Chapter 289: Breakthrough, Two-star Spiritual Master
The Nanqing Palace covers an area of hundreds of acres, with more than 50 buildings of various sizes, including pavilions, terraces, chambers, and halls. Li Weiyi was unable to enter some areas of some of them.
Those areas are shrouded in formations, and the buildings inside are ancient and hazy, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Li Weiyi was once curious and used the Tiantong Eye to carefully peek into the interior of one of the large formations.
Inside was a black pagoda, more than 20 stories high, with a deserted courtyard, broken walls and no grass. Through the first-story door, I saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged in chains.
The withered bones had clearly been dead for countless years, but they still made Li Weiyi shudder with fear.
With his current cultivation and knowledge, he could have remained calm when seeing ordinary withered bones. If he felt frightened, it must be the perception of real danger.
After several days of cleaning, Li Weiyi finally understood everything.
The jade palace with a hip roof on the other side of the Blood Lake and several areas covered by formations are most likely the legacy of the ancient Bhagavata religion.
Some places are sacred and magnificent, with every brick and tile carved and cast from precious materials.
Some places are strange and dangerous, and are confined using formations.
The other buildings were probably built by the Twin Rice Sect later on, but they also have hundreds of years of history.
After cleaning, Li Weiyi came to the place where Yao Qingxuan meditated and practiced.
He stood outside the curtain and did not dare to rush in rashly. There was a giant in the realm of immortality inside, who could cause huge waves in an entire state with just a stomp of his foot.
"Senior Yao, I have completed what you asked me to do! From now on, the cleaning of Nanqing Palace will be left to me."
Yao Qingxuan faced the stream, his back to the curtain, and said in a faint tone: "From your style of doing things in Qianlong Lantern Society, I know that you are a person who combines both strength and softness. You are absolutely tough in doing things, and you will fight when you should. At the same time, you can let go, retreat, and hide your shortcomings. When you come to the headquarters of the Divine Religion, if you can put away your inner strength and compromise more, you will have a chance to survive."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to kneel down."
Li Weiyi stood straight with a serious expression, and asked, "Does the Linggu Palace Master want to subjugate me?"
"If a person has value, and this value can be used by others, you will have a way out. If it is not used, you will be eliminated." Yao Qingxuan continued: "For now, Palace Master An is just interested in you. Whether to eliminate you or use you depends on you!"
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment: "Whether to use or not is probably not just about value, right? Trust or not is the most important thing. The Lord of Linggu Palace cannot possibly trust me."
"Trust has its uses, and distrust has its uses. The embodiment of value is not just about cultivating talent. Think about it slowly for yourself!" Yao Qingxuan said.
Li Weiyi said: "This is a matter of life and death. Can Senior Yao explain it a little more clearly?"
“Wow!”
A gust of wind with a faint fragrance came through the curtain. Li Weiyi only felt his body light and floating, the sky was spinning, and his vision became blurred.
The next moment.
With a bang, he fell to the ground beside the blood lake.
There were many buildings and gates separating Yao Qingxuan from the place where he was meditating and practicing.
Li Weiyi turned over and sat up, moving his arms without any complaints.
Yao Qingxuan seemed unapproachable and cold as ice, but his words just now were very sincere, and he was seriously giving him guidance.
"Yao Yin's mother is ruthless to other martial artists and can kill a bunch of people at once. But she seems to be quite tolerant towards me."
"It seems that doing more good deeds and accumulating more virtues is the right thing to do. This is the basis for changing one's fate. If I hadn't saved Yao Yin and helped her a lot, her situation today would definitely be very different."
Li Weiyi recalled taking the Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragment from the lampshade before.
Yao Qingxuan did not delve into this treasure.
If she didn't consider Yao Yin's face, how could she let it go so easily?
Thoughts here...
"Well, now that I have the Lingtai Yanxing Stone in my hand, I will try to improve my mental power. The more strength I have, the more capital I will have."
Li Weiyi took out the Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragment, closed his eyes and meditated, adjusted his state, and then pressed it towards his forehead.
“Wow!”
Ripples of space surged.
Fragments of the Lingtai Yanxing Stone appeared in the center of the spiritual world.
In recent days, Li Weiyi has not only been cleaning Nanqing Palace, but also refining the Xingzhou Pill to strengthen his mental power.
The telekinetic star in the spiritual world has grown to its limit and is qualified to become a two-star telekinetic master.
“Wow!”
The spiritual light of telekinesis emanated from Li Weiyi's body and condensed into the light and shadows of two sacred mulberry trees, rising up at the edge of the blood lake.
They shine brightly and sparkle like sparkling crystals, continuously absorbing the light from the entire Nanqing Palace.
Except for the area covered by the two sacred mulberry trees, the rest of the place turned dark and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
Even the energy of the light gauze formed by the formations was absorbed and was rapidly dimming.
Logically speaking, if he entered the blood mud space and went to the real Fusang sacred tree, his chances of success in breaking through the realm would be much higher. But living under the same roof with Yao Qingxuan, with her terrifying cultivation, Li Weiyi really didn't dare to take the risk.
The light and shadow of the Fusang sacred tree was like a living thing. With Li Weiyi's breathing, its ability to absorb light became stronger and stronger.
Gradually.
The darkness spread outside the Nanqing Palace, absorbing the light from the wider area.
…
Four days later.
Yao Qingxuan and a woman in white Buddhist robes stood in the green-tiled jade palace on the other side of the Blood Lake. The two women looked through the window at the shadows of the two Fusang sacred trees growing taller and taller by the lake. With their cultivation, their hearts were filled with ripples.
