Long Xiaofeng led the woman to a room in the inner hall.

"Tell me!" said the woman. As soon as the woman's voice fell, the phantom of Shangguan Yuling appeared above the head of the little white fox.

"Ahh

"What the hell is going on?" the woman glanced at Long Xiaofeng, and then stared at her sister Shangguan Yuling's phantom and said. Shangguan Yuling sighed and said what had happened.

"This Chiyan old demon is so evil, sister, you go back with me now, let's go to Daddy together and settle accounts with that Chiyan old demon!" The woman said, and turned to Long Xiaofeng again: "You bring my sister back this time, our Spirit Fox Clan will accept your affection, if you need my Shangguan Yuying's help in the future, just ask." ”

Shangguan Yuling glanced at Long Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "Young Master Long, no, I should call you the Dragon Patriarch, I will go back with my sister to see my father first, and then come back to you!" Long Xiaofeng nodded.

Shangguan Yuling drilled into the little white fox again and followed Shangguan Yuying.

Long Xiaofeng sent Shangguan Yuying out of the house, and saw a servant step forward and said, "Young Master, someone wants to see you!" Long Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Where is this person?" As soon as Long Xiaofeng followed the servant out of the inner hall, he saw a middle-aged man smiling and greeting him. He was the first person in the Hall of Talents to surrender to himself.

"What the patriarch said in front of many disciples of the Snow Domain Gate in the main hall of the Ice Heart Pavilion that day was really extraordinary. Subordinate Long Jin admired it in his heart!" The middle-aged man said obediently. Long Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What did I say that day?" Long Jin said: "Did the patriarch forget? That day, you said that as long as the people surnamed Long were willing to submit to the patriarch, the patriarch would allow the people surnamed Long to enter the Dragon Elephant Hall to learn fighting skills and refine magic weapons. Long Jin nodded and said, "Yes, I said that. ”

Long Jin gave a thumbs up and said: "The patriarch's enlightened move is really far-sighted, and it can be said that he has conquered the hearts of the whole clan in one fell swoop. Long Xiaofeng snorted and said, "Really?" Long Jin said: "Patriarch, don't misunderstand, today's matter, we are all coerced by Long Xiangyang's father and son, and we have no intention of embarrassing the patriarch." ”

"However, his subordinates felt that it seemed very inappropriate to allow the entire clan to enter the Dragon Elephant Hall to learn fighting skills and refine magic weapons. Long Jin said, "Patriarch, please think, the disciples in the clan are uneven, and the level and variety of fighting skills are very complicated, let the disciples learn indiscriminately, I am afraid that it will be harmful and useless, according to the humble opinion of the subordinates, all kinds of fighting skills should be classified, and then according to the qualifications of the disciples in the clan, we should learn various fighting skills in a targeted manner, so that it will be better for the disciples in the sect." ”

Long Xiaofeng said: "What you said is right, tomorrow you will find a few clan elders in the clan who are convincing in prestige and qualifications, and let them do this." Long Jin said: "My subordinates also have a suggestion, that is, every disciple who enters the Dragon Elephant Hall to learn fighting skills can levy a certain fee on them. The Linghu and Lingfeng clans did this, and we can follow suit, otherwise after a long time, the funds of the upper and lower clans will be gone. ”

Long Xiaofeng said: "What you said is not unreasonable, when it comes to collecting fees, you can refer to the practices of the Lingfeng and Linghu clans, and make a decision with Taibo." Long Jin said: "Okay, my subordinates will do it." ”

After Long Jin left. Long Xiaofeng walked to the quiet room where he practiced, took out the bamboo slip in his arms, and looked at it carefully, only to see that the bamboo slip was dark and had no peculiarities, so he took out the snow dragon crystal again. Under the red light of the snow dragon crystal, the handwriting of the bamboo slips appeared again, and these handwritings came out one by one, like countless tadpoles swimming and crawling out. Long Xiaofeng recognized them word by word, and after reading them for a long time, he found that these words were not coherent, so he naturally couldn't read the meaning expressed by these words, and he only felt indescribable surprise in his heart.

"How could these words appear irregularly, and what secrets are hidden in them?" Long Xiaofeng thought secretly. "In my opinion, this bamboo slip must have hidden a magical technique, or it is a profound fighting technique. What you have to do now is how to decipher these words, and the Snow Dragon Crystal is obviously not enough to decipher the mystery. Linglong Dao.

