Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Xiaoqing blushed upon hearing this, her face turning as red as a ripe apple, making her incredibly adorable. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, I didn't!"

As she spoke, she seemed unwilling to admit it, a huge contrast that was quite amusing.

Feng Heng smiled slightly, not getting involved. Bai Suzhen said softly, "Alright, Qing'er, don't overthink it. Our husband belongs to all of us."

At this point, she gazed at Li Xiuyuan with deep affection.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let's hurry back!"

As he spoke, he took Bai Suzhen and the others by the hand and headed towards the small house in the middle of West Lake.

After Li Xiuyuan spoke, everyone naturally did not disobey and quickly headed towards the center of the lake. Before long, they returned.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he looked at the three people and said calmly, "I suppose you all know that Fahai is dead, but he will be reincarnated. And there are Buddhists in the underworld. At that time, my world-destroying black lotus will be exposed."

Therefore, we cannot stay in West Lake for too long, otherwise we will attract the attention of Buddhist monks.

In particular, the three of you practice the Supreme Heavenly Demon True Scripture, which is unforgivable in the eyes of Buddhism.

Therefore, I intend to have you leave West Lake.

As he spoke, he glanced at the three people.

Feng Heng nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'll listen to you, Heng."

Without hesitation, she agreed.

Bai Suzhen replied softly, "Yes, I will follow your arrangements, my lord."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned to Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Well, since Sister Bai and Aheng are leaving, I don't want to stay any longer."

She agreed, but her tone was that of a good friend.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "Yes!"

This outcome was obviously unexpected, and he had long anticipated it. As for Xiaoqing's stubborn insistence that it was for Feng Heng and Bai Suzhen, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly at it.

Under this gaze, Xiaoqing felt as if her whole body was being seen through, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's pack our things and leave quickly!"

With that, he instructed everyone to prepare to leave.

Li Xiuyuan's twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus is extremely powerful. If the Buddhist sect finds out, they will definitely take action. It would be safer to leave sooner.

The three of them exchanged glances, seemingly having little to no possessions. Bai Suzhen said calmly, "My lord, the most precious thing we have is you. We need not concern ourselves with the rest."

As they spoke, all three of them nodded in unison.

Li Xiuyuan asked, "Oh. Xiaoqing, you're the great water demon king of West Lake, aren't you going to give orders to your shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"

He knew perfectly well that Xiaoqing had subdued thousands of water demons in West Lake, and here, her word was law.

Xiaoqing curled her lip upon hearing this and said, "Hmph, they're just a few little demons. Why would I care? Those guys are just afraid of my strength."

As she spoke, she appeared nonchalant, but in reality, she understood very well that the water demon submitted to her only because she feared its power.

As long as one's power is strong enough, subduing minor monsters is a piece of cake. She has a clear understanding of the true nature of this world.

Li Xiuyuan saw it even more clearly. If he weren't strong enough, it would be very difficult to get Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing to follow him!

As for love, Li Xiuyuan found it laughable. Without superior ability, how could your wife allow you to take a concubine?

It's as if it were a later era; if you don't have a lot of money and are caught messing around with other women, your wife will definitely dump you.

Conversely, if someone has money, most wives will turn a blind eye if they find out.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "Alright, let's go then!"

As they spoke, the group took to the air again, and as they left, a sword aura fell into the house, destroying everything inside.

The river cuts through mountains and cliffs, rushing down with tremendous force; the roaring river, like a waterfall hanging in the air, crashes for thousands of miles.

The beautiful, undulating mountains wind and twist like a sleeping dragon. Looking down, white clouds fill the air, and the surrounding peaks are shrouded in mist, with each mountaintop peeking out from the clouds like a lotus flower emerging from the water.

The fusion of mountains and water is a combination of stillness and movement, a blend of monotony and splendor, which together create the most beautiful scenery.

The green mountains on both sides of the river stand facing each other, their verdant trees dripping with moisture.

Li Xiuyuan looked up to see towering peaks obscuring the sky, and below him, a clear stream murmured, with strange rocks lying on the water. The beauty of the mountains in the rain was entirely elusive, existing only in a hazy, indistinct way.

With towering peaks and clear, mirror-like waters, the green hills float on the water, their reflections shimmering, creating a picturesque scene that stretches for miles like a gallery.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up. Three days had passed since they left West Lake, and they had found a place with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful scenery.

This place is several miles away from West Lake. Even if Buddhist monks had great supernatural powers, they probably wouldn't be able to find it!

Chapter 175 Eating the White Snake

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "My lord, the scenery here is beautiful. Why don't we settle down here?"

As she spoke, her face was as smooth as jade, her eyes were bright as water, and she smiled radiantly. She was not only beautiful and charming, but also possessed an indescribable allure and loveliness.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes, it is indeed nice. Let's stay here!"

With that, he waved his right hand and used his transformation technique, creating a thatched hut in the secluded mountains for everyone to rest in.

