After hearing Li Xuangang's question, Li Xuankun replied with determination:
"Brother Ninth, don't worry. I'm not a newbie. I definitely won't make fun of my own path. In fact, this decision is the result of my careful consideration."
"Since you have already thought about it, it is not convenient for me to say anything more. After all, this is your own business."
Although he said this, Li Xuangang couldn't help but remind him in the end:
"Having said that, as your brother, I still want to remind you. You also know that in recent years, the clan leader has been reserving resources to prepare for the upgrade of Taiqiu Mountain's spiritual veins. It has stopped three years ago.
It is uncertain how long the worship of all the family monks will continue. This means that we can only rely on doing family tasks or other channels to obtain some spiritual stones, and cultivating a corpse does not cost a lot of resources.
...I'm worried that it will affect your own cultivation speed."
"I have also considered Brother Ninth's concerns. However, Wujiangfang City has been very uneasy recently. The family has decided to send a group of people there. I should be there within half a year. It is close to the Hengduan Mountains and there must be danger.
I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and there is no way to improve my strength in a short period of time. After thinking about it, buying a corpse refining body can be of some use."
Li Xuangang suddenly realized, but he also noticed that Li Xuankun mentioned Wujiangfang City in the Hengduan Mountains.
So I was a little confused:
"Did something happen over there in the Hengduan Mountains?"
"Brother Ninth has been refining elixirs here. I don't know. It's normal. Half a year ago, a beast wave broke out in the Hengduan Mountains. If the Jindan Elder of the Corpse Ghost Sect hadn't arrived in time, Wujiangfang City might have been wiped out."
"However, although Wujiangfang City was saved, many monks who were hunting monsters and collecting spiritual herbs in the Hengduan Mountains still died. Our Li family also sent three tribesmen in. Although the beast wave behind was repulsed,
However, there are still sporadic high-level monsters operating outside the Hengduan Mountains. In order to prevent the beast tide from appearing again, the Corpse Ghost Sect has issued recruitment orders to all major families."
"After hearing this, Li Xuangang suddenly realized that it seems that he has been too addicted to alchemy in the past two years and did not even know that such a big thing happened. The eighth uncle Li Changji must have known about it, but he never talked about it to him.
thing."
...
Afterwards, Li Xuangang and Li Xuankun spent three hundred spirit stones in Yu's store to buy a third-level Qi-refining corpse. The qualifications were average, but of course not as good as the armored corpse in Li Xuangang's hands.
Moreover, this is a refined corpse that has been sacrificed, but the original restrictions on it have been polished away. After Li Xuankun takes it back, he needs to be sacrificed again.
Before leaving, Li Xuangang told Li Xuankun some of his experience in practicing the corpse refining technique, and then took out some Yanggu Pills and gave them to him, saying:
"These are some Yanggu pills that I have saved from refining pills in the past two years. I have already refined the Qi to the sixth level, but they are not suitable for use. In order to exchange for some spiritual stones, I sold most of them. These are the remaining ones.
If there is more, I’ll give it all to you.”
Yang Gu Dan is generally suitable for consumption in the early stage of Qi refining, but most monks in the middle stage of Qi refining have to buy some to assist their practice due to the shortage of spiritual stones. The effect is definitely there, but it is definitely not as good as other suitable spiritual pills.
Li Xuankun did not refuse and accepted silently. His cultivation qualifications were average and he was about the same age as his ninth brother Li Xuangang, but his cultivation level was two levels behind him. His brothers Li Xuantian and Li Xuanyuan were even more incomparable.
In fact, monks like Li Xuankun are the norm in the entire world of cultivation, and most of the monks in the Li family are like this.
After saying goodbye to Li Xuangang, he returned to the Li family's grain store. Tomorrow he will follow the family's caravan back to Mount Taiqiu.
After parting ways with Li Xuankun, Li Xuangang returned to the cave he rented.
First, he opened the storage bag awarded to him by his family. There were about two hundred spiritual stones and some spiritual herbs inside. Li Xuangang took it out and looked at it, and found that most of them were yellow bud grass used to refine the first-level elixir Spring Dew Pill.
In addition, there is a jade tube in the storage bag, which is the jade tube given to him by the clan leader Li Changqing.
Li Xuangang opened the jade tube, and then a slightly majestic voice came out.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Xuangang put the jade tube away uncertainly.
In the summons given to him by the patriarch Li Changqing, he mainly talked about two things. One was to express his joy at his success in becoming an alchemist, and the other was to ask him to return to Taiqiu Mountain within two years. The reason was that the original alchemist of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang's ten
Ninth Aunt Li Qingru is going to be sent to Wujiangfang City in the Hengduan Mountains.
Li Qingru can stay in Taiqiu Mountain for at most two years. Once Li Qingru leaves, Taiqiu Mountain will need an alchemist to replace him. After all, the family consumes a lot of elixirs every month.
In the transmission, the clan leader Li Changqing did not mention why he had to send the alchemist Li Qingru to Wujiangfang City, but Li Xuangang guessed that there might be a last resort reason.
According to what the tenth brother Li Xuankun said, Wujiangfang City is an extremely dangerous place at this stage, and it is impossible for the clan leader to choose to send an alchemist in the Qi refining stage there at such a time. After all, the alchemist is against
The family plays an important role. If something unexpected happens in Wujiangfang City, it will be a big blow to the family.
