Chapter 193 The Storm Is Coming
On the way back to Liu's house, it was unexpectedly calm and did not encounter any calamity.
Of course, this is inseparable from the poor appearance that Li Qing has shown from the beginning to the end. I guess Jie Xiu also looks down on people like him who can't squeeze much money out of him.
In addition, the route he chose was relatively secretive. As soon as he left Fangshi, he plunged into the vast mountains and forests, and no one could be seen.
After confirming that there was no tail following, Li Qing released the rice bucket from the beast control bag.
"Ouch!" Fantong howled twice in dissatisfaction. It was obviously very uncomfortable to stay in the beast-control bag for such a long time.
In response, Li Qing smiled slightly and directly fed it a powerful animal nourishing pill.
After taking the elixir, Fan Tong became energetic again and completely forgot about the unhappiness just now.
"Let's go back to the Liu family!" Li Qing rode on Fan Tong's broad back, patted its tiger head gently with his hand, and started galloping quickly through the mountains and forests.
Nine days passed in a blink of an eye.
After nine days of driving, Li Qing, who was tired of travel, once again arrived at the edge of the Valley of Immortality.
He looked at the towering trees taking root in the valley, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally back!"
With that said, Li Qing put the rice pail back into his beast-control bag and prepared to walk back to Liu's house.
After nine days of wandering in the mountains and forests, this journey was enough to satisfy the mountain king's addiction. The original seven-day journey ended up being delayed until the ninth day.
I just feel sorry for the ordinary wild beasts in the mountains and forests, let alone blind bears, colorful tigers, etc. Even if I see a wild boar passing by, I will go up and slap it twice.
Li Qing shook his head, shook his thoughts out of his mind, and then walked quickly towards the valley below.
Not long after, white mist surged in the valley again. At first, Li Qing thought they were coming to greet him, but soon he vaguely saw several carriages drawn by spiritual horses coming out of the white mist.
On the carriage were the casual cultivators who were attached to the Liu family, and it also pulled water tanks filled with spiritual fish.
Li Qing also knew one of them, the talkative Chen Xin whom Li Qing had befriended before!
It seems that the situation in the Liu family has indeed stabilized, Li Qing thought to himself.
"Huh? Who is here?"
The cargo team that was walking out of the formation also discovered Li Qing's presence at the first moment. They immediately shouted and asked about the origin.
Seeing this, Li Qing quickly lowered his posture and quickly took out the token to prove his identity: "Senior, don't be surprised, I am the spirit miner who lives in Courtyard No. 49 of the C-shaped area!"
The person leading the team is another elder of the Liu family, who is also in the late stage of Qi refining. His name is Liu Feng. He is usually responsible for leading the team to Tianhefang City to supply goods to the two shops of the Liu family.
Liu Feng took Li Qing's identity token suspiciously, and then said: "Besides the token, is there anyone else who can prove your identity in the Spirit Miner?"
The situation that the Liu family has been in recently is indeed not good, and Li Qing can understand the other party's caution.
"Yes, the person who led me into the Valley of Immortality was Yagyu. In addition, I also have a few friends in the casual cultivator area, and the fellow Daoist Chen Xin who is responsible for transporting the spiritual fish is also an old acquaintance of me!"
After hearing Li Qing's words, Liu Feng's brows relaxed. He turned to look behind him and asked, "Chen Xin, is this true?"
Chen Xin, who usually talks a lot, nodded repeatedly at this time: "Yes, this fellow Daoist Li is indeed a spiritual miner and has visited me several times."
Next, Liu Feng returned the token to Li Qing and asked casually why Li Qing was out.
Li Qing directly repeated the previous excuse again, and then it was accepted.
After returning to his small courtyard, Li Qing's spirit completely relaxed.
Immediately, Li Qing cooked himself a pot of spiritual rice, and at the same time created a pile of strong flames. At the same time, he also skewered two spiritual fish and grilled them by the fire.
Li Qing's eyes reflected a strong bonfire, and he analyzed the current situation again:
"It seems that what I predicted was right. After finding out the family's inner ghost, the Liu family's situation suddenly improved a lot. They were even able to send casual cultivators to transport goods to Tianhefang City."
