Li Changqing swore a poisonous oath in front of Lin Xiao, made a contract, and successfully obtained a spiritual pill from Lin Xiao, and then left in an excited mood.
Lin Xiao pinched the contract and couldn't help but think of the first time he met Li Changqing. At that time, he had just entered the Zi Mansion, and Li Changqing was already at the twelfth level of the Zi Mansion.
But in the blink of an eye, two or three hundred years have passed. Li Changqing is still struggling in Daogang, the Lu State has collapsed and disintegrated, and Lin Xiao has become the leader of the Wu State, which can be said to be a trick of fate.
Of course, this transaction has nothing to do with old love. It is a win-win deal. Li Changqing obtained the Lingming Pill and had the opportunity to attack the spiritual light. Once successful, he can extend his life by three hundred years and unify the Lu Kingdom.
As for surrendering to Wu State, this is meaningless. With the strength of Lu State, it really makes no difference whether to submit or not. If a war breaks out and Wu State recruits Lu State to fight, will they still dare to refuse? Instead, as Li Changqing said, they will join Wu State.
country, the benefits will be greater.
If Li Changqing can break through the aura and use their connections in the Lu State to unify the Lu State again, it is normal. When the Lu State fully joins the Wu State, the prestige of the Wu State will skyrocket again, and the overall national power will increase rapidly. This will be a great opportunity for Lin
It is very beneficial to open up the wilderness with laughter.
Therefore, Lin Xiao did not lose money on this transaction. No one would make a loss-making transaction, and Lin Xiao was not stupid.
Half a year later, Nan Xuanzheng took over as the first elder, and Li Yiwen officially retired. Lin Xiao also held a retirement ceremony for Li Yiwen within the sect.
Every first elder is extremely important to Lin Xiao, and their contribution to the sect is also great. Even if there are some flaws during his tenure, Lin Xiao will pretend not to see them and give them full trust.
This is also an encouragement to successors.
With the Lingguang monk in charge of the sect, Lin Xiao could plan with peace of mind. Soon, Lin Xiao left Wu Kingdom and went to White Jade City first.
At this time, Bai Xixi has been in Bai Jade City for some years. Unfortunately, she still has not broken through the fifth level of alchemy. It is a big hurdle from the fourth level to the fifth level. It is difficult to break through easily. However, considering that Bai Xixi is not old, she is still very capable.
Opportunity, great potential.
After Li Muxue left, Bai Jade City's fifth-level elixir business once again returned to its original environment. Sects such as the Spirit Sword Sect still occupied the mainstream, and interests were re-divided, which also made it more difficult for Bai Xixi to compete for resources.
A lot.
Lin Xiao had no better way to deal with this. This kind of competition was a competition of overall strength. When Li Muxue was able to win the competition, he had to first break through the fifth level in the Wu Kingdom, which was equivalent to breaking the monopoly before competing.
Now Bai Xixi has not broken through to the fifth level of alchemy, and no one else dares to give Bai Xixi the materials to refine it. Bai Xixi can only save money to buy the fifth level materials by herself, and then make a breakthrough to refine it.
Lin Xiao stayed in Bai Jade City for a few days and came to Xuanyue City again. With Lin Xiao and Li Muxue's cultivation levels, only a city of Xuanyue City's level could meet their cultivation needs.
"Master, I heard that you chose a one-armed Taoist monk to be the first elder this time?"
"Yes, is there any problem?"
"No, it's just that Daogang monks have a long lifespan. Isn't this inconsistent with the master's consistent strategy? How can a disciple from a poor family succeed in the future?"
"Disciples from poor families will have many opportunities to get ahead in the future. Now that the sect's stalls are bigger and there are more positions, as long as we grasp the strategy well, disciples from poor families will still have channels to rise."
"Okay, but this elder Nanxuan is very ambitious. Master, you see, not long after he took office, he is already hoarding combat supplies. The proportion of elixirs has been reduced a lot, and the proportion of magic weapons and spiritual talismans purchased is huge.
few"
Li Muxue took out a list. Now that the sect's purchasing base had Xuanyue City, she naturally received the sect's purchasing needs. Li Muxue knew the secret at a glance.
"I know this. Nanxuan is planning for the wilderness. This is the sect's next strategy."
"In such a hurry, the sect's strength has not yet recovered, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you haven't recovered. Just do things step by step. This is my default. You can purchase it according to the needs of the sect."
"I see"
"How is your alchemy skills? Have you broken through to the fifth level of high-grade?"
"Last month, I made a furnace of fifth-level high-grade elixir. It failed, but it's almost done. I'll try two more furnaces at most, and I'll be able to produce a complete elixir."
"Then this is for you"
Lin Xiao nodded. Every time he broke through a grade, it was an investment. Although he was not a high-level person, he still had a lot of needs. Lin Xiao gave Li Changqing's money in exchange for the Lingming Pill to Li Muxue.
"There are so many. Master has made a fortune. No, Master must have sold Lingming Pill again."
"You've become smarter. That's right. I sold one to Li Changqing. He has decided to join our country of martial arts. This business is not a loss, it's a big profit."
"Li Changqing, is that the Li family back then?"
"The matter is over, let's not mention it anymore. Your master, I am not that kind of narrow-minded person."
Lin Xiao smiled and said that the head of Tiansheng Sect and a group of senior officials were the work of Li Changqing, the Li family, but it has been hundreds of years, so there is no need to mention it again.
