I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Tian Ling'er nodded at first, then, sensing something was wrong, quickly shook her head and shouted, "Who wants to see this! They never learn anything good!"

Tian Ling'er felt she couldn't stay any longer, so she covered her face and ran back to her room.

"Phew, she's finally gone!" Li Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tian Ling'er leave.

He doesn't really want to reason with women because they rely entirely on intuition and guesswork.

Can you defend against that?

Just like when she saw Li Qing'an go out without taking anything with him, she could immediately recall her casual conversation with Zeng Shushu a few days ago.

It was incredibly accurate.

If they don't let her leave quickly, she might actually become certain that Li Qing'an went to see a vixen, and one from a brothel at that. That would be even more troublesome; Lu Xueqi might find out too.

Then his lifelong reputation would be ruined!

But it’s okay!

After seeing Tian Ling'er walk away, Li Qing'an returned to his room to rest.

Chapter 138 Naming the Eighth Meridian?

The next day.

Li Qingan changed back into his original blue robe, placed Xiao Luo on his shoulder, and flew towards the Eighth Meridian.

He needs to go to the Eighth Vein to check on the situation and also think about the name of the Eighth Vein peak.

As its first chief, he was responsible for raising the peaks and deciding on their names.

Eighth Meridian

The craftsmen were all carefully selected by Xiao Yicai. Most of them were independent cultivators at the first or second level of the Jade Purity Realm, and a small number were experienced mortals.

Therefore, the work was carried out very quickly, and the basic structure was completed in eight or nine days.

It's a cultivation world, so it's normal!

The mountain range is like a sword pointing to the sky, and the peak is shrouded in clouds and mist. However, a huge tree can still be vaguely seen in the clouds and mist. It looks like a place with a strong immortal atmosphere, which is obviously a place to nourish people.

Li Qing'an placed Xiao Luo by the newly built pond next to the pine and cypress trees. Standing on the huge pine and cypress trees at the top of the mountain, he looked down at the busy crowd and felt quite satisfied.

He's been in this world for almost twelve years, and finally there's a place that completely belongs to him.

The Chinese concept of homeland is deeply ingrained in their very being.

Li Qingan then channeled his vital energy into his eyes, causing them to glow, and the incomplete runes within them flickered erratically.

He wanted to study eyes modified with white light.

Looking down.

He discovered that he could see the earth's energy veins that he would normally need to access through a panel to gain deeper insights.

The grayish-white earth vein energy crisscrossed and connected in all directions, with turbid energy and dense evil energy constantly flowing. After being constantly regulated and sorted by two yin-yang runes and mountain peaks, it continuously spread pure energy, merging into the eighth vein's mountain peaks, allowing the plants on the mountain to grow stronger. The pine and cypress trees benefited the most.

"It looks a bit like an enhanced version of the Spirit Gathering Array, and it even has conversion capabilities," Li Qingan muttered to himself, having an idea of ​​how to use the Yin-Yang runes.

'And we also need to investigate what that white light in those eyes is!'

As Li Qing'an pondered, he looked toward Xiaozhu Peak, which was closest to him.

The earth vein energy of Xiaozhu Peak was completely different from that of the Eighth Vein. It exuded a blue earth vein energy, and the earth vein energy was extremely pure, with much less of the malevolent energy compared to the Eighth Vein.

Li Qing'an suddenly remembered another magical artifact related to the Zhuxian Sword Formation buried in the Seven Veins of Qingyun—the Heavenly Secret Seal.

Legend has it that this item was discovered by Qingyunzi to suppress the malevolent energy within the terrain. The full release of the Zhuxian Sword Formation requires releasing the control of the Tianji Seal, at which point its power will increase dramatically!

Killing someone from the Taiqing Realm is nothing to them.

He looked at the other six veins and saw that they were all the same, except that the colors of the earth vein energy in the seven veins were completely different. However, they matched the seven-colored Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi that Dao Xuan had used at Tongtian Peak.

What Li Qingan wanted to study was how to integrate the eighth meridian into it, and ideally, use yin-yang runes to regulate the earth vein energy of the entire seven meridians, which might even enhance the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

It offers excellent value for money.

However, it will take time. At least he will have to wait until after the Qi Opening Ceremony to comprehend the Zhuxian Ancient Sword and the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book.

Logically speaking, the best time to hold the grand ceremony would be after the eighth meridian is integrated into the sword formation, but Dao Xuan couldn't wait.

With his current apparent strength of the Taiqing Realm combined with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, few people in both the righteous and demonic realms dare to provoke him, so he can do whatever he wants.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to give the Eighth Meridian a resounding name.

But Li Qing'an didn't intend to take it himself.

It would be best to involve Lu Xueqi, since the entire Eighth Meridian can be seen as the empire that Li Qingan built for her!

Another reason is that if he treats Xiao Xueqi better now, he can be less harsh on Tianya in the future.

He roughly estimated that his female confidante might make Xiao Xueqi want to bite him to death.

Leaving aside Tian Ling'er, both of them were disciples of Qingyun Sect, so it was naturally within her expectations; but Biyao from Ghost King Sect was gone, as was Xiaobai, whom he had been thinking about for five years, and perhaps even...

Do you think Li Qing'an wouldn't treat her better?

With this thought in mind, Li Qing'an looked up towards Xiaozhu Peak.

With his current eyesight, he could vaguely see that his little Xueqi was also cultivating at the Moon Gazing Platform.