"Although the Flying Eagle Thief has once again gained the combat power of a late-stage Qi Refiner, he has suddenly become cautious in his actions."
"Looking at it this way, my decision to return to the Liu family is also the right one."
But now there are two more doubts in front of Li Qing!
That's how the Flying Eagle Thieves cooperated with the traitor Liu Hongyuan's killing plan and defeated the Liu family's army!
And whether the main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill fell into the hands of the Flying Eagle Thief!
Li Qing rubbed his chin habitually and pondered:
"Could it be that the Flying Eagle Bandits have divided their forces? Some of them are pretending to attack to attract the Liu family's attention, while others are secretly cooperating with Liu Hongyuan?"
"That's not quite right. If we just rely on dividing our troops, it would be too difficult for the Flying Eagle Thieves to simultaneously contain the Liu family and ensure enough combat power to deal with the two late-stage Qi Refining monks from the Liu family. Unless the Demon Eagle guest can clone himself"
He whispered to himself, his brows still furrowed, but because he knew too little intelligence information, it was difficult to come up with an answer.
The other thing is the main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill. I'm afraid it's not just Li Qing who has this doubt. Most of the immortal cultivators in the nearby area should be paying attention to this matter.
If the Eagle Bandit really gets this main ingredient and successfully refines a furnace of foundation-building pills, it will be a big problem.
If you are lucky, you can make two or three pills from a furnace of foundation-building pills!
In addition, the Eagle Guest's own qualifications are not bad. He has a wind-attributed spiritual root. In the immortal sect, he is a natural prodigy.
When the Eagle Guest achieves the foundation-building stage, the cultivators in the vicinity will be in trouble. They will have to face a foundation-building cultivator!
Moreover, this foundation-building cultivator has a wind spiritual root that is extremely fast and can escape and be chased!
If the other two cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage of the Eagle Bandit are luckier, one of them will succeed in building a foundation.
That would be great fun. With two foundation-building cultivators, those immortal families with weak foundations may not be able to withstand such a formation!
When thinking of this possibility, not to mention Li Qing, even the heads of some immortal cultivation families were eyelids twitching.
"If this is true, I guess Tianhe Sect will not be able to sit still."
Li Qing muttered to himself, and then was interrupted by the aroma of roasted spirit fish, and immediately began to enjoy it.
"Forget it, there are tall people to hold up the sky when it falls, there is no need to worry so much."
As he said, Li Qing ate two roasted spirit fish and cooked spirit rice at the same time, which was so fragrant.
Just as Li Qing thought, many cultivators in the surrounding area were concerned about the whereabouts of the main medicine of the Liu family's foundation-building pill.
During this period, the top leaders of the Liu family received many letters from birds, basically asking whether the Rongyuan fruit fell into the hands of the Eagle Thief!
Of course, how many of them really care about the Liu family, or have other ideas, is unknown.
After all, it is about the main medicine of the foundation-building pill. In this regard, the Liu family has always remained silent and has not given a positive answer.
In the following months, the situation gradually calmed down, and the Flying Eagle Bandit completely disappeared.
All the businesses of the Liu family were proceeding in an orderly manner. Mines were being mined and goods were being escorted, as if nothing had ever happened.
In addition, the recent appearance of the cave of the Taoist Lingmiao has caused a lot of uproar, which has once again attracted the attention of many cultivators.
"The restriction of the medicine garden in Lingmiao Cave Mansion was finally broken by several cultivators in the foundation building period! A precious spiritual medicine with a history of nearly a thousand years has been born!"
"The blood marrow branch with an age of eight hundred years! This is the main medicine that can be used to refine the Zengyuan Pill, which can enhance the mana and Taoism of cultivators in the foundation building period!"
"It's a mess. Several cultivators in the foundation building period who have joined forces to break the restriction are fighting for the blood-red blood marrow branch!"
"It's completely crazy! The Xushen Flower has been born! The Xushen Flower with a history of nearly seven hundred years is a treasure for those who want to improve their spiritual consciousness!"
