Chapter 405 News comes

Qingdu Cave.

The closed stone door slowly opened, and Li Qinghong stepped out lightly, his breath steady and strong, the thunder on his body much restrained, except for a little cold light on the tips of his hair and the corners of his clothes.

During this period of seclusion, Li Qinghong has stabilized her cultivation. Compared with the dazzling brilliance during her previous breakthrough, it now seems less dazzling, and it is difficult to see her immortal foundation at a glance.

Li Yuanjiao had already made an agreement with her to follow Li Xuanxuan and the others in the Xuanwen Lingwu to Hengzhu Daomen in Hengdong County, and Li Qinghong went out to look after the house.

At that moment, he went out in the wind, wearing jade boots and walking on purple lightning. Li Xiya was dealing with affairs in the middle hall. There were two piles of letters piled on the desk, and he looked very busy.

Li Qinghong just fell down, and everyone in the palace fell to their knees. Li Xi'ao also stood up quickly and said respectfully:

"Auntie is out of the mountain... The thunder altar is already being built. There is still 60% of the construction period and it can be completed within a year."

"good."

Li Qinghong responded kindly. Her Immortal Foundation [Xuanleibo] has the effect of praying for thunder and drawing electricity, but she doesn't know if it has the effect yet, so she can only build a high platform to try it out first.

Li Qinghong had sent people to build a high platform earlier. This high platform was very troublesome. He had to burn formation patterns, collect spiritual objects, and create thirty-six kinds of bronze vessels with six sides and six corners. Even a foundation-building monk would have to spend a lot of effort. .

Fortunately, the Li family had a lot of hands. Li Qinghong only burned the pattern formation, so naturally Li Ximao sent someone to do it.

Li Xi'ao responded, took out two small letters from the case, and said respectfully:

"The Yu Tingwei who came to Xu and Zhao at home sent back news. Please take a look at it."

Li Qinghong made a move with her delicate hands, and the two letters were unfolded in front of her one after the other.

One message was from the State of Zhao. [Lihuo Qiang] Chu Yi went all the way north in the State of Zhao, destroyed three Hu Jie nobles, destroyed six large and small temples, faced a group of pursuers and broke through the Zi Mansion, and then paid homage to the Zi Mansion. On a certain peak in Luoxia, I went into the mountain to practice.

Li Qinghong was stunned. He didn't know how much preparation he had to do to build a foundation and break through the Zifu. He was looking for a suitable place to retreat, looking for various spiritual objects to set up formations, and waiting for the inspiration from heaven and earth to match the immortal foundation. Fit.

Even after making so many preparations, he still had to prepare all kinds of elixirs and spend many years in seclusion in various formations.

'This Chu Yi's breakthrough seems like a joke. He broke through just as he said he would break through... Breaking through the Zi Mansion after just a few months of seclusion is simply unheard of. ’

’ He has already broken through the Zi Mansion…it’s only been ten years or so…and he’s broken through so easily…he is undoubtedly the reincarnation of Jin Dan. ’

It only took ten years for Chu Yi to break through the foundation building and achieve the Purple Mansion. He almost told the world clearly that Chu Yi was the reincarnation of Jin Dan. The three Hu Jie nobles and the six temples were nothing more than victims pushed by Shi Xiu and could not understand. Poor guy about the situation.

"Ten years...it's really a golden elixir method."

It's just that the letter didn't mention Chu Yi's Immortal Foundation, nor his magical powers. It must be that he couldn't find out such news, which made Li Qinghong a little regretful.

‘Luoxia Mountain has almost no contact with Jiangnan. When Chu Yi entered the mountain, he must have sat back in his golden elixir fruit position and never returned. ’

As for the Yufu County family and the forces that were wiped out, no one cared about it. Li Qinghong glanced at it and wrote it down, then read another small letter:

It was said that a group of demonic cultivators came to the barren mountains by the river in the north and occupied several hills. It was originally an innocuous thing. If a random cultivator had not escaped here, the Li family would not even know about it.

But according to what the casual cultivator said, the demonic cultivators were not very advanced, but one of them was holding a blood-colored mirror, which was very powerful. There was also a lot of information behind it.

"Bloody Mirror?!"

Li Qinghong's eyes suddenly turned cold:

"Zhang Huaide?!"

Li Xi'ao nodded and responded in a low voice:

"According to the description of the casual cultivator, this animal should be correct!"

When there was a demonic disaster, a group of demonic cultivators came to the west. Among them were Zhang Huaide, Qiu Ji and others. They killed Tian Youdao, injured Li Xuanxuan and Xu Gongming and fled. Zhang Huaide was a man with a background and used the escape method to escape completely. It's a bloody mirror.

It doesn't matter Zhang Huaide, that Qiu Ji was the culprit who killed his brother Li Yuanyun and almost killed Li Xuanxuan. Li Qinghong hated him deeply and only whispered:

"What kind of cultivation is he now?"

"It is said that he has reached the ninth level of Qi training."

