Chapter 189 Design
After entering the city, Li Jiuqing first found an inn, then rented a room and asked the waiter to find out the location of this place.
Fortunately, Li Jiuqing was relieved that although this Licheng was small, it was also under the jurisdiction of Qixia Sect.
Now the entire border city between Qixia Sect and Wudu Valley has been caught in the flames of war.
The city near the border behind Qixia Sect was still safe and sound at this time, and was not affected.
The only impact was the conscription of Qixia Sect.
According to the waiter, during this period of time, almost everyone from foundation building to mid-stage Qi refining was conscripted, and many families were miserable about this.
As for the cultivators in the Jindan realm, it depends entirely on fate. Even if Qixia Sect is a Yuanying-level force, it cannot really mobilize those Jindan cultivators.
"The conscription of Qixia Sect..."
"That's perfect, let's enter Qixia Sect."
Li Jiuqing made up his mind, but finding a conscription is not something that can be done at any time.
According to Li Jiuqing's memory
The sect's recruitment is a step-by-step process, with the superior conveying the information to the subordinate, and the subordinate forces conveying it to the major families, and the major families try to meet the recruitment requirements.
In other words, if Li Jiuqing wants to go, he must be recommended by the family here. After all, if any cultivator can go, who knows if he is an undercover agent or not.
With the recommendation of the major families, once there is a problem, the Qixia Sect can find out the root cause, and then thunder means will be taken to set an example.
With this in mind, those families dare not fool around easily, after all, if they are not careful, it may be the legendary clan elimination game.
Early the next morning.
After a simple rest, Li Jiuqing left the inn to find out the news he wanted.
Licheng is a small border town, and there are not many forces of all sizes in the city.
According to Li Jiuqing's exploration, there are a total of three forces in the city. The first one is Gouzui Village outside Licheng, which is responsible for the transportation of all sizes in the city.
The second one is the Bai family in the city, and the third one is the City Guard House.
Among the three forces, the City Guard House is the official force of the Tianxing Dynasty and does not get involved in these things, while the Gouzui Village is a third-rate small force that appeared later and has nothing to do with the Qixia Sect.
The only one that can be regarded as having something to do with the Qixia Sect is the Bai family in the city.
Among the Bai family, the most powerful one is in the early stage of foundation building, and the overall strength is somewhat similar to the Li family of the Dachi Kingdom.
‘The Bai family. ’
After a day of exploration, Li Jiuqing has confirmed his goal.
However, according to Li Jiuqing’s inquiries, the Bai family has stopped recruiting for some reason, so if Li Jiuqing wants to be introduced by the Bai family, he needs to use some other means.
...
Inside the Jiaoshan Stone Mine in Licheng.
At this time, Bai Chengzuo, the young master of the Bai family, is bringing people to inspect and supervise this place.
“Can you raise 5,000 kilograms of bluestone before the end of the month?”
Bai Chengzuo looked at the steward below and asked.
"Young Master."
"The East Three Mine can no longer be mined. The remaining East One Mine and East Two Mine can only mine 3,000 kilograms of bluestone per month."
Because of the Qixia Sect's call for conscription, the Bai family's ancestor, a 130-year-old foundation-building cultivator, has been forced to rush to the front line.
The Bai family currently has only this one foundation-building ancestor in charge. Once the ancestor has an accident, the Bai family will instantly fall into an endless crisis.
According to the regulations of the Qixia Sect, if there is only one foundation-building cultivator in the family, 500,000 low-grade spirit stones can be paid to offset the call for conscription.
That's why the Bai family is so eager to raise spirit stones and redeem their ancestor.
500,000 spirit stones, this number is definitely not small, but compared with the Bai family's industry, it will take about ten years to earn it back, but this premise is that the Bai family has a foundation-building cultivator guarding it.
Once the Bai family's ancestor dies, it will be almost impossible for the Bai family to keep the industry in its current situation.
That's why the Bai family is so eager to raise enough spirit stones to exchange for the Bai family's ancestor back.
"Damn it."
"What's the situation at the East One Mine?"
Bai Chengzuo looked at the man and continued to ask.
"My young master, a rat demon appeared in the East One Mine, and the mine entrance has been sealed. If the rat demon is not eliminated, the East One Mine cannot be mined in a short time."
Bai Chengzuo frowned and looked a little ugly.
"Rat demon?"
"What did the City Guard Mansion say?"
The servant sighed and responded after hearing this, "My young master, the cultivators at the City Guard Mansion asked for 50,000 spirit stones before they were willing to sell it, but the master family disagreed."
Now the Bai family has almost put all their wealth on the Bai family ancestor, and it is impossible for them to come up with 50,000 spirit stones at this time.
"Huh."
Bai Chengzuo took a long breath, then looked at the man with a melancholy face and said, "Let's escort these 3,000 kilograms of bluestone ore back first."
The rat demon is cunning.
Except for the ancestor who is a foundation-building cultivator, the highest cultivation level of the other cultivators in the Bai family is only the first and second elders who are at the tenth level of Qi Refining. It is still a bit difficult for them to face a rat demon hiding in the dark.
And once the first and second elders are injured or encounter accidents again, the Bai family will almost be finished.
"Yes!"
Three thousand kilograms of bluestone, not too much, not too little. According to the current price, if all are sold, there will be 30,000 spirit stones.
This income is also considered high in the border town of Licheng.
In the Bai family's mineral resources.
Three horn-drawn carriages followed Bai Chengzuo from the mining area back to the city.
On the way.
Bai Chengzuo led the carriage, followed by five elders of the Bai family in the middle stage of Qi training, and the remaining ten were guards in the early stage of Qi training.
However, at this time, in the dark, a figure quietly followed.
If nothing unexpected happened, this person was Li Jiuqing.
"Did you get it done?"
Beside Li Jiuqing, the tiger spirit showed its demon body and followed Li Jiuqing humbly.
"Did it happen? The monster in the mountain is only the first level. Although I don't have a physical body, my demon power is still there. It's easy to control some first-level monsters."
"Yeah."
Li Jiuqing nodded, and then looked forward.
The Bai family convoy moved forward, and then suddenly a strong wind blew. Bai Chengzuo and others instantly felt something was wrong and quickly became alert.
Then, a first-level wild boar spirit slowly rushed out of the forest under the gaze of Li Jiuqing behind.
"Oh no, it's the Horned Boar King!"
Bai Chengzuo called out a name that made Li Jiuqing stunned.
Then he thought about it and understood. After all, in this small place, any monster that popped out might be a king.
"Young Master, be careful!"
"This beast is not weak. We suffered a loss last time. We will trap him first. If we can't defeat him, please take your people back to the mining area and ask the second elder to come!"
