The summer sun shines on the square beside Tianchi, and its warm light illuminates the figures of Li Shuidao and Lan Huaying.
Li Shuidao cupped his fists and saluted Lan Huaying, with a hint of seriousness in his voice: "Master Lanfang, Tianchifang will be left to you for the time being. I will go to Yunmang Mountain to complete the tasks assigned by the master."
Lan Huaying smiled and nodded. She took out another letter from her body and said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Li, you have to be careful. Yunmang Mountain is full of dangers. You are not familiar with this place and there is no way to investigate it." Starting from now, when you arrive at Yunmang Mountain, you have to find Tianpeng Villa and give the owner's order to Lang Zhanpeng. This man is a smart and witty man. He will help you contact various secrets. Maybe they can provide relevant information. Clues to Dragon Bone Tai Sui.”
Li Shuidao took a deep breath, took the jade letter with both hands, and said solemnly: "I understand, I will travel day and night without wasting any time. I will rush to Tianpeng Villa immediately. I will never He will live up to the boss’s expectations.”
The conversation between the two was full of tacit understanding and trust.
Li Shuidao turned around and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he looked at Lan Huaying again and said, "Master Lanfang, I will come back as soon as possible to reunite with you again."
Lan Huaying smiled and nodded, her eyes full of expectations and blessings: "Fellow Daoist Li, have a safe journey, and take care of yourself. I will protect everything in Tianchifang and wait for your safe return."
Li Shuidao saluted Lan Huaying, then turned into a ray of light and left.
Lan Huaying watched him leave, and then returned to the study. She asked the accountant she brought to carefully check Tianchifang's accounts to see if there was any suspicion of fraud.
After Lan Huaying left, Xia Ruoxue, who was dressed in black robes and phoenix feathers, also came to the square in the center of Fang City, and then turned into a colorful ray of light and flew away.
The two met on an unknown mountain peak and merged with each other.
Xia Ruoxue looked at Li Shuidao and asked softly: "Husband, are we leaving like this?"
Li Shuidao nodded coldly, with a hint of firmness in his tone: "Of course, what other choices are there? But before that, let's go to Scorpio Valley and talk to the old bastard about the terms."
Xia Ruoxue nodded.
Scorpio Valley.
Two rays of light fell into the mouth of the valley and headed towards the valley.
A moist breath hits my face, accompanied by the sound of clear streams and the chirping of birds.
The Li family's mansion stands at the entrance of the valley, majestic and solemn. The mansion is surrounded by a vast grassland, full of greenery, dotted with flowers, plants and trees, exuding a light fragrance.
The architecture of the mansion is full of simplicity, with red walls, black tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, highlighting the family's nobility and history.
Although the Lee family has only moved to the city for a few years, the buildings here carry a long history.
After all, it was stolen...
After Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue reported their names, they were quickly led to the guest reception hall.
Li Haohan greeted him in person, with enthusiasm on his face: "We are really distinguished guests. I wonder why you two are visiting this humble house?"
"There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. There is indeed a big event this time." Li Shuidao handed an opened letter to Li Haohan with a serious face.
This letter was the order from the leader to Li Shuidao.
Li Haohan took the letter, and the head's order was densely filled with the family's orders and arrangements.
Li Haohan received the order from the leader, frowned slightly, and read it with solemn eyes. His eyes gradually became darker...
"The family wants to send you to Yunmang Mountain to look for Dragon Bone Tai Sui? And even if you can't find it, you will have to stay for three years before you can come back. During this period, Lan Huaying will serve as the owner?" Li Haohan's voice revealed a hint of incredulity.
"That's right." Li Shuidao nodded, confirming Li Haohan's guess. And continued: "Now that Lan Huaying has become the owner of Tianchifang, she should have already started checking the accounts."
"How are you doing with your accounts?" Li Haohan asked with concern.
"Don't worry, the accounts have always been done separately. The part involving the Lingshi mine was done by Xue'er personally. There will never be any problems." Li Shuidao explained with a smile.
Li Haohan looked at Xia Ruoxue.
Xia Ruoxue, dressed in black, smiled slightly and saluted Li Haohan.
"Miss Xia actually has the ability to settle accounts. This mine washing account is much more difficult to do than normal accounts." Li Haohan said with a surprised look on his face.
Xia Ruoxue smiled and said nothing. With the help of large magical tools such as the "Zhushu Secret Room", she could calculate the accounts easily.
"Why did the Lan family investigate Tianchifang, but what flaws did we reveal?" Li Haohan asked, he was confused by this decision.
Li Shuidao smiled and explained: "In the past few years, Tianchifang has laundered at least four to five million spirit stones. Black Mountain has recently circulated a large amount of metallic spirit stones. The Five Poison Sect must be alert and wants to check these spirit stones. The source, isn’t this normal?”
After hearing this, Li Haohan suddenly realized that he understood the Lan family's considerations.
Li Haohan looked around and made sure no one was prying, then continued: "So Lan Huaying just suspects that we are digging for spiritual mines?"
