Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Although he knew Dong Ping's thoughts clearly, he couldn't say it directly, otherwise both sides would be embarrassed, so he had to be more tactful.

So Li Guanhai continued his words: "I don't know what difficulties your sect has encountered. Since it has encountered it, there is no reason to stand idly by. Elder Dong, please tell me."

The rest of the people present were not fools. They immediately understood the meaning of the conversation between the two people, and their expressions were different.

For example, Dong Qingyu thought this idea was good, but she was a little embarrassed.

But then she thought that the matter that made her grandfather ask for help in person must be very difficult and tricky. Young Master Guanhai was famous all over the world. With him here, any problem could be solved.

Dong Ping did not answer immediately. He stretched out his hand and said: "Young Master Guanhai, His Highness Aoxue, please sit down."

After the two of them and the elders sat down, Dong Ping returned to his main seat and told the difficulties encountered by Liuding Liujia Palace.

A few days ago, the spiritual field of Liuding Liujia Palace suddenly lost its spiritual essence, and all the exotic flowers and plants planted in the spiritual field died.

The elders studied for a long time but could not find the reason, so they had to temporarily use the spirit gathering array to transport spiritual essence to the spiritual field, but the cost was a huge consumption of spiritual stones.

Liuding Liujia Palace is a Taoist sect, with many spiritual stone veins and business dealings with Putian Merchant Alliance, which can be said to be rich and powerful.

But the number of spiritual stones consumed every day is not a small amount. If this problem cannot be completely solved, will we have to rely on consuming spiritual stones to cultivate alchemy materials in the future?

That will only make us lose all our money.

After listening, Li Guanhai was thoughtful.

I remember that when I went to Tianshui Ancient Domain to rescue the Gu family, Danxia Sect sold various spiritual medicines and elixirs at high prices, and their way of cultivating spiritual herbs was to consume spiritual stones.

At that time, it was because the Tianshui Ancient Domain was almost engulfed by the force of erosion, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely thin, the vitality of the earth was drained, the spiritual fields lost their spiritual essence, and could not support spiritual grass, so they had to consume spiritual stones to cultivate.

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the upper realm is not as rich as before the war, in this central continent, it is not troubled by the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In addition, the Feng Shui treasure land and the spirit gathering array make the spiritual energy of the Liuding Liujia Palace extremely rich, but why did the spiritual essence of the spiritual field still dissipate?

Li Guanhai asked this question, thinking that the elder would shake his head and say that he didn't know, but he actually nodded and said: "To be honest with Master Guanhai, the spiritual essence of the spiritual field dissipated because of geological reasons."

"Geology?" Li Guanhai took a sip of the tea poured by the elder himself, without interrupting, and waited for the next words.

Dong Ping exchanged glances with the other elders, and then said: "Master Guanhai, what I am going to say next is the secret of my Taoist sect, please do not spread it."

Li Guanhai nodded: "Don't worry, Elder Dong, I have heard it, and I will never spread it."

According to Dong Ping, there is an ancient fierce beast under the ground of Liuding Liujia Palace. Although it is a fierce beast, it has the magical power to benefit the people.

The fierce beast is called - Earth Spirit.

Li Guanhai has seen records about Earth Spirit in ancient books. This fierce beast was born when the world was first created and grew up in an extremely evil place. It loves to devour flesh and blood, and prefers human flesh and blood.

The Earth Spirit has a strong bloodline and can naturally manipulate the power of the earth. When it moves in the low ground, it is like a fish in water, so it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Although this fierce beast is fierce, it can continuously release the power and spiritual essence of the earth, which can rejuvenate the earth and turn the desert into an oasis.

In short, the Earth Spirit is both a fierce beast and a lucky beast.

After the final holy war began, the earth spirits who liked to devour flesh and blood joined the demon camp.

After the defeat, the earth spirits were massacred and disappeared from the upper world.

But there are always exceptions. During the reign of Jiuzhou, a cultivator picked up a cub and thought it was some kind of auspicious beast. He wanted to raise it by his side so that he could fight side by side when he grew up.

Suddenly one day, the cultivator found that the cub he raised was actually the ancient fierce beast earth spirit that devoured countless human cultivators during the final holy war.

Upon hearing this news, the young cultivator knew that once this matter was spread, not only would the cub die, but he might also get into trouble, so he wanted to eliminate the trouble forever.

But in the end, the cultivator still did not kill it, because he found that instead of killing the earth spirit, it was better to use its magical powers to establish a sect, as long as he was careful not to be discovered.

So the young cultivator established the predecessor of the Liuding Liujia Palace and gained a foothold in the upper world from then on.

Over the endless years, Liuding Liujia Palace has experienced many incidents. It is unknown from which generation this name has been passed down. Anyway, this sect was definitely not called this name when it was first established.

The elders were silent.

Dong Qingyu was dumbfounded after hearing this. She had never heard her grandfather mention these things before, and she knew nothing about these secrets. She never thought that the prosperity of Liuding Liujia Palace was actually due to an ancient fierce beast!

Li Guanhai was also a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The elder said that the earth spirit loves to devour the flesh and blood of the human race. I remember that it is recorded in ancient books that no matter how high the cultivation of the fierce beast earth spirit is, it cannot eat Qi like us humans. So what has your sect fed it for so many years?"

He asked the key point of the problem at once.

Dong Qingyu's pupils shrank obviously when she heard this, and she stared at her grandfather, hoping that the answer would not be the same as she thought.

Dong Ping immediately explained: "Young Master Guanhai, please don't misunderstand. We don't use human flesh and blood to feed it. Every year, my Liuding Liujia Palace purchases a large number of livestock and poultry such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and assigns a number of outer disciples to be responsible for raising them. They are used to feed the earth spirits."

Dong Qingyu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and at the same time, a doubt in her heart was solved.

Ever since she could remember, she knew that there was a very large farm in the outer gate area of ​​the Liuding Liujia Palace. At that time, she didn't understand why they had to open a farm themselves when they could just go to nearby towns to buy food in large quantities?

The Liuding Liujia Palace, a prestigious and large sect, actually raised chickens and ducks by themselves. This kind of thing always felt a bit awkward and strange.

When she raised this question at that time, Dong Ping explained that they would feed those livestock and poultry with precious feed, so that eating them would be of great help to their practice. Ordinary chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep can only fill their stomachs and satisfy their appetites. How could they have so many benefits of raising them at home?

There was nothing wrong with this explanation, and Dong Qingyu believed it. Moreover, she just asked casually at that time and didn't take it to heart.

I didn't expect the truth to be like this.

Li Guanhai nodded. He thought that the Liuding Liujia Palace would use human flesh and blood to feed the earth spirits. If it was the demons, they would most likely do so, because in the eyes of the noble-blooded demons, human life is just like the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised by the Liuding Liujia Palace, not worth mentioning.

This kind of discrimination has existed since the beginning of the world, and it cannot be changed in a short time. It has to be done slowly.
