Xie Jingshan didn't believe it, and Lu Nanzhi was unable to figure out the situation for a while.
Jiang Yuebai handed the jade slip of the shooting technique obtained from Song Pei'er to Xie Jingshan and asked him to read it himself.
While Xie Jingshan was checking, Jiang Yuebai briefly explained Song Pei'er's matter.
Lu Nanzhi frowned and thought, "So you are suspecting that Shen Huaixi and this Song Pei'er are both members of the Sanyuan Sect. They both know the art of shooting dolls. Shen Huaixi suspects that you killed the original Lin Suiwan and is afraid that Lin Suiwan's affairs will be exposed, so he deliberately approaches you, tests you, and tries to make a shooting doll to control you?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "That's it."
Xie Jingshan fell into a chair, his face pale.
"I still can't believe it. He has never done anything to hurt me. He has saved me and helped me, so I..."
Lu Nanzhi was the same. "Shen Huaixi is a kind, respectful, and helpful person. He does his best to help his fellow disciples in any way he can... Anyway, let's wait for Jiuchuan Zhenjun to investigate this matter first. We should keep our troops in place and protect Xiaobai."
Jiang Yuebai said, "Not only me, you also have to protect yourselves. He is a medical practitioner, and medicine and poison are inseparable. You'd better prepare some antidote and anti-poison products, just in case."
Xie Jingshan said absentmindedly, "I am the only child of the Xie family. My ancestors have made many arrangements for me to prevent assassinations since I was young. Don't worry about me."
Lu Nanzhi also said: "I will be careful."
The atmosphere in the room was cold and silent. Jiang Yuebai exchanged the sword pill and three foundation-building pills for the "Lihuo Jue", the formless mask, a talisman and the introductory skills of the Xianzhi clan.
The three of them left Shanhai Tower and headed back to the sect, and Xie Jingshan said nothing.
After entering the mountain gate, Xie Jingshan went ahead. Jiang Yuebai was afraid that he would be impulsive, but Lu Nanzhi said that Xie Jingshan was a rough but meticulous person and told her not to worry.
After saying goodbye to Lu Nanzhi, Jiang Yuebai went to Wanfatang to find Li Jiuchuan with a heavy heart.
Before Tianku Peak was repaired, Li Jiuchuan still lived in Wanfa Hall.
In the small courtyard, the master and disciple sat under the corridor, and Jiang Yuebai told Li Jiuchuan what happened.
Li Jiuchuan placed the hot tea in front of Jiang Yuebai. "Shen Huaixi is in seclusion to break through to the eighth level of Qi training. I have tried Qing Nangzi and I also found an excuse to search Shen Huaixi's residence, but found nothing. And Lin Suiwan has disappeared without a trace."
Jiang Yuebai sighed, "Am I really wrong? Is it actually Lin Suiwan who has a problem? Just because I saw Shen Huaixi and Lin Suiwan have a close relationship, I suspect Shen Huaixi also has a problem?"
Li Jiuchuan comforted her, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I will definitely find out everything."
"Master, I actually hope that I am wrong, so that Xie Jingshan can feel better. He really treats Shen Huaixi as a brother."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Tell me what you are going to do next?" Li Jiuchuan asked.
Jiang Yuebai took a sip of tea and calmed down for a moment.
"Next, I will make pills, practice, and build my foundation."
Li Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Just these three things? You are not going to continue to learn the Dao of Formation, the Dao of Puppetry and other things?"
"In the past, I spent too much time learning too many things in order to become stronger, to repay my grandfather, to chase after my father... and also out of curiosity. Now I realize that I was too anxious. I was afraid of falling behind and being looked down upon, afraid of dragging down my grandfather, and afraid of losing the opportunity to study if I wasn't careful, just like when I was a child."
"Now I understand that I am having too many distracting thoughts and making things difficult for myself. In fact, it is enough for me to be stronger today than I was yesterday. For me now, improving my cultivation to form a golden elixir and breaking the limit of my life span is the most important thing. By then, I will have an extra 400 years of lifespan in the golden elixir realm. Am I still worried that I won't have time to learn what I want to learn?"
"From now on, I will only learn alchemy. I will let everything else take its course and not force anything. I will concentrate on practicing to improve my realm and build my foundation as soon as possible."
Li Jiuchuan's eyes were filled with admiration. "In fact, the reason why there are different schools of cultivation is that one cannot learn everything if one's spiritual roots are not complete. For example, wood and fire spiritual roots are suitable for alchemy, but without gold spiritual roots, one's weapon refining skills will be a little worse. But in ancient times, there was no such thing as spiritual roots, and ancient Qigong practitioners knew a little bit of everything."
