Tianhai Xiantu

Within the main hall.

Li Qing's figure sat quietly on a black wooden chair on one side.

After a while, a figure walked out of the hall.

"Senior Brother Li"

The visitor entered the hall and quickly saluted Li Qing.

This person is Mu Houyu, and he is also the person in charge of the Mu family here.

"Junior Brother Mu, there is no need to be polite."

Li Qing said with a gentle expression.

In just a few years, this person has become a person at the pinnacle of Qi training.

Presumably, he is also highly valued in the Mu family.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years. It seems that Junior Brother Mu is about to become a fellow disciple," Li Qing said with a smile.

"I don't dare. It's all thanks to Senior Brother Li's support that I can be valued by the family."

Mu Houyu said this with a grateful face and a sincere tone.

He was telling the truth. Li Qing's biggest help to him was that he kept his word and never interfered in any Shifu Island affairs.

In fact, things on Shifu Island contain greater interests. If Li Qingzhen is an unruly and greedy person, he will definitely have difficulty controlling the development of the situation.

At present, because Li Qing has kept his promise and used his intelligence to manage Shifu Island in the interests of the family, the family now pays more attention to him than before.

If a huge family wants to develop and grow, it not only relies on the growth of geniuses, but also needs the advice of smart people like him.

Of course, strength is the basis of everything. With strength, people like Mu Houyu will quickly use their strength to strengthen the Mu family.

"hehe"

"Judging from Junior Brother Mu's tone, it seems that the foundation building has been decided," Li Qing said curiously.

Mu Houyu nodded slightly to this and said nothing.

With the strength of the Mu family, it is easy to support a foundation-building monk. Even if a person is extremely talented, the Mu family has the means to cultivate him into a foundation-building monk.

Li Qing nodded when he saw Mu Houyu's reaction.

If this person could attract the attention of the Mu family, he would be of some value to him.

He has now joined the Mu family, and working with the Mu family in the future will naturally be indispensable.

"Junior Brother Mu, let's stop chatting. You should know the purpose of calling you this time."

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, Mu Houyu immediately took out a jade slip from the storage bag.

Mu Houyu then handed it to Li Qing with both hands.

Watching Li Qing explore the jade slips, Mu Houyu continued to talk about the current situation.

The two seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. Li Qing would not interfere in the affairs of Shifu Island. In return, Mu Houyu would take the initiative to synchronize some information he knew with Li Qing.

There is naturally more than just information on Shifu Island.

"Currently, the number of monks on Stone Floating Island is more than ten times greater than during the Beast Tide. Among them, there are more than ten permanent foundation-building monks."

""

Li Qing listened to Mu Houyu's dictation while exploring the information inside the jade slip.

"The chaos in the inner sea has begun to intensify."

Li Qing said calmly in his heart.

The originally dangerous outer sea turned out to be a place of refuge for some monks.

It's amazing to say.

Compared with the threat of monsters that can only be seen in the outer sea, the hidden chaos in the inner sea is even more disturbing.

From time to time in the current Inland Sea, some forces disappear out of thin air.

It's the kind that doesn't even make a sound disappear in a day, and doesn't even leave a trace of its appearance.

Of course, these are not just for foundation building strength.

Even the power of Jindan disappeared mysteriously.

The Jin Dan master sitting inside seemed to have evaporated, and there was no trace of him anymore.

All this is disturbing.

Many casual cultivators noticed the strange atmosphere and chose to leave directly.

After all, they had no worries, so they naturally left whenever they wanted.

This also caused a very strange prosperity to appear in the outer sea.

Faced with this situation, the five major sects seemed to be unaware of it and did not issue any statement.

Of course, Li Qing knew that these were just superficial.

There had already been undercurrents surging in private.

A large number of disciples have been assigned to carry out tasks related to these news.

Some disciples have disappeared forever and never appeared again.

In such a situation, even the disciples inside the sect began to panic.

The Haoyuan Sea Territory, which had been ruled by the five major forces for countless years, began to slowly become turbulent.

Some smart people have already discovered the clues.

None of the five major forces have responded directly to this matter, which has already explained some problems.

What kind of force can provoke the five major sects so unscrupulously? This is what everyone is confused about.

