Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 348 Rui Shi
Li Xiyou wandered around in the forest for a full day, the clan soldiers complained in agony, excused their illness and refused to leave, Li Xiyou moved forward on his own, only [-]% of the soldiers and horses remained, and finally reached the hill next to Li's family.

In this hill there is a Lingbi mine vein of Qi training level, which is jointly controlled by five Taixi families, and it mines for the Xiao family, known as the five Lingbi families.

After walking a few miles, entering the territory of the Rui family, which is close to the Li family, they saw two small spiritual fields, and the rest of the soldiers and horses dispersed in a crowd. They jumped into the field to pull rice, and only 100 people were left. Many people followed behind him.

"This is spiritual rice!"

Four tribes of soldiers passed by in front, and Ling Daoqiu did nothing wrong, and was completely ruined in the blink of an eye. Li Xiyu reined in his horse and stood up, symbolically reprimanding him twice.

Although Li Xixi loves the children of the clan and mostly supports them with money and food, but he helps those brothers in the clan with outstanding talents, and he also has no good impressions of these dudes who ruin the reputation of the family. He only believes in horses walking on the path, and secretly said:
"The lazy and stupid ones ran away on the road, and now another batch of greedy and stupid ones are sent, and there are still..."

He was holding a long spear and was arranging and combining in his heart, when a group of soldiers and horses came up ahead, respectfully said:

"Young master, the formation has been broken, please go up the mountain!"

Li Xixi nodded, observed the terrain, pinched his crotch, and said doubtfully:
"Since a large mine like the Lingbi Mine has been raised, how come the land veins and spiritual resources in this place are so barren!"

The spiritual field in this land is placed in the impoverished land where Li's family would not steal it, but Rui's family uses it to grow spiritual rice. The lack of spiritual resources in the territory can be seen. Li Xie only secretly said:

"Let's not say that this place is cooked once every two years, maybe only once every seven or eight years! No wonder the five families next to the Lingbi Mine have not been able to squeeze out a Qi training for so many years."

Rui Jiafeng.

The formation on the small peak of the Rui family had already been breached with a bang, not even by the Li family. Chen Mufeng attacked a few times symbolically, calling out the name of the Li family, and the other party hurriedly opened the formation.

Li Xiyi remembered the instructions from his family, so he went to the top of the mountain to see the Lingquan first.

The spiritual spring on Ruijia Peak is Wang Qingbi, which is slightly chilly, and the spiritual energy content is slightly lower than that on Qianshan Mountain in China. He didn't know if it was suitable, so he put a small bottle in a jade bottle and took it back to have a look.

After arranging the most important things, Li Xijiao crunched the snow and stepped into the main hall of Rui's family.

In front of him was a young man wearing armor and holding a long halberd. It was Chen Mufeng, who had been waiting for Li Xiyi after breaking through the mountain. Standing in the main hall, two rows of clan soldiers held swords, and the cold air was overwhelming.

Chen Mufeng is Chen Donghe's nephew, and Li Qiuyang's apprentice and son-in-law. Although the Chen family doesn't have many spiritual orifices, those who have spiritual orifices are outstanding. Chen Mufeng is only 27, and he already has the cultivation of the five-level Yujinglun.

Although the breakthrough was not long and his cultivation base was not stable, he still had the hope of [-] impacts on Qi training. He was immediately promoted by the Li family, and he was regarded as a very popular person in the family.

Li Xiyi had just entered, and all the Rui family members ran down like shit, and they all knelt down in front of him. The white-haired old man at the head held the jade seal, held it up high, and buried his head and said:

"The Rui family welcomes the generals of the rich family, and presents the green seal, and is willing to serve the powerful family dogs and horses, and never let each other..."

This old man from the Rui family seems to be the most cultivated member of the Rui family, but he is only on the fourth floor of the fetal breath, not as good as Chen Mufeng, and he dare not offend the Li family who has established a foundation and has practiced a lot of qi. India held high.

Chen Mufeng worked as a servant in the market, and when he returned home, he led people to slaughter the nobles of Shanyue. Disdainfully opened the mouth and said:

"The words are beautiful!"

"Eh."

Li Xiyi didn't respond to him, looked around, there were two small piles of spiritual rice on the side, it looked like offerings, it was pitifully small, not as much as his family's salary, so he passed by with a glance.

On the other hand, there are dozens of white and pink objects on the jade plate, which are crystal clear and white, and look quite cute. There are also five or six jade bottles, full of blood.

Although Li Xiyue has stayed in Dongshan for several years and learned about many spiritual things, he has rarely been exposed to the secret transactions of monks, so he said with some doubts:

"What is this?"

The old man Rui hurriedly held it up, the fleshy thing was pink and tender, and said respectfully:
"The name of this thing is 'rice meat'. The Yu family...Yu thief asked for this thing to be offered."

