Just as he was heading to the gate of Li City with doubts, the head of the Liu family in the city, Liu Chenglong, and a group of direct descendants were sitting in the hall. Many people looked solemn, obviously discussing some important matter.
At this time, Liu Xu's second aunt, the elegant woman, spoke up: "Master, the Sun family has spoken again, saying that Xu'er must come to explain Sun Huan's disappearance."
"snort,"
Liu Chenglong snorted coldly, "Do you really think that there is no one in my Liu family? Wilderness experience is full of dangers, who can I blame for my incompetence? If you have the ability, let Sun Batian go find the locust tree demon himself and ask what happened to Guan Xu'er. "
"By the way, I haven't seen Xu'er for several days. Where has she gone?"
The woman wanted to say more, but was stopped by her husband's eyes. The latter stepped forward and explained: "Dad, it is said that a place with abundant spiritual energy was discovered fifty miles east of the city, and the terrain is extremely suitable for establishing a sect. Yesterday, Xu'er brought She went with her colleagues to investigate the matter."
Liu Chenglong nodded. The distance was not far, and ordinary cultivators could go back and forth in just one day.
At this time, another middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed: "Dad, there is one more thing. In the past month, our Liu family has had a total of eleven treasure hunting teams go to the wilderness to search for spiritual objects in the world, but they have lost contact with each other. The child feels that something is wrong. Weird."
Every family will raise some immortal cultivators to go on adventures and hunt for treasures, and the Liu family is no exception.
"oh?"
Liu Chenglong raised his eyebrows slightly. He was still aware of the strength of his expedition team. At the very least, they were all third-level demon hunters, and only first-level spiritual cultivators could serve as the leader. Even some weak earth demons could be the leaders of this level. Territories also come and go freely.
Generally speaking, teams that go out will not leave too far, and will come back in half a month at most. Now that so many teams have disappeared collectively, it has to make people suspicious.
"Did other families secretly take action? No, how did they know the whereabouts of each team?"
"I have asked the He family and Wang family, and the same is true for their expedition team,"
The middle-aged man said, "Not only them, but also the expedition teams sent by some ordinary families in the city."
"In addition, our Liu family has also lost contact with some spiritual fruit-growing and spiritual servants arranged in the nearby mountains and forests."
Hearing this, everyone in the Liu family who originally didn't care much became serious.
Such a large-scale loss of contact with immortal cultivators shows that there must be some turmoil in the wilderness, and it is not good for the human race and Licheng.
At this time, a beautiful girl suddenly said urgently: "It's so chaotic outside, isn't Sister Xu'er very dangerous?"
She is one of the few sisters in the Liu family who has a good relationship with Liu Xu.
"Probably not. First of all, that place is not far away."
The middle-aged man from before mused, "Furthermore, Xu'er is in the realm of returning to the virtual world, and there is a group of people following her. Even if she encounters a first- or second-level celestial demon, she will be able to protect herself."
"But to be careful, it's better to send someone to inform her to come back early."
Next, everyone discussed some details, and finally decided to stay in the city for the time being and not go out. At the same time, they sent a team out of the city to notify Liu Xu to come back.
Because the situation is unknown, the people who go there cannot be too weak.
At this moment, Liu Xu's second uncle Liu Gong stepped forward and said, "Dad, just let me and Rong'er go."
Rong'er is the graceful and luxurious woman from before, her name is Zeng Rong.
"You?" Liu Chenglong pondered.
"Yes, I am a ninth-level demon hunter, and Rong'er is also a seventh-level demon hunter. Together we can escape even if the opponent is a rank-4 demon."
"And I also heard that the Wang family is going to the east of the city today to investigate the situation. We can go together so that we can have someone to take care of us."
Hearing this, Liu Chenglong nodded and agreed. If it was the Sun family, he would be afraid that the other party would play some tricks behind his back. As for the Wang family, although there were occasional frictions between the two, they were generally friendly.
Seeing Liu Chenglong agreeing, Liu Gong and his wife looked at each other, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.
Not long after, a team of more than ten people jumped out from the Liu family gate and rushed towards the east of the city.
After passing through several noisy streets, they met another team. The two seemed to have made an appointment in advance. The leader was a tall, middle-aged man with cheeks, and a sacred horse stood on his shoulders. The incomparable blood-red parrot, with a pair of scarlet eyes staring straight at the passers-by, is very scary.
He is the second-generation eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Chenghui.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that Sun Ye personally took action in the Sun family? Why did that cheap maid run away? And you specifically asked us to come to help?" As soon as he came closer, Liu Gong suppressed his voice and said dissatisfied .
"Hehe, you're not that pervert Sun Ye. Just like his son, he gets impatient before he succeeds and accidentally exposes the enemy." The middle-aged man with cheekbones was quite disdainful.
It turns out that all this is a conspiracy of the Sun family.
The place Liuxu knew about that was full of spiritual energy was fake. As soon as she entered, she noticed something was wrong. When she planned to evacuate, the only way out was blocked by the Sun family.
What was unexpected was that there was something strange in the valley that trapped them, and a team of nearly a hundred people disappeared without a trace inside.
