A month later, a transmission note flew from outside Ye Changsheng's cave.
Ye Changsheng, who was practicing, had a thought in his mind and used the formation to receive the transmission note.
It was sent by Senior Sister Chen.
She has already processed those talismans and sold them wholesale to various stores in the Chen family.
As Ye Changsheng expected, he earned more than 10,000 spiritual stones.
In addition, Senior Sister Chen also followed his instructions and investigated the situation of the Li family.
The Li family is a little-known family in the world of immortal cultivation in the Yue Kingdom. There is only one foundation-building monk like Li Sanbian in the family.
Below him, there are less than a hundred Qi Refining disciples living in a castle.
Outside the castle, there are hundreds of thousands of mortals, all disciples of the Li family.
This is the normal state of a cultivating family.
A large number of mortals provide for a few practitioners.
After receiving the message from Senior Sister Chen, Ye Changsheng immediately went to Yellow Maple Valley and went to Senior Sister Chen's cave.
After obtaining the spiritual stones and information, Ye Changsheng gave Senior Sister Chen two bottles of elixirs and asked her to practice well.
Then, he set out to find the Li family.
Pingzhou is a state with a relatively high regional area ranking among the thirteen states of Yue.
However, the spiritual energy in this state is relatively thin, and there is neither a sect of cultivators nor a large family of cultivators.
Only some small cultivating families and a large number of casual cultivators support the world of cultivating immortals in this state.
Fenglin Mountain is one of the more well-known mountains in Pingzhou.
The existence of a small spiritual vein on the mountain makes it one of the few places in Pingzhou suitable for cultivating immortals.
But on weekdays, few casual cultivators dare to come to this hill.
Just because this Maple Forest Mountain has long been occupied by a large family of cultivators.
Looking from a distance, the maple trees all over Fenglin Mountain dye the entire mountain red.
Between the fluttering maple leaves, the autumn colors are abundant.
The mountain is not very high, it looks less than 100 feet, it can only be called a small hill.
At the top of the mountain, there is a huge castle standing.
Outside the castle, many buildings were built densely, surrounding the castle, row upon row, in a well-proportioned manner.
In these buildings, there are a large number of mortals coming and going, including many martial arts masters who fly over eaves and walls while moving, and their movements are agile.
Shouting, shouting, and the strong breath of life hit our faces.
The mortals living here seem to be very relaxed, not as hard as those people living outside the mountains.
However, different from the relaxed atmosphere outside the fort, today's Lijia Fort has a faint atmosphere inside that a storm is coming.
The number of patrol posts has increased to several times the usual number, with layers of guards and strict defense.
Qi refining disciples led the team, followed by martial arts masters who were rare in the world.
They looked around nervously, as if they were prepared for a sneak attack.
Deep in the Li Family Fort, in a secret room, a dozen white-haired old men gathered here.
If you look closely, you can see that their cultivation level is much higher than that of those patrolling outside.
They are all at high levels of Qi refining, and the worst one is at the twelfth level of Qi refining.
"Brother, what is the situation now? Just tell me directly. Don't hide it from the brothers!" One of the old men with a red face shouted loudly.
He has spiritual pressure from the thirteenth level of Qi refining. He has gray hair and a rosacea nose.
The person he called eldest brother was an older man, and his aura was slightly stronger than his.
The man sighed and said slowly: "Two days ago, the family master's protective magical weapon appeared in the secret shop of the Yuanwu Kingdom's Immortal Realm. You should all know about this!"
As soon as he said these words, the faces of the dozen or so people below immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Brother, tell me quickly, what happened to the head of the family?"
The leader of the old man was silent for a moment, and then said sadly: "According to our investigation, the head of the family has died in Yuanwu Kingdom!"
"What?"
"how come?"
...
Although they had already expected it, everyone below was immediately shocked when they heard the bad news.
"Who is the murderer?" someone asked excitedly.
"Swear to avenge the head of the family!" someone shouted.
"Everyone sit down and make a lot of noise. What does it look like?" the old man in the leader suddenly shouted coldly.
"What can we do if we find out the murderer? Do we have the ability to take revenge?" he shouted angrily.
"The most important issue at the moment is how to preserve the entire family, rather than investigating the cause of the family leader's death!" the old man with rosacea said coldly.
"Seventh brother is right. Our Li family's ability to occupy Maple Forest Mountain is all thanks to the family leader, the foundation-building monk. Now that there is no foundation-building monk in charge, it is a difficult question whether we can still secure this small spiritual line!"
Upon hearing this, the originally noisy secret room immediately became quiet.
Everyone who had been so excited before became dejected, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and all their anger had been doused.
Yes, now that the head of the family is dead, the Li family has reached a critical moment of life and death. It's unclear whether the family can survive. There's no time to worry about how the head of the family dies.
Thinking of the coveting eyes of the wolves from the outside world, for a moment, there was an atmosphere of panic among everyone that a catastrophe was imminent.
In the past, the Li family's ability to secure this place relied on the continuous appearance of foundation-building monks over hundreds of years, one generation after another.
Especially the head of the family of this generation is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and is considered a master in the entire Pingzhou.
In this way, naturally no one would dare to plot against the Li family.
However, this generation is simply unlucky.
First, an elite disciple who was sent to Yellow Maple Valley by the clan and who had high hopes for establishing a foundation died inexplicably.
Then, the head of the family also died inexplicably.
At this moment, the top-level combat power of the Li family was completely cut off.
"Brother, I have a plan that can temporarily alleviate the family's crisis!" In the dead silence, someone stood up and said.
"Oh? Sanyuan, what do you think? Can you tell me?"
"We can give the secrets passed down by our ancestors to a major cultivating sect and ask them to protect our family for a hundred years. Within a hundred years, we should be able to cultivate foundation-building monks!" the man said loudly.
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately frowned.
They generally knew what the ancestor's secret was, but they never knew the specific content.
That is a secret that only the head of the family can master.
The leader of the old man pondered for a moment and said: "I have also thought of this method. It is also a way out, but you must be cautious when using this strategy, otherwise it may bring disaster to the family!"
"But none of us know the secret. How can we make those sects believe in us?" one person questioned.
The leader of the old man smiled mysteriously and said: "Actually, our ancestors once left a notebook, which recorded in detail things related to that secret!"
"That manuscript could only be kept by the head of the family before, and we didn't have the right to see it. But now, since the head of the family is no longer here, we will take out the manuscript!"
"Okay, brother, take us there quickly!"
"I never thought there was such a thing!"
...
Everyone was extremely excited for a moment, as if they had seen the hope of saving the family, and immediately headed towards the library, led by the old man at the head.
More than a dozen people came here, and when they opened the door to the library with excitement and curiosity, they were all stunned.
