Chapter 647: Shifting Contradictions

So although Lin Zhangqing's mood was a bit bad, he still controlled his emotions.

He said: "Understood! I'll go and meet him, you tell your sister and the others not to come out!"

After speaking, he got up and walked toward the edge of the valley!

Before long, he arrived at the edge of the formation. After performing a spell, a crack opened on the formation barrier! Lin Zhangqing directly took the initiative: "This Senior Brother, you triggered the formation of my cave abode, is there anything?"

The long-faced Wei Changgeng hurriedly said with a full face of smiles: "Sorry to disturb you, Junior Brother! I am Wei Changgeng, and I am familiar with Junior Disciple Li Xiangting who used to live here.

It's been a while since I saw her. I came specifically to visit her, please make it convenient for me, Junior Brother! My father is Wei Qingdan, a Fourth-Stage Alchemist of Pill Cauldron Peak. If Junior Brother needs any pills in the future, just come to me, I will definitely be able to get them for you!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and nodded: "Oh! So you are the famous Senior Brother Wei! I heard your great name from Senior Brother Zhao at the Affairs Hall long ago!

I have already understood your purpose, Senior Brother, but after I came out just now, I already asked about Li Xiangting's intention, and she doesn't have the intention to see you.

So I'm sorry, I can't help you, Senior Brother Wei, please return!"

Wei Changgeng heard this and couldn't help but shout: "That's impossible! When I met her last month, she was fine, how could she suddenly not see me! I don't believe your words, let her come out herself and make it clear to me face to face!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing was too lazy to deal with him anymore and said directly: "Senior Brother Wei, you don't have to waste your effort here! Junior Uncle Ran Ming should have already told Li Xiangting about your background, so how could she dare to see you!

Unless she really doesn't want to live anymore and wants to be sucked dry by you as a cauldron, but I believe she couldn't be so stupid! So in the future, you don't have to come to this place again! If you have any problems, go find Junior Uncle Ran Ming, don't come here to disturb my cultivation anymore!"

After speaking, without waiting for Wei Changgeng to react, he directly closed the crack on the formation barrier.

Standing inside the formation, watching Wei Changgeng in Cuiyun Valley outside, wildly smashing the formation barrier with his fists.

Lin Zhangqing secretly laughed; let him smash it however he wanted. This formation was directly connected to the spirit vein, as long as it wasn't broken in one go.

Spiritual energy would be supplied continuously, so it didn't waste Lin Zhangqing's spirit stones at all, so he didn't care.

And the old drunkard and that one surnamed Zhao had been calculating him, so he directly shifted the contradiction to their side.

Let them dog-eat-dog, so he wouldn't get into trouble! Sure enough, after a while, Wei Changgeng saw that still no one paid attention to him, so he left indignantly! As for whether he dared to go find the old drunkard to settle the score, that was none of Lin Zhangqing's business! When he returned to the courtyard, the Li family of three were all standing at the door to welcome him.

Lin Zhangqing also knew that what they were most worried about now was whether he could protect them.

So he said directly: "It's fine, that Wei Changgeng has already been sent away by me! He shouldn't come again in a short time! And, after the new courtyard is built, I will replace Cuiyun Valley with a top-notch Third-Stage formation.

So he shouldn't have the ability to break in, you can just cultivate with peace of mind here in the future!"

The Li family of three were very excited after hearing this and thanked him one after another, especially Li Qinchuan, who was so excited that his face turned bright red and he was extremely grateful to Lin Zhangqing!

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't stay with them for long. After chatting for a few sentences, he returned to his room. In fact, he had already started refining that Third-Stage magical treasure, the Thunder Golden Light Shield, these past two days!

However, although he had already sent the magical treasure into the thunder aperture through the Treasure Storage Secret Art, he hadn't completed the refining yet.

So Lin Zhangqing mobilized the thunder mana in each aperture whenever he had time these past two days to refine this magical treasure.

Fortunately, he estimated that in about seven or eight days, he would be able to use it freely, which would greatly compensate for his lack of defensive power! After all, magical treasures and spiritual artifacts were different; they wouldn't be destroyed so easily, and the longer they were nurtured, the greater the power of the magical treasure would be!

Just like this, another two days passed, and the new courtyard was finally all built. The two thousand sect contribution points were paid by Lin Zhangqing first! Originally, Murong Qingyan wanted to pay Lin Zhangqing spirit stones, but was refused by him; he knew they shouldn't have many savings.

So he suggested that this courtyard be paid for by him for half, and the remaining half be paid back by the Li family of three every year, to be paid off in ten years! Lin Zhangqing knew that the Li family's real difficulties were still ahead!

Although Murong Qingyan looked very young and beautiful, her actual age should already be around forty.

But she had only just entered the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and with her spirit root aptitude, normally, she would need at least five or six years to enter the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

To cultivate to the Qi Refining Great Perfection, she would need at least another seven or eight years, so even if everything went smoothly, Murong Qingyan would only have one chance to impact the Foundation Establishment stage.

And she also had to prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill and other pills, which was at least an expenditure of twenty or thirty thousand spirit stones.

And they also needed pills to support their cultivation on weekdays, which was another not-so-small expense.

Just relying on the sixty percent output of Cuiyun Valley, it was estimated that it could only barely maintain their cultivation.

Most importantly, there were Li Qinchuan and Li Xiangting next, but their spirit roots were even worse, so needless to say, they needed even more cultivation resources.

So Lin Zhangqing was quite sympathetic to them, but that didn't mean he would help them unconditionally.

It could only be said that he would look at the performance of the three of them in the future; if they satisfied him, helping them out was not impossible! But all of this had to be on the premise of not hindering Lin Zhangqing, only then would he possibly extend a helping hand!

After sending away all the outsiders, Lin Zhangqing summoned the Li family of three and let them dismantle the Second-Stage formation here first.

However, this formation was not arranged by them, but by Li Qinchuan's late father.

So it wasted some time when dismantling it.

By the time Lin Zhangqing laid out the Third-Stage Nine Palace Yuan Shen Array, the sky was already dark!

But the effect of this great array was very good.

When the formation was activated, from the outside, Cuiyun Valley and the three small mountains around it all disappeared! (End of chapter)
