At this moment, a disciple of the Qing family walked into the main hall, bowed to Liu Ming and saluted him, saying:
"I would like to inform the Patriarch, the old man Gai Haipeng, the old man, came to visit and said that he would find the Patriarch for important matters. He is waiting outside the valley at the moment."
Liu Ming frowned when he heard this, and then ordered: "Please come in."
The Qing family disciple agreed, turned and flew away.
"What is Gai Haipeng doing here at the moment? Hmph, this person, Roetou Mumu, previously colluded with the Di family to take away Moyun Valley, and after seeing the strength of the Patriarch, he invited pets to flatter, and the villain acted." Qinggu snorted. , Said disdainfully.
"Gai Haipeng's character is not very good, but this time he came, he should have been ordered by the ancestor of the Gai family to give Moyungu to us. The so-called so-called not to hit the gift giver, take a look first. "Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
The technique used by the two of them to talk, two rays of light shot from a distance, and fell in front of the main hall. It was Gai Haipeng and the Qing family disciple.
"Patriarch Liu, Haipeng underneath is chatting again today." As soon as Gai Haipeng stepped into the hall, before Liu Ming could speak, he greeted him from a distance, with a rather enthusiastic tone.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Gai came from afar, please sit down." Liu Ming stood up, gave a greeting in reply, and then motioned to Gai Haipeng to sit down.
"I don't know why fellow Daoist Guy came here this time?" Qinggu asked indifferently.
Seeing Qinggu's attitude, Gai Haipeng knew that he was resentful because of the Di family, but he was also a very deliberate person. Instead, there was a smile on his face indifferently, and he took out one like a trick. The white jade brand said to Liu Ming:
"Haha, Gai was deceived by some unfamiliar evildoers a few days ago. He was offended. Please forgive me from Patriarch Liu and the elders. In the next time I come here, I will come here to plead for sins. Transferred Moyun Valley to the Qing family in the name of
Upon seeing this, Liu Ming made a one-handed move, and a roll of black energy wrapped the jade card in Gai Haipeng's hand back in his hand. His spiritual sense was slightly swept, and he saw that the jade card was something similar to a jade slip with Moyun inside. The map of the valley and the contract certificate of the Central Dynasty.
"Your family is really polite. Daoist Laogai has come here this time." Liu Ming smiled slightly, putting away the jade card, and said.
"You Daoyou Liu works for Venerable Yupo. It is our blessing to choose me to build a family. It should be, and it should be. If there are any other requirements in the future, the Gai family will definitely cooperate fully," Gai Haipeng said with a smile.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and a shadow of cloud flashed in his eyes.
Gai Haipeng's remarks obviously meant to test himself.
Gai Haipeng noticed the change in Liu Ming's expression, and his heart was chilled, but he was under the orders of the ancestor of the Gai family, and there were some things that could only be done bitterly.
"From tonight, the Qing family can also be said to have really taken root and settled in the Yanyun Mountains, and I will have to walk more later." Gai Haipeng laughed a few times, said something on the scene, and turned the topic away.
"My Qing family just settled down in the Yanyun Mountains, how can we compare with the Gai family?" Liu Ming said with a faint expression.
"You can't say that. Although the Qing family settled in the Yanyun Mountains late, the Liu family master's supernatural powers have become sacred and have a wide range of connections. My ancestor of the family family originally wanted to visit the house in person this time, but because of the cultivation of a supernatural power, he still needs to retreat. , So I couldn't come, I am deeply sorry, and asked me to apologize to Patriarch Liu on my behalf." Gai Haipeng said with a slight smile.
"The ancestor is too polite, it should be Liu who went to the meeting." Liu Ming frowned, then stretched out, and said with a faint smile.
The two sides chatted without a smile. Gai Haipeng tapped and asked about the relationship between Liu Ming and the Central Dynasty. His small eyes kept looking at the changes in Liu Ming's expression, but Liu Ming killed Di Long on the same day. The scene made him still fresh in his memory, and he was afraid of asking too much.
