Chapter 428: Yuan family, Sima family!
After Xie Ying and others left, Lu Ruyi looked at her elder brother blankly and said, "Brother, how strong are you?"
She was stationed in Huaguo Mountain in her early years and often asked Lu Ping'an for advice. They even had many exchanges and knew that her elder brother's strength was extraordinary.
But she didn't expect that her elder brother's strength would be so amazing.
She had read some information about the six major fake pill families before and knew that Xie Ying was at the seventh or eighth level of foundation building.
Even if it was just a test and he didn't go all out, his elder brother had the upper hand in a moment, which also showed that his elder brother had the strength of the late stage of foundation building or even the peak of foundation building.
Doesn't this mean that his elder brother's strength has surpassed his father! ?
No, Wangshu is so powerful, and his father may really be able to suppress the fake pill master by using the talisman array as rumored.
"I made a small breakthrough in my body training a few days ago."
Lu Ping'an didn't explain too much and smiled slightly.
After that, he added: "It's better to fight quickly and decisively. If you encounter ordinary foundation building later, big brother will help you."
"Ruyi understands."
Lu Ruyi nodded, knowing that it would be difficult for her to intervene in the battle just now, and she might even drag down her big brother.
"Big pot, big pot, why didn't you use the 'Shaking Mountain Fist'?"
Lu Linghe stepped on the wind and fire wheels and came to her big brother, asking curiously.
She has been practicing boxing with Lu Pingan, and she also wants to see the actual combat of this set of boxing.
"Xiaohe wants to see boxing, big brother will use boxing next time."
Lu Pingan put away the black dragon halberd and said with a smile. www.tuxu.org Bu Ge Novel Network
Then he came to a gorgeous carriage and handed the token given by the Xie family to Ling Zixiao.
"Lingxi Xie family, okay, I will write back later about the Xie family's affairs and let my family take care of the arrangements."
Ling Zixiao took the token, looked at it for a few times, smiled slightly, elegant and dignified.
Then she looked at her son Lu Lingxiao and said, "Xiao'er, you are also practicing the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art. If you have any doubts about body refining, you can ask your elder brother for more advice."
Although she knew Lu Ping'an's strength, she had never seen him before.
Even she was a little surprised when they just fought.
"Ping'an has been practicing for only forty years, right?"
Ling Zixiao still remembered that Lu Ping'an had not detected his spiritual roots in his early years. When he just returned to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng asked him to teach him how to practice the "Purple Yang True Art".
Unknowingly, the other party has grown to this point, which is amazing.
"Mother, I understand."
Lu Lingxiao nodded seriously.
Knowing that he only has a physical body in the body refining, he lacks the means to use strength.
Facing problems in practice, Lu Ping'an never keeps them to himself, and instructs his younger brothers and sisters.
In addition to instructing Lu Ruyi and Lu Lingxiao, Lu Ping'an also cares about other brothers and sisters, several children of Qingzhu Mountain, and children of the Lu family who have no spiritual roots.
After the caravan arrived at the current destination, it stopped outside the other party's mountain gate to trade.
In addition to selling goods, the caravan will also ask the other party if they have anything to sell and purchase.
In this process, it is very easy to pick up bargains.
Picking up bargains does not mean that you must pick up precious treasures.
Like some things worth tens or hundreds of spirit stones, but they are regarded as waste, a few spirit stones are also considered to be picking up bargains.
Originally, the Chamber of Commerce would also earn spirit stones by picking up people along the way.
But the Lu family caravan's main purpose of this trip was to make a name for itself and open up trade routes, not entirely for profit, so no one was picked up.
On the way, in addition to monsters, there were occasionally some robbers and mountain bandits occupying the mountaintops.
In this case, generally give some spirit stones as tolls.
If there is a foundation-building cultivator sitting in charge, the foundation-building spiritual pressure will naturally leak out and the problem can be solved.
As for fighting and killing, it will not be like this.
Doing business is about making money in harmony.
And many of these robbers are small family forces in the surrounding area.
If they were to kill the robbers immediately, they would not be able to kill them, and would only cause trouble for their family.
Seven days later.
The caravan encountered another wave of attacks.
This time, three foundation-building cultivators came, one in the late stage of foundation-building, and two in the early stage of foundation-building.
Unlike the previous Xie family in Lingxi, this wave of enemies did not say anything extra and just killed them.
If Lu Ping'an had not been alert, even a member of the Lu family would have been in trouble.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Ping'an did not say much politely and went straight to the attack.
Lu Ruyi and Lu Lingxiao also took action directly, each against an early stage of foundation-building.
