However, even if he has some ideas now, even if he has supreme supernatural powers, they will have no effect, because that happened many years ago. Now the disaster has passed, the rebellion has been put down, and Datang He also conquered the lost territory. Didn't he still accomplish this without Ye Qingcheng's help?
Thinking about it carefully, he and the human incarnations of Huanbai and Huanbai stayed in Shuofang Army, and participated in the Battle of Sanggan River with Xiqi Allied Forces. At that time, he met many frontier generals, and they were all very outstanding. , being able to become generals in border towns where wars are frequent also illustrates the abilities of these people. Although he later felt very sad when he heard that Wang Shuai was now dead, when one Wang Shuai fell, thousands of Wang Shuai would still stand up. If the generals in the border towns united, they could still suppress the rebellion. of.
"Then your Xiao family should be developing well in Qingfeng Town, right?"
"Thanks to Ye Shijun's words, the Xiao family's current development momentum is quite good, because the Lu family, the main family, has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and has made a fortune in the war between the Eastern Continent Cultivation World and the Yizhou Cultivation World. The entire family has Our financial resources and strength have doubled several times, and as a vassal family, we have also received certain benefits. As I just mentioned, after the war, Qingfeng Town, as the source of the war, has developed considerably, and Many sectarian forces have stationed in the inner city, and the outer city is developing even more rapidly, so the eight major families will not just sit idly by, and have also sent their respective representatives to station in the inner city and the outer city. The Lu family is outside The representative of the city is our Xiao family. In addition to a certain amount of power, we also own a vein of lapis lazuli, so the territory is relatively larger than that of a family without a vein."
Actually own a vein of lapis lazuli? This surprised Ye Qingcheng a little, because lapis lazuli is not a material in the mortal world, but in the world of cultivation. Although the quality is not too high, it has a wide range of uses, so it is a very important material. Qingfeng Town was just a small town before, but there are still countless sects setting up offices here. The key point is because of the numerous green crystal mineral veins.
In addition, there is another important reason why mineral veins like Lazuli Mineral Veins can become important mineral veins, that is, this mineral does not have much energy fluctuations, and its overflowing energy can be endured by an ordinary adult mortal. In other words, this vein can use mortals as the labor force for mining. This is very important, because in this way, even the lapis lazuli veins occupied by the cultivation family only need to be handed over to the affiliated ones. Mortals can just mine it. In addition, lapis lazuli is not a material in the mortal world. Even if it is stolen, there is no way to get rid of it, so you can rest assured and leave it to mortals.
However, although it cannot be embezzled, mining the lapis lazuli vein is a very profitable act. The fact that the Xiao family can get such a lucrative position is enough to show the status and skill of the Xiao family head in the Lu family. It should not be possible to stay with him for the time being. What is the problem.
"I can't believe that that weak-looking boy back then could actually get to where he is now. It's amazing."
"Compared with Ye Shijun, what does that mean? It's a pity that Shijun was for..." Just when he wanted to continue, Ye Qingcheng waved his hand to stop him.
"It doesn't matter what happened back then, right or wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have thrown out a substitute to fake my death and go to Yaoshen Island to study medicine. But a few days ago, I suddenly thought that studying Although doctors can cure diseases and save people, they can't save Datang, or the person I want to save the most, so I left Yaishen Island. I didn't expect that Datang had already suffered so much."
"It seems that you don't have a place to live, Ye Shijun? When I started to have some insights into the Xiao family, I once looked for you, but you were no longer in Chang'an at that time. This has always been a big regret in my heart. Now it's not easy When you find an opportunity, you must let me fulfill my loyalty as a landlord, otherwise Ye Shijun, you really look down on me. I was young back then, and there was no Xiao family at that time. You didn't accept my offer. Thanks for the gift, I only got half of the jade pendant. I can understand this, but now the Xiao family has grown up. Even the Lu family in Chang'an may not be able to compare with my current Xiao family. If you still don't accept it at this time, then It’s really unreasonable.”
Looking at the other party's mature appearance, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Although it seemed to the outside world that more than twenty years had passed, he himself had not actually experienced that long, and it really felt a little unreal. , the boy from the Xiao family in my memory was a very young boy, but now his son looks almost the same as he did back then.
Recall that since I broke through the Tower of Babel, I have been out of touch with real time for a long time. First, seven months in Xiao Xumi Cave, seven years have passed in the outside world, and then I went to Qingfeng Town on the order of my senior brother. After that, he went back and forth in the phantom light channel of the Penglai line of Sanxian Mountain. Twenty years passed in the outside world. After that, there were four years of practicing lightning escape in the Thunder Pavilion. The total should be thirty years. Forget it.
He dared not imagine how many things and people could be changed in thirty years.
This is one of the reasons why most acquired cultivators rarely contact their family members in the mortal world after becoming cultivators. First, in order not to bring any danger to them, and second, the passage of time between mortals and cultivators It's not equitable. Few people can bear the feeling that their relatives are getting older while they are still young.
"Yes, my benefactor, although my father has always told me to be low-key, our house is quite big. You can live with us for a while so that our family can repay our benefactor. Ah." Seeing Ye Qingcheng frowning and sighing, the young master of the Xiao family thought he was hesitant, so he said quickly.
Although he did not know this wandering Taoist priest, the other party's elixir suppressed the injuries in his body. According to his father, this man was once a big shot and a great benefactor of their Xiao family. Such a person, How can you let the other person leave? He was full of curiosity about this person, and wished he could leave him behind and get some strange stories from him that he didn't usually hear. Since he had been to the legendary Medicine God Island, he probably had a lot of bizarre experiences. .
