More than a month later, Li Changqing, the patriarch of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, came to Mangshanfang City in person.
Also coming with him was the current patriarch of Qingyuan Mountain, Wang Yansheng.
The arrival of the two peak foundation-building monks caused a stir among the casual cultivators in Mangshanfang City, because the two of them did not walk on the ground, but directly transformed into two escaping lights and rushed to the top of Mangshan Mountain.
.
That is where the caves of three foundation-building casual cultivators in Mangshanfang City are located. Since the news had been received in advance, the protective array on Mangshan Mountain was not opened. This is why Li Changqing and Wang Yanfan were able to fly directly into Mangshan Mountain.
Several foundation-building monks talked for a long time on the top of Mangshan Mountain. On the second day, Mangshanfang City was announced to be jointly owned by the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain, the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain, and the original three casual cultivators.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately shocked those forces who had plans for Mangshanfang City.
This means that if they still want to make plans, they have to consider the attitudes of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain and the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
And these two families are obviously not easy to mess with. These two families probably feel that there are too many people even in Mangshanfang City, which is shared by the three forces. How can they allow other forces to interfere again.
...
"Xuan Gang pays homage to the fifth uncle."
"Yuxian pays homage to his uncle."
Li Changqing was sitting on a stone bench in the backyard of the Alchemy Pavilion. Li Xuangang took Li Yuxian to salute him.
After settling the issue of ownership of Mangshanfang City, Li Changqing was originally going to set off back to Taiqiu Mountain immediately, but suddenly remembered something, so he delayed for a while and first came to the Alchemy Pavilion where Li Xuangang was located.
"The share of Mangshanfang City has been determined. The Wang family accounts for 50% and we account for 30%. The daily order is still managed by Zhao Fengshan and the three casual cultivators. Xuangang, you are the clan member with the highest cultivation level here, so every year
Dongfu, you need to pay attention to the profit sharing of the store rent."
"At the end of the year, a caravan from the family will come to settle accounts."
Li Xuangang heard the order and replied:
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, Xuan Gang has taken note of it!"
Li Changqing's white hair attracted special attention. It was the first time for Li Yuxian to see the head of the family, so he couldn't help but take a few secret glances.
In the dead of winter, several trees in the backyard were bare. Against this background, he felt that the patriarch was inexplicably desolate, but he didn't know where his feeling came from.
Naturally, Li Yuxian's gaze could not escape Li Changqing's perception. The latter smiled at him and said:
"The third-largest Yuxian in the Jade generation?"
Li Yuxian replied with a hint of shyness:
"Yes, uncle."
Li Changqing asked him to straighten up and continued to speak:
"Your Ninth Uncle's alchemy skills are pretty good. You need to practice hard. In the future, the family will definitely need more alchemists to refine the elixirs needed for the clan's cultivation."
"Yu Xian has memorized my uncle's teachings. I will definitely practice alchemy with my uncle Jiu."
"It's good to have this heart. When you officially become an alchemist, your family will give you an incentive. Now I have something to tell your uncle Jiu. Yuxian, you go to the lobby first."
Li Yuxian cupped his hands again and saluted:
"Uncle, Uncle Ninth, Na Yuxian is leaving."
After saying that, he walked out of the backyard and entered the lobby.
After Li Yuxian left, Li Xuangang asked softly:
"I wonder what the fifth uncle's orders are?"
Faced with Li Xuangang's inquiry, Li Changqing did not answer immediately, but calmly took out a jade box from his storage bag, in which there was a "stone" glowing red.
He handed it to Li Xuangang.
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Xuangang's face, and he solemnly took it from Li Changqing's hand.
"This first-grade low-grade fire source stone was found by your seventh uncle from Wujiangfang City not long ago, and then sent back to Taiqiu Mountain. I thought about it and found that your alchemy pavilion does not have such a thing, so
I’ll leave it here for you to use for the time being.”
Holding the jade box containing the fire source stone in his hand, Li Xuangang said slightly excitedly:
"Thank you, fifth uncle."
With this fire source stone, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient for him to make alchemy, and there is no need to constantly store a large amount of spiritual carbon in the alchemy pavilion.
Although this fire source stone is still the family's property in name, for Li Xuangang, this is no longer important. In fact, the action of the patriarch Li Changqing is equivalent to the family giving this fire source stone to him for use.
Li Changqing felt Li Xuangang's current cultivation level, and then said:
"Xuan Gang, how many years have you been at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
"Fifth uncle, it's been almost five years."
After pondering for a while, Li Changqing continued:
"In about eight years, the family will have at least two Foundation Establishment Pills, and if you are lucky, there may be three. If you can save 11,000 points of family contribution by then, you can return to the family to exchange for one of them."
