As one of the nine largest cities in the middle of the continent, there is no doubt about the prosperity of Shuangjiao City.

When Li Xuangang left the cave mansion and arrived at the gate of Shuangjiao City, the Hengduan Mountain Range in the distance had just turned white.

At the gate of Shuangjiao City, there is an endless stream of monks entering and leaving, and they are all in a hurry, many monks in the foundation building period are after leaving the city gate for a certain distance, they immediately sacrifice their flying magic weapons, most of them are fleeing to the Hengduan Mountains, and a small part is fleeing to other directions.

Falling from the Moqing Flying Boat, Li Xuangang, who had already hidden the breath of his whole body, looked sideways at the retreats heading to the Hengduan Mountain Range, and a little curiosity rose in his heart.

Why do more monks seem to be heading to the Hengduan Mountains today than in the past?

With a wave of his hand, he put the Moqing Flying Boat into the storage bag, and slowed down in the light of many different colors and speeds.

He found that not only were there more monks going to the Hengduan Mountains today, but there were also many cultivators gathering in the places where they could see, and they were also heading towards the Hengduan Mountains.

"Or what's going on in the Hengduan Mountains?"

Since Li Xuangang has been in retreat for several years, and now he is out of the customs, he still doesn't know the situation in Shuangjiao City and the entire area of influence of the Imperial Spirit Sect, so he can probably guess this.

The pace slowed down for a while, and then returned to normal, what happened in the outside world was not important to Li Xuangang, who had just broken through the realm, and he didn't plan to inquire about this anomaly.

He just looked at it briefly, and then continued to move forward, entering the interior of the Fang City of Shuangjiao City, preparing to continue to complete the purpose of his coming here today.

Through the gate of Shuangjiao City, there is a big road in front of the eyes, here is the same as Li Xuangang expected, there are many monks on the street, they are more or less gathered together, and it looks a little messy.

Wandering his eyes, he saw more disciples sent by the Imperial Spirit Sect to maintain order in the city near the street.

Li Xuangang retracted his gaze, no longer looked at the other monks, restrained his breath, and walked through the crowd towards the southeast of Shuangjiao City.

......

......

Shuangjiaocheng, Jintian Street in the southeast area of Fangcheng.

In the unworthy "Li's Business Bureau", Li Yuqian, who was wearing a goose yellow long skirt and a plain white and elegant jacket on her upper body, was bored.

She leaned half-seated and half-lying behind the counter, her eyes were misty, thinking that if no monk came to the door for another half an hour, she would go to Shuangjiao City for a walk.

Maybe you can also find some useful spirit plants or demon beast materials for your cultivation.

Recently, there have been more monks going to the Hengduan Mountains in the city, and there are also many novelties in the various shops and casual training markets in the city.

Li Yuqian's cultivation encountered a bottleneck when he broke through to the eighth layer of qi refining, and he had already had the idea of going to Fang City to try his luck.

Monk cultivation, in addition to talent, breakthroughs in cultivation are also very related to chance, and chance is a thing that is difficult to explain clearly, maybe it is hidden in your random outing.

An elixir, a spiritual plant, or simply someone.

The store that the Li family purchased in Shuangjiao City is located in the southeast, and the location is extremely remote, and there are not many customers who usually come here.

Even if there have been more monks coming and going at the door of the shop recently, in fact, under Li Yuqian's care, there are very few monks who really come in to trade, and they are all monks in the Qi refining period, and the business they do is nothing more than the scale of dozens of spirit stones, and the business of hundreds of spirit stones is very rare.

But fortunately, the family sent her here not to make a transaction to earn spirit stones, but to be responsible for the connection between Taiqiu Mountain and the ninth uncle Li Xuangang and the eldest brother Li Yuheng.

Therefore, Li Yuqian made up her mind to pay attention, and was ready to close the store after a while, and go out to find a "chance" for her breakthrough.

Get up from the wooden chair, walk around the counter, and casually look at the items on the three shelves in the store.

"This time, the Imperial Spirit Sect issued a strangulation order, the last time the eldest brother came here, he said that he might participate, and the calculation time should be about the same, but I don't know if he will come over again before he goes. ”

"If you come over, you will directly inform him of Uncle Changji's instructions, and if you don't come, I will still have to summon him as before. ”

Thinking of this, Li Yuqian suddenly had a headache, after all, the Imperial Spirit Sect is a big sect, and monks from the outside world need to face a lot of trouble if they want to communicate inside, and Li Yuqian knows that this time Uncle Ji's instructions have a lot of content that is inconvenient to reveal to outsiders.

