"Master, are you looking for me?"
The end of September is Liu Quan's day off. According to the rules of the sect, the deacons can have fifteen days of leave every month, allowing them to do their own thing.
Today, he was practicing in the cave, but he was called out by the guard guarding the gate of Wuyang Palace. When he heard that it was Lu Li who was looking for him, he hurried up the mountain without saying a word.
The beads of sweat on his forehead showed that he was really tired.
"Sit down." Lu Li was very satisfied with Liu Quan's attitude. After the other party sat down, he asked calmly, "Is there any result about Wen Yuxiu's matter?"
In total, it has been nine days since Wen Yuxiu left Feihe Sect. He has been busy refining water cloud stones in the past few days and has not had time to ask about this matter.
Liu Quan thought for a while and said, "I didn't go to the task hall today, but as of yesterday, no one has come to hand in the task, and I heard that the master of the door also went out and has not returned yet."
"No news yet."
Lu Li rubbed his forehead, "Okay, I know about this. Also, is there any news about the blue-grained black gold stone I asked you to help me find out last time?"
Now that all the materials for the Xunfeng Formation have been gathered, he only needs a magic weapon carving knife to start carving the formation patterns. Lu Li originally wanted to buy one at Feihemen and use it for a while, but he was disappointed. The strange thing is that Feihemen doesn't sell any knives.
Moreover, the drawings for making the carving knife were finally obtained through Liu Quancai.
This engraving knife drawing is called Qingwen Knife, and the material used is mainly Qingwen Wujin stone, which is a rare hard and tough material.
However, the runes on the blueprint were very ordinary. Lu Li planned to replace them with the runes on the Dayan Forbidden Technique. If successful, he would be able to create a top-quality magic weapon and a carving knife.
Now that we have the blueprint, the only thing missing is the blue-grained black gold stone.
Liu Quan was a little confused, "Sir, this blue-grained black gold stone is not easy to find. Of the few mineral veins we have in Feihemen, only the Suishan mine occasionally produces a few pieces, but almost all of them are dedicated to the Yuxu Palace. We didn’t leave a single piece of Feihemen behind.”
Consecrated to Yuxu Palace?
Lu Li knew that Feihe Clan was under the jurisdiction of Yuxu Palace, and most of its resources came from Yuxu Palace, just like the cultivating families attached to Feihe Clan.
Feihemen also needs to make offerings, so that they can obtain some scarce cultivation resources and get the protection of Yuxu Palace.
But in this case, this blue-grained black gold stone will not have its own share, right?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Li asked again, "Is the Tang family mining the Suishan mine?"
Liu Quan nodded, "Obviously it's the Fang family, but in fact it's the Tang family who is offering sacrifices. The Tang family..."
"When is the next confession?" Liu Quan was about to explain the relationship between the two families to Lu Li, but was interrupted by Lu Li.
"According to tradition, it should be at the end of December."
It's the end of December and it's only the end of September. Doesn't that mean that even if the Tang family gets the blue-grained black gold stone, it will still have to wait three months?
Lu Li thought for a moment, looked calm, and said, "Okay, I understand! I'm going to go out and I don't know when I will come back. Just take care of Wuyang Peak."
Also, if the owner comes back to see me, just say, I went out to find Miss Yuxiu. "
He was about to leave Feihemen. He would go to the Tang family first. If he could get the blue-grained black gold stone, he would find a place to make a carving knife and start carving the patterns of the Xunfeng Formation.
After the Xunfeng formation was completely completed, he went to Xuanyue Kingdom to explore Yunlu Mountain pointed to by the spirit beast seal.
"I understand, little one."
Liu Quan bowed and saluted, "May I ask, will the young master come back?"
Lu Li glanced at Liu Quan strangely, held his chin and thought for a while, then took out a pen and paper to write a letter and handed it to Liu Quan, "If I don't come back within five years and you don't want to stay here... .
You can go to Wushuang City and find a place called Huya Gang. Of course, the conditions there are definitely far inferior to those in Feihemen. You can make your own decision about where to go. I won't blame you. "
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Quan to answer, he hugged the little boy and left Wuyang Peak with his sword.
"What a difficult choice."
Liu Quan held the letter and looked at the sky, looking very troubled. After a long time, he sighed again, "That's it, think about it slowly. Don't you still have five years to think about it?"
The five years Lu Li mentioned naturally refers to the Wenyuntai trial five years later.
In any case, he will return to Xingyun Mansion in five years. As for whether he will return to Feihemen, it is not certain.
...
Jiuqu Mountain.
Tang family.
Ever since Tang Ying became the second elder of Feihe Clan, the Tang family's life has been smoother. Not only did they take the Suishan Mine from the Fang family, they also controlled more than 30% of the shops in Tongyun City.
The population is prosperous and full of vitality.
Moreover, the Tang family is even more lively today.
"This kid really doesn't know how to live or die. He dares to sneak into the warehouse and steal the spirit stone! If you ask me, beating him to death is not an exaggeration."
"Yes, I heard that this guy is a bastard. If the master of the family hadn't been kind, he would have been killed by the second master long ago. I didn't expect that he actually raised a white-eyed wolf. It's really not worth it for the master of the family."
"Bastard? Who did you listen to?"
"Hey, who said that? No one in the entire Tang family knows that this guy is the second master's personal bodyguard Tang Qing and the second master..."
"Shh! You don't want your life, but you dare to say this."
"..."
On the edge of Tangjia Square, under a shade of trees, a group of servants were sitting together, pointing and talking in low voices.
The object of their discussion was the young man in black who was hanging in the air with his hands tied under the scorching sun in the center of the square.
The boy looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. His whole body was covered with blood marks from whips, and flies were flying from time to time on the overturned flesh, which made people feel frightened and uncomfortable.
The young man had been hanging for an unknown amount of time. The area above his wrists had completely turned purple due to poor blood circulation. There was no trace of blood on his drooping face. His chapped lips and empty eyes looked in danger.
Within the main hall.
Tang Hu, who was wearing a dark gold robe, was sitting in the main seat. He looked at the young man in black who was hung up in the square from a distance, sighed, then looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face on the right, and persuaded:
"Second brother, why don't you vent your anger? He is gifted after all. If he can be cultivated, he will definitely become the mainstay of our Tang family."
Tang Feng clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Tang family, Tang family, have you ever thought about my feelings! It's been nine years, and I can't stand it anymore! This time, I will torture him to death, and no one will It can’t be stopped...!”
Tang Feng became more and more crazy as he talked.
Suddenly he laughed ferociously, "Bitch, have you seen it? This is what you will get for betraying me. Your son has a good talent, but so what, if I want him to die, he must die - haha Ha ha...."
