The elder of the Li clan took Li Yu to the Xiaoquan Inn in Wanbaowu with a solemn expression, and several other clansmen followed behind with several gorgeous jade boxes in their hands. According to the news found by the Li family, after the black-clothed Zhuji monk came to Wanbaowu, he lived in Wanbaowu, the best babbling inn in the town.

There are not many guests in the Flowing Spring Inn on weekdays, except for the local monks who occasionally come to drink and gather after sunset, the others are monks from other places who pass through this place and will stay at this inn temporarily.

However, the inn seems to be a little busy today.

A shopkeeper dressed in a cloth shirt was greeting guests at the door, and when he saw Elder Li and Li Yu coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, "Elder Li, Miss Li, you two have free time today! The store has just arrived from Yinsha River to some rare river fish and shellfish, fresh aura, the small one will be prepared by the chef immediately, and it will be presented to the two of you." ”

The shopkeepers live in a small town, and almost all the monks of various families in the town recognize them. However, a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator like Elder Li who had a status in a medium-sized family was rarely seen on weekdays.

The elder of the Li clan just snorted lightly and walked into the lobby of the inn with his hands in his hands.

At this time, there were no less than 100 monks in the Luquan Inn, and more than a dozen tables of delicacies and wine banquets were set up, and the monks gathered together to talk about something, which was extremely lively.

The elder of the Li clan was slightly stunned when he entered the hall, there were dozens of large and small families in Wanbaowu, and almost all of these monks in front of him were family monks he was very familiar with.

The elder of the Li clan chuckled in his heart, and he understood in an instant.

Most of these families had the same purpose as him, and when they learned that there was a foundation monk from the town who planned to live in seclusion here for a long time, they hurried to woo the black-clothed foundation monk. Next year, the various families of Wanbaowu will redistribute the section of the Yinsha River through a competition. If he can add this foundation building monk into his family and fight on behalf of the family, the impact on the long-term interests of the family is extraordinary.

Of course, usually only small families with weak strength would consider doing this. After all, an outsider is an outsider, which will bring many unforeseen hidden dangers, ranging from family disputes to family strife, or the family being usurped by a different surname. The big family has its own cultivated foundation building monks, and it is rare to attract unfamiliar monks into the family.

The families of the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm are roughly divided into four grades.

The weakest is the small family, and there are only a small number of Qi cultivation stage cultivators in the family. If you can recruit a foundation building cultivator into the family, the strength of the family can immediately increase several times. The middle family has a foundation building monk and dozens or more Qi cultivation stage monks. Because it is extremely difficult to cultivate a foundation building monk, once the foundation building monk in the clan dies, the middle family can easily decline into a small family. 》// (lvex) The stronger ones are the big families, and there are often a few foundation building monks and hundreds of Qi cultivation period monks in the clan. Because there are several foundation building monks in the family, it is difficult for them to die at the same time, and such a family can maintain the status of a large clan for a long time.

As for the families with Jindan monks, they are all wealthy families, and they are qualified to establish their own immortal cultivation sect and become a powerful family force in the Yunzhou immortal cultivation world. Possessing the Jindan Monk is a dream goal for almost all families, large and small.

Like the Li family, it used to be a medium-sized family in Wanbaowu, and there was a family head in the foundation building period in the clan who supported the strength of the entire family. However, the head of the family died in an accident, and the strength of the Li family immediately shrank significantly, and the middle family quickly declined into a small family.

For the sake of the future of the entire family, the elder Li personally came to the Luquan Inn with a heavy gift to see if he could recruit the black-clothed foundation monk to join the Li family and save the family's decline.

"Oh, Brother Li, you're here too!"

Immediately, several old men who knew each other greeted the old man of the Li clan. ..., "Brother Liu, Brother Shen, how come you virtuous brothers happen to be here today?"

"Haha, we old friends haven't been together for a long time, and we all happened to be here today, so I happened to come over to talk about it. ”

The old men responded with a smile and greeted the elder of the Li clan.

Li Yu understood what the elder Li meant, she quietly retreated, took a few clansmen, and called the shopkeeper to go to the inn to find the mysterious foreign black-clothed monk.

The shopkeeper couldn't afford to offend these family monks in the town, so he could only take Li Yu and them to a chic small courtyard in the backyard of the inn. He was a little apprehensive in his heart, in this short half a day, many monks in the town had come to the inn to look for the black-clothed monk, but it was better not to cause any trouble to the inn.

"Immortal Chief, Miss Li of the Li family has come to ask for a meeting. ”

The shopkeeper came to the courtyard where Ye Chen lived, but did not go in, and reported respectfully to the courtyard.

"What?"

In a pavilion in the courtyard, a low, old and hoarse voice came out.

The shopkeeper glanced at Li Yu's face.

"Senior, the little woman Li Yu asks to see, there is something important to discuss with the senior, can you talk in detail in person?"

Li Yu said in a crisp voice.

There was silence in the pavilion for a long time, and finally a voice came out, "Come in." ”

Li Yulian stepped into the living room of the pavilion.

In the hall of the pavilion, a monk dressed in black and hated was sitting on the main seat of the living room, looking at Li Yu and the others coldly.

Several members of the Li family also followed Li Yu in.

Li Yu and the Li family were also looking at Ye Chen.

It's a pity that Ye Chen was completely covered by a black suit and a hat, and he couldn't see Ye Chen's appearance.

Li Yu was slightly disappointed.

