Li Xuangang saw the happy look on his fourth uncle's face and guessed that his request might be successful.
I originally thought that Xuan Kun was here, and he might not be able to make the decision, but now that it's the fourth uncle, there should be no problem with this matter.
So Li Xuangang said: "Fourth uncle, can you lend me one of the native horses from Xijincheng?"
Li Qingjing let out a sigh and asked:
"Why did you borrow Tumamon?"
Li Xuangang pointed to the motionless walking corpse beside him. I wanted to take it back, but I didn't have the magic weapon to hold the corpse, so I wanted to borrow the family's earth horse beast so that I could go back as soon as possible.
The earth horse beast is a first-level spiritual beast raised by the Li family. It has no offensive ability, but it is strong, heavy and fast. It is a spiritual beast used by the Li family's caravan to carry various resources. For a family
It is said to be a precious resource.
The Li family has only raised thirty-seven earth horse beasts for hundreds of years.
"I see, but I don't think you need to borrow the Tuma beast anymore. Do you want a corpse-containing weapon?" Li Qingjing chuckled.
"Could it be that Fourth Uncle has a corpse-containing weapon on his body?"
"That's not true. I don't practice corpse-refining magic."
Seeing that Li Xuangang was puzzled, Li Qingjing stopped trying to keep it secret and spoke directly.
"Yesterday, an outer disciple of the Corpse Ghost Sect came to Xijin City. I met him. He is a weapon refiner, and he must have corpse-containing magic weapons that he does not need."
The Corpse Ghost Sect is a major sect in the eastern part of Chaoyang Continent, and its power stretches from the Hengduan Mountains to the East China Sea.
Of course, the Li family is also within its sphere of influence. The Li family is one of the affiliated cultivation families of the Corpse Ghost Sect and is protected by it. Of course, in exchange, the Li family must also be driven by it.
"I wonder why the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect came to Xijincheng?"
Li Xuangang wanted the corpse-containing magic weapon because he happened to have practiced a corpse-refining magic. He originally planned to go to Fangshi to buy a corpse-containing magic weapon when he returned to his family. If he could get it here,
, then you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
"Then what else can we do? It's just that I heard the news about the discovery of concentrated iron ore in Xijincheng, and I wanted to come and take care of it in advance. Coincidentally, the Corpse Ghost Sect happened to be refining a new treasure ship in Binhaifang City, and it was exactly when there was a shortage of black iron.
, maybe this is an opportunity for our Li family to make a fortune."
Li Xuangang understood.
The location where the concentrated iron ore was discovered this time is very close to Xijin City, and Xijin City has always been the family city of the Li family, so it avoids conflicts with other forces. Moreover, this black iron ore is not a particularly precious mineral vein.
It’s not yet to the point where every force wants to get involved.
If not, I'm afraid there will be a fight.
However, after all, it was a source of wealth that was discovered. Although those cultivation families and casual cultivators would not use overt methods, secret methods were inevitable. Therefore, the family sent three monks who were in the late stage of Qi Refining to take charge of the affairs.
When mining officially starts, the Li family will probably send a foundation-building elder to intimidate Xiao Xiao.
"Xuan Gang!"
Hearing Fourth Uncle's sudden emotion, Li Xuangang immediately sat upright and responded: "Fourth Uncle..."
"Your cultivation level is pretty good for the Xuan generation. You have reached the fifth level of Qi refining. Although it is not as good as your second brother and thirteenth brother, you are still one of the younger generations that the family focuses on training. You have to practice more diligently, and the family will still be better in the future.
It’s up to you.”
Li Xuangang nodded in agreement.
Next, Li Xuangang asked Li Qingjing for advice on some cultivation issues. After all, Li Qingjing was the top late-stage Qi refining monk in the family, so some of his experiences were very enlightening for Li Xuangang and he benefited a lot.
And this is also where family monks and sect monks are better than casual cultivators. Not only are the cultivation resources of casual cultivators not guaranteed, they also do not have the experience to share with their elders. Therefore, in comparison, casual cultivators generally have a lower level of cultivation, both in terms of cultivation and
The magical weapons are far inferior to those of the family monks and sect monks of the same generation.
But there are not exceptions. It is said that the owner of Limeng Island in the East China Sea was a casual cultivator.
There are always some casual cultivators who have special encounters, are extremely talented, or encounter their own opportunities.
...
When the moonlight broke through the clouds and began to embrace the earth, the preaching between Li Xuangang's uncle and nephew finally came to an end.
