Meng Shengming, the son of the eldest son of Meng, has spiritual roots of gold and water, and has an eighth level of Qi training. He is a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect and was sent to Nanyang City by the sect to take care of things for the sect.
The one with the highest cultivation level in the Meng family is Meng Shengming, who is also the family's key training target. The Meng family has become a cultivating family for more than five hundred years and is still the first family in Pinghu County.
The Meng family has an iron mine in Caopi Mountain outside the county. In addition to producing ordinary limonite, which is used to refine ordinary pig iron, this iron mine can occasionally dig out ordinary quality cold iron.
Cold iron is one of the most commonly used raw materials in the world of immortality. It is used to refine various magical weapons and is in great demand. This iron mine of the Meng family was discovered by the first-generation head of the family, Meng Cheng, a foundation-building cultivator. After discovering it, he fought fiercely to seize it. It has always been the most important industry of the Meng family.
Although the output of cold iron in this iron mine is not high, it is mined day and night, and the total amount in a year is quite a lot. In addition to handing over part of it to Huang Shengzong, he could also get a generous sum of spiritual stones.
The Meng family's ability to last for more than five hundred years depends entirely on this iron mine. However, after more than five hundred years of mining, this vein has been nearly exhausted. The Meng family is about to lose its foothold in the world of cultivation and is heading for decline.
Therefore, all the resources of the Meng family are invested in Meng Shengming, hoping that he can successfully build the foundation and lead the family to revive again and find a new way out.
Tushan Erxiong, these two brothers are friends that Meng Shengming has known since his early years. The bearded Xiong Dayong is the elder brother, and the one-eyed Xiong Xiaoyong is the younger brother. The two are biological brothers. After their family was destroyed, they became casual cultivators. They both have good qualifications. Xiong Dayong has reached the eighth level of Qi cultivation and is cautious. Xiong Xiaoyong has reached the seventh level of qi training and is reckless.
Both of them are notorious in the cultivation world of Gao Cang Country and neighboring Lin Country. It is rumored that they are engaged in the business of breaking up families, and many casual cultivators have fallen into their hands. The two brothers' original family lived in Tushan, so they were called the Two Bears of Tushan.
Meng Shengming went to the villa outside the county town, met the two Tushan brothers, and told them the latest news. After discussion, the three decided not to take action yet and wait and see what happens.
Mainly because of Liu Yu's appearance, not because of Liu Yu's high level of cultivation and fear of missing out. But because of Liu Yu's status as a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect, if something goes wrong and attracts the attention of the Huang Sheng Sect's senior officials, it will cause a big disaster.
Tushan Erxiong stayed at the villa for the first time, while Meng Shengming sent people to monitor the situation in the county at all times. As soon as there is an opportunity, someone will be sent to the villa to notify the two of them to take action.
Liu Yu called Ai Yuanmu and Zhang Liangsheng and expressed his intention to buy the wolf meat and wolf bones from them. He said that he was practicing a skill that would be useful. Both of them said that the forest wolf was killed by Liu Yu alone. The wolf meat and bones should belong to Liu Yu alone.
With Liu Yu's persistence, each person accepted five hundred spiritual stones. The two of them really needed the spirit stone, and they both kept Liu Yu's friendship in their hearts.
In the next few days, Ai Yuanmu took Liu Yu and Zhang Liangsheng to visit various famous scenic spots in Pinghu County. Liu Yu has not been so relaxed and comfortable for a long time, and he has been living at ease these days.
But good times always pass quickly. It has been almost half a month since he left Yannan City. Although Senior Brother Song Ming doesn't mind, it is not good to be away for too long. Liu Yu decided to return to Yannan City tomorrow.
After Liu Yu informed Ai Yuanmu of his decision to return to Yannan City, Ai Yuanmu quickly persuaded him to stay a few more days so that he could fulfill his duties as a landlord and there were still several beautiful scenic spots that he had not visited!
