Chapter 33 The sadness behind the playfulness, Zhao Xuemei’s thoughts

Later, with Li Changfeng's explanation, Li Changsheng understood what was going on.

The Lihuo Secret Realm is a yellow-level secret realm controlled by the Lihuo Sect. It is another space alone in the void. It is opened once every hundred years, but it can only be entered during the Qi Refining Period.

All vassal forces of the Lihuo Sect have a quota of one to five people depending on their strength. Ninety percent of the elixirs collected in the secret realm are handed over to the Lihuo Sect, and individuals can keep 10% and take them away.

"I see. No wonder grandpa told me not to rush to build the foundation."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "There are only thousands of Lihuo Sect disciples, but there should be a lot of Qi Refining monks! Why are there still so many places given up?"

At this time, Li Tongzhou, who was sitting first on the left, opened his mouth to explain: "Changsheng, although we are vassal forces of Lihuo Sect, we are not vassal slaves. We are all complementary to each other. We not only submit sacrifices but also listen to confessions. If Without any benefit, Liusha Islands would have been full of complaints. "

"Changsheng, the development of a force cannot always rely on the exploitation and oppression of vassal forces. It must also give other forces space for survival and development. Strength can determine everything, but it does not mean that you can have everything."

"I understand, Changsheng, thank you for your guidance!"

Li Changsheng saluted Li Tongzhou.

He used to only focus on cultivation, thinking that by breaking through to a higher realm, he could dominate everything. He didn't expect that there were so many sects involved.

At this time, Li Daoling, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "Changsheng, what the family leader said is the way to govern. You have never participated in family management. If you don't understand anything in the future, ask the clan elders. Although they are not as good as you in cultivation." , but he has decades more life experience than you, so you need to ask for more advice.”

Sure enough, Jiang was still very old. As soon as he said these words, some elders began to sit in a dignified posture, and some even straightened their appearance a little. It was obvious that Li Daoling's words were very popular with them.

“This is live instruction!”

Li Changsheng couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw the slight movements of the elders. Then he immediately reacted and gave a slight salute to Li Daoling.

"I will remember it forever!"

Then he saluted the elders in the hall and said with a smile: "If there is any trouble in the future, please give me some advice."

"Haha, Changsheng, we are your uncles and elders. It is also our responsibility to preach, teach, and resolve doubts. If you say this, you are being foreign."

Li Tongzhou laughed loudly, looking happy.

He is now over sixty years old, and the chances of building a foundation have become smaller. Instead, he has given up and started to concentrate on running the family.

He had never understood why his ancestor would rather reduce everyone's resources than Li Changsheng's. Now he has figured everything out.

His nephew is not a twin spirit root at all, but a natural spirit body. Only in this way can the three ancestors hide his identity information.

"Chang Sheng, I have read all the anecdotes collected by the family, including many unofficial histories and even fairy texts. I have also studied them. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Changsheng, I have some experience in beast control. If you want to raise spirit beasts and spirit insects, I can help you avoid some detours."

"Changsheng, I have a deep research on spiritual cultivation. If you want to become a spiritual cultivation master in the future, I can give you some guidance."

"What are you talking nonsense about? The Fifth Uncle's weapons and formations are both unique. If you live forever, you must inherit the skills of the Fifth Uncle. How can you learn from your scraps?"

"Well, you old man, you don't care about Fourth Uncle's scraps now. I forgot that you used to ask me questions."

The discussion in the main hall was in full swing for a while, and everyone was blowing their beards and staring, just like a vegetable market. There was no discipline at all, and they didn't care about the three foundation-building ancestors above.

However, Li Daoling and the others just watched this scene calmly, as if they were used to it.

Li Changsheng was stunned as he watched from the side. It was his first time to participate in a clan meeting. Unexpectedly, all the dignified elders just now turned into mortal uncles and aunts selling vegetables. He glanced at the third brother next to him.

Li Changfeng just looked at this scene with a smile. It was obviously not the first time he had seen it, but he still explained: "Ninth brother, time flies by like a fleeting horse. Many clan elders have lost the opportunity to build their foundation. Maybe next time, it will be the newcomers. It’s time to replace the old one, and I guess this kind of occasion won’t happen much in the future.”