"This is a gift from the Li family to the seniors. Three strains of 400-year-old fourth-order spirit snow ginseng are quite beneficial to cultivation. A fourth-order mirage bead, a water-based spiritual treasure, is a mirage produced at the bottom of the Yinsha River, which is quite rare. A small bow is not a tribute, and the seniors are invited to smile. ”

Li Yu raised his hand slightly and said with a bit of humility.

The Li family hurriedly placed a few gifts on the table in the living room and opened them for Ye Chen to see.

For a medium-sized family that was declining day by day, it was already extremely sincere to take out three fourth-order elixirs and one fourth-order spirit treasure for a meeting gift. After all, ordinary families are not as wealthy as those wealthy immortal families, and they have a lot of spiritual things.

Ye Chen glanced at the gifts on the table and was indifferent. This "generous gift" was absolutely enough for an ordinary foundation building monk, but it was of almost no use to him. Also, he didn't know what Li Yu wanted to do with a generous gift.

"Miss Li is here, I don't know why?"

Ye Chen was a little puzzled, and still deliberately asked in an extremely old and hoarse voice. He practiced in seclusion here, not wanting to expose his deeds to the outside world, so naturally he avoided revealing any of his characteristics as much as possible.

"The little woman came a little presumptuous on this trip, and she came to ask her predecessors if they were willing to stay in the Li family in Wanbaowu, marry a wife, have children, and inherit their descendants? The Li family is also a medium-sized family in Wanbaowu, although it is not as strong as the financial resources of the big family, but it is much stronger than the small family. ”

Li Yu directly explained his intentions, his expression was as usual, and he paused and said, "If the seniors are willing to join the Li family, after we have children, the seniors can inherit the position of the head of the Li family." Sacrificing herself for the Li family, she had long been mentally prepared for this fate. The marriage of the children of most families in Wanbaowu is never carried out according to their own wishes.

"Marriage? If Miss Li comes for this matter, she can go back. ”

Ye Chen was a little strange, shook his head indifferently, and refused directly without thinking about it. If it is another transaction, it can be discussed, but there is no room for negotiation in this matter. At most, he would leave after a year and a half of seclusion and cultivation here, and after a few years, he would return to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, and it would be impossible for him to stay here for a long time. ..., Li Yu's originally somewhat proud face suddenly changed.

"Senior, my young lady is also one of the best women in Wanbaowu, in terms of appearance, there are only a handful, in terms of cultivation, she cultivated to the sixth layer of the Qi training period when she was only nineteen, and her cultivation talent is excellent, and there are many families who have proposed to the Li family in recent years. If it weren't for the fact that the young lady wanted to keep the Li family's family business, how could she easily agree to come and talk to her seniors about marriage!"

"Although my young lady is a Qi cultivation period cultivator, she still has the hope of cultivating to the foundation building stage within one or two decades, is she not worthy of her predecessors?"

Several clansmen of the Li family were a little angry, even if Ye Chen was a foundation building cultivator, they couldn't help but interject and say a few words.

"Alright, let's go!"

Li Yufen's face was difficult to see, and he said angrily.

She didn't have much willingness, but in order to avoid the decline of the family, she came at the request of the elder of the big clan. Listening to the old voice of this black-clothed monk, most of them were seventy or eighty, and I am afraid that it took half a lifetime of hardship to cultivate to the early stage of foundation building. This black-clothed Zhuji monk wore a hat and couldn't see his appearance, and most of his appearance was ugly and he didn't dare to see people.

Regardless of the girl's shyness, she took the initiative to come to the door to talk about family affairs. The blackfriar was still unhappy, and looked like he was thousands of miles away.

Li Yu rushed out of the courtyard with the Li family's popularity.

"Miss, although there are often monks from all over the world in Wanbaowu, there are very few monks who are willing to stay in Wanbaowu for a long time. We can't recruit this foundation building senior to join the family, and then it will be extremely difficult to find other foundation building monks. Half a year later, Wanbaowu fought for the section of the Yinsha River, and none of our Li family's foundation-building monks could participate in the battle. After losing the section of the Yinsha River half a year later, the decline of the Li family will be inevitable, and sooner or later it will be annexed by other Wanbaowu families. ”

One of the clansmen worried.

Li Yu was angry, his chest rose and fell, but his expression was a little dazed. Yes, I'm angry now, but what will I do in half a year

Another restaurant hundreds of zhang away from the Murmuring Spring Inn, you can vaguely see the movement of the Murmuring Spring Inn.

More than a dozen green-shirted Qi cultivation monks were watching the Flowing Spring Inn.

"Big brother, Miss Li went to find the black-clothed foundation building monk, now the Li family is down, and without the foundation building monk, it will soon be unable to hold on. She was in such a hurry, could it be that she wanted the black-clothed monk to join their Li family and represent their Li family to participate in the Yinsha River competition half a year later?"

"I think that's probably the case! According to the rules of our Wanbaowu, outsiders are not allowed to participate in the competition. Except for marriage, an outsider can't help the Li family. ”

The green-shirted monks whispered.

"Hmph, my Wang family has proposed marriage to the Li family many times, but she ignored it! Today, she took the initiative to come to find the black-clothed Zhuji monk. This little slut, after a year and a half, my Wang family annexed the Li family, and I will clean her up. ”

A young man in fancy clothes in the middle of the crowd had a pale face, clenched his right fist, and sparked jealousy in his gaze when he looked at the Flowing Spring Inn. "This black-clothed monk must be a lonely ghost cultivator, and I don't know where he came from, but he didn't know how to come to Wanbaowu to retreat! Our Wang family has several foundation-building monks, so I don't believe that he can turn the sky with a foreign monk. ”

"Yes, big brother!" ...... ，