Li Xiya gritted his teeth and answered:

"All the demon cultivators are Qi cultivators, most of them are in the middle or late stages of Qi training."

He was thinking about how to persuade his aunt next, but Li Qinghong looked hesitant:

'My brother is out, and most of the family's combat strength has been reduced. At this time, Zhang Huaide comes? ’

Although she felt deep hatred in her heart, she understood that this might not be a coincidence. She swallowed her breath and said softly:

"It's too strange. Send someone to investigate again."

"yes!"

Li Xi'ao nodded in agreement, feeling relieved, and Li Qinghong said:

"Send someone to find out the location. I'll ask Wu Shao to go there and investigate a little more. Zhang Huaide has a good background. He might be a secret agent of the Three Sects. There must be something fishy staying here."

Li Xi'ao responded respectfully, and then Li Qinghong took advantage of the wind and asked again and again:

"Let's ask clearly! It's too much of a coincidence that the casual cultivator defected to my house. Don't believe it."

Li Xi'ao nodded in agreement, watched Li Qinghong leave, returned to the top, flipped through the ledger, looked down at Dou Yi, and said softly:

“One hundred and eighty-one pounds, is this all this year’s [Ni Shui Han Tie]?”

Dou Yi's hair was already gray and he looked much more stable. He said in a deep voice:

"Go back to my lord, that's all."

"good."

Li Xiya let him go down very kindly and waved. Chen Mufeng behind him stepped forward. Li Xiya said softly:

"This [Ni Shui Han Tie] is not the same as the number of changes in the mineral veins reported by An Junyan. You quietly send out the Yuting Guards to check... If you are caught, come back and report to me first."

Chen Mufeng has been working with him for many years and said in a deep voice:

"This method is too stupid... You can tell by checking the reserves of this vein. How much is missing does not match what was mined. There must be something wrong. How can you hide it privately?"

The Li family has "Listening to the Diting", which makes the changes in the mineral veins clear at a glance. All aristocratic families are indispensable for this method. Only the Xiao family and other aristocratic families can generously hand over the mineral veins to their affiliated families for mining, and there is no way to hide it privately.

Li Xiya shook his head:

"The mine was reported as one hundred and eighty one kilograms, but I privately sent someone to check it in the warehouse. It was one hundred and ninety kilograms, and no one was hiding it."

"Maybe he secretly tested it when he saw me running the house for the first time. If I were to make a big move, I would go back to the warehouse and calculate it again, and then I would find out that it is one hundred and ninety kilograms."

"In this case, the most I can do is accuse them of being careless, and then use the accounting monk as a scapegoat to try my methods."

Li Xi'ao has not followed Li Yuanping for nearly ten years in vain. Regardless of his methods, he can at least see through the twists and turns underneath, and said with some hesitation:

"You go and investigate first, and report to me if you have any news. My aunt's matter is important, so it doesn't hurt to let it go."

Chen Mufeng accepted the order and went down. Li Xi'ao thought for a while, got up and rode the wind, went up Qingdu Mountain, circled around, and landed gently in an ordinary small courtyard.

He knocked on the door and went in. Li Yuanping was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a pen in his hand and recording something carefully.

Li Yuanping seemed to be in good spirits, but his hands were trembling and he could not hold the pen steadily.

Li Xi'ao then stepped forward, and Li Yuanping asked:

"How to deal with Yu Yu?"

Li Xi'ao hesitated for a while and replied:

"In this matter... the monks of the small sect were used as scapegoats. We should start with the small sect. Many brothers obey me. It should not be difficult to find out who secretly changed the number before and after this incident..."

"But another scapegoat was found."

Li Yuanping shook his head and said softly:

"I'll teach you one last time..."

"This test is just to understand your preferences and test your bottom line. All the forces under my command have benefited together, and most of them acquiesce and support. The monks of the Xiao Sect are also the scapegoats promoted from within the Xiao Sect... If you start from the Xiao Sect, it means you are friendly. Trust the branches, whether you rely on Yutingwei, start with the Dou family, or start with Fufeng, it all reveals your preference."

Li Yuanping said softly:

"The most taboo thing about this matter is that the interests of all the monks under my command are the same, but they are contrary to yours. On the surface, Xiao Zong is the victim, but he also agrees to admit it. The only victim is the innocent monk."

Li Xi'ao listened carefully, Li Yuanping smiled coldly and replied:

"You only need to send someone to the warehouse to secretly turn that 190 kilograms into 181 kilograms. This rabble will naturally defeat itself!"

Li Xi'ao was stunned for a moment, nodded suddenly, and said happily:

"Yes!"

He nodded repeatedly and murmured:

"The implications are huge now! Xiao Zong will definitely not be able to sit still and will doubt which party made the lie come true. He can only point out the other side. No one of the seven or eight forces can stand it. They will definitely bite each other. I only need to sit high and take the lead. Ruling one or two, restrain the strong and support the weak, maintain balance..."

Li Yuanping never responded to him and wrote silently. Li Xi'ao had some concerns in his heart, bowed deeply and withdrew.

