From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 635 The truth is exposed
At this moment, the two people sat facing each other in the courtyard, clearly separated.

Li Qing's aura was also changing, and his entire body emitted a dark, hazy light. Beneath his fair skin, tiny, star-like silver rays were slowly surging, as if a treasure trove had a breach, with a continuous stream of silver rays surging out.

Under the unconscious influence of the silver light, the original "Sun-Installation Mind Technique" within her body conjured up a series of hidden deities that spread throughout her acupoints.

Surprisingly, less than twenty meters away from Li Qing, Li Yang, who had already cultivated the Clear Spirit, was still meditating cross-legged, seemingly oblivious to everything about Li Qing.

This strange phenomenon continued until noon.

As the sun blazed high in the sky, the surging silver light within Li Qing's body seemed to sense something, as if it had its own consciousness. After flickering and changing for a while, it quickly became covered in dust and dimmed, disappearing into his body and completely sealing itself off once again.

Li Qing frowned slightly, and the efficiency of his practice of the "Sun Seal Mind Method" suddenly dropped.

The moment the silver light completely faded, Li Yang awoke from his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and began refining the cultivation resources that Bai Yingluo had sent that morning, holding a spirit stone in each hand.

The blazing sun shone on their faces, making them appear as if they were draped in a sacred, glorious light.

"Your physical cultivation has improved rapidly."

In the evening, seeing Li Qing already trying to chop firewood in the courtyard, I couldn't help but click my tongue in amazement.

Logically speaking, this should only be the first day that Li Qing has achieved the Innate Realm, but after just one day of cultivation, Li Qing's physical body has made visible progress.

This can no longer be described as mere talent.

"Ah, amazing! I just wanted to try it out, I never thought it would actually work..."

Beads of sweat glistened on Li Qing's chin as he held the long strips of firewood. He smiled shyly at Li Qing, but his eyes were filled with undisguised joy and surprise.

After all, she was just an ordinary cowherd girl in Lanling Village before. Suddenly possessing such great power, she couldn't help but want to try more and see just how powerful she really was.

"You are exceptionally gifted in physical matters, so continuing to cultivate the 'Sun Seal Mind Technique' might be a waste of your talent."

Watching the pretty young girl fiddling with stones and chopping firewood in the courtyard, Li Yang stroked his chin and then spoke:

"I have some body-refining techniques here, which are also from the Dali Kingdom's treasury. I think you should have the capacity to learn them. If you have some free time, you might as well practice them as well."

Then Li Yang carried a small stack of yellowed pages out of the house and handed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing put down the axe in his hand, took it somewhat bewildered, and looked at the Da Li characters on the title page.

This was brought to Li Yang by Princess Bai Yingluo from the treasury of the Dali Dynasty four months ago, when he first arrived in Jianruo City. It contained all the body-refining techniques stored by the Dali Dynasty.

In the cultivation world, body cultivation has always been at the lowest level and not valued. There are no sects famous for pure body cultivation, and body cultivation techniques are not rare. At that time, Princess Bai Yingluo directly brought the original to Li Yang.

"When I asked the Princess for body-refining techniques that day, I originally wanted to see if they could solve some of my own problems. However, these body-refining techniques were too superficial and not very useful for my current cultivation level. I basically read through them once and practiced a few at random. They are very suitable for you."

Li Yang spoke softly, then let out a long sigh.

His physical body exposed a huge flaw when he fought against the six Earth Immortals of the Ultimate Realm on Blue Star. Although it improved after he rebuilt himself, it was far from enough for Li Yang. He had already comprehended an extremely powerful killing move called 'Three Elements in One', but due to the shortcomings of his physical body, he could only use it as a trump card killing move, like the Soaring Technique, which was a great pity.

"Thank you! Thank you, Immortal Baiyun!!"

At first, Li Qing had no idea what the yellowed books in his hands were like, but after hearing Li Yang's description, he realized that they were treasures from the Great Li Kingdom's treasury. He knew how precious they were and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Bang bang bang!
Li Qing clearly had no idea what she was going through. After several loud bangs, her forehead remained fair and smooth, but the bluestone paving stones had been smashed into pieces by her forehead.
Li Qing was stunned, and Li Yang was equally stunned.
Li Qing was a little dumbfounded, and timidly looked up at Li Yang.

"Immortal Baiyun... I, I didn't mean to. I'll go and buy new floor tiles tomorrow."

Li Yang's face twitched. He glanced enviously at Li Qing's forehead, which was completely free of any white marks, and left without a word.

May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings! This humble Taoist has always hated you cheaters the most!

