Half a month......

Li Tianfeng received the news and left Tianchi Fort without authorization, and half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, Tianchi Fort has been operating as usual, and there has been no abnormality.

Li Shuidao stared at the warehouse of Tianchi Fort every day, and Xia Ruoxue, who hid his cultivation, would often go to inspect it.

Nothing out of the ordinary......

This means that there is no shadow arranged by the demon cultivator in Tianchi Fort at all, otherwise it is impossible for no one to invade.

After Li Tianfeng left, the entire Tianchi Fort meant that there was no second-order combat power.

As long as a Rong Ling Realm monk who claimed to be a demon cultivator brought a group of masked monks, he could rob the family's spirit mine worth more than 20,000 spirit stones.

A truly organized "team" must have infinite back-ups, but the "demon cultivator" who hijacked Li Haoyang was anticlimactic.

There is only one possibility......

That's the so-called demon cultivation, it's just a random crime, Li Haoyang was unlucky, he met a robber, and it was as simple as that.

As for why a bandit who committed a random crime would know such a secret thing as the "Fire Poison Crystal", there was only one explanation.

It must have been said by Li Haoyang.

As for why Li Haoyang said?

Then it's even less difficult to guess.

In order to survive, there is no shame.

Li Shuidao can almost think of the scene at that time.

Li Haoyang took three of his subordinates and rode a fast horse to Shenmu City.

Halfway through, he was besieged by a group of bandits.

The two guards were killed one after another, and the bandits led by raised their butcher knives to cut off Li Haoyang's head.

So Li Haoyang shouted: "A good man spares his life!" Don't kill me! I am the lineage of the Li family in Shenmu City, and my life is very valuable. ”

The bandit leader smiled and asked, "How much are you worth?" ”

So Li Haoyang rolled his eyes and said, "My father just dug out a piece of fire poison crystal, this thing is a third-order spiritual material, worth at least three thousand spirit stones.

A bunch of scraps, greed.

So he called himself a demon cultivator and shot a "blackmail letter" with a bow and arrow to the Li family.

Maybe it's as simple as that......

By receiving news one after another, his suspicions were confirmed more and more......

……

Li Shuidao stood on the windowsill of the highest stone building, and saw a convoy coming slowly from afar.

"Lord Castle Lord, the Great Elder of the Family Li Hailong led the family elder group to Tianchi Castle, it seems that he wants to announce the appointment of the Castle Lord." Li Tianxiao, the chief of the guard, reported loudly.

Li Shuidao nodded and said, "Gather all the deacons and guards to greet you." ”

Li Tianxiao, the chief of the guard, bowed down to receive the order, and replied sonorously: "Obey!" He turned and went downstairs and strode away.

Shaoqing......

Li Shuidao, who temporarily replaced the lord of Tianchi Fort, stood on the square wearing more than 20 guards and deacons.

Greet the Li family's group of elders.

Li Tianchang, the family guard, introduced a procession of black carriages into the square.

A lot of people got out of the carriage......

Some Li Shuidao knows, such as the gray-haired and energetic elder Li Hailong, the young and handsome Li Shuihong and others.

Others are completely unfamiliar faces......

Li Hailong's gaze swept over everyone fiercely, and his majestic momentum made people dare not force their eyes. He smiled slightly, and his voice resounded throughout the square: "Everyone, I am Li Hailong, and I am leading the family elder group to come here today to announce the family's major decision. ”

I saw that Grand Elder Li Hailong took out a letter of appointment towards Phnom Penh from the storage bag and said in a deep voice: "After discussion by the family elders, it is announced that Li Shuidao will be officially appointed as the lord of Tianchi Fort!" ”

This matter was not unexpected by Li Shuidao, after all, the Li family was in short supply of masters, and behind him stood a second-order demon cultivator Xia Ruoxue.

What bullshit qualifications, in the final analysis, are strength.

It's as simple as being the "leader" with the strongest strength!

The strongest wolf in the pack is the first wolf, and if he doesn't accept it, he will fight, and he will become the king and lose the wolf.

Li Shuidao had already made it clear that the chariot and horse would be alchemy and cultivation in Tianchi Fort, unless the family wanted to put two Rong Ling Realms in Tianchi Fort, otherwise he must be the owner of the castle.

Li Hailong stepped forward and solemnly handed over the "letter of appointment" to Li Shuidao's hands.