"Xueqi, come to my mountain peak, I have something to discuss with you!"

Li Qingan used his telepathic magic to travel the distance between the two peaks, transmitting the message to Lu Xueqi's ears.

He really doesn't dare go up without Shuiyue's permission now, lest he be struck by another heavenly lightning.

His decision to have Lu Xueqi discuss the naming of the Eighth Meridian was a matter between the two of them, and had nothing to do with Shuiyue, so there was no need to go through the trouble of applying for it.

Xiaozhufeng Moon-Viewing Terrace

Lu Xueqi brandished her azure divine sword, its blade shimmering with blue light. Her slender figure moved with the sword, sometimes thrusting forward, sometimes slashing upward... a truly magnificent scene of a fairy dancing with her sword!

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her skin was whiter than snow, her lips were naturally red, and her skin was as smooth as ice and her bones as pure as jade. When she wielded her long sword, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Qingan's voice reached her ears, but the long sword in her hand did not waver in the slightest, as if she was about to complete the sword technique demonstration.

After a short while, Lu Xueqi stopped what she was doing, her clothes fluttering, closed her eyes to regulate her breathing, and then looked towards Li Qingan's eighth meridian.

Without waiting for Li Qing'an to call her again, she leaped and flew towards the Eighth Meridian.

Not long after, Lu Xueqi flew to the sky above the Eighth Vein.

On the eighth mountain peak, several rogue cultivators looked at Lu Xueqi in the sky with admiration, but dared not utter any wild words, and only whispered among themselves.

"Who is this fairy? How can she be so beautiful?"

"They seem to be disciples of Xiaozhu Peak, and they appear to have some connection with Li Qing'an, the head of the Eighth Branch!"

"Stop standing around! Getting to work is the right thing to do. The sooner we finish, the more time we'll have to cultivate in these mountains!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely! We independent cultivators are not affiliated with any sect, do not have any cultivation methods, and cannot even find a place with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate. Helping the Qingyun Sect with its construction is a great thing. Not only are we rewarded, but Chief Li has also allowed us to cultivate during our spare time!"

"A monk who looked to be over fifty years old said happily."

"Really? If I cultivate in a place like this, wouldn't I have a chance to break through my cultivation level?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more excited and stopped caring about how beautiful the celestial maiden was, speeding up their work.

The fact that they were able to set aside their cultivator status to build palaces at Qingyun Sect shows that they were not completely disillusioned with cultivation, and they would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

Lu Xueqi ignored the commotion below.

Those icy eyes, like the water of a frozen pool, quietly looked down at the people of the Eighth Vein below. The cold arrogance in their eyes seemed to shut out everything in the world, just like a fairy from the moon palace who had accidentally fallen to earth, or a thousand-year-old snow lotus blooming on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, proud and aloof, even with a touch of holiness.

As she landed beside Li Qing'an, the icy coldness in her eyes, which had kept everyone at arm's length, vanished as if in a dream, revealing an expression completely different from before.

"What does my brother want with me?"

Lu Xueqi's voice was still as melodious as ever.

Chapter 139 Lu Xueqi Names Her!

The summit of the eighth branch of Qingyun Sect.

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Li Qing'an was a little unhappy. Xiao Xueqi didn't follow him around as much as she used to do at Liubo Mountain.

What Li Qingan didn't know was that the stronger he became, the more Lu Xueqi wanted to keep up with him.

These days she practices the "Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique - Moonlight Chapter" at night and swordsmanship and Taiji Xuanqing Dao during the day.

Thanks to the first volume of the Heavenly Book, she felt that her cultivation speed in the Taiji Xuanqing Dao had increased significantly, allowing her to break through to the Shangqing Realm a few years earlier and once again reach the same realm as Li Qing'an.

Due to the influence of Yuehua's long-term cultivation, her temperament became even colder, making people afraid of her. She only showed her other side to Li Qingan.

'It seems that the battles at Liubo Mountain and Tongtian Peak have helped the two of them grow a lot!' Li Qing'an thought to himself, recalling Tian Ling'er's keen insight.

Lu Xueqi wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Her brother was right in front of her, not a dream, and the distance between them was so close.

Once her cultivation catches up with Li Qing'an's, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief and be able to laugh and joke in front of her brother again, and even stand in front of him.

She had been looking forward to that moment since she was a child.

"The more I cultivate, the colder I get!"

Li Qingan said irritably, but he didn't hesitate to take Lu Xueqi's cold hand and lead her to the ancient pavilion next to the pine and cypress trees.

"Xueqi, can you help me name this eighth meridian?"

"Me, choose a name?" Lu Xueqi was somewhat surprised. "But didn't the sect leader tell you to choose a name?"

"Do we really need to be so clear about who's who?" Li Qingan retorted, displeased.

"No...no need..."

The coldness on Lu Xueqi's face vanished completely with those words, and her cheeks flushed red, spreading to behind her ears.

“Besides the name, Xueqi, you can also plant some tear bamboo near my room, so that you can stay there in the future…” Li Qingan said, holding Lu Xueqi’s hand.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xueqi's face turned even redder, and she suddenly lunged forward, covering Li Qing'an's mouth with her other hand.

As a woman raised in ancient times, no matter how cold she was, she was still caught off guard by such words from her beloved. She felt shy, but even more so, she felt joy.

"Brother, what...what are you saying...?"
