Chapter 540: Chapter 433: Farewell Between Senior and Junior Disciples_1

Li Yan hurriedly left Shangqing Temple after a short visit. Despite Li Xuan’s best efforts to persuade him to stay, it was in vain.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but worry. He noticed that the girls had conducted three meetings already, intent on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Though Li Xuan tried to convinch them that he had fainted soundly last night and knew nothing, which was indeed the truth, the problem was that his credibility was no longer as strong as the time when it was guaranteed by his flawless reputation when he had both the Tingtian Ao and Heart Asking Bell.

Whatever he said back then, the girls believed him. But now they had seen through his true nature.

Fortunately, Qiu Qianqiu also came to see Li Xuan in the afternoon.

Qiu Kianqiu came at Li Xuan’s invitation, with the purpose of helping him study the Law of Dari.

Now that Li Xuan’s cultivation had reached the seventh house level, his Primordial Spirit and his Golden Body had reached an incredibly powerful state. His previous "Nuclear Fusion" visualization was no longer enough.

With this trip to Jiangnan, Li Xuan decided to make further progress on the Law of Dari.

To deepen his visualization of the "Dari", not only would Qiu Qianqiu take part, but Luo Yan, Xue Yunrou, and Yu Hongchang would also participate.

Luo Yan’s light and fire magic, and Qiu Qianqiu’s Juemie Palm, were all crucial to the "Nuclear Fusion".

If the three of them worked together, it was estimated that they could maintain the nuclear fusion process for about thirty breaths, allowing Li Xuan to explore its mysteries further.

But due to the flood in Jiangnan, Qiu Qianqiu was unable to find free time till now.

The Liudao Division of the Chuanshu region were governed by the Baihu Hall, and its sub-branches on Mount Tongbai belonged under the jurisdiction of the Qinglong Hall.

However, the floods in Jiangnan directly impacted the Zhuque Hall.

As the water level of the Yangtze River rose, the power of the water demons along the river increased drastically, and Li Chengji’s naval forces couldn’t possibly eliminate all the monsters. Hence, the various divisions under Zhuque Hall exerted their maximum effort, with nearly 80% of their forces being deployed along the Yangtze River.

So up until today, when the water level of the Yangtze River dropped significantly, Qiu Qianqiu finally managed to visit upon Li Xuan’s invitation.

Qiu Qianqiu also brought the rewards that Liudao Division had for Li Xuan and Luo Yan. Li Xuan was promoted to "Fumo Zhonglangjiang", and Luo Yan was promoted to "Fumo Xiaowei".

According to Qiu Qianqiu, although Li Xuan’s service time was extremely short, the merits he had earned had reached the point where Liudao Division could not justify not promoting him.

The problem was that Li Xuan still managed the "Shenyi Department" people, and his position was still the Commander of Shenyi Department.

Li Xuan’s promotion this time did not increase his authority at all. The only benefits were a higher salary and allowances. Also, in the future, he would be more confident when dealing with the five "Fumo Zhonglangjiang" from the "Shenlei Mansion".

Furthermore, Li Xuan got 320 major merits, while Luo Yan got 200. As for Jiang Hanyun and Su Zhaojun, they each received 20 major merits.

As for other elixirs and magical implements, Li Xuan did not pay much attention. Simply because medications like the "Liudao Renyuan Elixir" or any magical implement below top-grade could not attract his interest anymore.

Only the three "Liudao Diyuan Elixirs" and four Taoist "Six Refinements Ningyuan Elixirs" surprised Li Xuan for a while.

The former can increase cultivation, and the latter can refine his Mana, strengthening his Golden Body.

It normally takes twenty major merits to exchange for these pills, and it’s clear that Liudao Division knew what he wanted.

Worth mentioning is the "Juemie Fenyang Map" from the treasure of Liudao Division brought by Qiu Qianqiu.

Qiu Qianqiu’s "Juemie Palm" originated from it. Its power was not limited to palm or finger weapons.

"For killing the Law Bodies of Wu Zhiqi and Xiangyue, Liudao Division rewarded you based on twice the reward for killing the top monster in the black list. As for Bashe Changze, although he was not on the black list, he was a big headache for Liudao Division, so the reward standard was also the top of the black list.

Since Princess Changle and Jiang Yunqi are not personnel of Liudao Division, these major merits are all attributed to you and Luo Yan."

Perhaps worried that Li Xuan would be dissatisfied, Qiu Qianqiu specifically explained: "This is just for the part where you two killed the three big demons. The merits of quelling the flood will be discussed overall by the Merit Calculation Tower after the event is over. Estimated your major merits won’t be fewer than fifty. And also — "

Qiu Qianqiu then handed over a few drawings: "His Excellency ordered the Artifact Refining Pavilion to use the quickest speed to forge a pair of supreme rank magical implement dual blades for you and Luo Yan. Based on the ’Liangyi Tianji Dihe Battle Method’, specializing in light and thunder magic, to push your combat power to the extreme when the two blades are combined.

Luo Yan only has 240 major merits and is short of quite a few. You can make up for it first."

"So generous?", Li Xuan exclaimed in surprise as he took the drawings, "Wasn’t it said that our Liudao Division is recently hard-up for money?"

The previous time when Liudao Division forged an ace grade magical implement for him, they were rather stingy. But now, they’re forging four long blades for them all at once.

