Chapter 222 Provocation

Mingjie's research currently has only some ideas and some practical attempts, but the results are not yet available.

It's not just him alone. All he can do is to purify and convert the power in the third-order star weapon. Specifically how to design the pill recipe, how to use it as a medicine, and achieve the effect as the main medicine, it is still up to the alchemist to study the method.

Ming Dynasty also needs to work hard in this regard.

This is probably another long-term job.

...

A year later, a piece of news was widely spread in Feiyun Prefecture.

Fellow Taoist Kong has advanced to the ninth level of Jindan.

This is quite reasonable. He was so focused on cultivation that he didn't even care to calm down the recent intensifying sect's turmoil. That must be because a critical moment had come.

Sure enough.

On the ninth level of Jindan, Kong Tongdan has already overwhelmed his entire life from the point of view of cultivation.

Li Yanling, who has just entered the Golden Core Stage, does not count. Of the two remaining Golden Cores in Feiyun Province, Lu Qing is nominally at the fifth level of Golden Core, and Hai Sande is only at the sixth level. Neither of them have entered the late stage of Jindan.

Kongtong is on the ninth floor of Jindan, and in a normal sense, Lu Haili and the three together, I am afraid they are not his opponents.

In addition, the news that he entered the ninth floor of Jindan spread a little too suddenly and too quickly. Even, in a sense, this news spread to everyone so quickly, I am afraid that there are people in the head of the family who are behind it.

And it's really powerful.

After hearing the news, even Lu Chaoxi felt a little worried.

If the head line is going to start a counterattack... the Lu family, who is beside him, is beside him, I'm afraid it won't be easy to stay out of the way.

In half a year, things got a little worse.

In the past period of time, the Husheng Commercial Bank was briefly held in many key positions by Hai's lineage, even in the way of southward commerce and trade. But during this period of time, a lot of competition from the head lineage came back.

In Zhongshan and Guangyang, the family with the heart to the head of the lineage, the prestige has soared, which is quite a bit of breaking the balance.

Even on the edge of Anling County,

A small thing came out.

The southernmost county in Anling is Changhong County, which borders Guangyang County and Zhongshan County.

Changhong Zhang owned a small black seal stone mine, which was robbed. The two medium-sized families in Guangyang and Zhongshan declared at the same time that the mine was related to them. Their ancestors had also developed the mine one hundred and twenty years ago, and the Zhang family had not come to Changhong one hundred and twenty years ago. As for the county, there should be no mining.

The truth is true, but not all. At that time, Changhong County was in charge of a family surnamed Wei. Their strength was average. Although the mines were located in Changhong County, they were relatively close to the junction of Guangyang and Zhongshan in the south, and other families had also discovered them.

In order to avoid conflict, the Wei family and the three nearby families worked together to develop the mine. Then, in exchange for other interests, they completely took this black seal stone mine into their own hands.

Then, the Wei family declined, and the Zhang family took over the ownership of the mine.

Black seal stone is a kind of black jade ore with natural texture. With this object, it can be used as a building material after polishing, and it has a relatively good spiritual power bearing effect.

This mine can earn four or five hundred spirit stones a year. For Changhong Zhang, this is their lifeblood and the biggest source of income, and they will never let it go.

At the border of the county, there were some conflicts between the two sides. In the end, the two families rushed into the mining area together and drove the cultivator Zhang away.

In this incident, Mr. Zhang died of four people, all of whom were monks in the Qi refining period.

Being bullied, Mrs. Zhang naturally sought a backer. Their backer is naturally the boss of Anling County and their suzerain, the Lu family.

Can this matter be ignored?

"It must be managed." At the Lu family's own meeting, as the family's general affairs elder, Lu Chaojun said, "To grab the Zhang family's ore veins is to have trouble with our Lu family."

This is not because he has a good relationship with the Zhang family or received benefits, but it is very real.

The Zhang family is now a vassal of the Lu family, and if the vassal is bullied, it will definitely shake the prestige and rule of the Lu family in Anling.

After all, Zhang's family handed over three or four hundred spirit stones to the Lu family a year. The Lu family has eaten this money for fifteen years since Chaoxi got married, and it can't be eaten for nothing.

What's more, if the Zhang family loses this mine, the family income will drop by more than 20%. The spiritual stone they donate to the Lu family every year will definitely be greatly affected.

"I feel that no one will support them behind this matter, it is unlikely." Lu Chaohe said, "Otherwise, the Wang family and the Bai family, don't you know that we are behind the Zhang family? Claws dare This kind of unbridled extension to Anling is mostly a test."

Ming Chao also expressed his opinion: "For this kind of temptation, the best way is to slap him back and cut off as much as he stretches out. If it doesn't hurt, I will dare next time."

She has always been the hardline representative of the family.

"But if the attitude is too fierce, will the conflict intensify? It is possible to attract the attention of the head lineage from the Hai's lineage and Donghai County to us."

Lu Chaoxi was a little worried.

However, this time, Chaohe also supported his sister: "This is really something to worry about, but I think it is more important for us to show our attitude than to be afraid of this."

"On the one hand, it is to appease the other clans in the county, otherwise they will easily fall to the line of the head and shake our foundation. On the other hand, the biggest contradiction with the line of the head is the Hai clan, and the main contradiction will not be The matter will be transferred to us at one time. Moreover, we are also sharing the pressure on Hai's, and now we need both of us to stand together more than before."

"As for the intensification of conflicts... if you take one step back, you can take two steps forward, but there will always be times when you can't retreat."

These words convinced Lu Chaoxi.

"That's it, Chaohe, Mingchao, this time, the two of you will go together. Ninth sister, listen to the seventh brother more in case of trouble."

"it is good. "

"it is good."

...

The five cultivators of the Lu family set off on the same day.

In addition to the two Qiming cultivators Chaohe and Mingchao, there were also three foundation builders with the team.

Lu Weiwen, Lu Xueting, Lu Jinchao.

When the five of them arrived at Changhong at the fastest speed, they were quite a bit of a mess.

When Mr. Zhang saw the presence of the two Qiming cultivators, he was concerned and excited.

Before that, the morale of their family had already dropped to a very poor level.

Now, it's finally a sigh of relief.
