"Xuan Gang, what would you think if you were sent to Mangshanfang City to take charge of the affairs of the family alchemy pavilion?"
After Li Xuangang and Li Yuxian stood still, Li Changji asked directly.
There was no big surprise. Li Xuangang had a rough guess in his mind before entering the top of the mountain. However, he did not immediately answer the question of his eighth uncle Li Changji. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he respectfully replied:
"Xuan Gang is naturally willing to make arrangements with the family, but I'm afraid that I have no experience in this area and may not be able to manage it well."
Li Changji smiled and said to Li Xuangang: "It doesn't matter, I have learned about your alchemy level from the seventh brother. In my opinion, with your current alchemy skills, you can survive in a small city like Mangshanfang City.
It is enough to build an alchemy pavilion. Xuangang does not need to belittle himself."
After hearing what Li Changji said, Li Xuangang no longer postponed and said:
"Since the eighth uncle trusts me, Xuan Gang will no longer refuse. I just wonder when the eighth uncle thinks it is appropriate for me to go to Mangshanfang City?"
Li Changji waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, the various resources used by the family to decorate the Alchemy Pavilion in Mangshanfang City have not yet arrived, so you can set off again in two months."
While Li Changji was giving Li Xuangang instructions, Li Yuxian was sitting quietly beside him. He still didn't know why his uncle asked him to come up.
After Li Changji finished instructing Li Xuangang on specific matters, he turned to Li Yuxian and said:
"Jade string."
"Eighth uncle." Li Yuxian responded.
"Although Yuxian, you are not at the fourth level of Qi Refining now, the family is currently short of manpower, and you are the most promising member of the Yu generation to become an alchemist, so you are willing to follow your uncle Jiu to Mangshanfang City
?"
Hearing this, Li Yuxian thought: "So that's it."
He was no stranger to Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang, and had experience in the former's alchemy skills, so Li Yuxian answered simply:
"Uncle, Yuxian is willing to go to Mangshanfang City with Uncle Jiu."
Li Changji showed a smile and finally said:
"That's good. After you come down from the mountain, you can contact the family's newly formed caravan of turtle beasts. In the future, they will be the family's caravan heading to Mangshanfang City. They will also be responsible for the first batch of resources for your Alchemy Pavilion.
transport."
"Xuan Gang knows it, so my eighth uncle can rest assured."
After Li Xuangang gave his last salute and said goodbye, his eighth uncle Li Changji glanced at him, then pretended to be casual and said softly:
"I have settled the matter with Han Keqing for you. You can find an opportunity to explain it to her yourself. Now that the family is expanding, such an alchemist is very important to the family."
Li Xuangang smiled bitterly and replied in a slightly decadent tone:
"Xuan Gang will handle this matter well and it will not affect the family."
...
After coming down from the top of Taiqiu Mountain, he told Li Yuxian some specific matters before Li Xuangang separated from him.
Afterwards, as Li Xuangang left the mountain and walked towards Tianhefang City, he thought: He just deceived Han Yuru once, so why did he seem to have gotten into such a big trouble?
Thinking of this, Li Xuangang couldn't help but shook his head again.
On the other side, Li Yuxian also followed Li Xuangang's instructions and walked to the pasture at the foot of the mountain to look for the turtle-like caravan.
When he arrived at the pasture, he found Han Yuru sitting on the edge of the pasture. Opposite her was her elder brother Li Yuheng, who was riding on a turtle beast. The latter was talking to her leisurely.
What.
Li Yuxian was about to turn around and leave, but Li Yuheng accidentally saw him and stopped him.
After that, Li Yuxian had no choice but to walk over, bowed to the two of them and said:
"Yu Xian has met eldest brother and Han Keqing."
Seeing that the person coming was Li Yuxian, Han Yuru smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples. The gentle wind blew through the tips of her hair, and a faint pleasant smell came out.
Han Yuru, who had changed into a plain palace dress, smiled at Li Yuxian, then turned around and asked Li Yuheng again in a crisp voice:
"Continue to tell me about Li Jiu."
"Li Jiu?" Li Yuxian didn't react for a moment. Is it still called this name in the family?"
"And there is no seniority. Could it be that he is a mortal clansman?"
...
At this time, Li Xuangang, the ninth in the Xuan generation, was rushing to Tianhefang City. On the way, he was thinking:
"I don't know if two months will be enough for Uncle Six to complete the refining of the Eight Spider Green Light Sword?"
By the time he arrived in Tianhefang City, it was already three days later.
He ignored the shops on both sides of the streets in Fang City and walked directly towards the family's newly opened Weapon Refining Pavilion.
He had already found out the specific location of the new weapon refining pavilion from the clan members, so there was no need to run around now.
