After learning that Li Yaolong had broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, the top leaders of the Ma family did not feel strange.

I had expected it before, but I didn't expect to step into the Yuan Dan realm so soon.

However, they believed that Li Yaolong had taken a high-grade elixir to reduce his life and increase his cultivation, but they didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, it was Li Yuan and Li Yunqing who broke through to the virtual realm, which shocked them.

In particular, Li Yuan also has a dragon bone in his body.

Although there were some problems before, if they have been completely solved, they will definitely be able to step into the Nirvana realm in a maximum of twenty years.

At that time, the Ma family is at risk of being wiped out.

Therefore, the contract duel between Ma Jianyang and Li Yuan, the high-level of the Ma family did not object, and they all agreed.

The rich family witnessed that in the next ten months, they did not make any plans that were unfavorable to the Li family.

In this contract showdown, another candidate of the Ma family determined the first person among the younger generation.

is also Ma Zhitian's own grandson, his eldest son's son Ma Junrui, who cultivated in the middle of the virtual realm.

Ma Junrui's parents have average cultivation talents, so they have been taught by Ma Zhitian since he was a child, and his strength is not much weaker than Ma Jianyang.

Let him form a combination with Ma Jianyang and participate in this contract duel, he definitely doesn't want Li Yuan and the two to get out of the duel alive.

………

The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty is the palace city of Xiayang.

In an empty hall, there were only two figures, one old and one middle.

"Chu Lao, the Qian family received a thousand materials for entering the Void Pill some time ago, I heard that it was the Qian family in Yangyan City, the capital of Yuanzhou in the southeast, who found a high-level alchemist to help refine the Three Patterns into the Void Pill, is it true?"

The middle-aged man in a python robe stood on the high platform, in front of a very large table, and asked the old man in Tsing Yi below.

"Back to the king, there is such a thing in the income of the Xudan materials. Whether it is the alchemist that the Qian family is looking for, the old man doesn't know. However, I heard that the success rate of the alchemist refining the three-pattern into the Void Pill was as high as thirty percent, and the old man really admired such methods. ”

Listening to the answer, it was the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but the old man in Tsing Yi below straightened his waist and did not perform the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

There is only one person who does not practice the courtesy of kings and ministers in the palace, Chu Yuan, one of the four king-level alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty, this person is not only powerful in the way of refining medicine, but also a strong person in the Nirvana realm.

The king in Chu Yuan's mouth is Xia Guoxuan, the lord of the current Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Guoxuan has been in charge of the Great Xia River for nearly sixty years, and his cultivation has not been wasted, and it is also the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm.

"How can Chu Lao be so sure? In terms of refining medicine, I have never seen you admire a person like this. ”

Hearing Chu Yuan's answer, Xia Guoxuan was a little surprised to appreciate the person refining medicine so much, and hurriedly walked down.

In his opinion, in addition to Chu Yuantian's courtesy to his father Xia Yuantian, the entire Great Xia royal family, including him, the king, could not convince him.

"Let the king laugh, although the Void Pill is only a medium condensing pill, the old man is only two percent sure of refining the quality of the three lines.

"Therefore, the person who refines medicine is not Mu Yi, nor is it Wan Xianyun. As for the one in Xia Quecheng, he may be able to reach a thirty percent certainty, but he will definitely not make such a big deal with the Qian family. Chu Yuan explained.

"Isn't it an alchemist in Great Xia?" Xia Guoxuan groaned slightly, and muttered in his mouth.

Chu Yuan stroked his beard and nodded, "I think so too." So before coming to the palace, I went to the Qian family and asked Qian Qinghao, the head of the Qian family, for verification. ”

"How?" Xia Guoxuan asked.

"Qian Qinghao has confirmed it, but he doesn't know where the person who refines medicine comes from." Chu Yuan said solemnly, and then changed his words, "The demand for the royal family's elixir is too great, and the old man is powerless, so he can only refine it slowly, and he has not been able to supply the consumption of the king's side." ”

Chu Yuan was also telling the truth, according to his level of refining, he could refine at most two or three medicinal materials a day, and the quality of the three patterns could only reach two percent.

"Hehe, Chu Lao, you misunderstood, I didn't blame you all along." Xia Guoxuan hurriedly said, afraid that Chu Yuan would think that he was seeking other high-level alchemists.

"If the king asks who the person who refines medicine is later, and hopes to introduce it on his behalf, I want to pay a visit."

