A month later, Li Changqing returned from Qingyuan Mountain.
He sent a message crane to Li Xuangang's cave, and then sat down at the stone table under the third-order spiritual peach tree.
After a while, Li Xuangang walked out of the cave. When he saw Li Changqing beside the stone table, he bowed and said:
"Fifth uncle."
Li Changqing nodded and motioned for him to come and sit down too.
After Li Xuangang also sat down, he slowly said:
"Xuan Gang, take more than ten clansmen who are in the late stage of Qi refining and go to Mangshanfang City. I have discussed the mineral veins there with Wang Yanfan, the patriarch of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain. There are still some monsters in there. This time we and
The Wang family and the casual cultivators in Mangshanfang City each sent some manpower to clean up the inside."
"When the veins can be mined, we will take 20% of them."
Hearing this, Li Xuangang was a little confused, so he asked:
"Fifth Uncle, according to the agreement, the family occupies 30% of Mangshanfang City, so shouldn't this mine also hold 30%?"
Li Changqing smiled and then explained to him via voice transmission.
After listening, he understood the reason. He thought to himself: If the final goal can be achieved, it would be worthwhile to give up this 10% of the mineral vein.
He also recognized the actions of the patriarch Li Changqing, so he replied:
"Since the fifth uncle has made the arrangements, Xuan Gang can just go and implement them."
Li Changqing has always been very dignified, and he handles family affairs very boldly. He also arranges some tasks for the clan very reasonably, and he has great prestige among the whole clan.
For Li Xuangang, of course, it is no exception.
Having just received the mission from his fifth uncle Li Changqing, he was preparing to select clan members to go to Mangshanfang City.
Before leaving, Li Changqing gave him the family's small flying boat, the Heisen Flying Boat, and told him to go back quickly, preferably before the profit distribution period for the five major families in Tianhefang City in ten days.
Finally, he said: "I have placed a family ban on this Hessian flying boat. You can drive it with your elder token."
Li Xuangang showed a look of understanding on his face, raised his hands and said:
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, I will definitely rush back to Taiqiu Mountain within ten days."
Li Changqing said:
"Go ahead and be careful!"
"As commanded."
...
Afterwards, Li Xuangang took ten clansmen who were in the late stage of Qi refining on the Heisen flying boat and prepared to go to Mangshanfang City.
The Black Forest flying boat brought back from Li Meng Island by the third uncle Li Qinghuan was eight feet long and black in color. There were some fine black snake scales on both sides of the flying boat. It could carry up to twenty-five monks.
When Li Xuangang took it out of the storage bag, the tribesmen following him all let out an exclamation.
Although I had known that the family had a flying boat of their own before, I had only watched it from a distance a few times, and this was my first time riding on it.
Li Xuangang took the lead and flew inside the Heisen flying boat, inspected it, and then called the rest of the tribe to come up.
This Hessian flying boat, which was refined from the third-level mid-grade monster Blackssian Python, needed spirit stones to drive it. After Li Xuangang embedded the spirit stones in according to the holes left inside, the entire flying boat began to vibrate.
Seeing this, Li Xuangang calmly recited the magic formula and began to control the Hessen flying boat.
After a while, the Hessen flying boat turned into a fast black escaping light, departing from Mount Taiqiu and flying towards Mangshanfang City in the north.
Due to the effectiveness of the Hessen flying boat, the strong energy brought by the high-speed movement cannot reach the Li clan members inside the boat. The strong energy is automatically divided to both sides by the light curtain produced by the Hessian flying boat.
Li Xuangang felt the speed of his movement and found that the Heisen flying boat was almost twice as fast as his escape technique.
And as long as there is a supply of spiritual stones, it can keep flying, unlike monks, which will slow down its flight due to the consumption of spiritual energy.
The rest of the Li clan, including Li Xuanshan, were excitedly lying on the side of the Hessen flying boat and looking out.
They only had cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, so this was their first time being able to move in the air, so they were inevitably a little excited.
Looking down from the Hessen flying boat, everything underneath became smaller. They could even see the monks turned into black dots underneath.
Turning his head, Li Xuanshan asked Li Xuangang, who was operating the Black Forest Flying Boat:
"Brother Ninth, did you feel the same way when you turned into a light and flew?"
When Li Xuangang heard Li Xuanshan's inquiry, he turned his head, smiled, and said:
"Of course it's not as comfortable as flying on a flying boat. When monks in the foundation-building stage transform into escaping light and fly, they not only have to endure the strong wind caused by high-speed movement, but ordinary monks in the foundation-building stage can't reach the speed of a flying boat."
...
No matter how novel the scene is, you will get tired of it. Within half an hour, the ten Li clan members on the Heisen flying boat retracted their heads from the side of the boat and began to sit cross-legged on the boat body to relax.
