Five days later, Li Xuangang and Zheng Da were sitting in the cave in the Jieyuan space.
He had also opened several storage bags belonging to casual cultivator Yang Jian, and took out a lot of miscellaneous things from them.
Putting together several storage bags, a total of more than 9,000 spirit stones were found. For Li Xuangang, this was an unexpected surprise.
These spiritual stones were originally intended to be used by Yang Jian to buy the Foundation Building Pills for himself, but he didn't expect that they would actually give him an advantage in the end.
Zhengda packed these spiritual stones in wooden boxes one after another, and then placed them neatly in the cave.
From Yang Jian's storage bag, in addition to the spirit stones, Li Xuangang also found a simple jade tube. When he invaded his spiritual consciousness, he found that it contained an article called Qi Zang Jue.
Breathing technique.
After thinking about it for a moment, he guessed that this breathing technique was probably what Yang Jian relied on to sneak into his vicinity before.
Li Xuangang only took a cursory look at this Qi Hidden Technique and discovered many subtleties in it, which aroused some of his interest.
However, now was not the perfect time to learn about this breathing technique. He handed the jade tube to Zhengda, who carefully stored it on the wooden shelf.
In addition to these things, Li Xuangang also got Yang Jian's second-grade low-grade golden flywheel, and a second-grade low-grade black water shield.
He put the black water shield into his storage bag, and the golden flywheel was of no use for the time being, so he stored it casually in the cave.
As for the remaining fragmentary items, Li Xuangang poured them all into the large pit in the Jieyuan space.
After more than six years of continuous investment of waste mines into the Jieyuan space, the concentration of spiritual energy in the space has now reached the first level of high quality.
Li Xuangang walked out of the cave and casually strolled around the spiritual fields where red red grass was planted. He still felt a little regretful.
He originally thought that the spiritual energy concentration in the space could successfully enter the second-level low-grade, but he failed in the end.
Second-level spiritual veins are indeed not that easy to cultivate!
Moreover, going to the Zombie Sect's mines to dig for minerals doesn't work for a long time. It's easy for people to find out the clues, and it also delays the normal cultivation time.
...
After obtaining these more than 9,000 spirit stones from Yang Jian, the number of spirit stones that Li Xuangang now possesses has far exceeded the resources that can be exchanged for foundation-building pills. Moreover, he considers that going to the mines of the Corpse Sect will increase the risk of being discovered.
.
So for the next time, he was ready to stay in Mangshanfang City, waiting for the eight-year period with the clan leader Li Changqing to come, and then leave to return to Taiqiu Mountain.
After leaving the Jieyuan space, Li Xuangang left Zheng Da inside and ordered him to continue to practice and take care of spiritual plants in the space.
Returning to the cave in the alchemy pavilion, Li Xuangang put away the Jie Yuan Pearl, walked to the alchemy furnace and sat down.
He paused for a moment to empty his mind, and then took out the fire source stone from his storage bag.
In the next few months, he will do his best to increase the rate of red jade pills to become pills, and strive to successfully enter the ranks of second-level alchemists before returning to Taiqiu Mountain.
The Zhudan grass that Li Xuangang used to refine the ruby elixir was harvested by Zhengda in the Jieyuan space, so he didn't have to worry about the materials for refining the elixir in a short period of time.
After preheating the alchemy furnace, Li Xuangang skillfully put in the Zhu Dancao and other auxiliary medicines.
Before devoting himself wholeheartedly to refining the elixir, he thought of one regret, that is, after spending a lot of materials, Zhengda still failed to refine even one elixir.
It wasn't until Li Xuangang was sure that Zheng Da really had no talent for alchemy that he no longer forced him to continue practicing alchemy.
But strangely enough, although Zheng Da is not good at refining alchemy, he has a very high talent for spiritual plants. Now all the spiritual plants in the Jieyuan space are taken care of in an orderly manner by him.
...
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed. After spending countless amounts of Zhudan grass, Li Xuangang finally stabilized the red jade pill's elixir formation rate at 40%, which also meant that he became the third second in the family.
Level alchemist.
Three years ago, his thirteenth uncle Li Qingtian broke through to the second-level alchemy level before him in Tianhefang City.
After walking out of the cave, Li Xuangang called Li Yuxian out, handed him a storage bag he had prepared, and said:
"Here are the Spring Dew Pills I have refined during this period. I believe it is enough to support the alchemy pavilion for a year. After one year, the family will bring some Spring Dew Pills from other places. You can consider each one by yourself then.
Monthly sales volume.”
After hearing what Li Xuangang told him, Li Yuxian asked:
"Is Uncle Jiu ready to return to Taiqiu Mountain?"