Some people have already smelled the atmosphere of troubled times.

Some people are secretly gearing up, while others are in fear all day long.

Chaos means that the original division of interests will be reshuffled, and the guardians of inherent interests will naturally be confused.

Mu Houyu's jade slips contained some information collected with the help of the Mu family's power.

As Li Qing has now joined the Mu family, Mu Houyu's behavior naturally does not harm the interests of the family.

"Is it possible that the Ghost King Sect really has such a strong foundation?"

Li Qing was shocked to himself after reading the jade slips.

He found that the places where strange events occurred were scattered in various areas, with no rules at all. It was simply that there was turmoil in the territories of the five major forces.

But thinking of the information about the Ghost King Sect, Li Qing calmed down.

This Ghost King Sect was inherited from the ancient Demon Sect, and its foundation was naturally unmatched by the five major forces.

It is even said that the Ghost King Sect has been secretly planning for countless years.

Li Qing suddenly thought of something that made him feel cold.

Since the Ghost King Sect has been hiding for so long, it will not remain hidden forever.

Even the apparent strength of the sects may be secretly supported by the Ghost King Sect.

The Wu family that was wiped out that time is an example.

The power he possesses is exactly the means of demon cultivation.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

Now it seems that even monks who appear to be in the same camp need to pay attention to some things.

No one can say for certain that those forces are secretly controlled by the Ghost King Sect.

In particular, the Ghost King Sect is one of the most ruthless demon cultivators. Many hidden methods can secretly control some cultivators.

"Senior Brother Li, this is the information I have for the time being."

Mu Houyu said respectfully after finishing the retelling.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Mu," Li Qing responded.

In any case, Mu Houyu was just a Qi-training monk after all, so he naturally didn't know some of the hidden information. The real core information was probably in the hands of the core members of the Mu family.

He suddenly thought of an interesting thing. With Mu Ziyu's status, would he know about the existence of the Demon Sect now?

The existence of the Ghost King Sect has been known to the sect since the Heavenly Thunder Secret Realm above.

After such a long time, I guess some preparations have been made.

I am still keeping silent now, for fear that I may have other plans secretly.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind"

"I just don't know who is the last oriole," Li Qing thought to himself.

To be honest, with his current state, he simply cannot see through the current ending.

Secondly, the ending is not that important to him. What is more important is how to survive the great changes in this world and get what he needs, such as the opportunity of the golden elixir.

"Senior Brother Li, this is the new filial piety of the sect on Shifu Island."

"Including the treasures that senior brother has not taken when he was in seclusion before, I will make my own decision and exchange them for spiritual stones and give them to senior brother."

After Mu Houyu saw that the matter was over, she took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Li Qing.

"oh"

Li Qing glanced at Mu Houyu curiously.

"Normally speaking, the new forces entering Shifu Island naturally need to visit Senior Brother Li first, but because Senior Brother is in seclusion, I took the initiative to reject them."

"These are the spiritual stones they offered as offerings, and inside the storage bags are the specific treasures offered by the major forces."

Seeing Li Qing's curious expression, Mu Houyu explained.

In order to get rid of the suspicion of his secret operation, he also clearly recorded every treasure.

"Haha, having said that, thank you Junior Brother Mu for your trouble."

Li Qing smiled and took the storage bag.

Naturally, he would not refuse anything that belonged to him, not to mention that he was really short of spiritual stones now.

He had spent a lot of money to refine the Dao Weapon Formation, and the spiritual stones he had stored in his hands had been exhausted.

He now has less than 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones left.

For him, a bottomless pit of resource consumption, it is nothing worth mentioning.

After Li Qing opened the storage bag, he was surprised.

Three hundred middle-grade water-type spiritual stones were quietly placed in the storage bag, which was a considerable fortune.

His consciousness glanced at the list.

It contains information about more than a dozen forces coming to visit him. After all, they are all foundation-building monks, so it is unlikely that they will bring out some incomprehensible treasures.

Most of them are worth one or two thousand lower-grade spiritual stones.

Mu Houyu also took special care to replace it with a medium-grade water spiritual stone.

"Junior Brother Mu is interested."

Li Qing said calmly.