Li Xuangang thought for a moment and felt that the most likely possibility was that the Corpse Ghost Sect had issued a specific recruitment order to forcibly recruit alchemists from various affiliated families.
Originally there were three alchemists in the Li family. Among them, the eighth uncle Li Changji was a second-level alchemist and stayed in Binhaifang City all year round. The nineteenth aunt Li Qingru was a first-level alchemist and usually stayed on Taiqiu Mountain to refine Yanggu Dan and Chun for the family.
Lu Dan, the thirteenth uncle Li Qingtian is also an alchemist, responsible for family affairs in Tianhefang City, and also refines alchemy in the family alchemy pavilion in Tianhefang City.
The clan leader's summons this time somewhat disrupted Li Xuangang's cultivation plan. Originally, he planned to stay in Binhaifang City to learn alchemy from his eighth uncle Li Changji. After all, in the hands of a second-level alchemist with many years of experience, his alchemy skills
Can improve faster.
However, the clan leader had made it clear that he must rush back to Taiqiu Mountain within two years, so Li Xuangang decided to adjust his plan.
Two years have not been able to make any substantial improvement in his alchemy skills, because what Li Xuangang lacks most now is experience, that is, he has not made alchemy often enough, and he definitely does not have that much material to support it in Binhaifang City.
I make alchemy by myself, but when I return to Taiqiu Mountain, if I entrust the alchemy task of Nineteenth Aunt Li Qingru to me, I will definitely accumulate a lot of experience in alchemy, and my own alchemy skills will definitely improve a lot.
Thinking of this, Li Xuangang also considered that since he had not improved his alchemy skills by staying in Binhaifang City in the past two years, but returned to the family to have many opportunities for alchemy, and he could also save the spiritual stones for renting the cave, then
Why don't you go back to Taiqiu Mountain now?
But this idea only existed in Li Xuangang's mind for a moment before he abandoned it.
There are three reasons. The term of the cave he rented is two years later. If he leaves now, the Corpse Ghost Sect will not refund his spirit stone. Furthermore, the clan leader did not mention the specific time of Nineteenth Aunt’s departure in the transmission.
If he went back early, he would at most give himself part of the tasks. Finally, after Li Xuangang had been refining alchemy for two consecutive years, he felt that his alchemy skills had reached a bottleneck and he should not be able to break through in a short time. If he stayed here for the past two years,
Practicing in this cave is just a good way to calm down your state of mind, which may be more beneficial to improving your alchemy skills in the future.
After thinking about these stakes, Li Xuangang left the cave and went straight to Baicao Pavilion without any further delay.
After telling his eighth uncle Li Changji his plan, Li Changji agreed to his request not to come to alchemy for the next two years.
When leaving, I exchanged the spiritual stones that my family had rewarded me with for some Spring Dew Pills.
After that, Li Xuangang went to Yu's shop to buy some evil spirits.
This time he planned to retreat for a long time, so he bought all the spring dew pills for cultivation and the evil spirit to cultivate the corpse.
When Li Xuangang returned to the cave, the newly filled storage bag became deflated again, and there were very few spiritual stones left in it.
"Fortunately, I have the reward from my family this time, otherwise I would really have no spiritual stones."
Li Xuangang mocked himself and let out a chuckle.
After settling everything, Li Xuangang entered the state of cultivation again.
As he breathed Jin Geng Wu Xiang Jue, the spiritual energy in the cave gathered together. After entering Li Xuangang's body, it followed specific meridians and finally merged into his Dantian. At this time, his Dantian had been
The spiritual energy storage is about 60% full. Now, because of Li Xuangang's practice, more and more spiritual energy is being replenished bit by bit, and it is constantly accumulating.
...
Just when Li Xuangang was sinking into cultivation, Li Changqing stood on a huge rock at the top of Taiqiu Mountain, overlooking the entire Taiqiu Mountain below.
This is the place with the strongest aura in the entire Taiqiu Mountain, and it can accommodate three foundation-building monks to practice at the same time.
The mountain wind mixed with a trace of spiritual energy blew from a very far distance, blowing Li Changqing's long hair and clothes. This mountain wind was very gentle, making Li Changqing's originally frowning brows relax a little.
The fifth and youngest Foundation Establishment monk of the Li family, Li Qinghuan, who was the third in the Qing generation, was standing aside.
"Uncle Wu, the news has been found. The man is in the Hengduan Mountains."
Li Changqing turned his head, looked at Li Qinghuan, and said:
"Is the news confirmed?"
Li Qinghuan replied: "It was passed back by the tribesmen we sent there. They have the portrait we sent, so they should not admit their mistake."
Li Changqing nodded, looking calm.
"In that case, you can arrange the rest of the things. We will go to Wujiangfang City with the team of monks who responded to the Corpse Sect's recruitment order in two years, and we will avoid attracting attention by then."
"Yes, patriarch."
Then Li Qinghuan clasped his fists and said goodbye, then walked down the mountain from the top of Taiqiu Mountain.
When they reached the mountainside, there were no longer any restrictions on the mountain guarding formation, so Li Qinghuan stood up with his sword, turned into a ray of light, and left Taiqiu Mountain.
"After nearly five years of planning, whether Taiqiu Mountain can make further progress depends on this one move."
With this thought in his mind, Li Qinghuan's mouth curved slightly.
At this moment, no one in the entire Li family knew where he had gone except the patriarch Li Changqing.
Li Changji watched as the light that Li Qinghuan transformed into gradually disappeared from his field of vision, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and he sighed silently.
