Chapter 226 A Special Thank You Gift

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the white clouds were picturesque, and Li Zhi was riding on the clouds, traveling through the vibrant world.

He was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, holding a silver dragon whisk in his hand, and a purple jade hair crown on his head. His body was shrouded in a layer of fairy mist, which made Li Zhi look like an immortal.

"The wind, the horse gallops without dismounting. Looking back in surprise, it is three feet and three meters above the sky."

"Water, like the sea turning upside down and the river rolling up huge waves. It is rushing and surging, and thousands of horses are still fighting fiercely."

"The mountain pierces the blue sky, its tip still intact. When the sky is about to fall, it relies on it to hold it up."

"Lightning, thunder and fire, gods and demons avoid them. If you want to live forever, thunder and fire will roll three thousand times."

"In the clouds, immortals are above and people are below. Soaring into the clouds, a thousand miles can be covered in a flash."

"Fire, between flickering and fading, there are fragments. Tao and reason, there are gods and immortals in the flames."

……

In the big demon's lair, he unexpectedly got a disciple who was suspected to have the blood of the Ten Evils. Although he has not yet matured and been born, Li Zhi was so excited that he couldn't help chanting the sixteen-character order.

The sea of ​​clouds is rolling, and millions of pegasus are galloping on the Milky Way.

Green mountains appear, thunder and fire appear, gods and demons dance with weapons, and fairies make trouble in the world.

As Li Zhi chanted the sixteen-character order with great interest, all kinds of mysterious visions emerged among the sea of ​​clouds beneath his feet.

All the laws of heaven and earth seemed to come alive because of his chanting.

In the wilderness and among the mountains and forests, many powerful monsters saw this amazing sight and immediately informed their respective kings.

In the vast land of the central region of the Eastern Wilderness, there are many human forces and ancient Taoist traditions, but in fact the demon race has more heritage.

There are often vast wildernesses with no human habitation for millions of miles, but in fact, they are all inhabited by powerful demon tribes. Strictly speaking, there is no unowned land or uninhabited place in the Central Region.

It is only because the area of ​​human activities is relatively limited that those places where humans have never reached are called uninhabited areas.

"Master, you are in a very elegant mood. Why don't you come to my place to rest and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Suddenly, a powerful divine thought penetrated the clouds and condensed an old man in front of Li Zhi with white clouds, who bowed and greeted him.

Li Zhi turned his head and found the source of this divine thought.

In a valley a hundred miles away, in front of a wooden palace, two old men with white hair and beards were greeting him with smiles.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

Li Zhi stopped singing the order, shouted a Taoist name, and a moment later, he rode a cloud into the valley.

After entering the valley, the palace in the valley attracted Li Zhi's attention. Because there was a plaque hanging above the palace, with three ancient demon characters "Changsheng Palace" inscribed on it, which made people imagine.

There was a faint fluctuation of the aura of holy laws above the palace, which was obviously not an ordinary thing.

The mountains are home to tigers and leopards, and the fields are home to unicorns.

I really didn't expect that in this ordinary wilderness, I would encounter two demon kings who are truly at the king level.

The demonic energy on them was extremely thin, almost imperceptible, but instead had a special kind of spiritual charm, as if they were practicing the ancient scriptures of the human race in the bodies of demons.

The depth of his Taoism is admirable.

As if seeing the scrutiny and vigilance in Li Zhi's eyes, one of the old men said, "Master, please don't blame me. My old friend and I are practicing here. Suddenly, I saw that you were full of Taoist spirit and had a bit of immortal charm. I couldn't help but speak up and asked you to stay."

Then the two old men introduced themselves, one was Zhu Wude and the other was Mu Jiangli.

"I am Li Changshou, a poor Taoist priest. Nice to meet you two seniors." Li Zhi also formally saluted the two old demons.

Afterwards, the two old demons invited Li Zhi to drink tea in front of the Changsheng Palace.

The three of them were like enlightened people who met by chance in otherworldly places. They did not have a trace of anger, but were instead filled with a common yearning for the great Dao.

They talked about immortality, becoming immortal, attaining enlightenment, and the ways and principles between heaven and earth.

Half a day later, the three of them finished seven pots of tea. Li Zhi stood up to say goodbye. Zhu Wude sighed, "The Taoist longevity master is indeed very knowledgeable. My old friend and I have been in seclusion here for two thousand years, but we have gained less than what we had today."

