Chapter 254: Jiao Pan Ying

"Oh?"

Li Xuanxuan glanced at the jade box, seeing that the jade box had bright magic light, it was mostly not an ordinary object, and smiled repeatedly:

"Senior is too polite..."

"Eh."

Yuan Hu-yuan opened the jade lock and lifted the jade box. Inside lay a cold, blue blade, looking like three feet to four feet. The sword body was smooth and bright, and the scale-like patterns on the sword were fine and dense, dripping with cold light. Li Xuanxuan saw at a glance that this sword was not an ordinary product, and said astringently:

"This is..."

"This sword is called Jiao Pan Ying, three feet seven inches long, refined from cold Mi stone, supplemented by snake Jiao blood, the top of the top in Qi Refining."

Yuan Hu-yuan held the box with one hand and introduced:

"This sword was once a magic tool of the Chen family of the Lengyu Gate. Later, the Lengyu Gate was destroyed, and it circulated to the hands of loose cultivators. That loose cultivator died under my Old Ancestor's seal, so it was obtained by my family."

Li Xuanxuan was not proficient in swordsmanship, but was also attracted by this sword. Yuan Hu-yuan continued:

"My Old Ancestor heard that the magic sword in Senior Tongya's hand was only barely Qi Refining, and my family is not proficient in swordsmanship, only feeling that the pearl is covered in dust and the treasure is soiled, so he asked me to send it on his behalf!"

Li Xuanxuan only said he dared not accept it. The Yuan family's gift was too precious, making him unable to accept it with a thick face, waving his hands repeatedly. Yuan Hu-yuan forcibly handed the jade box to him and said warmly:

"My clan sister is managing alone on Qing Sui Peak. The Old Ancestor is afraid that she will be bullied by others, only thinking of the Sword Immortal's prestige, relying on it for support..."

Once these words were spoken, Li Xuanxuan's heart became clear, secretly thinking:

"This sword is not given on the face of my Li family or Uncle Zhong, but on the face of Uncle Ji alone. The Yuan family has been dominant in Xun Lin Yuan for so many years, with deep foundations. Investing in a future possible Early Zifu immortal clan is naturally not a problem."

Yuan Hu-yuan saw that Li Xuanxuan was reluctant to accept it for a long time, so he stuffed the jade box into his arms and said warmly:

Like the Yuan family and the Xiao family, the so-called "standing firm" naturally does not mean having a place, but being dominant in one place, with connections in the sect and clan. Li Xuanxuan only nodded and remembered these words.

Li Xuanxuan and Yuan Hu-yuan chatted and laughed for two sentences, and the two sat down in the courtyard, serving tea. Li Xuanxuan suddenly raised his head with doubts, hesitated for a breath, and asked:

"When I Xuanxuan was young, I once heard that the Tangjin Gate invaded Xun Lin Yuan, killing countless people, but I never heard that your family had any casualties..."

"So it was this matter."

Yuan Hu-yuan paused, seemingly hesitating how to open his mouth, explaining:

Yuan Hu-yuan held the tea and replied:

"My Yuan family plants a massive amount of spiritual medicine and digs spirit stones for the Qingchi Sect every year. The invasion was the Qingchi Sect and the Tangjin Gate dividing the blood and resentment. Just kill small families and mortals, why kill me, this diligent slave?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on his face, he mocked himself, and said in a low voice:

"The Qingchi Sect has ruled for five hundred years. Where small clans plant people, where families plant medicine, where tribes are tethered, and where they practice alchemy with demons are all clearly divided. Five hundred years have only produced the Xiao family as an exception, and it was even Chi Wei who vaguely intended to indulge it to get this result... Don't underestimate the few Early Zifu cultivators on Qingchi Peak. Five hundred years, even the stupidest demons have learned to become human spirits!"