Smiling and patting Li Yuxian on the shoulder, Li Xuangang turned and left.
"In the past few years since I've been away, don't slack off in your alchemy skills. After the Yang Gu Dan's elixir formation rate stabilizes at the eighth level, you can start practicing the Spring Dew Dan!"
Li Yuxian waved goodbye behind him.
"Yu Xian remembers Uncle Jiu's instructions."
After leaving the Alchemy Pavilion, Li Xuangang went to the grain store to look for his fifteenth brother Li Xuanshan, but found in the store a newly sent clan member from the family. Through him, Li Xuangang knew that Li Xuanshan was practicing in seclusion in the cave in the backyard.
Since he didn't see it, Li Xuangang didn't force it. He asked this tribesman to inform him when he waited for Li Xuanshan to leave the customs, and then walked towards the outside of Mangshanfang City.
There, the family's caravan was waiting for him.
When he came here eight years ago, Mangshanfang City only had five streets. Now when he left, it had expanded to seven.
Sitting on the back of the turtle beast, Li Xuangang looked at the city of Mangshanfang that was gradually disappearing. He knew that the next period would be his most important period. Whether he could take a further step on the road depended on his return to Taiqiu Mountain.
encounter.
...
On the way back to Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang had been thinking about what to do with the black marble mines he had stored in the Jieyuan space in the past few years.
If based on the current price in the market, the value of the black marble mines that Li Xuangang and Zheng Da "stole" was already close to 30,000 spirit stones. This was a huge sum of money that he could not give up.
If we want to continue to cultivate Zombie Guards in the future, we will undoubtedly need to invest more resources.
But how to sell so much black stone ore is a slightly difficult problem for him.
Along the way, Li Xuangang thought of several ways, but they had to wait until he entered the foundation-building stage to implement them.
A month later, he returned to Taiqiu Mountain.
He got off the back of the turtle beast, greeted the tribesman in charge of the caravan, and walked toward the top of Taiqiu Mountain alone.
While walking in the mountains, he found that the spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain had actually improved again. According to his estimation, it had reached the third-level mid-level.
Since the fifth uncle Li Changqing took over the family affairs again, it seems that the family's various industries have begun to develop rapidly. Binhaifang City, Wujiangfang City, Tianhefang City, Mangshanfang City and the Lingshan stronghold on the Hengduan Mountains are all constantly coming to
Taiqiu Mountain transports various resources.
In fact, not long after Li Xuangang left Mangshanfang City, Li Changqing sent Li Xuanyuan, who had stabilized the realm of foundation building, to Mangshanfang City.
As for why, except for the clan leaders Li Changqing and Li Xuanyuan, no other clan members knew.
Almost as soon as Li Xuangang left Mangshanfang City, Li Xuanyuan flew into the sphere of influence of Mangshanfang City.
Arriving at the family's alchemy pavilion, Li Xuanyuan was still dressed as before.
His long hair was draped behind his head and tied casually with a piece of cloth. His eyes were half-squinted and his expression was dull. Although he was wearing the same black mysterious clothes, he always had a sense of being out of the world that did not exist in other Li clan members.
When Li Xuanyuan arrived, Li Yuxian was organizing the shelves behind the counter. When he noticed someone's presence approaching, he turned around suddenly, only to find that the tribesman in front of him was very unfamiliar to him.
It's no wonder that Li Xuanyuan spent almost his entire Qi refining career in seclusion, so most of the clan members of the Yu generation have never seen him.
Although he was not sure, Li Yuxian still saluted hesitantly:
"Yuxian pays homage to Uncle Thirteen."
Li Xuanyuan was a little surprised. He glanced at Li Yuxian who was bowing with his flat eyes and said calmly:
"Is Ninth Brother here?"
When Li Yuxian heard this, he knew that his guess was correct. The man in front of him was indeed the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan, the most talented among the Xuan generation members of the family.
Although I have never seen him before, the aura about him that far surpasses that of Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang cannot be faked.
Hearing Li Xuanyuan asking about Uncle Jiu's situation, Li Yuxian straightened up and replied respectfully:
"Thirteenth Uncle, Ninth Uncle just left for Taiqiu Mountain five days ago."
Li Xuanyuan nodded without looking anything strange. He walked towards the backyard and said:
"follow me."
Li Yuxian hurriedly followed Li Xuanyuan and lifted the curtain in front of him for him, and then the two of them walked to the backyard.
Not long after Li Xuanyuan entered the backyard, a beam of light flew down from the top of Mangshan Mountain.
This escaping light stopped in front of the Li family's alchemy pavilion, and then transmitted a message inside:
"But Fellow Daoist Li Xuanyuan from Taiqiu Mountain is here?"