Seeing that Li Yang was silent, Li Qing assumed that he had angered the gods by damaging the floor tiles, so he contacted the shop that night and purchased a new batch of floor tiles.

She's quite wealthy now. Although Li Yang doesn't pay her a salary, she accumulates the spirit stone powder left over from Li Yang's cultivation every day, making her quite rich.

The craftsman arrived at the door in the evening. By the time he finished replacing the bluestone bricks, it was already late at night. After paying the money, Li Qing turned around and found Li Yang sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon, holding a wine cup in his hand, not moving for a long time.

Tonight the moon is exceptionally clear and bright, a huge silver disc hanging in the sky, surrounded by a misty halo, illuminating the surrounding fields as if it were daytime.

As he approached, the tea in Li Yang's cup had stopped steaming, and his eyes, reflecting the bright moon, carried an unyielding sadness.

Li Qing walked carefully to Li Yang with his hands behind his back, looked up at the starry sky, took a deep breath, and his chest was filled with the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard and the unique freshness of Li Yang.

Li Yang still seemed lost in thought, while Li Qing simply sat cross-legged on the newly replaced bluestone slab, propping her head up with her hand. Her gaze kept shifting between the moonlight and the night sky. After a while, her eyes involuntarily lingered on Li Yang's features. Seeing the movement in his eyes, she rested her chin on her hands and remained silent.

The bright moon was shining in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing through the leaves. The courtyard suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Li Qing could hear her own breathing and heartbeat.

She was ordinary and naive, unable to articulate her feelings, only wishing that this time could last longer, much longer.

"Have the tile installers left yet?"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yang put down his teacup and looked down at Li Qing, who was sitting at his feet.

"Ah... oh, they've already left."

"Ah."

Li Qing snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with panic. She turned her face away and gave a soft reply.

After a while, he couldn't help but look up at Li Yang again: "Immortal, were you just having a spiritual journey? Or did your primordial spirit leave your body?"

Li Qing tilted his head and spoke some cultivation terms he had heard from Li Yang.

"How could I dare to leave my body at this moment?" Li Yang smiled bitterly, then shook his head: "It is the gentle moonlight tonight that reminds me of an old friend."

“I remember when I had just entered the Daoist path, I was still a novice in the mountains, and it was under such moonlight that I first met her.”

Li Yang's eyes showed reminiscence, and as he spoke, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Looking at Li Yang's appearance, Li Qing suddenly had a sudden inspiration and blurted out, "Is he the person you used to look for every day with a lantern back in the village?"

"good."

"Have you still not found the immortal?"

"No." Li Yang sighed, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky. "Sometimes I wonder, in this lifetime, will I ever find her again? Are some of the thoughts in my heart just self-deception?"

“But I will still keep searching. She is my Daoist companion. When I became an immortal, I made a great vow that no matter what, no matter where she is, I will always save her from this mortal world.”

After speaking, Li Yang sighed, then immediately suppressed all distracting thoughts, took out a meditation cushion from the room, and began to sit cross-legged again.
She had just taken a rare moment of rest because her master was replacing the floor tiles in the yard. Since he arrived in Jianruo City, he had never given her a break in the past four months.

Li Qing remained seated, pondering Li Yang's words for a long time. Her two white porcelain-like canine teeth pressed into crescent moons on her lips. She felt a complex mix of emotions that she couldn't explain. After a long while, she looked at Li Yang, who was already in meditation in the courtyard, and then made a wish upon the bright moon in the sky.

"Immortal Baiyun, you will definitely find the person you are looking for, you definitely will!"

Li Qing offered his sincere blessings, then stood up, pulled up a prayer mat, sat down opposite Li Yang, and began his cultivation.

After a long time, when the two of them entered a meditative state, silver light suddenly emerged from Li Qing's body, shining brightly alongside the stars in the sky.

Silent all night.

As the moon set in the west and the sun rose again in the east, Li Yang exhaled a breath of turbid air when the moon had completely disappeared. He frowned slightly but remained silent and continued his cultivation.

"boom!"

Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly and violently pushed open, completely shattering the tranquility of the courtyard.

Li Qing was also startled awake from his meditation. Just as he was about to angrily glare at who dared to kick down the door at such a young age, Bai Yingluo, pale-faced and covered in sweat, rushed in in a panic.

"Brother, run! Leave Jianruo City! Leave Dali! Quickly!!!"

Bai Yingluo stumbled and ran towards Li Yang. The princess of a nation was now as hysterical as a peasant woman at the entrance of a village, her face as pale as paper.