Fortunately for the family, the Imperial Spirit Sect's recruitment of disciples in the sect is based on the principle of teaching without class, and it more or less roughly knows which disciples have which cultivation forces behind them. The Imperial Spirit Sect is huge, so naturally it doesn't care too much about it.

But according to the last time the eldest brother came here to meet with him, Li Yuqian knew that the latter was participating in a selection within the Imperial Spirit Sect, and this selection involved a Jindan Stage elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect, as if he wanted to select several disciples from the Foundation Building Period to go to the mountain where his cave was located as an entourage.

She was worried that her summons would affect her eldest brother in this selection within the Imperial Spirit Sect.

After all, not every Jindan Stage Elder of the Imperial Spirit Sect likes disciples in the sect with family backgrounds.

In case his own summons caused the eldest brother to be vetoed in advance by the Jindan Elder during the selection period......

Standing at the door of the shop, looking at the monks passing in front of him, in the end, Li Yuqian still planned that if the eldest brother Li Yuheng couldn't come recently, he would find a way to go to the mountain gate of the Imperial Spirit Sect to see if he could see it, and then personally inform him of the content of the message sent by Uncle Changji.

"Seniors. ”

A call from behind her suddenly sounded in Li Yuqian's ears, so she turned around and scattered the thoughts in her head.

In front of her, a small figure emerged from behind the curtain inside the shop.

As he walked, he lowered the sleeves of his hands and covered his two crisp white arms.

"Senior, I have already processed that batch of second-order Dawn Fruits, and all the juice has been put into the jade bottle, which is a storage bag. ”

Li Yuqian stretched out her hand to take the storage bag, swept her senses, and found that there were more than 100 family-made jade bottles inside.

Looking at this amount, she knew that the other party was as down-to-earth as ever, not slippery at all, and honestly squeezed the juice in each Dawn Fruit.

Therefore, a smile appeared on her face, and she took out the twenty-five lower grade spirit stones that had been prepared from her waist and handed them to the other party, and the little figure showed a trace of joy on his face that could not be concealed.

Although it took a whole night of hard work, it was extremely worthwhile to be able to earn twenty-five spirit stones in peace.

And apart from this Li family's business bureau, she doesn't have too many other channels to earn spirit stones.

"Xiaoqing. ”

The young female cultivator who was called by Li Yuqian to be Xiaoqing put away the spirit stone in her hand, and then looked up at the other party, and said "um" softly, waiting for the former's next words.

"It's hard this time, there will be a batch of Dawn Fruits to arrive in about half a month, so you can come over early then. ”

The smile on Xiao Qing's face had not disappeared for a moment, and at this time, it was a little deeper on the original basis.

She knew that this was the shopkeeper of the Li Clan's business bureau who was deliberately helping herself, so that she could earn some spirit stones.

"Seniors, rest assured, Xiaoqing will definitely come on time. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuqian's mouth, and she reached out and rubbed the top of Xiao Qing's head, which was much shorter than herself, and ruffled the latter's hair a lot.

Xiaoqing is the little girl Li Yuqian accidentally met in the store five years ago when she was just sent by her family to garrison Shuangjiao City.

At that time, she was only eleven or twelve years old, and the girl who cultivated to be in the second layer of qi refining has now come and gone, although her cultivation is still average, only the fourth layer of qi refining, but her round face looks really cute.

After completing the task this time, Xiaoqing did not leave immediately, but sat down in the lobby of the store together under Li Yuqian's instructions, and the two of them began to drink tea on a wooden table.

The tea is Yinglu tea, a first-order high-grade spiritual plant, which is a new spiritual plant planted on the sixth side peak of Taiqiu Mountain.

After soaking it in special spiritual spring water, drinking it has a certain effect on increasing the cultivation of monks in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, and for monks in the late stage of Qi refining, it is not completely useless, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Taiqiu Mountain will give a certain quota to the clansmen in the Qi refining period every year, and Li Yuqian usually doesn't drink it, but she suddenly remembered it at this moment, so she took Xiaoqing to taste it together.

Taking a sip, a clear breath that belongs to the fragrance of tea suddenly fills the mouth, and when this fragrance of tea enters the mind along the mouth and nose, the consciousness also becomes extremely clear.

Swallow the tea water in your mouth three times, each swallow is a enjoyment, and when you completely swallow a sip of tea, the tea fragrance remains in your mouth, and the tea that is swallowed into the stomach also begins to play a role.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing only felt that the speed of the spiritual power in his body had increased a few points faster.

