Chapter 474: Blood of the Phoenix, the Four Saints Gathered!
There was a deep pool at the bottom of the cliff. Li Daoxuan placed his senior sister on a stone beside the pool. Seeing her looking at her reflection in the water and tidying up her messy hair and dress, he couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough, women always focus on their appearance first.
After finishing her tidying up, Taizhen regained her free and calm appearance. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her slender and white calves. Her delicate lotus feet stepped in the clear water, like a dragonfly, causing ripples.
It is truly a scene of jade-colored waves, a crescent moon, and precious light lingering on the surface, which is extremely beautiful.
The morning light, like the morning glow, poured down on Taizhen's jade-like face, making her cloud-like black hair even more gorgeous.
"Master Li, I actually know why you suspect that I am your senior sister, because I have a very similar temperament to her, right?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "My Senior Sister Taizhen is extremely beautiful and in my heart she is like a goddess. If others want to imitate her temperament, they can only be imitating ugly women."
Praise, praise as much as you can!
Li Daoxuan was not stingy with his praise. After all, if he praised his senior sister enough, she would be more likely to agree to his request later.
There is still one type of blood of the Four Saints missing. The world is so big and there is no news about it. Li Daoxuan can only place his hope on his senior sister who has great magical powers.
When Taizhen heard Li Daoxuan's praise, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she said, "In your heart, is the Qingyi Lady more beautiful, or is your senior sister more beautiful?"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that when Chang'an was hit by the flood, a goddess named Xiaoxiang came. She was also the confidante of Master Li. Of these three, who do you think is more beautiful?"
Li Daoxuan's expression froze, and he answered without much hesitation: "The Queen and Ziyu are both stunningly beautiful, but in my heart, Senior Sister is still the most beautiful!"
Li Daoxuan has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run. For this kind of question, naturally he would say whoever is in front is prettier. If both are there, he would say that each has its merits.
Tai Zhen was very satisfied when she heard this. She nodded and said, "In fact, your sister and I have a very special relationship. You should have heard of the mediation of destiny, which ranks first among the thirty-six great magical powers of Taoism."
"Of course. I've heard of the legendary method used by Nuwa to create humans."
Taizhen smiled and said, "Your senior sister has practiced this method before."
Li Daoxuan quickly asked, "Did Senior Sister succeed?"
You should know that the founder of Louguan Taoism had been meditating for a hundred years but failed to achieve success. He only created the techniques of cutting the sky and repairing the sky. When the two techniques were combined, they could only barely exert a power similar to that of mediating nature. It was a low-end copycat version.
Taizhen pointed at herself and said, "I am the result of her practice."
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and said: "Miss Zhuge, you mean that you were created by my senior sister when she was practicing mediation of fate..."
Taizhen nodded, feeling secretly pleased with the excuse she had made up.
"Yes, I am not a creature born of nature, but was created by her with magical powers. Therefore, my temperament is similar to hers, and our relationship is unique."
Li Daoxuan felt amused. His senior sister could even make up such an excuse to get away with it.
If he had not confirmed through the Dragon Roar Sword Box that Zhuge Qing was his senior sister, he would probably have been deceived.
"Actually, your senior sister is a good person and was very nice to me. Even though she made me look a little ugly, I don't blame her."
"By the way, she has actually been paying attention to you silently, and even gave you a sword box."
Hearing the word "sword box", Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Fairy Taizhen knew that you were in urgent need of something, so she traveled all over the world and put in countless efforts to finally find that treasure. However, she had something else to do and couldn't return, so she used her magic to send that thing to me and asked me to give it to you personally."
As she spoke, Taizhen took out a small jade bottle from her bosom and pulled out the cork slightly.
Suddenly, a heat wave rolled up, and the surrounding water droplets evaporated quickly. A red-gold flame seemed to be burning in front of Li Daoxuan's eyes, and in the flame, the shape of a divine bird was faintly visible.
The feathers are gorgeous and shining, the color is like brocade, elegant and noble, and auspicious and unparalleled!
Li Daoxuan's pupils condensed, his heart was burning, and he asked, "Is this... the blood of the phoenix?"
The phoenix is an ancient auspicious sign, a naturally born divine bird, possessing extremely powerful fire powers. The nirvana fire it possesses is not only incredibly powerful, but can also bring the dead back to life, making life and death one, and its creation infinite.
The last of the four sacred bloods has finally been found!
Li Daoxuan was excited. It turned out that his previous flattery was not in vain. It was proved that his senior sister was also fooled by him.
