Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Leaving the sect, Li Guanqi didn't look back.

Because he knew that his life would inevitably be a magnificent journey forward.

Behind him was his support, his home.

That's why his family was so angry when he was bullied back then.

Now, he has also become an elder of his family, standing in front of all the disciples, bearing the pride of the sect.

Li Guanqi's lips curled up slightly, and he took down the vermilion wine gourd from his waist, tilted his head, and took a gulp of strong wine.

With a wave of his hand, sword energy swept across eight hundred feet, splitting the clouds and laughing as he left!

This trip to the Southern Region was to find Tang Ru.

He lifted his foot and tore the void in front of him, awakening Jiu Xiao, and the two of them sped towards the Wuzi City in the Southern Region.

However, they hadn't flown for long when Jiu Xiao became temperamental.

Helpless, Li Guanqi had to tear the void and find a mountain range with many demon beasts, killing two fourth-order demon beasts to give to it.

Looking at Jiu Xiao devouring the demon beasts, Li Guanqi smiled slightly.

After all, he had used several drops of Jiu Xiao's blood essence, so it was right to give it a good tonic.

Li Guanqi's whole body was now filled with boundless blood energy, and his muscle lines were as if they had been carved, without any excess fat.

His strong body contained explosive power.

The Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Sutra had also broken through to the fifth level. So far, he had not used his full strength.

The Nascent Soul in his dantian had also fused nearly forty percent of his soul power.

In other words... as long as he wanted, he could step into the mid-stage at any time!

After Jiu Xiao had its fill, its speed was extremely fast. Feeling the surging power within Jiu Xiao's body.

Li Guanqi sat on Jiu Xiao's head, stroking his chin and muttering, "Should I ask Fatty for some fifth-order demon cores?"

Upon hearing the words 'demon core,' Jiu Xiao's eyes lit up, and it raised its big head to look at Li Guanqi.

"Hahaha, good, good, I'll get you some."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanqi threw out a pill emitting a shimmering blue light.

Jiu Xiao swallowed it and squinted its eyes comfortably.

Li Guanqi chuckled, "Eat slowly, there aren't many of these."

Sun Miao only gave him ten beast pills.

The power contained in this kind of pill was even more violent, and it was specially refined for the Beast Taming Sect.

Li Guanqi sat cross-legged on Jiu Xiao's head, his divine sense transforming into his own phantom, constantly practicing his sword-drawing technique.

The surrounding Yuan Power surged, and spirit stones shattered one after another.

Although he could break through now, he had not yet reached his limit, still a little short.

He planned to polish his power to the extreme before breaking through.

A jade slip flipped between his slender fingers.

"Mount Juexian... one half-step Refining Void, one late-stage Transformation God, three mid-stage, six early-stage..."

"Very strong..."

This information was all mentioned in the jade slip that Tang Ru gave him.

Tang Ru was very smart. Li Guanqi only said that he needed the Demon Slaughtering Flower.

He could already guess that Mount Juexian had done it, and based on his understanding of Li Guanqi, this matter would definitely not end well.

So he investigated Mount Juexian thoroughly.

His five fingers exerted a little force, and the jade slip in his hand shattered with a bang.

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his pale white eyes.

The Wuzi City under the night was still bustling with activity.

The huge Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the city center was still brightly lit. Tang Ru in the study was haggard, leaning over the desk and flipping through the accounts.

Tang Yongwen, the eldest brother who had been quiet all along, had also begun to exert his strength, finding many good things from a relic.

The same was true for his second brother, Tang Yan, who had found many famous alchemists to refine a batch of high-level pills, putting him under a lot of pressure now.

Now, many people within the family felt that Tang Ru would inevitably lose in this business war.

But he still had a chance to turn the tables. The reason why he had this confidence was all because of that person!

Buzz!!!

"Yo, still busy?"

A playful teasing voice sounded, and Tang Ru looked up and grinned.

"Good fellow, why didn't you say hello when you came?"

Li Guanqi sat opposite the desk, glanced at the accounts on the table, and frowned.

Seeing this, Tang Ru quickly covered the ledger and smiled, "Are you done with everything?"

Li Guanqi looked at Tang Ru with a complex expression and said softly, "Demon Slaughtering Flower... why didn't you tell me you paid such a big price?"

Tang Ru lowered his head and didn't speak, just smiled and said, "It's no big deal."

"It's good as long as I can help."

After a slight pause, Tang Ru's voice was apologetic.

"About the last time... I'm sorry."

Li Guanqi raised his hand to interrupt him and said softly, "That matter can't be entirely blamed on you. I crushed the jade slip at the time because I was afraid they would track me down."

He could see that Tang Ru was under a lot of pressure now, and he looked much more haggard than the last time he saw him.

"Including what I gave you, do you have a chance of winning?"

Tang Ru's face showed a trace of bitterness, "That thing... is too precious. You can't even find it in the entire Great Xia Region. You could say it's one of a kind."

"But... this one thing alone is not enough. It's too simple."

"A super luxurious auction can't just become grand because of one final item."

"Sigh..."

"Now, almost all the famous alchemy masters in the entire Azure Cloud Continent have been snatched away by my eldest brother and second brother."

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned and asked with some doubt.

"Alchemy masters affect this?"

Tang Ru glanced at Li Guanqi and said.

"The more famous the alchemy master, the stronger their ability, and the better the effect of the pills they refine."

"Some of the stronger clan forces are very willing to spend money to buy pills for their core disciples."

Li Guanqi pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is Sun Miao famous?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Tang Ru's turn to be stunned.

"Sun Miao? Famous?"

"Brother... that's the top-tier fifth-grade grand alchemist in the Azure Cloud Continent!! Sun Miao!!"

"Transformation God cultivators begged Grandpa to sue Grandma and knelt in front of his gate for three months without him opening the door."

The more Li Guanqi listened, the deeper his brows furrowed. He recalled that the fat old man almost knelt down to him for the companion fire.

And the way he shamelessly insisted on staying in the Great Xia Sword Sect as a guest elder...

For a moment, he didn't know if they were talking about the same person.

Li Guanqi took a sip of wine and shrugged his shoulders.

"If that old man can help you, I'll help you."

Tang Ru's eyes revealed a bright light, and his voice raised a few degrees.

"Really?? Is it really Sun Miao??"

"Brother... you're really my brother!! I'm your own brother!"

"Is it really going to work?"

Looking at Tang Ru's cautious appearance, Li Guanqi smiled slightly.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a jade slip and said softly, "Old Sun, can you help my brother refine a batch of pills?"

The old man who was building the Pill Peak in the Great Xia Sword Sect impatiently took out the jade slip.

When he saw that it was Li Guanqi, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"No problem! Little friend, leave it to me!"

"Let him come to me, who is it?"