Lu Lingxiao came here to gain experience and skills on this business trip. When encountering a situation, he would naturally take action.
"This Lu family chamber of commerce actually has three, no four foundation-building cultivators, why is the Lu family mistress not there?"
The old man in the late stage of foundation-building was shocked.
Unexpectedly, during the recent Red Leaf Valley Market incident, a Foundation Establishment cultivator Lu Wangshu appeared in Bihu Mountain, and now two inexplicable Foundation Establishment cultivators have appeared.
However, what shocked him the most was Lu Ping'an's combat power.
Seeing that the other party was not as rumored, he immediately wanted to leave and pass the news back to the clan.
But how could Lu Ping'an let him leave like this and fight with him.
Next to him, Lu Ruyi and Lu Lingxiao faced a foundation-building cultivator respectively and kept fighting.
These two foundation-building cultivators were not simple. They had the third-level foundation-building cultivation. They were old-fashioned foundation-building cultivators with rich experience in fighting.
Lu Lingxiao had just broken through the foundation-building technique and barely got started. He did not have a spiritual weapon at hand. He relied entirely on his mana foundation, the Destruction Flame, and the second-level body refining to fight the other party evenly.
But his eyes were amazing, with a golden luster. He kept seeing through the opponent's weaknesses, looking for opportunities, and gradually gained the upper hand.
As for Lu Ruyi, he had no advantage.
Even as the two sides fought, he gradually fell into a disadvantage and barely supported himself with the spiritual weapon.
"Can't go on, go!"
After fighting with Lu Pingan for several rounds, the old man in the late stage of foundation building gave up the other two, activated a talisman, and prepared to escape alone.
"Want to leave!?"
Seeing this, Lu Pingan said to his sister who was riding a wind-fire wheel in the distance: "Xiao He, watch out."
"Shake the mountain!"
Lu Pingan clenched his five fingers into a fist, and on his tall body, a series of complex and profound patterns like chains spread, like dragons and snakes swimming, bringing boundless power.
Endless surging blood suddenly gushed out like a volcanic eruption, making the air heavy, like a mountain falling, pressing on the old man in front of him, causing him to sink suddenly.
The spine rose and fell like a dragon, and the fist that gathered infinite power was swung out.
"Bang bang bang——"
The mighty sound wave fist force blew up the air layer by layer, and then bombarded the old man who wanted to escape.
The terrifying force instantly blew up the old man's defensive magic weapon, and his body suddenly exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"Hmm"
Seeing the blood mist in front of him, Lu Ping'an suddenly realized that this battle scene seemed a bit brutal to his sister.
He immediately clenched his hands, as if he was holding the air in all directions in his hands, and the blood mist in front of him dissipated.
"This, this, this"
The other two foundation-building early stage people had been observing the old man and Lu Ping'an, thinking about when to retreat. Seeing this scene, they were immediately scared to death.
What the hell!
The leader of the family was killed by a punch.
For a moment, the two of them fell into an ice cellar and had no intention of fighting.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Lingxiao's Destruction Flame turned into a black firebird in his hand, and suddenly blasted out, burning the old man in front of him.
"Spare my life, fellow Taoists, spare my life!"
The man who was fighting with Lu Ruyi hurriedly shouted loudly, begging for mercy, knowing that if he continued to fight, he would only die.
"Ping An, ask them which faction they are from?"
Ling Zixiao's voice sounded in Lu Ping An's mind.
"Yes, Auntie."
When Lu Ping An heard this, he raised his hand to suppress the man and asked for information.
Faced with this situation, the man did not dare to hide anything and told all the information.
He said that he was just a casual cultivator named Zhou Datong. He heard that there was such a job. No matter whether it was successful or not, he could get a second-level breakthrough pill, so he took this job.
The old man before was most likely from the Yuan family of Dayuan Mountain.
"One of the six fake pill families, the Yuan family of Dayuan Mountain."
"Casual cultivator."
When Lu Ping An, Lu Ruyi and others heard this, they immediately understood what the Yuan family was thinking.
This was to deliberately find two casual cultivators to test. As long as there was an accident, the old man would abandon the two and escape alone.
Even if the two were captured and pointed out that it was the Yuan family's fault afterwards, these witnesses would not count at all.
Besides, the Yuan family did not believe that Bihu Mountain would dare to cause trouble for them.
"My two Taoist friends, I really don't know too much about this matter. I have no intention of offending the nobles. This is all my property. I am willing to use it as compensation."
Zhou Datong pleaded, and his heart was filled with regret.
"If you want to live, you can. My Lu Family Chamber of Commerce is just starting up and is in need of manpower."
"As long as you sign the contract and serve as a bodyguard for Bihu Mountain for 20 years, I will give you freedom afterwards."
