Chapter 17 Employment of the Liu Family
In a dense forest dozens of miles west of Qinghefang, more than twenty monks gathered. The leader was an elderly monk in his nineties, wearing a black and white robe. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and his eyebrows and beard were all white.
This old man is the current patriarch of the Liu family in Jingyuan Mountain in Qinghe County, Liu Tianlong, who is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. In his early years, he was also a famous genius monk in Qinghe County. He reached the ninth level of Qi refining before he was fifty years old. It's a pity that when he reached the ninth level of Qi training, his family had begun to decline and he failed to successfully build the foundation.
During the Qi Refining Stage, the sixty-year-old monk is the best age to build a foundation before his Qi and blood decline. After the age of eighty, he has basically lost hope of building a foundation. At Liu Tianlong's age, unless there is an incredible opportunity, Otherwise, there will be no chance of successful foundation building.
Veteran monks like Liu Tianlong, who have broken through the late stage of Qi refining for many years, have nothing to say about their fighting skills. In Qinghe County, except for the few foundation-building monks, they are the absolute top combat power.
As long as Liu Tianlong is not seriously injured, he can maintain his peak combat power for at least ten years. After the Qi refining period reaches one hundred and ten years old, his body will gradually lose Qi and blood and lose the ability to absorb spiritual energy. By then, he will no longer be able to absorb spiritual energy. If you make a move at will or force it, you will lose too much spiritual energy, which may cause you to lose your original level of cultivation. In serious cases, it will affect your last ten years of life and cause you to die prematurely.
"Clan leader, there is news from the Song family that they have arrived." A middle-aged man next to Liu Tianlong was reporting to him the news he had just received.
Liu Tianlong stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Inform the Wu family and the Du family monks to prepare for departure."
The ancestors of the Liu family also had a foundation-building monk. A hundred years ago, they were also a foundation-building family in Qinghe County. However, the Liu family was in bad luck. During the Monster Rebellion a hundred years ago, they lost the only foundation-building monk in the family. .
After the war, although the Xiaoyao Sect compensated him with a foundation-building pill, it was a pity that the person selected by the Liu family to build the foundation did not succeed in building the foundation. The Liu family was reduced to a Qi-refining family and could only give up part of the family property in exchange for the protection of other foundation-building families, becoming a vassal family of the Huang family to this day.
This trip to the Fuyun Mountains has been planned by the Liu family for many years. As long as it goes well, they will get an opportunity to go to Xiaoyao Sect to exchange for foundation-building pills. As long as someone in the Liu family succeeds in building a foundation, he will regain the foundation-building family's legacy in his hands. Glory, everything in the family will change when the time comes! Liu Tianlong was also very excited when he thought of this.
Following the two elders, they flew hundreds of miles westward. The eight members of the Song family came to this dense forest. At this time, dozens of monks had gathered in the dense forest, including those in the late stage of Qi Refining. Seven or eight. I didn’t expect that the Liu family would take this trip to Fuyun Mountains so seriously.
Second Elder Song Changfeng greeted Liu Tianlong after meeting, and led the Song family members to join the group of monks headed by the Liu family. After everyone gathered, they left Qinghe County and headed north.
This time the Liu family invited a total of three nearby families to participate. In addition to the Song family, there were also the Wu family of Longtan Mountain and the Du family of Baoshifeng. The Wu family and the Song family were about the same strength. The leader was the head of the Wu family, Wu Xiyun. The Du family is slightly stronger, with more than 30 monks in the family. The leader this time is the second elder of the Du family, Du Shaokang.
Adjacent to Qinghe County to the north is Pingyang County, which is the largest of the four counties in Jiangling County. There are seven foundation-building families in the county alone, and they control more than twice the territory and the number of monks as Qinghe County. A hundred miles further north of Pingyang County is the Fuyun Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles.
Monsters and beasts are rampant in the Fuyun Mountains, which is not suitable for ordinary mortals to live here. However, it is a gathering place for many casual cultivators in the Wei Kingdom. Many casual cultivators from the four counties of Jiangling County like to come to the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters.
There are also many foundation-building casual cultivators occupying spiritual veins and opening caves here. The Wulong River in the north of Pingyang County is also the junction point between humans and the monster forces in the northern border.
The huge Fuyun Mountains attract many monks to hunt monsters every year. At the same time, it is also a buffer place for every monster uprising in the northern border.
Therefore, the Xiaoyao Sect also attaches great importance to this place. Not only has it established several markets near the Fuyun Mountains to collect various resources and earn spiritual stones from casual cultivators, but it has also appointed the Danjie elders in the sect to guard this place all year round.