"No problem." Xia Guoxuan said.

………

Xiayang City Alchemist Guild, a courtyard.

In the courtyard, a white-haired old man dressed in sky blue, a robe with a golden yellow pattern tattoo, and a blue forehead wipe on his forehead, was playing against a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a large sleeve with a collar.

Standing beside the middle-aged man was a middle-aged woman in a light gold dress, although her face showed a little trace of age, but the purple belt highlighted her graceful posture and was exquisite.

"Hehe, it's still Master Mu's skills. Looks like I'm going to have to keep training hard. Suddenly, the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled heartily.

"Qin Ming, don't make fun of the old man."

The white-haired old man smiled slightly, touched his long beard, looked at the middle-aged woman on the side and asked, "Saitama, you came today, but for the Qian family's purchase of the Xudan materials?" ”

"It seems that everything can't escape Master Mu's eyes." The middle-aged woman bowed her head and smiled faintly.

The white-haired old man is Mu Yi, the president of the Xia Yang City Alchemist Guild, and one of the four king-level alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty, a powerhouse in the Nirvana Realm.

And this man and woman are Qin Ming, the young head of the Qin family, one of the six major families in Wangcheng, and his wife Qin Qiyu, Qin Ming is the consummation of the Yuan Dan Realm, and Qin Qiyu also has the cultivation of the peak of the late Yuan Dan Realm.

"Hey, you don't have to look at the old man like this, the person who bought the Void Pill materials and helped refine the pill is not the old man. The old man is not 30% sure.

"Not only do I not have it, but I dare to guarantee that Chu Yuan and Wan Xianyun do not either. As for whether Xia Quecheng's old immortal can do it, it is not clear, with his temperament, he will not do such a thing.

"However, when Qian Qinghao asked me to provide materials before, he did say that they found an alchemist and refined the Void Pill, and the quality of its three patterns could reach thirty percent. I just asked me to keep it a secret, so I didn't say it.

"It is estimated that the number of acquisitions by the Qian family is too large, and I don't know who spread the news." Mu Yi sighed lightly and said slowly.

"Oh, it is rumored that the person who refines medicine for the Qian family may be from the hands of a few of you." Qin Ming was slightly disappointed, after all, he came today for the purpose of the Three Patterns Entering the Void Pill, "However, I still want to thank Master Mu for taking care of our Qin family over the years and refining a lot of Void Pills." ”

"Qin Ming, don't be disappointed. The Qian family is a businessman, and he will definitely come up with a deal. The old man wanted to meet the alchemist, and if he could communicate, he might be able to improve the level of alchemy, which had not improved much for several years. ”

Mu Yi got up, walked to Qin Ming's other side, and patted him on the shoulder.

The struggle between the forces of all parties in Xiayang City is not comparable to the petty fights in Yangyan City.

Any cultivation resources that have the ability to improve their cultivation will become the target of grabbing by various forces.

"Looks like we're going to have to send someone to Sunflame City." Qin Qiyu on the side thought for a long time and spoke.

"A few days ago, didn't you say that your brothers Qin Tian and Qin Chen went to Yuanzhou?" Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Master Mu, don't mention these two bastards. If you don't want to cultivate in Xialin Academy, you have to go to Xiaoxing Mountain outside Xingcheng in Yuanzhou to practice. The people of Xingcheng did not see them either, so they probably did not go. After all, in that place, there is no cultivation in the Yuan Dan Realm, and the degree of danger can be imagined. They should be self-aware. At the mention of his two sons, Qin Ming looked slightly displeased.

Mu Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, young man, you have to go out and practice." Staying at Charlin Academy didn't help them much in their growth. Hasn't Qin Tian broken through to the Yuan Dan realm yet? ”

Qin Qiyu sighed and said, "Hey, it's far away, I haven't even reached the peak of the Void Realm." No, as soon as his younger brother broke through to the late stage of the Void Realm, he just entered the middle courtyard, and he took him out to practice.

"Don't look at him who usually talks a lot, and he is under a lot of pressure in his heart, he is almost forty, and he is also anxious. I couldn't contact them for a while, and I couldn't count on the separation of the Qian family in Yangyan City. I can only let the people of Xingcheng go over and check it. ”

Mu Yi said: "Let's follow the fate together, there is no hurry in cultivating this matter." However, it is not easy to say whether the alchemist who the Qian family is looking for is still in Yangyan City, maybe he has already been taken to Xiayang City by the Qian family. ”

"Hehe, let's check first." Qin Ming said.