"Senior Zhu, you are joking. It is a great honor for me to meet two seniors in this wilderness today and discuss philosophy with them." Li Zhi said very politely.

"Since Brother Changshou still has things to do, Lao Zhu and I will not keep you to accompany us two old men." Mu Jiangli also said with a smile.

"The mountains are high and the road is long. We will meet again later." After Li Zhi said this, he rode away on the cloud without hesitation.

Watching Li Zhi disappear on the skyline, Zhu Wude said, "This Taoist priest of longevity is indeed a genius. It is true that those demon kings in my Central Region were defeated by him."

Mu Jiangli asked, "Old Zhu, do you think he has guessed our identities?"

"What difference does it make whether you can guess it or not? Since he dares to come to you and me calmly, it means that he is afraid that you and I will take action." Zhu Wude said.

"I'm afraid no one among the younger generations of my Central Domain demon clan can compare with him." Mu Jiangli sighed.

"Yes, the human race is so favored by heaven. They are in the form of Tao from birth. Although there are many descendants in my demon race who have shed their beast form and are in human form since birth, they still have more or less congenital defects despite being in human form. The development prospects of the Tao body are not as broad as those of the human race." Zhu Wude said.

"Looking at the direction he came from, he seemed to have been to the ant nest. I wonder if he ran into that rough girl." Mu Jiangli said with a little curiosity.

"I guess we haven't met him, otherwise with his current strength, he probably wouldn't appear in front of us in such a perfect state. You know, that reckless girl hates outsiders going to her territory the most. I don't know how many juniors have suffered because of this rashness in the past." Zhu Wude shook his head.

"This life is like boiling oil in a raging fire. In this land of the Central Region, the only person who has the chance to become a descendant of the demon clan great saint, apart from that rough girl in the ant nest, is probably the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yao Yuekong."

"You and I have exhausted our potential. With the help of this change in the world, we may be able to become saints, but after becoming saints, we will definitely not be able to go any further. Now that we have been invited out of the Hall of Eternal Life by those little guys, we should think about how to use the last bit of energy for our demon race."

"Fortunately, that Taoist priest is not bloodthirsty, otherwise you and I would have to fight to the death."

……

Li Zhi didn't know that the two demon kings who seemed to have met by chance were actually waiting for him there specifically to test his attitude towards the demons in the Central Region.

If Li Zhi was the kind of Taoist who didn't care about the lives of monsters, hunted monsters for treasures, and killed monsters at will, the two old monsters would probably use thundering methods to fight him to the death.

The golden age has begun to emerge, the world is sliding towards turmoil at a speed visible to the naked eye, and various forces have already begun to act in secret.

Now that Li Zhi has encountered two old monsters at the king level, it is just the prelude to troubled times.

Regarding the perception and attitude towards troubled times, the ways in which independent cultivators and large forces cope are completely different.

In troubled times, independent cultivators dare to fight and kill, and strive to be the first, while the big forces have to consider the impact of all aspects.

For Li Zhi, there is no difference whether it is a chaotic time or a peaceful and prosperous time. He practices when he should practice and relaxes when he should relax.

But for those big forces, whenever a person like Li Zhi who is beyond their expectations suddenly appears, it will cause them to react violently.

After flying in the wilderness for several more days and crossing tens of millions of miles of mountains, rivers and land, Li Zhi finally arrived at the nearest big city, Wangkong Ancient City.

Wangkong Ancient City is one of the ten famous cities in the Central Region. It is prosperous, wealthy and bustling.

There are not only a large number of mortals in the city, but also many monks, and even many small and medium-sized sects have taken root here. Of course, the most famous inheritance is the crane clan among the demon clan, and their people live in Wangkong City.

The ancient city is very large in scale, and its tall city walls are like a mountain range, enclosing a sacred and pure land on the earth.

The most famous place in the city is not the residence of the Crane Clan, but a huge high platform called "Wangkongtai" located in the central area of ​​the ancient city.

It is also the origin of the ancient city’s name.

Since ancient times, more than one great emperor has visited this place and stood on the observatory to look up at the boundless starry sky.

It even gave rise to a festival, Sky Viewing Day.

When the Sky Observation Day comes, the starlight pours down from outside the domain like water, making the Sky Observation Deck exceptionally beautiful.

