The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

The sky is gloomy.

It seemed as if it was about to collapse.

The whole world can be seen just by looking up.

The elderly man called back the children who were playing outside, closed the door tremblingly, and looked up through the window.

The child asked his grandfather, is it going to rain?

Grandpa told the child, it’s not going to rain. I’ve lived for more than 70 years and have seen heavy rains, but the weather is not like this.

The child was curious and asked why it turned dark that day.

The old man pondered for a moment, racked his brains, and finally told his grandson that it was the gods who were angry and were fighting!

The division of the Lingtian Dynasty is actually inevitable.

Because he is too big!

An entire continent!

Such a large territory was certainly governable in the past when the spiritual energy was still there. But now that the spiritual energy has been exhausted and disasters are everywhere, the imperial court is beyond the reach of those mountainous areas and long rivers.

What lasts long must be divided.

However, this land was gradually covered by war.

But today there was a sudden ceasefire.

The entire Fuyao world... was covered by the gloomy sky and fell into absolute silence.

Maybe it’s not just the world...

"The gods in heaven are fighting."

Li Changxiao looked up at the sky and shouted with glee.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The sky became clear again.

Li Changxiao also walked into a town.

In fact, the mutton noodle soup he used up all his savings on treating Liu Han.

He had to get some money.

He walked into a porcelain shop and asked the owner if he would buy porcelain.

The shopkeeper was a short, thin man with narrow, shrewd eyes, giving people an extremely snobbish feeling.

He frowned, looked the visitor up and down, and said, "Go away, you stinky swordsman, you are nothing."

Li Changxiao scolded him for knowing nothing, then turned around and walked into the porcelain shop opposite.

The owner of this porcelain shop is a young man, and it seems that the shop has just opened recently.

Li Changxiao took a look at the porcelains in the shop. The quality was average. If a porcelain shop didn't have a piece of good quality porcelain to highlight the market, it wouldn't be able to do well.

Li Changxiao asked the shopkeeper if he would buy porcelain. The shopkeeper came over and replied that he would, but the market was not good at the moment, so the price would not be too high.

Li Changxiao nodded and took out a few pieces of porcelain that looked pretty good.

The two sides negotiated and finally reached a deal at a price of one tael of silver.

Li Changxiao is a person who can't keep money.

Once you have money, you have to spend it all before you are willing to earn more.

He found a restaurant and ordered some delicious dishes and good wine. After the meal, he had no money left for a room, so he walked out of the city and found a place with beautiful scenery to sleep.

He leaned against a willow tree by the stream, took a sip of strong liquor, hugged the Qingping sword, curled up, and fell asleep.

Don't think he is always like this, wandering around lazily and aimlessly.

In fact, he has a lot of things he wants to do.

He wanted to climb a mountain, meet some people, discuss Taoism with others, and learn more profound techniques...

Think a lot.

But at this moment, the world is big, and sleeping is the most important.

I do not know how long it has been.

When he slowly opened his eyes, his sight was quickly attracted by the stream in front of him.

A person floated over.

Li Changxiao jumped into the river, dragged the man ashore, turned him over, and found that he was a beautiful woman with picturesque eyes and eyebrows.

"He's a cultivator." Li Changxiao muttered.

One can tell at a glance that her skin is as white as ice and her bones have been bathed in spiritual energy for a long time.

Moreover, this woman gave people a faint sense of oppression between her eyebrows. It seemed that her cultivation should be quite high, and her personality was rather cold.

"But he seems injured."

"And the injury is not light."

The woman's face turned pale, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and she fell into a coma.

I think it must have been involved in a battle, fell into a river, and then rushed all the way here along the river.

"Cough cough." The woman frowned, and the moment she woke up, she immediately covered her mouth and started coughing violently.

The coughed-up black blood flowed out from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

"Are you okay?" Li Changxiao walked a few steps away and kept his distance.

The woman then noticed someone beside her. She immediately looked over, her pupils shrank, and she blurted out, "Li Changxiao?"

This time, it was Li Changxiao's turn to frown.

This woman knows me, but I don't know her.

The woman then laughed miserably, "I didn't expect it to be you."

Li Changxiao asked curiously: "Who are you? Were you the one who just fought in the sky?"

"I..." The woman hesitated to speak, thinking that it was just the fate of the world. She never expected that the person who could help her escape death would be this person.

Li Changxiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have we met before?"

The woman's face turned pale and she nodded slightly.

Li Changxiao frowned.

After a cultivator enters the foundation-building stage, he will have the ability to remember everything he sees. After entering the Nascent Soul stage, past memories can be called up at any time.

But he had never seen this woman.

There are only three possibilities.

The first possibility is that this woman had a much higher level of cultivation than himself, and she intentionally did not want him to remember her. In this case, the memory of her would be vague.

The second possibility is that he has really seen this woman, but she has disguised herself. However, a disguise that even she cannot see through will definitely consume spiritual energy, so this possibility is also relatively weak.

The third possibility is that the woman lied, but how did she know about herself? You know, she is not a genius and has no fame at all.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Changxiao was still very self-aware. "I dare not interfere in the affairs of powerful people like you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Wait!" the woman said hurriedly, with a complicated expression, "Only you can help me."

"Me?" Li Changxiao looked suspicious.

He always likes to treat people with kindness.

But... only for mortals.

In the spiritual world, he is a cold, selfish person who turns a blind eye to things that do not concern him.

I'm really scared of being cheated and my ability is limited.

Even though the woman looked very pitiful at this moment, he did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for her. He even felt a little regretful that he did not leave immediately.

The woman continued, "In return, I can tell you how to prolong your life, or anything else you want."

"If you are really worried, I can force out my life meridian and give it to you for safekeeping. You can decide whether I live or die."

The words have not yet fallen.

The woman's face turned even paler, and a red glazed jade floated out from her brow. This thing was her life's heart meridian. The cultivator promised to submit and hand over the power of life and death to others.

The woman controlled her own heart meridian and floated towards Li Changxiao, looking at him vaguely.

"Why do you have to do this?" Li Changxiao frowned and didn't answer. "I'm just a small cultivator and can't help you. Besides, do you trust me so much?"

“I said, only you can help me,” the woman repeated.

Her eyes were complicated. What she didn't tell Li Changxiao was that she not only knew Li Changxiao, but also had a close relationship with him.

Perhaps Li Changxiao knows his other identity-----Si Nian’s master Mu Qin.
