At that time, the Xuanyue Kingdom was in a mess, and there were no practitioners left. Because of this, Yi Qing easily established a sect in today's Spirit Beast Mountain.
Although Spirit Beast Mountain was not strong at that time, fortunately, there were no powerful enemies to peep at it. While taking care of the sect's affairs, Yi Qing went out to find suitable seedlings to continue the incense of Spirit Beast Mountain.
Finally, when his life was about to end, he found a person with good talent and absolute reliability. That person was Shen Hong and Xie Zian's master, Li Qishui.
Li Qishui's life experience was rough, his parents died at the hands of rogue bandits, and Yi Qing also saved him from the sword of rogue bandits, so he has always been grateful to Yi Qing.
Under Yi Qing's careful cultivation, Li Qishui broke through to foundation building in just twenty years, and reached the peak of foundation building in another fifty years.
But at this moment, Yi Qing's longevity finally came to an end.
On his deathbed, Yi Qing entrusted the position of headmaster to Li Qishui, hoping that he could inherit his legacy, retrieve the other half of the Spirit Beast Seal, and revive the glory of the Spirit Beast Palace.
However, things didn't go that smoothly.
After Yi Qing's death, in addition to Li Qishui, there were several peak foundation-building masters in Spirit Beast Mountain at that time. They were not willing to let Li Qishui become the leader of Spirit Beast Mountain.
So they jointly forced Li Qishui to give up his position as head coach.
Li Qishui had no choice but to retreat and save his life. He temporarily left Spirit Beast Mountain and secretly developed his own power outside.
After fifty years of forbearance, Li Qishui finally achieved some success and entered the golden elixir stage. At the same time, his power also developed to a certain extent, and he led the crowd to counterattack Spirit Beast Mountain.
At this time, the Spiritual Beast Mountain had become divided among the heroes due to the indifference of the top foundation building peaks. It was falling apart and had no appearance of a sect. Li Qishui took it down with almost no effort.
He worked hard to put Spirit Beast Mountain on the right track.
After that, he spent more than five hundred years peacefully and trained several good apprentices, including Xie Changan and Shen Hong.
It is a pity that Li Qishui has been busy with trivial matters in the sect, but he has failed to achieve success in cultivation. He has wasted his talent in vain. He is still in the late stage of Jindan at the age of more than 700 years.
But at this time, the other three major forces of Xuanyue Kingdom also showed their strength. For unknown reasons, they suddenly united and launched a siege on Spirit Beast Mountain.
Li Qishui was unwilling to abandon Spirit Beast Mountain again, so he entrusted Spirit Beast Mountain to Shen Hong and Xie Changan, and then led two Jindan elders to fight against the six Jindan opponents.
After a battle.
The other two golden elixir masters in Spirit Beast Mountain were defeated, so they had no choice but to self-destruct, seriously injuring four of them.
Although Li Qishui's cultivation level was the highest, he was still exhausted after repeated consumption. Seeing that his opponent refused to retreat, he finally made up his mind and blew himself up together with his battle beast.
This self-destruction took away three people in an instant!
The remaining three people were seriously injured and dying. They didn't dare to stay any longer. They turned around and ran away. The remaining three sect disciples also dispersed when they saw this.
Xie Chang'an and Shen Hong were filled with grief and anger, and immediately led the crowd to pursue and kill them. After the first battle, they killed the disciples of the three sects to the point where they cried for their fathers and mothers. There was no one left out of ten, and the power of the three sects was completely reduced.
After that, Spirit Beast Mountain fell into the hands of Shen Hong and Xie Changan.
After several rounds of fighting outside and inside, and working hard to improve the situation, Spirit Beast Mountain is on the right track again.
This has continued for hundreds of years, until now, Spirit Beast Mountain has firmly sat on the throne of the Xuanyue Kingdom's number one force. As for the previous three sects, they have long become history.
...
Therefore, Xie Changan felt very chilled by Shen Hong's current actions.
However, since he was ordered by the same master, he naturally would not let Spirit Beast Mountain fall into disintegration again, and would just sulk alone. Now that he had spoken out, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"I didn't expect that Spirit Beast Mountain would have such a past." Lu Li secretly sighed. The vitality of Spirit Beast Mountain is really tenacious. Even several life-and-death crises failed to destroy it.
At the same time, he also understood why Xie Changan was so lost.
After working hard to build a kingdom together, but later being squeezed out by his most trusted junior brother, no one would feel good, right?
"Actually, it's good not to be the Great Elder. In this way, the old man who teaches him will no longer think of ways to deal with the master?" Chu Xiang consoled him.
Xie Changan said lovingly, "That's true, but from now on, you won't have so many cultivation resources."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "It's just a lack of basic resources. We can earn it ourselves."
Seeing that Chu Xiang was so sensible, Xie Changan was immediately relieved. He nodded with a smile, looked at Lu Li, and said relaxedly: "My little friend, you are well rested, I will leave first. If you need anything, you can come to see me at Taiheng Hall at any time. I no longer have to deal with the trivial matters of the sect, but I have a lot of extra time."
Lu Li nodded, "Senior, walk slowly."
Immediately, Chu Xiang also said goodbye to Lu Li, saying that she would visit him in a few days, and then left with Xie Changan.
After the two of them left, Lu Li slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed his brows, and then turned over and got out of bed. As his true energy surged, his tattered clothes immediately became as clean as new.
The little boy had been lying in the corner of the room. When he saw Lu Li getting up, he quickly ran over and gently scratched the upper of Lu Li's shoes with his paws, then pointed at himself and sucked at him at the same time. His behavior was very strange.
Lu Li smiled slightly, took out a blood bead as big as the mouth of a bowl and threw it to the little one, "Eat it."
He had previously planned to find an opportunity to help the little one find some blood essence, but now it seemed that he wouldn't need it in the short term, because the blood beads on the second floor had already piled up, enough for the little one to eat for a long time.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to find out the location of Yunlu Mountain as soon as possible. Obtaining the Demon Soul Contract is the main thing.
But, who is more appropriate to ask?
Xie Changan definitely can't do it. Although this person is no longer the Great Elder, he is focused on Spirit Beast Mountain. There is no guarantee that he will not find clues and force himself to hand over the Spirit Beast Seal.
It's not like Lu Li has never thought about leaving a copy of the Demon Soul Contract to Spirit Beast Mountain.
But after experiencing the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower, Lu Li immediately changed his mind. If the Demonic Soul Pact was returned to the hands of the Spiritual Beast Mountain, and with Shen Hong and his group's ambition to regain the Spiritual Beast Palace, there would be no guarantee that the disaster from two thousand years ago would not happen again.
Although he is not a person who cares about the world and sacrifices himself for others, he does not want innocent mortals to be stained with blood because of the Spirit Beast Palace.
After thinking about it, Lu Li felt that it would be better to start with Ning Fan and the others. As for who to look for, it all depends on fate.
The next day, early morning.
The cool morning mist filled the Agarwood Valley.
In the courtyard, Lu Li was leaning on a stone chair with his feet on the stone table, leisurely holding a booklet and reading it slowly. The words "Notes on Taming Beasts" were written on the cover.
It was one of the introductory manuals given by Ning Fan when he first started.
Lu Li was just passing the time to look around, but he never thought that the more he looked, the more interested he became, and the more he looked, the more novel he felt...
