Chapter Thirty-Six: Li Xuanshan on the Island of Limeng
A month passed quickly, and Li Xuangang originally wanted to configure a set of armor specially used for refining corpses for refining corpses that had already refined the fifth-layer realm of qi, but he didn't find a suitable one, whether it was in the family's Good Achievement Hall or in Tianhefang City.
couldn't find it for a long time, so Li Xuangang put this matter aside first, and prepared to go to Wujiangfang City to find a suitable one.
Today, after Li Xuangang woke up from the cave mansion, he did not enter the boundary source space to take care of the spirit plant as usual, but left the cave mansion and walked towards the side peak of Taiqiu Mountain.
Today was the last time he carried out his family's alchemy mission. As usual, when Li Xuangang arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion on the side peak, Li Yuxian was already waiting for him here.
Pushing open the door of the Alchemy Pavilion, the uncle and nephew cooperated one last time.
In the past two years, due to the increase in the number of family spiritual fields, and the fact that there are some clansmen of the jade character generation who have just entered the mountain, there are more Yanggu Dans that need to be refined every month.
These few times, the family gave Li Xuangang a share of five hundred shares of Yanggu Dan, in addition to twenty shares of Chunlu Dan's refining materials.
There were so many materials that Li Yuxian couldn't fit in one storage bag at all, so he hung three storage bags around his waist, one of which was issued to him by his family, and the other two were given to him by the Shangong Hall to hold alchemy materials and Cheng Dan.
Li Xuangang's talent for alchemy, as the eighth uncle Li Changji said, he may be the most suitable for alchemy among the five generations of monks of the Li family's "Taiyi Changqing Xuan".
Today, Li Xuangang's Cheng Dan refining rate of Yanggu Dan has reached eighty percent, and occasionally it will reach ninety percent when he is lucky, and he only uses the yellow bud grass provided by the family to refine Chunlu Dan, and now the Cheng Dan rate is gradually approaching fifty percent.
Originally, after the eighth uncle Li Changji returned to Taiqiu Mountain, he intended to guide Li Xuangang's alchemy, but there have been many family affairs in recent years, and it has not been realized.
Li Xuangang sat down as usual, and then lifted the piece of dark iron at the bottom of the Huoqian Qingyang furnace.
And Li Yuxian, as before, began to sort out the alchemy materials for the ninth uncle Li Xuangang.
However, this time, Li Xuangang did not immediately start alchemy, but asked Li Yuxian, who was sorting out the materials:
"Yuxian, do you like alchemy?"
Seeing Uncle Jiu's rare talk to himself, Li Yuxian stopped his movements. With some shame on his face, he replied:
"Yuxian doesn't know if he likes it or not, but he has seen Uncle Jiu practice alchemy a lot, and sometimes he thinks about it, what will happen if he refines it himself?"
Hearing this answer, Li Xuangang showed a smile and said to Li Yuxian:
"In addition to cultivation in the past few years, I have spent more time going to the library to look at the classics about various spiritual plants, noting down their respective characteristics, and comparing the things written in the classics when taking care of the elixirs in the medicine garden...... After you enter the middle stage of qi refining, you will go to learn alchemy from your eighth uncle, Li Changji!"
When Li Yuxian heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, why did Uncle Nine talk to me about this today, but he still replied:
"Jade String knows. ”
"As for the eighth uncle, I will go to tell you, if he is not free in the past few years, then you will go to Tianhefang City to find your thirteenth uncle Li Qingtian. ”
After speaking, Li Xuangang did not delay any longer and began to refine this month's Yanggu Dan.
It wasn't until five days later, when Li Yuxian saw Li Xuangang appear in the family procession going to Wujiangfang City, that he knew why Uncle Nine would talk to him like this.
......
The sky was clear, and the white clouds hung in the blue sky, and there were not many clouds, so the sky revealed a large area of blue.
Underneath this blue, it's still a patch of blue.
There is a huge island in the blue below, which is one of the largest islands in the eastern sea of Chaoyang Continent, called Limeng Island. Its owner was a scattered cultivator who had reached the late Jindan period.
