"A week after you left Daye City, there were a lot of cultivators from the northwest who came to Daye City."

Qingtan poured Li Changjing a cup of tea and said in a gentle tone: "Later, I learned that these cultivators in the northwest are probably divided into two groups, one is the Du family, and the other is the Zhang family. ”

Li Changjing narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "On the way back just now, I met Du Ruolin, the young lady of the Du family...... It seems that these two families have relocated, right? ”

"Yes." Qingtan approached him a little, nodded and said: "First of all, the Zhang family, I don't know what means were used, but they actually united with the Wang family of Daye City, the Zhang family has many powerful cultivators, there are twenty in the Mortal Realm, and two are half-step immortals. ”

"Is there really a half-step to ascend to the immortal?" Li Changjing was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little shocked, he thought that Du Ruolin was joking.

Qingtan looked worried, and nodded slightly, "Not only the Zhang family, but the Du family also has two immortal realms. ”

"The Du family is different from the Wang family, they use tough means to force the seven families of Daye City to submit to themselves, among them, in addition to the Xu and Huo families, which are deep-rooted and profound, they are not afraid of the Du family for the time being, but the remaining four families, the Cheng family first stated that it merged with the Xu family, and the remaining three families were all taken together by the Du family, and they became the most powerful family in Daye City in one fell swoop, with a lot of money and land, and even the Furong Center of our shop is also their product."

"I see." Li Changjing's expression was a little solemn.

The Great Cause City lacked spiritual opportunities, and among the seven major families, it was rare to even have an extraordinary realm, so naturally it was impossible to withstand the large number of cultivators in the northwest, and it was reasonable to be forcibly merged.

But what Li Changjing couldn't understand was that the Du family and the Zhang family, where did they come from so many masters, not only were they everywhere out of the mortal realm, but they even had half-step immortals? !

Isn't there only one Lu Yun in the northwest who is this kind of realm?

"The original seven families of Daye City have existed in name only, and only the four families of Xu, Huo, Du, and Zhang are left." Qingtan sighed, "Also, the Zhang family has always been eyeing the Huo family, not only taking advantage of the business, but also using force to exert pressure, among which Huo Zhen Huo Second Master took the lead in bringing half of the investors of the Huo Group to join the Zhang family, which led to the separation and collapse of the Huo family, leaving only Miss Huo San struggling to support the operation of the group. ”

"As for the Du family, they have been dealing with the Xu family, I heard that a large part of the Xu family's shareholders have withdrawn their capital and switched to the Du family, but I don't know why, the Du family seems to have great concerns, and they dare not force the Xu family to be too tight, and the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly, and have used a lot of means against each other."

"The Zhang family deals with the Huo family, and the Du family deals with the Xu family...... Li Changjing frowned, and said coldly: "Division of labor and cooperation, well water does not interfere with river water, it seems that someone behind him is planning something, and he will make a big move in the next step." ”

Although the business world is all about strategy and vision, if cultivators get involved, the situation will be one-sided. What's the use of your wisdom? In front of the half-step ascending immortal master, any resistance is futile, and the other party can even kill you, and the relevant departments can't find anything, which is the most frightening point.

Therefore, in the face of overwhelming force, the seven major families of Daye City compromised step by step, and were finally directly annexed by the Du and Zhang families, Li Changjing understood very well.

"Has our shop been pressured?" Li Changjing asked suddenly.

Qing Tan sighed faintly, "Our shop sells pills, but in the eyes of cultivators, it is fragrant buns, how can it not be pressured?" The Du family is okay, the young lady named Du Ruolin said that she was friends with you, so she has always been very polite to me, as for the Zhang family...... There is the Wang family inside, and the Zhang family has an enmity with you, so the attitude is very tough, and he has given us an ultimatum half a month ago, threatening to either settle in the Zhang family, and only sell pills to the Zhang family in the future, or directly remove the name in Daye City, and can only choose one of the two. ”

Li Changjing smiled slightly, "So, it was the Zhang family who beat you?" ”

Qingtan stopped talking, neither denying nor admitting it.