Li Xuangang was arranged to stay in a cave on the top of Xiaodong Mountain, waiting for the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect to come again tomorrow, and his fourth uncle would introduce him on his behalf.
.....
Since taking over the mission of Xuanfeng City from his family, Li Xuangang has been running around for more than ten days, and now he can finally practice in peace.
Since there is a first-level low-grade spiritual vein on Xiaodong Mountain, and the mountain guarding array has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in this cave is now enough for Li Xuangang to practice.
Li Xuangang estimated that the current concentration of spiritual energy in Xiaodong Mountain would be enough for at least three mid-stage Qi refining monks to practice at the same time.
First-level spiritual veins are not rare, but high-level spiritual veins are extremely rare. The spiritual veins of various forces all consume extremely huge resources, and it takes countless years of accumulation to complete the upgrade.
Of course, high-level spiritual veins can also be cultivated by more monks and monks with higher cultivation levels.
The Li family residence is built on a second-level high-grade spiritual vein, which is the foundation of the entire Li family in Taiqiu.
Li Xuangang put aside other messy thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave, closed his eyes to clear his mind, and began to practice.
Li Xuangang practices a technique provided by his family called Jin Geng Wu Xiang Jue. It is not a particularly advanced technique. In fact, the family has only collected seven kinds of techniques until now. If you include the third-rate techniques that are circulated among casual practitioners in the city.
As for exercises, the Li family has more than twenty kinds.
Soon Li Xuangang entered a state of cultivation. He skillfully guided the spiritual energy in the air into his body according to Jin Geng Wu Xiangjue's operation method, allowing the spiritual energy entering his body to move in a specific orbit in his meridians.
After one circle, everything is collected into one's Dantian.
At this time, Li Xuangang's Dantian can store about half of the spiritual energy of the entire Dantian, which means that he has the fifth level of Qi refining. If all of his Dantian can be filled with spiritual energy, then he will have entered the Qi refining stage.
The last stage is Li Qingjing’s current level of cultivation, the ninth level of Qi refining.
If you want to enter the next foundation-building stage of cultivation, you must continue to condense the spiritual energy in your Dantian until it transforms into a liquid state.
This step has blocked many monks, such as Li Xuangang's uncle Li Qingyuan.
And it is even more difficult to transform it from a liquid state into a small golden elixir.
...
One night passed quickly, and when Li Xuangang pushed open the stone door of the cave, he found that his fourth uncle, Li Qingjing, was already waiting for him under the peach tree not far away.
The fourth uncle was dressed in black, his hair on his temples was neatly arranged in a tight bun, and he looked quite serious when he was not speaking.
Seeing that Li Xuangang had appeared, Li Qingjing put his hands behind his back and said:
"Without further ado, the disciple of the Corpse Ghost Sect should be arriving soon. Let's set off."
So Li Xuangang parked the corpse in the cave, and then checked it again. After confirming that it was correct, he followed Li Qingjing out of Xiaodong Mountain.
On the way, Li Xuangang learned that the place where the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect had arranged to meet was where the iron mine was located, so the journey was not that far, it was on a mountain five miles outside Xijin City.
But because both of them were monks in the Qi Refining Stage and could not fly with Qi, nor did they have expensive flying magic weapons, they both used the Light Body Technique and ran towards the outside of the city.
Of course, in order to take care of Li Xuangang, Li Qingjing deliberately slowed down his speed.
The distance of five miles still takes a while for ordinary people to walk, but for monks it is nothing. So soon Li Qingjing took Li Xuangang to the location of the iron ore.
As soon as the two landed, they heard a young man's voice coming from the mine:
"who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure emerged from the mine. This person had red lips and white teeth, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was extremely delicate, but he was much prettier than Li Xuangang.
This person was none other than Li Xuankun, who was left here by Li Qingjing and ranked tenth in the Li Jiaxuan generation.
After Li Xuankun saw the person clearly, he hurriedly put away the spiritual sword in his hand and withdrew the warning circle at the same time.
"Fourth uncle, ninth brother."
Li Xuankun called the two of them and led them into the mine.
Li Xuangang entered the mine. Since it was a newly discovered mineral, the mine was not deep or big. It was only one person tall. However, Li Xuankun dug a hole inside to serve as a temporary residence.
"Brother Ninth, why are you here with Fourth Uncle?"
As soon as Li Xuangang and the others sat down, Li Xuankun asked.
But before Li Xuangang could answer his question, another voice came from outside the mine.
"Excuse me, are there any fellow Taoists from the Li family of Taiqiu here?"
