295-Qi Gazing Technique and Older Sister
Just as Lu Li had thought, the "Spiritual Jade Pot" could indeed contain spiritual energy.
Moreover, not only could it hold things, but the inspiration that flowed from the Kunlun Mirror into the jade pot instantly transformed into fine wine!
The intoxicating aroma of the wine instantly caused the sycamore trees in the courtyard to bloom.
Several flying swords also became restless, desperately poking their heads into the pot, eager to taste it.
"Don't worry, your turn will come in a bit."
Lu Li stopped them and went back inside.
Not only the flying sword, but the monkey "Dafa" couldn't resist either, and darted over in a flash.
Fortunately, Hou Shaoyi knew his pet's nature well and grabbed its tail to pull it back.
At this moment, everyone stared at the "Spiritual Jade Pot" in Lu Li's hand.
Lu Li nodded and said, "It's a rare occasion for us all to gather here today. I have a little inspiration to share with you all. Please compose your own wine cups."
After saying that, he came to Li Yuanzhong and made a gesture as if to pour wine.
"Thank you for your hospitality, young friend. This old Daoist will not stand on ceremony."
The host directly revealed the brilliant idea; there was no point in him hesitating any longer. Li Yuanzhong condensed his mind into a wine cup and received the brilliant idea from the unit.
Lu Li then went to Nan Jinping's place.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, the old man quickly condensed his inner energy into a wine cup and accepted a unit of wine in return.
Then there's Hua Ruoxi.
The old eunuch wasn't a bad person; he deserved a gift.
He was clearly flattered, but after exchanging a glance with Lu Li, everything was understood without words. He then condensed his energy into a cup and received the spiritual inspiration.
Hou Shaoyi was somewhat excited. Could it be that there was one for herself? That cup contained two years' worth of Lingji's reserves from her sect...
Just as he was pondering this, Lu Li came over to pour the wine.
"Oh, I can't accept this..."
While desperately holding down his monkey, Hou Shaoyi condensed his qi into a cup to catch the wine.
The fact that the old eunuch summoned him to rescue people, and that he was a top disciple of the Dragon Gate Sect, naturally made him worthy of a reward.
Next up was Xia Weiyin, this stunningly beautiful woman who was unusually shy, rubbing her smooth, bald head as she said:
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu. I'll give you my true energy once I advance to the Innate Realm!"
"Sister Xia, you're too kind."
Lu Li smiled and filled the pot to the brim, then filled the pots for his two women as well, and the spirit within the pot was gone.
Next, everyone raised their glasses together, looked at Lu Li, and asked him, as the host, to say a toast.
"May the barbarian invaders be wiped out, and may the rivers be clear and the seas be calm."
Lu Li said something and then downed his drink in one gulp.
This sentiment was shared by everyone present, so they drank heartily.
Hou Shaoyi shared half of his quick wit with the monkey, which calmed it down.
For a moment, the scene was completely tranquil as everyone was refining the spiritual energy.
Five minutes later, they gradually opened their eyes.
Li Yuanzhong stretched out his severed arm, and saw the flesh and blood continuously healing, with an arm growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Lu Li watched with envy; this was the limb regeneration of the Golden Body Realm, only accelerated countless times by the spiritual energy.
The others also reaped enormous benefits.
Xia Weiyin and Wan Qing's Internal Breath surged, seemingly on the verge of breaking through to the Martial Arts Realm.
Nan Jinping's wrinkles have noticeably decreased, and she has clearly regained some vitality!
Those who didn't show any significant changes have also solidified their experience and accumulated a lot of experience points.
Everyone was overjoyed and also impressed by Lu Li's generosity!
Such a precious thing as inspiration, given away so easily!
Li Yuanzhong, in particular, looked at Lu Li with undisguised admiration.
Exceptionally gifted, of excellent character, and blessed with abundant opportunities...
With this person by my side, even if I were to meet with misfortune in the future, the Dragon Gate Sect would still have a spark left behind.
Li Yuanzhong held Lu Li in extremely high regard, but as a sect leader after all, he harbored the idea of recruiting talented individuals into his own sect.