After walking north for a few days, everyone entered the territory of Pingyang County. They walked for nearly ten days before passing through Pingyang County and entering the Fuyun Mountains.
This is also the first time Song Qingming has left Qinghe County to perform a mission. The monks he saw along the way, whether they were traveling in groups like them, or three or two alone, these people all had the same destination, and they were surrounded by dangers and dangers. The Fuyun Mountains are full of opportunities.
When Song Qingming was in Lingyuan Mountain, he had often heard his uncle Song Changxin talk about all kinds of strange things he encountered while practicing in Ziyu Mountain in Fuyun Mountains. He was also very curious about this place, but this time he followed everyone Since we set off, we have been on the road non-stop, and we haven’t had much chance to pay attention to the various scenery along the way.
Half a month after entering the Fuyun Mountains, everyone came to a dense forest in a mountain bay. Liu Tianlong announced that everyone would stay in place for the night. The target of this hunting was in a pool not far ahead. It was a bird. A second-grade low-grade silver-armored crab demon.
According to the monks of the Liu family, this silver-armored crab has only been advanced to the second-level monster for a few decades, and its magical power is not difficult to deal with.
It was so fast and windy all the way that it was rare for everyone to rest for a night. At night, everyone lit bonfires and formed several circles, laughing and joking, and the excitement slowly stopped until midnight.
Early the next morning, under the leadership of the Liu family, everyone came to the edge of a pool. The pool was only a few dozen feet in diameter. Near the center, there was a huge black reef protruding from the water, with several low-pitched rocks lying on it. The monster beast was basking in the newly rising sun leisurely.
Under the command of several elders of the Liu family, everyone began to set up the "Golden Net Demon Suppression Formation" in a grassland beside the water pool. This second-level low-grade formation was purchased by the Liu family from Jiangling County Fang City many years ago. As long as sixteen Qi Refining Stage monks work together, it can trap ordinary second-level low-grade monsters in a short time. This is also The Liu family has the greatest confidence to dare to attack the second-level monsters during this trip.
The second-level formation is more complicated, and the Liu family is very well prepared for this operation. The Liu family alone has two high-grade formation masters, plus two other high-grade formation masters from the Wu and Song families. The four of them lead Song Qingming and a dozen other low- and mid-level formation mages worked together for nearly an hour to set up this second-level formation.
It was also the first time that Song Qingming participated in setting up the second-level formations. Originally, his level of formations as a lower-grade formation mage was only at the entry level. This time, he followed four high-grade formation masters to jointly set up the formations, which benefited him a lot.
Although he was only doing the basics during this formation operation, it made him realize a lot about the formation method and inspired a lot of inspiration.
There were more than forty monks participating in this mission, among which nine were late-stage Qi-refining monks and the others were all mid-stage Qi-refining monks. And there was not only this second-level silver-armored crab monster in this pool, but there were also many others. Super monster.
According to the on-site distribution of the Liu family, some of the formation masters they brought were responsible for activating the formation at any time. The other monks, led by several late-stage Qi refining monks, first strangled the first-level monsters in the pool.
Before the war begins, everyone must first kill the first-level monsters as much as possible. Otherwise, when the second-level monsters come out, too many first-level monsters will restrain the formation, and it will be difficult to fully trap the second-level monsters when the formation is deployed. .
"Qing Ming and Chang Yun will stay to cooperate with us in activating the formation, and the others will follow Chang Feng." Seeing that the Liu family monks had begun to organize their men to attack the water pool, the Great Elder Song Gubai quickly made appropriate arrangements.
The twelfth aunt Song Changyun is also a low-level formation mage like Song Qingming. Although she has the sixth level of Qi refining, she only practices wood-attribute skills and has average fighting skills. She rarely participates in such dangerous tasks.
The Great Elder Song Gubai is the only high-grade formation mage in his family, so he naturally wants to stay and help activate the formation.
The other five people had rich experience in hunting monsters and fighting enemies. Under the leadership of Song Changfeng, they quickly gathered at the waterhole.
"Kill" After Liu Tianlong's order, everyone quickly moved towards the water pool and killed them.
A black-clothed monk took the lead in launching an attack on a low-level fish demon that was resting by the pool. This man was a veteran late-stage Qi Refining monk from the Du family, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
With a few quick steps, he carefully touched behind the squinting fish demon. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he quickly pulled out a black ring magic weapon and put it towards the fish demon's neck.
The black ring suddenly grew several times in size in the air, and suddenly got stuck on the fish demon's neck. The fish demon felt something abnormal on his neck, and was about to get up, but suddenly stopped moving in the next moment, and there was a rain of blood. Floating out, the huge fish head fell off its neck.
Song Qingming looked shocked after reading this, what a powerful method.
