Chapter 196: Qimen Lord's Light and Shadow Incarnation

Jinwu Chibi was horrified, and he asked, "Why did you come to me?"

As we all know, Hongri Villa is a huge magical weapon. This magical weapon can shrink into dust or turn into a mountain.

No matter how the size of the villa changes, its inner space will not change, and Jinwu Chibi is the owner of this magic weapon. Theoretically, any creature who wants to enter or leave the villa needs his permission. What's more, Jinwu Chibi also added a layer of barrier outside the room to block spiritual power and sound.

But now, why did Qi Zixing suddenly appear in front of him?

Jinwu Chibi tried to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil, because the entire villa was under his control. Here, he was the only ruler. Anyone who walked into the villa, even with only one foot, would become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by Jinwu Chibi.

However, Qi Zixing was an exception. He was clearly standing here, but Jinwu Chibi could not use the power of the villa to lock him or restrain him.

Jinwu Chibi thought: "It's been such a short time since we last met, and Qi Zixing has become so strong? The last time I fought him, he paid a great price to defeat me, but today, he was able to appear in the villa quietly... I always thought that as long as I stayed in the villa, I would be invincible. Even if the leader of Mingyue Sect came in, I would have the confidence to suppress her. It seems that people should not be blindly arrogant. Qi Zixing can enter and leave my villa freely, then... maybe the leader of Mingyue Sect can do the same?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Jinwu Chibi's mind. He wanted to chop Qi Zixing into pieces, but a smile appeared on his face. He praised: "Master, you are really capable. In all these years, you are the first person who broke into my villa quietly."

Qi Zixing said: "I am not here in my true form. Now I am just a lifeless shadow."

Hearing this, Jinwu Chibi was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, you are just an illusory shadow?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and touched Qi Zixing's hand.

The skin is delicate, smooth and warm.

Qi Zixing shook off his hand and said unhappily: "My light and shadow are different. I have a physical body and look just like a normal person, so don't do anything to me, because my light and shadow have feelings, but it is essentially an illusory shadow. Can swords and magic hurt shadows? The answer is no, so I won't get hurt."

Qi Zixing continued, "Also, you don't have to worry that I will use light and shadow to assassinate you, because in the light and shadow state, I cannot use any magic power, just like a mortal, and there is no threat to you at all."

Even if Guangying can carry a dagger with him, the speed of a mortal's attack is very slow, and the cultivator can easily block the mortal's attack.

Jinwu Chibi felt a little comforted. If Qi Zixing's real body came in, it meant that there was a huge loophole in his villa. If only light and shadow came in, it was acceptable... Wait, what should I accept? Any living creature running into the villa's territory meant that the villa's defense was not perfect enough. It seemed that he had to find a way to strengthen the villa in the future.

Jinwu Chibi asked, "How did you sneak in?"

Qi Zixing explained: "I recently learned a kind of astrology. The full name of the spell is [Star-Seeking Technique·Light and Shadow]. When I use this spell, a light and shadow will be generated. This light and shadow is not bound by the laws of space and can go anywhere in the world. For example, if I want to find you, then the light and shadow will descend upon you in an instant."

Jinwu Chibi asked, "So powerful?"

Qi Zixing said: "It's not great, the light and shadow are also flawed, I can only use it three times a month."

This statement is pure nonsense. In fact, Qi Zixing can use light and shadow three times a day. The reason why he said this is to let Jinwu Chibi relax his vigilance. Everyone is not a fool. It is impossible to tell others all the information about the spells they have mastered. They always have to keep a trump card.

Jinwu Chibi nodded and asked, "I wonder what the Sect Master wants to see me for?"

Qi Zixing handed over a storage bag and said, "We have agreed before that the profits from selling the [Concentrating Heart Mirror] will be divided equally. I will give you some spirit stones first."

Jinwu Chibi took it and looked at it. It was filled with spiritual stones, almost blinding his eyes. He was surprised and asked, "So many?"

Qi Zixing said: "There will be more to come."

Jinwu Chibi took a deep breath and murmured, "Is business so profitable? Our villa relies on collecting protection fees to make a living. There are many affiliated forces seeking my protection. The tributes from so many forces over the years combined are not as much as what you gave this time..."

