Chapter 436

Feiluoya drove the wind away, leaving everyone a light back. Li Qinghong brushed him off. Li Ximing and several Foundation Establishment came over to fill the facade, and each touched their heads and dispersed.

Li Qinghong came back to her senses, leaving only that hook snake. She looked at Li Wushao, but saw his complexion was even uglier than the previous days, and the wound on the tail hook had not healed for a long time, and asked:

"Is the Daoist friend's injury serious?"

Li Wushao's tail hook was brushed by that gray-red flame, and it was still aching faintly. This pain was very peculiar, not only in the body, but also in the spiritual sense, repeating and aching from time to time. Li Wushao was tortured with an ugly complexion.

Li Qinghong saw it in her eyes and cared about it. Li Wushao waved his hand and answered:

"Thank you for your concern, lord... This fire should be combined fire, combining heart and body, combining nature and spirit, burning body and hurting nature, burning life and removing consciousness, only quiet recuperation is enough."

His complexion was pale, he refused the elixir handed over by Li Qinghong, and said politely:

"For this kind of divine fire, ordinary elixirs are useless. When I was in the East Sea, many dragon attributes wanted to eat me. They practiced combined water, which is similar to combined fire. Even a little bit of it will slowly deteriorate... I have long been used to it, and have some experience in dealing with it, so don't worry."

Li Wushao's complexion was ugly, and he had to go down to heal his injuries, leaving Li Qinghong alone to drive the lightning down.

"Combined water... combined fire... Taiyin... Taiyang... indeed one-to-one correspondence."

Li Qinghong nodded thoughtfully. Many fruit positions in golden nature correspond one-to-one, and there are traces to follow. She didn't know which lightning nature her 【Xuanlei Bo】 was, which raised a trace of curiosity in her:

"Xuanlei? Or the Xiao Lightning sought..."

Throwing these thoughts out of her mind, Li Qinghong continued to go down to practice in closed-door cultivation.

After a small half-month, Feiluoya's subordinate Zhu Xian had not arrived yet, but a few people finally flew from the sky, dressed differently, dusty, and the leader was Li Xuanxuan, pinching his beard, driving the wind from afar.

"Granduncle!"

Li Xijun drove the wind to welcome him. Li Xuanxuan nodded slightly, and Chen Donghe, An Jiyan, and others behind him bowed. Li Xuanxuan looked in a good mood and said hoarsely:

"The old man went to the 【Daxiu Kui Guan】, and indeed gained a lot of horizons. The seventy-two orthodoxies under the temple, all kinds of ancient Dharma techniques and ancient witchcraft, are completely different from today's techniques."

He took out a few talismans from the storage bag, looking gray, with a few talisman patterns drawn on them with white notes. Li Xuanxuan said with satisfaction:

"These are all ancient Dharma techniques, condensing talisman water, relieving pain and stopping disease... can be taught to Fetal Breath cultivators, and it is very good for treating diseases for the common people."

Saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and the crowd dispersed. Li Xijun pulled him down. Only then did the old man land, still talking about the use of the talismans in his hand, smiling.

Li Xijun watched the old eyes sweep over, saw the white hemp all over the mountain, the joy for a moment appeared clean, a touch of horror emerged, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately fell silent.

He said nothing, followed Li Xijun to the tomb, sat on the ground, and muttered to himself:

"That's right, it's about time... can hold on for so many years..."

He stared left and right with old eyes. On the right was the tombstone of his eldest son Li Yuanxiu, and on the left was his youngest son Li Yuanping. One new and one old, both very high. Li Xuanxuan sat down, and the tombstone was still a head higher than him.

Li Xijun retreated silently, retreating to the end of the mountain road, and looked back.

The old man was hunched between the two tombstones, his legs placed in a patch of weeds, his hand still pinching the talisman without knowing it, his eyes blank, staring blankly at the sky, looking very small.

Li Xijun couldn't bear to look again, lowered his head and went out. Chen Donghe led a person up, wearing a khaki Daoist robe, with a rattan whip tied around his waist. Chen Donghe said softly:

"This is Senior Zhu Xian."

Li Xijun hurriedly cheered up. Although the scene just now was still reflected in his memory, he had no time to be sad, squeezed out a smile, and said softly:

"Seen the senior."

Zhu Xian was Feiluoya's subordinate, with the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The orthodoxy he practiced was too poor. Although he condensed the immortal foundation, he was not as good as Li Wushao who had no tail hook at the beginning. What he practiced was 【Qingyuan Wind】 made of small clear spirit Qi, which was very ordinary.

Although his cultivation was much higher than Li Xijun's, he didn't dare to put on airs in front of Li Xijun, just said softly:

"My senior brother sent me to hand over the territory."

Feiluoya and the two had quite a lot of territory under their hands. Some barren edges and corners were gone, and the actual area was much larger than East Shanyue. Li Xijun watched him take out the map, Zhu Xian said:

"In these ten years, there are already more than 50,000 people in my territory..."

