After the jade talisman in Li Dazhi's sleeve was broken, he arrived at Wei Yuanzong in just a moment.
It wasn't that the two sects were already moving, but that Li Dazhi invited his master Jinxian; Taoist Kong Ming waved his sleeves and took the father and son, Qing Su and Wen Rou to the Wei Yuan Sect.
The Golden Immortal Patriarch of other sects, unless their sect has suffered a great calamity, basically cannot go out of the main door, nor can they step forward at the second door;
And the Jinxian Patriarch of the Wei Yuan Sect and the Wan Yun Sect... has become a model worker in the world of Dongzhou Sect Patriarchs.
As soon as he approached Wei Yuanzong's mountain-protecting formation, Li Dazhi frowned tightly.
The eight thousand immortal soldiers guarding the vicinity of Wei Yuanzong have surrounded the entire Wei Yuanzong, with the tips of their spears facing inward, as if facing a formidable enemy.
When the five of them entered the mountain-protecting formation, they immediately saw a huge crowd gathering on top of the mountain at the northwest corner of the sect.
That is the location of the first branch of Zhuyun Hall.
The big cloud boat that had entered the Weiyuan Zong Mountain Gate before was hovering in the southeast corner. The fairies on the cloud boat and the immortal soldiers near the cloud boat were also looking towards the northwest.
"what happened!"
Li Dazhi roared and ran directly into the crowd.
"Uncle Dazhi is here!"
"Fellow Taoist Dazhi! The branch hall is on fire!"
"I don't know who the devil actually released a jar of Guiyuan True Fire!"
Li Dazhi rushed through the crowd, stood in the air, stared and frowned at the... ruins in front of him.
Of the dozen or so connected halls that originally stood here, only one-third of the area is left standing. The left and right sides have turned into two even sheets of coke, exuding curls of white smoke.
Li Dazhi trembled, his face suddenly turned into gold paper, he lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ambition!"
"dad!"
Before Li Ping'an could rush over, Kong Ming Lao Dao and Xu Sheng appeared at the same time, supporting Li Dazhi from left to right.
Li Dazhi's figure was shaky and he said in a trembling voice: "How could it be possible! You don't put out the fire! You don't put out the fire!"
Xu Sheng looked ashamed and said in a low voice: "The person who set the fire used Guiyuan True Fire, which can hurt Taiyi Golden Immortal. It only burned for a few seconds. When I reacted, I could only protect the main hall in the middle."
"Over there is the treasure house, over there is the workshop! You can protect either one!"
Li Dazhi shouted with a trembling voice, broke away from the support of the two golden immortals, and slowly squatted on the cloud, looking at the patches of ashes in front of him.
Li Ping'an walked to his father's side and looked at the ashes calmly.
Li Ping'an asked: "Senior, are there many casualties?"
"Alas," Xu Sheng sighed, "One hundred and twenty-three disciples were killed. The fire was so intense that there was no time to retreat... I have ordered them to rush to build a new magic weapon production line. I will live in it later.
Seal it up..."
The old Taoist Kong Ming said sternly: "I am a poor Taoist, go find the Tiantian Clan!"
"Kong Ming!" Xu Sheng frowned, "Why did you go to them? A fight? It's not certain yet that they did it!"
"Dad," Li Ping'an whispered, "go and have a rest. I'm here. I'll investigate the cause of the fire and see if I can find the person who set the fire."
Li Dazhi stared at the two ashes, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.
"dad!"
Li Ping'an suddenly shouted softly, and a ray of fairy light came out from his fingertips, hitting the back of Li Dazhi's neck.
Li Dazhi suddenly took a breath and stood up slowly.
Now, the immortals from both immortal sects are watching him, and he must suppress his emotions and stabilize the situation.
"Senior Xu Sheng, set up a new production line as quickly as possible, and the magic weapon for ASEAN cannot be affected.
"The matter has come to this, and we can no longer take a step back, otherwise our two treasure houses will be destroyed by this disaster.
"Ping'an... You go to Senior Tianli to think of a solution... Senior Tianli probably can't do anything... We will be short of a large number of precious materials for refining these magic weapons, and they may cut off our channels for purchasing precious materials.
, or drive up prices wantonly.
"Go and inform Xiao Yue that all Wanyun Sect's magic weapon shops will clear their inventory at a low price, and all the spiritual stones will be purchased and sent to Wei Yuan Sect."
Li Dazhi's body, which is not too tall, once again looks a bit stalwart.
"Zhuyuntang will arrange for the relatives of the deceased. What happened today must be investigated clearly. Who set the fire, who killed the person, and who made the hard work of our two sects go up in flames!
"This damn thing was really burned to the ground!"
He let out a long sigh and turned around to face the remaining main hall buildings of the first branch.
Many immortals followed behind.
Xu Sheng and Kong Ming went over the two ruins to carefully check whether there were any remaining fires.
Qingsu and Wenrou rushed to Li Ping'an's side.
Qingsu asked: "Is the loss big?"
"Well," Li Ping'an nodded lightly, "With this fire, Wei Yuanzong killed and injured more than a hundred weapon refiners. Our high-quality magic weapon line was destroyed. It will take at least a month to rebuild. What's more terrible is that for the sake of convenience,
Management, the treasure materials have been piled up in the treasure house here, and stored according to the storage magic weapon, and now there should be only a small part left."
Wenrou frowned tightly: "They are too despicable to use such means."
"There is no way to prove that it was done by Tiantianmen."
Li Ping'an calmly stared at the ashes ahead.
He said quickly:
"I estimate that even if there is a thorough investigation, the final result will only be that the arsonist died in the fire."
Qing Su said softly: "The True Fire of Guiyuan can hurt Taiyi. Such true fire is definitely not something ordinary sects can master. And where such true fire is needed, that is, where top-level immortal treasures are refined, such a true fire can be used."
Do you want to go to the Tiantian Clan about the matter?"
"Kui Yuanzong should also have the True Fire of Guiyuan. This cannot be used as evidence."
Li Ping'an suddenly sighed:
"I originally thought that by repelling the enemy at the mountain gate, my father had defeated the Tiantian Clan for a while.
"I never thought that the enemy also understands that the goshawk fights the rabbit with all his strength... By the way, senior Wenrou, go and accompany the two adults. They seem to be in the main hall.
"We didn't do enough protection this time, and the two adults were frightened."
Wenrou agreed and looked worriedly at the direction where Li Dazhi disappeared.
She said: "If you have any questions, just tell me."
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, and then watched Wen Rou fly to the main hall of the Kaiyuan Sect to meet up with Huang Di's concubines and his entourage.
"Apprentice," Qingsu asked, "are you doubting them?"
"No."
Li Ping'an whispered:
"Looking at the fire burning on both sides at the same time, there should be two arsonists. These two arsonists who wanted to die can only be people from the Wei Yuan Sect. Maybe their minds were controlled, or maybe they were from the Tiantian Clan.
The arranged spies most likely have detailed arson plans.
"The probability that these ASEAN fairies have any problems is very small, and they came here on a temporary basis.
"It's just that I really didn't expect that the two Yellow Emperor's concubines were going to visit this place. The real culprit behind the arson was really not afraid of burning the Yellow Emperor's concubines to death?
"Huang Di just retired and stopped caring about the world. He is not dead. If he wants to take action, it will probably only take an instant for the Tiantian Clan to be wiped out."
Qing Su groaned a few times, not knowing how to persuade her.
"Let's go, there's nothing we can do here," Li Ping'an said suddenly.
Qingsu asked: "Where to go?"
"Let me think about it...forget it, I'll stay with my father here first. He should be feeling very uncomfortable now."
Li Pingan took out the white tiger from his sleeve and handed it to his master.
Qingsu's eyes lit up: "Where did the lynx come from? Is it an ingredient?"
"The mount has just broken out of its shell. Master helped me raise it. I may not be able to take care of it in the future."
Li Ping'an put his hands on his back and looked at the two pieces of ashes and the two immortals who began to walk around and search on the ashes.
There was a slight breeze in the forest, blowing the long hair and headbands of the master and apprentice.
…
Dong'an City, among the shops that have not yet opened.
Mo Yunshen frowned and looked at the two 'senior brothers' in front of him. He was a little unhappy at the way these two senior fellow apprentices wore ghost masks.
This always reminds him of those pretentious women.
"set fire?"
Mo Yunshen asked in a low voice:
"Didn't you say that His Majesty the Yellow Emperor's concubines are currently in the Weiyuan Sect?"
"So what if they are in Wei Yuanzong?"
One person sneered:
"We are not going to burn them. The Guiyuan furnace fire has the two altars tilted together. The first branch hall was gone in just two breaths, and neither the people nor the dregs of the ritual instruments were left."
Mo Yunshen frowned and asked: "What if this matter angers ASEAN!"
"Don't worry," another person said calmly, "Junior brother, why are you so cautious? Don't we have anyone in ASEAN? It should be said that there are still a few people in ASEAN who are not ours?"
Mo Yun sighed deeply: "There is something wrong after all."
"Master asked you and me to each come up with a strategy. Junior brother, your strategy hasn't started yet, but we have finished it."
"Senior Brother, your strategy is indeed brilliant. You summoned the weapon refiners of hundreds of sects and found a dozen people who were close to their longevity. The blood of Wan Yun Sect was splashed... Unexpectedly, it was easily resolved by that Li Dazhi.
“Although my method is simpler, the effect is the best.
"Now, all the cheap treasure materials on the market have been purchased in advance by the sects we arranged. However, the cost of this treasure material is more than 20,000 square spirit stones. Wan Yun Sect and Wei Yuan Sect are fighting with us.
Can you afford it?”
Mo Yun bowed his hand deeply: "Senior brother, I admire your cleverness."
"It's okay, the two of us came here just to call you back so you don't have to work here anymore."
"They are no longer able to deliver enough magic weapons to ASEAN on time, and some people will attack them in the future."
"Well," Mo Yun said with a deep smile, "the two senior brothers can go back to the mountain first. I will stay here for one or two more years to learn how the Wanyun Sect's shop operates, so that I can make more money for the sect.
Spiritual stone."
"good."
"You are quite clever."
The two Taoist priests wearing masks said with a smile.
One person casually opened the world and stepped into it. The other person followed from behind and closed the world without leaving any traces in the room.
Golden Immortal Realm.
Mo Yunshen shook his head slightly, stood up and walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the Wan Yunzong shop across the street.
"Great Fortune Immortal, don't lose so easily."
…
In the next two months, the three sects, Wan Yun Sect, Wei Yuan Sect, and Tian Yuan Sect, have been shrouded in an extremely tense atmosphere.
The process of the fire was quickly deduced.
As Li Ping'an said, the problem lies with the two young weapon refiners of Wei Yuanzong.
According to the description of witnesses in the middle hall, there was nothing unusual about the behavior of the two people that day. They came here to work on time. One of them went to the treasure house to get the treasure materials. They wrote various information according to the rules, including their identity, production time, and assembly line batch number.
Wait, enter the treasure house.
A moment later, two fire lotuses burst out at the same time, quickly swallowing up the treasure house and the weapon refining workshop.
Then Xu Sheng appeared, and two veiled female fairies appeared. The three of them took action at the same time, defeated and suppressed the flames, and only then the middle halls with the most people were saved.
Otherwise, the casualties will reach hundreds.
The relatives, friends and family of these two Weiyuan Sect weapon refiners didn't know why they behaved like this.
In order to save Wei Yuanzong's face, when Zhuyuntang announced to the outside world, it was that these two people were controlled by demonic cultivators.
Huang Di's concubines and his entourage stayed in Wei Yuanzong for two days, but after seeing that they could not help much, they returned to the ASEAN headquarters.
Li Ping'an could clearly feel the tremendous pressure his father was under.
The deaths of more than a hundred weapon refiners;
The treasure house was burned, and only one-tenth of the treasure materials prepared for the production of more than 80,000 sets of magic weapons were saved. Repurchasing them would require at least more than 8,000 cubic meters of spiritual stones.
Wanyun Sect has a profound foundation, so this spiritual stone can still be obtained.
But once the fire is burned down, Wan Yun Sect, Wei Yuan Sect, and Tian Yuan Sect will lose nothing in this magic weapon sale.
What's more important is the delivery date set by ASEAN.
If these magic weapons cannot be handed over before the delivery date, there is no guarantee that no one in ASEAN will cause trouble.
However, bad news comes one after another.
The two special ores needed to refine ASEAN's treasure armor were suddenly out of stock on the market; the prices of most of the other various treasure materials needed have increased.
Obviously, this is Zhuantianmen sniping at Zhuyuntang from behind.
The increased cost is not unbearable for Zhuyuntang, but the lack of sources for several precious materials is the real trouble.
Guaranteed delivery has become the slogan that Zhuyuntang keeps shouting.
Li Dazhi soon couldn't sit still anymore, and together with Taoist Kong Ming, he began to visit Youzong who had contact with Wanyun Sect.
When asking for help from someone, you should never put on any airs.
Although Li Dazhi was a little reluctant, under such circumstances, he could only take out the magic weapon distribution rights that should have been speculated at a high price ten years later.
The pair of masters and apprentices traveled back and forth for more than half a month, and barely managed to gather all kinds of treasures.
Kong Ming Lao Dao himself was not seriously ill, he just lost a little face, and Jin Xian was in a very stable state of mind. However, Li Dazhi had two more strands of white hair on his temples, which made Li Ping'an feel depressed.
Next, Wan Yun Sect, Wei Yuan Sect, and Tian Yuan Sect mobilized a large number of masters to protect Wei Yuan Sect.
Zhuyuntang adopts a one-shift system. Everyone who enters the new weapon refining workshop must temporarily store all the stored magic weapons outside, and then put on special Taoist robes.
Senior Xu Sheng took his disciples to live and eat inside.
Not only were the weapons refining on the assembly line, but all the weapon refiners from the three sects also gathered together to mechanically and repeatedly refine these high-quality magic weapons.
Li Ping'an was not idle. He refined more than 700 magic weapons in two months, and his whole spirit became much depressed.
Finally, on the eve of the delivery day, the last set of magic weapons landed.
However, everyone maintained a high degree of vigilance, without any carelessness. The Weiyuan Sect's mountain-protecting formation and the Zhuyuntang branch's peak-protecting formation were fully activated, and the three Golden Immortal Patriarchs were guarding everywhere.
At dawn that day, Old Man Tianli appeared outside Wei Yuanzong with more than a dozen ASEAN officials.
After inspecting and accepting the last batch of magic weapons, Old Man Tianli immediately ordered people to deliver the spiritual stones.
The total number of these spiritual stones is 10% more than what ASEAN had previously promised.
Old Man Tianli sighed: "ASEAN is already aware of what happened here. The extra 10% should be used as a pension for your three sects. ASEAN is already investigating the arson thoroughly, but the arsonist died on the spot.
Lost my head."
Li Dazhi took the storage magic weapon that stored the spiritual stones, looked at the high-grade spiritual stones neatly piled up into huge four squares, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and handed the stored magic weapon to the master respectfully.
Taoist Kong Ming was also unambiguous. Jin Xian went to settle the accounts in person and settled the shares of Wei Yuan Sect and Tian Yuan Sect in public.
Calculated in this way, because of the final pension provided by ASEAN, the three sects each benefited from hundreds of spiritual stones.
But the price of three hundred square meters of spiritual stones is really too high.
"Dazhi," said the old man Tianli, "go and have a rest. I see that your breath is not smooth. There must be something wrong with your Taoist heart."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Senior, you actually still care about people."
Old Man Tianli stared and raised his hand, Li Dazhi quickly resigned and returned to the Zhuyun Hall.
The entire Kaiyuan Sect finally had a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Li Ping'an thought about his plan in his heart, slipped into the back hall of the branch hall, opened the door of his father's room, and stepped into the fairy power barrier arranged by his father.
"Dad, I plan to go east..."
Li Ping'an's voice stopped suddenly,
On the bed in front, Li Dazhi, who was about to meditate, leaned sideways on the bed, tilting his head and fell asleep deeply.
Li Ping'an sighed softly, took out a slate, carved a line of pinyin, and left it with his father.
"Dad, sweet dreams."
After saying this, Li Ping'an turned around and ran away, taking his master with him to visit the old man Tianli.
What was written on the stone tablet was actually eight characters.