"As long as you are satisfied, senior brother. My current position is all thanks to senior brother Li. I hope I will have the opportunity to cooperate with senior brother in the future," Mu Houyu replied with a smile.

The reason why he is so attentive to Li Qing is that he is grateful, and he also hopes to get closer to Li Qing.

As long as Li Qing is strong, even a monk with a foreign surname can affect some things within the Mu family.

Through contact, he found that although Li Qing was only a middle-grade spiritual root, for some reason he was very optimistic about Li Qing's future path. In a short period of time, this middle-grade spiritual root with ordinary qualifications had become a person at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

This kind of cultivation speed is also particularly impressive.

What's more, Li Qing has a close relationship with Mu Ziyu, and it would be quite beneficial for him to have a good relationship with a core member of the Mu family.

Mu Ziyu is different from him. In the final analysis, he is just a businessman. Even if he is smart, he will never be able to enter the inner circle of the Mu family.

Mu Ziyu is a monk who is not only smart but also talented.

After seeing that Li Qing was no longer talking, Mu Houyu consciously said goodbye and left.

Silence returned to the main hall.

Li Qing's eyes were filled with contemplation.

Regarding the current situation in the inner sea, he naturally has more than one channel: Mu Houyu. Sun Yu in the sect will also often pass on the latest news about the sect to Li Qing.

Therefore, he is also very aware of the changes within the sect.

The situation was more dramatic than Li Qing expected. Li Qing originally thought that the emergence of demon cultivators was a gradual process, but judging from the current information, it was not that simple.

The Ghost King Sect actually made moves in several major areas of influence at the same time. Naturally, it had ulterior motives.

"It's better to deal with your own affairs as soon as possible and improve your own strength as much as possible," Li Qing thought to himself.

Only strength is where all his confidence lies.

Li Qing knew in his heart that the only thing that could take him a step further was for Fa Xiu's strength to enter the late stage of foundation building.

He had already planned this. After the Shifu Island mission was over, he could start breaking through to the later stage of foundation building.

Mainly because the opportunity for breakthrough is not on Shifu Island.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Qing walked towards the outside of the island.

I saw a streak of rainbow light passing by, disappearing into the sky under the admiring eyes of the stationed disciples.

In an unfamiliar sea.

Li Qing's figure stood above the sea.

On one side of him was the second-order Sky Star Turtle.

It has been a long time since he entered the sea. At this time, the Star Turtle still has his childlike innocence and is constantly swimming in the sea.

Li Qing glanced at the Sky Star Turtle's monster body, which was a bit bigger, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

Concentrating on self-cultivation is not as fast as the Star Turtle sleeping all the time to improve the strength.

With Li Qing's resource supply, the Sky Star Turtle has now reached the peak of the early second level, and is only one step away from the mid-second level.

boom!

A huge wave surged out.

The Sky Star Turtle was lying leisurely on the huge waves, looking around.

Li Qing gently shook his head.

He came here specifically for his own purpose. At present, the green water dragon snake in the Zhenhai Pearl has been born, and now it needs to be sacrificed together with the formation diagram.

In fact, if Li Qing hadn't deliberately suppressed them, those green water snakes would have been born long ago.

Previously, Li Qing accidentally discovered that the green water snake's egg that entered the Zhenhai Pearl seemed to be a little more powerful than before under the nourishment of the Zhenhai Pearl.

Since then, he has been suppressing the emergence of the green water dragon snake.

At present, the main reason for the emergence of the green water snake is to see that its aura has reached its peak.

Li Qing looked around and found that no one was around, so he released the green water snake from the Zhenhai Pearl.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Slender blue figures kept appearing in the sky.

They are the newly born green water dragon snakes.

These green water dragon snakes look the same as those that Li Qing killed before. The only change is that there is a subtle pattern on the monster body of the green water dragon snake hatched by Zhenhai Pearl.

Maybe it's because it absorbed a lot of power in the Zhenhai Pearl.

The aura emitted around these green water snakes after they appeared was already the aura of first-order monster beasts.

It is much more powerful than the newly born green water dragon snakes that Li Qing sacrificed with blood.

Mainly because Li Qing fed them all the dead eggs that could not be hatched before in Zhenhai Pearl.

It is normal for the aura to be stronger after absorbing the same kind of power.
