Li Shuidao left the Ancestral Master Hall with a gloomy look.
I don't know that elder Li Shuidao, but he guards the Five Poison Sect's supreme secret code "Five Poison Sacred Code". Needless to say, his strength has probably reached the third level.
Even if a second-level monk breaks out in a battle here, he will be pushed to the forefront and attract siege from the four major families.
Third-level monks cannot walk sideways in the Five Poison Sect.
Li Shuidao went to the Purple Poison Forest with a soft spot. He still had to ask his father-in-law to come forward in this matter.
Before meeting his father-in-law, Li Shuidao once again stepped into Lan Huaying's residence.
There is a light fragrance lingering in the house, which complements Lan Huaying's graceful temperament.
"Huaying, I want to take a look at your identity jade medal again." Li Shuidao's voice was low, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Lan Huaying was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and took out an identity jade token as gentle as jade from his arms. The jade plaque is engraved with the words "Lan Huaying", which exudes a cool and noble atmosphere.
Li Shuidao took the jade plaque and gently rubbed it with his fingers, carefully feeling every texture of the jade plaque. His face became more and more gloomy. Compared with the jade token of his identity in the other hand, he felt an obvious difference. It was a difference in material, very subtle but obvious.
"Hua Ying, our status jade tags are different." Li Shuidao took out his own jade tag with "Blue Shuidao" engraved on it.
Lan Huaying smiled slightly: "This jade medal does represent our cultivation and status. I am a second-level monk, and you have been promoted to the third level. The pattern and size are different."
Li Shuidao smiled slightly and didn't explain much. He handed the jade plaque back to Lan Huaying.
In a mysterious misty valley, the energy of heaven and earth dances in the air like a ribbon, constantly changing.
At this time, a figure slowly emerged, it was Lan Zhiyuan. He ended his retreat and walked out of his virtual realm.
In this valley, the mist is shrouded like a natural barrier. These are not ordinary fogs, but formed by the power of the formation, specifically to protect the Naxu Realm monks in seclusion. For them, safety when entering and leaving the virtual realm is very important, otherwise once they are attacked, even if they are highly cultivated, they will not be able to escape.
As soon as Lan Zhiyuan walked out of the fog-shrouded area, he saw Li Shuidao and Lan Huaying waiting. Lan Huaying immediately stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Dad, you are finally out of seclusion. Shuidao has gathered up half a million meritorious deeds, but the elders of the Ancestral Master Hall still refuse to let him read the "Five Poisons Sacred Scripture". What are you talking about? He has to wait in line.”
After hearing this, Lan Zhiyuan had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Is there such a thing? I'll go find out."
Li Shuidao hurriedly thanked him: "Father-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lan Zhiyuan acted matter-of-factly and said, "That's right. You are my son-in-law, so naturally I have to take care of this matter."
As soon as Lan Zhiyuan went out to inquire, there was no news.
"Hua Ying, why hasn't your father replied yet? You are more familiar with the Lan family. Can you go find out about him?" Li Shuidao urged his wife.
Lan Huaying nodded, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the clouds. Li Shuidao watched her go away.
Half a day later, Lan Huaying reappeared in front of Li Shuidao, her face looking a little ugly. Li Shuidao hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Huaying, you are back. Have you heard any news?"
Lan Huaying took a deep breath and replied in disbelief: "Father...he went into seclusion to practice."
Hearing this, Li Shuidao did not speak, but laughed, but his smile was somewhat meaningful.
"Father, why didn't he even reply and just went to retreat? This is so strange." Lan Huaying said with a frown.
"I understand, you don't need to ask anymore." Li Shuidao turned into a ray of light and left the Purple Poison Forest.
…
Three days later.
Tianchifang.
A secret side room behind the main hall.
The Lee family.
The two people with the highest cultivation level met.
One is Li Tianjue and the other is Li Shuidao.
What's interesting is that both of them believe that Tianchifang is completely controlled by them.
Li Tianjue took off his iron mask, revealing a face with deep features and piercing eyes.
"I've been separated for three days, and you should look at each other with admiration." He sighed softly, "Back then, I gave you a deep-sea spirit bead and twelve high-grade spirit stones. It seems that it was not in vain."
There was a hint of admiration and surprise in his words, as if he was re-examining this former junior. Nowadays, Li Tianjue is no longer the immature boy, but has advanced to the realm of Naxu. Such cultivation, such age, and such speed of progress are amazing and embarrassing.
"It's all thanks to the ancestors." Li Shuidao replied humbly.
"You and I have similar cultivation levels and are of the same bloodline. Why should we be so arrogant?" Li Tianjue said with a smile, "Immortal cultivators have a long lifespan. Between generations, if our cultivation levels are in the same realm and we are not of direct bloodline, we can be brothers. , I should call you Brother Waterway."
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "What Brother Tian Jue said is true."
"Tell me...you specifically asked Shui Hong to come find me. What do you mean?" Li Tianjue asked.
"I have encountered some troubles recently. As the saying goes, bystanders know better. I would like to ask Brother Tian Jue for advice." Li Shuidao frowned slightly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"Oh? What's the trouble?" Li Tianjue asked curiously.
Li Shuidao truthfully told about his embarrassment that he could not watch the "Five Poisons Scripture" despite paying half a million merit points.
"... To say that the Lan family is stingy is not to say that they are stingy. During the clan ceremony, they gave me a magic weapon flying sword. Although it is not a top magic weapon, it is definitely worth a lot of money. But But they refused to let me read the "Five Poisons Sacred Scripture" and didn't even bother to find an excuse. I don't know why." Li Shuidao said with a solemn face.
"Hmph! It's just a magic weapon. As far as Lan is concerned, what's the difference between it and a fire stick?" Li Tianjue said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Then why didn't they let me read the "Five Poisons Sacred Book"?" Li Shuidao asked with a frown.
Li Tianjue was silent for a moment, and then said in a cold tone: "I gave you the magic weapon to protect yourself. I didn't let you read the holy scriptures because I was afraid that you would break through. With the talent you have shown, even if you only touch the "Five Poison Saints" Even one scale and a half of claws from "The Code" may break through to the fourth level, and if you really cultivate to become the True Monarch without Form, then how can they harvest you?"
Li Shuidao's eyes flashed with shock: "Harvest?"
"You thought that by joining the Lan family, you would be protected by them, but you didn't know that you were already in a trap. Brother Shuidao, you fell into a conspiracy. You have already lost this game. You have run out of energy and there is nothing you can do to save yourself." Li Tianjue shook his head with a sigh on his face.
