In a side room in the Li family's business bureau, Li Xuangang sat on a wooden chair, and Li Yuqian stood in front of him honestly.

The latter lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, completely without the eccentricity of the past, and without the mystery and atmosphere in front of Shi Xiaoqing.

Li Xuangang sat casually, looking at Li Yuqian's body.

After a while, just when Li Yuqian was guessing about the cultivation realm of the ninth uncle after this time, Li Xuangang spoke.

"What's going on with that loose cultivator?"

Hearing this question, Li Yuqian, who lowered her head, was stunned for a moment, but then immediately adjusted her thoughts, raised her head to look at Li Xuangang in front of her, and replied 1510:

The third brother sent a message, saying that the family industry has invested more in recent years. ”

Inside, in addition to the fifth and sixth side peaks of Taiqiu Mountain under development, there are Dan Peak, Linghu Peak, Qi Peak, and Puppet Peak continue to build. ”

"In addition, the family is also sending people to Lingshan Gathering Point and Lingyun Island in the Wanxing Islands, in order to increase the radiation influence of these two strongholds to the surrounding forces, and strengthen the control of the surrounding family industries. ”

"In addition to these two major aspects, because of the large number of resources brought back by the patriarch from the Northern Immortal Yuan Sect last time, after Uncle Changji went out of the customs and announced a breakthrough to the peak of foundation building, the allocation of these resources has also officially begun, and the family has increased personnel investment in Tianhefang City, treasure ships, major caravans, and those veins outside. ”

"Because of the shortage of manpower in the clan, Uncle Qing Shui has sent back a lot of well-conditioned female cultivators of the opposite sex from Lingyun Island, and placed them in the major side peaks, and they will be deployed by Uncle Changji at any time to arrange family tasks. ”

"Shi Xiaoqing is the first monk I have found to be sent to Lingyun Island after receiving the mission news from my third brother. However, I am only responsible for proposing candidates, and the third brother will send someone to be responsible for specific matters......"

Speaking of this, Li Xuangang suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Li Yuqian's continuation, he directly ignored the irrelevant Shi Xiaoqing, and instead noticed a detail in Li Yuqian's large paragraph.

Li Xuangang: "The eighth uncle has already been out of the customs?"

Li Yuqian knew that the time of Uncle Jiu's retreat was after the time of Uncle Changji's retreat, and the time of leaving the retreat was also two years later, so she didn't know about it.

"Uncle Jiu, two years ago, Uncle Changji had successfully broken through the realm and reached the peak of foundation building, and the patriarch specially went out for this purpose to inform the whole clan that the family had another monk who had reached the peak of foundation building since he achieved Jindan. ”

Li Xuangang put his hand on the handle of the wooden chair, listening to Li Yuqian's words, while thinking about what major changes had taken place in the family during the five years of his retreat.

In fact, most of them he himself guessed that after the fifth uncle of the family entered the Jindan realm, with the stability of his realm, the expansion of the family outside was inevitable.

As for the fact that the eighth uncle Li Changji successfully broke through to the peak realm of foundation building two years ago, Li Xuangang also had a premonition.

Li Changji was immersed in the late stage of foundation building longer than Li Xuangang, and when he broke through the realm, he should have also received some help from his fifth uncle, Li Changqing.

As the helmsman of the Jindan family, the fifth uncle Li Changqing would not accept that he was below him, and there was no one in the family who was at the peak of the foundation building realm.

Of course, the eighth uncle Li Changji will also not allow this to happen.

A cultivation force that has only recently been newly promoted to the ranks of the Jindan level, the stability of its continued development, in addition to the Jindan stage monks in the Kai clan, is actually more important is the cultivation of the clan in the foundation building period, these are the backbone of the family's complete transformation from the foundation building level cultivation force to the Jindan level cultivation force.

As the last realm of the foundation building period, the clansmen who have this realm, Taiqiu Mountain not only ensures the effective implementation of some family tasks internally, but also represents that their family has the confidence to continue the cultivation power of the Jindan period.

The Li family in Taiqiu Mountain is not just because of the talent of a certain clan, but also brings short-lived glory to the family.