Hearing this, Li Xuangang felt a little excited, but at the same time he also had some doubts. He did not show it, but answered respectfully:
"Xuan Gang will do his best."
After glancing at Li Xuangang lightly, Li Changqing stood up, patted his shoulder, turned around and took a few steps, then jumped into the air, turned into a blue shield of light, and flew towards Taiqiu Mountain.
After Li Changqing left, Li Xuangang put away the fire source stone in his hand and headed to his cave.
Although he had just been sent by his family to Mangshanfang City to take charge of affairs, there were too many things happening at once, and the various information that came to him was too complicated, and he needed time to sort it out.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, he thought about the fire source stone in the storage bag. He was still happy because it was one of the items he wanted to get most.
When he was refining alchemy in Wujiangfang City, he was so greedy for the fire source stone that the Corpse Ghost Sect provided to all the alchemists.
He never expected that the family would actually prepare a piece for him now.
Moreover, what surprised him even more was that within two months of his arrival, 30% of Mangshanfang City had actually become his family's property.
Of course, Li Xuangang also knew that this was not a coincidence. His eighth uncle Li Changji had probably already made a plan, and the three casual cultivators here in the foundation-building period did not have a better choice. Such a result was actually what he had expected.
.
Li Xuangang just didn't expect this to happen so quickly.
Finally, he thought of the Foundation Establishment Pill mentioned by his fifth uncle Li Changqing just now, and his brows furrowed.
In fact, after he entered the ninth level of Qi Refining, he considered the issue of the Foundation Establishment Pill. But as far as he knew, the family could usually obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill from the outside world every once in a while.
But just now, the fifth uncle said with such certainty that in eight years' time, the family would most likely have three.
This was the confusion that arose when he heard this. He really couldn't figure out where the two extra coins came from.
Could it be that the family discovered the source of the new Foundation Building Pill? Li Xuangang guessed this.
After thinking for a while, without any clue, Li Xuangang stopped thinking about it.
Eleven thousand points of family contribution is not a small amount, and he only has eight years to earn it.
If there are not so many by then, it is very likely that this Foundation Establishment Pill will be exchanged by other clan members, and I will have to wait until the next time the family obtains the Foundation Establishment Pill, or like the original third uncle Li Qinghuan, I will rely on my strength and
Chance to get one from outside.
In fact, it is not impossible to break through to the foundation building stage without the foundation building pill, but the chance of successfully breaking the mirror will be smaller. This is the method that Li Xuangang will consider when he has no other choice.
Everything had been sorted out, and Li Xuangang felt very relaxed. He called Li Yuxian back in from the lobby and said to him:
"In the past two months since I came here, I have had to deal with the sundries in the Alchemy Pavilion and quickly refine some inventory, so I haven't had time to teach you. Now that things are almost settled, I will show you how to refine the elixir.
The technique is so impressive to you."
Li Yuxian nodded and stood aside.
Li Xuangang took out the fire source stone and used the fire source stone belonging to his family to make elixirs for the first time.
This time he was refining Yang Gu Dan. While refining it, he also explained the key points to Li Yuxian.
After finishing the furnace, he took out an unqualified alchemy furnace from his storage bag, which was given to him by his eighth uncle Li Changji.
Now he handed it to Li Yuxian.
"From now on, you will use this alchemy furnace to try to refine Yanggu Dan. Forty materials will be provided to you every month. If there is anything you don't understand during the alchemy process, you can write it down. I will open the furnace to refine the alchemy every two months.
Ask me again later. As for the prescription of Yanggu Dan, I believe you have already obtained it in Taiqiu Mountain, so I will not record a copy for you."
"Yes, Uncle Jiu."
Holding the alchemy furnace that Li Xuangang gave him, Li Yuxian saluted somewhat awkwardly.
He thought to himself: He could finally make alchemy to his heart's content.
He had studied under Li Changji and Han Yuru before, but the family's conditions at that time did not allow him to squander alchemy materials wantonly.
Although he has refined elixirs, the current elixir yield rate of Yang Gu Dan is only 10%, which is still a long way from the 40% elixir yield rate of becoming an alchemist.
With forty materials per month, Li Yuxian is confident enough to stabilize the elixir-making rate at 40% within a year. After all, he has practiced alchemy for many years.
Seeing Li Yuxian's excitement brimming with emotion, Li Xuangang also sighed. He remembered that when he was learning alchemy from his eighth uncle Li Changji, his family could only provide twenty materials per month. Now, the family can already provide them to his clan members.
Forty copies.
In the past few decades, the development of Taiqiu Mountain can be seen here.