Li Xixi looked at it for a while, but felt inexplicably intrusive, and waved him away. Chen Mufeng, who was at the side, had already understood it, and listened to him with an ugly expression:
"The so-called 'rice meat' is raised from rice. It refers to mortals. It should be refined by secret methods. There is also 'blood meat', which is an elegant name for blood."

Li Xiyi's complexion turned pale for a while, but he was well-preserved and never opened his mouth. Old man Rui only looked at the faces of the two of them, and immediately understood that the flattery was on the horse's lap, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"The villain doesn't know that the nobles don't like this thing. I'm afraid I offended you. Please forgive me! The villain is called Rui Qiongcuo. My ancestor... my ancestor was enlightened by the Xiao family."

Rui Qiongcuo's words were a backer, Chen Mufeng glanced at him, but also ignored him.

The Rui family and the few families around the Lingbi Mine were inspired by the Xiao family in the early years and mined minerals for the Xiao family. It sounds like a vassal, but it sounds like a miner's slave. It is not shameful to surrender.

The Xiao family did not provide any evidence, but it is naturally impossible for the Li family to annex the vassals of their backing. Seeing that Li Xiyi was silent, Chen Mufeng also stood still.

Rui Qiongcuo secretly drummed in his heart. After all, everyone knew about the attack on the Xiao family, and he didn't know the casualties of the Xiao family. This made this old fritter who was always a ghost a little uneasy:
"The Li family... is also supported by the Xiao family, maybe nothing will happen?"

Just as he was thinking, another person came up from outside the hall. The old man Rui had never cultivated spiritual consciousness. He only heard Chen Mufeng, who was holding a halberd, respectfully called "Master".

It was Li Qiuyang who came. After all, these small clans were nothing more than fetus-breathing monks, so they didn't bother the Li family's descendants to practice Qi and shot, and only sent Li Qiuyang and others to go.

Li Qiuyang tightened his robe, with snow still on his body, looking thoughtful, holding a pale blue diamond-shaped ore in his hand, and said softly:
"I was ordered by my family to investigate the Lingbi Mine that was excavated by five families."

"The troublemakers are getting old."

Li Xixi responded, seeing Li Qiuyang hesitant to speak, first put away the ore silently, and said in a deep voice:
"Since Mrs. Rui has entered my Li family's fence, there should be restrictions. People should no longer be used as spiritual materials to make 'rice meat' or 'blood meat'. This matter is the most important thing in my family. Please don't try your best by yourself."

This matter was disgraceful, but now that Li Xijiao said it bluntly, Rui Qiongcuo couldn't help but be obedient, and secretly groaned in his heart:

"It's so overbearing... When the Yu family was here, they had to collect blood as offerings, but the Li family banned rice and meat. It's a family with a temper, but my land is barren, so I don't need to take the old, weak, sick and disabled as medicine... What can I do!"

Although there is such a good thing as the Lingbi Mine in the land of Wujia, the spiritual veins and spiritual resources seem to have been collected by this mine. A large area is a wasteland with extremely poor spiritual resources. It is too difficult for the Rui family to grow spiritual rice and spiritual objects. , can only use various means to survive...

Li Xixi looked at his submissive appearance, organized his words, and continued:

"My Patriarch knows what you're waiting for, and he didn't want you to worship for nothing. He allowed Rui Shi to send people to plant rice under the Yuting Peak on the border of my house to study, and my family only charged [-]% of the rent."

The old man was stunned for a moment, his eyes were no longer cunning, but instead deeply confused. Looking at Li Xijiao's face, he said in a daze:

"Go to Yuting Peak, plant rice..."

Old man Rui muttered a few words, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly asked:

"I don't know how much the upper family will charge for offerings?"

"Take the water from your house's spiritual spring, and the [-]% of the rent will be considered an offering!"

Li Xiyi waved his hand, and old man Rui stared blankly, still in disbelief.

Of course, Rui Qiongcuo knew how rich the family's land was and how rich the ideas were, and he had been greedy, but when he was running the family, the Ji family was the most prosperous, and Ji Dengqi was especially domineering, so it was not his turn to covet.

Later, Ji's family went to An's family, and An's family came to Li's family. What [White Jade Hand], what [Moon Que Sword], they are more powerful, and they can destroy their own family with one breath.

As for secretly selling mines... The Xiao family's pulse-seeking technique is profound, how many ores are missing in the mine, and how much is handed over to his family, they understand very well that once the incident happens, it will be a disaster for the entire family.

It's not that Rui's never thought of escaping from this poor place, but the Xiao family sent people to collect the mines every year, and Rui's really didn't dare to move, so he could only toss about year after year.

Now that there is hope, decades of sadness welled up in my heart, and I burst into tears for a while, and said respectfully:

"Thank you sir!"

