A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 90 Storing Objects into the Void, Mustard Seed Divine Power

Zhang Wanyi, as the daughter of a high-ranking general, held a noble status.

Even when facing Princess Yi'an of the Qi Prince's Mansion, she was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

He possessed extraordinary martial arts talent. In addition to his family's martial arts tradition, he also joined the Imperial Execution Bureau to study the martial arts secrets in the royal armory.

In short, she deserves the title of "the pride of heaven".

However, she, who was usually aloof, was extremely respectful in front of the figure in front of her.

If you look closely, you can even see that her aloof demeanor is somewhat imitating the figure in blue in front of her...

Situ Qingyue turned around, her expression natural and composed.

In comparison, Zhang Wanyi's aloofness seemed somewhat forced...

"Have you met your cousin from Changning? Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

After Situ Qingyue walked to the main seat and sat down, she casually asked a question.

She picked up the half gold ingot, examined it again, and then casually put it down. She smiled, though the curve of her lips was very faint, but in that instant, it was like the first snow melting.

Although Zhang Wanyi was a woman, she was also somewhat lost in thought at this moment.

Her face was still somewhat pale. If it weren't for an unexpected turn of events, she should have lost the battle with Prince Huyan of the Donghu yesterday.

Even though she nearly killed Huyan Jun, who was embracing the eagle and weeping, with a single sword, she was still seriously injured.

As for that golden eagle… Zhang Wanyi suddenly recalled that last glance she exchanged with Li Weizhou…

It wasn't until Wen Situ Qingyue looked at her that Zhang Wanyi came to her senses and hurriedly bowed, saying, "My lord, Aning's third brother... is a person who knows how to live well and takes good care of Aning."

After a pause, she picked out a few things she found interesting and told Situ Qingyue about them.

He also included a personal anecdote, recounting the grudges between Li Weizhou and the Prince of Jin's mansion.

Situ Qingyue remained noncommittal, then took Zhang Wanyi's personal sword, looked at the three characters "Jade Maiden Sword" engraved on the scabbard, and smiled faintly again.

interesting.

However, after drawing out half of the sword and flicking it lightly with his finger, his eyebrows still lifted slightly.

She had never seen a weapon made of this material before.

He returned the sword and glanced at the counterfeit gold on the table, already knowing what was going on.

There's nothing new under the sun.

But she was still a little curious and asked, "Has he ever had any conflicts with the Chu Prince's Mansion? Has he ever mentioned the Chu Prince's Mansion?"

The Prince of Jin's Mansion is easy to understand, as are the Shangqing Palace and the Prince of Tiannan's Mansion, but the Prince of Chu's Mansion seems completely unrelated.
Zhang Wanyi was indeed unaware, but she remembered one thing: "Before Aning returned to the capital, Third Brother... Li Weizhou complained that the Chu Prince's Mansion was useless. They enjoyed high positions and fame, but pretended to be indifferent and do nothing, which made the Master and Aning and their apprentice work so hard. It was really hypocritical."

Situ Qingyue glanced at Zhang Wanyi again and said, "You have a good opinion of this person?"

Zhang Wanyi nodded to Situ Qingyue's gaze and said, "Third Brother is very good to Aning, and he also takes good care of me and Anzhi. He is a good older brother."

Situ Qingyue nodded slightly and said softly, "When the Huyan Army's golden eagle was burned, you were fighting him on the arena. Did you see this Li Weizhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanyi felt a little nervous for some reason, but she still nodded.

At that moment, defeat seemed inevitable; the difference in strength was too great. Looking around in bewilderment, he caught a glimpse of Li Weizhou's gaze, and a strange thing happened shortly afterward…

In front of someone like Situ Qingyue, any attempt to conceal anything is simply presumptuous.

Situ Qingyue nodded slightly and said, "It seems that he also orchestrated the killing of that golden eagle. Yi'an also said that the Li family is extremely united and protective of their own. Have you heard that he has dealings with the Donghu people?"

Almost everything is in a closed loop, except for this one link.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to say where all those ginseng and immortal herbs went.

Zhang Wanyi, equally intelligent, naturally understood the implications of those words. She immediately tensed up and said, "My lord, as far as I know, apart from this trip to the horse market, Li Weizhou has never left Qingzhou Prefecture." She then lowered her voice and said, "My lord, Li Weizhou's parents were on their way to find a renowned teacher for Aning when they met with misfortune and both died. Because of this, Aning has felt guilty for many years... and cares deeply about this cousin."

Situ Qingyue pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, once this matter is settled, I will make a trip to Qingzhou Prefecture. A few herbs are just a minor matter of mischief, but if they collude with the Donghu to murder the Great Qian Martial Saint, then the crime is unforgivable." She paused and smiled slightly, saying, "It may not necessarily be the Donghu. Those shamans who pretend to be gods and ghosts cannot make these treasures."

Could it be Yuanjian Mountain?
That sect has quite a deep foundation.

