The moonlight is quiet, and there are still many members of the Li family on Taiqiu Mountain inspecting spiritual plants in the medicinal gardens between the mountains.
Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyuan walked along a path paved with bluestones, with lush trees on both sides of the road.
When he met the tribesmen near the medicine garden, he paused briefly and nodded in response to their salutes.
"I've met Uncle Ninth, I've met Uncle Thirteen!"
"I've met Ninth Brother, I've met Thirteenth Brother!"
When the two of them walked through the ancestral hall and headed towards the Shanggong Hall, they didn't meet any clan members since there were no medicine gardens around.
At this time, Li Xuangang also continued to talk to Li Xuanyuan. He took the four simple storage bags in his hands, and then said:
"Xuanyuan, are you sure you have seen a restriction similar to this!"
Li Xuanyuan smiled, and then a gentle voice came out:
"Brother Ninth, don't worry. I have indeed seen the restrictions on these four storage bags by chance before."
"Then are you sure you can open it?"
"Well...it may not work, but you can try."
Li Xuangang was actually quite curious about the contents of these four storage bags. Seeing that his fifth uncle could not open them, he originally planned to try his luck in the library, but now that Li Xuanyuan said he could give it a try,
Therefore, Li Xuangang simply gave him all four storage bags and asked him to try them out.
Li Xuanyuan took the storage bag, briefly checked it with his spiritual consciousness, then put it away and said:
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother, whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a conclusion within a month."
Li Xuangang nodded, and then asked him about the family's situation in recent years.
On the top of the mountain just now, Fifth Uncle and the others were discussing some important family matters, and now he wanted to know more details.
However, Li Xuanyuan disappointed him, because during the years when he went to Limeng Island and later to the Wanxing Islands, Li Xuanyuan rarely stayed in Taiqiu Mountain.
After Li Xuanyuan broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, he stayed in Mangshanfang City and rarely came back.
This time, he had accumulated enough and was preparing to retreat into the later stages of foundation building before returning to the family from Mangshanfang City.
Therefore, Li Xuangang stopped asking, and the two briefly chatted about the rest. However, since they were not talkative people, they said goodbye to each other at a fork in the road after walking for a while.
Li Xuanyuan returned to the cave, while Li Xuangang continued to walk to Shanggong Hall.
...
About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Xuangang had arrived at the family charity hall.
He stepped inside and immediately discovered that the family's charity hall was much larger than when he left, and there were more family tasks assigned to it in the lobby.
He looked at the rows of tall wooden shelves directly in front of the lobby, which were densely filled with jade tubes.
Each jade tube represents a family mission.
The moment he appeared in the Shanggong Hall, more than ten tribesmen inside turned to look at him.
Immediately, someone recognized his identity, so they all bowed and saluted, saying in unison:
"I've met Uncle Jiu!"
Li Xuangang responded with a smile and nodded, and continued walking inside.
Perhaps it was because he had basically stayed outside since he established the foundation, but he didn't know any of the Jade clan members in the lobby.
When he got closer to see what kind of tasks the family had issued, he realized that one of the clan members had been staring at him, so he turned his head and waved him over.
When the latter saw it, he trotted to his side and spoke again:
"Yu Jie has met Uncle Jiu."
"How long did it take to enter the mountain?"
"Uncle Ninth, I came to the mountain six years ago, ranked fifty-third in the Jade generation, and now I am learning to take care of Lingzhi from my third brother."
As if he was afraid that Li Xuangang would not understand him, Li Yujie explained his situation in one breath.
Li Xuangang smiled and said:
"It has been six years since I broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. I have a good talent. From now on, I will stop being impatient and practice in my family with peace of mind."
Li Yujie bowed and said with a childish tone:
"I will follow Uncle Nine's teachings."
Just when he was still about to say something, another figure had already come out of the side room of Shanggong Hall.
When he saw Li Xuangang, he was a little surprised for the first time. Then he walked over quickly and said as he walked:
"I've met Uncle Jiu!"
His voice is crisp, his figure is thin, his hair is as long as a waterfall, and his height is almost as high as Li Xuangang's neck.
It was Li Yuqian, the fifth-ranked member of the Yu family, and after Li Yujie saluted, she sent him aside.
Li Xuangang saw that the latter was now at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and a smile appeared on his face.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It seems that your cultivation has not declined over the years."
Li Yuqian smiled sheepishly:
"Nine Uncle Miao praised me. My eldest brother has already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining a year ago. My little cultivation level...is really not worth mentioning."
When he first heard the news, Li Xuangang was still a little surprised.
His mind suddenly flashed back to the scene where he and Li Yuheng were reading together in the library decades ago.
An uncle and a nephew, two wooden chairs, two volumes of classics, and the sun shines just a foot away from their feet!
After he came to his senses, he responded to Li Yuqian.
In fact, Li Xuangang knew that Li Yuheng was very talented and might be the most talented person in his family for hundreds of years, but he really didn't expect that he could reach the ninth level of Qi refining so quickly.
This level of cultivation has even surpassed that of many clan members ranked lower in the Xuan generation.
...
Later, from Li Yuqian's chirping narration, Li Xuangang learned that she was currently working in the Shanggong Hall. Since the eighth uncle had often come to the warehouse in recent years, she was also working for him.
Li Xuankun, who is ranked tenth in the Xuan generation, and Li Yuheng are both at the Lingshan stronghold in the Hengduan Mountains, where the fourth uncle Li Qingjing is in charge.
Li Yuqian was still talking, and Li Xuangang listened quietly. It wasn't until a black figure came to them that the former stopped, raised his hands and saluted:
"Yu Qian has met my uncle!"
Li Changji glanced at her, and then said to Li Xuangang:
"follow me!"
Li Xuangang nodded, and then followed Li Changji into a side room of the Shanggong Hall.
Li Yuqian, who was standing in the lobby, followed them with his eyes, but then the wooden door of the side room was closed, and even the ban was opened.
Seeing this, Li Yuqian had no choice but to turn around and go to the wooden frame to sort out the family tasks, while chatting with the younger clan members.
Suddenly, she saw a family mission that had been left unclaimed for a long time, so she opened it and looked at it, with a hint of surprise on her face.
After she put down the jade tube, with a playful look on her face, she said to the clan members who were choosing family tasks:
"There is a mission here regarding the batch of corpse refining stored in the family warehouse. Are any of you interested in taking a look?"
Upon hearing this, the others were okay and didn't react much. However, Li Yujie, who was looking down at the jade tube in his hand that still needed to take care of Zhu Dancao for six months in distress, suddenly raised his head and turned to look at the jade tube in Li Yuqian's hand.
Jade tube.
There is a hint of light in the eyes!
"Is there a batch of refined corpses in the family warehouse?"
...
In the side room of Shanggong Hall, Li Xuangang and his eighth uncle Li Changji were sitting opposite each other.
Under the latter's gaze, he took out the two storage bags at his waist.
