Half an hour later, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyuan appeared on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, and at this time, Li Changji was sitting opposite them, looking at a classic book in his hand.

It took a long time for him to look away and close the book in his hand.

"These are the contents of those four storage bags?"

Li Xuangang nodded and said:

"These four storage bags were opened by Xuan Yuan, and according to the situation I encountered in that hall at the beginning, it is not surprising that these items appear in them. ”

At this time, the items in the four quaint storage bags were taken out and piled up in front of the three of them.

There are hundreds of books related to puppetry, some half-finished puppet beasts, and a batch of materials of various grades, which seem to be needed to refine puppets.

When the breeze blew and the three of them ended their conversation, Li Changji waved his hand and put all the items in front of him back into the storage bag, and said:

"I'll make arrangements for that. ”

Immediately, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyuan both got up and retreated and left from the top of the mountain.

......

After separating from Li Xuanyuan, Li Xuangang walked towards the cave mansion while thinking about the classics just now.

With these things in the Library Pavilion, maybe he will really be able to establish the inheritance of puppet art in the family in the future, but I don't know how the eighth uncle is going to manipulate it.

Since there is no experience to draw on, it is undoubtedly very difficult to build a system from scratch, and there must be many things involved, such as selecting suitable and talented people to study, and the allocation of practice resources, which need to be seriously considered.

However, he doesn't have to worry too much about this matter for the time being, and the eighth uncle Li Changji will naturally arrange it properly.

After returning to the cave, Li Xuangang no longer thought about these things, but took out the futon, sat cross-legged on it, and then held his breath and concentrated, preparing to fall into a long retreat.

......

After he fell into retreat, the entire Taiqiu Mountain seemed to be dormant, as if waiting for something to break out!

For the next six years:

Patriarch Li Changqing retreated at the top of the mountain, preparing to break through the realm and enter the Jindan realm!

Li Changji is in charge of the entire family's affairs, and he will make the most of the resources that Li Changqing and Li Xuangang brought back!

Li Changzhi and Li Qingshu continued to repair the treasure ship in the East China Sea, and with Li Changji's resource tilt, the repair process was extremely smooth, and their refining level was also greatly improved!

Li Qingyang is still staying in Wanxingfang City, Li Changji has already sent more than ten clansmen to assist, originally after the teleportation array in Donghaifang City was opened, Li Xuanshan, who was ranked fifteenth in the Xuanzi generation, was very active about going to Wanxingfang City, but was rejected by Li Changji!

In Donghaifang City, the grocery store that Li Xuangang got before was also reopened, officially marked with the mark of Taiqiu Mountain, and the clansmen sent over not only had to run the store, but also were responsible for communicating with Wanxingfang City, Li Changji originally planned to buy a few more stores in Donghaifang City, but due to the lack of spirit stones, he had to give up in the end!

Li Qingjing sends the income of the spirit stone back to Taiqiu Mountain every year in the Lingshan stronghold, and has also been paying attention to the dynamics of Hengduanfang City.

Li Qinghuan has been staying in Wujiangfang City, and from time to time he will bump into Li Qingjing and coordinate the family resources of the two places.

However, in the past six years, they have found that there is something wrong with Li Xuankun, originally he has been assisting Li Qingjing in taking care of the Lingshan stronghold, but he has been a little diligent in going to the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range over the years.

The two discussed and talked to Li Xuankun, but the latter said that it was okay, and he just went inside to hunt demon beasts normally.

Since Li Xuankun's cultivation was growing steadily and he was not injured, Li Qingjing and Li Qinghuan did not inform Taiqiu Mountain of this matter, but paid more attention to Li Xuankun!

On the other hand, Li Qingshui has been staying outside almost all these years, and when he appeared in Taiqiu Mountain again, he was covered in blood, but his cultivation had already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and he and Eighth Uncle Li Changji had a long night at the top of the mountain, and finally he led more than ten clansmen in the late stage of Qi refining and left the family again!

On Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuanyuan, who ranked thirteenth in the Xuanzi generation, was in retreat, preparing to break through the late stage of foundation building, and Li Xuangang, who was ranked ninth in the Xuanzi generation, was also in retreat, also preparing to break through the late stage of foundation building.

In the course of these six years, in the fourth year, Li Changji plucked the new two ghost fruits from the top of the mountain. A month later, three figures appeared on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, namely Li Xuankun, Li Xuanyu, and Li Xuanshan.

The three of them had all reached the ninth level of qi refining for more than two years at this time, and they were the three clansmen who were most likely to build a foundation among the remaining clansmen of the Xuanzi Generation. Tell the three of them about the family contribution that needs to be exchanged for Tsukidan, and then Li Changji will let them disperse!

Two years after they each went to prepare for the family's contribution, a cave on Taiqiu Mountain suddenly opened, and the nearby spiritual energy frantically poured in, and was immediately absorbed by the figure sitting on the stone bed inside.

