Yi Qi San Yuan

Chapter 1172 Please Come Up the Mountain

The upper volume of the Lu Ban Book had been perfected through the efforts of countless generations of Lu Ban's descendants.

However, the final four lines seemed to have been intentionally left blank.

Jiang Qingxue could casually fill in four lines, but it would have no effect and would instead ruin this masterpiece.

It was as if the upper volume of the Lu Ban Book was not waiting for these four lines, but for a person.

This person would not only fill the gap of the four lines but also lead the folk sects to glory.

Yan Shouyi watched quietly, and Jiang Qingxue waited silently.

Suddenly, a wooden bird flew from the horizon. It was the wooden bird that Jiang Qingxue had placed above the Tianmen and which had later flown away after Yan Shouyi infused it with True Dragon Purple Qi.

The wooden bird did not disturb Yan Shouyi but landed on Jiang Qingxue's shoulder, as if whispering something in her ear.

After listening, Jiang Qingxue's expression slowly darkened.

She looked in the direction from which Yan Shouyi had come, then had to interrupt Yan Shouyi's meditation and ask:

"Shouyi, you didn't come alone?"

Yan Shouyi's thoughts were interrupted, and he reluctantly withdrew his gaze. He then remembered Li Genmiao.

"Yes, I brought someone with me... This person's identity is very special. He..."

Jiang Qingxue interrupted Yan Shouyi's explanation: "I know who he is. How about this, you go inside and meditate first, and I'll call that person over for a private chat."

"This..."

"Don't worry, I know him inside and out. He can't hurt me."

Despite his suspicion about Li Genmiao's purpose in coming to Tianchi, Yan Shouyi chose to believe his mother.

He memorized all the content of the upper volume of the Lu Ban Book and then walked into the small wooden house that Jiang Qingxue had built beside Tianchi.

The wooden house was simply furnished, with countless ancient books and scriptures placed on the floor and walls, all of which appeared to have been read countless times. Jiang Qingxue's past twenty years seemed to be imprinted on them.

This was a very suitable place for meditation.

Yan Shouyi sat on the meditation cushion. Coincidentally, the content of the upper volume of the Lu Ban Book was also carved on the wall of the wooden house. He stared at the four blank lines, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and fell into deep thought.

Outside the wooden house, Jiang Qingxue waved her hand and set up several restrictions around the house.

These formations and restrictions not only isolated sound but also had defensive effects, demonstrating Jiang Qingxue's seriousness.

She called the four of them, Tiezi, and asked them seriously: "Do you know who the person who came up the mountain with Shouyi is?"

Shanjia shook his head: "How could we possibly know... That person wasn't tall, he was thin, with a very pale complexion and an unpleasant voice, like a sickly person."

Shanpao added: "He had a strong killing aura, and I couldn't see through his lifespan."

Shanpao possessed the miraculous ability to see through a person's remaining lifespan. It even knew when Jiang Qingxue and Yan Shouyi would die, but it couldn't see through Li Genmiao.

Jiang Qingxue sighed and looked at Tiezi: "Tiezi, do you know who transformed you into a Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet?"

Tiezi's eyes widened. It hadn't expected this matter to be related to it.

It was strange, the requirements for refining a Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet were extremely strict. Some people dreamed of having such a body, so who would be bored enough to help a black bear spirit refine a Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet body?

But Tiezi had no memory of this. It only knew that the immortal sister had adopted it and taught it many skills.

Tiezi, known as the smartest in Changbai Mountain, could not come up with an answer at that moment and could only look at Jiang Qingxue with questioning eyes.

"It's the person you saw at the foot of the mountain."

Jiang Qingxue said with a sigh, "The person you saw at the foot of the mountain is actually my master. After I descended the mountain, he abandoned his body and possessed another person's body. Now he has returned, and he wants to reclaim everything that belongs to him."

Hearing that Li Genmiao was the immortal sister's master, the four rascals were all stunned.

Tiezi asked in confusion: "But what does this have to do with me?"

"My master is the Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet body, but he made arrangements back then and didn't dare to take risks himself. That's why he threw you into the hanging coffin to refine you into a Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet. Only after seeing you succeed did he dare to refine himself."

The question that had troubled Tiezi for countless years was finally answered.

The four rascals felt the pressure from the person at the foot of the mountain. Shanpao worriedly asked, "Immortal sister, will your master attack you?"

"If you ask me, let's just give him whatever he wants. There's no need to go against our master!" Shanjia advised.

"You don't understand the complexity of this."

Jiang Qingxue was very helpless. She had always hoped this day would not come, yet she had been waiting for this day.

Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her state and said to Tiezi: "You four go down the mountain and bring that person up."

"...Okay."

Tiezi nodded and led the way down the mountain.

With another wave of Jiang Qingxue's hand, the upper volume of the Lu Ban Book, suspended in the sky, turned into raindrops and fell back into Tianchi.

But beneath the calm surface of Tianchi, currents churned, as if something terrifying was stirring, ready to break free from its restraints and surface.

...

In front of Tianmen, Li Genmiao waited quietly.

Uncle Weng lowered his gaze, occasionally stealing glances at Li Genmiao's expression.

He was very afraid of the old ancestor. Although the old ancestor now had a different face and seemed more approachable, Uncle Weng would never forget how the old ancestor used to refine people into elixirs in Changbai Mountain.

Uncle Weng knew the old ancestor well. He knew that the old ancestor once had a huge human trafficking organization that spread throughout the world, and was particularly rampant in Xichuan.

They specialized in kidnapping children for the old ancestor and sending them to Changbai Mountain to supply him with elixirs.

Before the young lady arrived, Tianchi was a living hell. But after the young lady arrived, the old ancestor seemed to have devoted himself entirely to teaching the young lady and stopped doing such detestable things.

At this moment, the four rascals, Tiezi, came down the mountain.

Their expressions were slightly different from before. They no longer looked down on or excluded Li Genmiao, but instead showed a hint of fear.

Er Ya's reaction was the most obvious. She hid behind Tiezi, her body still trembling, and didn't even dare to make eye contact with Li Genmiao.

Li Genmiao, who was extremely shrewd, saw their reaction and knew that Jiang Qingxue had seen through his identity.

Li Genmiao stopped pretending. He no longer appeared so sickly but stood tall with an air of unquestionable authority in his brows.

"Im-Immortal sister, please, please, please, come up the mountain!"

Tiezi originally wanted to be tough, but when the words reached his mouth, he stuttered and became a stutterer.

It was one thing not to know the identity, but after knowing who this person was, Tiezi felt an immense pressure.

Li Genmiao nodded and moved forward, while Uncle Weng adopted a completely submissive demeanor, following behind Li Genmiao.