Li Xuanxuan felt secretly afraid in his heart, silent and speechless. Yuan Hu-yuan glanced at him and smiled:

"The Qingchi Sect sits at the table for a banquet, and we are the little servants kneeling on the ground, enjoying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the fat and blood of the people. To tell you the truth..."

Yuan Hu-yuan's expression became serious, and his words had a few more words of persuasion:

"This is also the meaning of my Old Ancestor... He has been nearly three hundred years old and has seen too many things. Since your clan has a Sword Immortal in the sect, why not send more disciples into the sect? What your clan needs to do is to squeeze into the seat at the foot of Qingchi, not into the bowl on the Qingchi table. Foundation Establishment is just the first step..."

Li Xuanxuan pondered for a breath, replied somewhat difficultly, and sighed:

"Junior has been taught..."

Yuan Hu-yuan then nodded slowly, drank the tea in the cup, and replied:

He stained his fingers with tea, opened his mouth while smiling, and drew lightly on the table inadvertently, stood up, arched his hands lightly, and smiled:

"Today's words are very happy, please Fellow Daoist convey them to Senior Tongya one by one. Hu-yuan still needs to go to the Xiao family, so I won't stay long!"

Li Xuanxuan hurriedly stood up, sent him out of the array, and returned to the courtyard thoughtfully, but saw a person sitting quietly on the head, his lapels smoothed straight, sitting upright, holding the cold and bright Jiao Pan Ying in his hand and looking at it carefully. Li Xuanxuan bowed and said respectfully:

"Uncle Zhong!"

"Hmm."

Li Tongya stared at the fine and dense scale patterns, his fingers rubbing lightly, and a bright white sword energy lit up on the sword. Li Tongya nodded and opened his mouth:

"It is indeed a good sword."

Li Xuanxuan saw Li Tongya's appearance, I am afraid that Yuan Hu-yuan's words Li Tongya had already heard from the side, only standing arched, and saw Li Tongya put the Jiao Pan Ying into the jade box. Li Xuanxuan whispered:

"Uncle Zhong, the Yuan family's meaning is... if you want to truly survive at the foot of the Qingchi Sect, I am afraid you still have to cling to the various peaks. In the sect, not to mention having a peak master, you must also have one or two eyes and throats. There must be output valued by the Qingchi Sect in the family, so that you will not be easily manipulated at any time..."

Li Tongya nodded noncommittally and replied:

"On the surface, Chijing is still in the Southern Border. Except for a few Early Zifu cultivators, not many people know. After a few years, pick a mediocre one from the Xiyue generation and send it over first."

"Yes!"

Li Xuanxuan responded. Li Tongya walked down two steps, stopped at the table of Yuan Hu-yuan, looked at the faint water stain, and ordered:

"That Ding Xiding is originally well-intentioned. You send some return gifts to send him back. My family will not move him, but don't get too close. Avoid suspicion, so as not to make others unhappy."

Li Tongya looked up at Li Xuanxuan and shook his head:

"The Yuan family is also cautious, afraid that I am someone who doesn't know the times, so they specially came to exhort."

Li Xuanxuan nodded and took the conversation:

"The Yuan family looks like they don't know the inside story of the Southern Border, thinking that Uncle Ji has hope for Early Zifu outside, and even has some fear of my family. The Ding family occupies the entrance, which is a buffer for the three of us. Nephew will not touch it."

"Just know it."

Li Tongya nodded. He is now a Foundation Establishment immortal cultivator. Once in seclusion, it will be several years. If these things are not clear, let the descendants mess around, it will not be a good thing when he comes out of seclusion and the four borders are enemies. He has always been cautious, so he said a few more words.

"The news of my Foundation Establishment will spread. After a few years, when paying tribute, my Li family will be a family. According to the Yuan family's meaning, the Qingchi Sect's exploitation of families will probably be more serious, much fiercer than those small families. Take advantage of these few years to measure the spiritual fields and arrange the manpower."

"Yes!"

Li Xuanxuan responded and replied:
