Chapter 111 Mineral Veins

Li Tongya had been in seclusion for more than a year when he heard a soft sound outside the stone door, so he spit out a stream of white spiritual energy and said in a deep voice:

"Come in."

The stone door suddenly creaked, and a boy in his teens walked in. His face was very similar to Li Tongya's. It was Li Xuanling, and he said respectfully:

"Father, the Lu family is here again."

Li Tongya immediately shook his head and said helplessly:

"Well, hiding like this is not an option. Come with me and go out to meet them."

The Lu family came three times this year, all to see Li Tongya. Li Tongya refused to reveal his identity because his cultivation had grown too much, but Lu Sisi was very stubborn and would come every few months. , Li Tongya is afraid that if he doesn't show up, the Lu family will feel that he is dead and have some evil thoughts.

After all, practicing qi is not as good as building a foundation and eating qi for longevity. You still need to drink some water and move around every ten days and a half. There is absolutely no such thing as seclusion for several years. Once or twice is fine, but if you do it more often, people may be suspicious.

"The last time I met the Lu family was more than three years ago. At that time, I was practicing at the third level of Qi training. Now I am at the fifth level. Although the Qi training period is a grinding period, it takes three to five years for each level to be considered fast, and it can be done at full speed. Get over there..."

"Ling'er, did Lu Sisi say anything?"

Li Tongya asked as he walked, Li Xuanling said in a deep voice:

"Then Lu Sisi is very proud. He doesn't take us fetal breath seriously at all. He is not willing to talk to us."

Li Tongya smiled lowly and replied:

"This is still a Qi-training monk. If he is allowed to build a foundation, wouldn't he be extremely arrogant? Back then, senior Xiao Chuting, who was at the peak of his foundation-building cultivation, was able to put down his body and make friends with a fetal breath monk. From this point of view, superiority and inferiority are the key to success. Judgment."

Speaking of this, Li Tongya was also secretly curious. According to what Zhang Yun of the Jinyu Sect said, Xiao Chuting had become the Zifu, but he didn't know how many years he had been hiding it. He was still waiting for an opportunity. He didn't know what was going to happen. What a change!

"Xiao Chuting has lived for more than two hundred years. In the first half of his life, he led the Xiao family that was on the verge of collapse to the point of controlling the entire Lixia County, and then quietly built the Zi Mansion. He is definitely not an ordinary person, and his planning is also An earth-shattering event... My Li family and the Xiao family are very close, and I don’t know what will happen in the future..."

Just as he was thinking in his mind, he unknowingly arrived in the main courtyard. Li Tongya looked up and saw the old man Lu Sisi drinking tea in the hall. There was also a vigorous young man sitting next to him, wearing a fox robe. Fur, quite luxurious.

"Senior Lu!"

Li Tongya smiled and held his hands. Lu Sisi stood up to greet him when he saw him, but suddenly stopped and said in silence:

"Fifth level of Qi training?!"

He, Lu Sisi, is only at the sixth level of qi training. Now that he has not seen him for three years, Li Tongya is almost catching up with him.

Li Tongya laughed and explained:

"The last time I separated from my senior, I was just one step away from the fourth level of Qi training. I got the spiritual fruit in the mountains on the back foot. It took more than three years to break through, and now I have just come out!"

Li Tongya was naturally making things up. The last time he met Lu Sisi, he had just broken through the third level of Qi training, and now he has broken through for nearly three years.

However, Lu Sisi suddenly realized that after listening to Li Tongya's words, he felt that it was not too much. It seemed that he had broken through two levels in more than three years, but it was just a time difference between the front and back steps, so he said angrily:

"What good luck!"

Li Tongya smiled slightly, and Lu Sisi pulled the young man sideways and introduced:

"This is the newly promoted qi cultivator of my Lu family, called Lu Yuanlu!"

Li Tongya nodded quickly, cupped his hands and said:

"Nice to meet you."

The young man was only in his early twenties, but he was very proud. He waved his hand and said:

"Nice to meet you."

Li Tongya was stunned for a moment, and Lu Sisi on the side also smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanlu raised his chin and said loudly:

"I heard that Brother Tongya is very good at swordsmanship. Let's discuss it someday!"

After saying this, he raised his wrist, and the sword on his waist was enveloped by a layer of faint blue true energy. Only then did Li Tongya understand, dumbfounded.

