Chapter 481 Here comes the business

"The most important thing in the country is to sacrifice to the army. The Universiade court called on all places to transport incense and plan to hold a big sacrifice on June 6th next year..."

"On Yanshan Road, in the land of Jiangzhou, there was a young man who wanted to go to Samadhi Cave to learn from his master, holding a broken sword he picked up by the roadside..."

"Master Yuan Qing secretly issued a summons to invite the heads of various sects to meet at Yiqi Villa to discuss important matters..."

"The master thief Mo Yinke, after lying dormant for decades, stole the longevity elixir from the Qinglong Pavilion. The master of the pavilion, Tian Shezi, was furious and sent many masters to hunt him down. He was suspected of going to the city of Universiade God..."

…

“The quality of this listening session is very high.”

Li Yuan was slightly shaken: "The imperial court has already set a date for the big sacrifice? Is it so urgent?"

After listening to hundreds of voices, Li Yuan dug for gold in the sand and picked out important information.

What he is most concerned about is naturally the imperial court's grand ceremony, which is likely to affect Jianghu Daozong.

"Next June is June 6th, which is only eleven months away."

Li Yuan felt slightly chilled in his heart.

According to the records in the "Sacrifice to Gods" chapter, preparations for similar large sacrifices can take at least ten years, or even dozens or even hundreds of years.

How long did it take for the imperial court to do this?

Buzz~

Li Yuan thought about it in his mind and continued listening.

"After a secret meeting with Chi Zhuiyang, Chief Jingping sent many experts to gather at Dinglong Mountain with the intention of patrolling the mountain..."

Chief Jingping, Chi Zhuiyang?

Li Yuan was slightly shocked: "These two people actually got together? Then wouldn't this secret realm be exposed?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled, thinking of the owner of Zhaixinglou and Qin Yun.

"No wonder, these two are also fishing."

Li Yuan's mind was sharp, and after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved. Although Chief Jingping was on the God List, the reputation of the Master of Star Building was still above him.

Not to mention that there is a person who was once the best in the world hiding in secret.

"There's an undercurrent surging."

Squinting his eyes, Li Yuan felt a little emotional.

Jianghu has always been troubled, but he has stayed relatively out of it. The struggles and frictions between various forces have actually never stopped.

He continued to listen, but after that there was nothing much to say. Most of them were rumors and secret affairs of someone's boudoir.

For example, which master had a fire in his backyard, which master secretly kept a concubine, which master had an illegitimate child...

As he listened, Li Yuan fell asleep, and just when he was about to end the listening, he suddenly became energetic.

"After the master thief Sikong Xing narrowly escaped death, he harbored resentment against the imperial court and set his sights on the Yunxiang Cauldron escorted by the Jingping Division from Dinglong Mountain..."

Yunxiang Cauldron!

With a jolt, Li Yuan lost all sleep.

"Fat...lucky star!"

Li Yuan became energetic.

In the past few years, he has been listening to music almost every day, but he has only listened to music about incense. Last time, it was the bone vajra carrying the cauldron to find the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva.

"Sikong Xing is really my lucky star...but, how happened that the incense escort came from Dinglong Mountain?"

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Li Yuan was also a little wary. He had doubts about Si Kong Xing's ability to escape.

Could it be that Si Jingping is fishing?

"Something's not right... Sikong Xing isn't worthy of Jingping Si using the Yunxiang Cauldron to catch him. He can't be here to catch me, right?"

Li Yuan was very flexible, and he had not forgotten why Si Kong Xing was wanted by the Jingping Division.

Yunxiang Ding is used by state-level yamen to hold incense. One mouthful is at least the incense accumulated by a state-level government for several years, or even ten years.

It’s not worth using it to catch Sikong Xing, but if it’s used to catch yourself...

"It may not be such a coincidence, but it's better to be careful."

Li Yuan turned over and sat up, his mind already focused on the soldier's space. He was fully prepared for going down the mountain this time.

Not only did he borrow a few magic weapons from the Divine Weapon Hall, but he also brought along all the spiritual boots that Wang Peiyao was searching for.

"With my current attainments in Qinggong, plus a pair of sixth-level and seventh-level boots, even a top master can maneuver around. If the timing is right, there should be no problem in advancing or retreating."

Li Yuan thought to himself as he counted the various weapons and items on the stone platform.

He is not working behind closed doors. Over the past few days, he has been training in the Xuanjingmen True Inheritance Trial, and has at least dozens or hundreds of fierce battles with those grandmasters with eternal talents.

Although it was impossible to compete, he was certainly sure of the deal.

"The only thing we have to worry about is Chief Jingping. Although he is probably coming to the Star-Zhain Tower, we have to be on guard."

Li Yuan was a little moved, but also wary.

Whether it's promotion of palm music, listening to music, or even exploring the secluded realm, you need incense.

But if it concerns the Grand Master...

Opening his eyes, Li Yuan touched the Canglong cassock under the Taoist robe. The old dragon head should still be there, right?

…

Li Yuan stayed in the Bafang Tower for another two days and climbed to about the 1,500th floor.

Qin Yun and the owner of the Star Reaching Tower did not show up, and Li Yuan was too lazy to climb the tower slowly anymore, so he simply crushed the token and chose to exit.

He was a little concerned about the Yunxiang Cauldron.

When he came out of the tower, it was already late at night. Li Yuan looked up at the sky. The moonlight was hazy and the wind was slightly cold.

"It's been raining in the past two days."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. His ability to read the sky is now better than that of an old farmer who has been farming for half his life.

Of course, only if it rains.

The Bafang Pagoda was deserted after nightfall. Only a few people guarding the tower were sitting quietly in the pavilion. Li Yuan glanced at it and quickly went to look for Lao Han.

He was going to ask about the conditions for entry and exit of this secret realm.

"..."

Li Yuan only knocked on the door, and the door opened, and Han Chuijun stood in the courtyard.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"What do you think?"

Han Chuijun glared at him: "If someone knocks on the door and you still don't wake up, I would have died in the mountains long ago."

After closing the door, he frowned and asked, "Why did you get out of the tower in just a few days?"

"Well, I learned a little bit, and I'd like to chat with you."

Of course, it was impossible for Li Yuan to say that he wanted to engage in a "black and white" business, but he was not prevaricating casually.

He indeed had a lot to communicate with Lao Han.

"oh?"

Han Chuijun's heart moved slightly.

Buzz~

In the room, Li Yuan stretched out his hand, and the black whale's true energy circulated and turned into the thunder dragon's true energy. It flowed and intertwined between his five fingers and turned into a miniature thunder dragon:

"Can you tell the difference?"

"different?"

Han Chuijun's eyes narrowed and he noticed something strange.

The shape of true energy wandering between Li Yuan's fingers looks the same as his thunder dragon at first glance, but in fact it is completely different.

"Thunder dragon is the skin, your shape, could it be..."

Han Chuijun stopped at the right time, and his meaning was self-evident.

"The thunder dragon is the skin, the diamond is the spine, the dragon and the tiger are the bones, the ten thousand-bladed spiritual dragon is the sinews, and all the shapes are filled..."

Li Yuan has nothing to hide from Lao Han. In the past few days, he has also been sorting out the various martial arts he has learned:

"This shape-changing combination of disciples was born out of Thunder Dragon, mixed with all kinds of unique skills, with the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Picture as the core.

The disciples call him ‘Long Kun’.”

"Long Kun?"