………

Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, Qushui Pool.

A middle-aged woman wrapped in a fiery red robe and a light-colored gauze with a golden phoenix hairpin on her head sat leisurely in the water smelling pavilion on the Qushui Pool.

Next to the middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man in a golden robe said respectfully: "President, the mysterious seller who swept away the materials of the Void Pill in Xiayang City some time ago has found out, it is the Qian family. ”

"The Qian family? They knew that our Chamber of Commerce had a large demand for alchemy materials, and what did they do to offend them? The middle-aged woman squinted slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"It shouldn't be, the acquisition of materials was carried out in secret, and I don't know where something went wrong and the news leaked. The subordinates investigated, and heard that it was the Qian family in Yangyan City who found a high-level alchemist who was able to increase the success rate of the quality of the three patterns of the Void Pill to thirty percent. The middle-aged man replied.

"Thirty percent? Could it be that Xia Quecheng's surname Tang is immortal? The middle-aged woman muttered, and then shook her head, "No, he can't work for the Qian family for a few years." What are Chu Yuan and Mu Yike's actions? ”

"After Chu Yuan has seen Xia Yuantian, Xia Yuantian should arrange for someone to investigate in Yangyan City. Mu Yi had also met Qin Ming, the young patriarch of the Qin family. The Qin family may have also arranged for people from Xingcheng to go to Yangyan City. The middle-aged man replied.

The middle-aged woman said: "In order to open up the market in Yangyan City, the Chamber of Commerce valued the potential of the Jiang family, so it did not open a branch there. We put Jiang Yuanhan in the position of the head of the Jiang family, but nothing has gone wrong for decades, and we are dead set on the Chamber of Commerce.

"Hua Xuan, you immediately send a message to Jiang Yuanhan and ask him to investigate clearly."

"Yes, President."

The middle-aged man bowed and exited the Wenshui Pavilion.

The middle-aged woman in the pavilion was Wan Xianyun, the president of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, one of the four king-level alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also a powerhouse in the Nirvana Realm.

Although Wan Xianyun, Chu Yuan and Mu Yi were both king-level alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty, their alchemy attainments were weaker than the other two.

The middle-aged man beside her before was her right-hand man, Hua Xuan, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the perfect cultivation of the Yuan Dan Realm.

The Qian family's acquisition of refining Void Pill materials in Xiayang City was too big, and the news leaked, so it was a matter of time before people knew the source of demand.

The Qian family in the royal capital didn't believe that a branch could invite such a big person.

But the Qian family is a businessman, if they can really get so many pills and use them to leverage the interests of other parties, they can gamble.

When Qian Yunqiu got ten pieces of Three Patterns into the Void Pill, the Qian family had a feeling that the bet was right.

In order to ensure that this alchemist would not be snatched away by other forces, the Wang Capital Qian family asked the branch family to release the news to the outside world, saying that the alchemist had been arranged to go to Xiayang City.

………

Time flies, and nearly ten months have passed quickly.

These days, Li Yuan and the two have never appeared in Yangyan City, and they have also caused a lot of waves in the Ma family.

Otherwise, they arranged a lot of strong people around the Li family to monitor, otherwise they would definitely think that the two had fled, and they could only explain the disappearance of Li Yuan and the others by retreating and improving their cultivation.

The Li family, which had only one Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse, did not mention the contract duel too much, as if the contract of this duel had never existed from beginning to end.

But the Ma family regarded this duel as very important, and made it known to the whole city, and wanted to make an example of the chickens and monkeys to consolidate their position, and at the same time the shame of the Snow Flame Rock City and the camp of the Rock Field.

With the help of the great artifact of Qiankun Ding, Li Yuan only took less than half a year to refine all the thousands of materials into the Void Pill, and there were only more than 30 pieces that were not of three-pattern quality.

His alchemy technique had been further improved, and his soul power had reached the perfection of the King Realm, and he could feel the existence of the powerhouse of the Yuan Dan Realm, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after, there was another piece of good news.

The spirit awoke.

However, it is still necessary to sleep for more than eight hours a day.

Over time, the duration of slumber will slowly decrease.

Li Yuan already felt very relieved, as long as he didn't fall asleep at the critical time, the general danger, with his current detection ability, could be dealt with.

promised the Qian family's entry into the void pill, and delivered nearly three hundred, two hundred of the three patterns, and the rest were all other qualities.