"What's the name of the person who hit you?" Li Changjing asked again.

Qing Tan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, grabbed his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I know you are very powerful, but you are just out of the world, but the Zhang family has two half-step immortals, and we can't beat others at all." ”

"I'm not so squeamish, just beat, I can bear it, don't tear your face with the Zhang family for me, you care so much about me...... I'm already happy, it's really enough. ”

Li Changjing looked at her anxious expression, and his heart throbbed.

When did I, Li Changjing's people, be bullied, and swallow my anger so much?

What about a half-step to ascend to the immortal, it is stronger than easy to find smoke? Stronger than the ice three? Stronger than an ironclad dragon turtle?

Li Changjing has always eaten soft rather than hard, and what he can't stand the most is the threat of others, your Zhang family beats me, and you want to get rid of my shop, right? Okay, this mortal feud is settled, let's see whose means are a little harder, and see who will be removed from Daye City in the end!

"Don't worry." Li Changjing raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Qingtan's eyes, and said softly: "I am measured, and I will not act recklessly." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Qingtan burst into tears and laughed, and suddenly felt in a good mood, only to feel that the pressure and grievances he had received in the past two months had all disappeared.

"Get up, let me see you." Qingtan pulled Li Changjing up from the sofa, and the latter obediently opened his hands and let her look carefully.

"You've lost a little weight, but you're stronger." Qingtan touched his chest and helped him straighten his collar by the way.

"Let me see you, too." Li Changjing pretended to look left and right around Qingtan, and nodded frequently: "Well, yes, it's really second-order, and the skin is a little whiter, and the legs are longer." ”

Qing Tan's face was a little red, he hammered him, and said angrily: "Rogue, where are your eyes looking." It's just that although he said this, he intentionally or unintentionally moved a pair of slender and flawless legs closer to Li Changjing, so that he could see more carefully.

Qingtan knows very well in her heart that what she is most proud of is her legs, if a woman doesn't even dare to show her most confident appearance to the person she likes, it is actually a very sad thing.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Li Changjing retracted his gaze and shouted, "Come in."

The office door creaked open, and Lu Li's handsome face appeared outside the door.

"Brother Lu!" Li Changjing laughed, stepped forward, hugged Lu Li, and hugged him until he couldn't breathe before letting go.

"Brother Li, I heard from Miss Lin Jia that you came back, so I rushed back in advance." Lu Li was naturally happy, since they hurriedly parted in the Xuanyin stream, the two had not seen each other for more than a month.

"I just bought a cart of medicinal herbs back in Xia, Brother Li, you come to help check and see how the quality is." Lu Li gave Li Changjing a look.

Li Changjing tacitly agreed, said hello, turned around and said hello to Qingtan, and then came to the outside of the shop with Lu Li.

It wasn't until he was far away from the door that Lu Li lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, Miss Qingtan was beaten...... You already know, right? ”

Li Changjing's eyes were a little colder, and he nodded.

"The person who beat her is called Zhang Minghao."

"Zhang Minghao?" Li Changjing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't seem to know this person in his impression, and he hadn't even heard of it.

"Zhang Minghao is Zhang Qilin's elder brother, and now the new head of the Zhang family, a master of half-step immortal strength." Lu Li's tone was a little dignified.

"Zhang Minghao......" Li Changjing silently read a few times, and secretly wrote down this person's name in his heart.

The strength of the dignified half-step immortal ascended to the real second-order Qingtan!

Li Changjing hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.

"Brother Li, do you know why there are so many half-step immortal masters in Daye City?" Lu Li looked ahead, his eyes full of worry.

"I don't know." Li Changjing shook his head truthfully.

Lu Li sighed and said softly: "Because there is an alchemist behind the scenes who is more powerful than Zaixia, he can refine an elixir with no sequelae and help others forcibly break through the realm." ”

Li Changjing was shocked.
