As the end of the month approaches, Xiao's mansion becomes busier and busier.

Although most families currently have some hostility towards the Xiao family in the Zixuan Dynasty, they still have to admit that the power of the Xiao family. At least, Xiao Shaofeng is still very powerful at present. In addition to those cultivators who have overcome the wind and fire tribulation, those cultivators in various major families who are in the same realm as Xiao Shaofeng will not be his opponents.

And Lu Li, after meeting Xiao Shaofeng himself, did not feel that he was really sure that he could easily beat him.

Therefore, no matter what, the major families who received the invitation from the Xiao family will definitely attend this birthday party.

But all this has nothing to do with Lu Li.

Anyway, he had no intention of attending this feast from the beginning.

Nowadays, in addition to practicing his own life every day, Lu Li only occasionally gives guidance to the Gu family guards.

Although he had never practiced the kind of saint of the body, and the physical saint of the martial arts and the meditation of the Buddha's vein are actually somewhat fundamentally different, but Lu Li has a profound realm after all, and has been guided by Xia Longyin and Gao Ren. He naturally stood at a relatively high level in terms of the problem. In addition, he is also a sword cultivator himself. The two guiding techniques of "Shanhe Jue" and "The Son of Heaven" also have some similarities between meditation and saint of the body, so Lu Li has no effort to guide him.

However, he had to do so.

If a practitioner who truly practices meditation and practices, Lu Li will have no way to give him any advice.

Under such circumstances, Lu Li's life was still quite good. Of course, the only thing that was the only drawback was that if he could not use the Gangfeng layer to condense the evil energy on his body into a Gangsha, Lu Li felt a little regretful.

However, with the supply of a large number of top-grade spirit stones, Lu Li quickly cultivated the second star of the Taotie Sutra.

He found that the level of condensation of the stars is more difficult than that of the round tripod. This not only means that the control and proficiency of the skills in cultivation, but also means that Lu Li must absorb more spiritual energy in cultivation to successfully condensate.

This consumption is even greater than the nine round tripods he condensed at the time. He used up nearly a thousand of three thousand top-grade spirit stones in one go!

This also led to Lu Li not daring to continue practicing after successfully condensed the second star.

He estimated that the coverage of the spiritual consciousness of sixty feet should be enough, and at least to the extent of the longevity, the gap with others would not be too large - those who have practiced the special spiritual consciousness method were exceptional.

Time passed in a hurry.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

The Iron Cavalry of the Zixuan Dynasty, Xiao Shaofeng's 700th birthday.

Logically speaking, such an old birthday should be more luxurious and extravagant. After all, with Xiao Shaofeng's status and prestige, even if the whole city celebrates together, the current emperor of the Zixuan Dynasty would not say anything. However, Xiao Shaofeng chose to be low-key and just invited some family members. This is because the Xiao family is a big family after all, and it is impossible to be so rude. If possible, maybe no one would want to invite Xiao Shaofeng.

"Immortal Master, are you really not going?"

At this moment, in the Gu family, Xiao Yiyi and Gu Xiang were standing in front of Lu Li, with a respectful look on their faces.

"No." Lu Li lay on the bed, looking through the local magazines and magazines brought from Gu Xichao there, and said lazily, "It's also a problem to go there. I might as well read books here."

Gu Xiang and Xiao Yiyi looked at each other, with a little helplessness in their eyes.

After all, Lu Li's identity is not something they can command, so if Lu Li really doesn't go, there is nothing they can do.

"Your Grandpa Taizu is a very powerful person." After glanced at the expressions of the two, Lu Li naturally knew how they were feeling. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "He knew that he was getting closer and closer, and now he was preparing a way out for your Xiao family... But he probably had an agreement with your emperor."

"What does it mean?" A hint of confusion appeared on Xiao Yiyi's face, but then she became nervous.

Lu Li looked at Xiao Yiyi, pondered for a moment, first sighed, and then said, "Your Xiao family has been strong for too long... It can be said that all of you live in the shadow of Xiao Shaofeng, which is absolutely unfavorable for a dynasty. The royal family of the Zixuan Dynasty did not attack you because Xiao Shaofeng is a veteran of the four dynasties after all, and there is really nothing to criticize, so he continues to tolerate your Xiao family so much development."