"Thank you for the trust of the Clan Elders, and thank you to the Great Elder of the Sea Dragon." Li Shuidao took the letter of appointment and unfolded it for the elders and guards behind him to see.

A few simple lines: Li Shuidao was appointed as the lord of Tianchi Fort, and the payment was made by the Li clan.

This is a decision made by the clan council, not a personal appointment by the patriarch, and has extremely high authority.

Followed by......

Great Elder Li Hailong took out a letter from the storage bag, handed it to Li Shuidao with both hands and said, "This is a letter from the patriarch, the patriarch will explain it personally, and you will read it to everyone." ”

Li Shuidao opened the fire paint and unfolded the letter. The handwriting on the letter was clearly visible, and he read aloud: "After family discussion, our Li family has decided to form an alliance with the Zhu family of Scorpion Valley, and for this reason, Zhu Hongling is specially appointed as the deputy castle master of Tianchi Fort, responsible for coordinating the cultivation and mining of the Zhu family monks and many other matters. The Zhu family monks will enjoy the same treatment as my Li family monks, but the minerals produced will be at the disposal of the Li family, and the Zhu family is not allowed to interfere in them. In order to ensure the safety of the finances, the family account office has to be checked and closed every day, and every half month, the Great Elder Li Hailong will personally escort the spirit mine back to Shenmu City to settle the accounts and empty the warehouse. ”

"Keep reading!" Great Elder Li Hailong said loudly.

Li Shuidao paused slightly and continued: "No one is allowed to sell the spirit ore without authorization, or take the spirit ore for their own use, if there is a violation, it should be dealt with as a traitor, the family elder council specially appointed the great elder Li Hailong as the supervisor, and is fully responsible for the family elders will supervise the collection, storage and transfer of the spirit mine, in addition, Li Haoshan is no longer allowed to take charge of the treasury, the family elder council appoints Deacon Li Haojing to serve in this position, and Li Haoshan needs to return to Shenmu City immediately." ”

Li Hailong nodded with a satisfied face, this passage is the point.

Li Shuidao's violent seizure of power in Tianchi Fort had already reached the ears of the Elders.

Since ancient times, the seizure of power has been for profit.

Li Shuidao originally planned to exchange alchemy for the "Jade Heng Pill", and it is said that he planned to practice one Jade Heng Pill a day.

A jade heng pill is worth five hundred jade dollars, four multi-spirit stones each, he plans to have one pill a day, just like a gold-swallowing beast, this kind of eating directly shocked the elders.

Now that Li Shuidao has taken advantage of the chaos to seize power, coupled with the fact that his father is the deacon of the spirit mine, if his father and son join forces, they can easily hollow out the family.

After repeated weighing and fierce arguments, the family elders came up with such a solution.

The two deacons of the warehouse and the account room, plus the supervisor Li Hailong, should be enough to deter Li Shuidao, lest he abuse his power for personal gain and harm the family.

After Li Shuidao finished reading this paragraph, he also knew the family's worries in his heart, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain, now that his interests are highly tied to the interests of the family, there is no need to do such things that harm the public and private interests.

But then again, if he wasn't greedy, then he wouldn't be much of a good fellow castle owner.

After working for a year, you may get fifty spirit stones.

But if he exchanges alchemy for "Yu Heng Dan", then the "benefit" will be great, one Yu Heng Dan a day, then he will eat more than 1,500 spirit stones a year, which is 30 times the salary of the master of the fort.

There are many words on this letter, but there is no mention of "Yuhengdan".

"I'm done." Li Shuidao planned to return the letter in his hand to Li Hailong.

Li Hailong shook his head and said, "You can keep it, this is a letter from the patriarch to Ling." ”

"These people are all monks of the Zhu family, and you have people register them." Li Hailong pointed to a group of monks who Li Shuidao didn't know at all.

Li Shuidao immediately assigned two deacons to register them.

"The rest of the people will go back and do their part." Li Shuidao commanded.

"Lord Castle, my subordinate is Li Haojing." A weak scholar who looked like a bookkeeper clenched his fist at Li Shuidao.

"Father, you and Deacon Li Haojing can hand it over, and let the deacon of the account room also check the accounts." Li Shuidao commanded.

"Yes, Castle Master." Li Haoshan hugged his fists and said, omitting the word adult, after all, he is his biological father.

