Mingjie and his team only have some ideas and some practical attempts in their research, but the results are not yet available.

This is not just his own business. What he can do is to purify and convert the power in the third-level star-light weapon. How to design a pill recipe, how to use it as a medicine, and achieve the effect of being the main medicine depends on the alchemist to study the method.

Mingchao also needs to put in effort in this regard.

This is probably another long-term job.

...

A year later, a news was spread widely in Feiyunzhou.

The Kong Tongdao Ren has advanced to the ninth level of the Golden Pill.

This matter is quite reasonable. He devoted himself to practicing, and even the increasingly in-sect internal strife that has recently become increasingly fierce, he didn't care to calm down, because it must be because it was a more critical time.

It's true.

The ninth level of the Golden Pill, Kong Tongsan has been overwhelmed for a lifetime in terms of cultivation.

Not counting Li Yanling, who has just entered the Golden Pill stage, is the remaining two great golden elixirs in Feiyunzhou, Lu Qing is nominally the fifth level of the Golden Pill, and the Sande of Hai is only the sixth level of the Golden Pill. Both of them have not entered the late stage of the Golden Pill stage.

The ninth level of Kongtong Jindan, in an ordinary sense, Lu, Hai and Li combined, are probably not his opponents.

In addition, the news that he entered the Ninth Level of the Golden Pill spread a little suddenly and too quickly. Even, in a sense, the news spread so quickly to everyone, probably because there were people from the head lineage who were behind the scenes to fuel the fire.

And it is indeed very powerful.

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

If the leader's lineage is about to start a counterattack, it is a bit difficult for the Lu family, who is beating and drumming next to each other, to stay out of the matter.

The situation became a little bad within half a year.

In the past period of time, Husheng Trading Company has been briefly mastered by the Hai family, even the same way of southbound trade. But during this period, the leader's lineage has fought back a lot.

In Zhongshan and Guangyang, the family with the same lineage as the head of the sect has increased its reputation and is quite a bit like breaking the balance.

Even on the edge of Anling County, something big and small has emerged.

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

Changhong Zhang family had a small black seal stone mineral, which was stolen. The two medium-sized families in Guangyang and Zhongshan also announced that the mineral was related to them. One hundred and twenty years ago, their ancestors had also developed the mineral. The Zhang family had not come to Changhong County 120 years ago, so they should not have produced minerals.

What we said is true, but not all. At that time, Changhong County was the leader of a family named Wei. They were of average strength. Although the minerals were in Changhong County, they were relatively close to the junction of Guangyang and Zhongshan in the south, and other families also discovered them.

In order to avoid conflict, the Wei family and the three nearby families worked together to develop the mineral vein here. Then, they exchanged other interests and completely included the black seal stone mineral into their own hands.

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

Black seal stone is a kind of black jade ore with natural patterns. This object can be used as building materials after polishing, which has a better spiritual power bearing effect. It is to build many buildings required for cultivation, such as fire refining rooms, and large bases of the mountain protection array...

This ore vein 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 give up.

At the county border, some conflicts occurred between the two sides. Finally, the two families joined forces to rush into the mining area and drove away the Zhang monks.

In this incident, four people died, all of whom were cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

After being bullied, the Zhang family naturally had to find a backer. Their backer was naturally the boss of Anling County, and their sect leader, Lu family.

Can you ignore this?

"It must be taken care of." At the Lu family's own meeting, Lu Chaojun, as the family's commonwealth elder, said, "Snatching Zhang's ore veins is equivalent to being unable to get along with our Lu family."

This is not because he has any good relationship with Zhang or has gained benefits, but because it is very real.

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

After all, Zhang paid three or four hundred spiritual stones to the Lu family a year. The Lu family has been consuming this money for fifteen years since Chaoxi got married, so it cannot be eaten in vain.

What's more, if the Zhang family lost this mineral, their family income would drop sharply by more than 20%. The spirit stones they offer to the Lu family every year would definitely be greatly affected.

"I feel that no one can support this matter later." Lu Chaohe said, "Otherwise, the Wang family and Bai family are not aware that we are behind Zhang family? It is probably a test of the claws who dare to stretch towards Anling like this unscrupulously."

Ming Chao also expressed his opinion: "For this kind of test, the best way is to slap it back, and cut it off as much as it stretches out. It will not hurt, and I will dare to do it next time."

She has always been a hardliner representative of the family.

"But if the attitude is too intense, will the conflict intensify? It is possible that the eyes of the head of the sect will be attracted from the Hai clan and Donghai County to us."

Lu Chaoxi was a little worried.

However, this time, Tokaga also supported his sister: "This does need to be worried 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 other families in the county, otherwise they will easily turn to the head line and shake our foundation. On the other hand, the Hai family is the one with a greater conflict with the head line. This main contradiction will not be transferred to us in one go. Moreover, we can also share the pressure for the Hai family. Now we need both of us to stand together more than before."

"As for the intensification of the contradiction... if you take a step back, the opponent can make two steps forward, and there will always be a time when you cannot retreat."

These words convinced Lu Chaoxi.

"That's it, Chaohe, Mingchao, let's go together this time. Ninth sister, listen to the seventh brother more when encountering problems."

"good."

"good."

...

Five monks from the Lu family set out on the same day.

In addition to the two Qiming monks of Chaohe and Mingchao, there were three other foundation-building masters who followed the team.

Lu Weiwen, Lu Xueting, Lu Jinchao.

The five people arrived at Changhong at the fastest speed, and they were quite dusty.

When Zhang saw two monks Qiming coming, he attached importance and was excited.

Before this, the morale of their family had been declining to a very poor level.

Now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief from the top and bottom.