At this moment, the two mulberry trees have grown to more than ten feet tall. They support each other and form a bright area of light and rain.
In the light rain area, the flaming lotus in the lake was obviously growing better than the flaming lotus in the dark area. Its petals were like colored glaze, and it exuded a majestic aura of life, as if it had grown for several more years.
Li Weiyi was meditating under the light and shadow of two mulberry trees. He was obviously a mortal, but he had an otherworldly aura that even pure immortals did not possess. He was ethereal and mysterious, like an immortal spirit in the mortal world, with the universe hidden within him.
Yao Qingxuan was leaning against the window, with delicate skin and beautiful figure, like a fairy in a painting.
The Buddhist in white looks like an ordinary mortal with an ordinary face. He does not have the jade-like skin and peerless beauty like Yao Qingxuan, but he has a peaceful and comfortable temperament. He is compatible with everything in the world and does not bring majesty or pressure to others.
She is the master of Linggu Palace, An Xianjing.
He is also one of the two Bodhisattvas in Coffin Mountain. He is a giant in the realm of immortality who has lived for 360 years and is one of the most powerful people below the transcendent level.
An Xianjing's slender fingers on her right hand pinched the red rosary and smiled, "The two Sangs support each other, and the vitality is flourishing. The mental power around them gradually condenses into golden crow flames. It seems that his spiritual light and shadow are indeed the legendary Fusang sacred tree. It's really not simple. The martial arts are amazing enough, and the mental power can also bring people amazement. If you take the path of alchemy and weapon refining, you will definitely achieve great success."
Yao Qingxuan's eyes were indifferent, and his facial features were as still as an ice sculpture: "I don't know where Li Songgu got these seedlings from, but he's very lucky."
An Xianjing retracted her gaze and suddenly said, "It is possible that Tang Wanzhou has already come to the headquarters, or has come to the vicinity of the headquarters."
"She didn't go out?" Yao Qingxuan said.
"No."
The monk in white shook his head slightly. "Now it seems that she was just pretending to be defeated at the Spark Altar. She led a large number of experts to break in just to lure us into action. Her real purpose was to find a way to enter the main altar. She is really a very smart person. She is very brave and intelligent."
"If she dares to break into the headquarters, she will never come back." Yao Qingxuan said.
"Let the Tianli Palace handle this matter! If Tang Wanzhou really sneaked in, it was because they didn't guard the patio well."
The monk in white looked at the figure sitting cross-legged under the shadow of two sacred Fusang trees on the other side of the Blood Lake. "He has made a breakthrough! You go to the Heavenly Principle Hall and I will talk to him alone. This boy is so extraordinary that he is really rare. It would be a pity to kill him directly."
"If Tang Wanzhou really came to the headquarters, it would be my negligence. Tianli Hall and Kurong Hall will definitely take advantage of this to seize power in the southern region. This matter could be big or small. I will investigate it myself."
Yao Qingxuan turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared by the window.
…
With the help of the Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragments, Li Weiyi condensed the second telekinesis star.
Two telekinetic stars, in the center of the spiritual world, revolve around each other, forming a binary star system, forming a vortex of telekinetic energy filled with light and mist.
The size of the telekinetic star is no longer just the size of a mung bean, it has grown several times larger.
Brighter, like two golden pills.
Li Weiyi was excited. With his current level of telekinesis, he could activate the light blue eyes of the Taoist Tai Chi Fish to form a time cocoon that could definitely last longer and was enough to support long-term martial arts training.
The Seventh Sea is just around the corner.
"At the level of a two-star spiritual mind master, the combat power should be no less than that of an ordinary Dao Seed Realm second-level martial artist, right?"
Li Weiyi thought about it and shook his head: "I haven't practiced talismans, formations, mind skills and other attack methods yet. Without insect control, I'm afraid I can't challenge the second-level martial artist in the Dao Seed Realm with only mind power."
A clear and pleasant voice sounded several feet away: "Not really! A powerful mind master is like a successor in the martial arts world. Their combat power is definitely not comparable to that of mediocre people at the same level. Your mind power can be condensed into a golden crow flame... Well, although it is only the thinnest and lowest level golden crow flame, its attack power is comparable to the first level of fire magic."
"Just by relying on your telekinesis, you are already ranked in the middle level of the second level of the Dao Seed Realm."
Li Weiyi never thought that a stranger would break into Nanqing Palace? Moreover, he approached silently, so his cultivation was obviously not simple.
The key is this voice...
He looked at the white-robed Buddhist standing not far away, quickly stood up, and said uncertainly: "It's you... No, it's not you..."
Li Weiyi shook his head, then his eyes fell on the red rosary in the white-robed Buddhist's hand, and then observed her tall figure.
The white-robed Buddhist who led a large number of rice-shaped children outside Jiuli City had left a deep impression on Li Weiyi. Her beautiful voice had always been engraved in Li Weiyi's heart. It was a unique appeal that was hard to forget.
At this moment, the white-robed Buddhist standing in front of him was very similar to the man at that time in terms of attire, figure, and voice.
But the appearance is completely different.
An Xianjing placed her left hand on her chest and bowed: "Amitabha! The donor said more than a year ago that he would treat me to noodles next time, and as much as I could eat."
"Is it really you?"
Li Weiyi was surprised and looked her up and down. He was extremely shocked and said with a smile: "So you are also from the Dao Sect... No wonder... It seems that your cultivation is not low. Not everyone can enter the Nanqing Palace."
