Duozhi Mountain is located on the edge of the Human Realm, and it would take nearly a day to reach Tianmian Palace with the fastest sword control.

The next morning, Tianmian Palace was still in a calm state before the storm.

At dawn, there was a knock on the door outside Li Fenglan's residence. The person standing outside the door was Shi Zunling, who had just left the gate not long ago.

With the gradual fusion of heart and soul, Li Fenglan's originally abolished spiritual root is slowly recovering.

He knew that Lingbuyi couldn't hide the changes in himself, so he acted preemptively before his master found out.

Li Fenglan pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said that in the past few years when Master retreated, she never gave up cultivation for a day. The originally broken spiritual vein now showed a little sign of healing.

Ling Pauses for a moment, saying that he will definitely try his best to help Li Fenglan recover.

At that time, Li Fenglan thought that Ling Buyan was just a formality, after all, in the memory of the original owner, Ling Buyan had always been a pet to him.

However the reality is...

At the very first hour of the day, Ling Buyan decocted the elixir and stood at Li Fenglan's door.

Seeing the bowl of dark brown liquid in his master's hand, Li Fenglan's heart instantly became half cold.

Master, are you serious?

In his previous life, Li Fuyue hadn't even taken a sip of the medicine, and when he opened the door and smelled the bitter taste rushing straight to his forehead, he instinctively took a big step back.

"Master... this is?"

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease." After saying this, Ling Buyan put the medicine bowl on the table and looked at his apprentice with a smile.

Li Fenglan inexplicably felt that his master's smile had murderous intent.

Smelling the smell of medicine, Cheng Huang, who was lying on the ground sleeping, wrinkled his nose, and then rolled towards the window.

"Why, do you find it bitter?" Seeing Li Fenglan not moving for a long time, Ling Buyi suddenly asked, "Shall I get you some candied fruit?"

Candied fruit?

No, no, those things are eaten by children. In my last life, I was at least a great immortal in the cultivation world, so how could I be frightened by a bowl of medicine!

"Of course not." Li Fenglan took a deep breath and picked up the medicine bowl.

Before Ling Buyi could react, he closed his eyes and stuffed the bowl of elixir into his stomach.

Li Fenglan's movements were so fast and unrestrained that even his master was stunned.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Fenglan drank too eagerly. After he swallowed the medicine, the bitter taste in his throat was still hard to ignore.

At this moment, Ling Buyan suddenly stood up and patted him on the back, conjuring an oiled paper bag out of nowhere.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you. This medicine is really bitter, eat a candied fruit." After saying this, Ling Buyan walked away with an empty bowl as if he was worried that if he stayed here, Li Fenglan would be ashamed to eat candied fruit go out.

The empty bowl disappeared in his hand the moment he went out.

Hearing the sound of Master closing the door, Li Fenglan hesitated for a moment, and finally threw the candied fruit into her mouth.

I have to say, the taste is really good...

Watching Ling not tire of closing the door and leaving, Li Fenglan slowly sat back at the table.

He lifted the lid of the porcelain teapot on the table, only to see half a cup of medicine in the cold white porcelain pot.

— Li Fenglan only drank half of the bowl of medicine just now. He secretly moved the remaining half into the teapot using the little tricks he learned in his previous life.

Although he likes to train his apprentices, Ling Buyan can be regarded as a good master no matter how he feels after getting along with him or in the memory of the original owner.

Even when the original owner was seriously injured and almost died, he managed to save him.

But the better he treats himself, the more uneasy Li Fenglan becomes.

After all, Li Fuyue in her last life only knew at the moment of her death that her junior brother who had been clinging to her all day would really stab that sword...

Li Fenglan glanced at the "fierce beast" lying sprawled on the ground and smashing its mouth, thinking that the only thing she can trust now, is probably the only one.

…

Li Fenglan won a round, but in the competition on the Baiyulianhua stage, the final winner was Ming Xinzong.

But after what happened to Cheng Du'an, the deputy suzerain of Ming Xinzong also blew up Yuandan himself. Now even if Tianmian Palace is willing to give it, no one can take away the green leaf bracelet on behalf of Ming Xinzong.

Just after drinking the medicine this morning, Li Fenglan was brought over by the people from the main peak of the sect.

Only after he arrived did he know that Tianmian Palace planned to put the green leaf bracelet back in the Treasure Pavilion.

As the only person who won the competition on the white jade lotus stage at that time, Li Fenglan not only got the reward of high-grade spirit stones, but she could even take advantage of this opportunity to go in and have a look.

This is an extremely rare opportunity for ordinary monks.

According to legend, the Treasure Pavilion, which hides countless rare treasures, is located in the valley of the main peak. In fact, "Treasure Pavilion" is not its real name, but just an abbreviation used by the disciples of Tianmian Palace.

Its real name is "Xieguang Tower". It is thirty-three feet high and looks spectacular from a distance.

At this time, the disciples who were in charge of guarding the Xieguang Tower stood in front of the door in two rows in uniform white brocade robes, and Li Fenglan stood in the last row of the team.

Speaking of which, although Li Fenglan got the chance to enter the building, an ordinary disciple like him could only follow behind the man in white and look casually on the first floor, and could not go up.

Unlike the other people who looked nervous, Li Fenglan seemed to be lacking in interest. Fortunately, there was a hood to cover him, otherwise his appearance would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

The bronze bell not far away was rang lightly, and with the sound of the bell, the white jade gate of Xieguanglou slowly opened, and the leading disciple walked in slowly holding the green leaf bracelet.

