Xia Ruoxue sat in the small courtyard outside the alchemy room, the plane trees in the courtyard swaying gently in the breeze, and the dappled sunlight sprinkled on her face through the leaves.

She looked very depressed, her face was pale, her eyes were blank, as if she had lost all hope and vitality.

Yesterday, the castle lord Li Tianfeng made such a big move, and everyone in the entire Tianchi Fort knew that Zhu Hongling was pregnant with a child......

The two did the same thing, and Zhu Hongling had a happy pulse, but she herself did not react at all, which made her feel extremely lost and helpless.

It's not a matter of justice, it's her own problem.

In the flue of the alchemy room, lilac Dan Qi rose up, lingering in the courtyard like a ghost.

The sunlight passed through the Dan Qi, becoming blurry and blurry, as if the whole world was shrouded in clouds.

On the stone table in the small courtyard, the tea has cooled down, and no one touches it.

Xia Ruoxue felt like a forgotten corner, lonely and silent.

Thoughts rushed to her heart, and Xia Ruoxue couldn't help but think back to the process of her cultivation.

"White Bone Blood Demon Skill" is an absolute magic skill, the exercise comes from the catacombs, cultivation needs to be sacrificed with the soul, and the improvement of cultivation is accompanied by blood and death all the time, and every little improvement of cultivation means the loss of countless lives.

And now, because of her cultivation of this magic skill, she will not be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life, which may be "cause and effect".

The feeling of not being able to continue the bloodline for her husband in person made her feel extremely frustrated and hopeless.

She felt like a wreck.

The door of the alchemy room slowly opened......

Li Shuidao came to her side and sat down with her.

The tea is cold......

Li Shuidao shook his hand and poured out the cold tea and re-brewed a pot of hot tea.

"Take a sip." Li Shuidao handed the tea to Xia Ruoxue's side with both hands.

The leaves of the sycamore trees swayed gently in the wind, and the sunlight shone on Li Shuidao's face, making him look extraordinarily gentle.

Xia Ruoxue looked at her husband, and the guilt in her heart was even worse.

"What does it matter if you can't give birth to a child, what you are pursuing is the road to immortality, we don't have to be bound by these worldly concepts." Li Shuidao comforted.

Xia Ruoxue raised her head and looked at her husband, she knew that Li Shuidao was comforting herself.

She took a deep breath and said, "Aqua, I'm sorry. ”

Li Shuidao smiled slightly and said, "Xue'er, we don't need to say sorry between us. We are a family, between families, and there is no excuse. ”

The corners of Xia Ruoxue's eyes moistened......

"Xue'er, I have a letter here, you can help me bring it to the patriarch." Li Shuidao handed a letter to Xia Ruoxue.

The letter was not sealed with fire paint, and it was clearly not a secret letter.

"Okay." Xia Ruoxue took the letter, she was a little curious, but she didn't dare to open the letter in front of Li Shuidao.

Li Shuidao smiled slightly and explained: "The thirty materials I brought by myself have all been refined into Yuheng Dan, and the rate of Cheng Dan is not bad, you go and tell the patriarch the news, and let him give me all the materials for refining Yuheng Dan in the future, I will open a furnace every day, I will collect one Yuheng Dan as a reward, and the rest will be handed over to the family." ”

"Will the patriarch agree?" Xia Ruoxue asked worriedly.

"It should be, even if there is indeed any difficulty in the clan, he should discuss it with me." Li Shuidao said with a smile.

"Then I'll go." Xia Ruoxue nodded and stuffed the letter into her chest.

"Go now, go back quickly."

"Don't worry, husband, I will be able to return tonight." Xia Ruoxue turned around and left, she was going to a no-man's land to set up a retreat and leave.

For the cultivators of the Rong Spirit Realm, the distance between Shenmu City and Tianchi Fort was too short, and they could go back and forth in half a day.

If Li Shuidao went back, it would take two more days on the road.

……

After Xia Ruoxue left, she turned into a blood-red light and flew away.

She flew higher and higher, and gradually disappeared into the sky......

Half a day later.

A red light fell from the sky and eventually landed on a mountain cliff.

The red light dissipated, and a woman with long hair in black appeared, standing at the top of the mountain, overlooking the bottom of the mountain, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

On the wide official road at the foot of the mountain, a group of three people rode horses and galloped, and the leader of them was Li Haoyang.

They all had to go to the family just by the way, and the destination was the family.