At this time, in Donghaifang City, which is far from Mengdao, Li Xuanshan was lying on the railing of the second floor of an attic boringly, his eyes kept patrolling the streets of Donghaifang City, observing those shops and the monks who came and went on the streets.
When Li Xuanshan was bored and preparing to end this "visit", he found seven or eight people in black Xuanyi walking not far away, among which the leaders were his second uncle Li Qingyang and fourth uncle Li Qingjing.
Seeing this, Li Xuanshan hurriedly adjusted his state, straightened the Xuanzhi on his body, and then went down from the second floor and waited for Li Qingyang and them at the door of the attic.
This road is not long, and when Li Xuanshan just stood at the door of the attic, Li Qingyang had already walked over.
Li Xuanshan welcomed seven or eight clansmen into the door, and then said:
"Second uncle, how is this time?"
The seven or eight Li clansmen who came in each found a place to sit down and began to rest.
Some picked up the tea that was placed next to them, while others closed their eyes to recuperate.
After Li Qingyang sat down, he took out a sound transmission jade cylinder from the storage bag, and then said to Li Xuanshan:
"Eighth Uncle Li Changji has come with news and asked us to follow the Wang family's treasure ship back in the near future. ”
Hearing this, Li Xuanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, since he begged the second uncle to come to Limeng Island with a dead face, he had been here for five years.
Li Xuanshan was originally a person who loved to run around, and it was also for this reason that he liked to follow the family's caravan merchants, and he thought that he could have a long experience and see if there was anything different, but he didn't expect that after the second uncle came, he stayed in Donghaifang City and didn't leave.
No matter how novel the environment is, you will get tired of staying for a long time, and it is even more so for Li Xuanshan, in less than half a year, he has thoroughly explored Donghaifang City, a large market no less than Binhai Fang City.
Then he fell into a state of depression.
Because Li Xuanshan was only refining the fifth layer of qi when he came, and he was not within the family's sphere of influence from Meng Island, the second uncle, Li Qingyang, was worried that he would have an accident if he ran around, so he was not allowed to leave Donghaifang City.
After the fourth uncle Li Qingjing took a sip of tea, he said to Li Xuanshan, who was still in a state of joy:
"Since the eighth uncle has already come to the news, then Xuanshan, you will go and inform the clansmen who are still cultivating in the cave mansion of Donghaifang City, and come here to discuss when the time comes. ”
"Yes. ”
After Li Xuanshan saluted Li Qingjing with his fists, he turned around and walked out of the gate of the attic, and as soon as he got out of the gate, his steps immediately sped up a lot, and he seemed to be a little impatient.
After Li Xuanshan left, Li Qingyang said to the rest of the clansmen:
"This hunt for sea beasts lasted a long time, and I believe you are also tired, so find a room to rest at will, and come back to the lobby at night. ”
When the rest of the clansmen heard Li Qingyang's order, they got up and left the lobby one after another, and each found a room to rest.
But Li Qingjing was left by Li Qingyang.
"Qingjing, you will arrange the matter of the clansmen going back on the Wang family's treasure ship, and wait until tomorrow to communicate with the Wang family, so as not to make any mistakes. ”
Li Qingjing replied:
"Second brother, rest assured. ”
Then, Li Qingyang sat on a chair in the lobby and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Before coming to leave Meng Island, the patriarch Li Changqing explained to him the purpose of this sea trade, so Li Qingyang was also ready to stay in Donghaifang City for a long time.
Before leaving, Li Changqing gave him some spirit stones for the cultivation of the more than twenty clansmen he brought on Limeng Island, although there were not many, but Li Qingyang knew that the family was stockpiling the spirit stones needed for the spiritual vein upgrade.
I can't squeeze out many spirit stones for him at all, I'm afraid that these spirit stones for myself are the fifth uncle's own private storage.
On this trip to Limeng Island, Li Qingyang brought a total of twenty-one clansmen here, and he divided the spirit stones given to him by the patriarch Li Changqing according to the different cultivation of each person, and at the same time warned them that they would have to stay in Donghaifang City for a while, as for how long, it would wait for when the news came from Taiqiu Mountain, so the spirit stones should be spared.