Seeing old man Rui bowing down against the ground, with a greatly moved expression, Li Xixi was a little surprised.

The order was given by Li Yuanping, but he didn't think too much about it. The Li family was short of staff, and there was still a large vacant spiritual field under Yuting Peak, but it was the difference between leaving it idle and renting it out.

"okay."

The old man Rui had become a kowtower, Li Xixi ordered someone to help him up, the old man was full of tears, it seemed that he was really moved.

Rui's gratitude was of no use to the Li family, but Li Xijiao was a good-natured person. Seeing the old man's moving appearance, he was in a good mood, and after saying some comforting words, Tian Zhongqing from the other end also brought someone over.

The Pu family was also very grateful, and sent two fetus-breathing monks over.

"Then go home."

Li Xiyi settled everything, warned Rui Shi repeatedly, and transcribed a copy of Rui Shi's exercises. After a closer look, it turned out that they were some common goods, and they were already in the family, so they had to move to the Hui family.

----

This expedition felt a bit thunderous and rainy. In just one day, two families were settled, and they returned triumphantly. The Li family took the vassals of the Rui family and the Pu family who were close to their own, and tied them together by renting land. Much closer than usual offerings.

Li Xiyi returned with more than 100 people. Yutingwei killed more than a thousand people for disrespecting military law and family law.

This crime was laid firmly, not only did Li Yuanping not have to argue with the old uncles of this group, but he also took advantage of the situation to straighten up the family tradition, the important matter in his heart was settled, and his steps were a little brisk.

"It's just that the old uncles of this group of people are not stupid. If people see it, my reputation will inevitably be bad."

Li Yuanping didn't take it seriously after hearing some abuse, and spent a few days trying to appease the elder clan uncle, then put the matter behind him.

Sitting at the large table, Li Yuanping held up a small letter and frowned.

This letter was written by An Zheyan, who was stationed at Huaqian Mountain. The Lingquan of Rui's family had been sent there long ago, filled with seven or eight jade bottles, but the old monkey resolutely threw them out of the cave one by one. .

An Zheyan chattered with the old monkey like a monkey for a long time before he realized that the spiritual spring of Rui's family was too cold and poisoned by gold, if it was poured like this, it might destroy the spiritual root.

"This!"

Hearing the news, Li Yuanping broke out in a cold sweat, silently rejoicing, if it weren't for this old monkey guarding the gate, wouldn't it be a waste of this foundation-level cash cow.

Silently crediting the old monkey in his heart, Li Yuanping was thinking about whether to send someone to check the spring water, and at the same time called Li Qiuyang who claimed to have something important to report.

Li Qiuyang looked serious, took out a light blue ore from the storage bag, and said in a low voice:
"Patriarch, I checked the ore claimed to be the Lingbi Mine on the Lingbi Five House, and took a sample back."

After saying this, he handed over the ore, and Li Yuanjiao took a look at it. The light blue eye-catching, with some golden light, this ore is a spiritual object of Qi training level, which may hurt the human body. Li Qiuyang, afraid of hurting Li Yuanping, has sealed it with magic .

Li Yuanping couldn't see anything famous, but Li Qiuyang said solemnly:
"This is not Lingbi, it's Cuiyuan Copper Essence, which is a very rare spiritual object. This subordinate learned about it while chatting with the monks of the Xiao family."

"Cuiyuan Copper Essence is a spiritual object of Qi training level. It needs to be mined by fetal breath monks. This thing has a cold temperament and hurts the body the most. It will be mined inside without breaking through Qi training. It will hinder the road and longevity, and it will become more difficult in the future. breakthrough."

"The five Lingbi families don't know that they mine every year, and the copper essence will infect the spiritual field and hurt the spiritual things. The whole Lingbi five families can't grow much spiritual rice because of this thing."

Li Yuanping felt a chill behind his back, suddenly realized, put down the copper essence, nodded and said:
"That's how it is... No wonder the five Lingbi families are still in fetal breath for so many years, and they haven't done much Qi training at all. It's no wonder that the Xiao family wants to enlighten other clans. Firstly, the Qingchi sect strictly prohibits crossing peaks and counties, for fear of stimulating the Qingchi sect. Secondly, I am not willing to send people to mine."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanping's previous doubts were explained, and he murmured:

"It's no wonder that the spring water is poisoned by gold. It's probably also contaminated by Cuiyuan copper essence."

He felt much relieved and asked:

"Arrangements have been made for the monks of the Rui family and the Pu family?"

"It's already been arranged. A land boundary has been drawn on Yuting Peak to plant spiritual rice."

Li Qiuyang responded, Li Yuanping picked up the vermilion pen, mentioned a few words on the small letter from An Zheyan, handed it to him, and said softly:
"Please, Uncle Clan, transfer it to Wutu Peak."