After a fruitless search, Sun could only send people back to Licheng to ask for help.
"What a waste. Sooner or later he will die of a woman."
After learning what had happened, Liu Gong couldn't help but curse. The false news Liu Xu knew was "inadvertently" revealed to Liu Xu by his wife. If the other party really escaped, then his collusion with the Sun family would also be exposed.
Liu Gong shuddered even thinking about the way the Liu family treated traitors.
He didn't understand, really didn't understand, there were no beautiful women, and why the Sun family was clinging to the catkins.
But this is not the most important thing. We must not let that bitch go back alive now, otherwise he will be finished.
Thinking of this, Liu Gonggang was about to ask everyone to move forward faster, when Zeng Rong beside him suddenly said: "Husband, do you think that young man is the concubine of that cheap maid?"
Liu Gong turned his head and saw Wu Tian's figure coming out of a shop selling spiritual objects from heaven and earth.
Wu Tian was not happy. After entering the city, he did not go to meet Liuxu immediately. Instead, he planned to estimate the value of his harvest first.
It is impossible to take out the eggs of the Thunderhidden Mosquito, and the same is true for the wood struck by lightning for thousands of years.
As for those heaven and earth spiritual beings, except for the poisonous ones used in practicing the Ten Thousand Poisons Health Art, such as the Ringed Blood Fruit, most of them are not of high value.
You must know that the cultivation of immortal cultivators above the first spiritual level is mainly to comprehend the great path. In addition to daily meditation, there are two ways to increase the speed of cultivation.
Either swallow some elixirs to assist in practice, or practice with the help of some treasures that contain the enlightenment of the great path. The mother energy of all things is the latter, and it can be called the most precious treasure of the earth, because it contains the complete earth path inside.
It's a pity that Wu Tian took it and "died together" with the Qianxin Glazed Beast in order to save his life.
As for the elixirs that assist cultivation, they contain fragments of the Great Dao, and often require an alchemy master who is one or even two levels stronger to refine them.
For example, the elixir for the immortal cultivators in the first stage of Ling came from the hands of masters in the Nascent Soul stage, which shows how valuable it is.
Therefore, immortal cultivators who have no money can only settle for the next best thing and go to some special environments in the wilderness to practice. For example, those with fire spirit roots will look for some thousand-year-old volcanoes or underground fire caves, and those with water spirit roots will go to sea islands.
This is the case for Wu Tian at the moment. The sixteen heaven and earth spiritual objects in his hand are all raw materials for refining the first-stage immortal cultivator elixir, and the shop only gives a price of 60 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones.
The price is pretty good, and the average material is only two or three mid-grade spiritual stones.
After some consideration, Wu Tian sold these raw materials, and then spent ten yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones to buy a bottle of elixir to speed up the recovery of cultivation and healing.
After the dangerous scene on the return journey, Sun Huan didn't have many pills left behind. Wu Tianyi gritted his teeth and bought the most expensive one for the sake of his own life.
That was a thousand low-grade spiritual stones, which he had never dared to think about before.
As for the elixirs that aided cultivation, he just glanced at them and then honestly looked away.
There are three elixirs in a bottle. Each elixir can increase the cultivation speed by about three times. It lasts for ten days. Each bottle costs 50 mid-grade spiritual stones.
In other words, one month of training is equivalent to three months, but the price is fifty middle-grade spiritual stones.
Now Wu Tian understood how Sun Huan's state came to be, and he piled it on with spiritual stones.
It's just that how could the Heavenly Dao allow such a thing to happen? Sun Huan was stuck there unable to move due to the natural disaster.
Once he overcomes the tribulation, not to mention other things, the inner demon alone is enough to make him die more than ten times.
Next, just when Wu Tian was about to visit the store selling magic weapons, several figures stood in front of him, and then an indifferent voice sounded: "Come with me."
Wu Tiangang was about to retreat, only to realize that several people had gathered around him unknowingly.
They are all monster hunters of level 4 or above, and the leader is even level 5.
It also takes time to perform the Earth Escape Technique, but Wu Tian gave up after seeing their eager eyes.
It is an iron rule not to do anything in Licheng. If he uses the Earth Escape Technique first, he will inevitably fall into trouble later.
After a while, as several cat beasts flew into the air, Wu Tian, who had just returned not long ago, left Licheng again.
Carrying the cat beast on his back, Zeng Rongzheng explained patiently: "I have told you the matter. Now not only Xu'er, but also your fellow sects are in danger. We are also going to rescue them under the order of the head of the Liu family. It’s even better now with your help.”
Hearing this, Wu Tian looked up at her and saw a hypocritical smile on her rouged face. Others not far away still looked indifferent.
After seeing him nodding silently, Zeng Rongfang stood up and walked to Liu Gong with proud steps.
"I said, do you have to do this? That kid is not a fool. You almost tied him up with a rope just now."
Liu Gong snorted coldly. When they first saw Wu Tian's appearance, they were very excited at first, because Sun Batian, the head of the Sun family, had said that as long as they could bring this kid to him, they would be rewarded heavily.