Because of this operation, the Wang family facilitated, so after Li Qingyang and the others came, they were arranged to be in an attic of the Wang family in Donghaifang City, which should have been discussed between the patriarch and the Wang family a long time ago.
Although there is a temporary place to rest, Li Qingyang also knows that he can't stay here for too long, because this place is the same as Binhaifang City, the major shops on the street are not allowed to cultivate, and if you want to cultivate, you can only go to the cave mansion opened up by Donghaifang City, of course, this needs to pay a certain rent.
You need to rent a cave mansion to cultivate, so the spirit stones on the Li family are destined to not last long, so Li Qingyang summoned the eight late-stage qi refining clansmen in the team half a year after coming to Donghaifang City to form a team to hunt sea beasts, while the other clansmen with lower cultivation were arranged to retreat and cultivate in the cave mansion rented by Donghaifang City.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Li Qingyang and his people have been hunting some low-level sea beasts in the coastal sea, most of these are first-order sea beasts, and sometimes if you are lucky, you will encounter some second-order sea beasts who want to be in the late stage of qi refining.
Relying on Li Qingyang and their regular hunting of sea beasts every month, the cultivation of the twenty-one clansmen was continued, although the resources were still insufficient, but they could still deal with the past with a little saving.
Today, when Li Xuanshan saw Li Li Qingyang and them coming back, it was they who ended this hunting operation.
On the way back, the hunting team happened to meet the monks of the Wang family, who brought them the sound of the eighth uncle Li Changji.
That's why Li Qingjing asked Li Xuanshan to inform the other clansmen who were still cultivating in the rented cave mansion to come to the army at night.
......
As night fell, the twenty-one members of the Li clan of Taiqiu Mountain, who had come here on the Wangjiabao boat five years ago, gathered in an attic in Donghaifang City.
Everyone stood in the lobby, waiting for Li Qingyang, who was the leader, to speak.
After seeing that all the clansmen had arrived, Li Qingyang took out Li Changji's voice transmission jade cylinder, and then roughly talked about the contents inside.
Finally, I said a word.
"Probably this is the case, the spiritual veins on Taiqiu Mountain have been upgraded to the third order, and a lot of spiritual fields have been newly opened, and many clansmen will also be sent over on the side of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and there is a shortage of manpower in the family now, Eighth Uncle Li Changji has discussed with the Wang family, and we will set off back to Taiqiu Mountain in the near future, so don't leave too far these days, if there is anything that has not been dealt with, it is best to solve it tomorrow." Did you hear me clearly?"
......
That night, Li Xuanshan sat on the roof of the attic, looking west, but he couldn't see anything clearly except for a hazy night, only the outlines of some large treasure ships.
The cool evening breeze blew, and Li Xuanshan lay down, his hands behind his head, looking at the dark sky.
He suddenly remembered that the last time he was lying down like this was in the carriage of the family caravan with Ninth Brother Li Xuangang, and it was Linggu underneath.
He thought: Linggu is much more comfortable to fall asleep than this stone slab.
At that time, he also told Brother Jiu that it would be good if there were twice as many spiritual fields at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain in the future, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be realized now, although from the second uncle's story, the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain have not doubled the number, but fortunately, it is constantly approaching the goal.
As soon as he thought that he would be able to leave Donghaifang City in the near future, Li Xuanshan had an irrepressible smile on his fat face.
Li Xuanshan, who was already refining qi at the sixth level, couldn't help but start to guess what Brother Jiu was doing now? Is it alchemy in the Alchemy Pavilion on the side peak? Anyway, he hasn't been to the Alchemy Pavilion on the side peak yet, so next time he has to find a reason to go up and down, I heard that there is a red Zhu Dan fruit that spreads down from the ridge, and it should be very beautiful when he looks at it from the side peak.
Since cultivating the Dao, Li Xuanshan, who has been running around with the family caravan since the third layer of qi refining, has never missed Taiqiu Mountain so much.