Li Haoyang had set off yesterday, but unfortunately he couldn't fly, so he could only ride his horse forward, although along the way, there was no delay, but because the road was winding, over the mountains and mountains, the speed was far less than Xia Ruoxue, who could fly.

Seeing this person, Xia Ruoxue clenched her fists and showed a fierce light in her eyes.

……

An hour later......

Xia Ruoxue's retreat fell on the outskirts of Shenmu City and walked in......

Smoothly broke into the Li Mansion.

Knock on the study of patriarch Li Haimo.

With permission, she gently pushed the door open.

Patriarch Li Haimo looked at her with a smile: "Miss Xia, why are you back?" ”

"Send a letter to your husband." Xia Ruoxue approached Li Haimo and handed him Li Shuidao's letter with both hands.

Li Haimo's face was solemn, he took the letter, opened it carefully, and the handwriting on the letter paper came into view.

Dear Patriarchs and Family Elders,

Self-alchemy is becoming more and more mature, and it has been able to refine the "Jade Heng Dan", and the success rate is not low.

I implore the family to collect the alchemy materials of the Yuheng Pill for my hands, and I only need to take one pill of the Yuheng Pill every day, and the rest of the pills will be returned to the family for the long-term development of the family.

I am convinced that with my alchemy skills and success rate, my family will definitely gain great benefits, and I am willing to contribute to my family.

I don't want to be self-interested, but I want to be able to carry forward what I have learned for the benefit of all in my family.

I am well aware of the responsibilities and expectations of my family, and I would like to take this opportunity to contribute to the prosperity of my family.

I implore the family elders to consider carefully and grant my request.

Sincerely

Li Shuidao respectfully.

……

The letter was written impassionedly, and it was all about the family, but it did require resources.

Li Haimo fell silent......

Li Shuidao is the glorious heir of the family, and it is natural to tilt resources.

But according to what he said, he had to eat one "Jade Heng Dan" every day, which was equivalent to eating four more spirit stones a day, and more than 1,500 spirit stones a year.

Now the underground karst cave secret mansion that Li Haohan is in charge of has not yet begun to produce, and the minerals of Tianchi Earth Fire Mine have not yet been sold, and the family expenses are very large, and they can't afford such a large amount of expenses.

However, Li Shuidao said that his alchemy skills are good, and the success rate is very high, if this is the case, as long as the loss is not too much, it can be as he wishes......

Li Haimo thought for a long time: "Miss Xia, I already know about this matter, I will convene a clan meeting to discuss this matter with the family elders as soon as possible, and give Shuidao an answer as soon as possible, please go back first." ”

Xia Ruoxue bowed and bowed, and then left.

When Xia Ruoxue left, Li Haimo took out the letter again and read it several times.

is obviously for his own benefit, but he keeps saying that he is for the sake of the family, which can be said to be known with affection and reason, which makes people have to be convinced.

"What a great boy!" Li Haimo was impressed.

He saw Li Tianjue's shadow from this letter......

Li Tianjue betrayed the family for his own selfish interests, so that the family was forced to flee from Bihaimen, and suffered countless casualties along the way, but in the end he regained control of the family through himself.

At that time, when he reappeared in front of him, he kept saying that he was for the sake of the family, and did not mention his own selfish interests at all, and said more impassioned than this letter.

Li Haimo was not convinced, he didn't look like he was being controlled by a traitor at all, but Li Tianjue had already cultivated to the realm of Naxu, and his strength was there.

If you don't accept it, you can't!

The family can't judge him, they can only rely on him, that's the truth.

If you are weak, you must learn to be obedient.

Deference and obedience are "etiquette".

Being weak and not knowing the etiquette is the way to death.

In front of Li Tianjue, Li Haimo is like a junior......

Li Haimo is already a person who has been cut into the ground, and he lowers his posture so much, in the final analysis, for the sake of his family and future generations.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, getting closer and closer, getting more and more urgent, obviously coming towards the study.

Li Haimo's face changed, and he immediately got up and walked to the door, and slammed the door open.

Outside the door, a clan guard stood panting, looking panicked.

"Patriarch, it's not good!" The clan guard clenched his fists and reported eagerly, "Young Patriarch Li Haoyang was attacked by a demon cultivator!" ”

The words were startled, like thunder on the ground, Li Haimo's face suddenly changed greatly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the shirt of the clan guard and asked eagerly, "Where was Li Haoyang attacked?" ”

The clan guard pointed in a direction and said, "The young patriarch was attacked by a demon cultivator on the outskirts of the city, let's hurry over now!" ”

Li Haimo's heart was so anxious that he immediately turned into a ray of light and flew up.