"This guy is showing off his righteous practice, and he has swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is different from Xiaoqing's spiritual energy!"

After all, it is not a problem for this type of qi-training monk who has practiced the righteous method and swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the Eight Sutras to inject two or three miscellaneous qi monks. Naturally, he has the capital to be proud. Li Tongya suddenly smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:

“Brother Lu’s true energy is so enviable!”

Lu Yuanlu nodded and smiled proudly. Lu Sisi beside him looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Looking at this man, Li Tongya suddenly remembered another Lu family fool he had seen on Guanyun Peak. That man seemed to have died in the hands of the Ji family, so he whispered:

"I met a friend on Guanyun Peak who used Xiao Qing Ling Qi to practice Qi. I wonder who Lu Yuanping is..."

"It's my brother!"

"Oh? Brother Yuanlu is much better than brother Yuanping."

Lu Yuanlu raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Lu Sisi beside him couldn't bear it any longer. He was afraid that if he continued talking, his family's fortune would be revealed, so he quickly said:

"Far Continent!"

Seeing Lu Yuanlu looking at him inexplicably, Lu Sisi gritted his teeth and said:

"You shouldn't listen to what happens next. Go wait for me on the road."

Lu Yuanlu's eyes widened and his lips moved twice. Fortunately, he didn't say anything in front of outsiders. He walked away angrily without even saying goodbye.

"hehe."

Li Tongya laughed inexplicably, and Lu Sisi sighed and whispered:

"My disciple is used to being domineering at home. Please forgive me, little friend."

The good demonstration turned into a disgrace, and Lu Sisi became even more embarrassed. He looked at Li Xuanling who was standing next to him and sighed:

"I think the nobles are very strict in running their families, so we still need to learn more."

"I wonder if senior is here this time?"

Li Tongya was too lazy to waste time with him and asked directly.

Only then did Lu Sisi come back to his senses. The white beard on his face fluttered and he said in a concentrated voice:

"A few years ago, monks from the Zi Mansion attacked Qingchi Mountain with great momentum. I heard that Tianyuan and his spiritual array were all sacrificed."

Li Tongya was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief:

"Qingchi Mountain? Attacking the Qingchi Sect? Are you crazy?! Which force dares to be so arrogant?"

"Who knows?"

When Lu Sisi saw Li Tongya's reaction, his face was full of pride, and he also found some pride in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, it was a war. The Qingchi Sect lost face for the first time in more than a hundred years. Do you know how the Xian Sect dealt with it?"

"How to deal with it?"

Li Tongya asked curiously.

"Come forward and explain, let's leave it at that!"

"The majestic Qingchi Immortal Sect actually gave up so quietly! Do you know why?"

Li Tongya had some guesses in his mind, but with a look of disbelief on his face, he asked:

"Why?"

"I heard... there is a Zifu from the Qingchi Sect who wants to be immortalized!"

Lu Sisi spoke in a low voice, with a look of excitement on his face. He squeezed the jade Ruyi in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice:

"It is said that there will be changes in the next few years! You must be prepared."

Li Tongya nodded repeatedly, knowing that the old man from the Lu family wanted to do a favor, so he said seriously:

"Thank you, senior, for informing me!"

Lu Sisi nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said:

"There is something else important this time. It concerns the Li family, my Lu family and the An family."

"The An family has a pulse-finding technique. They have been surveying the boundary of my house in the past few days, and they said that a green black mine was found at the junction of your family and mine."

As soon as he said this, Li Tongya's face suddenly became happy and he said continuously:

"What's the output? Where does the vein go?"

Qingwu Mine is a common material used by Fetus Qi Practitioners to forge magic weapons. If mined properly, the income of more than a dozen spiritual stones a year will not be a problem, which naturally makes Li Tongya very happy.

Lu Sisi smashed his mouth and said with some regret:

"The micro-ore veins traverse several miles from east to west. If the veins are not long and winding and go deep into your territory, it would be best for me to encircle them and mine them myself."

Li Tongya suddenly became happy and said with a smile:

"This matter is of great importance. I have to go and see it myself. Why don't you lead me there, Senior Lu?"

Lu Sisi nodded and replied:

"That's natural. I'll take you to explore first. We need to discuss mining and profit sharing later."
