Chapter Twenty-Three: Return to Taiqiu Mountain

In the family's grain store, Li Xuangang not only saw Li Xuanshan, but also saw his second uncle Li Qingyang.

When Li Xuangang arrived at the grain store, Li Qingyang was talking to Li Xuanshan, who listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

When the two found Li Xuangang, Li Xuanshan took the lead in greeting the ninth brother, Li Xuangang responded with a smile, and then seriously met the second uncle Li Qingyang, who had not seen him for several years.

"It turned out to be Xuan Gang, I wanted to go to you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. ”

Hearing this, Li Xuangang couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he asked:

"I don't know what the second uncle is looking for me for?"

"It's rare to see such a young alchemist, but before leaving, the patriarch solemnly told me that I would take you back. ”

So that's the case, Li Xuangang replied:

"Er Bomo is making fun of Xuan Gang, it's just a fluke, and it's thanks to the eighth uncle's teaching. ”

Li Qingyang waved his hand.

"You don't have to be humble, how many clansmen went to the eighth uncle to learn alchemy before, and you are the only one who succeeds after all. Now that you have become an alchemist, it is inevitable that you will have to make more contributions to the family in the future, such as calling you back to Taiqiu Mountain in a hurry this time, which is also a last resort for the family. ”

"The second uncle is serious, the reason has been explained in the transmission sent to me by the patriarch before, and Xuan Gang naturally will not be ignorant. ”

After that, Li Qingyang took Li Xuangang into the backyard of the grain store and met the other clansmen in the caravan.

What Li Xuangang didn't expect was that the fourth uncle, Li Qingjing, was also here.

Li Xuangang secretly thought: Isn't the fourth uncle Li Qingjing the usual trade route in Wujiangfang City?

Li Xuangang greeted all the clansmen, and the other Li monks also knew that Li Xuangang had become an alchemist, and they also congratulated him.

That night, many monks of the Li clan chatted in the backyard of the grain store, and many of the topics revolved around Li Xuangang, and of course, there were other miscellaneous matters.

Li Xuangang leaned next to Li Xuanshan and listened quietly.

However, there were a large number of clansmen and their voices were chaotic, and Li Xuangang never found a chance to ask the fourth uncle, Li Qingjing.

Late in the evening, the monks of the Li clan also ended their conversation and went back to their rooms to rest.

But Li Xuangang went to Li Xuanshan's room and asked him about something.

After a few years, Li Xuanshan looked much more mature than before, and his cultivation had already reached the fifth level of qi refining.

"Eh, Xuanshan, I don't know why so many clansmen came this time, and why did the fourth uncle also come?"

After Li Xuangang and Li Xuanshan sat down, Li Xuangang asked.

Li Xuanshan showed a smile on his face, and pretended to say mysteriously:

"Brother Jiu doesn't know, this time it's a big deal. ”

Seeing that Li Xuanshan was selling Guanzi, Li Xuangang was not in a hurry, so he waited for his next step.

Li Xuanshan waited for a long time, but found that Li Xuangang did not cooperate with him. So he continued with a bit of a stumbling note.

......

When Li Xuangang came out of Li Xuanshan's room, he already had a general understanding of the reason.

It turned out that the Wang family of the Jindan family suddenly decided to gather the resources of the five major families in Tianhefang City after the treasure ship trade in Binhaifang City and prepared to go to Limeng Island again.

The five major families in Tianhefang City are headed by the Wang family, and only the Wang family has a treasure ship, so the other four families, including the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain, take the Wang family's treasure ship to Limeng Island to trade every time.

Of course, it is not a small amount of spirit stones that need to be consumed to launch a treasure ship, and this spirit stone has to be shared by the other four foundation building families such as the Li family, while the Wang family is responsible for providing the treasure ship.

This time to Limeng Island, the clan brought a large number of spirit valleys to exchange for Lingdao in exchange for spirit stones, in order to make things go smoothly, the clan sent Li Qingjing and Li Qingyang, the two most elite monks in the late stage of Qi refining, to take charge.

On the second day, after Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing transported the goods from the family to the Wang family's treasure ship, they said goodbye to Li Xuangang.

It was the two elders of the Wang family who controlled the treasure ship, and there was no need to worry about safety, so Li Xuangang did not stay long in the port of Binhaifang City, but set off back to Taiqiu Mountain with the rest of the clansmen with the earth horse beast caravan.

But Li Xuanshan didn't go all the way with him, but stalked Li Qingyang to make an exception and let him go with the ship to Limeng Island.

In the end, Li Qingyang was entangled by him and had no choice, so he finally let him get on the treasure ship.

There were no twists and turns along the way, and after nearly a month, the caravan finally returned to Taiqiu Mountain.

The familiar mountain was getting closer and closer, and Li Xuangang woke up from meditation and opened his eyes to look at Taiqiu Mountain. Inexplicably, Li Xuangang actually had the feeling that he had been away for a long time.

But when you think about it, it's only been a few years.

When the earth horse beast pulled the monks of the Li family through the spiritual field at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang found that hundreds of mortal clansmen had gathered at the foot of the mountain.

He hadn't reacted when he first saw it, and it wasn't until he walked in and saw many five or six-year-old children in the crowd that he remembered that it was time for the family to test the spiritual root and replenish the new family cultivators.

Every three years, the Li family will organize a test of the spiritual root of the mortal clan of the family, and every city of the Li family will be organized by the city lord to organize the school-age children in the city to come to Taiqiu Mountain to test whether there is an immortal fate.

This is very important to Taiqiu Mountain, and it is also very important for the children of the Li family, who are still a little ignorant.

The main source of the Li family's monks was born from many mortal clansmen, and in addition, there were a very small number of monks with foreign surnames who married into Taiqiu Mountain.

For example, Li Xuangang's tenth brother Li Xuankun was like these children who went through the family test and found that he had the talent for cultivation, so he stayed on Taiqiu Mountain.

When Li Xuangang's caravan passed by these mortal people, those young children of the Li clan seemed to see such a huge earth horse beast for the first time, and they all opened their mouths and exclaimed, and some kept shouting: Big horse!

The elders next to him hurriedly stopped them, for fear that the child's loud exclamations would disturb these giant beasts.

When Li Xuangang rode by the earth horse beast, he also found a little girl timidly trying to reach out and touch the earth horse beast.

Li Xuangang was playful for a while, and deliberately made a sudden noise to scare her.

The voice was not loud, just a little sudden, but I didn't expect the latter to be just right, and she cried directly, and the elders who took care of him hurriedly dragged her back, and while apologizing to Li Xuangang, she tried to stop the girl's crying.

However, this made Li Xuangang a little embarrassed, he has practiced so far, and he has a lot of lives on his hands, and this is the first time he has encountered this situation today.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuangang jumped down from the earth horse beast, and after signaling the clansmen of the caravan behind him to take his earth horse beast first, Li Xuangang walked towards the girl.

When the girl saw Li Xuangang, the culprit, walking towards her, she woke up suddenly, and she didn't dare to cry, but her eyes were red, and the tears dried down, leaving two tear stains on her red face.

She remembered that before she set off, her father had warned her that she was not going to an ordinary place this time, but the holy place of the family, which was inhabited by the protectors of the entire Li family, and she must not do anything out of the ordinary, so as not to anger the other party.

Seeing Li Xuangang coming over, the elder who was protecting her hurriedly said:

"It's no wonder that the clan is not sensible..... Disturbed.. I am.. Yuzhang City..."

He was getting more and more nervous, and his words were a little messed up.

Seeing this, Li Xuangang waved his hand. Said:

"It's okay, I caused it, don't be nervous. ”

Although they belong to the same clan, but after all, the immortals are different, even though the Li family is generous to the mortals, but if they clash with the monks of their own family at will, they will inevitably be mortals who are unlucky in the end.

That's why the clansman was so nervous.

Li Xuangang has cultivated so far, and it is not the first time he has encountered this kind of mortal clan, so he doesn't care very much.

After he stopped the other person from talking, he crouched down and looked at the girl in front of him, who was crying before and was now trying to control her tears.

Li Xuangang looked at it for a moment, then took out something from the storage bag, handed it to the other party, and said:

"This thing is given to you, and you must not cry. ”

Although she still couldn't stop her tears, the girl nodded slightly.

stretched out his pretty little hand and took a Yanggu Dan handed over by Li Xuangang.

Then, Li Xuangang asked again, "What's your name?"

Her elder quietly nudged her, and she replied in a childish voice:

"On the clan, my name is Li Qian"

Hearing her name clearly, Li Xuangang got up and said to him, If you can go up this Taiqiu Mountain, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me, my Xuanzi generation ranks ninth.

"Aren't you happy to go to the Xie clan?"

So a slightly childish "Thank you, clan" came out again.

After speaking, Li Xuangang left from here and swept towards the heights of Taiqiu Mountain.

After Li Xuangang left, although the time was very short, he just got off the horse and said something to a girl, but he still let the clansmen next to him start to talk about it, and the scene seemed a little chaotic for a while.

Obviously, the monk of the Li family, who was presiding over the test, also noticed this, so he cast a spell to amplify his voice a little, and the scene was restored to its original state.

And the little figure in the crowd silently recited in his heart: Xuanzi ranks ninth.
