Chapter 23 Return to Qingyun Island, Golden-winged Thunder Eagle

"Seventh Uncle, I must have screwed up!"

Li Changsheng said a little embarrassed.

Although it is not up to him to decide whether he has spiritual roots or not, he still has a certain responsibility since he has accepted this task.

"It's nothing. This is not your problem. At least ten new members have been added to the family this time, which is not bad."

Li Daolong patted Li Changsheng on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to take it seriously.

In fact, the results of this spirit testing conference were somewhat beyond his expectations.

According to past practice, it is already very good to have eight tribesmen with spiritual roots among five thousand people, and there will be one or two three spiritual roots among ten people. If you are lucky, you can also have two spiritual roots.

Six thousand people were tested this time. Although ten people with spiritual roots were found, seven of the ten people had four spiritual roots and three had five spiritual roots, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The biggest function of this talent is to breed offspring, which can only be said to be a different kind of harvest for the family. After all, the chance of immortal cultivators giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots is much higher than that of mortals.

"Go back and say goodbye to your parents! After staying for five years, it's time to go back."

"What? Still thinking about Li Yang."

Seeing that Li Changsheng was a little unhappy, Li Daolong directly revealed his thoughts.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Li Daolong also knew what he was thinking, so he comforted him: "Few people in this world can truly live forever. I will die in the future, your third uncle, your grandfather, and most people will die. It's nothing more than The difference between dying early and dying late is that maybe we don’t live as long as ordinary people. If we encounter any danger one day, we will die without even being able to recover our bones.”

"Think about it from another angle. It's not a bad thing for your parents that Li Yang doesn't have spiritual roots. At least he can stay with your parents, which can be regarded as fulfilling his filial piety for you."

"In the future, you will face the death of many close relatives, and you must be prepared to bear this pain in advance."

"Seventh Uncle, is it really true that mortals can't practice?"

Li Changsheng asked with some unwillingness to give up.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Mortals can practice, so why do they need spiritual roots?"

Li Daolong said indifferently, this junior is good at everything, but sometimes he is easy to lose his mind.

Li Changsheng also fell silent after hearing this.

Li Daolong spoke again: "However, there are thousands of secrets in this world, and there may be some that can allow mortals to cultivate immortality. It may be that we are just too weak to know about it. If you become stronger, you may have this opportunity."

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?"

Of course it's false. Li Daolong smiled bitterly in his heart. He just said this because he didn't want to see Li Changsheng fall into it. Love is the most difficult thing to overcome. Once you fall into it, it's difficult to get out alone.

"It must be true. The world is so big, who can guarantee that it doesn't exist?"

Li Daolong said affirmatively again.

Li Changsheng nodded, feeling more and more reasonable, no longer entangled in this issue, and then walked towards home, preparing to say goodbye to his family.

…

Three days later, a white flying boat set off from Haixing Island and flew in the direction of Qingyun Island.

The people in power of the Li family do not count the foundation. In addition to the head of the family, there are eight elders involved in family decision-making. Three of them are from the Dao generation and five are from the Tong generation. All of them are at the ninth level of Qi refining.

Originally, there were fifteen people in total, and most of them were from the Taoist generation. However, as time went by, they either died or died outside, so that there were only eight people left, and now they are mainly from the Tongzi generation.

Li Tongming is the seventh elder of the family and is mainly responsible for guarding the safety of Qingyun Island.

On this day, Li Tongming was patrolling with a team of ten people, each of whom was riding a spiritual bird at their feet.

"Someone is coming, please cheer up."

Li Tongming has the important task of guarding the family base camp, and has long been accustomed to seeing and listening in all directions.

Directly in front of the crowd, a small white dot was growing larger in their eyes, and then a white spaceship appeared, flying towards them quickly.

Seeing this, Li Tongming drove the spiritual bird under his feet, took the lead and flew towards the opponent, and then said loudly.

"Qingyun Island ahead, stop whoever comes!"

The sound rippled out, like thunder, indicating that if we take another step forward, we are about to start.

Sure enough, the flying boat stopped in the clouds more than ten feet away from them.

At this moment, the flying boat disappeared, and twelve figures stood on a cloud. The leaders were Li Changsheng and Li Daolong, and ten boys and girls behind them were shrouded in a halo of light.

Looking at the two of them, Li Tongming's expression changed and he quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"I didn't know it was Uncle Qi, so I ask Uncle Qi to forgive me."

The tribesmen behind him also saluted Li Daolong.

"It doesn't matter, you did the right thing."

Li Daolong waved his hand slightly, not caring, but rather appreciative.

He left Qingyun Island to protect Li Changsheng, and most people didn't know his whereabouts.

But Li Changsheng's attention at this moment was directed at the spiritual bird at the feet of Li Tongming and others.

It can be seen that the feathers of these spiritual birds are mainly cyan, black and other colors, but the common point is that each one has a little gold, and the whole body is like a flying knife inlaid with a metallic texture.

The difference is that the spirit bird Li Tongming rides has more golden feathers. There is also a conspicuous lavender crown on the top of its head, and its aura is at the peak of the first level.

"Who is this?"

Realizing that Li Changsheng's gaze seemed a little strange, Li Tongming was a little confused, but to be with Li Daolong, he must be a member of the Li clan.

"This is immortality!"

"Changsheng, this is the seventh elder."

Li Daolong opened his mouth to introduce each other.

"Changsheng has met the Seventh Elder."

Li Changsheng immediately saluted Li Tongming.

"I didn't expect that we have grown so big after not seeing each other for so long."

Li Tongming immediately reacted when he heard this. Li Changsheng was relatively famous when he first came to Qingyun Island when he was a child, probably because he was the grandson of Li Daozong.

Li Changsheng was forced to practice by Li Daozong most of the time when he was a child. Except for some of his peers who he met in the clan hall for five years, he rarely had contact with other people. He also went to Haixing Island for five years. No one else has seen his current appearance. It’s no surprise to know him.

"Changsheng, this is the golden-winged thunder eagle, the spiritual bird that protects the family."

Seeing that Li Changsheng seemed to be interested in the spiritual bird at Li Tongming's feet, Li Daolong introduced it to him.

"Gold-winged Thunder Eagle!"

"Yes, it was here that the ancestor of Qingyun killed a third-level low-grade golden-winged thunder eagle and captured Qingyun Island, thereby laying the foundation for the development of our Li clan."

"The Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle is a mutated branch of the Golden-Winged Dapeng. It has extraordinary blood and possesses metallic magical powers. Once its feathers transform into gold and the crest on its head transforms into deep purple, it will enter the third level. He will also awaken the magical power of thunder, which will greatly increase his combat power."

"Ancestor Qingyun was aware of this at the beginning, so he didn't kill them all, leaving some to be cultivated as the family's guardian spirit birds."

"It's a pity that the descendants of the future generation failed to live up to their expectations and paired them randomly, which polluted the blood in their bodies. As a result, they are now different. It is difficult to advance. They can only be used as flying tools for the escort team."

Li Daolong's tone was full of regret.

"I see, I wonder why they are the same species but have colorful feathers."

Li Changsheng originally wanted to raise one, but now he has lost interest.