Just then, a gentle and elegant voice sounded.
Ling Zixiao, wearing a lake blue dress and with a dignified and elegant appearance, walked out of the carriage and looked at Zhou Datong calmly.
Although there are many foundation-building cultivators in Bihu Mountain now.
But to establish a chamber of commerce, manpower is still needed.
If you spend money to invite guest officials to serve, with the current reputation of Bihu Mountain, you can indeed invite a few.
But if you spend money to hire bodyguards, the cost of this offering will be too high, and it is not worth it at the moment.
Since there are foundation-building cultivators who are now delivered to the door, Ling Zixiao will naturally not be polite.
"Escort guard, twenty years."
Zhou Datong's face changed slightly when he heard this.
For a foundation-building cultivator, twenty years is not very long.
But the problem is not the twenty years, but the escort guards!
You know, escort guards escort caravans and goods, and travel all year round, which is a dangerous job.
Especially now that the Lu family of Bihu Mountain is in the limelight, many forces are eyeing them covetously, and there might be an accident one day.
"You have no choice now, die, or serve me for Bihu Mountain for twenty years."
Ling Zixiao's beautiful eyes were as bright as autumn water, and he looked at Zhou Datong calmly, giving people an indescribable majesty and nobility.
"I do"
Zhou Datong knew that he had no choice now, and the whole person agreed as if he was deflated.
Immediately, Ling Zixiao signed a spiritual contract with the other party and took out a blood contract.
For a casual cultivator like Zhou Datong, it is difficult to make another half step in cultivation.
So he chose to give up cultivation and pay some price. The second-level spiritual contract was really difficult to bind him.
But the blood contract was different.
This kind of blood contract was extremely domineering. As long as the other party dared to betray and tear up the blood contract, it could directly cause the other party's foundation to collapse.
In addition to the blood contract, Ling Zixiao also planned to let Li Xingruo, his husband, study it after returning to see if there was a poison pill that could be cured once every one or two years.
Only with multiple guarantees like this can it be more stable.
"Blood contract."
Zhou Datong's face turned pale when he saw the blood contract in front of him.
Knowing that once he signed the blood contract in front of him, his life would be completely in the hands of the other party.
But in the current situation, he had no choice but to force out his blood and sign the blood contract.
"As long as you work hard for my Bihu Mountain, I may give you your freedom in advance."
"If you make contributions, let alone the second-level breaking pill, even the second-level advanced breaking pill, my Bihu Mountain has it."
Ling Zixiao put away the spirit contract and blood contract, and said another sentence lightly.
Then he returned to the carriage with an elegant posture.
Although Zhou Datong knew that this was just a pie in the sky, he still had a little more hope in his heart and began to comfort himself.
Thinking that the Lu family of Bihu Mountain was so extraordinary, in addition to the Lu couple, there were actually such top cultivators. If he worked hard, he might be able to get some benefits.
"Da Guo, don't use boxing next time, the people were killed."
At this time, Lu Linghe said to his eldest brother, thinking that the punch just now was too brutal.
"Okay."
Lu Ping'an smiled awkwardly.
Lu Ruyi next to him glanced at Lu Lingxiao and was silent.
It's okay for the eldest brother to kill a foundation-building cultivator with one punch.
This younger brother, who had just broken through the foundation, killed a foundation-building cultivator without a spiritual weapon.
And myself.
As the caravan continued to move forward, Ling Zixiao taught his son Lu Lingxiao: "Xiao'er, you need to remember the four words 'use kindness and power' when you are in charge of family affairs in the future."
"As for how to show kindness and how to use power, you need to grasp it yourself."
"Although Zhou Datong signed the blood contract, he has not yet surrendered and lacks loyalty. On the way, you can try to use kindness and power to subdue him."
"You can do this power yourself or through your eldest brother."
Ling Zixiao's eyes were bright, as if looking through the carriage at Lu Ping'an and Zhou Datong.
Although her son was not interested in family affairs.
But in her opinion, these things, lack of interest and not understanding belong to two concepts.
"Use kindness and power."
Lu Lingxiao heard his mother's words, looked at Zhou Datong on the pack animal, nodded, and his mother's appearance and expression just now appeared in his mind.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never seen his mother like this at home.
At the same time.
Dayuan Mountain.
"Master, it's bad. The soul tablet of the fourth elder is broken!"
The elder of the Yuan family who was guarding the ancestral hall came to report in a hurry.
"What, the soul tablet of the fourth elder is broken? How is this possible?"
When the head of the Yuan family heard this, his eyes widened immediately, full of disbelief.
