The Great Elder frowned slightly, how to deal with the Du family's counterattack with the Spirit Refining Sect, he also had some ideas in his heart, mainly based on the relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, and as long as Qin Wen refined the four-furnace Xuan-level high-grade spirit pill to Gao Zhang and the other monks, it could be regarded as a good fate for the Qin family.

However, the three elders of the Shangguan family did not know what they were coming at this time, and the great elder naturally would not reveal all the details to him, and when he saw that the children of the Qin family came up with tea at this time, he took the tea cup and saluted Elder Shangguan: "Please." ”

Elder Shangguan was not in a hurry, after taking the teacup, he gave it lightly, and then tasted it slowly, the eldest elder took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said: "This, our Qin family was also forced to make a hasty move, and for the time being, we can only see the moves, I don't know what Elder Shangguan has to say?"

Elder Shangguan gently put down the teacup and said, "I don't dare to give advice, but I came here today to make a deal with your Qin family." ”

The Great Elder was slightly stunned and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Elder Shangguan coughed lightly and said, "This Du family has only been in our Luming City for a hundred years, but it is an unusually domineering act, and our Shangguan family is also deeply disturbed, and the first purpose of coming today is to thank the Qin family and get rid of this evil." After speaking, he arched his hand towards the Great Elder.

The Great Elder also returned the salute, and Elder Shangguan continued: "A few years ago, our clan also did some investigation into the Du family, and there is an elder of the Du family who is a deacon in the Spirit Refining Sect. ”

"When he came, our family master estimated that if he knew about the Du family's affairs, he would definitely make a move, with his ability, if he wanted to find a monk in the Xuan Ling realm, it might not be easy, but the Xuan master should be able to find some when he went up, and when the time comes, your Qin family should have some difficulty coping, so our family master will let me discuss the cooperation between the two families." ”

The Great Elder's face was slightly bitter at this time, and Elder Shangguan also said this out of consideration for the sake of face, the strength of their Qin family was all on the surface, and none of the monks broke through the realm of Xuanshi, if it weren't for the city lord sending Gao Zhang and them this time, it is estimated that a Du family's offering would have turned the Qin family upside down, not to mention the monks of the Xuanshi's upper rank, so he nodded and said, "Then how does Elder Shangguan think we can cooperate?"

Elder Shangguan smiled at this time and said, "Our two families are an offensive and defensive alliance with each other, if the deacon of the Du family of the Spirit Refining Sect brings someone to the manor, how about our two families become one, and defend against the enemy together?"

The Great Elder knew that the strength of the Shangguan family was far stronger than that of the Qin family, but the Shangguan family was not helping in vain, it must be conditional, so he thought for a while and said, "I also agree with Elder Shangguan's idea, I don't know what conditions you have?"

Elder Shangguan heard the Great Elder's words clear, and said happily: "Our Shangguan family manor is limited by the terrain, and some of the children of the close clan have settled close to the ranch in the past few decades, this Du family manor is dispensable for the Qin family, how can we divide it from it? The south of this manor is all pastures, and the Qin family does not make a living by herding horses, so it is a pity to be abandoned." ”

The Great Elder pondered at this time, the conditions proposed by the Shangguan family were also within his tolerance, but the only thing was that he was a little reluctant to the earth fire vein in the back mountain of the Du family, with the sudden rise of Qin Wen on the Dan Dao, he also considered the matter of the Qin family's alchemy in the future, if Qin Xiao, who stayed in the family in the future, could cultivate more Qin family disciples, then the demand for alchemy earth fire would increase greatly.

Now the earth fire veins in the medicine valley can open up three or five more fire vents at most, which is far worse than the Du family, and the matter of the ranch does not need to be considered, and the Qin family has no use for it, so he thought about it again and said: "The matter of this ranch is easy to say, our Qin family has never herded horses, but the matter about the manor is a little difficult to do." ”

Elder Shangguan heard that the Great Elder had agreed to the ranch matter he proposed, and said with a happy smile on his face: "What is the difficulty, Elder Qin said that if we need the help of our Shangguan family, we are naturally obliged. ”

The Great Elder paused slightly at this time and said: "Actually, this manor doesn't matter to our Qin family, that is, the earth fire vein in the backyard of the manor is necessary for us now, Elder Shangguan, you see how this is, the manor in front is left to you, and the Dan room on the earth fire vein behind is used by our Qin family." ”

Elder Shangguan thought about it, the Dan room of the Du family manor only occupies a corner of the backyard, and when the time comes, after his own clan moves in, just separate it directly, he said happily: "This is no problem, when the time comes, we will separate the Dan room in the backyard, if it is not enough in the future, we will help you build a few more Dan rooms on the earth fire vein." ”

The Great Elder smiled and picked up the teacup and said, "Then let's settle it." ”

Elder Shangguan also replied and said, "It's decided, if there is anything in the future, you can just send someone to our Shangguan's house to deliver the letter." By the way, in order to wish us a smooth cooperation, I also prepared a gift for Elder Qin, Xiao Wu, bring people up. ”

At this time, a steward standing next to him hurriedly ran out of the council hall, and then he heard a chaotic footsteps, only to see a few monks of the Shangguan family walking up with seven or eight people, the great elder looked at some of these people wearing the Du family's clothes, and asked suspiciously: "Elder Shangguan, who are these people?"