Li Yuanping counted the days, wrote family history, and waited for a while before he saw Li Qinghong coming in on electric power and sitting next to him. He pursed his red lips and said nothing, just sitting like this.

The two siblings sat facing each other quietly, and the cool breeze of early spring came slowly. Li Yuanping had not met this sister much, and they did not grow up together. He paused and finally said:

"What happened to Zhang Huaide is fishy. Please bear with your anger...Don't be impulsive."

Li Qinghong only said softly:

"Of course I understand. I've endured it for so many years. I'm afraid that if you endure it for a long time, you will easily forget it."

Li Yuanping groaned, put down his pen, and replied:

"That's why we need to write history."

Li Qinghong looked at the pages he had placed and said:

"Although Xi'an is not very tough, he still tries his best. I can see the changes in him over the past ten years. He is a completely different person."

Li Yuanping nodded and replied:

"I see."

…

Li Qinghong had been practicing spearmanship on the mountain for several days. Before the demon cultivators in the north could find out clearly, a demon deer had come from the south and landed in front of the mountain in a sensible manner. He asked An Zouyan and others to report it first, and then behaved accordingly. Arrive into the mountains.

She said she was looking for Li Yuanjiao, but now her brother was out and could only be met by Li Qinghong. The demon deer knelt on all fours in front of her and uttered human words:

"I am reporting to the Immortal that my lord has found clues to the [Blood Tun Fruit]. I would like to ask you, senior, to follow me to the mountains and have a detailed discussion with my lord."

"good!"

A smile appeared on Li Qinghong's face, he nodded, and called Li Wushao out of the lake, asking him to look at his home carefully while he followed the demon deer riding the wind into the mountains.

Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong talked about the foundation-building deer demon road reclamation. Now he has set up a demon cave at the northern foot. He chose a mountain that is not very high. The foot of the mountain is very gentle, and many deer have moved here.

Li Qinghong and Xiaoyao arrived at the cave, and Lu Ken came out naturally, with brown hair and black eyes, and was slightly startled:

"Your Excellency is...?"

"My dear Li Qinghong, my brother Li Yuanjiao is out of town due to family matters, so I came here."

Li Qinghong responded with a smile. The deer demon blinked his eyes and nodded:

"I met fellow Taoists in Xialuken."

Lu Ken didn't bother to see her, he cupped his hands and said:

"Brother asked me to find a precious medicine [Xuetun Fruit]. Now that I have found clues, I will inform the nobles."

Li Qinghong nodded and continued:

"I made inquiries in many places, and a fellow Taoist from Nanlu once wrote back to me, saying that he had seen a tiger demon displaying this object in the Quanwu Mountain Demon Cave. The description in the letter matches everything, and it should be the [Blood Tun Fruit] without a doubt."

Li Qinghong nodded slightly, but Lu Ken shook his sleeves and said simply:

"This demon still has a certain status in the Quanwu Demon Cave, but unfortunately he is not a big shot after all. He is easy to bully."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. It's better for you and me to ride the wind and grab its precious medicine, so as to avoid any changes after a long time."

Lu Ken takes it for granted:

"You and I will grab this spiritual fruit first, and then try to see if we can kill it. If we can kill it, it's best. If we can't, forget it."

"If you can't grab it, try buying it again."

Li Qinghong had no choice but to nod. After all, the monsters were not the same kind. They acted directly and unabashedly. She asked:

"What kind of cultivation is this tiger demon?"

"Middle stage of foundation building."

Lu Ken looked at her face, understood his concerns, and responded:

"He is just an unorthodox demon general. He cannot learn human magic. He only has demon power. There is no need for the fairy to worry."

He smiled:

"It only lasts a few months. You will understand when fellow Taoists meet you."

Li Qinghong nodded and sensed the mysterious thunder in the Qi Sea Thunder Pond. He was indeed confident and said politely:

"please."

As he rode the wind away, the two of them flew up into the clouds. Lu Ken seemed to be estimating her age and sighed:

"The inheritance of the nobles is really exquisite... The speed of cultivation of your brother and sister is considered fast even among the aristocratic families... I am ashamed of asking me to wait for such an old man who has been practicing for hundreds of years."

Li Qinghong said a few words modestly, and Lu Kenfu added:

"I wonder who Taoist friend is? At any rate, we are going to join forces to fight against the enemy. Let's get some relief first."

As he spoke, the deer demon first displayed his magic power, a pair of big horns appeared on his forehead, and his voice became rough. The demon wind he was riding was fresh and pleasant, full of vitality. He said in a deep voice:

"What I am cultivating below is [Ling Yun Wood], which can heal, control Qi, nourish spirits, cultivate earth veins, and transform into vegetation..."

As soon as his immortal base was revealed, the speed of riding the wind was significantly faster. Li Qinghong nodded lightly, purple lightning appeared under his feet, and his speed was even faster. Purple lightning flashed from his jade armor, and he whispered softly:

"[Xuanleibo] drives away thunder and creates lightning, eliminates demons and suppresses evil."