As for the remaining pills, Li Yuan left Yangyan City with something important for his master and did not hand it over to the Qian family.

However, he made a promise that within a year, the master would arrange for someone to send them 500 pieces of the Three Tattoos into the Void Pill, and then give them to the Qian family together.

The purpose of this is mainly to let the Qian family balance the Ma family and serve as the umbrella of the Li family.

After all, facing the powerhouses of the Yuan Dan Realm, the spirit could not play a role.

The rest of the time, he has been in retreat, breaking through his cultivation, and coping with the contract duel of the Ma family.

………

The Li family's mansion is closed closely.

In the meeting hall, there were more than a dozen figures, except for Li Yuan, Li Yunqing and Li Yaolong, all the elders were there.

Everyone looked at Li Yuan with solemn faces.

Li Yuanmo rubbed his chin, glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally fell on Li Qingni, and asked softly, "Grandma, how is the transfer of the clansmen?" ”

"Our Li family's talented juniors and most of the clansmen have all been transferred to Yanyan City under the cover of the Qian family. Except for those of us who are under special surveillance by the Ma family, there are less than thirty percent of the clansmen who remain in the city now. Li Qingni responded.

"That's good." Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Yaolong, "Father, after this duel, no matter how you win or lose, the whole clan will have to leave Yangyan City." ”

"What? Back to Malan City? ”

"Do you want to go to Flame Rock City?"

"But we finally managed to get some small industries in Yangyan City."

……

The elders were talking nonsense, but they didn't dare to say anything to Li Yuan, after all, the latter's cultivation was higher than theirs.

Li Yuan motioned for everyone to be quiet, then flicked his fingers, took out a scroll and put it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I have arranged the place to stand, and the place is recorded in this scroll." When the life-and-death contract duel with the Ma family was underway, everyone evacuated.

"When you get to the place, just do what the scroll says. If you need anything, you can ask the City Lord's Mansion of Flame Rock City for help, they owe me some favors. Or ask the Qian family for help, but don't let outsiders know about the affairs here. ”

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of worry.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that as long as the Li family develops slowly here, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivation resources in the future. Twenty years from now, everyone here will step into the Yuan Dan realm, and as for the Nirvana realm, it will depend on creation. Li Yuanzheng said.

Hearing this, everyone was even more embarrassed, thinking that there was something wrong with Li Yuan's brain.

Li Yaolong put away the scroll and didn't explain, after all, the stakes were very high, so he talked about the showdown in three days.

"Yuan'er, according to the news given by the Qian family, Ma Jianyang has been in retreat for nine months, and he broke through to the perfection of the virtual realm last month. For this duel, he invested in blood.

"The Ma family has always been domineering, and it seems that they really want to take your and Qing'er's lives through this. When the time comes, I don't know what means will be used for the Li family.

"You have just broken through to the middle stage of the Void Realm, and Qing'er is only at the peak of the middle stage of the Void Realm. There is no certainty in this duel, I will go to the Qian family for help, there must be a way to get out of the city, let's stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood. There are still three days left before the showdown, and it should be too late. ”

After making a duel agreement with the Ma family, Li Yuan had been refining pills in the secret room for nearly half a year, and only after a few months did he retreat and cultivate, and he entered the middle stage of stepping into the void realm.

After all, the Qian family has to give something after all so that they can talk, and it is impossible to help in vain.

But it is impossible to admit defeat in this duel, it is a matter of life, so Li Yunqing chose to retreat from the beginning and improved his cultivation a lot.

Li Yuan pursed his lips and said lightly: "Father, don't worry, Ma Jianyang's strength is average, he doesn't have a yuan bone in his body, and it is impossible for the Ma family to hand over the highest-level exercises to this person, after all, his talent is average." Even if you step on the virtual realm, you can't be afraid.

"As for the so-called first person among the younger generation of the Ma family, like us, he is in the middle stage of the Void Realm, and even if he reaches the peak level, he is definitely not the opponent of me and my little aunt. We have a good chance of winning this matchup. This matter was spread in Yangyan City, and it was impossible to escape. ”

"Father, don't worry, Xiao Yuanzi and I are confident that we can win the duel. The feud between us and the Ma family is unlikely to be resolved. Li Yunqing followed.

The two had a decisive attitude, and Li Yaolong and the others looked at each other.

The hall fell silent.
