"Is joining the Four Spiritual Lineages related to the true teachings and external cultivation techniques?"
Li Xijun keenly sensed the problem.
"Is there any trick or secret involved?"
"Yes, all the divine skills and ultimate techniques are key to each sect..."
Li Qinghan was about to explain to Li Xijun the intricacies of the four spiritual veins within the Zhongxing Palace.
But halfway through her speech, she suddenly looked up and stared intently.
Suddenly, a blazing flame ignited, transforming into a fiery red figure that appeared without warning.
"Hehehe... There are quite a few key points here~"
A slightly lazy and playful female voice suddenly rang out, and a scorching aura instantly enveloped Li Xijun. He only felt a fragrant breeze, and the fiery red figure appeared beside him as if by teleportation.
The moment she appeared, her fiery aura, as if the Vermilion Bird had been reborn, caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.
This attracted the attention of both Li Xijun and Li Qinghan.
This time, the Vermilion Bird Venerable changed into a conservative and noble red palace dress with gold thread. Even so, the full and rounded peaks on her chest still showed amazing weight and curvature under the solemn palace dress, like ripe peaches. This made Li Xijun unconsciously admire the lifelike Vermilion Bird pattern embroidered in gold thread on the other's chest.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable ignored Li Qinghan's instantly icy gaze and teased him, saying:
"Little brother, your eyes are still quite mischievous..."
"Hmph!" Li Qinghan snorted coldly, took a step forward, and subtly shielded Li Xijun behind him.
The white-clad fairy's gaze grew increasingly hostile as she looked at the other person:
"Teacher, why aren't you cultivating in the Fire Hall? What are you doing here at hope Jun's place in the outer sect?"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable seemed completely unconcerned by Li Qinghan's coldness and wariness, covering his lips with a light laugh, his eyes sparkling:
"Oh dear, older sisters are always so possessive of their food. As for why I'm here..."
Her gaze shifted to Li Xijun, who was being protected behind Li Qinghan, and she smiled warmly.
"Naturally, it's to thank our young hero!"
"Thank you?" Li Qinghan frowned slightly.
That's right.
'
The Vermilion Bird Venerable's lips curled up.
"My good-for-nothing niece, Mu Hongling, also had a breakthrough yesterday and advanced to the inner sect."
"When I talked to her, I learned about what your younger brother had been doing in the outer sect these past few days. First, he turned the tide in Blackstone County, and later he even helped Hongling get the 'Heavenly Hearing and Earthly Listening Pill'. As her aunt, I naturally had to come and thank my younger brother Xijun for taking care of our Hongling."
She emphasized the word "take care of," and her eyes swept between Li Xijun and Li Qinghan in an ambiguous way.
Upon hearing this, Li Qinghan's cold gaze instantly turned to Li Xijun, carrying a hint of inquiry and question.
Li Xijun felt a slight chill run down her spine as she sensed her sister's gaze.
He was about to explain, but the Vermilion Bird Venerable, who was probably up to no good, preemptively changed the subject with a light laugh:
"Alright, that's all for the thanks. Didn't you want to know the intricacies of choosing a cultivation technique, Xiaoxi-kun?"
"Qinghan is family, so it's inevitable that there will be some bias. Let me tell you about the key to the Four Spirits and Four Veins of the Star Palace!"
Her demeanor was casual, yet she exuded an undeniable authority.
"The cultivation techniques for the Opening Acupoint Realm are no ordinary matters!"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable toned down his seductive demeanor, a hint of solemnity flashing in his phoenix eyes.
"It is not merely a cultivation method for the Enlightenment Realm, but also determines the foundation of your future path in the Outer Realm. Once you choose an Enlightenment cultivation method from a particular lineage, the subsequent Outer Realm cultivation methods can only follow the system of that lineage. Therefore, choosing which lineage to follow is of paramount importance."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over Li Xijun and Li Qinghan, before beginning her analysis:
"The 'White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual' is unparalleled in its killing power and ruthlessness, which aligns well with your sister's style."
The Vermilion Bird Venerable glanced at Li Qinghan, whose expression was aloof.
"However, the positions of true disciples are limited. The White Tiger lineage already has all seven true disciple slots, which are already full. Unless..."
She paused meaningfully, "Unless a true disciple unfortunately perishes, even if you join the White Tiger lineage, you can only cultivate ordinary external realm techniques and will have no chance of this supreme divine skill."
"The 'Xuanwu Zhenhai Fudi Fa' is as solid as a mountain, with unparalleled defense, and it takes a steady and reliable approach. Their lineage still has vacancies."
The Vermilion Bird Venerable changed the subject, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"However, the trouble lies with that Xuanwu fellow. She's rarely in the palace, supposedly searching for some ancient ruins in the northern desert, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. If you want to learn the 'Xuanwu Suppressing the Sea and Covering the Earth Technique,' you can only go to the Xuanwu Palace and, under the witness of the elders, comprehend the technique's inheritance stored in the [Xuanwu Seal]."