Seeing the excitement in Li Daoxuan's eyes, Taizhen smiled slightly, closed the bottle again, and put it back in her arms.
"Master Li, it seems that this drop of phoenix blood is very much to your liking."
Li Daoxuan coughed and said, "Miss Zhuge, didn't my senior sister ask you to give it to me?"
"That's right, but Fairy Taizhen has something else to say."
"What?"
"She said that although you are her biological junior apprentice, this drop of phoenix blood is too precious and she cannot let you take it away for nothing unless you promise her one thing."
"What's up?"
Li Daoxuan did not agree immediately. Who knew what ridiculous conditions this eccentric senior sister would propose?
Taizhen smiled and said, "She didn't tell me. She just said that the secret cannot be revealed. When the time comes, she will let you know."
After a pause, she added, "But don't worry, she said that it would not be against morality, nor would it be so difficult that you could not complete it. In fact, it would be just a piece of cake for you."
Hearing her say this, Li Daoxuan naturally no longer had any concerns and nodded, "Okay, I agree."
Taizhen stretched out her palm and said with a smile: "A gentleman's word is as good as his."
Li Daoxuan walked forward, patted her white and slender jade hand gently, and said, "It's hard to catch up with her."
Taizhen smiled sweetly, then handed the small jade bottle in her arms to Li Daoxuan. She neither asked him to sign a document nor to swear an oath. With just a verbal promise, she handed him the priceless phoenix blood.
Crisp, hearty and generous.
Li Daoxuan held the small jade bottle, feeling the scorching flame contained within it, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
Wuzhiqi's blood belongs to water, Fenghuang's blood belongs to fire, Li Daoxuan's blood belongs to wood, and Xuanzang's blood belongs to gold.
At this point, the blood of the Four Saints has all been collected. The next step is to arrange the Four Saints Formation, and then prepare to break through the Yangshen Realm according to the Queen's plan!
And once he breaks through the Yang God realm, he will not only be able to control the Xuanming True Water, but also activate the Fantian Seal. In terms of fighting, I am afraid that he will not be able to find many rivals in the world.
Invincible under Yangshen?
He wants to be invincible in the realm of Yang Shen!
Gu...
Someone's stomach made a sound.
Taizhen rubbed her flat belly and said with a smile, "I'm hungry. Calculating the time, Chacha should be back to cook. Let's go back quickly."
"good."
Li Daoxuan was just about to make hand gestures and chant an incantation when a fair, jade-like hand reached out to him, with slender fingers and skin as white as cream.
There was a hint of anger in Taizhen's voice.
"What are you looking at? Take me away from the bottom of the cliff. I am not as powerful as you. Do you want me to climb this cliff barefoot?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I will respectfully obey your command."
He held his senior sister's hand, feeling the softness and smoothness of her palm, and suddenly he began to understand the fun of this role-playing game.
…
White clouds float in the air, moving randomly east and west.
Li Daoxuan did not fly very fast. With his beautiful woman by his side, he used the clouds as his boat and the sky as his sea, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
The two of them sat on the white clouds, chatting about poetry, songs, vernacular novels, and they got along very well.
Li Daoxuan has the memory of later generations, which is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of countless giants. Even the extremely intelligent Taizhen is far inferior to him in this respect. Her eyes frequently light up with surprise and she exclaims over and over again.
I just feel that it is a waste of talent for my junior fellow disciple to choose to practice Taoism...
Could it be that in addition to the inheritance of Yang Jian and Lu Dongbin, he also has the inheritance of Wenquxing?
The auspicious clouds slowly descended, and the two of them landed in the quiet thatched cottage.
Taizhen let go of her hand and went to her room. She saw that the hair on the bed had indeed disappeared and she smiled slightly.
"Cha Cha should be back soon. If you're not in a hurry, Brother Li, why don't you have a quick meal here before going back? I just so happen to have a lot of creative questions I want to ask you."
Li Daoxuan did not refuse and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."
There is still one thing he has not resolved, which is the book "The Tale of Yagyu". He believes that his senior sister is definitely not the mastermind behind this, but someone is using the stories written by his senior sister to secretly absorb Yang energy and bring chaos to the world!
Where did the yang energy that was sucked away go? And what was its use?
If this is not made clear, it may lead to very serious consequences in the future.
Not long after, Cha Cha came back riding on the tigress Qiangwei, with a basket in her hand full of colorful and bright mushrooms.
Li Daoxuan's face turned dark. This kind of mushroom... are you sure it's not poisonous?
