When Li Xuanshan heard Li Xuangang's inquiry, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Ninth, you are talking about Fellow Daoist Han!"
Li Xuangang looked at the latter's expression, frowned, and squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a bad premonition.
"I have met that fellow Taoist Han several times. He is currently refining elixirs for his family in the alchemy pavilion on the side peak...well...it's the same alchemy pavilion you used to stay in, Ninth Brother. Yes.
Yes, and Yuxian is now practicing alchemy with her."
Having said this, Li Xuanshan lowered his voice first, and then continued:
"Brother Ninth, be careful when you go back."
"Huh?" Li Xuangang looked a little confused.
"Brother Ninth, you deceived Fellow Daoist Han about the pill prescription. Fellow Daoist Han figured it out some time ago. She brought this matter to the eighth uncle. Now the whole family knows that you deceived him about the pill prescription."
Li Xuangang's face gradually darkened.
No wonder that outside Wujiangfang City, the tribesmen in the caravan felt a little inexplicable after seeing him.
He suppressed the emotions that were about to collapse in his heart and continued to ask:
"Then...how did the eighth uncle deal with it?"
Li Xuanshan spread his hands and said:
"What else can we do? Afterwards, I gave Fellow Daoist Han some equivalent family contributions, which means the family bought her recipe."
Seeing Ninth Brother Li Xuangang frowning again, Li Xuanshan comforted him:
"Actually, Brother Ninth, you don't have to worry too much. I guess Fellow Daoist Han can't do anything to you. Besides, your cultivation level is so much higher than hers. Can't you just avoid her when you go back?"
Li Xuangang didn't expect that he could really get the recipe for Black Mysterious Pill from Han Yuru after just trying it casually. If she hadn't been so easy to deceive, he wouldn't be facing this situation now.
The key point is that Li Xuangang knew that he not only took her Black Mysterious Pill recipe, but also took away a peach core from a spiritual peach tree from her hand.
When he thought of this, Li Xuangang couldn't help but feel dizzy.
But now that things had happened, he had no choice but to go back, hoping that he could successfully avoid Han Yuru as Li Xuanshan said.
...
In the days that followed, as if to deliberately avoid this topic, Li Xuangang never asked anything about Han Yuru. Instead, he asked Li Xuanshan about the current situation of his family.
Walking slowly and chatting slowly, Li Xuangang has not had such a leisurely time for a long time.
As time passed slowly, he was getting closer and closer to Taiqiu Mountain, which he had been away from for a long time.
Due to this action of the Corpse Ghost Sect, the family obtained a large amount of resources in the Hengduan Mountains, so Taiqiu Mountain is now developing rapidly.
Li Xuangang learned from Li Xuanshan:
There are now more than 350 monks in the family, and the new ones who have joined the mountain are all members of the Yu clan.
Moreover, due to the increase in industries on Taiqiu Mountain, such as some newly opened spiritual fields, the honey produced by the Yuluo bee colony, and the new caravan formed by the turtle beasts.
These new industries have brought a significant increase in the family's annual income.
Finally, as a large amount of resources had been recovered from the Hengduan Mountains in the past few years, the eighth uncle Li Changji also put the matter of upgrading the third-level low-grade spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain on the agenda.
According to Li Xuanshan's guess, it is believed that in at least ten years, the spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain will be upgraded from the third-level low-grade to the third-order mid-grade.
...
When the aura-filled Taiqiu Mountain appeared in Li Xuangang's sight again, he felt countless emotions in his heart.
How could Taiqiu Mountain, where all things grow, be so beautiful? Even though he had seen it for many years, he still felt he couldn't see enough.
Looking from a distance, the majestic mountain of Taiqiu Mountain is shrouded in a thin layer of mist. Through the mist, you can vaguely see various spiritual plants and monks coming and going.
Looking down, there are hundreds of acres of spiritual fields planted with spiritual valleys, and a newly opened green pasture at the foot of the mountain.
It was the place where the family used to tame the Doumamon and the Tortoisemon.
The caravan entered the avenue at the foot of Mount Taiqiu, with golden oceans stretching out on both sides.
Seeing another caravan coming back, the tribesmen who were working in the golden sky stood up and wondered which city this caravan was coming back from?
In order to prevent the earth horse beast's large body from accidentally stepping into the spiritual field on the roadside, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanshan had already got off the carriage and were guarding it on both sides.
Just when Li Xuangang was mesmerized by the majestic scenery of Taiqiu Mountain, a whirlpool of spiritual energy suddenly appeared on the top of Taiqiu Mountain.
This whirlpool of spiritual energy grew from small to large, gradually stirring up the spiritual energy of the entire Taiqiu Mountain.
