Taiqiu Mountain, which has become another behemoth in the Tianhe area, naturally cannot rest in peace.
From top to bottom of the main peak, including the six side peaks with spiritual veins around them, as well as the spiritual fields and medicinal gardens stretching out at the foot of the mountain, there are people from the Li clan in black mysterious clothes who are busy.
A caravan of earth horse beasts has just returned to the mountain from Mangshanfang City in the north, while another caravan of turtle beasts is packing up and preparing to set off.
They will first go east to Tianhefang City, deliver a batch of spiritual grains to the treasure ship, and then go all the way north to Qimingfang City within the Xianyuan Sect.
The matters that Li Changqing, Li Changji, Li Qingyang, and Li Xuanshan at the top of Taiqiu Mountain are talking about have nothing to do with them for the time being. All the Li clan members are practicing or performing family tasks as usual.
until......
...
...
Under the peach tree, the three of them were listening quietly, with only Li Changji's slow and slow voice echoing in the spring breeze and green leaves.
"Fifth brother, the jade tube passed back by Yuqian mainly records three things."
"First, the current progress of the strangulation order issued by the Yuling Sect in the Hengduan Mountains."
"The second is that Xuangang came out of seclusion a month ago and successfully broke through to the peak level of foundation building."
The previous news was mentioned by the eighth uncle when the patriarch just left the cave. Li Xuanshan was not surprised by this. Moreover, he also knew that the patriarch had participated in a mission of the Corpse Ghost Sect before. It was rumored that the location of that mission was on the mainland.
middle part.
Still, what the fifth uncle knew, and even what he had arranged, were all within his expectations.
But when he heard the second news, unlike the previous one, his whole figure seemed to be pricked by a needle, and he instantly became energetic.
"Ninth brother has reached the peak of foundation building?"
With such exclamation in his heart, his small eyes stared at his eighth uncle Li Changji, his eyes opened much wider than usual, and his mouth was slightly opened.
Not only Li Xuanshan, but also Li Changqing and Li Qingyang were slightly surprised and looked at him sideways.
The news that Yuqian sent back through the family's specially constructed channels was naturally untrue, so they quickly calmed down and accepted the gratifying news.
Of course, when this news spread throughout Taiqiu Mountain, most of the clan members would not be as calm as the four of them. Maybe the whole family would be excited about this for a long time.
Although Li Changji is also at the peak of foundation building, for the family, Li Xuangang's peak foundation building is more meaningful. After all, the latter is a monk of the Xuan generation and is much younger.
The younger age means the greater the chance of further advancement. For the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain who have just joined the Jindan family for a few years, this kind of tribe has a greater chance of continuing the family inheritance.
The impact is naturally greater.
Li Xuangang's current existence is equivalent to another centering stone in the hearts of the clan members besides the clan leader Li Changqing.
Li Qingyang withdrew his gaze, not surprised that Li Xuangang reached the peak of foundation building earlier than himself and his fourth brother Li Qingjing.
Therefore, compared to Li Xuanshan, who is very active in thinking, he is undoubtedly more calm.
"Is this news confirmed?"
Li Changqing exited and asked.
Li Changji replied:
"What Xuangang said personally will not be false."
Nodding, without showing any emotion or anger, Li Changqing continued:
"Move on to the next thing."
"The third is Yu Heng's situation. Yu Heng has become the cave attendant of a Jindan stage elder of the Yuling Sect. Next, he should join the rest of the Yuling Sect disciples in this attack on the monsters in the Hengduan Mountains.
in the purge operation.”
"In addition, he also brought back a beast-controlling technique that can control the Jade Luo Bee."
"What is the name of that Jindan elder?"
"You Li."
Li Changqing shook his head and said that he did not know this person.
"Is there any other news?"
The message sent back by Li Yuqian naturally contains more than these three points, but also contains other slightly less important contents.
For example, Li Yuqian recently collected various news about the central part of the mainland in Shuangjiao City, the specific experiences of his ninth uncle Li Xuangang and his eldest brother Li Yuheng in recent years, etc.
