Chapter 389 Meng Family Father and Daughter

Wangyue Lake and Qingchi Mountain are thousands of miles apart. It would take two days and two nights for a Qi Practitioner to fly at full strength day and night, not to mention meditate and adjust the breath in between. It would take six or seven days to go there, and it would take half a month to come and go.

In addition, the territory of Qingchi Sect is not very peaceful, and there are many mountains to go around. Li Yuanjiao entrusted the Yuan family to take the letter from home, and it has been more than a month since I received the reply.

The Yuan family valued the Li family very much. Yuan Huyuan went into seclusion. The person who sent the letter was his eldest son. He delivered the letter respectfully, talked and laughed in a moderate manner, and then said goodbye.

‘…Handwritten on the 28th Eve of the Spring Moon…Congratulations to my father for his breakthrough in foundation building…Does your family know about the East Fire Cave Heaven? If you obtain the items from the East Fire Cave Heaven, you can use them for your own use below the foundation level. Zifu’s elixirs, secret techniques, and techniques will be sent to Qingchi as soon as possible without any delay...'

"The child has benefited from Donghuo. He has reached the fourth level of Qi training yesterday. My brother is young, so I hope my father won't be too harsh on me... I got a few pill prescriptions from Donghuo Cave. I am attaching this letter. My family can make a profit from it." Don't tell anyone...'

"Jun Di's "Cold Truffle Snow Technique", I asked the Yang family about it, and they said that there is no inheritance of this Tao from the Zifu in the Yue Kingdom. There is only some information in the far northwest of the Wu Kingdom, and you can practice it with ease, don't worry. ’

After Li Yuanjiao read the letter, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little better:

"Before we have time to ask about Xi Jun's matter, Zhi'er has already found out. With this news, Jun'er can practice boldly."

There was a small bead hanging at the end of the letter, which contained several elixir recipes. It was crystal clear and very beautiful. Li Yuanjiao thought about it twice and said to himself:

‘Qingchi’s technique is good, these beads are much more convenient than jade slips. ’

So I took a look with my spiritual sense and found out that they were [Three Complete Realm Breaking Pills] and [Second Solution to the Continuing Salvation Spirit Pill]. These two pills are extremely difficult to refine and are very valuable.

Li Yuanjiao put away the things and thought:

'Let Ximing break through the foundation building first, and then study these two things... Qingchi's spiritual energy is strong, and his talent for healing children is high. He can actually surpass Ming'er when he concentrates on practicing. ’

This head flew up, passed through the formation of Qingdu Peak, and fell to the lake.

The weather is cold, and there are many broken ice floating in the dark blue lake. Just as we got close to the lake, the waves on the lake were rough, the dark blue water kept rising, and the ice floes made a clicking sound.

A black snake head as big as a carriage rose from the water. The demonic aura rose and a flash of inspiration appeared. Li Wushao changed his body shape and transformed into a young man in black, holding his fists to greet him.

"Wusao has met his master!"

He lowered his head and said respectfully:

"I have respected the master's order, swept the coast of the five peaks, subdued three monsters in the lake, practiced Qi, breathed twenty-five, and collected twenty-six kinds of spiritual objects."

The monster turned around and clapped his hands softly, and his magic power surged:

"Everyone, come out!"

After saying this, the dark blue lake water broke open, and three monsters flew out. They all stood up awkwardly and stopped in the air riding on the monster wind.

Li Yuanjiao took a look and saw two fat-headed herring monsters, one big and one small, in the middle and early stages of Qi training respectively. There was also a black lake turtle in the early stage of Qi training. They were very nervous and stood blankly in the air. Floating.

Li Yuanjiao waved his hand casually, and the three demons were amnestied and went down. Li Wushao cupped his hands and said:

"My subordinates have already explored the lake surface on the east coast. There are no foundation-building monsters. We have sent a small team to go deep into the lake to look for them."