Elder Shangguan smiled and pointed with his finger: "The young man inside is the eldest son of the head of the Du family, and the others are all Xuantu upper-level Dan masters, they escaped from this manor and were about to go to the Spirit Refining Gate to report the news, but they happened to be caught by several subordinates of our Shangguan family, which also represents a little sincerity of our Shangguan family in this cooperation." ”

The Great Elder also knew that he had attacked the Du family's manor this time, and there were not a few Du family disciples who had escaped, but he had no choice, after all, there were still relatively few monks from the Qin family, and it was impossible to surround the Du family's manor at once, and the Shangguan family sent them were all direct monks of the Du family, which also showed their determination to form an alliance, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Elder Shangguan." ”

Then the Great Elder said to Qin Hu at the door of the council hall: "Ah Hu, take these people down, focus on them, and let the Third Elder personally escort them back to our manor in a while." ”

Qin Hu agreed, and then took a few Qin family monks to escort all the people of the Du family.

Elder Shangguan's gaze swept slightly over Qin Wen, who had been sitting quietly, and suddenly stopped on Han Duan behind him, the cultivation of the two of them was clear to him at a glance, looking at Han Duan's clothes did not look like a slave of the Qin family, but standing behind Qin Wen, whose cultivation was not as good as his, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

He opened his mouth and asked, "These two should be the Qin family's Junyan, right?"

The Great Elder pointed at Qin Wen with a smile on his face and said, "This is the son of our Qin family, and he is also a Dan Master, called Qin Wen, this ...... behind him" Speaking of this, the Great Elder couldn't help but hesitate, and he didn't know how to introduce Han Duan.

Just when Qin Wen was about to speak, Han Duan said loudly: "Hello two elders, in Xia Han Duan, Young Master Qin is my teacher." However, the disciple was stupid and could not be included in the teacher's door. ”

Elder Shangguan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance at Qin Wen a few more times, and praised it: "It's really a hero out of a young man, okay, now that the cooperation has been negotiated, I should also go back and let the clan prepare, and I'll wait for Elder Qin's news for the next few days." After speaking, he got up and bowed his hand towards Elder Qin.

The Great Elder got up to see him off at this time, and Qin Wen and Han Duan followed behind, sending Elder Shangguan out of the gate until he turned around and returned to the Du family manor.

As soon as he turned the wide shadow wall, the second elder greeted him from the backyard and asked, "Big brother, what did Shangguan Third say when he came here?"

The Great Elder told him about the cooperation matters discussed in the council hall, and the Second Elder paused slightly and said, "The eldest brother is thoughtful, in the future, there will be the Shangguan family in front of him, even if it is a monk who comes to the upper rank of the Xuan Master, we are not afraid." ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but be a little curious at this time: "The Shangguan family is so powerful?"

The Great Elder said in a deep voice: "The Shangguan family made a fortune by herding horses, and now there is an elder of the lower level of Xuanling, but he is no longer practicing in the family, and occasionally he will come back to see after a few decades, in the vicinity of Luming City, no one dares to provoke them, but their family style has always been stable, and they do not go around to disturb other families, this time they have formed an alliance with us, they should have taken a fancy to the Du family's pasture." ”

At this time, the second elder pointed to a carriageway out of the backyard: "Big brother, I put all the elixirs in the treasury into the storage bag, and some of the remaining ones were not loaded, so they were put on the carriage, and the third elder had already escorted a group of people back first, and I will also send the elixir back now." ”

The Great Elder nodded and said: "After sending it back, you and the third elder will come again, although the manor is left to the Shangguan family, but the things we can use will also be moved, by the way, Ah Wen, there is nothing to do here, you might as well follow the second elder back to the manor, do you pick enough elixir today, if it is not enough, sit in the carriage and pick some more." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "It should be enough, I'll go back to the Medicine Valley to sort out the elixir first, and then I will try to refine all the pills I need during this time." ”

The second elder looked at Han Duan at this time and asked, "You, your name is Han Duan, right, will you also go to the Qin family with us?"

Han Duan nodded and said, "I'll follow the teacher." ”

The second elder looked at Qin Wen with inquiring eyes, Qin Wen knew that with a temperament like Han Duan, if you didn't let him follow, he would also go to Qin's house by himself, so he had to nod and say, "Let him go with him." ”
