Xiao Chuchou's words were gentle, but Li Tongya was shocked. His mind was spinning rapidly. He looked at the old man's smiling face and said respectfully:
"The two families have been in contact for so many years. Tongya still knows a little about the situation of the nobles. The ancestor of Chuting has taken good care of Tongya. This junior is very grateful."
Seeing that he was vague in his words, Xiao Chuchou mentioned Xiao Chuting again. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he mentioned it euphemistically. He nodded and said softly:
"Then I don't need to say anything more. Your family and I rely on each other. If you become Zhuji in the future, send someone to my Xiao family to inform you that the two families will get married so that they can support each other."
Xiao Chuchou's words were straightforward. Li Tongya had a steady temperament and was Li Chijing's elder brother. He was favored by Xiao Chuting for his advice and had a good relationship with Xiao Yongling. They had exchanged letters over the years. The Xiao family
Only then did he feel relieved.
If Li Tongya succeeds in building the foundation, the Li family will have the capital to support the Xiao family. If he fails to establish the foundation, his body and soul will disappear, and the relationship between the two families will end with the personal relationship between Xiao Yuansi and Li Chijing.
Li Tongya heard what he said and was overjoyed. He was a pragmatic person, and he never felt unfamiliar because of Xiao Chuchou's words, so he thought to himself:
"The Xiao family now has Xiao Chuting as a monk in the Zifu. Xiao Chu is in the middle stage of foundation building. There are three other monks in the late stage of foundation building, and five monks in the early stage of the middle stage of foundation building. It is already the most powerful family among the three sects and seven sects. Only Ling
The Yu family in Haijun County, the Chen family in Yuyang County and several other families can compare with it."
"Even if the Xiao family will soon break away from the Qingchi Sect and become the Zifu Immortal Clan, they will not be allowed to cross the Qingchi Sect and interfere in matters on Wangyue Lake at will, but after all, they are a strong support. The Xiao family also needs my family to serve as a barrier on Wangyue Lake to circulate pills on Wangyue Lake.
Medicine and magic weapons are mutually beneficial to each other, so naturally it is excellent."
Li Tongya then cupped his hands with a solemn expression. He didn't know the Xiao family's plan in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Thanks to our ancestors' high hopes! My Li family will definitely serve as a barrier for the nobles and guard Wangyue Lake."
"Where are these words!"
Xiao Chuchou chuckled, nodded repeatedly, quickly helped Li Tongya up, took his hand with a smile, and an old voice sounded in the courtyard, whispering gently:
"It's just about supporting each other, you're welcome."
Li Tongya was polite for a while, and they sat down again. Xiao Chuchou and Xiao Chuchou talked about some recent events, and their tone became calmer. The time between them became longer. Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Tongya quickly used his magic power to transmit the message. Li Xuanxuan was outside the door.
After receiving the news, he slowly walked into the courtyard and handed over four jade boxes.
"Junior, there are four spiritual plants here. I would like to ask senior to take a look at them."
Li Tongya murmured something warmly, and Xiao Yuansi put down the tea bowl. He had excellent alchemy skills. He took the jade box and took a look at it and understood everything clearly. He said softly:
"The four spiritual objects of yours are all common in Qi training spiritual objects. Judging from the pill formulas I have mastered, three of them can only be used as auxiliary materials, and one is the main medicine."
"If you are trustworthy, sell the auxiliary medicine to my family, and give me the main medicine to refine the elixir. I will share it as usual. After the elixir is completed, I will have someone send it to the nobles."
Li Tongya was naturally waiting for Xiao Yuansi's words, cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'll be troublesome, senior!"
After handing the four jade boxes to Xiao Yuansi's hands, Xiao Yuansi explained the functions and values of the four elixirs one by one, and named twenty spirit stones as the reward for the three auxiliary medicines. After chatting for a while, the two stood up.
Say goodbye and go to Xiao's house.
The two of them jumped out of the formation, said goodbye to Li Tongya, and flew in the wind for some time. Then Xiao Chuchou said:
"Yuan Si, Ru Lian is already nineteen years old, how about letting her marry into the Li family?"
Xiao Yuansi thought about it for a while and replied in a low voice:
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If it's a marriage, you should marry someone of Li Jiayuan's generation. Rulian and Xuan's generation are of the same generation. Li Jiaxuan's generation already has a wife. Marrying to Yuan's generation will mess up the seniority. I'm afraid I'll have to start from the same generation.
Pick someone from the Gui generation."
Xiao Chuchou nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Then let's go back to Luan. He happens to be still young. He has waited a few years for Li Tongya to break through and build the foundation, and the time has come."
————
Li Pingyi now has a thick beard on his lips, and he is still in his youth. He shook his sleeves seriously, stepped into the courtyard, nodded towards his wife who came up to him, and saw his wife whispering:
"My husband has come at the right time. I am looking for you and my aunt has been waiting for a long time."
Li Pingyi hurriedly entered the courtyard after hearing this, and saw Li Feiruo sitting on the side with a smile on her face. She had put on the ordinary clothes of an Easterner. She no longer looked as graceful and luxurious as when she was in the mountain. She looked gentler and said with a smile:
"Yi'er is really busy. It's not easy to meet you."
Li Pingyi smiled awkwardly and replied:
"I have already asked the young master about my aunt's request."
"oh?"
Li Feiruo suddenly became energetic and listened carefully, then she saw Li Pingyi said with a smile:
"Auntie, you know the affairs of Shanyue. The young family master has considered it carefully and sent you to Lichuankou in the far west to take charge of the affairs of a town, trade with Shanyue, and control the refugees from Shanyue from crossing the border. My aunt is the best at this, and will not leave.
In three days, we will get news of the transfer."
"So good."
Li Feiruo was quite happy and whispered:
"Thanks to the family's trust, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."
Li Feiruo entered Shanyue when she was just a teenager. She acted decisively and had the temperament to take care of things. She couldn't stand it when she was asked to calm down and take care of her husband and children. Now that she had something to do, she was eager to figure out the situation.
Li Pingyi chatted with her for a while, then a clan soldier hurriedly came up and whispered a few words in Li Pingyi's ear.
"Sir, there is news from the mine. A treasure was dug out of the cave. Master Xu went to the mine and brought it back secretly."
Li Pingyi raised his eyebrows, with a bit of surprise in his expression. Seeing this, Li Feiruo smiled softly and withdrew politely. Li Pingyi was discharged from the hospital politely, and then turned around and asked:
"Xu Gongming is also a monk at the third level of fetal breath. He can't identify what kind of spiritual object it is, but he can't even identify its approximate grade?"
The clan soldier shook his head and replied:
"Master Xu only said that the aura in it is vast and definitely not at the level of fetal breath."
"Where's the stuff?"
Li Pingyi asked, and the soldier replied:
"Master Xu is waiting outside the courtyard, and he has brought the orb with him."
"Yes, come with me to see the young master."
Li Pingyi led people out of the courtyard. His side courtyard was built next to the clan's main courtyard. He just walked on the bluestone road for a short time before entering the clan's main courtyard. He took the wooden box from Xu Gongming's hand and walked alone across the front hall and the courtyard.
In the middle hall, through the dimly lit corridor, Li Yuanxiu was sitting at the top, holding a wooden slip and reading carefully.
"Young Master."
Li Pingyi presented the wooden box with both hands and explained the causes and consequences one by one. After hearing this, Li Yuanxiu nodded and said softly:
"Bring it here and let me take a look."
Li Pingyi opened the box and took out a dark and translucent orb, about the size of a fist. Li Yuanxiu stretched out his hand to take it, only to feel that his hand was slightly numb and slightly dropped. He looked at it for a while and found no clues, so he raised his eyebrows.
asked:
"I'm afraid it's a qi-training spirit. Uncle Qiuyang and Uncle Donghe have both gone to Huaqian Mountain, and I don't know if my father has gone into seclusion..."
"On the contrary, the senior foundation builder of the Xiao family just came to visit this morning and left just now. My uncle must not have been in seclusion."
Li Yuanxiu lifted the orb in one fell swoop and said warmly:
"I will send the spiritual object to my uncle later and ask him to take a look."