Cha Cha hummed a cheerful song, jumped off Qiangwei's back, and was about to walk into the yard with her short legs, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped as she thought of something.
Under Li Daoxuan's puzzled gaze, Cha Cha put down the basket of mushrooms, then lay on the ground and crawled in like a worm.
"Master, this time I didn't take the first step."
After entering the yard, she stood up and smiled triumphantly, as if she was secretly proud of herself for being able to think of such a genius idea, and she didn't care at all about the dust on her body.
Taizhen turned around silently, her face slightly red, and she felt like digging her toes into the ground.
How embarrassing...
Seeing this scene, Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled. He walked over, squatted down, and gently patted the dust off Cha Cha's body. Although his little nephew was a little silly, he was still quite cute.
Cha Cha looked at her uncle, smiled sweetly, and spoke in a clear voice.
"Thank you, uncle. I'll give you something!"
With that, she ran happily into the house.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh, what a good child, he even knew to give me a gift.
The next moment, Cha Cha ran out holding a pair of moon-white silk socks and placed them in front of Li Daoxuan.
"Uncle, this is for you. Master always throws things around and likes to go barefoot, so he doesn't wear much..."
Li Daoxuan immediately shook his head and said, "What do I need this for?"
"But this morning, I clearly saw that you really liked Master's socks, and you even reached out to take them secretly. When Chacha saw you, you were very nervous - ugh!"
Li Daoxuan's face suddenly turned red. He quickly reached out to cover Cha Cha's mouth and glared at her fiercely.
Cha Cha looked very innocent and aggrieved, staring at him with her big eyes.
"puff!"
When Taizhen saw this scene, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
She glanced at her bare feet with her beautiful eyes and said teasingly, "So Master Li likes my feet. In fact, if it was Brother Li..."
"I didn't, it was all a misunderstanding!"
Li Daoxuan hurriedly explained. At this moment, he felt that his senior sister no longer had any of the majesty and aura of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master. She was simply an enchanting fox demon.
Li Daoxuan pinched Chacha's slightly chubby face hard.
This little nephew is so unlovable!
…
Half an hour later.
Li Daoxuan, Taizhen and Chacha sat together around the stone table in the yard and had a mushroom feast accompanied by the fragrance of flowers.
There were only two dishes, one was boiled mushrooms and the other was fried mushrooms, both tasted delicious.
Li Daoxuan was eating poisonous mushrooms, thinking that this was a delicacy that only those who practice Taoism could enjoy. If a mortal with no magical power ate this poisonous mushroom, he would at best have hallucinations and become crazy, or at worst die!
Among the three, Cha Cha ate the most happily. She ate so voraciously that the little bun on her head was almost shaken apart. Finally, she gulped down all the poisonous mushroom soup, and her little belly bulged out.
"Is it really okay for her to eat like this?"
Li Daoxuan was a little worried and asked Taizhen in a low voice.
Cha Cha's cultivation level should not be high, at most not exceeding the middle stage of fasting. Wouldn't something bad happen if she eats and drinks so much?
Taizhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."
Li Daoxuan: “…”
After a while, the poisonous mushrooms began to take effect. Cha Cha's face turned red and her eyes were blurred. She laughed and ran around among the flowers, as if she thought she was a butterfly.
Soon, she thought of herself as a bug again, crawling on the ground, and slowly crawled to the dozing Rose.
"Roasted lamb, so fragrant..."
She opened her mouth and bit the tigress on her butt.
…
Taizhen had no restrictions on Chacha's actions and let her do whatever she wanted.
She glanced at Li Daoxuan and smiled faintly.
"Master Li has always been a person who never comes to visit without a reason. This time, besides suspecting that I am Fairy Taizhen, you must have other reasons, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed until now."
After saying this, she seemed to be sitting somewhat uncomfortably. She lifted her long skirt in an unladylike manner, bent her knees and sat on the grass, leaning against the flowers, her long jet-black hair fluttering gently in the breeze.
Under the snow-white floor-length skirt, a pair of exquisite light green embroidered shoes are faintly visible under the hem, like a flash of inspiration from a painter, the finishing touch.
After hearing Cha Cha's innocent words, although she teased Li Daoxuan, she actually quietly put on embroidered shoes and silk stockings to cover her slender feet.
Li Daoxuan took out the "Legend of the Yagyu" which had the ability to absorb Yang energy and handed it to her with a serious look on his face.
"Miss Zhuge, is this book written by you?"
Taizhen quickly flipped through it, and when she saw the text about recruiting a son-in-law and the pictures of seven beauties at the back, her eyes flickered slightly.