The newly opened Weapon Refining Pavilion of the Li family is located in the southeast corner of Tianhefang City. When Li Xuangang arrived here, the interior layout had been completed. It looked no different from the Weapon Refining Pavilion in Wujiangfang City, except that it was smaller in scale.
There were no monks inside at this time, so Li Xuangang didn't know whether the newly opened Weapon Refining Pavilion was open for business.
Entering the lobby of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, he asked the tribesmen who were doing chores inside, and then entered the backyard of the Weapon Refining Pavilion on his own.
The sixth uncle, Li Qingshu, was currently refining magic weapons in the cave in the backyard.
Li Xuangang sent a paper crane to his cave, then took a few steps back and waited respectfully outside the cave.
After a while, Sixth Uncle Li Qingshu walked out of the cave.
The uncle and nephew stood under a willow tree in the backyard. Li Xuangang took the lead in saluting and explained the purpose of his visit.
Since he had already mentioned this matter on the way back to Taiqiu Mountain, Li Qingshu was already prepared.
After taking out the eight-handled and eight-spider green light sword and the blue dark stone, Li Xuangang asked:
"I wonder how long it will take Uncle Six to complete the refining?"
Li Qingshu asked while checking the quality of the Qingming Stone:
"What? Are you in a hurry?"
Li Xuangang had a wry smile on his face and cracked his mouth.
"Before I came to Sixth Uncle, I was called to the top of the mountain by Eighth Uncle. He arranged for me to take over the new alchemy pavilion opened by the family in Mangshanfang City, and he only gave me two months, so the time may be a little
Hurry.”
After listening to Li Xuangang's explanation, Li Qingshu took his hand back from the Qingming Stone, rubbed his hands together, thought for a moment, and said:
"In that case, let me think about it seriously. Originally, there were some chores during this period, but since you are in a hurry to get Xuangang, I can help you complete the refining first."
After saying this, Li Qingshu paused before speaking carefully:
"Let's do this. After a month and a half, you come here to retrieve your magic weapon."
Li Xuangang looked happy and kept saying thanks, but Li Qingshu waved his hand and replied in a low voice:
"But let me say it first, I cannot guarantee that I can complete the refining in one and a half months. If it is not finished by then, you can take it away first. Or, after I complete the refining, ask the family's caravan to give it to you.
You take it over."
"In addition, this time you only took the main refining material Qingming Stone, and you need other materials to complete the upgrade. Therefore, you need to pay for these materials separately."
"Xuan Gang naturally knows that after one and a half months, I will settle all the expenses to the family."
At the end, I added another sentence.
"If Uncle Six thinks there are any suitable materials that can be added, feel free to add them. Now that Uncle Six is already a second-level weapon refiner, Xuan Gang trusts Uncle Six's vision."
It seemed that these words had an effect. Li Qingshu's mood, which had been disturbed by many chores in the Refining Pavilion, suddenly improved. He showed a smile after a long absence, and he laughed and cursed:
"You kid, don't think that by flattering me, I can refine it faster."
Li Xuangang chuckled and chatted with his sixth uncle Li Qingshu for a while. It was not until the latter started to drive people away that he left the newly opened Weapon Refining Pavilion.
...
After a few more days, Li Xuangang returned to the cave. When he sat cross-legged on the stone bed, it was already night.
Opening the Sancai Spiritual Array, Li Xuangang entered the Jieyuan space.
The large pit in the space where the monster corpses were stored has long been empty, and the remains of the second-level corpse that was thrown in before have also disappeared.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the space has stabilized at the first-order mid-grade.
While walking towards the cave under the rock wall, I was thinking in my mind: If there is no stable source of monster corpses in the future, how should we replenish spiritual energy in the world source space?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a good solution, so Li Xuangang put the matter aside for the time being.
Entering the cave, he rummaged around and took out some jades for tending spiritual plants. The red grass in the fifteen acres of spiritual fields has sprouted. Now is a critical period, so Li Xuangang did not dare to neglect and took care of each plant one by one.
Several hours had passed by the time he had finished tending all the Zhudancao. Although this kind of work was already familiar to him, such a heavy workload still made Li Xuangang very tired.
After applying spiritual rain to all the spiritual plants in the space, Li Xuangang felt a little excited when he saw the results of more than twenty years of hard work.
Nowadays, the Jieyuan space is full of vitality, and it is already equivalent to a small medicine garden.
After looking at it with satisfaction, Li Xuangang walked out of the Jie Yuan space and put away the Jie Yuan Pearl.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and meditated for a while. Then, instead of falling into the cultivation state as he originally planned, he took out the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue, which only had three levels of exercises, from the storage bag.
.
His beautiful fingers traced the outline of the Nine Corpses' Return to Origin, and he was making a crucial decision.