Long Xiaofeng said: "You mean, you still need a luminous object similar to Snow Dragon Crystal to decipher the text in this bamboo slip, right?"

Linglong said: "Yes, since this bamboo slip is so magical, if you want to crack it now, I am afraid that it will not be easy, and you still need some kind of opportunity." ”

Long Xiaofeng nodded and said, "You're right, but where to find a luminous object like Snow Dragon Crystal?" Linglong said: "Since it is an opportunity, it is naturally undemanding, but I believe that sooner or later, the master will see the clouds and fog one day." ”

Long Xiaofeng then put the bamboo slip into his arms again and walked out of the quiet room.

The Linglong Clan was originally the most powerful of the three families of the Snowy Gate, and since the creation of the Snowy Gate, the patriarch of the Linglong Clan has always been the head of the Snowy Gate, which has almost become an unwritten rule of the Snowy Gate. If it weren't for the father's forced suicide, this unwritten rule would have continued.

However, a big change three years ago shook the entire family like a landslide and tsunami. In the face of the arrogant Emperor Chiyan, Long Yu chose to commit suicide to save the entire family, but his sacrifice did not add a little cohesion to the entire family, on the contrary, as the last Long Yu of the Spirit Dragon Clan to serve as the head of the Snow Domain Gate, his death invisibly became the disintegration of the entire family*.

It has been three years since my father's departure, and in the past three years, the entire family has been leaderless and consumed by infighting. Three years is enough time to change anything, Long Xiaofeng has changed from a son-in-law to a wandering beggar who is not waiting to be seen by dogs, and others cannot understand the bitterness and bitterness, only he himself knows the taste deeply. In the past three years, many people in the family couldn't bear the fight in the nest, and they chose to leave and find another way to make a living, and some changed their doors and joined the Lingfeng and Linghu clans. It can be said that compared with the past, the power of today's Linglong Clan is not only much worse than before, but also has become a tired egg.

Long Xiaofeng became the head of the Linglong Clan, and he actually defeated Long Xiangyang's father and son, which was obviously very unexpected by the two patriarchs, Lin Changfeng and Shangguan Hong, but in their eyes, the Linglong Clan has long since lost the atmosphere of the past, even if it is barely maintained, it is just a matter of surviving.

Long Xiaofeng walked out of the Qianlong Palace, and took a turn in the Fang Market where herbs were sold everywhere in the family, only to see a scene of people's livelihood withering everywhere, compared with the prosperous Fang Market of the two major families of Lingfeng and Linghu, it was even more miserable and pitiful, and he knew that if he went on like this, whether he could be the patriarch or not, was facing a great test.

Long Jin, who was following behind Long Xiaofeng, saw that the patriarch frowned deeply, and comforted him: "Now that the young patriarch has just taken office, his prestige is insufficient, and those rich owners are still wandering and watching, and they can't make up their minds to open a fang market on our family's territory, and it will get better after a while." ”

Long Xiaofeng frowned and said, "After a while? How long will this period of time take? We can't sit still." You now go to the family and select some young people with good qualifications, and if you want to build a mercenary team as soon as possible, you will be the leader of this mercenary team. If no one has come to our territory to open a market, then we will open it ourselves. Long Jin said: "The patriarch means that his subordinates want to lead the mercenaries to pick herbs on Mount Meru and come back to open a market?"

"Why, don't you dare?" said Long Xiaofeng. Long Jin hurriedly said: "No, of course my subordinates dare, but there is no precedent for people in the Snowy Domain Gate to open a fang market, and it will be spread out, but I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the people of the Lingfeng and Linghu clans." Long Xiaofeng said: "He laughed at them, we do ours, otherwise there will be no taxes, where to find the expenses of a large family." Long Jin said: "It's just that I'm afraid that the people in the clan won't agree to come out as mercenaries, not to mention that we don't have the money to pay them." ”

Long Xiaofeng said: "This is easy to do, you tell them that as long as you are willing to agree to be a mercenary of the Long family, you can go to the Dragon Elephant Hall to learn all kinds of fighting skills for free." Long Jin smiled: "This is a very good temptation, okay, my subordinates will do it." ”

The next day, Long Jin gathered the recruited children of the clan in the fighting hall on the side of the Dragon Elephant Hall, Long Xiaofeng saw that most of the children of the clan were still young, and they were all at the age of blood and strength, and he was very satisfied.