If it really is Yuanjian Mountain, as long as they hand over those treasures and explain how they forged them, they can be let off the hook.

Not only that, but they could also be recruited into the Imperial Punishment Bureau for important positions.

Because from ancient times to the present, it seems that no one has ever been able to achieve this.

Even unconventional talents are still talents.

As she was pondering, suddenly, Situ Qingyue's gaze sharpened, and her figure disappeared in front of the hall.

Zhang Wanyi was taken aback, but fortunately, she came from an extraordinary family, had considerable knowledge, and was already a master who had broken through five levels. She quickly regained her senses and turned to run away.

As soon as I stepped out of the hall, I saw Situ Qingyue standing on the platform, looking in the direction of the gate of the villa.

Looking over, Zhang Wanyi's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "A-Ning!!"

……

Li Weizhou ultimately underestimated the shrewdness of the people in this world. If he had known that there were two or three exceptionally intelligent women who could guess most of the situation just by giving him some unprecedented little trinkets, he would definitely have been more cautious.

However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

If someone with no ill intentions is overly curious, it's not impossible to reveal some supernatural techniques, such as the Five Ghosts Moving Technique? *cough*

Don't believe me? Take out a treasure and I'll make it disappear.

He didn't know how he learned it, but he just did.

If she harbors hostility, you can take her to find a celestial connection...

Now that he is full of martial virtue, if you really anger him, even Po Jiu will die!
……

The Li family's old house.

After the meal, the wives and children went to rest, but Ximei refused to leave her brother and sat beside him.

With Li Weizhou back, no one can control her anymore...

Li Delong asked, somewhat displeased, "You came all this way alone? Aren't you afraid of the danger?"

The eldest brother, Li Changping, didn't know how he viewed his third brother now, so he chuckled and said fairly, "Father, it's only when a villain meets Sanlang that things get dangerous."

Li Chang'an laughed heartily, "Brother's words make sense." Li Weizhou didn't mind and asked, "Has anything happened in Qingzhou City these past few days?"

Li Chang'an shook his head and laughed, "The horse market is just two hundred miles away. Half of the world's most skilled martial artists are there. Who would dare to act recklessly at this time?"

Li Delong suddenly coughed and said earnestly, "Third brother, the end of the year is approaching, and next month will be the twelfth lunar month. After the New Year, after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, you will be seventeen, no longer a child. If you want to start your own household, I won't force you. But no bachelor can start his own household on his own. How can you establish a household if you're not married?"

When your parents were alive, they arranged a marriage for you, and you corresponded frequently back then. Then something happened, and we don't know what became of them, so contact ceased. However, they never mentioned breaking off the engagement.

I plan to write a letter and have the escort agency take it to Mingzhou Prefecture to inquire whether the Golden Dart King still intends to marry into that family. If not, then we won't try to climb the social ladder and will find someone else. If he still does, we'll bring the girl here as soon as possible to get married.”

Li Weizhou felt there was no need to rush, saying, "It's still early. My eldest and second brothers are almost twenty when they got married."

Although he wasn't opposed to marriage, an arranged marriage was rather pointless. What if he opened the wrong box and got a beautiful, robust woman like his uncle? Then his life would be ruined...

But experience counts, and Li Delong's eyes reddened as he sighed, "I'm old. I can't control what happens to the fourth son anymore; he'll have his own destiny. Now I'm just hoping to see you get married and have children... Don't rush to have children, get married first! When I die, I'll have the face to face your parents."

His tone was pitiful, but in his heart he was cunning: "Young man, once you get married, you'll be working day and night. How can you not have a son?"
Li Weizhou didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Alright, let's wait for their reply first."

Mingzhou Prefecture is three thousand miles away from Qingzhou City. It would take more than half a year to travel back and forth, so there's no rush right now.

It's not that he doesn't crave women; having been a virgin twice in his life, how could he not be tempted?

However, he is currently burdened with many secrets, making marriage unsuitable at this time. Otherwise, he would have to keep everything hidden from everyone, which he doesn't like.

As for going to brothels to find women... he didn't like that either.

After you've finished, should you redeem yourself? It's not appropriate to redeem yourself and go home, but if you don't, won't you end up with countless like-minded people in the future?

So wait until he no longer needs an armory and no one can threaten him, then he can travel around with two or three... no, three or five... no, in short, the more the merrier.

Wouldn't it be nice?

It was almost time, so Li Weizhou got up to say goodbye. The Li family father and son tried to persuade him to stay several times, but to no avail, so they could only let Li Weizhou and his sister leave.

When Li Delong returned to his room, he saw that his wife was still awake, so he asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"

Madam Cao smiled and said, "Sanlang brought back a lot of good things, but he left them all here. He didn't take any back with him. We discussed it with the eldest son's family and the second son's family beforehand, and we decided to send some over." She paused and then added, "When Sanlang came back today, did you notice anything different?"