Among them, the one that is slightly more special is the mention of a casual cultivator from Shuangjiao City named Shi Xiaoqing.
However, these contents are indeed not very important. Li Changji only briefly mentioned them, while Li Changqing, Li Qingyang, and Li Xuanshan listened casually.
The specific handling of the remaining content will be handed over to Li Yuxian, who is in charge of the affairs cabinet, for arrangement later.
"By the way, Xuan Gang also mentioned one more thing."
After Li Changji roughly finished talking about the contents of the jade tube, he suddenly remembered and continued:
"Xuan Gang mentioned that there is a third-level spiritual plant called Jinyanghua. This spiritual plant seems to have a special function for the advancement of Jade Bee. He accidentally obtained one, but its vitality is weak and it cannot be used for the time being.
Get a transplant."
"oh?"
Since Li Changzhi and Li Xuangang brought the swarm of Jade Bees back to Taiqiu Mountain from the Hengdan Mountains decades ago, after so long development, the Jade Bees in Taiqiu Mountain have already split into two groups.
The combined number of the two groups of Jade Bees is close to two thousand. Unlike Li Xuangang's realm source space, there are enough spiritual flowers on Taiqiu Mountain to support such a number of Jade Bees to survive at the same time.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Yuluo Bee Queen Bee was still at the second level of high-level cultivation and could not break through to the third level due to the two swarms, otherwise the number of Yuluo Bees owned by the Li family would have been even greater.
The Yuluo bee honey produced by these two groups of Yuluo bees is a must-have for the Li family’s alchemists on the Dan Peak when making alchemy. The remaining honey is either stored in the Qiqiao Kongming Pagoda or transported via caravans.
Go to various major markets to conduct transactions.
The reason why Li Changji brought up the matter about Jinyanghua alone at this time was precisely because he was a third-level alchemist himself and knew that if the queen bees of both colonies entered the third level, what would happen to the entire family.
value.
Therefore, he wanted to hear the opinion of fifth brother Li Changqing.
"Since Xuan Gang mentioned this special spiritual plant, publish the relevant family tasks in the Affairs Pavilion. After you find it, give it to the queen bee of one of the bee colonies to try."
"Xuan Gang mentioned that he has one."
"That one has weak vitality and is not suitable for transplantation, so I will keep it with him for the time being. Xuan Gang is quite talented in taking care of spiritual plants. If he doesn't find it in the future and his plant regains its vitality, he won't be able to use it anymore.
Late."
Li Changji nodded, indicating that he knew.
At this time, Li Changqing suddenly turned his head and shouted "Xuanshan."
So Li Xuanshan immediately clasped his fists:
"Fifth uncle, Xuanshan is here."
Li Changqing: "Xuanshan, you walk around the major cities more often, and you should pay more attention to spiritual plants like Golden Sunflower."
Li Xuanshan: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, I will pay attention to this thing."
After saying that, he took a step back and stood beside his second uncle Li Qingyang.
Among the matters mentioned by the eighth uncle just now, the first one is undoubtedly the most important, and the fifth uncle has not expressed his opinion on this first matter.
While Li Xuanshan was waiting for his fifth uncle Li Changqing to make arrangements for the incident involving the Yuling Sect in the central part of the mainland, the latter seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident.
Instead, he directly turned around and asked his eighth uncle Li Changji about other matters in the family.
At the moment, Li Changji did not hesitate after hearing the inquiry. He knew that after the fifth brother came back from the Corpse Ghost Sect, he had been busy refining his life magic weapon in seclusion recently, so he did not have much free time outside the retreat.
"Half a month ago, the spiritual veins on the six side peaks completed the upgrade, and their grades have all reached the first level of high-grade."
Li Xuanshan knew about this. A considerable part of the spiritual stones his family had earned in various cities in the past few years had been invested in these side peaks.
