Chapter 113 Family Affairs
Chapter 114 Family Affairs
The moon is shining brightly in the sky, casting its moonlight on everything in the world like a layer of silver. The sea surface is sparkling with light as the tides rise and fall.
"The foundation-building pill has been refined. All family elders, return to the Jade Islands as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes!"
Li Quanqing was sleeping soundly while holding the warm and furry Golden Flame Tiger in his arms, when suddenly an urgent voice came from the jade pendant on his waist.
Foundation Building Pill? !
The boy's head shuddered, he kicked his legs and suddenly woke up.
That's not right. The Foundation Establishment Pill has nothing to do with me and it won't reach my hands.
sleep!
Li Quanqing was in a daze and prepared to lie down and sleep again.
In the storage bag, the Thousand Fish Mirror suddenly vibrated, and the Third Elder sent him a message individually.
"According to the Li family rules, the ownership of the foundation-building pill is decided by all the family elders through discussion."
"reply ASAP!"
Well, it looks like I won’t be able to sleep this time.
"Ouch?"
Jin Yanhu raised his head slightly and was also awakened, with confusion written all over his eyes.
"It's none of your business. Go back to sleep. There's nothing good to eat!"
"Ow~"
Upon hearing this, Linghu immediately fell into a deep sleep, smacking his lips and imagining in his dreams that he could taste the tender and juicy jade carp.
“I didn’t expect that I couldn’t escape in the end.”
Li Quanqing got up from the warm tiger-skin quilt and sighed inwardly.
He yawned and wanted to find a mount to carry him across, so as to save some energy and also take a nap on the way.
It was late at night, dark clouds obscured the bright moon, and many spirit beasts had already gone to sleep.
Ao Qing, the King of Rolls, is still practicing, but he needs to stay in the fish pond to watch over it and cannot move lightly.
Li Quanqing looked around and finally discovered that the longevity turtle was actually awake.
This guy was not staying up late, but had just woken up and was looking for food in the fish pond, preparing to go back to sleep after eating.
The decision is yours!
[Motionless] Longevity Turtle: "I only slept for ten hours today. I feel that I am seriously sleep deprived. It seems that I need to catch up on some sleep after having a midnight snack."
[Maturity: 96%]
Li Quanqing touched the turtle's head and dragged the lazy big guy out of the water.
Why are you sleeping, longevity turtle? Let’s go!
"roar~"
It let out a very dissatisfied growl and paddled in the sea with its four big paws, unwilling to move.
Upon seeing this, Li Quanqing took out a fragrant elixir and hung it in front of the spirit turtle. The longevity turtle's eyes lit up and it immediately became full of motivation.
"Hooho~"
The boy's body trembled, and the big turtle under his butt suddenly exerted force and began to rush wildly in the sea, speeding like lightning, splashing water everywhere.
Li Quanqing was not stingy either. After the guy swam out of Yulongpo, he fed it an elixir.
After raising him for so long, this guy is finally about to break through to the Qi Refining Stage. It is really not easy and he deserves a reward.
The Longevity Turtle grew up in the Jade Islands, so naturally he knew the way and the direction.
Li Quanqing was also very relieved. He took out a few speed talismans and stuck them on the turtle shell to increase the paddling speed of this big guy.
Then he took out a blanket from the storage bag, covered himself with it, and continued to catch up on his sleep.
When the long night ended and a red sun bathed the East China Sea, the outline of the Jade Islands could finally be seen, with the sea reflecting the sunset glow. After another half an hour, we finally arrived at the long-lost Jade Island.
"Hello, brother!"
"It's Elder Quanqing!"
Li Quanqing yawned and stepped onto the land of Qingyu Island. Many members of the Li family greeted him.
Most of them are young people, and their eyes are full of admiration and respect.
He started out as a member of a branch of the Li family, and an orphan whose parents had both died. He learned how to refine equipment, competed in clan competitions, and gradually gained his current identity and status. He is now the youngest elder of the Li family.
Li Quanqing's story is truly inspiring. Many young members of the Quan generation regard him as an idol and believe he will become a leader of this generation.
"Quan Qing!"
A team of family stewards came to greet them and accorded due etiquette to the elders. The leader was surprisingly Li Quanmo.
"You kid, you're back from the jade mine too?"
Li Quanqing frowned.
It was he who approved Li Quanmo as the deacon, but this guy was also considered half-disciple of the third elder, so they all shared the same honor.
"After all, this concerns the Third Elder's path, and our faction is not in an advantageous position at the moment, so we came back to do our part."
Li Quanmo spoke and ordered his deacons to disperse the idle tribesmen and welcome Elder Quanqing into the ancestral temple deep in Qingyu Island.
Since it was about the Foundation Establishment Pill, all kinds of information were strictly blocked, and ordinary tribesmen didn't hear a single word of it, so they just had to do what they were supposed to do.
"Doesn't the Hall Master have an advantage?"
Li Quanqing spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity between his brows.
"Due to Li Quangeng's relationship, Shuihua Sword Sect clearly supports his father's ascension to the throne. In addition, the old patriarch has been in office for more than 180 years, so the friendship is deeply rooted."
"At present, many elders support Li Yumiao to use this pill to continue the glory of the clan leader's lineage."
Li Quanmo said in a low voice, with a hint of worry flashing deep in his eyes.
Previously, the three elders were very powerful and they lived a comfortable life. They even interfered in the affairs of the Evergreen Palace and were in charge of the distribution of spirit stones for the entire clan, making a lot of money.
If Li Yumiao succeeds in building his foundation, not only will all these benefits be lost, but the Third Elder will also have to bleed heavily for his previous arrogant behavior.
Now the Li family only has two great foundation-building cultivators, which actually maintains the most basic balance.
Li Quanqing listened attentively. Even if the Third Elder really failed in the competition, he still had the support of the Supreme Elder who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
In addition, he is strong enough and has lived on Ling Island all year round, so his leisurely days of raising fish will not be affected too much.
At worst, we can give up 20% to 30% of the profits from the gold marrow jade mine.
Maybe in a few years, he would succeed in building his own foundation, and then get back double what he had lost.
A group of people stepped into the central forbidden area and came to the outside of the family ancestral hall. In front of this place was the meeting hall, and in the back were tablets of ancestors, with lights that had been burning for a thousand years.
"Quanqing, go in. Only the elders of the family can enter the meeting hall now."
Li Quanqing looked around and saw tight security. Everywhere were fully armed family monks, the lowest of whom had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. There was also a faint and powerful aura of formation guarding the place.
He was not stage-frightened and walked up the long jade steps. The formation guarding the entire hall sensed the jade token on his waist and automatically extinguished, and the spiritual light on the walls of the hall dimmed.
With a creak, the young man pushed open the heavy door and walked in leisurely.
In the hall, thousands of candles were burning slowly, each as thick as a baby's arm. The candlelight was bright, illuminating every corner, and the rich smell of incense ash rushed into the nose.
More than seventy family elders stood there, divided into two distinct groups, talking to each other in low voices.
Li Quanqing glanced at the top of the hall and saw a thick curtain hanging down, through which he could vaguely see two large empty chairs.
"Quanqing, come here."
Someone suddenly called out his name, and the third elder Li Kunli stood in front of the crowd and waved at him.