"It depends on the situation." Qiu Qianqiu chuckled, "Liudao Division’s finances may be tight, but we still need to spend money where we should. Your cooperation with Luo Yan’s dual blades would even force Wu Zhiqi and Xiangyue to retreat. If the superior ignored this, they would be incompetent."

There were some things that Qiu Qianqiu couldn’t talk about.

There are now three heavenly level experts in Liudao Division, but the Venerable of the Qinglong Hall, ’True Lord Lingyou’, is from the Zan Sect of Mount Longhu Tianshi’s mansion; Baihu Hall’s ’Master Huarang’ is a monk of the Zen Sect.

The real heavenly level power of the Liudao Division, in fact, belonged to only Divine Venerable Zhu Mingyue.

So, at this time, the Liudao Division would place unusually high importance on any heavenly level combat strength.

The way he looked at Li Xuan at the moment was full of emotion, thinking how in such a short time, Shiyu’s child had grown into a supporting pillar of their Liudao Division.

Previously, Qiu Qianqiu was worried that Li Xuan would not be able to establish himself in Beijing, but within less than three months, this guy had already presented him with the heads of Wu Zhiqi, Xiangyue and Changze.

Li Xuan was flipping through the pages, carefully inspecting the blueprint on hand. These diagrams were very simple and somewhat crude, they should be temporarily designed array maps, and many of the array structures had not been perfected yet.

But simply by looking at these unfinished array maps, Li Xuan knew that these four knives must be full of exquisite material, their sharpness, their divine power, could be approximated by this.

"It’s settled then!" A dazzling light gradually appeared in Li Xuan’s eyes: "How many merits do you want? All in all, six hundred should be enough, right? How long would it take to forge them?"

The reason for being six hundred was that the value of weapons always exceeded that of the same grade magical instrument by at least fifty percent.

Fortunately, it was a knife; if it were a heavy weapon like a halberd or a spear, it would be common for it to exceed the price of the same grade magical instruments by a hundred percent.

"At least three months, and that’s the fastest." Qiu Qianqiu said as expected: "If you want to forge these four knives, you must have six hundred and sixty merits. Divine Venerable said there would be no discount."

He glanced sideways at Li Xuan: "Even in solo mode, their power is the highest in the supreme magical implement. After they merge, the divine power of these four knives is almost equivalent to that of an immortal treasure. Moreover, there is a great potential for advancement. You have struck a big bargain."

※※※※

Unknown to Li Xuan, just as he and Qiu Qianqiu were preparing to choose a location to simulate ’Dari’, at a distance of about ten miles from Shangqing Palace.

Meng Qingfan, transformed into the shape of a dragon horse, walked aimlessly to the bank of the river, then stopped here, her eyes stared emptily at the river surface below.

Because of the previous several huge battles, her beast consciousness had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, leaving her in control of the body.

But Meng Qingfan hated why her beast consciousness hadn’t woken up yet? Why was she still conscious?

Looking at the murky river in front of her, Meng Qingfan involuntarily recalled the events of last night.

——Under the influence of divine power, she shamelessly sought from Li Xuan for a full six hours, even though he was in a coma, she was undeterred.

Meng Qingfan closed her eyes in extreme pain, even two lines of clear tears overflowing from the corner of her eyes.

She wanted to jump into the river and end it all.

However, Meng Qingfan knew clearly that the river couldn’t kill her, and Li Xuan wouldn’t let her die.

This would not help her escape from the suffering, but instead expose her true identity.

Just then, Meng Qingfan heard a familiar voice full of complex feelings from behind, "Junior Sister?"

Meng Qingfan looked back in surprise to find a handsome young man controlling a flying sword standing behind her. He was staring at Meng Qingfan, his eyes full of joy from long-awaited reunion, as well as sorrow and self-blame, all these emotions mixed together.

Senior Brother?

Meng Qingfan instinctively wanted to utter the words ’Senior Brother’, but she forcefully swallowed them before they came out of her mouth.

How should she face her senior brother now, given her current situation?

As Li Xuan’s mount, or even as a woman who had spent a passionate night with him?

The young man flying on the sword had been extremely eager for Meng Qingfan’s response, but in the end, his face showed some disappointment. He realized that the manifestation of Meng Qingfan’s Qilin shape was still governed by her beast consciousness.

When would her consciousness awaken?

——That beast Li Xuan!

His fists clenched tightly, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife. After a long time, he shook his head, put away his messy thoughts, and instead looked forward at the river with obscured eyes: "Forget it! I came here just to tell you that you just need to wait patiently another half a month. Our Master has already set up the scheme, and in at most half a month, Li Xuan will pay. That will also be the day you return to the Heaven Palace."

He knew that it was Meng Qingfan’s beast consciousness that dominated this Qilin form, but Meng Qingfan’s body could also acquire this memory belonging to the beast consciousness.

The young man’s eyes became gradually excited, "As for the forbidden spell on you, there’s no need to worry. Wenshan Seal and Qianqiu Brush share the same origin with the Book of Jinque, and what was implanted within your body is the ’Seal of God’. As long as you return to the Heaven Palace, our Master will naturally lift it for you——"

However, the young man didn’t notice that Meng Qingfan’s eyebrows had, at this point, furrowed deeply.

She didn’t know why, but at this moment she felt a strong sense of resistance and discomfort.
