At this time, Li Xuangang woke up from his practice. With a display of his spiritual energy, his cultivation level had been raised from the fifth level of Qi refining to the sixth level. With one more level, he could enter the later stage of Qi refining.
Three months ago, Li Xuanshan brought the evil spirit back to him. After paying the latter the corresponding spiritual stones, he also gave him a few more spiritual stones as a token payment for the hard work of running errands.
Li Xuanshan naturally refused to take it, but finally accepted it with Li Xuangang's insistence.
After receiving the evil spirit, Li Xuangang immediately put all the evil energy into the Nayin Gourd to cultivate the refined corpse. In the process, he took out the refined corpse and re-sacrificially practiced it several times to strengthen the connection between the mind and the body.
During this retreat, most of the time was spent in cultivation. This breakthrough can be regarded as a matter of course. Li Xuangang had been refining the fifth level of Qi for many years before, and this time it was just the result of a step-by-step process.
After feeling the stronger spiritual power fluctuations in his body, Li Xuangang stood up and noticed that the three red red grass plants in the corner medicine garden were also mature.
I saw three rhubarb fruits hanging on the top stem of the rhubarb grass, and split from the middle. Each rhubarb fruit exposed two round seeds inside.
The whole Zhudan grass exuded bursts of spiritual energy, and Li Xuangang felt happy and took out the tools from the storage bag to prepare to pick it.
These three Zhudancao plants were planted by Li Xuangang a few years ago. When Li Xuangang rushed back to Taiqiu Mountain from Xijincheng half a year ago, these three Zhudancao plants were almost mature. Now it is finally time to harvest.
Li Xuangang was also very particular about the tools he used to pick the plant. The magical grass, Zhudancao, must be dug with jade. Otherwise, as long as it comes into contact with some other materials, the entire Zhudancao will quickly wither in a very short period of time.
Li Xuangang was quite talented in growing spiritual herbs. He spent almost all of his early stage of qi refining in the family medicine garden, and even the elders in charge of the medicine garden were full of praise.
This is also why Li Xuangang can plant Zhudan grass in the cave, which is a kind of spiritual grass that is extremely difficult to cultivate among the first-level spiritual grasses.
Li Xuangang used a small jade knife to slowly dig up the spiritual soil around the Zhudan grass and dig out all its roots. Li Xuangang had done this kind of work countless times, so he was very familiar with it.
All the grass was dug out.
Afterwards, Li Xuangang picked the rhubarb fruits from three rhubarb plants, and then stored the three red rhubarb plants in jade boxes respectively.
Zhudancao is a first-level spiritual grass, the main medicine of Ruby Pill, and its price is more expensive than Chunlu Pill.
Li Xuangang planted these three Zhu Dancao plants two years ago and spent a lot of effort during this period. However, if these three Zhu Dancao plants were sold in the market outside, they should be worth no less than ninety spiritual stones.
The medicinal herbs are the whole plant, not the judan fruit that grows on it. The judan fruit looks very attractive, but in fact it is inedible and toxic.
So Li Xuangang took out the six Zhudancao seeds inside and put them into the storage bag. Then a burst of flame burst out of his palm, and in an instant the remaining Zhudancao was reduced to smoke.
Li Xuangang reorganized his small medicine garden, took out three spiritual stones and buried them in it to replenish the aura of the medicine garden.
According to Li Xuangang's original plan, he wanted to continue planting the seeds of Zhu Danguo, but now he decided to go out. If nothing else happened, he probably wouldn't be back for a long time, so he couldn't take care of the spiritual grass, so he didn't continue planting it.
What to grow in apothecary.
Finally, Li Xuangang opened the box he used for storage, looked at it for a while, and took out all the spiritual stones and spiritual grains he had stored inside for many years.
The spirit stones were put directly into the storage bag, but the spirit grains couldn't fit in, so Li Xuangang simply found a big bag and carried it on his shoulders.
After opening the cave, Li Xuangang appeared at the back of Taiqiu Mountain. The long-lost sunshine reflected on his face, and he squinted his eyes for a while to adapt.
...
Half an hour later, Li Xuangang appeared in the family's caravan.
There are eleven earth horse beasts in this caravan, and the wooden cart behind each earth horse beast is pulling a large amount of goods.
This is a supply to the family shops in Tianhefang City and Binhaifang City. By the way, they will collect the profits of the major shops. The final destination of Li Xuangang's trip is Binhaifang City.
The caravan left Taiqiu Mountain and took the road at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain. It was surrounded by the family's spiritual fields, which were full of spiritual grains.
At this time, Li Xuangang was sitting on top of a pile of goods with his eyes closed, and a figure almost twice his size stood next to him, staring intently at the surrounding hundreds of acres of grain fields, his glasses full of longing.
This person is none other than Li Xuanshan, Li Xuangang's fifteenth younger brother. Li Xuanshan is tall and fat, but not burly. Because his waist is too thick, the black family clothes always feel out of place on his body. Although his squinting eyes make his face
Saved a lot of space, but looks pretty nice.
He is not much younger than Li Xuangang, and he is only at the fourth level of Qi refining. It sounds like his cultivation level is too low. In fact, although Li Xuanshan has no interest in cultivation, the fourth level of Qi refining is a normal cultivation speed for this age.