The magnificent view of the Sky Watching Platform attracts numerous foreign tourists every year who come to see this beautiful scenery.

After Li Zhi walked into Wangkong City, he stayed directly in an inn near Wangkong Terrace. Although there was still a long time before Wangkong Day, the inn was already full of tourists from all over.

Li Zhi was an extremely powerful person. After he released a trace of the aura of a powerful person, he was arranged by the innkeeper to stay in the top-notch guest room.

After all, powerful people usually don’t stay in inns, but are invited by the forces in the city to move in and practice in the Pure Land.

A powerful person like Li Zhi who works alone is extremely rare.

Standing in the guest room and opening the window, you can see the observatory in the distance.

The innkeeper introduced the Wangkong Terrace to Li Zhi. The stone of the Wangkong Terrace is very special. It draws in starlight at night and nourishes the entire ancient city, turning it into a first-class beautiful place.

As night fell and the sunset glowed, the entire platform was dotted with sparkling red light.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi walked out of the inn and climbed up to the observation deck with many other tourists. He looked up at the starry sky above his head, as if the entire universe was reflected in his eyes.

"It's really a great place to practice." Li Zhi exclaimed.

Standing on the stage and often looking up at the starry sky will make people forget the troubles of the world, make people realize their own insignificance, and give rise to infinite pride in their hearts.

Look at the vastness of the universe and feel the thickness of time.

Li Zhi suddenly felt that this was an excellent place to practice the Wheel Sea Vision.

But before he could wander in the void and comprehend the wonders of the universe and the stars, he suddenly heard a surprised voice shouting in his ear: "Benefactor, it is really you, benefactor. We finally found you."

Before Li Zhi could figure out the situation, he was surrounded by several middle-aged men and women.

If Li Zhi had not seen their true feelings and the lack of any hostility, he would have probably taken action to suppress them.

"You have found the wrong person. I don't know you." Li Zhi looked at those extremely excited people, his heart full of doubts.

"Master, you don't know us, but we know you. If you hadn't taken action, the revenge of our family and friends would probably never be avenged." A middle-aged monk with red eyes said to Li Zhi. Then, those people told him the reason why they called Li Zhi "benefactor".

It turned out that the news of him killing the ancient creatures had been spread, and the news of those ancient creatures kidnapping monks had also been investigated.

The cultivators who witnessed Li Zhi killing the ancient creatures that day spread what Li Zhi said when he killed the ancient creatures.

As a result, Li Zhi was regarded as a benefactor by the families and friends of the abducted monks.

After listening to their stories, Li Zhi always felt something was strange.

In fact, it’s not their fault for being so enthusiastic. It’s just that what Li Zhi said before he started fighting those ancient creatures was so consistent with his “heroic” character.

What made Li Zhi curious was that something that happened outside the Dark City had such an impact that it could reach the distant Wangkong City.

Then, Li Zhi enjoyed a fairy banquet at the warm invitation of those people.

After communicating with them, Li Zhi finally figured out the reason.

It turned out that one of the two powerful men who were captured was the son of a living fossil-level strongman in the Four Symbols Holy Land, who was highly expected.

After his son's death, the living fossil immediately walked out of the Four Symbols Holy Land and vowed to avenge his son.

Then he personally stepped forward, gathered a group of victims' families, and planned to ambush and kill those ancient creatures.

However, they didn't expect that before they could take any action, Li Zhi took action in advance and wiped out all those ancient creatures, indirectly avenging them.

In order to thank Li Zhi, the "benefactor", the living fossil of the Four Symbols Holy Land and other victims' families decided to thank him in person, and then they would wait in various ancient cities in the Central Region.

Even though two years had passed since the incident, they still hadn't given up on keeping an eye on Li Zhi.

According to them, it seemed that their sincerity moved the heavens, allowing them to wait in Wangkong City for the appearance of their "benefactor" Li Zhi.

After accepting their thanks, those people stopped bothering Li Zhi.

But the next morning, the living fossil of the Four Symbols Holy Land who had lost his beloved son came to Wangkong City with a gift of thanks.

In the inn, Li Zhi received the living fossil, and was stunned by the gift list he presented.

In a top-notch private room of the inn, four stunningly beautiful women who looked exactly the same stood in front of Li Zhi.

The living fossil from the Four Symbols Holy Land introduced them, "Master Li, they are the Four Symbols Goddesses specially trained by our Four Symbols Holy Land. To thank you for your great kindness, they will help me avenge my son. From now on, they are yours."

"Greetings, master." After the four stunning beauties introduced the living fossil, they immediately saluted Li.

"No, absolutely not. I am a monk, how can I accept such a gift?" Li Zhi quickly refused.

Giving people as gifts is somewhat challenging Li Zhi's bottom line.

The living fossil explained, "Master Li, you misunderstood. They are not furnace tripods, but real goddesses. To be honest, Master, in order to prepare a thank-you gift for you, I have considered many aspects and finally decided to let them serve by your side. For them, it is still a kind of high-level marriage."

The living fossil explained to Li Zhi that the Four Symbols Goddesses who were selected to enter the Four Symbols Holy Land were actually the future wives prepared by the Holy Land for the young geniuses in the sect.

This is to prevent the young genius that has been cultivated with great effort from being seduced away by people outside the sect using beauty traps.

In a word, the Four Symbols Goddesses are not cauldrons, but the future wives of the geniuses.

The four beauties in front of Li Zhi are particularly special.

Not only are they quadruplets, but they also practice an ancient secret method passed down from the Four Symbols Holy Land, which can assist others in their practice.

At the same time, their looks are also quite distinctive. Although they are quadruplets, they show four different ages. One looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, one looks eighteen or nineteen years old, one looks twenty-four or twenty-five, and one looks in his early thirties.

It is simply the entire process of a woman's transformation from youthful beauty to charming maturity.

Li Zhi looked at the appearance of the four beauties and couldn't help but be moved, but he quickly cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Don't be fooled by the beauty in front of you.

He has already practiced the physical training chapter of the Heavenly Tribulation Skill, and he must not lose his virginity before his skills have been perfected.

In the end, Li Zhi could only refuse again and again, saying that he could not accept this gift.

The living fossil said with a sad face: "Master Li, I have spent all my wealth to make them my people and let the holy land set them free. If you don't accept them, they will only be my children. You also know that I lost my son in my old age. In order to keep my bloodline from being cut off, I can only give birth to new flowers. Can you bear to watch them marry an old man like me?"

In order to make Li Zhi accept the four beauties, the living fossil actually said such words, which really opened Li Zhi's eyes.

The four beauties also showed a look of fear, and then said to Li Zhi in unison: "Master, please accept us. Even if you only want us to be your maids, we are willing."

"It is an honor for us sisters to follow the Taoist priest. It is not forced at all."

"Master, you are an unrivaled warrior with limitless achievements in the future. You deserve to have a maid by your side to take care of you. We sisters really want to serve you."

"Master, if you don't want us, we can only become casual cultivators. But once we sisters lose the protection of the holy land, we will definitely become playthings of other powerful people. Please have mercy on us, Master."

The four beauties were talking to each other, almost describing Li Zhi as an irresponsible and unfaithful man.

If they don't accept their sisters, they will immediately fall into hell.

Li Zhi was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He really didn't know how the Four Symbols Holy Land educated people.

And the living fossil also said: "Master, the four sisters actually practiced the same ancient scripture, which is second only to the ancient scripture inherited from our holy land. It's just that their qualifications are limited, and they practiced one chapter each. But if they join hands, they can set up a mobile Four Symbols battle formation that can withstand attacks from enemies several times their number. The Azure Dragon Kung Fu, White Tiger Kung Fu, Vermillion Bird Kung Fu, and Black Tortoise Kung Fu they practiced, although not the strongest ancient scripture in our Four Symbols Holy Land, are the best methods to assist Taoist couples in their practice. They also have a kind of telepathic magical power, and when they work together, they are much more powerful than the ordinary Four Symbols Goddesses who practice the Four Symbols Kung Fu, and they can definitely become Master's right-hand man."

After some extreme pulling, Li Zhi finally accepted the quadruplet sisters under the tearful plea of ​​the living fossil.

Seeing Li Zhi accept the four women, the living fossil of the Four Symbols Holy Land seemed to have fulfilled his wish.

Then he left satisfied.

But Li Zhi fell into deep thought, always feeling that something was not right.