As a helpless cultivator in Shuangjiao City, Xiao Qing had never tasted this kind of spiritual object, and after carefully swallowing the first bite, she put down the teacup and looked at Li Yuqian who had also put down the teacup opposite with big eyes.

"Senior ......"

On both sides of her face, she was still faint because of the accelerated operation of the spiritual power in her body, and she was about to open her mouth to express her gratitude, but Li Yuqian didn't give her a chance, and the latter directly and even abruptly asked:

"If there is a chance for you to leave Shuangjiao City and go to the eastern part of the continent, will you agree?"

"In the eastern part of the continent, as long as you do what you are asked to do, the basic cultivation resources can be guaranteed, of course, more cultivation resources still need to be fought for by yourself. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Qing never expected that the shopkeeper of the Li Merchant Bureau in front of her would suddenly propose this, which made her a little stunned for a while.

Li Yuqian, who was sitting opposite, of course, probably guessed the other party's feelings at this time, and she thought of the news that the third brother Li Yuxian had come from not long ago, asking her to pay attention to suitable age-appropriate female cultivators in Shuangjiao City.

If there is a suitable one, he will send someone from his clan to pick it up and make arrangements similar to the previous batch of female cultivators sent to Lingyun Island.

From receiving this task from the third brother Li Yuxian, Li Yuqian's first reaction was to think of Xiaoqing, who he had been in contact with for five years.

Maybe Xiaoqing is a good object.

Xiao Qing on the other side of the tea table was still stunned, but his small mouth was slightly open, expressing his surprise.

Although she is still young, and she has basically been active in the city of Shuangjiao City since she was born, she also knows that it must not be easy for someone to have a shop in Shuangjiao City, or the cultivation force behind it is not simple.

She had a very good impression of Li Yuqian, but when she thought that if she agreed to the other party like this time, she would be completely committed to the cultivation force behind the latter.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is also likely to be an opportunity for your own practice.

But when she suddenly asked this Qi Refining Female Cultivator, who was only fifteen years old, to choose a life that might plunge her body into a more stormy life, she was destined to panic.

"Senior...... Well, no, shopkeeper...... Xiao Qing ......"

"You don't have to worry, I'm just saying that, to be honest...... Whether or not you can go to the eastern part of the continent is not something I can decide, and I need to pass the news back to the mountain......"

"Hmm...... There is also an elder in Shuangjiao City who can decide, but he has been in retreat for a long time, and I don't know when he will be able to get out. ”

After a while, Xiaoqing finally calmed down, she picked up the teacup and took another sip, forcibly making herself look calmer, and then she asked tentatively:

"Is it the senior of the Imperial Spirit Sect Foundation Building Period that I also met that day?"

When Li Yuheng came here once, he happened to meet Xiaoqing who helped Li Yuqian deal with ore in the store.

That's a senior who smiles very warmly, and the shopkeeper seems to be very respectful to him, so it should be the big man behind her!

Xiaoqing thought so.

"No ......"

"It's another older person. ”

Li Yuqian drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then corrected Xiaoqing's thoughts.

Then he spoke:

"You haven't seen this elder, and I haven't seen him in five years......"

Xiaoqing held the still warm teacup with both hands, and let out a "oh...... sound" similar to a sigh

"That must be a very powerful senior. ”

When Li Yuqian heard Xiaoqing imagine this, she suddenly remembered that the ninth uncle Li Xuangang was extremely low-key in the clan and in the outside world, so she couldn't help but laugh softly:

"Uncle Nine, he may not look very powerful......."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow appeared from the door of the shop.

Li Yuqian and Xiaoqing looked back at the same time, and when the latter was stunned again, Li Yuqian had already hurriedly got up from the spot, bowed down slightly in a panic and bowed and said:

"Yuqian has seen Uncle Nine...... Uncle Nine, are you out of the customs?"

Li Xuangang, who rushed here from the gate of Shuangjiao City, heard Li Yuqian mentioning himself as soon as he entered the door.

His gaze crossed over Li Yuqian, who was saluting, and then fixed on Xiao Qing, who was beside him.

The other party's gaze was very peaceful, but when it fell on him, Xiao Qington felt as if all his thoughts and secrets had been seen through by this gaze.

When she heard Li Yuqian's previous name, she immediately realized that the monk in front of her, who was dressed in an ordinary green shirt and looked a little unremarkable, should be the elder she mentioned.

So she immediately got up and saluted Li Xuangang like Li Yuqian:

"Shuangjiao City's Qi Refining Period is scattered to cultivate Shi Xiaoqing, and I have seen my predecessors. ”