Li Xuangang knew that in addition to the foundation building period families in the Kaitianhe region, in the entire area of influence of the Ghoul Sect, there must be many Jindan stage cultivation forces staring at Taiqiu Mountain.

Once the fifth uncle makes any mistakes after that, and there is no next clansman in the family who has the peak realm of the foundation building period and may enter the Jindan realm at any time, then these cultivation forces will definitely open their fangs and claws against Taiqiu Mountain without any scruples.

"Uncle Nine. ”

Li Yuqian spoke.

"Huh?"

Li Xuangang's eyes sank in response.

"Uncle Nine is out of the customs this time, so what about your cultivation?"

Li Xuangang naturally knew what Li Yuqian wanted to ask, and he replied lightly:

"Build the pinnacle of the foundation. ”

"Ah......h

Although Li Yuqian had long known that the ninth uncle who had gone out of the customs this time was very likely to have made a breakthrough in cultivation, but at this time, the conjecture was confirmed by the latter himself, she still couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the expression on her face also changed, both joy and surprise.

The Xuanzi generation where the ninth uncle is located is recognized as the most talented generation in the clan, in addition to the ninth uncle Li Xuangang, there are three people in the Xuanzi generation who have successfully built the foundation.

They are the twelfth uncle Li Xuanyu, the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan, and the fifteenth uncle Li Xuanshan.

Moreover, according to the elders of the clan, among the clan uncles of the Xuanzi generation, the cultivation talent of the ninth uncle Li Xuangang is not the best, the second uncle Li Xuantian, who he has never seen at all, and the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan, who he has only seen a few times, the cultivation talent of the two of them is even more terrifying than that of the ninth uncle.

It's just that the second uncle Li Xuantian left the family to go out to practice too early, and he was still cultivating in the Qi refining period at that time, and the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan, who was rumored to have been sent by the patriarch to carry out a mission and never returned, was still in the late stage of foundation building before leaving.

The second uncle's side of the unknown is too big, Li Yuqian doesn't dare to speculate, but what she knows is that the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan did enter the late stage of foundation building earlier than the ninth uncle.

"I don't know if the thirteenth uncle of the last realm in the foundation building period has successfully broken through?"

But in any case, before the second uncle Li Xuantian and the thirteenth uncle Li Xuanyuan returned to the family, the ninth uncle Li Xuangang was indeed known to the clan, and now he was the second peak monk in the foundation building period in the family, and he was also the first clan uncle among the Xuanzi clan to enter this realm.

Li Yuqian could already imagine what the reaction would be when he transmitted the news that Uncle Nine had also broken through to the pinnacle of foundation building back to Taiqiu Mountain.

It's definitely boiling again!

secretly guessed like this, and laughed unconsciously.

And Li Xuangang, who is still sitting, does not have such a similar feeling as Li Yuqian, for him, he has had a lot of contact with his second brother Li Xuantian since he was a child, and although the thirteenth brother is a little withdrawn, he has met him many times, so he is very clear and sure that if the two of them have no accidents, they should have entered the peak realm of foundation building earlier than themselves.

didn't give Li Yuqian time to continue his reverie, Li Xuangang directly opened his mouth and continued the topic at the beginning.

"Tell me about the monk. ”

......

......

The situation of Shi Xiaoqing in Shuangjiao City is not complicated, and it is even a little too simple, since Li Yuqian received the task of the third brother Li Yuxian, she consciously began to understand Shi Xiaoqing's situation.

Over the course of five years, it has been enough for her to know many things, intentionally or unintentionally.

Shi Xiaoqing's father was also a loose cultivator in Shuangjiao City, and like most of the scattered cultivators on the Chaoyang Continent, by the time he fell, his cultivation had still not broken through the Qi refining period.

According to Shi Xiaoqing's own account, before her father entered the Hengduan Mountain Range for the last time, she had tried to break through the ninth layer of qi refining once, but failed.

She hasn't seen him since.

She waited alone in the low-level cave mansion rented by her father outside the city for a long time, until a monk from the Imperial Spirit Sect came to demand the payment of the spirit stone rented from the cave mansion, and she realized that she might not be able to wait for her father back.