"The Black Tortoise Seal?" Li Xijun asked curiously.
"That's right." Venerable Suzaku nodded.
"That is a supreme treasure passed down from ancient times, containing the true meaning of Xuanwu. The core inheritance of each of the four spiritual lineages is actually sealed in their respective 'spiritual seals'. These spiritual seals are extremely mysterious, and it is said that only a great power in the Dharma Body Realm can fully activate their power."
Their primary function is to preserve and pass on cultivation techniques. Anyone who receives the recognition of the spiritual seal or undergoes a specific ritual can directly perceive the complete transmission of the cultivation technique from the spiritual seal, thus avoiding the risk of the technique being lost.
"But the problem is... you can comprehend things, but when you encounter difficulties in cultivation, you can only figure it out on your own, or travel thousands of miles to that damned desert to try your luck and see if you can find that dead tortoise to ask for his guidance in person."
"As for the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique,' it is full of vitality, long-lasting and resilient, and has miraculous effects in healing injuries, prolonging life, and nourishing oneself. Its potential is also enormous."
As the Vermilion Bird Venerable spoke, his gaze carried a distinct hint of detachment.
"The Azure Dragon lineage still has one spot for a true disciple. However, the current Holy Son of the Azure Dragon Palace is at odds with me. Moreover, he has been supporting Jin Zangfeng of your White Tiger lineage in his struggle for the position against your sister. Your sister is the Holy Maiden of the White Tiger. If you join the Azure Dragon lineage, you might face difficulties and exclusion."
At this point, Venerable Vermilion Bird emphasized:
"More importantly, the Azure Dragon Seal has long been lost. According to the rules, the Azure Dragon lineage's inheritance is entirely the responsibility of the Azure Dragon Holy Son. Although it has always been said that entering the Human Ranking means becoming a true disciple, ... whether one can become a true disciple, and even how the techniques will be taught in the future, still depends on others."
At this point, Venerable Vermilion Bird appeared on Li Xijun's other side without anyone noticing.
Ignoring Li Qinghan's increasingly displeased expression, she placed a delicate hand naturally on Li Xijun's shoulder, her warm breath close to his ear, her fragrance like orchids:
"So, Nozomi-kun—"
Her voice was incredibly seductive.
"How about joining my Vermilion Bird lineage? We still have openings. If you agree, I'll not only teach you the basic chapters of the 'Vermilion Bird Blazing Fire Heaven Scripture' for the Qi Opening Realm, but I can even make an exception and teach you the subsequent external chapters as well... What do you say?"
She slightly increased the distance between them, her phoenix eyes gleaming with confidence:
"Of course, you're not just a pushover either. You'd better make it into the top ten of the Human Ranking in the future and help my Star Palace become famous."
"Now that Qinghan has given you the Nine Dragon Jade, with her helping you cultivate the 'Emperor's Qi Observation Technique,' getting into the top ten on the Human Ranking shouldn't be too difficult."
As Li Xijun listened to the words of Venerable Zhuque, his mind raced, and he roughly understood the other party's intentions.
Nine times out of ten, it's because he learned from Mu Hongling about his progress and combat performance over the past month and wants to become the true successor of the Vermilion Bird lineage, which is why he came to say so much analysis.
but,
Judging from Li Qinghan's behavior of not interrupting the other person,
This suggests that her analysis of the four elements of the constellation is entirely truthful.
Moreover, the conditions offered by this Venerable Vermilion Bird were indeed tempting; a bird in the hand is worth more than ten birds in the bush.
The exterior scenes of the "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire Burns the Heavens Scripture" are now readily available.
Having a venerable master to guide you is indeed far better than trying your luck in other sects.
As for the top ten on the list?
This is not a difficult task.
Li Xijun already had a vague answer in his heart, and just as he was about to agree.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable seemed to remember something, and quickly leaned closer, whispering seductively:
"Moreover, our Vermilion Bird lineage's 'Vermilion Bird Blazing Fire Heaven Scripture' contains a top-tier dual cultivation Nirvana Secret Technique."
It can both enhance the cultivation of both parties and also has a healing effect. Little Xi-kun, if you want to learn, I, your older sister, am willing to...
.
"Clam!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Qinghan thrust out a three-inch sword with his left hand. The rampant cold air made Li Xijun shiver involuntarily.
He quickly and seriously replied:
"Okay! I agree!"
Li Xijun nodded decisively, her tone firm and righteous.
"This disciple is willing to join the Vermilion Bird lineage. Thank you for your kindness, Venerable One. As for the top ten on the Human Ranking, this disciple will do my best."
"Great!" Venerable Vermilion Bird was overjoyed upon hearing this and patted Li Xijun's shoulder happily.
Although Li Qinghan's expression was cold, she did not object.
Entering the Vermilion Bird lineage to cultivate that supreme divine skill is indeed Li Xijun's best choice at present.
However, Li Xijun's next words plunged the two women standing at the top of the Star Palace into unprecedented shock!
"However—" Li Xijun looked at Venerable Zhuque and Li Qinghan, and calmly added, "I have managed to master the martial art of 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique'."
"What?"
"What did you say?!"
Two distinct exclamations rang out almost simultaneously!
The Vermilion Bird Venerable's hand on Li Xijun's shoulder suddenly froze, and the charming smile on her face instantly turned into an expression of disbelief.
Li Qinghan's perpetually icy and aloof expression suddenly changed. Her eyes, like pools of ice, widened abruptly, her pupils contracting sharply as she stared intently at Li Xijun, as if trying to see right through him.
The sword intent emanating from her body fluctuated uncontrollably for a moment, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
"It's repaired—it's finished?!"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable's voice trembled slightly, a tremor she herself was unaware of.
"Are you sure you've 'mastered' the 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique'? Or just barely scratched the surface?"
Venerable Zhuque found it somewhat unbelievable.
But Li Qinghan, who practiced this martial art, simply couldn't believe it.
She knew all too well how difficult this technique was; it could only be practiced by those with a dragon-like destiny, and it was incredibly difficult to master.
Even someone at her level deeply understands its profound mystery and difficulty.
Even she spent a lot of effort to master it.
How could Li Xijun have so easily succeeded in cultivating the Nine Dragon Jade after only a short time having obtained it?
He clearly doesn't have the destiny of a dragon!
Faced with Li Qinghan's undisguised skepticism and the Suzaku Venerable's bewildered gaze,
Li Xijun remained calm, offering no explanation, but a slight thought stirred within him.
"Buzz!"
An indescribable, ancient, noble, and seemingly all-encompassing "power" emanated from his body without warning.
At the same time, two barely perceptible golden lights suddenly appeared deep within his eyes, and his entire demeanor instantly became incredibly profound and lofty.
Even the pure sword intent hidden within Li Qinghan's body, as deep and boundless as an abyss,
The fiery true essence surrounding Venerable Vermilion Bird was scorching and surging, seemingly capable of incinerating all things.
Its trajectory and core nodes are all clearly visible under his "eyes that can see the qi"!
The invisible yet omnipresent "qi" of heaven and earth was now completely analyzed in Li Xijun's eyes.
Insight!
At this moment, no words are needed!
Li Qinghan and the Vermilion Bird Venerable instantly sensed that all-pervading gaze and the supreme majesty originating from the depths of their destinies.
"hiss--.-
The Vermilion Bird Venerable gasped, the horror in his phoenix eyes turning into a raging storm!
Li Qinghan slowly loosened his grip on the sword hilt. In his cold eyes, shock gradually subsided, eventually transforming into an unprecedented, almost absent-minded, complex light as he gazed at his younger brother.
quiet!
A deathly silence enveloped the area!
Only that invisible, all-knowing aura flowed endlessly through Li Xijun.
At this moment, Venerable Vermilion Bird was completely thrown into chaos.
For the first time, Li Qinghan began to have doubts about her own background. Could it be that Eunuch Li had played another trick, and she was also hiding something?
But... in that case, wouldn't Li Jingde be gambling that he would definitely go to save Li Xijun?
not to mention,
The dragon aura and destiny within him were not the same as the imperial aura that Li Yan possessed, which was disguised as that of an emperor.
Li Qinghan also fell into a state of incomprehensible contemplation.
Until Li Xijun couldn't help but speak up:
"Um... I don't have the destiny of a dragon, but the destiny of a true dragon."
Moreover, it possesses the destiny of a true dragon, at the level of the Dragon King White Dragon.
Li Xijun didn't say this aloud, but what she just said was already shocking enough.
"A true dragon's destiny?"
Venerable Vermilion Bird was the first to speak, exclaiming in surprise:
"Your destiny is that of an emperor? Isn't that a level above even poverty and hardship?"
Li Qinghan couldn't help but look at Li Xijun, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Ultimately, she came to an unbelievable conclusion in her mind:
"So, when Eunuch Li randomly chose a boy to hide, he inadvertently discovered someone with the destiny of a true dragon."
"Or perhaps it's because hope Jun is destined for greatness, blessed with good fortune, that he was able to enter the Li household and live a life of comfort and ease?"
Recalling Li Xijun's behavior all along, Li Qinghan suddenly felt that his guess made a lot of sense: "Perhaps it is because the world is about to undergo a great change... So it is only when the world is in turmoil and dragons and snakes rise that a destiny like Xijun's will be born."
Li Qinghan found a suitable reason herself.
The Venerable Vermilion Bird, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement even more.
Because only in this way could it be explained. After quickly accepting this, the Venerable Vermilion Bird was even more delighted and couldn't wait to grab Li Xijun's wrist.
"Come, come, hope Jun, I will take you to inherit the 'Vermilion Bird Blazing Heaven Scripture' of my Vermilion Bird lineage!"
Before Li Qinghan could say anything, she and Li Xijun vanished in an instant, turning into a streak of light.