One message after another was passed on. Now more and more cultivators couldn't sit still, and all wanted to go to the cave of Lingmiao Taoist to get a share of the pie.
Mainly because these high-year spiritual medicines are too precious in today's world of immortal cultivation.
No one expected that after Lingmiao Taoist disappeared for hundreds of years, there were still so many rare spiritual medicines surviving in the medicine garden in his cave.
Such wealth can be regarded as a small secret treasure. Even the cultivators in the foundation-building stage did not care about their status and fought for it.
In fact, let alone the foundation-building stage, if the age of this virtual god flower is a few hundred years higher and becomes the level of a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, it is estimated that the cultivators in the Jindan stage will put down their face to fight for it.
Improving spiritual consciousness is a very important ability for a cultivator. Once the spiritual consciousness can far exceed that of people of the same level, it will be of great benefit to both fighting and breaking through the realm.
Regarding the matter of Lingmiao Taoist's cave, many casual cultivators of the Liu family have heard about it.
For example, many spiritual miners who have just finished digging spiritual stones have all felt tempted.
"Even I can't help wanting to get involved. There are too many treasures in the cave of Lingmiao Taoist."
"Hehe, you should take a piss and look at yourself. What's the difference between going there in the middle stage of Qi Refining and delivering food?"
"That's right. I heard that in order to break the ban, several casual cultivators in the foundation building stage directly captured several people in the Qi Refining stage as cannon fodder to explore the way."
"Alas, without strength, everything is empty talk."
Li Qing rode on the spirit horse on the way back to Liu's house. On the surface, he listened to the chats and breathing of his co-workers, but his mind was thinking about other things.
Although the natural materials and treasures in the Lingmiao cave were very tempting, Li Qing could hardly generate the slightest interest, just because all of this had nothing to do with him.
Let alone the spiritual medicine of hundreds of years, even if a nine-turn immortal pill that could make people ascend to heaven in a hundred days was produced, he would not be interested.
What kind of level considers what kind of things, what he cares most about now is the matter of the Eagle Bandits.
Since the Eagle Bandits disappeared, the Liu family area is really too peaceful, even a little abnormal!
Of course, Li Qing would definitely like his life to be peaceful, which is in line with his idea of stable development.
However, under this kind of peace, there may be many undercurrents.
Although he could not know the details, he always had a sense of tranquility before the storm.
The unknown is the most terrifying!
Li Qing now doubted that the Eagle Thief might have really snatched the Rongyuan Fruit.
During this period of time, there was no trace. It is very likely that they were digesting what they had obtained and transforming it into their own strength.
The Liu family was so arrogant and continued to arrange spiritual miners to go to the mines and organize caravans to go to Tianhe Market. It was like casting bait to lure the Eagle Bandits to appear.
However, the Eagle Bandits did not take the bait and became very cautious.
Finally, a piece of news about the Liu family was passed to the outside world.
Liu Hanyue, the pearl of the Liu family who was in the Tianhe Sect, returned to the Liu family's clan from the sect.
What kind of message was this releasing? Countless people began to speculate.
"Isn't Liu Hanyue already at the ninth level of Qi Refining? She is in the critical stage of building the foundation. Why is she returning to the family at this time?"
"Does the Liu family feel restless? The Rongyuan Fruit may have really fallen into the hands of the Eagle Thief, and now they are in urgent need of combat power?!"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the future."
"That's hard to say. It's possible that the Rongyuan Fruit was not lost and has now been refined into a foundation-building pill. It's possible that Liu Hanyue will be called back to build the foundation!"
It is worth mentioning that as long as you reach the late stage of Qi Refining, whether it is the seventh or tenth level, you can take the foundation-building pill to impact the foundation-building realm, and you don't have to wait until the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Of course, in order to be safer, many people will choose to practice Qi Refining to at least the ninth or tenth level before taking the foundation-building pill to break through.
The advantage of doing this is that the success rate will be higher. After all, it is related to the foundation-building event. This is the most important level in the practice. Even if the success rate can only be improved a little, it is worth it!
In short, every move of Liu Hanyue now attracts the attention of countless people!
