Li Xuan pushed the door open, only to find that it wasn’t what he had imagined to be Lv Qiluo’s abode.
This place appeared to be a storage for various treasures and rare wonders. There were hundreds of wooden racks and more than thirty dicine cabinets, each twice the height of a man, arranged all over the room.
Every one of the wooden racks was glittering with captivating treasures and the air was filled with incredible spiritual energy.
Li Xuan glanced around and saw that there were over thirty supre magical implents present here. There were a few that seed to have lost their luster due to their ancient age.
A shudder of astonishnt overtook Li Xuan as he took in the sight.
Lv Qiluo, clearly impatient, urged him from the side: "Hurry up, the things you need are on the third floor. Don’t worry about the restrictions here, they won’t harm you."
Regaining his composure, Li Xuan inquisitively asked while moving forward: "Are all these things yours, Qiluo? Am I not intruding by taking them without explicit permission? Also, judging by what I see, you must have a high status in this immortal palace. I noticed a hall called the ’Changqing Hall’ nearby. Is it yours?"
He wondered what kind of background the little girl with the green sword had.
But considering she was able to produce treasures like the innate gourd vine and the Jiutian Xirang, it wasn’t surprising for her to own such wealth.
"Not entirely," Lv Qiluo shook her head. "But the two items I’m letting you take today don’t have an owner. As for the rest, don’t ask. When the ti cos, I will tell you everything."
The second floor was a scripture room filled with various scrolls and visualization charts.
Due to Lv Qiluo’s urgency and the impending disaster she ntioned, Li Xuan did not examine them closely.
However, a re glance at the labels on the bookshelves left him amazed. The visualization charts and scrolls from the top floor of the Liudao Division book collection building were surprisingly all available here.
As Li Xuan stepped onto the third floor, his pupils shrank slightly.
He instantly noticed the seven immortal artifacts located at the center of the gallery. The items placed on the shelves next to it also triggered his heartbeat to quicken.
The few immortal artifacts only seed like the tip of the iceberg. In the eastern corner of the third floor, he saw at least five items that were comparable in value to the Jiutian Xirang.
However, Li Xuan quickly brushed aside these thoughts and walked over to where Lv Qiluo pointed: "This is it? The Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart?"
Gazing at the object in front of him, his eyes shone with amazent.
It was a stone carved into the form of a heart, featuring seven apertures on its surface.
"It’s the Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace! It’s created from the Jiutian Xirang and the Five-Color Divine Stone, mixed with the water from the three divine lights, and then infused with the Qi of chaos and five elents, emulating the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart for refinent," explained Lv Qiluo. "It was custom made by an old friend of mine for his shapeshifting body... to assist his pursuit of enlightennt. But unfortunately, he t with a disaster right after its completion and it beca a masterless object."
The color drained from Li Xuan’s face upon comprehending the significance of the object he had just picked. A piece of Jiutian Xirang resided in his consciousness, which allowed him to grow at an exponentially higher rate in recent months.
The Five-Color Divine Stone, unlike the Five-Color Divine Clay, is a concentration of the essence of the clay. It was said to be a material used by Nvwa to nd the sky.
Reportedly, the ’Fighting Buddha’ erged from the Five-Color Divine Stone.
As for the three divine lights, they refer to the Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water. Each of these is a highly corrosive poison, capable of eroding flesh, bones, and even one’s Primordial Spirit and consciousness.
Together, they form a mystical elixir, renowned since ancient tis as the best redy for injuries. None co close to it.
It is said to be capable of curing all poisons, including the ones deed "beyond redemption". It even harbors the power of life and creation.
As for the ’Qi of chaos and five elents’, Li Xuan wasn’t too familiar with it, but assud it to be an extraordinary treasure.
Without further ado, Li Xuan stowed the Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace into his sleeve, preparing to put it inside the Sumi Ring. He noticed that the Sumi Ring, which he had been using for several months, appeared to crack slightly after holding the object.
Li Xuan quickly changed gears and put the object into the Qiankun bag which had a larger storage space.
In the past six months, he had acquired five space artifacts. He sold three of them to Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue. He carried the other two with him.
Li Xuan had initially planned to carry a load of talismans, hidden weapons, crossbow arrows and such, hoping to overwhelm his opponents with sheer wealth in certain situations.
Unfortunately, his plans were hampered by his financial constraints over the past few months.
Even if he combined his talismans, elixirs, and the food of the Jade Qilin, it was not enough to fill a single Sumi Ring.
Subsequently, Li Xuan strolled over to another wooden rack: "Is this also a masterless object?"
It was a piece of stone, black on the surface, interspersed with sporadic tallic sheen, and imbued with traces of Qi of Gengjin.
"Extraterrestrial Divine teorite. Unlike most celestial objects, which originate from the disintegration and removal of the Heavenly Court’s void worlds, this cos directly from the Outer Void, and isn’t a product of this realm. It’s said that a mighty being of the Holy Heaven Level once tried to refine it using a postnatal Divine Artifact-level furnace. He drove the spirits of heaven and earth and burned it non-stop for thirty days and nights, but failed to lt it even the slightest bit."
Lv Qiluo looked at the black stone: "You can take it. Just rember what I told you earlier."
Li Xuan was already collecting the black stone. This ti, he placed it into his ’Liuhe Zhoutian Sword Diagram.’