At this moment, the spiritual swords hanging in mid-air in the hall suddenly emitted a soft golden light.

These swords are all celestial grades, and if you release any of them, you can exchange for ten cities in the mortal world. But in the Tianmian Palace, they can only stay on the first floor of the Light Reaping Tower and are responsible for guarding the gate.

Li Fenglan glanced at it lightly, then turned her gaze back.

As of now, everything works fine.

However, an accident happened at this time.

The moment Li Fenglan stepped into Xieguang Tower, the tall building in front of him trembled unexpectedly. The jade bells hanging on the eaves of each floor shook wildly, making an extremely ear-piercing sound.

"what happened!"

"There is a problem above..."

"It's the eighth floor!"

Next to Li Fenglan's ears were the frantic conversations of the monks in front, but behind him, the gate of the Xieguang Building was closed with a bang at this moment.

"Eighth floor?" Hearing these words, Li Fenglan suddenly remembered something - Li Fuyue's relics were all placed on the eighth floor of Xieguang Tower!

Among them is his natal spirit sword.

…No way?

I was really afraid that something would happen, just when Li Fenglan was about to step back and leave the Lighting Tower, the building shook even more violently, and the humming of long swords came from everyone's ears.

The next moment, I saw a beam of white light falling from the patio of the Lighting Building at an extremely fast speed, and was trapped in the center of the building by the formation of the guard building, roughly on the fourth or fifth floor.

After the dazzling white light disappeared, everyone finally saw the sword clearly and took a deep breath.

It was a long sword nearly two feet long, the blade was as thin as paper and white as jade, as if it could be broken with a light touch.

There are plum branches wrapped around the hilt of the long sword, and the plum branches are carved so lifelike, as if they were really broken from the tree just now.

People in Xieguang Building have never seen such a beautiful sword.

The only discordant thing was that there was a half-rotted tassel hanging on the back of the long sword, which looked very strange from a distance.

But no one here pays attention to Jiansui. The moment they see the long sword, they only have one feeling in their hearts—fear.

"That... That's cause and effect!" Someone finally said these three words.

Snow tires and plum bones, cause and effect.

The owner of this sword was Li Fuyue who died more than 1,200 years ago!

It is also because of its former owner, there are many exaggerated and terrifying legends on this long sword that is as white as jade.

Now seeing the cause and effect breaking through the barriers on each floor of the Light-emitting Tower and appearing here for some reason, everyone has a feeling that their death is imminent.

What's wrong with cause and effect?

Before today, this sword had been lying quietly for more than a thousand years. This sudden strangeness made people extremely frightened.

Only Li Fenglan took two steps back silently.

Suddenly breaking through the enchantment due to cause and effect, he naturally sensed the aura of his master...

You won't be able to see through your identity, right? Li Fenglan was a little nervous.

"Quick! Hurry up and maintain the formation!" After a few seconds of silence, the leading disciple finally shouted out this sentence.

After karma, the barrier on the upper four floors had already been penetrated, but fortunately, the guard array of Xieguanglou responded in time and temporarily trapped it here.

After the words fell, everyone except Li Fenglan stood in place, chanting the incantation to strengthen the formation.

At the same time, the gate of Xieguang Tower suddenly slammed, and then it was opened from the outside.

A familiar black shadow appeared beside Li Fenglan.

It's Meng Linzhou.

Apparently, Meng Linzhou didn't expect that he would meet Li Fenglan here. After seeing the man in white standing by the door, the man subconsciously frowned.

He wants to ask: why are you here?

However, the situation was urgent, so Meng Linzhou didn't say a word. He stood in the Guangxi Tower, and like those disciples, he poured his spiritual power into the formation protecting the tower.

In an instant, the golden light in the building flourished.

The formation was running slowly, and the cause and effect also slowly quieted down.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the white-clothed disciple in front finally stopped his movements, turned around and saluted Meng Linzhou adoringly: "Thank you, Master Xianzun!"

Meng Linzhou also withdrew his spiritual power, he just shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, fortunately there is a guard tower here."

Li Fenglan knew that Meng Linzhou was not being modest—although the traitor had a cultivation level during the tribulation period, his spiritual power was nothing in the face of karma.

The reason why the cause and effect can be controlled depends on the large guard formation of Xieguanglou. And the people who laid it down in the first place are the real ones.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that the cause and effect had temporarily stabilized, Meng Linzhou asked this question instead of sending it back to the eighth floor in a hurry.

Li Fenglan also hurriedly said the prepared answer: "I won the competition on the white jade lotus platform, and I was allowed to come in and have a look..." Although what he said was the truth, after seeing the cause and effect, Li Fenglan couldn't help but feel guilty stand up.

"That's it." Meng Linzhou nodded, and he turned around to look at Karma again, as if he was planning to send it back to the eighth floor.

But when he turned around, the problem suddenly came.

He finally noticed that there was a long rotten tassel hanging on Karma's sword.

"What is this?" Meng Linzhou said while subconsciously walking forward.

And following Meng Linzhou's line of sight to look at Jiansui again, Li Fenglan suddenly felt bad.

If he is not mistaken, this sword tassel is exactly what Meng Linzhou gave him back then as a "friend of casual cultivators"...