This time, I went to carry out a mission to the mines in Mangshanfang City, and there was originally no place for Li Xuanshan.
However, it happened that the turtle caravan was returning to the family for repairs in the past few days, which gave Li Xuanshan a chance to rest.
And he is a person who likes novelty. After hearing that Li Xuangang announced the mission to Mangshanfang City, and that he was going on the family's only flying boat, he shamelessly asked for a spot from Li Xuangang.
Li Xuangang saw that he had reached the ninth level of Qi refining and was strong enough to protect himself, so he agreed.
...
The speed of the Hessen Flying Boat was indeed not comparable to Li Xuangang's escape skills. It only took him three days to rush from Taiqiu Mountain to Mangshanfang City.
But this time they did not enter the streets of Mangshanfang City, but crossed the entire Mangshan Mountain and stopped on the top of a peak on its northwest side.
When all the clan members got off the Heisen flying boat, Li Xuangang put the Heisen flying boat into the storage bag with a wave of his hand.
As for the tribesmen who came down early, they were already standing, with the same black mysterious clothes fluttering in the wind, putting a lot of pressure on the group of casual cultivators in front of them.
This is the place where clan leader Li Changqing and the others agreed to meet with the foundation-building casual cultivators from Mangshanfang City. Therefore, when Li Xuangang and the others arrived here, more than ten casual cultivators from Mangshanfang City were already waiting here.
The leader among them was Zhao Fengshan, whom Li Xuangang had met before.
Seeing Li Xuangang put away the flying boat and walked out of the crowd, Zhao Fengshan also closed the distance between himself and Li Xuangang, cupped his hands and said:
"In just a few years, Fellow Daoist Li has already achieved foundation-building cultivation. He is worthy of being a child of a big family, with extraordinary talent."
Hearing Zhao Fengshan's compliments, Li Xuangang waved his hand and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Liao Zan, thanks to the protection of the clan, I was able to enter the foundation-building realm by luck. How can I have the strength to enter the foundation-building realm alone like fellow Taoist Zhao."
Zhao Fengshan smiled and was about to say something when another small flying boat flew over from a distance.
After landing, more than ten people from the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain also came down from above.
The leader was named Wang Zhirong. He was tall and thin, dressed in white. Like Li Xuangang, he was generally in the early stages of foundation building.
At this point, everyone involved in this operation was here, so Zhao Fengshan pulled Li Xuangang and Wang Zhirong aside and began to discuss the specific arrangements for this operation.
As for the other Qi Refining Stage monks, they are still standing there, each waiting for the final result.
Zhao Fengshan took out a map from his storage bag, spread it on a stone in front of the three of them, then pointed to a red dot on it and said:
"This is where we found the second-grade low-grade copper concentrate, less than fifty miles away from Mangshanfang City. We also found a group of mountain spirits inside, well... there are probably hundreds of them.
If we want to go in and mine the copper concentrate inside, we must eliminate all the mountain spirits inside during this operation."
"As for the specific action plan, since I detected that the copper concentrate is located at the bottom of a cave, and that cave has three entrances to enter, we might as well divide into three groups and deal with the mountain elves we encounter along the way.
, and finally gathered at the bottom of the cave.”
After saying that, Zhao Fengshan raised his head, looked at Li Xuangang and Wang Zhirong and asked, "What do you two fellow Taoists think?"
Li Xuangang looked at the map for a moment and said:
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhao has already investigated this place, and his cultivation level is higher than that of me and Fellow Daoist Wang, then I will follow Fellow Daoist Zhao's arrangements."
Wang Zhirong on the side also raised his hand and said: "Since the two fellow Taoists have agreed, I have no objection."
Zhao Fengshan put away the map and said simply:
"Since both fellow Taoists agree with Zhao's arrangement, we should set off for this place sooner rather than later."
Since this mountain peak is not far from where the copper concentrate is located, they did not use a flying boat this time, but chose to walk there.
About three hours later, more than thirty monks arrived in front of a large mountain.
Looking around the surrounding environment, everyone in the Li family silently began to be on guard.
Li Xuangang looked forward from the crowd and found that this place was exactly what Zhao Fengshan said, with three cave entrances leading to the ground.
According to the previous arrangement, Zhao Fengshan, Li Xuangang, and Wang Zhirong simply discussed it, and then each led their own team to choose a cave entrance to enter.
Entering the cave entrance, Li Xuangang walked at the front. While exploring the way, he reminded the tribesmen behind him:
"Although it is unlikely that high-level mountain spirits will appear outside the cave, we still need to be vigilant to prevent anyone from being injured due to negligence."
Upon hearing Li Xuangang's reminder, everyone in the Li family also took out their magic weapons and held them in their hands, preparing for any encounter that might occur at any time.