"As the world of cultivation has developed to this day, the human race has multiplied and prospered, and the spiritual veins in the ancient bloodline that are close to the Great Dao have gradually become thinner, becoming the incomplete spiritual roots of today. In addition, the theoretical doctrines of each school have become more and more complete and complex, and it is difficult to master them all in a short period of time."
"You are blessed with five spiritual roots, and you can learn all the ways in the world, so I don't object to you learning more. As long as it doesn't delay the improvement of your cultivation level, you can learn anything you want. Even if you can't continue learning in the future, just give up decisively. One day, you can suddenly have a flash of inspiration and pick it up again to learn."
"I understand, Master. But before I put aside everything else and focus on cultivation and alchemy, can you clear up the problems I have accumulated before? Otherwise, I will always be worried about them and my heart will not be at peace."
Without further ado, Jiang Yuebai brought the booklet, which was even thicker than the last time, to the table.
Five teapots and five tea cans were laid out in a row on the table.
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, took out two bottles of fasting pills and placed them on the table.
Li Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows, and took out a pair of flying swords the size of his palm, and spread them out in a row on the table, shining brightly and eye-catching.
Jiang Yuebai was puzzled, "What is this for?"
"I couldn't teach you before, so I had to teach you anyway. Now that I'm very popular, I still have the face to ask someone to teach you at home."
Jiang Yuebai cupped his hands, "Master, this is a great move. I admire you!"
"Then let's get started. The first question is, is it possible to combine the Spirit Gathering Array and the Five Elements Replenishing Array into one, taking the gentleness and stability of the Spirit Gathering Array and the ability of the Five Elements Replenishing Array to transform the five elements?"
Li Jiuchuan pondered for a moment, picked up a flying sword, left a few words, and threw it out.
"Master, this is only the first question, and you are asking for help?"
Li Jiuchuan added water to boil tea. "I really haven't thought about your question. The Soul Gathering Array is used for daily practice, and the Five Elements Replenishing Array is used for fighting and recovery. The two are used in different scenarios. Why should they be combined?"
“Because I’m too lazy to farm my own land and I want the money.”
“… … ”
*
There is a large-scale construction going on on Tianku Peak, and flying swords are flying in the Wanfa Hall.
The number of people coming in and out of the library suddenly increased these days, and among them, several Jindan Zhenren came every day.
Lingjun Zhenren, who was a master of the Inner Sect's formation art, was invited to visit Li Jiuchuan. He went with great joy but returned with no tears to cry.
He plunged into the library and read books with the disciples who were practicing Qigong and building their foundation.
Not long after, Master Guquan, who was proficient in water alchemy from the inner sect, also went straight to Cangshuyuan from Wanfa Hall and said that he felt he had learned a fake water alchemy method.
The various Jindan Zhenren were afraid of seeing Li Jiuchuan's flying sword for delivering letters. They looked fine when they left, but looked as pale as death when they came back.
Not only the Jindan Zhenren, but also the inner sect disciples who were practicing Qi and building foundation were in great misery.
It was only because Master Lingjun assigned his disciples a course to study the Spirit Gathering Array and the Five Elements Replenishing Array that he finally solved the problem and received a thank-you gift from Master Jiuchuan, feeling refreshed!
Other real people followed suit, and the entire sect was filled with weeping and wailing, creating an unprecedented academic atmosphere.
When Wen Miao found out, she gloated and applauded.
They said that they only practiced martial arts but not the spiritual knowledge, so they deserved the torture!
Half a month later, Jiang Yuebai closed the last page, suppressed the new problems that surfaced as the previous ones were solved, told himself not to be anxious, closed his eyes and comprehended the various gains, emitting a kind of aura of extraordinary wisdom.
Li Jiuchuan rubbed his dark eyes, pushed a sign in front of Jiang Yuebai, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"This is the Wanfa Hall token that the sect master promised to give you. In the next few days, you will study on your own in Wanfa Hall. I... need to be quiet for two days."
Jiang Yuebai put away the token, took out a new jade slip and wrote down the next line.
[Noon Horse, September 9th, Double Ninth Festival]
[By this time next year at the latest, I, Jiang Yuebai, will achieve a flawless foundation building and break the Tianyan Sect's record for the fastest and strongest foundation building! ]
I have something to do in the morning, so the update may be late at noon...