When everything returned to calm, Li Xuanyuan walked out of it, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his long hair casually draped behind his head, and he could faintly feel a more powerful aura on his body than before he retreated.

At this point, in addition to Li Changji, who is ranked eighth in the eldest generation, Taiqiu Mountain has one more elder who has reached the realm of the late stage of foundation building!

Soon after Li Xuanyuan came out, Li Xuangang's cave mansion also moved, but those spiritual qi only disappeared in a flash and failed to gather successfully.

In the cave, Li Xuangang slowly opened his eyes, and there was some tiredness in his eyes.

"It's still a little reluctant!"

Six years ago, he thought that his accumulation was enough, so he prepared enough spirit stones, as well as the third-order pill given to him by his family, and he thought of breaking through to the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop.

But at the last moment, it still fell short and failed to complete the final breakthrough.

was a little depressed in his heart, but Li Xuangang was not discouraged, and breathed on the futon alone, and then returned to normal.

He got up from the futon, casually patted some of the dust on his body that had been stained by years of meditation, and then put away the spirit stones and pills that had not been used up.

He paced back and forth in the cave, reflecting on why he had not succeeded in breaking through this time.

In the end, I found that the most fundamental reason was that my own accumulation was not enough, and I needed more time to cultivate to condense my existing cultivation.

On the other hand, this retreat was not completely fruitless, although the retreat of nearly six years did not allow him to successfully break through to the late stage of foundation building, but in fact he was already very close to the boundary of that breakthrough, almost only one step away.

When the accumulated time is enough, there is no major problem in breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.

Thinking of this, Li Xuangang was no longer entangled, but simply moved for a while, and then continued to sit down, preparing to stabilize his cultivation that fluctuated a little because of the failure of the breakthrough.

......

Just a month before Li Xuangang finished his retreat, Li Changji suddenly sent a message to all the clansmen scattered in the major cities, asking all the clansmen to rush back to Taiqiu Mountain as quickly as possible, except for the necessary manpower left.

......

Another month passed, Li Xuangang pushed open the cave mansion and appeared on Taiqiu Mountain, although the breath on his body is still in the middle stage of foundation building, but it is much stronger than before, as he himself estimated, there is only one last step left from the late stage of foundation building.

Turning around to close the cave, he walked on the path of Taiqiu Mountain, the warm sunlight sprinkled down, the mountain breeze blowing, and the fragrance of various spiritual plants was mixed in between.

He walked towards the top of the mountain, preparing to find his eighth uncle, Li Changji, so that he could take on some family tasks and condense his cultivation.

But as he walked, he sensed something was wrong:

The number of clansmen on Taiqiu Mountain seems to have increased, and according to the past, there should not be so many clansmen left in Taiqiu Mountain now.

Especially among them, there are quite a few clansmen in the late stage of Qi refining, according to common sense, they should be performing family tasks outside at this time!

Just as he was thinking about this matter, a clear figure appeared not far in front of him, and she was surrounded by many people of the jade generation, learning the method of spiritual plant cultivation.

Li Xuangang was stunned for a moment, completely unexpectedly that he would meet Han Yuru at this time.

Just as he was thinking about what he should do next, Han Yuru turned around and saw him.

Looking at each other, looking at each other without saying a word, time seems to have frozen at this moment!

Li Xuangang looked over, Han Yuru had not changed in the slightest from many years ago, her skin was like congealed fat, her willow leaves were bent her eyebrows, and her long and supple hair was tied with a hairband casually and hung down to her waist.

A white shirt, with a hint of dumbness on his face at this time, and a dim light appeared in his big eyes.

In the end, after Li Xuangang stopped in place for a moment, he still took the initiative to walk over there, with a faint smile on his face.

When he walked in, the surrounding jade clansmen also saw him, so they bowed their hands one after another, and said in unison:

"I've seen Uncle Nine!"

Li Xuangang nodded at them, and then said to Han Yuru:

"Han Keqing, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Han Yuru looked at him, pursed her mouth slightly, and just spoke: "Long time ......"

Suddenly, at this moment, the spiritual veins and aura of the entire Taiqiu Mountain were chaotic.

Vortices of aura continued to form, and then gathered towards the top of the mountain.

For a while, the concentration of aura on the top of Taiqiu Mountain reached a terrifying level.

Li Xuangang felt this change, felt something in his heart, turned his head suddenly, stared in the direction of the top of the mountain, with a hint of surprise and excitement, and muttered:

"Could it be that the fifth uncle ......?"

......

At this time, from a distance, the majestic and huge Taiqiu Mountain is changing, and violent aura fluctuations are coming and going.

But fortunately, the mountain protection array was opened by Li Changji in time, so this vision was not perceived by the outside world!

Countless clansmen began to gather in the ancestral hall, and gradually on the bluestone slabs outside the ancestral hall, many black figures appeared!
