At the end of September, Li Qingfeng was on his way to Jinding Mountain.
The Jinding Sect's Immortality Conference will be held in mid-October, followed by the first internal auction and internal exchange meeting since the Jinding Mountain collegiality. Considering the distance between Yuepan Mountain and Jinding Mountain, it only takes him about half a month to Able to reach.
Since this was the first internal auction, the Jinding Sect had to bring some good things to support the occasion. Therefore, Li Qingfeng decided to attend in person. However, this time he did not bring anyone from the clan, and asked them to stay at home and practice.
In April, Li Qingfeng made an agreement with Zuo Ni from Yuguimen to help transport the ore for private sale by the Zhou family. He made the first trip in person, and it only took five days to successfully obtain the goods at the agreed location.
As he expected, the Zhou family used a mortal caravan to hide from others, but the person responsible for handing over to Zuo Ni was not Zuo Yi, but another daughter of his clan named Zuo Yuanyuan. In front of Li Qingfeng, he calculated the amount that should be paid clearly. He paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. He did things very neatly. Compared with Zuo Yi, he didn't know how much better he was.
The profit from this trip was not low, with more than 200 spirit stones, which was about the same as Li Qingfeng expected. However, the second batch of goods arrived faster than he expected, in mid-May.
On this trip, Li Qingfeng took Li Qingzhu, Li Yuming and Li Qingqing. After all, he couldn't always be busy with these things. These three people had experienced a lot with him. The youngest of them, Li Qingqing, was already fifteen years old. Li Qingfeng was relieved to leave this matter to them.
The profit from the second trip was slightly less, with only more than 160 spirit stones. However, Li Qingfeng was not in a hurry. Smuggling was a long-term matter. The profits from these two trips had exceeded 400 spirit stones. If it could be maintained, Li Qingfeng would Not only will the family's income not decrease, it is expected to increase.
The third trip was in early July. Due to the problem of the first two trips, they didn't even see the monks while traveling in the forest. Therefore, this time, Li Qingfeng directly asked Li Yuming to go alone and took the monks there. The "Forest Shoes" were given to him. Facts have proved that this transportation route is indeed very safe. Li Yuming came back with the goods eight days later without any problems, and earned more than 180 spiritual stones for the Li family.
The fourth trip was at the end of August, and the person who went there was Li Qingzhu. This time, the amount of ore was relatively large, enough to bring the Li family a profit of nearly 300 spirit stones. The fifth trip also followed, and the time was set at Early October.
According to the rotation order, it was Li Qingqing's turn for the fifth trip. It was already the end of September. Calculating the time, she was probably about to leave.
While thinking about it, Li Qingfeng flew on the boat. His consciousness sensed that there were some Qi-training monks in front of him, and he guessed in his mind that they might be disciples from the Jinding Sect who came out to patrol.
Since the Jinding Mountain collegial meeting, the Jinding Sect has sent a large number of disciples to patrol back and forth in its sphere of influence in small teams and multiple batches to fight against the monks from the Zhennan land who have poured into Dongyi. Once they find that something has happened, they will Immediately sending out a signal and passing the news back to the gate, the Jinding Gate built a number of small strongholds within its sphere of influence, in which teams of monks were stationed in rotation. Once they received news of the request for help, they would rush to support.
As he was flying, something suddenly exploded in the sky in front of him, faintly transforming into the shape of a golden tripod. At about the same time, the Qi-training monks in their spiritual consciousness seemed to have discovered Li Qingfeng, and two of them flew towards him.
Li Qingfeng stopped. He could already see the two people, both wearing the robes of Jinding Sect disciples. Seeing that he was not hostile and did not dress like Zhennan monks, the two disciples relaxed a little. One of them flew up, He took out a token and gestured, then raised his hand and said, "Jinding Sect Cai Shuangqing has met your senior. I am on patrol duty. I wonder who your senior is?"
"I am Li Qingfeng, the head of the Li family in Yuepan Mountain." Li Qingfeng did not put on any airs as a senior. He looked at the golden tripod signal in front of him and asked, "Did you send the signal? What happened?"
"It turns out to be Senior Li." Cai Shuangqing breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Li family in Yuepan Mountain was a powerful force in the collegial meeting, so he replied: "Senior, it is exactly that the signal was transmitted from the southeast. Looking at the direction, I am afraid it is Something happened to the Zhang family in Quanmingshan."
"Zhang family?" Li Qingfeng frowned: "Why don't you go to help?"
"Back to senior," Cai Shuangqing cupped his hands: "The people stationed in the south have gone. We are on patrol. We have just sent out a signal. There is a station north of here. When the people there see it, they will go to support. .”
Li Qingfeng understood what he meant. Different disciples had different tasks. The garrison team was specifically responsible for supporting, while monks like Cai Shuangqing were responsible for patrolling and did not need to go to support.
"That's right," Li Qingfeng nodded, not making things difficult for the other party, and said, "Then you patrol, I'll go south to have a look."
After that, he stopped paying attention to Cai Shuangqing, stepped on the flying boat, changed direction, and flew south.
The Zhang family in Quanmingshan is one of the few families that has close ties with the Li family. Li Qingfeng also has a good personal relationship with Zhang Pengyi, a member of the family. He plans to go and have a look both in public and private matters.
After flying for more than an hour, he saw a shuttle ahead. The shuttle was engraved with the logo of Jinding Gate. Li Qingfeng knew at a glance that this was probably the person Cai Shuangqing said was "stationed in the south and has gone to support". But to his surprise, this shuttle turned out to be an ordinary first-order manned shuttle. It was characterized by carrying a large number of people, low consumption, and slow speed. He immediately frowned in his heart. Why did the monk responsible for supporting the shuttle actually take it? Is it this kind of shuttle? If you take your time, won't you miss something important?
The monks on the shuttle also spotted Li Qingfeng and flew out to meet them. Li Qingfeng said before they could ask questions: "I am Li Qingfeng, the head of the Li family in Yuepan Mountain. Are you the team heading to Quanming Mountain to support me?"
The middle-aged monk cupped his hands, nodded and replied, "Senior Li, that's right."
"Why are you taking this kind of shuttle? What should I do if I miss something?" Li Qingfeng frowned and couldn't help thinking that in the face of this situation, the Jinding Sect's response seemed to be very slack. Is it just for this operation? Or is this the case overall?
"Senior, we will set off as soon as we receive the news. It's just that this shuttle is suitable for the sect, and we can't do anything about it." The middle-aged monk did not expect that Li Qingfeng would come up with such a tone, and hurriedly bowed his head and answered. He offended a young foundation-building monk.
Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a moment. He did not continue to ask. Instead, he used the pressure of the foundation-building monks and ordered: "The rescue is serious. Let the shuttle master go faster. Go quickly."
"Yes." The middle-aged monk did not dare to say more, nodded in agreement, turned around and ordered the monk who was driving the shuttle to move faster. Li Qingfeng stared at his back for a moment, then turned away, his expression not very good.
He had two guesses as to why these rescue monks were so slack, and no matter which one, it was not a good thing for the Li family.
