Li Tongya saw that this man's face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the jade cup in his hand, and whispered:
"Wan is withdrawn by nature and doesn't like to talk much. I just look familiar to you, but where have I seen you?"
The monk wearing animal skin clothing had slender eyebrows and dark complexion. He carried a short bow behind his back and a series of large and small yellow gourds hanging from his waist. He had a fifth level of Qi training. He bowed his hands respectfully and smiled. road:
"The younger one is from Jiachuan County under the rule of Qingchi. Jiachuan is adjacent to Valley Hunting. He once sold a few oakworms to his senior at the foot of Guanyun Peak. He was still young at that time and his appearance was quite different from today's. Senior only knows now Not me."
"Oh it's you!"
Li Tongya suddenly realized that at that time, this man was still a young boy with a timid appearance. When talking about business, Li Tongya made him speechless. Now he has become a middle-aged man with a weathered look. Li Tongya nodded slightly and answered. road:
"Your Wu Zhasong is really good. He once helped me with a little help."
So he stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down at the other end of the desk. The neighbor Gu Lie was immediately overjoyed, bowed his hands respectfully, and took his seat with some restraint, with a look of envy on his face, and replied:
"Senior's cultivation is really fast. In just over thirty years, he actually achieved Immortal Foundation! This junior is so envious."
Li Tongya chuckled and nodded noncommittally. He had bought some things in Guanyun Fengfang City, and Lingu Lie was just one of them. Later, he also met Xu Yangping and his wife, and finally died in the snake cave at the hands of Zhang Yun.
Remembering Zhang Yun, the unruly young man appeared in front of Li Tongya. As a direct disciple of the Jinyu Sect, one of the three sects, he must have successfully established the foundation long ago and practiced many Jinyu secret techniques. Li Tongya could also use Li Chijing's legacy when practicing Qi. He used his sword technique to fight with a big-tailed wolf, but now he may no longer be his opponent.
After withdrawing his mind, Li Tongya looked at the cautious middle-aged man in front of him and asked:
"These oakworms are good, but they reproduce too slowly. When my family was still a small tribe, they were still a helper. Now, more than thirty years later, they have only given birth to a few. It's just that the first few eat a lot more. , it can’t be cultivated by having more children, it’s a bit useless.”
Lingu Lie paused for a moment, opened his mouth, seemed to be organizing his words, and said with some hesitation:
"This female oakworm, in my neighbor Gu's family, has a daughter insect. She may give birth to one or two as a solitary mother for more than ten years due to the spiritual energy, but there will not be a large number of births..."
"Oh? It was Wan who was offended!"
Li Tongya had already made some guesses, but he never thought that Wu Zhachong was really a guy who ate at Neighbor Valley's house. He gently apologized, causing Neighbor Valley Hunter to avoid the table in fear. Li Tongya then said seriously:
"I wonder if my brother can sell me a few more. This thing is quite useful."
"Of course it's not a problem!"
Lingu Lie cupped his fists, took off a wooden gourd from his waist, and replied:
"I don't have any live insects, I only have forty eggs in this gourd. If you are willing to have them, senior, I can give you ten spiritual stones at a discount."
After all, Li Tongya is now a foundation-building monk. Lin Guxie has a low attitude and does not dare to increase the price. It is even cheaper than when he bought it for Li Tongya. Li Tongya nodded slightly and asked:
"How to hatch?"
"Cover it with moist rice leaves or straw, keep it away from light and fire, sprinkle it with clean water every day, change it every three days, and it will hatch in less than fifteen days."
Lingu Lie explained in detail, gently cupped his hands, and replied with a guarantee:
"This oakworm is tenacious and is the easiest to survive. If it fails to hatch, take the insect carcass to your neighbor Gu's house, and my family will pay for the few that die."
The hunter in the neighboring valley is not stupid at all. He claims to be sure, but he won't stop until he sees insect corpses, just in case someone hides insect eggs and makes money from them.
Li Tongya nodded lightly, pointed out ten spirit stones and gave them to him easily. Lingu Lie was overjoyed. Ten spirit stones were already all the working capital for ordinary Qi training, and a foundation-building monk couldn't just give them to him. , Li Tongya has the backing of his family, so he can still easily take out ten spiritual stones after spending two hundred spiritual stones at the Baroya.
Taking the gourd, Li Tongya said softly:
"A nobleman is good at raising insects and snakes? Please explain something to Wan, so that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"okay!"
Neighbor Valley Lie nodded repeatedly and said respectfully:
"My family is also from an aristocratic family in Jiachuan County. Our ancestors were great monks of the Shanyue Clan. Later, the Qingchi Sect expanded southward. My ancestors joined the sect. They worked diligently and left many connections, so they were able to sit firmly among the great families in Jiachuan County. century."
Li Tongya nodded slightly, which solved a doubt in his heart, and thought to himself:
"I said this surname in Lingu is unheard of. It turns out to be the Shanyue tribe. No wonder it is like this."
Looking at the hairy skin and dark eyes of Lin Guxue, he looked like a Shanyue. He opened his mouth and showed his big white teeth, and said in a deep voice:
"Although my family is a descendant of Shanyue, we are still monks of the Golden Alchemy Way of Zi Mansion. We have only inherited the insect and snake techniques from our ancestors, which are among the best in the entire Yue Kingdom."
Lingu Lie looked a little more proud and continued:
"There are also rules in the family. Each lineage must have someone traveling around the world to collect all kinds of venomous snakes and insects. Therefore, my uncle and I have been running around in Mushroom Plains and Lixia County for decades, and we have a fate with our predecessors."
"It turns out to be a wealthy family! No wonder my brother speaks tactfully, advances and retreats in a measured manner, and is quite magnanimous."
Li Tongya cupped his hands and praised a few words, making his neighbor Gu Lie laugh. Li Tongya asked again:
"How many great families such as the nobles can have a long-lasting prosperity, the Qingike Sect?"
"not much!"
Lingu came from a hunting family and knew many secrets, so he spoke eloquently:
"Qingchi rises from the north, and several real people from the top of the Zifu have emerged. They have integrated the forces in the south and formed the Thirty-six Peaks. Therefore, the north is full of chaotic small families, and the south is full of aristocratic families, witch temples, and casual cultivators. , these aristocratic families have deep entanglements with the Qingchi Sect, and they have been standing firm for hundreds of years."
"oh."
Li Tongya just turned around in his mind and understood the intention of the Qingchi Sect. There were many mountains and witchcraft in the south, and tribes were established instead of families. The Qingchi Sect absorbed these people, transferred some of their rights, and easily conquered the entire south. Take control.
This trick is also being played by the Li family in Dongshan, but it has just begun. Although Mori is obedient, he still has his own dissatisfaction. In a few decades, if his heir with the blood of the Li family comes to power, then So he obeyed from the bottom of his heart, and then controlled Dongshanyue with the Li clan of the heir's maternal line, and Dongshanyue became a place of restraint.
After coming back to his senses, Li Tongya nodded slightly and used his magic power to speak:
"If you have been to Wangyue Lake, you can come to Lijing Mountain to have a rest. We will welcome you there."
Neighbor Gu Lie looked overjoyed. Although he was a child of a noble family, he had been exiled for decades and was helpless. He had long been far away from the political center of his family. Now that he could become a foundation-building monk, he was naturally overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Li Tongya picked up the cup and sipped silently. He was speechless for more than ten breaths. Neighbor Gu Lie understood immediately and resigned. Li Tongya turned around to look at the monks at the end. However, they had already become red-faced and lost face. He chuckled softly. With a sound, he put the cup down, and the monks were so shocked that they put out the fire, sat down obediently, and talked to each other in low voices.
Although Li Tongya was chatting with his neighbor Gu Lie, he kept paying attention to the masters above him. The master Shangyuan who was wearing a sword just raised his glass and disappeared from the seat. He was the only one from the Xiuyue Sect. Shangyuan was the only one who came. As soon as the real person left, the entire seat became empty.
When Master Shangyuan left, all the masters above him drank two symbolic drinks and then cast spells and left. Only two Masters who seemed to be from the Zifu Immortal Clan smiled and chatted with Xiao Chuting. Soon after he also said goodbye and left, Xiao Chuting disappeared. The remaining disciples of the three sects and seven sects immediately lost their restraint and most of them left directly. The remaining ones were either talking loudly or drawing swords to compete, creating a lively scene.
Li Tongya paid special attention to the old boy Ling Yanzi. He never stopped talking since he got to the seat. He kept stuffing stuff in his mouth, opening and closing his mouth in a squealing manner, and did not talk to the people around him until he had swept away everything in front of him. It was empty, even the plates were clean, and he looked eagerly at the desk next to him.
Next to him was a fairy from the Purple Smoke Sect, who interrupted his movements unceremoniously. Lingyanzi smiled awkwardly and had to sit there blankly and drink wine, looking so lonely.
"Ling Yanzi... he's not that good at Ziyanmen... he looks like he's living a miserable life."
Li Tongya shook his head and doubted whether he could still take out hundreds of spirit stones from Lingyanzi's storage bag.
Li Tongya waited for more than ten breaths, and finally saw Ling Yanzi couldn't sit still, and rode the wind to go outside the formation. Li Tongya quickly followed the formation, and then he saw Ling Yanzi turning his head intelligently, with his white beard fluttering. , said in a deep voice:
"Who dares to peep at my tail?"
Li Tongya appeared, chuckled lightly, and replied:
"Senior Lingyanzi, I haven't seen you for many years, but do you still remember me?"
"you……"
Ling Yanzi looked shocked, uttered a word, and quickly swallowed the words that followed. He had also lived for a hundred years. With a thought, he knew that Li Tongya didn't want to leave traces of what happened back then, so he called himself Wan. exclaimed:
"This Li Tongya is so damn cautious!"
Ling Yanzi thought in his mind and said with a wry smile:
"I haven't seen Brother Wan for many years..."
"Senior, can you please have a few drinks with me?"
Li Tongya asked with a smile, Lingyanzi had no choice but to nod, and he and Li Tongya returned to the formation, and found a seat at the end of the table to sit down together. Lingyanzi then reacted belatedly and said in surprise:
"You actually built a foundation?!"
Li Tongya nodded, Lingyanzi exclaimed and whispered:
"Congratulations to Brother Wan!"
"Congratulations!"
Ling Yanzi is now also a foundation-building monk. Li Tongya congratulated him and said with a smile:
"I've had a hard time waiting for news from my senior."
Ling Yanzi was greatly embarrassed for a moment, laughed dryly, and explained in a low voice:
"I was waiting for all the trophies to be exchanged for spiritual stones, but when I saw the foundation building in sight, I couldn't help but sell them into elixirs to break through the foundation building... But I was so untrustworthy with this life-saving grace. It's really... hard to say
exit!"
"oh."
Li Tongya nodded. He could also understand Lingyanzi's approach. Almost no one could resist this temptation. If he, Li Tongya, were in this situation, he would not hesitate to use the spirit stone to break through first. After the breakthrough was successful,
Thinking again about replenishing these spiritual stones, he said warmly:
"Senior, don't worry too much. If you are in a different place, Wan will choose to break through. This is human nature."
Ling Yanzi sighed lowly, his eyes were slightly moist, and he was quite moved, and he replied:
"Brother Wan is reasonable, Lingyan admires..."
He took a sip of wine and then continued:
"I have been frugal over the years. On one hand, I have to maintain the expenses within the peak, and on the other hand, I have to maintain my own cultivation. I have saved the rest. I, I..."
Ling Yanzi took out the magic sword on his waist, put the white magic sword on the table with the magic light flowing, and said sincerely:
"Lingyan still uses Qi-training level magic weapons so far, just to get these spiritual stones for Brother Wan!"
Li Tongya nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his intentions. He felt sad, funny and bitter at the same time, and thought to himself:
"What are the three sects and seven sects? This is the three sects and seven sects. I, the Li family's fetal breath monk, use mortal instruments. Only Qi training monks can use the fetal breath magic weapon. As the only foundation-building monk of the Li family, besides
The Qing Chi Sword on the back is still a qi-training weapon, but in Lingyanzi’s opinion, it’s already so painful for a foundation-building monk to use a qi-training weapon!”
Seeing Ling Yanzi's eyes full of tears, Li Tongya could also feel his grievance. Although it was difficult to empathize with him, his face showed just the right amount of emotion, and he said in a deep voice:
"Senior, don't be impatient. Wan can take this spiritual stone anytime. There is no need to wrong yourself like this!"
Ling Yanzi nodded with deep feeling, wiped his old face, and said:
"The Lingyan Kung Fu is special. You have to drink spiritual wine and take spiritual things from time to time. Otherwise, your mouth will become dry and your cultivation will stagnate. At worst, your cultivation will go crazy and your cultivation will regress. If it weren't for such an unspeakable secret, Lingyan would also
No more running around every day!”
"There is such a technique!"
Li Tongya paused and marveled secretly. Only three sects and seven sects could afford such a technique. Looking at Lingyanzi's expression of sadness and anger, Li Tongya seemed to be able to understand why his popularity in Ziyan Sect was so poor. He
He smiled awkwardly and asked:
"I wonder how many spiritual stones the senior has accumulated for so long?"
These words immediately made Ling Yanzi lower his head, and he said awkwardly like a child despite his age:
"Twenty spiritual stones..."
Li Tongya was speechless for a moment, but he didn't want to let him go so easily. He raised his hand, took the spirit stone reluctantly handed over by Ling Yanzi without mercy, and whispered:
"It's better than this. Senior still has something to trade for as a spiritual stone, so senior doesn't have to be frugal every year."
"this……"
Ling Yanzi was very excited for a moment, hesitantly thought for a few moments, took off the storage bag, poured out a piece of items, and replied:
"Except for the Purple Smoke Spiritual Shield, the secret treasure of our sect and the inheritance of our peak, Brother Wan, feel free to pick out the rest!"