However, there are several difficulties in this matter. Lu Li's cultivation level is too high, and he is at the same Nascent Soul stage as himself.
Even if one were to take on disciples, the recipients might not necessarily be willing to become Daoist priests...
Wait a minute! You don't necessarily have to be fellow disciples!
Li Yuanzhong glanced at his silly, grinning female apprentice, and a sudden thought struck him—he devised a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, everyone marveled at the ingenuity of the idea, and their spirits were greatly lifted.
The previous frustration and indignation had long since vanished, and he felt that it was not impossible to wipe out the barbarians and achieve peace and tranquility.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Li also inquired about the search for spiritual opportunities on Blue Star:
"True Master Li, I wish to search for spiritual energy in the barbarian lands. Are there any methods of exploration or mining?"
"This matter... is extremely difficult."
Li Yuanzhong's eyes flashed, and he stroked his long beard, saying:
"The spiritual energy originates from the earth's core, and only the Tribulation Heavenly Monarch can directly absorb it. We can only rely on Spiritual Vein if we want it. But Spiritual Vein are extremely difficult to find!"
People often believe that famous mountains must have Spiritual Vein, but the Jiu Shan Sect is located on a small hill, while the renowned Huangshan Mountain does not.
After emphasizing the difficulties, Li Yuanzhong continued:
"Therefore, the first thing to solve is to determine the location of the Spiritual Vein. This requires the <Qi Gazing Technique>."
"The Qi Gazing Technique..." Lu Li asked, "Does your sect possess this technique?"
"Our Dragon Gate Sect is a branch of Daoism, so naturally we have it."
Li Yuanzhong said reservedly, "But you should also understand, young friend, that the method of exploring spiritual energy is definitely the core of the core and cannot be easily passed on to outsiders."
Hou Shaoyi hearing this, Hou Shaoyi immediately understood his master's plan and glanced at Xia Weiyin without making a sound.
Xia Weiyin was struggling to decide which side to take... when Lu Li asked, "Please enlighten me True Master Li!"
"That's simple..." Li Yuanzhong said with a smile, revealing his true intentions.
"Young friend Lu is no outsider, so we can strengthen our kinship through marriage. You and Weiyun are a perfect match, why not become Daoist partners?"
A few seconds of silence fell over the room. Xia Weiyin's face turned bright red, and she said urgently:
"Master, what are you saying! Lu Li and I are siblings; I'm twelve years older than him!"
"They're not even my biological children!" Hou Shaoyi immediately chimed in:
"And so what if he's 20 years older? True Master Lu has a lifespan of 200 years, and you have 150 years. Don't use the lifespan of mortals as a limit."
Xia Weiyin calmed her breathing and said, "I am a member of the Buddhist order."
These words only strengthened the resolve of the master and disciple from the Dragon Gate Sect.
Li Yuanzhong said, "You've had enough fun, that's enough. This matter is entirely up to me. Young friend Lu, what do you think?"
The pressure was mounting, and Lu Li was in a dilemma.
Although he disliked older women, Xia Weiyin was an exception.
Lu Li really wanted to grab those two watermelons, but looking at his two daughters, and Sister Xia with her cheeks flushed...
They all seem unwilling?
After a moment's thought, Lu Li said, "This matter is too sudden; perhaps we should postpone it for a while."
"It's certainly not something to rush into a lifelong commitment," Li Yuanzhong said, somewhat weary.
"Then we'll discuss that later. We'll take our leave for now and head to the National Martial Arts Association. Young friend, your Martial Arts foundation is somewhat shallow; let me, your disciple, stay here and help you solidify it."
As Li Yuanzhong and the others were about to leave, Lu Li got up and saw them to the door.
As Hou Shaoyi walked out the door, he waved goodbye, but after taking two steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Hey, where's Daihatsu?"
Turning around, he saw the monkey perched on Lu Li's shoulder, waving goodbye, clearly wanting to find a new patron.
"Damn it!"
Hou Shaoyi was so angry he was practically fuming. He rushed back, grabbed his spirit pet, gave an awkward laugh, and hurriedly left.
