It is nearing the end of July, in the Yuepan Valley.
Li Qingfeng followed the creek in the valley all the way up and came to the source of the creek, the cave where the strange-crested python was located.
Last month, he followed the Zhang family's shuttle to Quanming Mountain, the home of the Zhang family, to attend the eightieth birthday of the head of the Zhang family.
This birthday of the Zhang family was not rushed, but rather simple, not extravagant, and not too many people were invited. Only the Jindingmen, Li family, Fan family and more than ten people who interacted with the Zhang family on weekdays Good sects and families, as well as the remaining casual cultivators, etc., are also accustomed to associating with the Zhang family.
Zhang Pengyi told Li Qingfeng privately that this was because the opening of the Baishan Secret Realm was temporarily suspended and a big event was about to happen. There was no need to attract attention at this juncture. It would be bad if it attracted too much tax. But Li Qingfeng privately thought that this had something to do with the family tradition of the Zhang family. If it were the Fan family in Da'an County, no matter how simple it was, it would probably be much more extravagant than the Zhang family.
The head of the Zhang family of this generation is named Zhang Weiran. He has reached the seventh level of qi training and is quite tall. Even though he is eighty years old, he still has few rickets. His temples are black, his body is strong, and he speaks with full energy. It fits the word "weiran" in his name.
Li Qingfeng met Zhang Weiran under the leadership of Zhang Pengyi. He heard that Zhang Yiming, who had been rescued by Li Qingfeng, was one of his direct descendants, so he was very friendly to Li Qingfeng and naturally asked about Li Qingfeng's marriage. Li Qingfeng had been asked about this matter countless times since his rebirth. He had already experienced it. He just smiled and said that he was committed to the road and had not considered the matter for the time being. Zhang Weiran did not say more and simply chatted. After a few words, Zhang Pengyi led him to sit aside.
The only thing worth mentioning about the whole birthday is that the Zhang family agreed to the formation transaction with the Li family, and it was agreed that this year Li Qingfeng would draw five "rain-repelling formations" for the Zhang family, which is a kind of formation used to protect the spiritual field and promote The formation and materials for the growth of spiritual grass will be provided by the Zhang family, and the rest will be discussed next year. Li Qingfeng guessed that the Zhang family also had the idea of further testing and in-depth cooperation, so he agreed immediately. After all, if it were him, he would probably follow this path.
Apart from this, there was nothing special to mention about the entire birthday. After the birthday was over, Li Qingfeng said goodbye to Zhang Pengyi and others, took the Zhang family's shuttle to Da'anfang City, and flew back to Yuepan Mountain himself.
After returning from the birthday of the head of the Zhang family, he didn't delay much. He only rested for a few days, arranged the affairs of the clan, and then set off, preparing to find trouble with the big snake.
Since his trip to Chaoyin Mountain last spring, Li Qingfeng proposed to Li San that he would send people to contact several other villages surnamed Li. After all, you can't just focus on the present. If the Li family wants to expand in the future, it will not be enough to just rely on the less than 3,000 people in Lijia Village.
However, Li Qingfeng does not plan to hold immortalization ceremonies in other villages surnamed Li for the time being, otherwise he would go to those villages in person. However, although he doesn't know much about how to develop a family, he has seen the rise and fall of many sects and families in his previous life. Not many of them died due to foreign aggression, but more than 50% of them were at some point at odds with themselves. There are relationships.
The spiritual veins currently occupied by the Li family in Yuepan Mountain can only support about fifteen monks in the Qi training period, and no more than twenty people at most. There are now nine people in the Li family, and as everyone's cultivation level increases, the demand for spiritual energy will further increase. If there are a few more people with spiritual roots from other villages, how should this spiritual energy be divided?
In addition, except for Wen Hong and Wen Xiuxiang, the cultivation resources of the rest of the Li family are completely provided by Li Qingfeng. What should he do if ten more people come? If all is provided, the pressure will be greater. If only part of it is provided, wouldn't that create another conflict? Why bother?
Therefore, Li Qingfeng decided to start with the communication between mortals and let Li San and others communicate first. After they had communicated with each other first, they would then consider the issue of ascending to immortality.
Therefore, the first stop of the Li family caravan established in April this year was the village surnamed Li at the southern foot of Yuepan Mountain. The village where Li Qingfeng is located belongs to the southeast foot of Yuepan Mountain. The village at the south foot is the closest, but there are mountains and woods in the middle. The road is not easy to walk. You have to go around to the south and then turn back. Conservatively, it is not possible. It takes more than a month and a half.
It is worth mentioning that Li Qingyuan is a steward in the Li family caravan. He is older than Li Qingfeng, already in his twenties. He followed the Liu family's caravan shortly after Li Qingshi's death. Now, he has gradually grown up and is slowly able to stand on his own.
The Li family caravan set out in mid-July this year. Based on a two-month journey, it would be December when they returned. This time they bought a lot of rare things in the county from the Liu family caravan that came to Lijia Village. They also invited a few singers and opera performers to accompany them, hoping to bring back some good news.
Li Qingfeng frowned slightly and landed at the entrance of the cave.
On the way here, he discovered that the evil spirit contained in the stream had become stronger than before.
This is not an illusion. Li Qingfeng has confirmed with his spiritual consciousness that the evil spirit in the spring is indeed thicker than before. If the previous concentration of evil energy did not pose a threat to mortals at all, its current concentration can already make ordinary people become violent. , the body became worse.
Is it that giant python?
Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, sat down cross-legged, and after adjusting to the best condition, he flew up and slipped directly into the stone crack that was more than six feet long.
The cave was still so dark, and Li Qingfeng's eyes glowed with purple light, which was the "Purple Cloud Demonic Eyes". After entering the sixth level of Qi training, the power of his magical eyes has become stronger. If he waits until he reaches the foundation building stage, the "Purple Cloud Demonic Eyes" will have certain formation-breaking functions, and the effects in all aspects will be further strengthened. .
The stone pillars on the roof of the cave are still dripping with water as before, and there are dark yellow and green vines climbing on them. There are some small blue-black fruits on the plants. Li Qingfeng had brought some of these small fruits with him when he was here last time, but before anyone could check them, they all withered and turned into a small ball of gray ash. Even using the secret method he was accustomed to using to preserve spiritual herbs could not solve the problem. Therefore, he bought a jade box specially designed to store spiritual herbs from Tengyun Pavilion this time, just to see if he could preserve these small fruits.
From Li Qingfeng's point of view, this spiritual fruit is definitely not an ordinary spiritual fruit - it may not be mature yet, and it is estimated to have a certain degree of hallucination and toxicity. He would definitely not do anything like try poison. Although in his previous life, he had indeed heard about the ancient great masters who used themselves to test poison to benefit the world of immortality, but that was not him. He still took it out honestly. Let’s test it in person and see how effective it is.
