There are two trees on the top of Mount Taiqiu,

One is a plum tree and the other is a peach tree.

There was no connection between the two trees, and there was no similarity other than that they were both a third-order spirit tree that could be advanced.

All the clansmen of the Li family knew that there were two third-order spirit trees on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, and they also knew that there was a large area of flat land between these two third-order spirit trees.

Although they had more or less heard some relevant scenes and details, such as how sweet the spirit peach on the spirit peach tree was, how neat the bluestone slabs spread out on the flat ground, and how vast the sea of clouds outside the mountain top was......

And so on, but few of them have seen it with their own eyes......

Because it was the place where the elders of the family discussed, and there was also the cave mansion of the patriarch and the two uncles, except for being called up to accept the family's task arrangement, these Qi refining period clansmen of the Li family would basically not set foot there.

Over time, the top of Taiqiu Mountain has gradually become a place that ordinary clansmen like the Li family yearn for, just as those mortal clansmen yearn for Taiqiu Mountain.

Both of them have a very special meaning for them!

......

......

At this time, on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, the wind is clear and the clouds are light, the atmosphere is peaceful, and there are two people sitting at the stone table on the flat side, both dressed in black black robes, with a calm look.

Before a new round of wind came from outside the mountain, Li Xuangang was the first to speak.

He straightened his body and said continuously:

"The fourth uncle has entered the late stage of foundation building. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Uncle Seventeen sent a message that the follow-up construction of Lingyun Island has almost been completed, and the line between Lingyun Island and Wanxingfang City has also been successfully opened. ”

"Hmm. ”

"The family's Good Gong Hall and Affairs Pavilion are operating normally, although the latter has a huge system, but the Jade String ability is enough, I handed it over to him. ”

"Hmm. ”

"A few days ago, there were some changes in the cave where the second uncle was retreating, I went to take a look, and it was not a big problem. ”

"Hmm"

...

...

...

“...... In addition, I have already arranged the things you told me before, Eighth Uncle, and when Xuanyu comes out, I should be able to start implementing it.

"And this matter is just in time for the fourth uncle to get out of the customs, and the follow-up implementation will be more appropriate. ”

“.... Hmmm!"

"One last thing, Eighth Uncle...... Half a year has arrived!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding environment instantly quieted down a little.

And this time, Li Changji finally didn't answer with another word, but raised his head, glanced at Li Xuangang opposite, paused for a moment, and finally slowly responded:

"In that case...... So what do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Xuangang did not hesitate at all, and after the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he took out a black item that had been prepared from the storage bag.

Holding it with both hands, it was handed to Li Changji.

Although the latter had already expected it, he still had some hope at the moment, he did not reach out for the first time to take the item that was held by Li Xuangang's hands, but continued to look at him with his eyes, as if he was asking him again:

Do you want to think again?

After waiting for a few breaths, Li Changji finally gave up, he imagined that the other party's move to take back the item did not happen, but saw a trace of firmness in the latter's eyes.

Helplessly, in the end, he had to take back the pitch-black item from Li Xuangang's hand.

Holding the thing in his hand, the lines on it were clearly visible, Li Changji lowered his head and looked at it, understanding the weight of the item in his hand, but at this time, a few flashes of loneliness appeared on his face.

But when he raised his head and looked at Li Xuangang again, his face had returned to normal, and he couldn't see any change from before.

......

......

The wind continued to blow from the other end of the sea of clouds, diluting the sweet smell that had enveloped the entire mountaintop.

This change in the environment made Li Xuangang feel a little better, and he was not very comfortable with the smell that was too sweet.

His nose fluttered slightly, and he turned his head to look at the tall spirit peach tree on the right back.

The fruit on it was already fruitful, and those spirit peaches were much more ripe than the last time he saw them, and judging by their appearance, it would only take another year at most for the family to start picking them again.

Staring at the largest one among the branches, Li Xuangang somehow suddenly remembered his own Jade Luo Peak Peak King in the Boundary Source Space.

"Speaking of which, the last time I entered the space, I didn't see it, could it be that I was sleeping in a beehive?"

Li Xuangang's distraction didn't last long, and soon Li Changji's light cough pulled him back to reality.

Li Changji sat on the other side of the stone table, and waited for his gaze to return to the right before he spoke:

"This family token, since you don't want Xuangang yet, forget it...... But one day, it may still be in your hands, and when that time comes, Uncle Eight hopes that you will not postpone it like now. ”

Li Changji's tone was flat, but Li Xuangang still heard a hint of heaviness, so he deliberately opened his mouth and smiled, and responded:

"It's too early for the eighth uncle to say this, I've looked at the genealogy, and the second brother's name is still there, maybe he won't be back before I take over!"

Pay more attention to the genealogy in the ancestral hall or the patriarch Li Changqing explained to him when he left, but he didn't expect it to become an excuse for him now.

also laughed twice, Li Changji already had an understanding of Li Xuangang's thoughts, so he didn't have too much entanglement in the issue of this family token

He flipped his hand at will, and in the blink of an eye, the family token in his hand, which was very important to the Li family, had disappeared.

......

......

After solving the problem of the ownership of the principal elder in the family, Li Xuangang and Li Changji chatted for a while.

But it didn't last long, and soon the two most important family elders of the Li family ended their greetings, collected their thoughts, and began to talk about business.

And the most important of these is the next major actions of their family.