Qi Zixing said: "It's mainly because the [Mind Concentrating Mirror] is very popular. I didn't expect it to sell so well... But don't hold your hopes too high. The number of immortal cultivators is limited. The [Mind Concentrating Mirror] can't always be a hot seller, and the subsequent income will be very low."

Hearing this, Jinwu Chibi tried to keep a straight face, but the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably, and he was obviously very happy. "For the sake of so many spirit stones, I won't bother with you, but the [Concentrating Heart Mirror] you sold really affects my reputation. I heard from my apprentice that our villa is now unable to recruit menial disciples."

Qi Zixing said, "That's because the owner of the manor has a threshold for recruiting servants. They must be good-looking... If this condition is removed, I believe the staff will be full soon. Also, didn't the owner of the manor agree to let me sell the mirror? Are you regretting it now?"

Jinwu Chibi's face darkened, and he said, "I agreed at first, but then I got beaten up. Normal people wouldn't agree to show the video of themselves getting beaten up for others to see, right? I was so angry after getting beaten up that I forgot about the [Mind-Concentrating Mirror]. Otherwise, I would definitely not allow you to make such a thing."

Qi Zixing apologized in a good-tempered manner, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through..."

Anyway, the spirit stones have been earned, and it doesn't cost money to say a few words of surrender. Qi Zixing asked: "I don't know what I should do to make the owner of the manor forgive me?"

Jinwu Chibi frowned and asked, "How did you divide the spiritual stones you earned?"

Qi Zixing replied: "The income is divided into ten parts, of which the cost and manpower account for ten percent, and the other nine percent is divided equally among us."

The Golden Crow Chibi Lion opened his mouth and said, "I want five portions of spirit stones. You and Sect Master Luo will each take 20%. That's not too much, right? After all, you are both beneficiaries. You get spirit stones, and Sect Master Luo gets countless worship and good reputation. So, it's not too much to give me some compensation in terms of spirit stones, right?"

Qi Zixing said with a strange look on his face: "You suffered a loss last time, don't you have any brains this time?"

"What do you mean!"

Jinwu Chibi exploded instantly, feeling that Qi Zixing was provoking him.

Qi Zixing said: "If you want to take more of my share, I have no objection, but are you so bold as to take advantage of the clan leader?"

Jinwu Chibi said: "Shouldn't you businessmen bargain? I said 50%, you said 40%, and then I nodded in agreement. I dare not provoke Luo Mingyue."

Qi Zixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, then it's settled. Besides... does the owner of the manor still want to kill me?"

Hearing the last sentence, the smile on Jinwu Chibi's face froze, "You did hear it after all."

"puff……"

Qi Zixing laughed out loud, "Even if I didn't hear it, I know you want to kill me... After all, you are a very proud person. We have known each other for so many years, and I know your personality and temper very well."

Jinwu Chibi narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Since you know what I think, why do you insist on spreading the [Concentrating Heart Mirror]?" Qi Zixing spread his hands helplessly and said, "There is no other way. Xuanxing Sect is too poor. I must do everything I can to earn more spirit stones so that I can support my disciples..."

Jinwu Chibi said, "How rich are you? How dare you cry poor?"

Qi Zixing said: "I have too many disciples. The spiritual stones are not much when they are distributed to each person. Sometimes I feel like I am not the leader of the sect, but a slave, trying to make money to support my disciples every day."

Jinwu Chibi said: "Don't play the victim, this trick won't work on me."

Qi Zixing said: "I am telling the truth. My sect is located on an isolated island and is often attacked by sea beasts. Disciples need to buy a large number of elixirs, such as detoxification pills, healing pills, etc. to improve their survival rate. In addition, they also need to buy various magic tools... All of these cost spirit stones. Do you think I live a carefree life? In fact, my life is also very hard."

Jinwu Chibi said: "Give up, I will not be soft-hearted, I must occupy four spiritual stones, not even one less!"

Qi Zixing nodded, "Okay, okay, no problem."

At this time, Jinwu Chibi discovered that Qi Zixing's feet began to slowly disappear, and then his knees also faded into nothingness.

Qi Zixing smiled, "The time for light and shadow is up, I'll come to see you next time."

Jinwu Chibi smiled wryly, "I don't like people suddenly appearing next to me, even if it's just light or shadow. I'll leave the spirit stones with you first. When I have time, I'll go get them myself."

"it is good."

After saying this word, Qi Zixing's body completely disappeared.