Li Shuidao shook his head and said: "If there is such suspicion, I am afraid that the first thing to do is to seal up Scorpio Valley and search it carefully. Now the sect probably just feels that there is a problem. Whether someone has opened the spirit stone mine privately, they may not know yet. Sure."
Li Haohan's face was solemn. He paced back and forth in the hall, and then said: "Thank you for informing me about this! From now on, we will stop digging and will no longer deliver metallic spiritual stones to the market. At this time, the Five Poisons Men already have suspicions, and they are transporting spiritual stones out, which is simply asking for death."
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, but did not agree. He obviously had different opinions.
At this moment, a man walked out from behind the screen in the reception hall. This man was wearing an iron mask and black clothes. He was tall and imposing, exuding a majestic aura.
When they saw the Iron Masked Man, both Li Shuidao and Li Haohan saluted to express their respect for him.
"No courtesy!" The man in the iron mask said with a wave of his hand.
I saw him walking up to Li Haohan and saying in a preaching tone: "We have been delivering metallic spirit stones to the market before, but now we suddenly stop. After three years, the proportion of metallic spirit stones circulating in the market will return to normal. This will cause Tianchifang to be affected." There are more suspicions about the Five Poison Sect. Therefore, we must let the mined spirit stones continue to flow out, but we just need to replace them with new channels. "
"That's what my father taught me." Li Haohan said with a look of shame.
"Are you going to find Dragon Bone Tai Sui this time?" The Iron Masked Man turned to look at Li Shuidao and asked.
Li Shuidao replied with respect: "Yes, I will go to Yunmang Mountain to look for the dragon bone Tai Sui on the orders of the master."
The Iron Masked Man nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, I need this thing too. If you find it, tell me secretly, and I will reward you heavily afterwards. As for the sect, just say you didn't find it. I understand." ?"
"I understand!" Li Shuidao immediately expressed his stance.
"Very good!" The Iron Masked Man nodded, looking extremely satisfied.
"Um...senior, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope senior will agree." Li Shuidao said respectfully.
The man in the iron mask replied readily: "You tell me."
Li Shuidao took a deep breath and continued: "Ten years ago, Xue'er and I placed one hundred and eighty first-level high-grade blood soul beads in the Yingyue Ancient Well of Lengyuehua Secret Mansion. Now that I think about it, all of them have been promoted to the highest level. I have obtained the second-level spiritual material Taiyin Blood Soul Pearl, and I want to take it all to refine the elixir."
The Iron Masked Man pondered for a moment and then said: "Are you planning to refine Taiyin Ice Cold Pill?"
Li Shuidao nodded and explained: "My skills tend to be of the lunar attribute, and the "Leng Yue Sword Art" I practice focuses on the ice attribute. These pills are just right for me, and they will definitely make my skills greatly improve." , enough to break through the middle stage of the Rongling Realm."
The man in the iron mask looked dimly and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, and another ten years have passed."
"Okay! I'm sure about this."
One hundred and eighty second-level spiritual materials, worth at least more than 30,000 spiritual stones.
However, over the years, Li Shuidao, as the owner of Tianchifang, has made considerable contributions to the Li family. In addition, the Li family owns the spirit stone mine, and there is no shortage of various cultivation resources. What he lacks are high-level resources that can greatly improve his cultivation, such as the "Dragon Bone Tai Sui".
"Thank you, senior, for your permission." Li Shuidao said gratefully.
"You have to be more careful about Dragon Bone Tai Sui." The Iron Masked Man reminded him again.
"My subordinates will live up to their trust! Besides, I am a member of the Li family. If I am not loyal to the family, why should I be loyal to the woman named Lan?" Li Shuidao replied firmly.
The Iron Masked Man nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of approval, and immediately ordered: "Han'er, write him a handwritten letter and ask them to go to Lengyuehua Secret Mansion and take away all the Taiyin Blood Soul Beads."
"My child obeys your orders." Li Haohan agreed.
After the man in the iron mask finished speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing behind the screen.
Li Haohan took the two of them to the study, wrote the handwriting in person, and stamped it with a fire seal.
The fire lacquer seal is engraved with the word "Han".
This is the real letter from the head of the Li family. It can be said that this letter is passed through all spheres of influence of the Li family without any hindrance.
And Li Shuihong's patriarch's letter was useless as soon as he left Shenmu City.
Li Shuihong's position as the head of the Li family is just a decoration, used only to confuse the Five Poison Sects.
After receiving the patriarch's handwriting, Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue flew away together...
After a while, two rays of light fell on a mountain top.
Li Shuidao took out the manuscript of team leader Li Haohan from his storage bag and handed it to Xia Ruoxue: "Let's act separately! You take this letter to Lengyuehua Secret Mansion and take away all the Taiyin Blood Soul Beads. I'm going A trip to Mosha Cliff informed Ding Yufeng of everything the Lan family had done, and we met at the Snow Summit of Cuiping Mountain."
Xia Ruoxue nodded and turned into a colorful ray of light and left.
Li Shuidao turned into a silver-gray escaping light and went to Mosha Cliff.