Li Xijun was choked. In the same territory, his own East Shanyue had hundreds of thousands of people. With so few people, it was normal to have no harvest.

Looking at the map, he estimated slightly and said softly:

"In this territory of the senior, I intend to set up thirty towns, look at the spiritual veins and earth veins on the territory, set up one or two immortal mountains, set up a prefecture, and rule 300,000 people."

"There are two large plains here, which can be used to build large towns... set up villages according to the two rivers and migrate over."

Li Xijun talked for a while before and after. Zhu Xian only nodded, unable to tell good from bad, and couldn't understand many things, only having the share of nodding with a stiff scalp.

By the time Li Xijun arranged the matters before and after, how could it be considered a discussion? Zhu Xian only had one sentence:

"How much profit can there be?"

Li Xijun estimated:

"As long as seven or eight years pass, there can be a profit of twenty or thirty spirit stones every year, and my family takes 40%."

Zhu Xian calculated and had already met Feiluoya's requirements, so he relaxed and waved his hand:

"Then let's do it this way!"

Li Xijun then invited Li Xicheng up to discuss carefully. Zhu Xian had already been unable to sit still, drove the wind away to report. Li Xijun asked:

"Brother, how many savings does the family have now?"

Li Xicheng said:

"Now there is an income of more than sixty pieces every year. Excluding the offerings, less than one hundred pieces can be saved in five years. Plus the 【Wanling Flower】 sold by Han Shizhen of the Han family, forty pieces were obtained. There can be savings of one hundred and thirty pieces every five years."

"There has been no major expenditure in these ten years. Excluding the dozens of pieces spent, there are still about two hundred pieces."

"Two hundred pieces, it is enough to arrange two Qi Refining formations... not to mention that it is established for Feiluoya, and we can knock some things out of his place."

Li Xijun had certainty in his heart, nodded, and said softly:

"The expansion still needs brother's arrangement. You can move East Shanyue to the west, and divide the ten or so towns in the east to Lijing Prefecture. Brother has his own measure, just look at it."

"Don't worry."

Li Xicheng responded steadily, not in a hurry, with a bit of momentum, but his eyes crossed those white costumes, still a bit sorrowful.

Li Xuanfeng tidied up for a while, stepped on the flying shuttle, took two Ning family cultivators, carried the golden bow and went out, drifting all the way to the Qingchi Sect. On the way, the two Ning family cultivators were used to him, introducing the families of several counties to him along the way.

These two brothers were both from the Ning family's side branch, and had been by Li Xuanfeng's side for more than ten years, very convinced. Li Xuanfeng listened casually, had no intention of lingering, just flew all the way, landed in Qingchi Mountain, and ordered the two:

"You wait to call, call everyone who is going to the East Sea."

He waited silently, according to the style of the Qingchi Sect, most of these sent to the East Sea to guard were cultivators with low talent. Except for the Chi and Ning families, the Element, Yuanwu, and Yuanxiu peaks would all be assigned to the Southern Border, East Sea...

He waited for a while, didn't intend to enter the mountain, just sat in the pavilion, looking at the misty Qingchi Mountain. After a while, he heard a noise, and the two Ning family members brought a group of cultivators up.

This group of men and women, wearing green Daoist robes, were mostly Qi Refining cultivation, their faces full of the greenness of being fresh out of the cottage, following behind the two Ning family members, saying in unison:

"Seen the Daoist!"

In the Qingchi Sect, those with the position of peak master are called peak masters. If there is no position of peak master, they are called Daoists—after all, in the Qingchi Sect, Foundation Establishment is not qualified to be called an ancestor.

Li Xuanfeng felt a bit strange. In those years, his family was respectful to the Qingchi sect members, not daring not to follow. He went to the Guanyun Peak of the Xiao family in those years, and a miscellaneous servant of the immortal sect dared to shout at the head of a small clan.

The small cultivator who offered the bow in those years had now become the senior of the Qingchi sect members. He chuckled and nodded lightly.

But in the eyes of this group of Fetal Breath and Qi Refining cultivators, Li Xuanfeng was wearing black-gold spirit armor, the lines were beautiful, wearing armor and robes, his eyebrows like a hawk, a pair of black pupils releasing golden flowing light, and the ferocious long bow hanging on the golden robe behind him, how majestic!

He just stood here, and there was a taste of a veteran who had guarded the border for many years, his voice slightly hoarse, looking down at the left and right, staring at the golden bow for a long time, making people's eyes hurt.

"I heard that this senior has natural divine power and can fight tigers and wolves... is the direct son of a sword family... but he gave up the sword and didn't practice it, relying on a golden bow in his hand... killed the demonic creatures in the Southern Border until they dispersed."