"I've found out where that sorcerer Zhang Hengming is! He's gone to the Northern Frontier in disguise! There are soldiers there who helped me bring you back to Jianruo City from Lanling Village. I received a secret report this morning that all those soldiers disappeared overnight. That Zhang Hengming probably already knows your true identity!!"

Bai Yingluo was filled with horror, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
This was devastating news that could destroy the entire Dali Kingdom. She thought she had kept the matter completely hidden, and even personally delivered supplies to the courtyard every day as a princess. But she never expected that the old fox Zhang Hengming would be so cunning and actually follow the clues to the Northern Frontier.

Now their lifeline was completely in their grasp. Bai Yingluo couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Hengming directly reported this news to the Nine Sects...

At that time, not only Li Yang, but the entire Great Li capital will be annihilated by the nine sects. Destroying the country would be the least of their worries; billions of people will likely be refined into immortal beings!

"Go, go quickly! Preserve your lives for future use. Jianruo City and Dali are no longer safe!"

Bai Yingluo yelled at Li Yang and tried to shake him while he was meditating, but Li Qing coldly took her down.

"Your Highness, the Immortal Baiyun is cultivating and must not be disturbed."

It took Bai Yingluo a long time to recognize Li Qing. Before she could even be surprised at how the dark-skinned Erniu had transformed into such a bright and lively girl, Bai Yingluo, her face full of anxiety, still couldn't help but shout at Li Yang.

"Brother Wang, it will be too late if we don't leave now!"

"It's too late..."

Li Yang slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long puff of white air from his mouth and nose. His eyes flashed with divine light, but he looked directly behind him, past the stalemate between Li Qing and Bai Yingluo.

The wooden door, which hadn't been closed in time, was wide open. Bai Yingluo turned around, her expression changed, and she whistled.
There was no response. Where did the two soldiers guarding the door go?
Bai Yingluo's pupils suddenly contracted, and her lips turned completely bloodless.

"True Lord Baiyun... Crown Prince of Dali... Bai Moro..."

"Your identity truly surprises this immortal lord at every turn..."

A sinister voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Before the words were finished, a fat Taoist priest with a face full of scars squeezed through the wooden door. His huge body broke the door frame, making a creaking sound.

The fat Taoist priest had a smile on his face and his eyes were narrowed like mung beans. He completely ignored Bai Yingluo and Li Qing. Since entering the courtyard, his eyes had been fixed on Li Yang, who was sitting upright on a futon.

The moment Bai Yingluo saw the fat Taoist priest, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body trembled slightly.

Looking at the door frame that had been damaged by the fat Taoist priest, Li Qing was annoyed and about to scold him when he saw that he would have to spend money to find someone to repair it. But when he saw the solemn expression on Baiyun Immortal's face and the trembling Princess, he pouted and remained silent.

The fat Taoist priest's beady eyes swept over Li Yang, then looked at the pale-faced Bai Yingluo, like a kind elder.

"Yingluo, are you scared?"

"But that makes sense. You should indeed be afraid. I, Zhang Hengming, consider myself a man of extraordinary courage, but I never expected that your Great Li Dynasty would be even bolder than me, practically tantamount to causing a catastrophe."

"No, you've already stirred up a hornet's nest by killing the direct descendants of the Nine Sects' Immortals! This Immortal Lord is actually starting to admire you."

Zhang Hengming clicked his tongue, looking on with admiration.

"Grand Preceptor, now that you know everything, what are your plans?"

Unable to figure out how Zhang Hengming ended up here, Bai Yinglu mustered her courage, took a step forward, and asked.

Zhang Hengming's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold, and he waved his sleeve at Bai Yingluo: "Enough with the noise! ​​How dare a mere ant speak to this Immortal Lord like that!!"

With a simple flick of his sleeve, the airflow surged in the wind, instantly creating a hurricane that swept through the courtyard and rapidly approached Bai and Li.

The thick, sturdy stone table was swept in and instantly turned to dust. As the two women turned pale, Li Yang, who was behind them, stood up and gently waved his hand. A gentle breeze followed, dispelling the hurricane.

"Impressive tactics! No wonder you have such audacity!"

"White Moro, come up here and let's talk!"

Zhang Hengming sneered, and like a sharp sword, he suddenly shot into the sky, the powerful impact crushing all the newly laid paving stones in the courtyard into dust.

Li Yang calmly gazed at the sky, then also leaped into the air.

Bai and Li looked at each other speechlessly, only able to look up at the two black dots disappearing into the horizon.

Li Qing looked down at the desolate courtyard, where flowers and plants were withered and broken, and walls were crumbling. After a long while, she suddenly burst into tears.

She knew that the peaceful life in the courtyard would never return.

"Immortal, what's wrong?"