Long Xiaofeng said: "Strive to train them out in a week's time." During this period, each of them must master a fighting skill, and if they can't master it, they will be eliminated directly. Long Jin said: "Don't worry, the patriarch will live up to the patriarch's entrustment!"

"I'm only using the spiritual power of the second stage of the Netherworld now, and in five days, it will be the night of the full moon, and I will be able to see Master again. With the help of her elixir, I should be able to easily break through the third stage of the Secret Realm!" Long Xiaofeng said in his heart. In the past five days, Long Xiaofeng has been diligently cultivating the Ling Xiao Jue over and over again, sometimes idle, and occasionally participating in the study of the bamboo slip for a while, but he has never been able to break through the third stage of the Secret Realm.

"The spiritual power on my body is so strong, and there is an aura vortex formed by the five qi of water, wood, gold, fire, and earth, how can I not break through the third stage of the Secret Realm? Could it be that this Ling Xiao Technique is far from the ordinary Spiritual Technique and Magic Technique, which has caused the slow entry into the realm, if I cultivate other Magic Techniques, I am afraid that I have already broken through the Secret Realm!" Long Xiaofeng secretly pondered in his heart. At this time, Taber quietly walked into the ashram where he was cultivating.

"What's the matter, Taber!" said the dragon. Taber said: "A woman from the Spirit Fox Clan came to find the young master. Long Xiaofeng was puzzled: "Woman?" Taber said: "Exactly, the young master brought her here not long ago." ”

Long Xiaofeng walked out of the quiet room, and saw Shangguan Yuying hanging a long sword at her waist, standing in the corner of the attic not far away with her back on her back, and the beautiful and upright shadow had a kind of moving charm in the sunset. Shangguan Yuying saw Long Xiaofeng, her eyes turned on his face, and she walked straight to the quiet room that Long Xiaofeng came out of.

Long Xiaofeng saw that her expression was calm, and she walked into the quiet room where she cultivated as if nothing had happened, as if she had returned to her own home, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Taber, you can get busy with other things first!" Taber agreed. Long Xiaofeng then followed into the room.

Shangguan Yuying glanced at Long Xiaofeng and said, "Young Patriarch, you promised my sister to help her recover her true body, right?" Long Xiaofeng said: "Yes, I will never break my promise to Long Xiaofeng." Shangguan Yuying nodded and said, "The young patriarch is willing to help my sister, and Yuying has thanked me here." As he spoke, he bowed to Long Xiaofeng.

Long Xiaofeng said: "Girl, don't be polite, your sister saved my life, this kindness, I Long Xiaofeng never dare to forget." Shangguan Yuying said: "My father is very grateful to the young patriarch, the young patriarch can have something difficult at the moment, if there is, I can return to my father, and I can help the young patriarch." Long Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The affairs in the family are all small things, and I can deal with them, so I won't bother the girl." Shangguan Yuying said: "That's good, but I don't know if the young patriarch has figured out a way to deal with that old demon?"

Long Xiaofeng said: "That old demon was originally a black water pit viper raised by Emperor Chiyan, if we want to deal with that old demon, we are bound to alarm Emperor Chiyan, this matter can only be outwitted, and we must not be rash." Shangguan Yuying nodded and said, "What you said is good, but how to outwit it, I'm afraid it's not easy." Long Xiaofeng said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, it is best to set up a bait to fish out this old demon and kill it in one fell swoop, if not, it is better not to move lightly." ”

Shangguan Yuying said: "It seems that you think the same as my father." After speaking, he sighed and said, "In this way, if my sister wants to recover her true body, I am afraid that it is far away." Long Xiaofeng said: "There is no need for the girl to be discouraged, I can join forces with your father in the future, except for this old demon, this should not be a difficult thing." Shangguan Yuying stared at the dragon roaring wind with both eyes and said, "Okay, I will often come to the young patriarch to discuss this matter in the future, and the young patriarch won't mind." Long Xiaofeng said: "Of course I don't mind, the girl can come whenever she wants, and she will be waiting for her at any time." Shangguan Yuying smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll come back to consult the young patriarch if I have something." With that, he walked out of the house and went straight away.

Long Xiaofeng practiced the Lingxiao Jue again in the quiet room, walked outside, and saw that the sky was dark, and a bright moon hung above the night sky like a white jade disk, and when he stepped on the fireball, he galloped towards Mount Meru like a ray of starlight.