After sending the four beauties away, Li Zhi released a Taoist deity, who quietly followed the living fossil of the Four Symbols Holy Land.

Soon, they arrived at a base of the Four Symbols Holy Land in Wangkong City.

Then he actually saw the Holy Lord of the Four Symbols Holy Land and seven or eight powerful supreme elders there.

"There is something fishy indeed." Li Zhixin thought.

Then he used his magical powers to sneak in quietly, intending to eavesdrop on what they would say.

"Uncle-master, has the Four Symbols Goddess been sent over?" asked the Holy Lord of the Four Symbols Holy Land.

"Holy Lord, rest assured. It seems that Taoist Li has cut off his ties with the secular world and become a monk to pursue Taoism, but in fact, he is a young man who cherishes women."

"Good, very good. Ever since the Holy Land discovered the four sisters, it has been secretly training them for sixty years. During this period, countless natural treasures have been used to elevate their cultivation to the Xiantai Secret Realm. Now it is finally time for them to make contributions to the Holy Land." The Four Symbols Saint Lord said with a little excitement.

"Holy Lord, are they really the legendary fertile physiques? Given their talents, it is really heartbreaking to give them away like this." asked the living fossil.

“Uncle-master, if we keep them in the holy land, the role they can play will be very limited. Only when they follow the peerless genius can their true power be brought into play. As for their fertility, there is absolutely no mistake. The sect has already investigated their ancestors for thirteen generations, and almost every generation of ancestors became pregnant during their first intercourse with a man.” said the Four Symbols Saint.

"Is the bloodline of Taoist Li really that powerful?" asked the living fossil.

"That Li Zhi, Taoist Li, is actually the Taoist Xiao Tianzun who was famous in the Central Region back then. He was also the Taoist longevity master who shined at the Peach Festival in Yaochi. Do you think his bloodline is ordinary?"

"How is this possible? His appearance and aura are completely different from those of Daoyi Xiao Tianzun back then."

"According to our investigation and calculations, it should be the saint of Qishi Mansion who personally rebuilt his foundation, which caused his appearance to change. Now those ancient creatures are like chickens in his hands, which shows that his bloodline is more powerful than before."

"If that's true, that would be great. If the Four Elephants Goddess can successfully borrow the seed this time, then our Four Elephants Holy Land will officially rise in the Golden Age and become an existence that is not weaker than those top holy lands."

After hearing the conversation between the living fossil and the Four Symbols Saint Lord, Li Zhi felt numb all over.

Is there such a cool operation in the Four Symbols Holy Land?
If their own disciples do not have good talents, they will train a group of beautiful disciples, and then borrow seeds from cultivators with special bloodlines or physiques everywhere, so as to give birth to offspring with powerful bloodlines.

It was so outrageous that Li Zhi didn't know how to evaluate what the Four Symbols Holy Land had done.

At the same time, the quadruplet sisters in the inn have begun to take on the responsibilities of Li Zhi's maids.

They personally cooked delicious meals for Li Zhi and even prepared a pot of spiritual wine specifically for him.

If Li Zhi didn't know the plan of the Four Symbols Holy Land, he would probably be in trouble.

Because the spiritual wine they mixed was actually the kind of wine that Taoist couples use to liven up the relationship.

After drinking the harmony wine, male and female cultivators will not be able to help but combine yin and yang, and can even directly enter the supreme realm of dual cultivation.

The harmonious wine is not a poison but a tonic, which is harmless to the body. However, Li Zhi cannot guarantee whether his efficacy will be ruined after drinking the harmonious wine.

If he had not read through the collection of books in the Qi Shi Mansion, he might not have discovered that the essence of the pot of spiritual wine was actually the legendary harmonious wine.

Looking at the four sisters and the delicious food served to them, Li Zhi sent the four sisters out directly.

"Master, please enjoy your meal. We sisters are waiting outside. If you need anything, just call us."

Watching the four sisters leave his room, Li Zhi secretly decided in his heart that he had to think of a way to get rid of the entanglement of these four sisters.

Kill them directly?
Of course not.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly thought of the supreme method "Shendu Jue" created by the Henren Emperor.

If he had the "Divine Art" in hand, these four beauties who wanted to push him down would not have any improper thoughts.

Finally, Li Zhi decided that the best strategy was to retreat.

It’s terrible, so terrible. Human hearts are so complicated.
