Chapter 548: A Son and a Daughter Fighting for Power
Li Changxiao opened his eyes, and the wonderful lotus on the ground grew, and the heaven and earth fed back to the earth. The collapsed Wanbao Academy emitted a halo, and the spiritual energy in this long-uninhabited space below gradually became stronger and stronger. ♦♦ ☞♦
Everything was recovering, the old formation slowly swirled, and the spiritual grass in the distance exhaled spiritual energy, becoming more and more bright. Li Changxiao opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, and the thick layer of dust accumulated on his body surface was shaken off a little because of this slight movement.
When he stood up completely, the dust on his body slid down like quicksand, and dust was raised all around. After years of practice, at this moment, he finally achieved the state of refining emptiness.
He looked inside himself, and the dream space expanded more than three or two times. The spiritual energy contained in it was by no means thin, and was about the same as in ancient times. Looking at the various magic weapons, they exhaled spiritual energy and emitted a breath-like halo of various colors.
The heaven and earth are fed back by it, and spiritual energy is born out of thin air. This is ownerless spiritual energy, and it is also pure spiritual energy. If there are cultivators here, they will definitely feel excited. It is enough to restore most of the spiritual energy that has been consumed.
At this moment, Li Changxiao flipped his hand, and a translucent gem appeared in the palm of his hand. The spiritual energy swarmed towards it, and Yu Luosha's increasingly thin soul body gradually condensed.
But even so, what can be done?
…
After the swordsman broke through, he left the old site of the Binary Sect and climbed to the town above. He breathed out breathlessly, threw away the long sword that was used as a "mountain chiseling tool" and was covered with yellow mud, and lay on the ground and breathed heavily.
Maybe it was geological movement, or maybe it was the shrinking of the area. The waterway surrounding the old site of the Binary Sect was completely drained. I don't know where it went. Li Changxiao swam down and finally climbed up. He said he was tired... How could he be tired with his body of refining emptiness? He entered the Dao with a falsehood, so he did not even attract the heavenly tribulation. Of course, perhaps the Dao was dead, and there was no heavenly tribulation to speak of. Li Changxiao himself could not explain this clearly, and it was even more difficult to make a conclusion.
He just saw the blue sky, the blue sky was still there, everything was still there, so he really wanted to lie on the ground and take a rest. Now it was night, and the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, shining brightly, tempting to pick it up and play with it in his arms.
Li Changxiao couldn't help but think, the cultivators in the past had picked the stars, why had I never heard of anyone picking the bright moon? Li Changxiao lay on the ground, stroking his chin, thinking about this question seriously. He thought about it for half a night, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, so he simply gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
He got up and patted the mud on his body, because he had climbed up from the muddy road below, and his white clothes were no longer white. Yellow mud and black mud were all on his clothes and embedded in the seams. Li Changxiao found a gurgling stream and jumped into it, causing a big splash. Feeling the coldness in the water, it should be autumn now, the river water is slightly cool but not piercing, and after soaking for a long time, a sense of warmth rises.
After washing, he sat by the river to scrub clothes, scrubbing hard for more than a quarter of an hour before finally washing them clean. As for baking them on the fire, he only needed to wait for the clothes to dry before entering the city and finding a restaurant to enjoy them.
The moonlight shines on the stream, and the gurgling flow is unknown whether it is water or moonlight. Li Changxiao dried his clothes, put them on, and walked towards the town above Eryuanzong. Under the night sky, there were three or two soldiers guarding the gate of the town. Li Changxiao entered the city openly, but was not stopped at all. The soldiers guarding the city clearly saw Li Changxiao, but still did nothing.
Li Changxiao is hiding his tracks now, without the need to change his mind, it's just a thought. If he wants to be seen, he will be seen. If he doesn't want to be seen, he won't be seen. He doesn't need to use any means, nor does he need to do it deliberately.
Just like now.
After entering the city, Li Changxiao smiled knowingly, and saw that the city was still stable, and it didn't become unstable because of the strong wind and rain before he fell asleep.
Now it was midnight, most of the shops were closed, only one inn, there was still a light in front of the door.
With a creak, Li Changxiao pushed the door open and sat down at the side. He reached into his pocket and searched around. Finally, he took out more than ten copper coins, including three square copper coins given by Wang Jue. They were dragon, tiger and leopard coins. He would not trade with these three coins, so he carefully picked out the three coins from the broken copper coins and put them back into his pocket. He slapped the remaining copper coins on the table and asked the waiter to come and report the dishes.
The waiter who was taking a nap was awakened and ran over with the menu. He looked at the table and thought... how capable he was. He turned out to be a poor and face-loving bastard.
These seven or eight copper coins that were about to moldy were knocked so hard that those who didn't know would think they were gold bars... The waiter rolled his eyes secretly. Although he was disdainful in his heart, his job was indispensable, so he honestly reported the price.
"Sir, your money is only enough to buy some pickled cucumbers and at most one more vegetarian dish." The waiter said.
Li Changxiao handed the copper coins to him one by one, and ordered a pickled cucumber and a large white vegetarian dish as the waiter said. The waiter looked at him twice. He had never seen such a strange man. In the middle of the night, he didn't stay in the hotel, didn't drink, didn't eat meat, but only ate cucumbers.
Soon, a pickled cucumber and a steaming vegetarian dish were served. Li Changxiao ate the cucumber and the vegetarian dish. The vegetarian dish tasted mediocre, but the pickled cucumber was really good. It tasted sweet and sour and was very crisp. When chewing it in the mouth, it would make a crisp sound, which was very appetizing.
It was a pity that Li Changxiao didn't have enough money, otherwise he would have ordered another meal to fill his stomach with these two side dishes. The dozing waiter yawned and glanced at Li Changxiao, thinking that although this guest was a little poor, he was still well-behaved and didn't do anything like smashing tables and stools. He was much better than that wild and unruly guy.
Just thinking about it, the door of the inn was pushed open, and four or five people rushed in at once. The lobby of the inn at midnight became lively in an instant.
The waiter went to serve them, served tea, and after ordering the dishes, he went back to the counter sensibly and did not disturb them. The four or five people sat at two tables. While waiting for the dishes, they were not idle, and they chatted with each other about what they heard along the way.
Li Changxiao was halfway through eating the cucumber, and he also pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
At first, he thought it was all fun and forgot it after hearing it. He didn't care much, but after hearing one thing, he became a little more excited.
It turned out that this group of people were traveling merchants, and they had some connection with the emerging Tianji Dao, and they would sell some special minerals. Among him and his group, one of them had worked in a rice wine shop in Lingtianzhou for several years when he passed by that big state some time ago.
Later, he left Lingtianzhou and became a mineral trader because the situation in Lingtianzhou was turbulent. The emperor was getting old, and even if he could live, he would only have five or six years, or seven or eight years. He had a son and a daughter who were fighting fiercely for power.