A group of young men and women whispered, full of envy. Even though they were disciples of the immortal sect, Foundation Establishment was not necessarily possible for them. The competition in the sect was fierce, and they had to be sent out to guard from time to time. Being able to become a figure like Li Xuanfeng was also an extraordinary thing.

Li Xuanfeng swept a glance, the number was complete, and then he patted the golden beast black-faced belt on his waist and took out a jade boat.

This spirit shuttle was only the size of a thumb at first, but grew rapidly, green light surging, turning into a large boat more than ten feet long, shaking lightly in the air.

"【Changbi Liuyun Boat】"

This boat was not Li Xuanfeng's thing. This time it was borrowed by Ning Wan. She asked Li Xuanfeng and heard him say that he had no means of transportation, and taking a group of people across the Yue Kingdom was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

A group of Qingchi disciples were used to spirit boats and didn't feel very surprised, boarded the boat one by one, still quite spacious. The two Ning family brothers consciously drove the boat, and Li Xuanfeng stood in front of the boat, looking down at the cloud peaks.

"It's a pity that I have a group of people, and I can't delay at the moment. I have to finish the task at hand before I can go home and take a look... otherwise, going to Xianhu from here, I can go home on the way."

He looked at the shuttling clouds, the clouds rising and falling, light and dark alternating, quickly crossed the Quanyu Mountain, and arrived at Libu County. The Ning family elder brother in front said:

"General, ahead is the Wubu Market!"

Li Xuanfeng naturally knew what he meant. His nephew Li Xizhi should be guarding this town. Li Xuanfeng was carrying a group of disciples, and stopping casually was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he could only say:

"Continue to fly, no need to stop."

"Yes."

The two responded and continued to urge the spirit boat, while Li Xuanfeng adjusted his breath slowly.

He practiced the technique "Golden Mang Zheng Feng Jue", a third-grade technique obtained from the Ji family in those years, which was a technique practiced by the side branch of the Situ family. Compared with those direct descendants of the immortal sect, it was much worse.

Although after Foundation Establishment, Ning Hemian sought a fourth-grade technique for him in the sect, it was also "Luo Jin Shi", called "Golden Stone Shang Xiao Fa", which could be practiced to the peak of Foundation Establishment, making his practice speed much faster, but the immortal foundation had already been cast, and it was still worse than cultivators who practiced the real "Golden Stone Shang Xiao Fa" for Foundation Establishment.

Li Xuanfeng didn't care much. This immortal foundation had been condensed to the limit by himself, and more or less didn't matter.

"Luo Jin Shi" was a technique practiced by the Tangjin Sect. Its Qi could break formations, open mountains, and destroy enemy Dharma artifacts. It was good at breaking surfaces with points. The more enemies killed, the more blood Qi was quenched, and the stronger it became.

And Li Xuanfeng had killed countless enemies in the Southern Border for decades! He had also suffered many injuries in his early years. With this spirit armor, he became even more fierce. The various Foundation Establishments who died in his hands had long reached double digits.

In his Qi sea point, it was already a chaotic golden-red light. It had been tempered to the point where it could not be tempered anymore the year before last. He was full of confidence, and four or five out of ten came from this Qi sea.

'Element True Person promoted me, I'm afraid he also saw this point...'

After these years of things, Li Xuanfeng had vaguely realized that True Person Element Ning Tiaoxiao needed a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was strong enough in Foundation Establishment and could crush a group of small people to handle things that were inconvenient for him to come forward.

And this Foundation Establishment cultivator not only had to be strong enough and loyal enough, but also had no hope of breaking through, had weaknesses to be grasped by Element... and even had to be willing to sacrifice at critical moments.

True Person Element was calculating, and he really did it to the extreme. He saw through Li Xuanfeng's character, not only married him with a clan woman, but also let the Ning family approach him, or become his subordinates, or become his colleagues... These Ning family members didn't realize it themselves, and soon treated him with sincerity.

"After all, he is an old man who has practiced for hundreds of years... the means are brilliant... no need for divine powers, no need for spells, he can still grasp people."

Li Xuanfeng was wearing the black-gold armor sought by his wife, standing quietly, staring deeply at the sunset falling in front of him.

"Boss, out of the county!"

Ning family elder brother's forehead was slightly sweaty, turned his head to smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, while the younger brother was a bit shy, looking at him with reverence.

"Got it."

Li Xuanfeng answered, the Ning family brothers supported the boat for him, one general after another, one boss after another, very loyal. Li Xuanfeng was not easy to cheat. The Ning family brothers had followed him for decades. Earlier, he suspected that they were here to monitor him. Several times the two brothers risked their lives to save him, and now they had long been regarded as their own people.

Now as long as Li Xuanfeng asked himself that he couldn't abandon his wife and subordinates, True Person Element's goal had long been achieved. Li Xuanfeng looked around, family, wife, kindness, except for working for Element, there was no other way to go.