"As the head of the family mentioned, Wu Shao has already circled several lakes with strong spiritual energy, and sent the two herrings to find spiritual fish fry that can summon spiritual energy to raise..."

Li Wushao continued:

"My subordinate also took An Zouyan to explore the bottom of the lake twice. There are three veins that are suspected to contain mineral veins. I sent a group of little demons to dig and test them. We should have news soon."

"good!"

Li Yuanjiao nodded with satisfaction.

After finally subduing a foundation-building monster, using Li Wushao as a thug is really an act of extortion. The Shui tribe has always been strong-willed and likes to stick together, so the appeal of a foundation-building monster around the lake is quite impressive. Only a few spiritual things can be harvested from the lake, but now it can finally be fully developed.

'Cultivation of spiritual fish, collection of spiritual objects, mining of mineral veins, spying on information...these monsters who practice Qi and fetal breath are different from monks. They can walk on the bottom of the lake without holding the water avoidance technique, and they are very efficient at their work. ’

He smiled slightly:

‘The most important thing is that these monsters don’t need to pay their clan stipends! ’

Seeing that Li Yuanjiao seemed to be in a good mood, Li Wushao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's just that these little ones have become demons under their subordinates, but they don't have anything to protect themselves. From time to time, random cultivators pass by the lake and catch one or two..."

Li Yuanjiao nodded and ordered:

"Go to the Yu Ting Guards to get some identity jade tokens back, and give the monsters in Yu Jing Lun a bodyguard. A team of monsters below Yu Jing Lun will follow. The casual cultivators who come and go will give my family some face and won't embarrass you."

"yes!"

Li Wushao responded, and Li Yuanjiao asked:

"Since the traces of monsters in the lake are hard to find, in your opinion, are there any foundation-building monsters that can be caught near the entrance of Xuanyue Salt Lake?"

After subduing Li Wushao, his family sacrificed to Xi Mingxi Junluqi and lost a foundation-building monster. Li Yuanjiao asked Li Wushao to search for a while at the bottom of the lake. The monster in the lake was very cunning and unpredictable, so Li Yuanjiao had to find it. The idea was to reach the East China Sea.

Li Wushao replied:

"It seems to me that except for the [Blue Water Dragon] at the entrance to the sea, the rest are mediocre people. If the master wants to subdue him, I'm afraid..."

Li Yuanjiao shook his head, and Li Wushao understood immediately and replied:

"Master has the array in his hand, and all the beasts in the lake are no match for me... If I want to kill or capture them, I can't even think about them."

Li Yuanjiao nodded:

"In that case, before Kong Tingyun comes, quickly catch a monster and bring it back."

…

Li Yuanjiao and Li Wushao rode the wind to the east, and Li Qinghong went to the mushroom forest to retreat. Qingdu Mountain became empty. Li Ximing practiced in the courtyard all day long, and only Li Xijun guarded the mountain.

The cold weather has not subsided on this day, and Qingdu Peak is not short either. You can see some snow on the top. Li Xijun practices the "Cold Truffle Snow Technique". Taking advantage of the heavy snowfall in the past few months, he broke through the second level of Qi training in seclusion.

I had just come out of seclusion and had not touched a sword for a long time. I suddenly felt like fighting. I searched all over the mountain for people. I caught Li Wen from Qingdu Cave and started a fight.

Although Li Wen was at the third level of Qi training, he was no match for him in a fight. The two pumpkin hammers were particularly cumbersome, and Li Xijun's swordsmanship was very clever, so he was defeated one after another.

Li Xijun was dressed in white and held a sword in his hand. He held Li Wen's two pumpkin sledgehammers in front of him from left and right, and hit Li Wen's heart with one sword. He won three out of three battles and beat this stupid man up.

The stupid man muttered, unable to say anything flattering. He just threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, sat on the ground, and said:

"Young master is mighty."

Li Xijun had just broken through the second level of Qi training, his eyes twinkled and he said warmly:

"Brother Wen, your cultivation level is quite good. You are the only one among the branches who is outstanding. I hope you can practice more diligently and don't fall behind."

There are many people with the surname Li who practice qi, but those with the surname Li don’t practice much. Except for Li Xuanxuan, Li Xiyao from the mountain, Li Xijun in front of me, and Li Ximing from the alchemy room, the most confidant is Li Wen.

Li Wen practiced the quick "Knocking Court Suiwei Jue". He practiced Qi when he was less than thirty. After practicing Qi, he should have been much slower, but his mind was pure and his heart was diligent in seeking the truth. Now he was at the third level of Qi training, no better than Chen Mufeng has several different surnames.

Li Xijun had a deep affection for this honest and loyal man and often sought him out to practice fighting against enemies. Li Wen lived up to his expectations and made rapid progress in the past two years.

Li Wen nodded and hummed:

"My subordinate understands."

Li Xijun smiled slightly, sheathed the long sword in his hand, counted the days, and said to himself:

"Xi is refining elixirs every day, and his cultivation level has not dropped much. He is twenty-three years old and is at the third level of Qi training. If he gives the pig demon's white basket, he may be able to reach the fifth level of Qi training and reach the eighth level of Qi training within seven years. , plus Lu Dan, our family also has a foundation-building genius in his thirties! ’

Thinking of this, Li Xijun murmured:

"It's better to ask Uncle Ping and relieve him of some of the burden..."

Li Xijun thought silently as he walked on Qingdu Mountain for a while, landed in front of the Dan Pavilion, and stopped in front of the door, listening to the intimate sounds inside, with a slightly weird expression on his face.

"Mr. Lang..."

After a long while, the women in the courtyard retreated, and Li Xijun stepped into the courtyard. Li Ximing in front of him was very relaxed, holding a jade slip in his hand, with a look of contentment on his face.

"Brother Ming."

Li Xijun called out. Seeing Li Xijun come in, Li Ximing put down the jade slip, tightened his belt, and said with a smile:

"Why are you free to come here today?"

Li Xijun's temperament was restrained, and he frowned slightly. He couldn't help but say something to him again. Seeing that Li Ximing was rarely in a good mood, he didn't want to disturb his temperament, so he said tactfully:

"Where did this woman come from?"

Li Ximing replied:

"My concubine, Mrs. Dou, is hard to find an heir to practice qi... In my spare time..."

Li Xijun let out a long breath, looked at his anxious look, couldn't help laughing, and replied:

"You are so erotic, I don't know who you are like."

Li Ximing smiled awkwardly and said:

"Stop making fun of me."

Li Xijun saw that his momentum was rising and he was showing signs of improvement, so he couldn't help but say:

"How long does it take to break through the fourth level of Qi training?"

"Just a year and a half."

Li Ximing answered naturally.

Li Ximing in front of him had already broken through the third level of Qi training, and Li Xizhi in the sect had reached the fourth level of Qi training. Li Xijun couldn't help but sigh:

"This difference in talent is really enviable."

Li Xizhi is five or six years older, so it is normal for him to have a higher level of cultivation. This is not the case for Li Ximing. The two are close in age. Li Xi makes alchemy every day, reads some alchemy books from time to time, and even invites a few actors to listen to music in his spare time. He is living a good life. Carefree and at ease.

Li Xijun, on the other hand, practiced hard and sharpened his swordsmanship day by day, but he was still being overpowered and falling behind step by step. Now the gap has become wider and wider.

Fortunately, Li Xijun was very energetic, restrained and always treated them calmly. Although the two brothers had a big quarrel, Li Xijun felt guilty and had no way to get angry, while Li Ximing was very comfortable letting go, and there was no barrier in the future.

Li Xijun sighed, Li Ximing shook his head thoughtfully and said:

"In fact, every time I do things in my boudoir, I feel more and more diligent, and the Huang Yuan in my body becomes more active, like a raging fire. Perhaps it is for this reason that I can break through the third level of Qi training so quickly."

"Is this happening?"

Li Xijun was stunned for a moment, looked over suspiciously, and asked:

"Is this an excuse for you to have fun?"

Li Ximing pretended to be angry and said:

"What are you talking about!"

The two had fun for a while. Li Xijun suddenly looked far into the distance and saw two clear lights coming from the east. As soon as they approached the boundary, they were intercepted by the Yuting Guards and stopped in the air for a long time.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Li Xijun whispered something in a low voice and rode the wind. Because of the different techniques, the wind he rode was bitingly cold. He was very fast in the lingering cold weather and reached the Yuting Guards in two breaths.

The Yuting guard in front of him was from the Chen family. He had just broken through in Qi training. When he saw Li Xijun, he cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, these two people claim to be sent by the Xiao family. They say they are looking for their ancestors. They have a letter written by the ancestor of the Xiao family in their hands."

Li Xijun's spiritual consciousness swept away, and he saw that there were two people, one old and one young. The old man had a straight face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was at the ninth level of Qi training. The woman had fair skin, but was still pregnant, and had a good appearance. She stood sideways and glanced at him. .

Seeing that the old man was at the ninth level of Qi training, Li Xijun silently opened a small distance and then asked:

"Your Excellency, Li Xijun of the Li family, I wonder if you two were ordered by a senior of the Xiao family and why?"

The old man raised his hands and answered:

"My dear Meng Taizhi, I am just a casual practitioner. I practiced around Jianmen in the early years and made friends with Patriarch Yuan Si. My daughter fell short in Qi training, so she was recommended by him and came to the lake to find a place to stay and collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. "

As he spoke, he pointed to the woman next to him. This woman acted very appropriately. She bowed and said softly:

"My dear, Meng Zhuoyun, I have met my senior."

Li Xijun took the letter from Yu Tingwei and did not open it rashly. He just took it with his magic power. Seeing the familiar format, he believed it for a while and replied:

"Please wait a moment, I will ask the elders."

So he pointed out a place for him to stay in the town, told Yu Tingwei to lead people to watch, and then rode the wind to Lijing town.

Li Xijun is a monk on Qingdu Peak and has a very high status in the clan. He walked through the middle hall twice. His uncle Li Yuanping sat high on the head, and Li Xiya listened carefully beside him.

Li Yuanping heard that he had reported the news, and his follower Dou Yi had already unfolded the letter and presented it to him.

"...The Meng family and my daughter came here to collect Qi for about twenty years on the basis of my family's friendship. They don't have to look at my face. They can act as guests and arrange whatever they want. After twenty years, they can stay or go as they please..."

"Fellow Taoist Taizhi is good at smelting mineral essence. The little girl Zhuo Yun has even trained under an overseas alchemist. She can show off her skills under the rule of the nobles..."

Li Yuanping glanced up and down. It was indeed Xiao Yuansi's handwriting, and he only said:

"Since it is Patriarch Yuan Si who has spoken, he sent someone to ask the Meng family what they need, and a place has been arranged for him."

Li Xi'ao nodded in agreement and replied:

"The juniors will try their skills first, and then report to the head of the family."

Li Yuanping nodded. Xiao Yuansi meant that the Meng family and the Li family could benefit from each other, and they also had good intentions. Although the Li family did not lack these two people at the moment, it was rare for them to repay Xiao Yuansi's favor, so they still had to accept it.

He coughed twice and frowned:

"Remember to send someone to keep an eye on it."

Li Xiya agreed and said respectfully:

"The sacrifices at home have been arranged. We are just waiting for the return of the second uncle and senior Wu Shao."

Thanks to the leader of Mr. Shenxi...

I’ll add an update tomorrow. I’m afraid of writing too much, so I’ve tried my best to skip over the repetitive plots like catching monsters^