In other words, although Li Xuangang is not considered to be exceptionally gifted, he can actually be regarded as one of the top talents. This is why the fourth uncle values Li Xuangang. The inheritance of a family cannot be separated from outstanding descendants.
Talent does not determine how far you will go on the path of cultivating immortality, because every broken mirror is a test for all monks. Many talented monks cannot cross the gate of foundation building, and many have lower qualifications than them.
However, they can successfully enter the Foundation Establishment Avenue.
Therefore, although no one can guarantee that he will be able to break through the mirror, the more outstanding his talent is, the faster he can practice, the less resources he will consume, and the higher the probability of breaking through the mirror.
Therefore, whether it is the family or the sect, the allocation of resources will still favor the talented younger generations.
Not long after, amidst the slow sound of horse hooves from the earth horse beast, the caravan left the range on Taiqiu and left the hundred-acre spiritual field at the foot of the mountain. The caravan walked towards the east, and its first destination was Tianhefang City.
After Li Xuanshan lost sight of the spiritual field, he also sat down and leaned next to Li Xuangang.
"Brother Ninth, you said it would be great if these spiritual fields were doubled. Then the spiritual grains produced every year would also be doubled. By then, the family's earth horses and beasts may not be able to finish their transportation."
Hearing Li Xuanshan's raving, Li Xuangang couldn't deny it, knowing that it was just his imagination. If the spiritual field at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain was to be doubled, then the second-level high-grade spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain could only provide such a huge amount if they were upgraded to the third level.
spiritual energy, and the resources consumed to cultivate a third-level spiritual vein are astronomical.
But Li Xuangang didn't say much, he just said: "It will probably be enough when the spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain reach the third level."
Li Xuanshan grinned when he heard Ninth Brother Li Xuangang's words, and then lay down on his back in a rather inelegant posture.
Beneath him was thousands of kilograms of spiritual valley. Lying on his back, Li Xuanshan seemed to smell the aroma coming from the spiritual valley beneath him.
"Brother Ninth, do you still remember the black iron mine discovered in Xijincheng half a year ago?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Li Xuangang has been in seclusion for the past six months to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he doesn't know much about what happened after the discovery of the Xuantie Mine. When he heard Li Xuanshan say this, his first reaction was that something had happened to the Xuantie Mine.
"That's not true. Everything should be going well. When the news of the Xuan Iron Mine reached the family, it made the family a little excited. After all, such a large vein has not been discovered for many years."
After Li Xuangang knew that nothing happened, he also lost interest. After thinking about it, he also lay down, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to Li Xuanshan's words.
"The Xuantie Mine family still attaches great importance to it. About five months ago, they sent seventh uncle Li Changzhi, a foundation-building elder, to take charge of the mining work."
"I heard that after the black iron is mined this time, more than half of it will be sold to the Corpse Sect. It seems that they are refining a new treasure ship in Binhaifang City, but I am not sure. I overheard this from the caravan.
Others here mentioned this when chatting."
"But the family did send two earth horse beasts from each of the three caravans to Xijin City, probably to transport the raw ore. I also heard that the family sent more than 10,000 mortal clansmen from Xijin City.
To dig mines, forty monks were sent there from Mount Taiqiu."
Hearing this, Li Xuangang suddenly interrupted and said:
"Do you know the news about your tenth brother Li Xuankun?"
Li Xuanshan changed his posture and put his right hand behind his head.
"Brother Ten, I met him last time when I returned to Taiqiu Mountain. But seeing that he was in a hurry, I guessed that he must be in Xijincheng as well. After all, his mission of garrisoning in Xijincheng has not ended yet."
"Yes, I understand." Li Xuangang responded calmly.
"By the way, Ninth Brother, do you know? I passed by Xijincheng last time and took a look at the mines over there. Wow, it's really spectacular. There are dozens of mines densely packed together. I also encountered them there.
Second brother Li Xuantian."
"Second brother?" Li Xuangang was a little confused when he heard this.
"What's he doing there?"
Hearing that Brother Ninth finally seemed a little interested, Li Xuanshan continued talking more passionately.
Li Xuanshan likes caravans. In addition to selling and buying things, he also likes to talk to different people on the road or in the city. From this point of view, he does not look like a monk at all, but like a secular person.
Merchant.
"Hasn't the second brother been in Wujiangfang City on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains in recent years? You also know that according to the temperament of the second brother, he will not stay peacefully in the shop in Fangshi and learn to refine weapons with Uncle Liu. I
I guess the second brother must run into the Hengduan Mountains from time to time."
Li Xuantian, who ranks second in the Xuan generation, is one of the most talented juniors in the Xuan generation of the Li family, and he is quite talented in weapon refining, so the family invested a lot of resources in him and sent him to Wujiang a long time ago.
In the Fangshi family's own weapon refining pavilion, Li Qingshu, a first-level weapon refiner in the family and the sixth in the Qing generation, took him.
Weapon refiners and alchemists are generally the same, both are produced by huge piles of resources, and practicing requires a huge amount of resources.
"The patriarch bought a good body-training technique at an auction in Tianhefang City, which should be very suitable for his second brother, so he asked him to come back from Wujiangfang City. Later, he sent him to the West
Jinshan Mining.”
Li Xuangang probably understood.
The second brother Li Xuantian has been wild-tempered since he was a child and likes to wander around. Maybe he comes back this time with family intentions.