"Master, you should be more generous. If it were anyone else, he would have destroyed the Li family long ago, let alone give him a strategic elixir like Lingming Pill."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I don't have much Ling Ming Dan in my hand now, so the batch of true Ling Ming grass from Xilao Kingdom twenty years later is very important. You must step up your alchemy skills. You must not lose this sum.
, we can’t afford the loss.”
"Don't worry, I'm still confident that there will be three in one furnace. If it doesn't work, just use one furnace to refine it for others. Doesn't Master have connections in Central Continent?"
Li Muxue replied that through Lin Xiao's use of the Lingming Pill, she already knew that the person Lin Xiao hired in Zhongzhou was definitely a master of alchemy. The Lingming Pill produced no less than seven pills. This alchemy skill was already extremely terrifying.
"You can't use relationships indiscriminately. It's hard to repay favors. But you reminded me. I have to go to Central Continent for a walk. Some things need to be planned in advance."
"Master, what are you going to do? Do you want my help?"
"No need, just make alchemy"
Lin Xiao waved his hand. The matter in Zhongzhou was too involved and Li Muxue couldn't help. It was more convenient for him to be alone, as he could fight and run.
Lin Xiao didn't stay for a few days, and took the teleportation array to Shengyun City. Then he went straight to Danxia City, hoping to find Lan Lingyu to have a relationship with him, but he didn't expect that Lan Lingyu had gone into seclusion. After inquiring, he found out that Lan Lingyu
I need to retreat to break through the spiritual void.
Speaking of which, this is really the result of the Eight Treasure Pills. Lan Lingyu's alchemy skills are good. She took Lin Xiao's pill recipe and longevity fruit, quickly collected other auxiliary materials, and then refined a furnace of Eight Treasure Pills.
.
Within a few years, he went to a big city to trade at an auction held every three hundred years, exchanged a treasure from a seventh-level monk, escaped numerous pursuits, returned to the Danxia Sect, and then closed the door.
Not surprisingly, a year ago, Lan Lingyu began to break through Shenxu very quickly.
This news left Lin Xiao very speechless. It was really unfortunate. It would take some unknown how many years it would take for someone to break through the Divine Void. It took someone decades to break through, which made Lin Xiao's idea come to nothing.
After staying in Danxia City for a few days and buying some elixirs, Lin Xiao left and headed south, soon arriving near Xuanyang City. Ah Qing received the news and quickly came to see Lin Xiao.
"A Qing has met the leader"
"No need to be polite, Ah Qing has been in Xuanyang City for a long time, right?"
"It's been decades since I returned to the head position."
"How is Iron Lion doing?"
“Everything is fine”
"well?"
“So be it”
"Tell me carefully"
Lin Xiao looked at Ah Qing's tone and felt that he was weak. Wouldn't Iron Lion get into trouble again?
"Iron Lion, we are in big trouble."
"Ah Qing, you won't hide anything in front of me, right? You, Ye Xiao, don't even need to report to me now."
"I don't dare, Master, I don't mean that. I really don't know how to say it. Iron Lion has offended too many people now. Previously, Iron Lion was controlled by Qing Nian of Tianxuan Sect to investigate the spies of various sects in Xuanyang City.
To save his life, according to Iron Lion's prediction at that time, we would be able to rescue him within ten years, so that's why he was so unscrupulous.
Unexpectedly, the rescue plan was delayed again and again, resulting in Tie Shi's escape being far away. Over the past few decades, he had almost poached all the spies from various sects, and Tianxuan Sect Qing Nian was also extremely vicious, and Tie Shi was killed every time.
Now the outside world thinks that Tie Shi is an elite subordinate of Tianxuan Sect's Black Water Tower, and they are all keeping an eye on him. If he leaves Xuanyang City, he will definitely be captured by all parties to find out.
The details of Tianxuan Sect”
"Does that mean this is still my fault?"
"I don't dare, Master, we don't have this intention."
Ah Qing quickly lowered his head. He didn't know where he had said the wrong thing. Lin Xiao was so sarcastic about him, which made him very frightened.
"Did Ren Hong say anything after he came out of confinement?"
"No, Tie Shi threw himself into the trap just to save Paul Luoyun's life, so Luo Yun didn't die. After Ren Hong came out of seclusion, he learned about Luo Yun and Tie Shi. He was furious and wanted to kill someone, but was killed by Qing Nian.
Prevent.
Afterwards, Luo Yun was left out again and became extremely poor. Every year, he was not even given the basic necessities for practice, let alone food and clothing. The Luo family was split up again, and someone under Ren Hong was trying to make Luo Yun miserable.
Half of the people in the family died at one time, and now the Luo family can be said to have died."
"Luo Yun has not been divorced?"
"No, this is the viciousness of Tianxuan Sect. Now that Qing Nian is blocking the iron lion, the iron lion will be fine. But if the iron lion wants to run away or does something, Qing Nian can throw the iron lion to Ren Hong. This time the iron lion
We are indeed in crisis.”
"Can Luo Yun and Tieshi keep in touch?"
"No, the two of them have very little contact. They basically see each other once or twice a year."
"Tell Iron Lion that in thirty years, the plan will begin, and he will be able to escape by then."
"Yes, leader"
"Okay, you go down. I'm going to Xuanyang City. Don't follow me."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then entered Xuanyang City. He had not been to Xuanyang City for a long time. By the way, he went to see Iron Lion in person. Xuanzong was a bit too bullying today. If possible, Lin Xiao would like to help.
Iron Lion will find a place to talk. (To be continued)
