Chapter 178 Rumors spread, clan meeting
"Yes, I can refine not only third-grade elixirs, but also fourth-grade elixirs. You can find me for any elixirs you need to refine in the future. I will only charge you half of the refining fee." Li Yi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei looked at Li Yi as if he were a monster. They couldn't believe that there was such a young fourth-grade alchemist. If the news got out, they didn't know how many cultivators would be shocked. The two of them were naturally very happy. As long as they could get enough spiritual medicine in the future, they could ask Li Yi to refine elixirs. This would be much more cost-effective than refining instruments directly and then exchanging them for elixirs.
The two chatted for a while, then separated and went to do other things. Li Yi naturally returned to the room and began to study the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique, completely ignoring what was happening outside.
But what Li Yi didn't know was that a piece of news, whether true or false, quickly spread around the imperial city of Chu.
In a loft of Lexianju, four or five cultivators were sitting. One of them said, "Have you heard? The cultivators of the Demonic Path have colluded with the cultivators of Qin State and have now sneaked into Chu State and started to assassinate fellow cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Some people saw Chang Luo of Tianqiao Sect being killed. Not only that, it seems that someone from Tianyue Sect has also died."
Another cultivator hesitated and said, "I think it should be true. Some people have already gone to the headquarters of these two sects to inquire. The cultivators in the rumors have indeed disappeared, but I don't know if they are dead."
"It shouldn't be! The cultivators of the Demonic Path are so bold that they dare to sneak into Chu State and kill people, especially in this Dao Discussion Conference. There are hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators here, and many of the missing people are cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment Stage." Another elegant young man said uncertainly.
"Why not? I heard that the people who came seemed to be from the Gongshu family. They brought a silver-armored puppet that was comparable to a Jindan-stage cultivator. It was very easy for them to slaughter a foundation-building cultivator. I also heard that some immortal cultivation families in Chu State have colluded with the other Qin State, and even the royal family may have secretly surrendered to Qin State. Do you think that the royal family will gather all of us cultivators and kill them all to give Qin State a token of surrender? The royal family has been suppressed by our five major sects, and this time they were forced to hold the discussion meeting." Another person said in a gloomy voice.
After hearing this, all the other people present became horrified, and a chill rose from their tail vertebrae. For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial city became tense, and there was an undercurrent underground. The cultivators of the five major sects in the city had more frequent exchanges with each other.
…………
Countless discussions and rumors spread wildly in the inner city of Chu, pushing the royal family of Chu to the forefront, but the royal family of Chu did not come out to refute the rumors, but chose to watch from the sidelines. Therefore, these rumors became more turbulent and the atmosphere became weird.
As for the initiator of the rumors, it was naturally Li Yi.
He came up with this idea at the beginning, on the one hand, to put the blame on Qin's Gongshu family, wash their suspicion, and at the same time to focus the attention of those Jindan period cultivators on Qin, not to come to them. Among them, Qin's Gongshu family did send people to Chu to kill Mo Li, and many cultivators from the five major sects also disappeared. The content of the content was true and false, and it was impossible to distinguish. It was unexpected that it could cause such a big impact.
When Zhang Tie told him the reason, Li Yi just smiled and didn't say anything. Zhang Tie invited him to attend the cultivator's gathering, and he refused all of them. He was in a hurry now, so he would not attend any party. Zhang Tie had already collected the materials for the Breath-Resisting Pill, which surprised Li Yi.
After more than half a month of exploration, he had a glimpse of the Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique and could perform it simply. It would be even better if he could refine the Breath-Resisting Pill before the time agreed with the purple-clothed woman.
In the remaining ten days, Li Yi comprehended it, got the puppet technique from Mo Li, combined it with the "Puppet Sutra" of Tianqiao Sect, and began to try to control the silver-armored puppet. Because of his powerful mind, he could drive the silver-armored puppet to attack and perform some simple actions after only seven or eight days of learning.
Li Yi practiced selflessly in the attic, while the royal family of Chu State was having a very hard time at this time. They had been overwhelmed by rumors these days.
At this time, in an underground palace, many monks gathered. The leader was a middle-aged monk in a purple Taoist robe. He had a square face, a murderous look between his eyebrows, and a sharp gaze. His cultivation was even more terrifying. He had reached the late Jindan stage. This person was Chu Xiongyuan, the patriarch of the Chu family.
There were five monks sitting below him, all of whom were Jindan stage monks. As for the monks sitting below, all of them were foundation-building monks, more than ten of them, basically all of them were late-foundation monks, but there were two exceptions, one was Chu Yuanlan, and the other was a handsome man. Both of them were early-foundation monks, and they were also sitting here.
The middle-aged man glanced at one of the monks who attacked and said, "Has the source of the rumor not been found yet! And the monks in the rumor, are they missing or fallen? Have you found out!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a monk at the golden elixir stage who made the move said bravely: "Let me tell the head of the family that we have sent out all the men we can send out, but we haven't found any yet. The person who broke the news was a casual cultivator, and someone else gave him a spiritual stone to do this. We have already searched for that person's soul, but the other person hid it very well and did not reveal anything. Therefore, we did not get anything. Useful information. As for the monks in the rumors, I have gone to the five major sects to verify, and I have not seen these people. I think it is necessary to explain the rumors, otherwise, I am afraid they will attack us directly. "
"Since we can't find out, forget it and withdraw all our people! There is no need to explain. Tian Ming has made it very clear to everyone before. I can ignore these rumors. It will be natural after a while. No. If we explain it, it will arouse others' suspicion. The five major sects will definitely not take action against us at this time.
We have a clan meeting today, and the main thing to discuss is the issue of Tianjiang. Although Tianjiang acted a little recklessly this time, openly betraying the clan and joining the Demon Sect, he still brought the Tianwen Sword back to us. If not, we have no chance of getting our ancestor's sword back. Moreover, he got in touch with a senior of our Chu family in the Qin State. Back then, this senior voluntarily married to the Qin State and became my aunt. Now she has reached the Nascent Soul stage. This is his personal letter. , everyone took a look and expressed their opinions. "
After the middle-aged monk finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and an ancient blue sword and placed them on the table for everyone to circulate.