As soon as the Extraterrestrial Divine teorite was placed inside, Li Xuan felt the hundreds of Sword Qi within the Sword Diagram change. They beca even more fierce and awe-inspiring.
Li Xuan didn’t look closely at the situation inside. Instead, he swiftly exited the Immortal Palace and rushed back the way he ca. Then, driving the Red Thunder Chariot, he turned into a flash of red and exited the valley. He continued flying north for over two hundred miles.
At that mont, Li Xuan felt a strange sensation and glanced back.
He saw a huge ’eye’ appearing and opening amid the clouds in the sky, casting its gaze towards the valley.
Li Xuan could see a giant eyeball filled with golden veins moving within it.
He felt his hair stand on end in fright and burst forth with his entire strength, propelling the Red Thunder Chariot to twice its previous speed.
It wasn’t until they were six hundred li away, and the cold feeling had faded from his body, that he finally stopped.
"Who was that?" Li Xuan looked back once again, shivering as he asked, "Is that one of your enemies too, Qiluo?"
"An enemy that I won’t rest until dead, please don’t ask about his identity," she said calmly, "His na, his identity, no one should utter. With your current cultivation, even if you rely think about him in your mind, he will sense it."
Li Xuan’s scalp prickled at the thought. What kind of Divine Skills was this?
It took him a while to settle his nerves, after which he took out the ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace’ and held it up for examination.
He prepared to use this artifact to create his own shapeshifting law body.
The shapeshifting technique that Lv Qiluo bestowed upon him was called ’Primordial Light’. It could condense a ’Second Mind’, duplicating a complete Primordial Spirit and flesh body.
In the future, as long as this ’Second Mind’ didn’t die, his physical body could be immortal.
This is obviously incomparable with the true ’Yiqi Hua Sanqing’, yet the current worldly ’Yiqi Hua Sanqing’ technique could not help soone attain Dao as rumoured.
So strictly speaking, this ’Second Mind’ is even above the Yiqi Hua Sanqing passed down in Taoism.
If he uses the ’seven orifices exquisite furnace’ as the core, even when his cultivation improves to the Holy Heaven level, his shapeshifting law body can still grow synchronously without needing extra cultivation for strengthening.
Just at that mont, Li Xuan’s complexion shifted slightly as he summoned a letter talisman from afar.
Soon, a smile appeared at his lips. The letter was from Yu Hongchang.
Just one day had passed, and the Bashe Queen had sent a ssenger to Duogansi Khan’s palace to plead for rcy from him.
※※※※
At the sa ti, in front of the Bashe royal palace, the Bashe queen watched the surroundings with a dark look in her eyes.
In her gaze, ten chalets were built on the top of ten mountains, all filled with dense sacred Qi and expansive Buddhist light.
The ten Legal Kings who built chalets here had completely blocked the entire Bashe royal palace.
"We still have a quite a bit of reserve in our treasure house that could last for a while."
This voice belonged to a stout man with a bear-like physique. He was three zhang tall, and his face bore a strong resemblance to a black bear. He spoke in a muffled voice, "Back then, even the venerable Lianhuasheng couldn’t do anything to us, let alone his disciples and grand-disciples?"
The Bashe Queen cast a sideways glance at her subordinate, her eyes as cold as ice.
The Lianhuasheng from thousands of years ago did indeed fail to deal with Bashe royal palace, but now they were far from their forr strength of that ti.
In the royal palace of the old days, there were three middle heaven-level Bashe snakes!
Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of demon tribes were herbivores and spent several million jin of at and grains per day, in addition to various spirit stones and monthly pearls used as substitutes for the essence of the sun and moon...were all these for free?
There are indeed a lot of supplies in the royal palace, but all these are mine!
"When you lose, you have to admit it!"
The Bashe Queen gave a cold hum, her gaze returned to the front, "Anyway, I don’t see there is a chance to use plan B."
Her aide, Dan Yuan, flushed at her words. His plan B for Bashe Queen was to lay low and wait for the right opportunity.
Li Xuan ca to Tibet as commissioned by the court to rectify the area, but Duogansi Khan and Anburo lord would never sit idle and wait for death, and many Legal Kings on the plateau were disloyal and estranged towards the court.
Sooner or later, Li Xuan would beco a target of public criticism in Tibet.
At that ti, Bashe Queen could ally with all parties and put Li Xuan in a death trap.
But now-
Dan Yuan looked around at the many Legal Kings and felt his scalp prickle, as he severely swallowed his saliva.
He felt that the Bashe Queen was still very decisive. If they continued to stalemate at this ti, it might be they who will beco the target of the public.
In the next mont, Dan Yuan saw a purple bolt of lightning suddenly coming from the southern sky.
This bolt of lightning fell a hundred feet before them, transforming into a chariot.
That Marquis of Guanjun, Li Xuan, was standing in the chariot high above, laughing while looking at them, "Is Her Majesty the Queen ready to divulge their whereabouts? Where are Duojicairen and Zaxigongbu?"
"Dead!" The Bashe Queen’s face was cold as she raised her hand and tossed four corpses before her, "Two days before you arrived at the Folun Temple, these two people, along with the boatman and Thunder-winged Fish Eagle pulling the boat, entered the Bashe royal palace and died in front of ."
Li Xuan was stunned for a mont, and then his eyes darkened as he looked at the four bodies.