After some persuasion, Liu Yu's decision was not changed. Ai Yuanmu and Zhang Liangsheng decided to set off with Liu Yu tomorrow, but their destination was Gaoyang City. It's the same journey as Liu Yu's back to Yannan City, so it's easy to get together on the road together.
The two of them were going to sell the wolf skins and wolf claws in their hands, and Ai Yuanmu wanted to exchange the spiritual stones in his hands for elixirs for practice. He had been trapped in the fourth level of Qi training for too long and could not break through. Zhang Liangsheng, on the other hand, planned to exchange all his possessions for spiritual stones and collect enough 2,000 spiritual stones to propose marriage to the Meng family and marry Meng Yiming.
The two of them proposed that Liu Yu go to Gaoyang City with them. Liu Yu did want to exchange some of the things in his hands for spiritual stones, but Gaoyang City was an important stronghold of the Huang Sheng Sect in the Gao Cang Kingdom, and it was easy to encounter the disciples of the sect.
When Liu Yu left Yannan City, he only asked for leave from Song Ming. According to regulations, he had to report to Gaoyang City and obtain permission before leaving Yannan City.
Senior Brother Song Ming was actually taking the risk for him. If he was discovered by the sect in Gaoyang City and left the station for no reason, it would implicate Senior Brother Song Ming, so Liu Yu rejected the idea.
"What to do? These three birdmen have always been together." Xiong Xiaoyong said impatiently while riding on his horse.
"Second brother, wait a moment," Xiong Dayong comforted.
Meng Shengming on the side was wearing a bamboo hat, riding on the horse without saying a word, and his face was gloomy on the bamboo hat.
It turned out that after receiving the news that Liu Yu and the others had left Pinghu County, Meng Shengming and his Tushan brothers secretly followed the three of them, looking for opportunities. They followed them for three days, but there was no sign that the three of them were separated.
"If you don't do it, let's clean it up together." Xiong Xiaoyong put his hand on his neck and said fiercely with a gesture.
"No!" Meng Shengming and Xiong Dayong said loudly together.
"Second brother, don't be confused. That Liu Yu is a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect. If you kill him, things will get bigger." Xiong Dagang said angrily.
"What if we make a big fuss? Kill us and run away. What are you afraid of?" Xiong Xiaoyong muttered.
"Humph!" Meng Shengming shook his head
"Where are you running? You killed Huang Shengzong's disciples and you thought you ran away? What are you thinking! Huang Shengzong has foundation building masters in Gaoyang City. When the news comes, they will be able to catch up quickly with clues, idiot!" Xiong Dayong restrained him! The horse turned around and cursed.
"It's not like we haven't killed him before. When Zhang Qinghe died in our hands, there was nothing wrong with him." Xiong Xiaoyongniu got angry and retorted.
"Shut up, second brother, there are some things that are going to rot in your heart, so don't talk nonsense." Meng Shengming said sternly.
"Second brother, if you still dare to talk nonsense, just go home and stay with me, and don't follow me out again." Xiong Dayong yelled with wide eyes.
"I know, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." Xiong Xiaoyong also knew that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and responded.
"Second brother, Zhang Qinghe is a disciple of Wanyao Valley, and Gaocang Kingdom is the territory of Huang Shengzong. Can it be the same? Don't take me with you if you want to die." Meng Shengming finally warned, this Xiong Xiaoyong is really a fool, Meng Shengming was very dissatisfied.
Zhang Qinghe was surrounded and killed by three people back then, and they did it very secretly. First, his father, Meng Chao, led his friend Zhang Qinghe to an inaccessible place, and then the three men who ambushed him killed Zhang Qinghe.
Later, Wanyao Valley sent people to investigate. The Meng family was a local snake, and Meng Shengming was a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect. Naturally, no clues could be found. Although the people from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley were suspicious, because some time had passed, Gaocang Country was the territory of the Huang Sheng Sect, and the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley lacked manpower here, and it was difficult to use force, so the matter was eventually dropped.