"The batch of jade ice silkworms raised on the sixth side bee began to spin silk. I took the silk that was spun out to the Qi Peak and tested it with the Qing Technique. Although the grades are different, first-level, second-level, and third-level are all
Yes, but no matter which level it is, among the materials of the same level, they are all of the best quality and suitable for refining into many kinds of magic weapons."
Seeing that fifth brother Li Changqing was silent, Li Changji continued:
"The initial idea of Qing Shu is that it can be refined into an offensive silk magic weapon, or after enough silk is accumulated, it can be refined into a defensive clothing magic weapon."
"What's your opinion, Changji?"
"Fifth brother, the silk produced by the jade ice silkworm in the central part of the continent is of rare quality. If it is used only to refine offensive magic weapons, or is simply used to sell it in exchange for spiritual stones, the value will be damaged. I
It seems that it is better to refine it into the family's standard mysterious clothing, which may be able to save the lives of the clan members at critical moments when they go out to perform missions."
"As for the concealment, you can burn the concealment array on it when it is formed."
Li Changqing asked:
“How long does it take to accumulate so much silk?”
Li Changji: "Now we can breed those batches of jade ice silkworms, and the standard Xuanfu can also be refined batch by batch. The refined products can be hung with jade strings in the Shanggong Hall, and can be redeemed by clan members with contribution points.
"
"According to my speculation, ten years should be enough to accumulate a sufficient number of family standard Xuanfu of all levels."
Li Changqing thought for a moment, then said:
"Then let Qing Shu first refine one piece of first-level, second-level, and third-level mysterious clothes. The family elders will review them and make a joint decision."
Li Changji handed over his hand: "Changji knows."
When Li Changqing and Li Changji were talking about refining the family's standard mysterious clothes with jade ice silk silk, Li Qingyang and Li Xuanshan were listening and did not interrupt, and Li Changqing seemed to ignore their meaning for the time being.
He continued to speak to Li Changji:
"What is the function of the sixth side peak now?"
Li Changji paused for a moment to reflect. Then he answered:
"In addition to the batch of jade ice silkworms, a large area of spiritual mulberry trees has been planted, and a small number of caves have been opened. There is a grassland at the foot of the mountain, where the family's native horse herds and elephant tortoise herds also live.
"
Li Changqing nodded, and then said casually:
"Among the nine side peaks around Taiqiu Mountain, the sixth side peak is the farthest. Since all the camels and beasts have been moved there, it's good that the original pasture at the foot of the mountain can be opened up into a medicine garden, where tribesmen can come and go.
It is also more convenient to go to Taiqiu Mountain, Dan Peak, and Linghu Peak. If there are any more spiritual beasts to be cultivated in the future, it will be moved to the sixth side peak: Beast Peak. Normally, tribesmen need special permission to go there."
Li Changji nodded, naturally knowing what Li Changqing meant. The sixth side peak: Beast Peak is the farthest from Taiqiu Mountain. It would be easier to cultivate spiritual beasts and avoid being disturbed by more people.
So he responded:
"I will ask Yuxian to go to Beast Peak to make arrangements later."
After finishing this matter, Li Changji talked about some other matters about the family, and Li Qingyang and Li Xuanshan also talked about some things each.
Li Changqing also gave his general opinion on each item. As for the more specific ones, he naturally did not need to worry about it.
At the end, Li Changji pointed to the exquisite jade box on the stone table and said:
"This thing was obtained by Xuanshan and Qingjing at an auction in Hengduanfang City. I haven't had time to open it yet."
Li Changji raised his hand to call Li Xuanshan over, indicating that he would speak on his own.
When Li Xuanshan finally mentioned the treasure he had protected all the way from Hengduanfang City, the corners of his mouth split open, his eyes narrowed into two slits, and he laughed twice.
He took the exquisite jade box into his hands without any thought of showing off. After taking it, he immediately opened it and revealed the items inside.
Accompanied by a familiar aura, the three of them were slightly surprised after seeing this object clearly.
Li Qingyang walked forward, observed it carefully, and then said:
