Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 44
It had been snowing for three days, silver-gray snowflakes were raging in the air, every house was closed tightly, and the weather was completely cold. Li Tongya cleaned up the small courtyard in Lijing Village and handed it over to Li Qiuyang to take care of him, and took Liu Rouxuan to Li Jingshan.

Stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Liu Rouxuan put on a light gray long fur, held Li Tongya's hand with a smile, and chirped:

"Brother Tongya, let's get married in spring."

"it is good."

Li Tongya stroked the snow off her shoulders, smiled slightly and tilted the umbrella in his hand slightly, shaking off the snowflakes on the umbrella surface, and leaned the umbrella on Liu Rouxuan's body.

Lijing Mountain is not high, Li Tongya led Liu Rouxuan through the fog deposited at the foot of the mountain, and stepped on the snow-covered stone road to the front of the courtyard.

After entering the room, he saw Tian Yun sitting in front of the stove with Mao Qiu in his arms and smiling, his face was slightly red, when they saw Li Tongya, they called out:
"Second brother and second sister-in-law."

Li Tongya responded with a smile, and Liu Rouxuan was very open-minded when facing this brother and sister who was five or six years older than her, snickering at the stove and discussing with Tian Yun in a low-key manner.

Li Xiangping went down early in the morning to pour spiritual rain on the rice fields. At the moment, he was practicing in the backyard. Li Tongya took off his coat and hung it on the wall. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Ren who was sewing silently, and said softly:

"Where's father?"

"The old man is lethargic in winter and is still in the house."

Ren raised her eyes and smiled, seeing Tian Yun by the stove waving her hands, she put down the fabric in her hands and sat down together, and asked Liu Rouxuan in a low voice with a smile.

Li Mutian widened the skylight by himself yesterday, and was busy until late at night, and now he is still asleep in the house. Li Tongya stared blankly at the snow covering the entire mountain outside the window, and said silently in his heart:

"It would be great if the elder brother was still here..."

----

From winter to spring, last year was prosperous. In spring, there was little rain and no drought. In autumn, it was dry and not waterlogged. No one froze to death.

The second batch of spiritual rice planted in Lijing Village the previous year has also matured. The spiritual rice was harvested, the skins were peeled and the bran was removed, and 170 catties of spiritual rice and 290 catties of spiritual rice bran were obtained. Including the spiritual rice harvested earlier, the total was [-] catties. Ling rice, ninety catties of Ling rice, two hundred catties of Ling rice for the offering is enough.

With the addition of Li Qiuyang and Liu Rouxuan, Li Tongya and Li Xiangping were much more relaxed, and they could devote more energy to cultivation by entrusting many spiritual fields to them to take care of.

The Baiyuanguo plant also bloomed, and its branches bloomed white and pink. Li Tongya estimated that the Baiyuanguo would be ripe in a few months, and it would not be late for the day when the envoy of the Qingchi Sect came to collect the offerings.

Li Tongya had just cast the spiritual rain, but Wan Tiancang entered the yard with a sad face, and complained to Li Tongya:

"That Ji Dengqi came across the boundary with his face masked late at night yesterday, and attacked many spiritual fields of my Wanjia. The spiritual rice at the foot of the mountain was burned in all likelihood, many mortals died, and he was almost attacked by Hua Qian. Mountain."

"Fortunately, my family's host is alert, and he was always on guard during the ripening period of the spiritual rice, and was in the formation in time. That Ji Dengqi led people to besiege all night, and then retreated angrily at dawn."

Li Tongya put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said in surprise:

"The nobleman's formation is really powerful. It can hold the monks during the Qi training period and siege them all night."

Wan Tiancang waved his hand, smiled bitterly and said:

"It's just a coincidence. My Wanjia produced a formation master 200 years ago. He built this formation with the help of a spiritual spring on Huaqian Mountain. As long as the spiritual spring continues, this formation can continuously restore the spiritual energy."

"What a powerful formation!"

Li Tongya couldn't help praising, and thought to himself:
"The formations on Lijing Mountain in my family are much inferior in comparison, but Xiao Yuansi once said that if you encounter a better formation, you can still use the formation flag to arrange it! It's just a pity that my family has no formation inheritance..."

Wan Tiancang cast a low glance at Li Tongya, saw his pensive expression, and continued:
"It's a pity that he was so arrogant and arrogant that he hastily tried to refine the Daoist foundation and fell on Huaqian Mountain."

"Practice Daoji?"

Li Tongya couldn't help feeling sorry for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"But he is also a senior at the peak of Qi training."

"Hey……"

Wan Tiancang let out a long sigh, and said longingly:

"That was the most glorious era of my Wanjia. There were five qi practitioners in my family. The ancestor died for more than ten years, and the family lost three painstakingly managed mountain peaks, and four qi practitioners died in battle. The ten fetuses, if they didn't have some connections in the sect, their families would have been ruined long ago."

"Later the elders left one by one. The one in the sect just kept the blood of the Wan family and no longer took care of the affairs. After that, the next generation was not as good as the previous generation, but at least it survived. It was not until the Patriarch broke through the Yujinglun more than ten years ago that he could open the door. The storage bags handed down by the ancestors found that there were only a few spirit stone talismans left, and there was no help left."

"I see."

Li Tongya sighed deeply, he refilled the tea bowl in front of Wan Tiancang, and seeing him sigh, he spoke a few words of comfort in a low voice.

Wan Tiancang took a sip of tea, slammed the table hard, and said angrily:
"I hate the Ji family. Back then, my Wan family was constantly fighting with the Yu family in the north. The Ji family was just a small family in the cracks, not even a qi cultivator. Now that they have a lot of money, they have grown to such an extent that it almost kills me. Wanjia is driven to a desperate situation."

Looking at Li Tongya, Wan Tiancang asked again in a low voice:
"I don't know who is the adult in your family?"

Li Tongya understood that Wan Tiancang was referring to Li Mutian, so he immediately became vigilant. Fortunately, the two brothers had already adjusted their tone and drank a sip of tea and said:
"My father ran away from home in the early years and served as a soldier on the Guli Road. He followed General Na Yang to attack Shanyue."

"Tiancang has heard a little bit that Yang Tianya built his foundation and led his troops to attack that Shanyue to the east, and many people died."

Wan Tiancang moved the tea bowl, and said suspiciously:

"But I heard that your father was a mortal when he returned..."

Li Tongya gave a wry smile and explained:
"My father got the guidance of an immortal cultivator at home, and he became a Qi practitioner. He also got a chance during the military campaign and trained an immortal foundation. As for why his cultivation was abolished, it is inconvenient to tell the outside world."

"It's Tian Cang who has been careless!"

Wan Tiancang cupped his hands, thinking to himself:
"I'm afraid that if you cultivated the Immortal Foundation at a young age, your youthful arrogance offended those children of the rich family, so those children of the rich family are not afraid of revenge and like this kind of drama of being a mortal."

He said regretfully:

"It's a pity."

Wan Tiancang watched Li Tongya keep his mouth shut, gritted his teeth, and finally said:

"To tell the truth, Brother Li, Tiancang came here this time, hoping to use the inheritance of the formation in the clan to exchange for a talisman for peak Qi training or foundation building, and kill that Ji Dengqi!"

Only then did Li Tongya suddenly realize, and secretly said in his heart:
"I said why Wan Tiancang is so idle and has nothing to do to talk to me, parents, this guy's original idea!"
