recalled the many bottles and jars on the table and felt a headache.
What a disaster.
Li Ling felt a little regretful for taking on such a hassle, but since he had already accepted it, there was no reason to return it.
It seems that it is better to warn Yuan Shuang, otherwise the little girl will give me some "gift" with a pitiful look on her face next time.

Hidden Tide Council Hall.
"Li Ze, what's the matter that made you call us here in such a hurry?" Li Yao said with rare displeasure.
Lize smiled and said, "Of course it's a big deal, don't worry."
Xing Yan didn't give him a good look, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't keep us in suspense."
Li Ze sighed and said in distress: "The reason I called everyone here this time is about the seal."
"Seal? What happened to the seal?"
Following Yuan Lin's words, the other clan leaders frowned and looked at Lize worriedly.
They still remember clearly the day when the witch was born. Now that Old Lei is missing, if the witch is born again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Sha He stood up at once, his finger almost touching Lize's face, "The sealed place has always been guarded by you Yinchao, and it hasn't been long since something happened. Could it be that you are behind this?"
"Shahe! Stop slandering me!"
"I'm slandering you? I..."
Seeing that the two men were about to fight, Li Yao slammed the wooden table and said, "Enough!" Zhu Feng has been on the rise in recent years and has a lot of say among the five tribes.
The two men calmed down and sat down.
Li Ze straightened his clothes and said with an unhappy expression, "The seal is fine for now, but Elder Lei sent someone to give me an ancient book. I studied it and found that the magic circle needs the spirit energy of the five races to continue to operate."
The so-called immortal spirit energy is the purest spiritual energy of the five elements of the five clans, and it is a priceless treasure of the five clans. Therefore, the five clans will not use this treasure unless it is absolutely necessary.
Anyone who steals the spirit will be sentenced to death.
This is also the reason why when Li Ling's father was caught stealing the spiritual energy of Yinchao, even though the Yinchao Saint begged bitterly, it was of no avail.
Yuan Lin's brows were tinged with worry. "But the immortal spirit of Hidden Tide disappeared more than ten years ago..."
Shahe said sarcastically: "Hmph! Some people are incompetent and immoral. They occupy the toilet but don't do anything. After so many years, they haven't been able to get the fairy spirit back." He looked at Lize and saw that he looked aggrieved, and he couldn't help feeling refreshed.
They all knew something about what Li Ze did behind the scenes to become the leader of the Yinchao tribe.
In the past, they hadn't exposed the secret out of consideration for the goodwill between the five tribes, but this time, with the failure of the Hidden Tide Sacrifice, the other tribes were no longer so polite. After all, they had to clean up the mess left by the Hidden Tide Sacrifice, and it was impossible for the other tribe leaders not to be furious.
Li Ze also knew this clearly, so he no longer had the arrogance he had before.
Li Ze took great effort to suppress his anger, and said with a forced smile: "The immortal spirit is not missing, but that place is extremely dangerous and it is difficult for ordinary people to go deep into it."
Yuan Lin asked, "Where?"
"Mirror of Dreams."
The meeting hall suddenly became unusually quiet, and even the usually calm Li Yao couldn't help but frown.
According to ancient secret texts, the Mirror of Dreams is a secret realm within the Five Spirits Sacred Realm, home to countless natural treasures and abundant spiritual energy. However, to enter, one must meet two requirements: one, be under eighteen years old, and two, be exceptionally gifted.
Logically speaking, this should be a great place for cultivation, but the bad thing is that it is extremely dangerous inside. Once you go in, you never come out. Since then, no one is willing to take the risk.
Li Ze continued, "Back then, that criminal slave, unwilling to give up, used a secret method to hide the immortal spirit there. I, Yinchao, have sent people in before, but there has been no news. The ancient book that Elder Lei gave me this time records a loophole in the Dream Mirror... That's why I wanted to gather you all here to discuss countermeasures."
"It's just empty talk. Why don't you take out that ancient book and let all the clan leaders take a look."
Li Ze did not hesitate this time. With a wave of his hand, an ancient book hung in the air, and the ancient texts inside emerged one by one. The words with an ancient atmosphere shone with golden light, which was amazing.
...The sky and earth are dark yellow, yin and yang are in harmony. There exists a precious mirror called Huanmeng. Every time the sun and moon alternate, and the stars and constellations line up, the scenes reflected in the mirror become strange and mysterious... The more people enter the mirror, the more life it sees, with lush vegetation and vibrant clouds.
It seems that Lize did not deceive them, but this happened.
Li Yao said, "This matter is of great importance, and it's not easy for us to make a judgment. Let's wait until we each return to our tribes and discuss it with the elders before making a decision. Of course, delaying it too long wouldn't be good either. Clan leaders, do you have any other suggestions?"
The other clan leaders looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.
"Chief Xing, what do you think about this matter?"
Xing Yan is different from Shahe. Although he has a bad temper, he is still smart.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as Lize said. Without Elder Lei here, he alone can't confirm whether the ancient book was given by Elder Lei, let alone tell whether Lize has tampered with the ancient book."
Li Yao sighed, "This is what Yuan Lin and I are worried about. Li Ze is full of evil intentions. The tragic deaths of Li Wu and the Yinchao elders are the best proof of this."
Xing Yan's eyes lit up: "When you say that, it reminds me of someone who can prove the truth of what Li Ze said."
"Lin Wanfeng?"
"It's him."