……

That night, Xia Ruoxue returned to Tianchi Fort.

Xia Ruoxue will tell the truth about what she saw and heard in the patriarch's study.

After hearing this, Li Shuidao pondered for a moment and said, "Since the patriarch is going to hold a clan meeting to discuss, then wait." ”

So, Xia Ruoxue and Li Shuidao would go to their father Li Haoshan's residence every day.

They chatted, walked the mountains, enjoyed the scenery, and occasionally encountered Vermilion in the narrow streets of Tianchi Fort.

Every time they meet, both parties greet each other politely and even ask about each other's current situation.

Now that Zhu Hongling has a fetus, Xia Ruoxue naturally won't do ridiculous things.

Three days later......

Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue were drinking tea in the courtyard of Tianchi Fort.

Although the small courtyard is not large, it is lush with flowers and plants, and it is quiet and peaceful.

Just as the two were chatting lightly.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw a handsome young man.

This person is as gentle as jade and quite generous.

Li Shuidao had some impressions of this person, knowing that he was a member of the Li family, but he couldn't call his name.

"Under Li Shuihong, dare to ask Elder Shuidao?" The young man asked softly.

Li Shuidao nodded.

"This is the Patriarch's letter." Li Shuihong took out a fire-lacquered letterhead from his arms, walked in front of Li Shuidao with a solemn expression, and handed it to him with both hands.

Li Shuidao took the fire paint letterhead, confirmed that it was indeed the letter of the patriarch, and immediately opened the seal, unfolded the letterhead, and read it carefully.

The letter reads as follows:

Li Shuidao:

The family has received your letter, and the special envoy Li Shuihong replied with a letter.

After reading what you have said, the family is deeply aware of your contribution and expectation to the family, and is willing to discuss this matter with you.

First of all, the family would like to thank you for your loyalty and hard work to the family.

Your request to refine the Jade Heng Pill is willing to be fulfilled by the clan and provide you with the resources you need.

As long as you use these three spiritual materials to successfully refine a furnace of Jade Heng Dan in front of the envoy, the family can fully support you and provide a steady stream of resources to ensure that you can open a furnace every day.

However, the clan also wants you to understand that the clan has an urgent task ahead of it.

Family member Li Haoyang has been captured by Demon Xiu, who asks the family to send a psychic realm monk to carry the "Fire Poison Crystal" in exchange for Haoyang's life.

The clan has decided to send you to complete this quest because you are the strongest in the psychic realm, and you know the magic cultivators very well.

Of course, there are certain dangers associated with this task.

In order to ensure your safety, the clan has arranged for Li Tianwu, a Sea Snake Daoist, to secretly assist you.

He will keep you absolutely safe, provide you with support and assistance, and allow you to concentrate on your tasks.

Before returning to the family, you and Li Shuihong went to Li Tianfeng and asked him to take out all the "Fire Poison Crystals" to be brought back by the two of you.

In addition, Li Haoyang was robbed, don't let Li Tianfeng know, you must let Tianfeng guard Tianchi Fort with peace of mind, and don't fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

I hope you can return to the family with your wife as soon as possible to join Li Tianwu and discuss countermeasures.

The family believes in your ability and courage and looks forward to your good news.

Sincerely.

Book of Lee Haimer.

……

Li Shuidao silently read the letterhead, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The family's business is my business. Since you're here, let's do alchemy first...... Yu Heng Dan is a first-order high-grade pill, and the family does not have earth fire, so it can only be refined here. ”

Li Shuihong frowned and said, "You can test alchemy at any time, but it's important to save people right now." ”

"Then I'm going to have to bother you to make one more trip."

"It doesn't matter." Li Shuihong shook his head and said.

"Brother Shuihong, please go out first, I have something important to discuss with my own lady." Li Shuidao said equally gently.

Li Shuihong glanced at Xia Ruoxue, with his true status in the Li family, of course he knew that Xia Ruoxue was a second-order demon cultivator.

Li Shuidao is reluctant to reveal his secrets in front of him, and he is indeed a cautious person, worthy of entrusting him with big things.

Li Shuihong commented on Li Shuidao in his heart......

Li Tianwu and Li Shuidao are all his future team.