At the same time, Li Xiuyuan added in his mind, "It's not 'us,' but 'you who' have settled down here."

Li Xiuyuan wouldn't stay in this mountain range forever. He had already surveyed the area and found no powerful figures within a hundred miles. Although this place couldn't compare to the back mountain of Lingyin Temple, it wasn't far off.

Moreover, Li Xiuyuan can exchange some top-grade spirit crystals from the 'Merit Mall' to set up a spirit-gathering array at the gate, which can make the spiritual energy in the mountain more abundant.

This spirit-gathering array was obtained by Li Xiuyuan from the inheritance of Jianglong. Every major mountain sect has a protective array, so even if an ordinary person comes here, they won't be able to find their way.

Some advanced formations are so powerful that even Li Xiuyuan couldn't break them. This Spirit Gathering Formation has many benefits, so it's natural that he should try it.

Li Xiuyuan explained it to the three people, and they suddenly understood. Although they had heard of formations, they had never seen one before.

scold!

Li Xiuyuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and five emerald green rays of light shot out, each three zhang high. They sprayed into the air like a fountain, spreading out in an umbrella shape in all directions, covering the entire mountain range.

Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes, sensing the power of the Spirit Gathering Array.

As the spiritual energy gathered, a faint white mist seemed to rise in the air.

Li Xiuyuan felt that boundless spiritual energy was being drawn into the world and absorbed into the entire mountain peak, with not a single trace leaking out.

As the spirit-guiding array was activated, spiritual energy ten times greater than before surged along the array's core.

"Buzz!"

The Spirit Gathering Array was activated to its maximum effect instantly, and the five spirit crystals floated up out of thin air, emitting a hazy white light that formed a light curtain that enveloped the entire mountain range.

Within this mountain range, wisps of white mist condensed in the air at an almost visible speed.

These white mists eventually accumulated into clouds.

Li Xiuyuan felt as if he were in a fairy palace shrouded in clouds and mist. With each breath he took, spiritual energy several times purer than before was absorbed into his body, and both his jade bones and silver blood cheered with joy.

After completing his arrangements, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that in the next hundred years, the spiritual energy of this mountain range would be ten times richer than that outside, making cultivation twice as effective.

Although it cannot compare to Lingyin Temple on the back mountain of Li Xiuyuan, it is not far off. In Jianglong's memory, the spiritual energy in that Ling Mountain was even more concentrated, as if it were a tangible substance.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly. It was a pity that this place was not as good as Mount Ling, much less as good as the Thirty-Three Heavens. Moreover, those spirit crystals were not ordinary objects; they were formed from the condensation of chaotic energy. Only a saint could achieve such a level.

Even a master like a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't have this much. After Li Xiuyuan exchanged five spirit crystals from the 'Merit Shop,' he spent a total of 100000 merit points.

At this moment, Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "My lord, the spiritual energy here is so rich. I feel that I can break through it in just two years."

As she spoke, her eyes shone brightly. Why had she listened to Guanyin Bodhisattva in the first place? It was all for the sake of entering the realm of celestial immortals, and now she could achieve that right now.

Two years is not a long time for some monsters, and monsters have a longer lifespan than humans, but their talents are somewhat inferior.

Of course, one must also take a liking to those monsters, such as the dragons, whose talents are definitely not lacking, and the first ancestor among humans, who received the gift of Nuwa's essence blood, whose lifespan will not be short either.

Li Xiuyuan nodded after hearing this and replied, "Yes, I believe in you and I can break through soon."

Although he felt a little heartache at spending 100000 merit points, he knew he could get them back in a few months.

This is the benefit of his preaching: the good deeds of his disciples are counted in Li Xiuyuan's 'Holy Buddha System'.

79, 69! 428. 77

At the same time, Xiaoqing and Fengheng were also very happy, as their training here was several times faster than outside.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "It's getting late, let's get some rest!"

These words, spoken in front of everyone, made the three women blush with embarrassment. They recalled how Li Xiuyuan had been disturbed by Fahai while he was with Bai Suzhen, and how he had been in a bad mood.

Later, Li Xiuyuan killed Fahai and spent the last few days searching for a blessed land. Now he finally has a safe place.

He missed the two of them very much, so he suppressed his emotions and spoke his truest thoughts.

Yeah!

Bai Suzhen exclaimed in surprise, "My lord, Qing'er and Aheng are both here!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiaoqing and Fengheng with embarrassment and shyness. She couldn't possibly dote on one of them all, so she felt embarrassed.

But Bai Suzhen was also embarrassed, after all, she had never experienced anything before, and it would be a bit awkward for her, Xiaoqing, and Feng Heng to be with Li Xiu together.

Seeing Bai Suzhen's troubled expression, Xiaoqing glared at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Who wants to rest with you! Ah Heng, let's go!"

As she spoke, she took Feng Heng's delicate hand and led her away quickly.