The fourth elder of his family has the cultivation of the seventh level of foundation building, and his combat power is extraordinary. Even ordinary peak foundation building cultivators can hardly kill him.
This trip out was just to test the strength of the Lu family caravan in Bihu Mountain. How could he die outside?
"The Lu family has only two foundation building cultivators. Even if they are hidden, there are only three foundation building cultivators. How could they kill the fourth elder!"
"And the fourth elder also asked two foundation building cultivators to help him this time."
The head of the Yuan family still couldn't believe the news.
But after arriving at the ancestral hall, he found that the soul tablet of his fourth elder was indeed broken, and he immediately notified his family of the matter, and then sent someone to investigate the matter.
Nine days later.
The Lu family caravan was driving on the road.
"Hmm!?"
In the carriage behind a pack animal, Ling Zixiao suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at a compass in her hand.
This array compass is not used to set up an array, but to sense an array.
After all, on the way to trade, there may be robbers who set up arrays and ambushes in advance.
If you enter the array set up by others, even if your strength is one level higher, it is very dangerous and passive.
"Safe, Ruyi, Lingxiao, be alert!"
Ling Zixiao shouted at the beginning, ordering the caravan to stop.
"Hoohoohoohoo——"
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the forest, making a humming sound.
"Buzz!"
In the sky, a yellowish-brown luster suddenly flowed, and a huge dark yellow mountain suddenly came down from the sky, with a terrifying might.
"Not good!"
Lu Ping'an was alert at the first moment, and his blood was surging. His tall and burly body soared into the sky and lifted up the mountain in the sky.
"Woo woo woo--"
The carriages around the beasts of burden formed a light curtain at this moment.
But facing this powerful aura, these beasts of burden still whimpered and wailed.
"Swish!"
As soon as Lu Ping'an appeared, a golden arrow suddenly shot towards him, with a sharp and compelling aura.
Even though he knew that his elder brother's body training was amazing, Lu Ruyi still activated a second-level golden light talisman for him at the first moment.
"Clang!"
A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded by himself, and the golden arrow hit the golden light talisman like a stone breaking, directly breaking the golden light talisman.
"Boom!"
Lu Ping'an directly lifted the khaki hill above his head, and then slapped his palm like a millstone, knocking away the arrow that broke the golden light talisman.
"The Lu family of Bihu Mountain, what a great Lu family of Bihu Mountain, it is indeed extraordinary!"
"Lu Ping'an, the eldest son of the Lu family, it is rumored that you are in the middle stage of the second stage of body refining. Now it seems that the rumor is not only wrong, but also wrong. You have already reached the late stage of the second stage of body refining."
"Tsk tsk tsk, your Lu family is really well hidden."
"I thought Lu Wangshu was the pillar of your Lu family, but now it seems that you, Lu Ping'an, are the real pillar of the Lu family. No wonder Lu Changsheng dared to trust you to lead the caravan."
At this time, four figures walked out and stood side by side.
One of them had a khaki hill hanging above his head, one held a bow and arrow, one held a feather fan, and another held a formation plate in his hand.
They all looked very young and had extraordinary temperament.
Lu Ruyi, Lu Lingxiao, and Zhou Datong immediately came to Lu Ping'an and looked at the four people in front of them.
"Hmm? Three foundation-building cultivators?"
"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. No wonder your Lu family has the confidence to set up a chamber of commerce and make such a big fuss."
The young man holding the feather fan paused, then laughed.
"Xuanwu Ridge Sima family, Sima Four Heroes!"
Lu Ruyi looked at the four people in front of him and immediately recognized their identities.
The four were not only from the Sima family, but also brothers from the same mother.
The four brothers from the same mother all have spiritual roots and are gifted. Breaking through the foundation is very rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
Moreover, the four have a lot of opportunities and extraordinary strength. They have killed a great cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
Not only in the Qingyun territory, but also in the Jiang Kingdom immortal cultivation world, they are quite famous.
Lu Ruyi didn't expect that the Sima family would attack their own caravan so blatantly.
Like the Xie family before, they came here just to test.
If their family had enough strength, they would even apologize and discuss cooperation.
Although the Yuan family killed directly, they still concealed their identity information.
But the Sima family in front of them did not hide anything. They came to kill openly and intercepted their caravan. This was completely disregarding their own family and not caring about their face at all.
"I heard that the Sima family and the Jin family have some friendship. Now that my family has a relationship with the Jin family, it is reasonable for the Sima family to take action directly."
Lu Ruyi thought to himself, and immediately told his eldest brother, Lu Lingxiao, about the situation of the Sima Four.
Then he saw Zhou Datong next to him and told the situation of the four people.