Although Li Xuangang had already said some major matters in the family at this stage and in the next stage just now, the relevant details still had to be discussed carefully.

First of all, the topic of the two of them was about the medicine garden of the Lingyun Island stronghold.

A few months ago, when Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu had not yet returned from the Hengduan Mountains, Li Changji and Li Qingyang had returned to Taiqiu Mountain ahead of schedule.

And with the appearance of the two of them, the news that the family had opened up a new stronghold in the Wanxing Islands also spread in the Good Gong Hall and the Affairs Pavilion.

Hundreds of ordinary clansmen of the Li family finally learned about the second most prominent monk in the family: Li Qingyang, why he had not appeared in the family for more than ten years.

It turned out that he was sent by the patriarch to do this!

Moreover, now that the eighth uncle Li Changji and the second uncle Li Qingyang have returned to the family, on the side of the Wanxing Islands, are the matters related to Lingyun Island all presided over by the seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui?

Thinking of this, at that time, many of the Li family's Qi refining period cultivators were waiting in the Affairs Pavilion for the family to release a mission about Wanxingfang City and Lingyun Island, but there was no response.

On the contrary, soon after Li Qingyang returned to Taiqiu Mountain, he announced the news of his retreat and cultivation.

In fact, when Li Xuangang returned to Taiqiu Mountain with his injured twelfth brother Li Xuanyu, he did only see the eighth uncle, but not the second uncle.

As for the second uncle Li Qingyang, who was trying to break through the next realm in retreat, he only learned about it after meeting and communicating with his eighth uncle Li Changji.

At that time, Li Xuangang was ready to return the family's family token to Li Changji, but was stopped by the latter for some reasons.

In the end, it was only agreed that Li Xuangang would preside over the family affairs for half a year, and then hand over after he had dealt with all the matters in his hands.

......

......

Li Xuangang was actually not very clear about the matter of Lingyun Island, and all his sources relied on the jade tube that Uncle Seventeen had sent back from there.

Therefore, when discussing with the eighth uncle at this time, he did not immediately exit, but first sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

"Eighth Uncle, according to the news sent back by Uncle Seventeen, all kinds of facilities on Lingyun Island have been completed, and the connection with Wanxingfang City has also been opened, and then he wants to ask the family for another group of clansmen in the late stage of Qi refining to come over for support. ”

Li Changji frowned after hearing this, and then spoke:

"Why?"

Li Xuangang didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully:

"It's because of the invasion of monsters in the sea...... Uncle Seventeen said that the late-stage Qi refining clansmen on Lingyun Island were insufficient, and with those low-level female cultivators alone, I was afraid that when they encountered the invasion of more than three third-order demon beasts, the Guardian Array would not be able to resist it. ”

When Li Changji heard this, his already frowning brows sank even deeper, he thought carefully for a while, and then said:

"This should be just Qing Shui's excuse, Qingyang and I carefully checked the guardian array on the island when we left, as long as he doesn't leave the center of the big array at will, then there is no need to worry too much about security. ”

"Hmm...... Judging from the jade cylinder he sent back, he should have another purpose......"

Before Li Changji finished speaking, Li Xuangang had already reacted.

With his understanding of Uncle Seventeen, I am afraid that it is false to mobilize the clansmen to protect Lingyun Island, and it is true to hunt down and kill the hidden dangers of the family.

I heard that Zhao Yingque, a member of the foundation building period clan who escaped from the Zhao family of Wutong Peak, sneaked into the Wanxing Islands.

According to the temperament of the seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui, since there is a chance to get rid of the troubles forever, how can he let it go.

And Li Changji obviously wants to express this is exactly this.

After some exchanges between the two, soon the family's reply to Li Qingshui and Lingyun Island came out, which roughly meant:

"The rest of the family is also short of manpower, so we won't send people to the Wanxing Islands for the time being.

In addition, if Li Qingshui wants to hunt down and kill Zhao Yingque, who was missed in the battle of the Zhao family's extermination, please think of another countermeasure by yourself.

However, don't delay the rest of the business:

First, protect Lingyun Island and the medicine garden and spiritual field on it.

Second, the cultivation of the monks on the island, especially those low-level female cultivators, should not be abandoned.

Third, the connection channel with Wanxingfang City must be maintained, and the eleven shops of the family in Fang City in the future will have to rely on the harvest of spiritual plants on Lingyun Island as the basic support. ”

In the end, in addition to sending such a message to Li Qingshui, Li Changji also decided to issue a family mission in the Affairs Pavilion.

The specific content of its mission is:

"Half a month later, the family elder Li Qingshu will lead the team to Lingyun Island to participate in the construction of the family's new stronghold.

And those who are in the clan and who are below the fourth level of Qi cultivation can take on this task. ”

Regarding the arrangement of this last task, Li Xuangang certainly knew the deep meaning of the eighth uncle, but he was also one of the promoters and organizers of the family's expansion plan, so he had no objections.

So after Li Changji made arrangements, he nodded and said that he would arrange it later, and let Li Yuxian hang out this task in the affairs cabinet.

And not only that, after a brief thought, Li Xuangang also added a restriction at the end of this task:

"The clansmen who take the task are only men. ”

......

......

After settling the matter of Lingyun Island, the next family matter discussed by Li Xuangang and Li Changji was transferred to the Hengduan Mountain Range.

And there, it is related to the task that Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu jointly carried out a few months ago.