She was nine years old that year, and she had just embarked on the path of cultivation and cultivated to the first level of Qi refining.

Since then, she has wandered in and around Shuangjiao City, and has spent two years with difficulty and luck.

This situation continued until she stepped into the newly opened Li Merchant Office with two pieces of Tuyin potatoes that no one wanted.

In the next five years, relying on Li Yuqian's protection, she more or less obtained some spirit stones, and she was barely able to maintain her cultivation.

Li Yuqian spoke slowly, without any emotion, just objectively describing what she knew.

At the end, Li Xuangang nodded, indicating that he knew.

Immediately, he waved his hand to open the door of the side room, and motioned for Shi Xiaoqing, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, to come in.

As he walked cautiously forward, he looked at the young man sitting on a wooden chair in the side room.

Shi Xiaoqing knew that although the other party looked no different from the ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators she had met in Shuangjiao City, he was actually a big person who could really decide her fate, and the fate here was what she wanted whether it was her wish or not.

didn't dare to look more, stopped next to Li Yuqian, and then bowed down and bowed to Li Xuangang.

"I've seen my seniors. ”

Li Xuangang didn't speak, but Li Yuqian next to him motioned for Shi Xiaoqing to get up and gave her a kind smile.

Responding with grateful eyes, Shi Xiaoqing relaxed, and at this time, Li Xuangang on the wooden chair also began to speak.

The sound of yoyo kept ringing in his ears, and Shi Xiaoqing felt that his mind had become blurry, a bit like the state when he was asleep.

In this state, Shi Xiaoqing felt that he was talking, but after feeling it carefully, it seemed that he didn't say anything.

I don't know how long it took, a flat voice came:

"Alright, you go down!"

At this time, Shi Xiaoqing suddenly regained her clarity, in the time that had passed just now, she didn't know what had happened, she only knew that she was called in by the senior, and now she was calling herself out.

She didn't dare to disobey, so she had just come to her senses, and she gave up and left the side room again.

After exiting the door of the side room, he hesitated for a moment, not daring to stay any longer, so he returned to the lobby of the store.

But because she didn't know what she had just said, she didn't dare to leave just like that, so she waited in the lobby, ready to wait for the conversation inside to be over, and see what the shopkeeper had arranged for her.

For Li Yuqian, who has always been kind, Shi Xiaoqing still has a very good impression.

So she made a decision, and she stood upright, not sitting down at the tea table before.

......

......

In the side room, Li Xuangang withdrew his divine sense from Shi Xiaoqing, who was standing in the lobby, and then waved his hand to reclose the door of the side room.

He looked at Li Yuqian and said:

"There is nothing wrong with what you said earlier, there should be no problem with her background, people...... It's also quite smart. ”

Li Yuqian's eyes lit up, she knew that Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang had just used a method similar to a simple ecstasy against Shi Xiaoqing, and Shi Xiaoqing's current cultivation would definitely not be able to resist, so what she said was true, and the content was the same as what she had told Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang before.

Li Yuqian showed a smile on her face, because she regarded this sentence as Uncle Jiu's affirmation of her own ability, after all, this was the first candidate she was going to report to the family, and she couldn't make a mistake in her life experience at the first mission.

But before she had time to be happy, Li Xuangang continued to speak:

"It's just that I'm too old, it's a pity......"

The female cultivators sent by the Li family to Lingyun Island are basically girls, because girls are better shaped.

And Li Yuqian naturally knew this, her expression darkened slightly, and then she was ready to say something.

"But this matter is not in charge of me, since Yuxian has asked you to be in charge of this matter, then you can also report it to see if you can send it to Lingyun Island, and you will have your own Eighth Uncle and Yuxian to make a decision. ”

Li Yuqian raised her head suddenly, her eyes regained color, and she replied:

"That Yuqian knows, please rest assured Uncle Jiu. ”

Li Xuangang nodded and got up from the wooden chair.

Shi Xiaoqing's matter was just a trivial matter for him, and at this time, he mentioned it by the way, and he didn't plan to interfere.

So after getting closer to Li Yuqian, he opened his mouth to ask about the purpose of his trip.

"The Ziyuan Begonia that you were looking for before...... How's it going?"