Li Delong asked, puzzled, "Different? What's different?"

Madam Cao rolled her eyes at him, saying, "You men are so careless. Can't you see that Sanlang is even more handsome than before? According to the second son's wife, Sanlang is so handsome he's practically glowing! She's probably hoping that the Mingzhou Prefecture has already found a better match so she can find Sanlang an even better one. Even the eldest son's wife says that Sanlang could be the Emperor's son-in-law."

Li Delong said in bewilderment, "It's so dark at night, are you women blinded by the oil lamp? I didn't notice... Well, he is indeed more handsome. No wonder I kept thinking about finding him a wife. Haha, anyway, it's not a bad thing. A good man of the Li family should be like this! Time for bed!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Cao sighed softly, looking at the "king" character on her husband's forehead, a faint sadness in her heart.

How come in such a large family, all handsome, she ended up with the ugliest one...

……

The carriage wheels crunched and creaked as they rolled over the snow.

Xi Mei kept talking about the interesting things that had happened these past few days. Xiao Dong practiced martial arts very hard, but he still couldn't beat Xiao Bei, and he cried by himself. Xiao Xi was the most greedy, and she ate all her milk candy early. After practicing martial arts, she could only watch everyone else eat happily. In order to get a bite to eat, she promised to pour everyone's foot bath water...

Li Weizhou laughed heartily, listening to his younger sister's rambling all the way. In the end, the little girl actually fell asleep in his arms.

Before dinner, Da Hu was sent to drive Xiao Dong and the others back to Shiqiao Street to sweep, clean, and light the stove. When Li Weizhou carried his younger sister home, the west wing was warm.

Xiao Dong looked at Li Weizhou and said, "Master, give the girl to me."

Li Weizhou nodded, not worried about whether he could carry Xiao Dong, since Xiao Dong was already taking Peiyuan Pills and practicing stance training.

He asked Xiao Dong in a low voice, "How is Xi Mei doing lately?"

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. The young lady is very happy every day. She just misses you very much."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "That's good. Get some rest." He paused and then added, "The worst thing in martial arts is to rush things. Most true masters in the world don't rush when they're opening their meridians and building their foundation. The more solid their foundation, the further they can go in the future. If you rush things, it's easy to go astray in the future. Relax, Ximei is a little worried about you."

Xiao Dong blushed deeply upon hearing this and said guiltily, "Master, I understand." He then glanced at the sleeping Xi Mei, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Li Weizhou smiled and returned to the east wing.

No one was allowed to enter his room without permission, not even Ximei. So after entering the room, he lit an oil lamp and carefully looked around. At least he didn't find any traces left behind... so that was fine.

Anyway, the sheets and duvet covers can be taken over there and put in the washing machine to wash later.

Returning to his familiar surroundings, Li Weizhou felt much more relaxed. He planned to take a shower and then reconnect the electrodes to continue practicing the Golden Bell Cover technique.

He has already mastered the second level, but he will not slack off at all and will continue to work hard.

Moved by his own self-discipline, Li Weizhou was very satisfied. As he took off his clothes, he casually beckoned over a wooden bucket, intending to fetch hot water and pour it in.

Now he is becoming increasingly adept at using his consciousness.

As long as consciousness can cover something, taking it from both sides becomes increasingly faster.

At first, you need to close your eyes, put it on the other side, and then bring it back.

Now, he's so skilled that he can bring things over in just a moment of distraction.

Of course, the necessary items must be in front of another version of yourself so that your consciousness can reach them and retrieve them instantly.

Moreover, these things cannot be fixed in place; for example, clothes hanging in a wardrobe are not allowed. They must be free of obstructions.

Besides the wooden tub, there were also pajamas, shower gel, shampoo...

Just as he was about to go get water to take a shower, Li Weizhou, who was all smiles, suddenly froze, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

After standing still for a moment, he slowly turned around and saw a woman in blue standing by the table near the window.

The woman in green had skin as white as snow, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, and an exquisite face. She exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura. However, at this moment, her eyes, which were like a deep lake, were filled with turbulent waves.

After staring at Li Weizhou for a long time, her naturally red lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered a word:
"To contain all things within the void, the divine power of a mustard seed!"

Li Weizhou stood there quietly, his little finger trembling slightly, hesitating whether to summon an RPG and give this uninvited woman, whose identity he didn't know, a shot...

……

P.S.: I'll revise this a bit more later. I'll post this whole part of the story after dropping my son off at kindergarten. The next chapter has some urban elements, and since they're all connected, it's unavoidable. Because the pig's blood is a huge foreshadowing element—the potential of Earth is far from being fully realized—it will be a recurring theme throughout the entire book, making it a two-world story.

In future urban content, I will try to start at the beginning so that everyone can see it at a glance, so I won't go into details.

Some readers are really amazing; they actually guessed some of the details, including the origin of the mirror. They're truly impressive.

In short, starting tomorrow, a long and exciting storyline will begin.