Jinwu Chibi stood there, his hand tightly grasping the storage bag, and said solemnly: "I feel that Qi Zixing has become stronger... I must also improve myself quickly, otherwise I will be left behind sooner or later. I was too comfortable before. After all, there are only three Jindan-stage masters in the entire cultivation world. Qi Zixing and I have been in high spirits for a long time, and we have been glorious wherever we go. Now, a fourth Jindan-stage cultivator has appeared, Yuan Wenyu from the White Jade Sect..."

……

……

Xuanxingmen, an island on the sea.

Qi Zixing's real body opened his eyes, lowered his head, looked at his hands, and whispered: "This is my first time using light and shadow, and I'm not very skilled yet. I can't control the location of the transmission. I should have transmitted the light and shadow to the outside of the room, knocked on the door before entering, so that the owner of the manor would not be so hostile to me."

"Next, I should go find the Sect Master and give her his share of spirit stones."

Qi Zixing sat cross-legged, he clasped his hands together, and spiritual energy floated around his body. It seemed that countless stars appeared behind him, emitting a soft light. It was the light of these stars that formed a human-shaped shadow.

Astrology·Light and Shadow!
The next moment, a figure took a step forward and arrived at Mingyue Sect in an instant.

"who!"

Luo Mingyue had just finished chatting with the contracted beast in the room. She walked out of the house and teased a few little foxes in the yard.

The youngest fox was particularly clingy, acting coquettishly and cutely in her arms, so adorable.

At this moment, Luo Mingyue suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in space. The fluctuation was very weak, just like a breeze blowing a strand of hair. Luo Mingyue subconsciously raised his hand and released a stream of spiritual power.

The spiritual power instantly penetrated Qi Zixing's body.

A fist-sized hole appeared on his waist, covered in blood, and one could see the scenery behind him through the wound.

"It's you?" Luo Mingyue asked in surprise, "I can hurt you like this with just a flick of my hand?"

Qi Zixing said with a strange expression: "I am also surprised. It stands to reason that spiritual power cannot hurt me."

What happened to Sect Master Luo? Why could he harm Light and Shadow...

There was a flash of doubt in Qi Zixing's eyes.

Luo Mingyue did not pay attention to the abnormality in his words, but quickly cast a healing spell to help Qi Zixing heal his wounds.

Luo Mingyue said: "Your body... feels a little strange. You look like a living person, with a heartbeat, breathing, and a pulse, but I don't know why, I always feel that your body is actually a dead object."

Qi Zixing said: "Master, you have good eyesight. This is indeed not my real body, but a ray of light and shadow."

He took out a storage bag from his sleeve, handed it to Luo Mingyue, and said, "This is the income from selling mirrors. Please take a look, Sect Master."

"Mirror, what mirror?"

Luo Mingyue was not well-informed because she always stayed at home in Mingyue Sect. She never went out, nor did she cultivate any spies. She just lived her own life behind closed doors and didn't care what happened in the outside world at all.

Qi Zixing then explained the whole story.

Luo Mingyue said: "Can you give me a mirror? I want to see."

"Of course." Qi Zixing carried a small mirror with him. He handed the mirror over, feeling a little nervous, worried that Luo Mingyue would not be satisfied.

"Hmm!" At this time, the little fox in Luo Mingyue's arms made a dissatisfied cry. It had been enjoying Luo Mingyue stroking its fur, but Luo Mingyue was busy looking at the pictures in the [Concentrating Mind Mirror] and ignored it, which made it very dissatisfied.

The little fox was reluctant to lose his temper with Luo Mingyue, so he stared at Qi Zixing with hostile eyes. His dark eyes were moist, a little aggrieved, and a little fierce. He said in a soft voice: "Go away!"

"Hey?" Qi Zixing was not angry with a little fox. He looked at the little white fox with amusement and said in a coaxing tone, "Don't be angry. I'll leave right away."

The little fox's pronunciation was not standard enough. It originally wanted to say "You're smart", but what came out of its mouth was "Shua". It said "Shua" several times in a row and felt like it was about to cry. So it gave up talking and snorted heavily.

Qi Zixing was touched by the cuteness. He reached out his hand and wanted to rub the little fox's head, but the little fox didn't want to be touched by outsiders. Moreover, it thought Qi Zixing was going to hit it, so it quickly curled up in Luo Mingyue's arms, whimpering pitifully.