"But now, as Xiao Shaofeng's body weakens day by day, he gradually becomes irrelevant in the eyes of the royal family." Seeing Xiao Yiyi's face gradually becoming pale in his words, Lu Li continued to speak, "Once he falls, your Xiao family will be marginalized immediately, and the entire Xiao family may even suffer a catastrophe.... Maybe there are many people with pretty good cultivation in the Xiao family at present, like you, like the middle-aged people I met before... But just you, it is obvious that it is impossible to compare with the royal family."

"So... Grandpa Taizu resigned from his post in the court and stayed at home?" Xiao Yiyi was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. She just didn't want to admit some things, "So..."

"Yes... don't you think there is anything wrong with it? The people of your Xiao family originally had seven generals, but now they are only your brother and one general. Although the others have been transferred in their positions, they are either transferred to remote areas, or they have lost their real power and just a false reputation." Lu Li's voice was very light, but the information revealed in his words made Xiao Yiyi feel like he was in an ice cave. "Xiao Shaofeng, why is it so low-key on the 700th birthday? It is to downplay your Xiao family and gradually withdraw from the crowd's vision... In this case, you also asked me to attend your Taizu Grandpa's birthday. Isn't this harmful?"

Xiao Yiyi opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, and her face was dull.

Looking at Xiao Yiyi's appearance, Lu Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said the last sentence: "Isn't the obstacle you encountered when you went to ask for notes to transmit music? Isn't it the best proof?"

"Thank you, the Immortal Master, for your advice." Xiao Yiyi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Li three times.

Lu Li naturally could bear this kind of thanks. He just smiled and looked at Gu Xiang. Although this girl was kind in her heart, she didn't know anything. She just lacked enough experience and tempering. At this moment, Gu Xiang showed a faint smile, her eyes were like crescent moons, full of smiles, and her smile contained her sincere gratitude.

Lu Li glanced at Xiao Yiyi again, then turned over and looked at the local magazines in his hand. When the two of them left, Lu Li said calmly: "If you really want to seek a way out for your family, just consider what I said before."

Xiao Yiyi nodded, said nothing, and then left with Gu Xiang.

Lu Li knew that in fact, on Xiao Shaofeng's birthday today, he shouldn't have said those words, but some things that didn't say were meaningless. He had never expected those people in the Xiao family to understand Xiao Shaofeng's painstaking efforts. Lu Li still sincerely admired the old man he had only contacted once. This was not just because the other party was two hundred years older than him, and there were many things that he, a cultivator who had been rolling and fighting in the world of Taoism, had never considered.

It can be said that he saw another kind of light in Xiao Shaofeng - a different light from Xia Longyin, Gao Ren and others, but the same wise.

"There are never good people or bad people in this world." Lu Lihe wrote a book and threw it casually. The miscellaneous notes flew to the round table in the room. "Your goal is the opposite of mine, so we are enemies... and if you are consistent, the enemy may not become friends." After pondering for a moment, he added: "Of course, those exceptions to those dead revenge. Even if the goal is consistent, you may not be able to cooperate."

After yawning, Lu Li turned over and sat up from the bed. He didn't think there was anything wrong with using this psychological offensive to make Xiao Yiyi return to Taiyi with him. Anyway, what he said was the truth. When he saw Xiao Yiyi's appearance when he went out, Lu Li already knew that this woman who had no good roots but had good talent and hardworking could no longer stay here. As long as this goal was achieved, it would be enough.

It emanated, covering the entire Gu family's spiritual sense, and began to slowly be collected back by Lu Li.

"The time is over, Tamamo, let's go and pick people up." Lu Li smiled and looked at Tamamo who was curled up in a ball and was sleeping beside him just now.

Perhaps because he was tired of eating various foods, this little guy's requirements for food have been reduced a lot in recent days, and he even learned to be picky in food, which has given Lu Li a headache. However, at this moment, when Tamamo heard Lu Li's voice, it woke up immediately. There was no trace of sleepiness in his bright eyes, and he even had some excitement. Recently, he has been staying in the Gu Mansion and lacking enough freedom, and it is already a little irritable.

At this moment, he heard Lu Li say that he could go out for a walk, of course he was very happy.

Looking at Tamamo's excitement, Lu Li smiled and took out a musical notes from his body.

This is the sound transmission note he received this morning, from Huang Haoxuan.

There are only four words above.

“Arrival tonight.”