The family asked him to go back, and it was also in his arms.

The etiquette is reversed, the position is unclear, and you are restless, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

"Castle Master, the appointment has been announced, and the family elders have another matter to discuss with you." Li Hailong said with a solemn face.

"What?" Li Shuidao asked.

"I heard that your alchemy success rate is very high?"

"Hmm...... Fair. Li Shuidao said humbly.

"I have three copies of the materials of the Jade Heng Pill here, you can show them in front of the family elders." Li Hailong said with a pleasant face.

Li Shuidao took the three materials of the Jade Heng Dan, and after thinking for a moment in his heart, he said: "The space in the alchemy room is limited, and I prefer to do alchemy alone, which is not suitable for displaying in front of everyone. ”

Li Hailong frowned slightly, he pointed at Li Shuihong and said, "Then only me and Shuihong went." ”

When Li Shuihong heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he nodded to Li Shuidao, indicating that he was willing to go.

"This way, please!"

So, Li Shuidao led Li Hailong and Li Shuihong to the alchemy room together.

Pushing open the door of the alchemy room, you will be greeted by a raging earth fire.

Li Hailong looked left and right, and it was indeed very narrow here.

The three of them sat down.

Li Shuidao took out a document and examined it carefully.

Although the materials provided by the family should be authentic and reliable, a rigorous inspection is carried out just in case.

Li Shuidao carefully observed the texture, color, and smell of the material, and gently touched it with his fingers to feel the energy fluctuations in it.

After some careful inspection, Li Shuidao nodded with satisfaction and confirmed that this material met the requirements.

He put the materials back in place, and then patted the storage bag and took out a small tripod, which was the Dragon and Tiger Ding.

Extract the medicinal power, ingest it into the furnace, in an orderly manner, and do it in one go.

As the fire burns brightly, Li Shuidao's technique is skillful and steady.

He mastered the accuracy of the fire, adjusted the temperature of the furnace, and extracted the essence of the material.

With the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon groan, the alchemy was completed.

Open the Dan furnace and refine four Jade Heng Dan at once.

Dancheng four grains......

Li Shuidao took one grain, and handed over the remaining three grains to Li Hailong.

Looking at the three jade pills in his hand, Li Hailong was still in disbelief.

This junior is extremely skilled in alchemy methods, and he is definitely a veteran, and it is hard to imagine that such alchemy skills are actually self-taught.

Sure enough, it's a genius......

After being silent for a long time, Li Hailong said, "Your alchemy skills are really outstanding!" Please continue to refine the remaining two materials. ”

Li Shuidao shook his head: "I only open one furnace a day. ”

"Why? Do you know that what you have refined is not an elixir, but a spirit stone! Li Hailong said excitedly.

As long as Li Shuidao's alchemy level is up to the mark, the family can use spirit stones to collect alchemy materials on the market, and then hand them over to him, and every time he opens a furnace, the family will make a profit.

The significance of a powerful alchemist to the family is completely comparable to that of a spirit planter.

Li Shuidao replied with a faint smile: "The Great Elder is overrated, I only open one furnace a day, it's not that I'm lazy, but the refining process requires full attention, and the consumption of mind is too large, if you open the second furnace in a row, the success rate will be very low, and nine times out of ten it will waste materials." ”

"Anything else?" Li Hailong asked with a frown.

"It's not a secret, the rate of opening one furnace every day is nearly 100%, and the second furnace will be destroyed." Li Shuidao said with a serious face.

This is, of course, a lie!

Li Shuidao simply doesn't want to become the family's alchemy tool, opening a furnace every day is not only leisure, but also does not affect cultivation, and the key pill success rate is still high.

In order to cultivate alchemists, many families purchased a large number of alchemy materials of Changchun Dan and Xingqi Dan in the market, forcing the children of the family to alchemy.

In the end, the boring alchemy was repeated, which wiped out the spirituality, made it mediocre, and could never become a talent, and also rolled the price of two pills on the market into the price of cabbage.

The raw materials of these two pills on the market are more expensive than the finished pills.

Alchemists must have professional ethics, no matter how high the success rate is, they must not disturb the market price.

The artist has to hold it, if a famous painting can be mass-produced on the assembly line, can it still be called a famous painting?

Is that painting still worth anything!?