When Li Changsheng heard this, his happy mood also dropped a little. He didn't expect that behind the playfulness of the elders, they were so sad.

The clan meeting he imagined was serious and solemn, even boring, but now it seems completely different. After the business is done, everyone can joke and argue unscrupulously, not caring about the status of Li Daoling and the three of them, and the three of them don't No words could stop him, and he even saw a smile in his grandfather's eyes.

This made him feel the harmony and warmth of the family, without the constraints of so many rules and regulations.

"Perhaps this is what a family should be like!"

…

Lingyun Island, Zhao family.

In a certain hall, Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Mingyue were talking about something.

"Mingyue, you must be careful after entering the Lihuo Secret Realm, especially people from other families, do you understand?"

"I understand, Ancestor Xuemei!"

Zhao Mingyue nodded, she had also broken through the ninth level of Qi refining.

"It doesn't matter how much elixir you can collect. You don't have to search for it deliberately. Anyway, the family is not short of 10% of the elixir. Everything is mainly about preserving life."

"Also, there is a high possibility that a second-level monster will appear in the depths of the secret realm, so you must not go there."

Zhao Xuemei warned carefully.

"A second-level monster, no way! Isn't it said that foundation-building cultivators cannot enter the secret realm? How could there be one?"

Zhao Mingyue was shocked. If there was a foundation-building monster, wouldn't they be going to die?

"Although the Lihuo Secret Realm is opened once every 100 years, it is not impossible for some people with strong bloodlines to break through to the second level in 100 years. The monsters in it have lived in the secret realm since childhood, which is equivalent to their world. Of course, they can break through to the foundation."

"This, ancestor, won't the Lihuo Sect eliminate the second-level monsters in it?"

"The secret realm is isolated from the world, how can they know about it? Even if they know, they don't take the second-level monsters seriously."

Looking at Zhao Mingyue's worried expression, Zhao Xuemei comforted: "Don't worry, these are all my guesses, even if there are, there won't be many."

"When the time comes, I will discuss it with the Li family. Our two families can cooperate together. With the relationship between our two families, they should agree."

Because of the cooperation between the two families in mining, the Zhao and Li families have also increased their visits in the past two years, and have more business dealings.

"Mingyue, Li Changsheng of the Li family should also enter the secret realm this time. You have been through hardships together on Thousand Poison Island before. Maybe this time will take your relationship to the next level. You should seize the opportunity."

"Grandmaster, what are you talking about!"

A blush appeared on Zhao Mingyue's face, and she immediately lowered her head.

"Li Changsheng is first-class in both appearance and strength. The ancestor saw the clues on Thousand Poison Island. You should seize the opportunity."

"Grandmaster, you make it seem like Mingyue can't get married."

Zhao Mingyue pretended to be angry. After some experience on Thousand Poison Island, she did have a good impression of Li Changsheng, but she didn't want to pay for him herself! It's not like she didn't have any suitors.

"Mingyue, this Li Changsheng is not simple. He may be a spiritual person."

Zhao Xuemei narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was a little serious.

"Spirit person? No way! I guess he has a spiritual root!"

Zhao Mingyue was also surprised.

"I have tried to find out about Li Changsheng in the past two years, but I have not found any valuable clues. I guess he was hidden by the three old ghosts of the Li family since he was born."

"Li Changsheng has both gold and fire attributes, but his combat power and cultivation speed are not what gold and fire spiritual roots can have. He must be a spiritual body with both gold and fire attributes."

Zhao Xuemei said with a firm face. Although she had no evidence, she was very sure of her guess.

"Grandmaster, what should Mingyue do?"

"Li Changsheng is not yet twenty years old and has not experienced much in the world. He is easier to deceive. Make good use of your charm. This is your opportunity and also the opportunity of my Zhao family."

"If you can become a Taoist partner with him, you will definitely have a bright future. With his support, you may ascend to the upper realm in the future, and our Zhao family will also benefit from it. It can be said that Li Changsheng is your biggest opportunity now."

Zhao Xuemei said excitedly.

When Zhao Mingyue heard this, a trace of longing flashed in her eyes, as if she saw her own future.

"Don't worry! Ancestor, I will follow Li Changsheng."

A strange light flashed in Zhao Mingyue's eyes, which was the light of ambition.