The huge spiritual energy fluctuation instantly attracted all the tribesmen. At this moment, they all stopped what they were doing and looked up towards the top of the mountain.
Li Xuangang was also attracted by the sudden spiritual energy storm, just when he was guessing what had happened.
The figure of the eighth uncle Li Changji appeared on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, suspended in the air.
With a wave of his hand, he threw out the token of the Taiqiu Mountain Guarding Array.
The token was activated, and then the entire Taiqiu Mountain Guarding Array opened a layer of light curtain, gathering all the spiritual energy to the top of the mountain.
Just when this whirlpool of spiritual energy became more and more intense, another vortex of spiritual energy actually appeared.
Li Xuanshan, who ranked fifteenth, was shocked speechless by this scene. He stared blankly at the strange scene on the top of the mountain. At the same time, he asked Li Xuangang beside him:
"Brother Ninth, do you know what's going on?"
Li Xuangang also looked at the top of the mountain motionless. After a moment of silence, he said:
"This should be some tribesmen attacking the foundation-building realm."
"ah?"
Li Xuanshan exclaimed.
"Two spiritual energy fluctuations, are there two people hitting the foundation building stage at the same time?"
Li Xuangang heard his rhetorical question, so he gave a definite answer:
"If my guess is correct, it should be the second uncle Li Qingyang and the fourth uncle Li Qingjing. Wait a moment, when these two spiritual energy fluctuations dissipate, we will know the final answer."
At this moment, all the Li clan members are quietly waiting for the final result on the top of the mountain.
An hour passed, and the two spiritual energy storms gradually became smaller. It seemed that the breakthrough process was over, but there was no other movement on the top of the mountain.
And the eighth uncle Li Changji continued to float in the air, showing no intention of going to investigate.
Just when the Li clan members were looking forward to it, two black rays of light suddenly flew out from the top of Taiqiu Mountain, one after the other.
When the two escaping lights stopped in the air, their original faces were revealed.
The two of them are Li Qingyang, the second-oldest person in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Qingjing, the fourth-oldest person in the Qing Dynasty.
Countless clan members began to cheer. Ever since the soul of their great-uncle Li Yishang passed away, although the family seemed to have no problems on the surface, the problem of insufficient number of foundation-building monks had been lingering in the hearts of all Li clan members.
Well now, two more members of the Foundation Establishment Stage tribe have finally appeared, which means that the family has more high-end combat power and can also ensure the stable development of the family in the future.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain has six foundation-building monks at the same time.
Li Changji saw Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing appear with a hint of relief on his face. He said a few words to the two of them, and then took the lead to fly back to the top of Taiqiu Mountain, with Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing following behind.
That day, countless Li clan members were discussing Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing, who had just entered the foundation building stage.
The clan also promptly sent paper cranes to clan members in other places to inform them that the two had entered the foundation building period.
Li Xuangang was also excited and followed the caravan into Taiqiu Mountain.
Feeling the aura of the third-level spiritual veins on Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang couldn't help but feel relaxed.
After saying goodbye to the caravan, Li Xuangang went to his cave.
While traveling in the mountains, he also met a group of unfamiliar faces, including Li Yuqian, whom he was familiar with.
"Is this a new member of the Jade generation from Taiqiu Mountain?"
Seeing Li Xuangang, Li Yuqian took the lead in saluting her and saying:
"Yu Qian has met Uncle Jiu!"
Other members of the Yu clan heard Li Yuqian calling Uncle Jiu, so they all reacted and saluted Li Xuangang one after another.
For a time, various playful sounds came to Li Xuangang's ears:
"I've met Uncle Jiu!"
For Li Xuangang, this group of Yu clan members who were only at the first or second level of Qi refining were unfamiliar, because they entered the mountain after Li Xuangang left Taiqiu Mountain and headed for the Hengduan Mountains.
However, the name of Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang was not unfamiliar to them.
Not only because he is one of the few alchemists in the family, but also the third monk of the Xuan generation to enter the ninth level of Qi Refining.
What made them even more familiar with the name Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang was the incident a few years ago when Han Yuru, a guest of the family, complained to their uncle Li Changji.
"I heard that Uncle Jiu deceived the kind-hearted Han Keqing and took away her Black Mysterious Pill recipe."
Li Xuangang naturally didn't know what these juniors were thinking now.
After he nodded slightly in return, he was ready to leave.
But just as he turned around, Li Yuqian's voice suddenly sounded in the mountains:
"Uncle Jiu, was it you who defrauded Han Keqing of the Black Mysterious Pill recipe?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuangang's face suddenly darkened, and his heart began to surge with waves.