After the two parties chatted for a while, seeing Qinggu's expression worsening, Gai Haipeng found a reason wittily and left.
"Patriarch, I think that although the Gai family has transferred Moyun Valley to us, they have no good intentions. This Gai Haipeng has just been attacking the relationship between the Patriarch and the Central Dynasty. We must prevent it." Gai Haipeng As soon as he left, Qinggu said immediately.
"The Gai family has dominated the Yanyun Mountains for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, we don't want us to hinder their supremacy. It is normal to spy on our fictitiousness and reality, so there is no need to make a fuss." Liu Ming said indifferently.
"Yes, Patriarch." Qinggu agreed, his eyes turned, his face couldn't help showing a little curiosity.
"Why, do you want to inquire about the relationship between me and the Central Dynasty?" Liu Ming said with a slight smile.
"Subordinates don't dare." Seeing the peaceful smile on Liu Ming's face, Qinggu's heart stunned for some reason, and he hurriedly bowed in a salute.
The Qing family members were very curious about the relationship between Liu Ming and the Central Dynasty, but they didn't dare to ask more if Liu Ming said it.
"My relationship with the Central Dynasty, I will explain it to you when I have the opportunity in the future." For some reason, Liu Ming's mind flashed through the shadow of Zhao Qianying, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Qinggu nodded quickly, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Then what should we do now?"
"Let the disciples in the family go out and walk less recently, and don't keep close contact with some of the surrounding families. Although we have abundant resources now, the strength foundation is still relatively weak, let's rest and rest for a while." Liu Ming groaned for a moment, said.
"Yes, Patriarch." Qinggu agreed.
…
Since the Qing family really took over Moyun Valley from the Gai family, it has become more and more low-key, and there is not much contact with the surrounding families.
Some of the surrounding aristocratic families visited and were only received by a few young elders. As for Liu Ming, the mysterious leader of the Qing family, he rarely appeared in public, and it was rare for ordinary disciples to see his true face.
With the passage of time, the Qing family remained behind closed doors and cultivated hard, and there was no sign of profit-seeking expansion, and the surrounding families gradually lost interest in the Qing family.
Although the Gai family has been paying close attention to the Qing family, because of fear of Liu Ming's relationship with the Central Dynasty, there is no outrageous behavior.
Moreover, the time of the Demon Emperor's tribute is approaching, and the Gai family has no time to pay too much attention to the Qing family.
In a blink of an eye, five years passed in a flash.
Today, the Qing family has not changed much from the outside, but in the interior, earth-shaking changes have already taken place.
With reference to the Taiqingmen system, the Qing family kept everything in order. The clan also had a profound hall, a Tibetan scripture pavilion, a alchemy pavilion, a refining equipment pavilion, and so on.
The batch of ancient classics Liu Ming brought out from the Demon Abyss Tower was also renamed and gradually taken out. According to the degree of difficulty, function and strength, they were classified into various areas in the Clan’s Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. For children of the tribe to read through the contribution point.
It's just that when Qinggu and other celestial phenomena realm tribes have read these classics, the degree of shock in their hearts can't be increased.
These formations, classics, alchemy secrets, etc., are all exquisite and incomparable, making people breathtaking.
However, since Liu Ming came to the Qing family, what he did has always been amazing, and Qing Gu didn't think much about it except for the growing respect for this young family.
Relying on these ancient books, the Qing family has cultivated a group of potential alchemists, refiners, and formation masters in just five years. Although they are all first-sighted, they are still coming to Japan for a long time.
The large number of precious things Liu Ming brought out from the Demon Abyss Secret Realm, coupled with some external medicinal aids, is also a great advancement in the strength of the Qing family, although due to the short time, no new celestial phenomena and true pill realms have appeared. , But the tribesmen who were originally stuck in the bottleneck have loosened many bottlenecks and even broke through the bottleneck.
This situation made Qinggu and the others very excited. With this development, within a hundred years, the Qing family will surely be able to stand out in the Yanyun Mountain Range, and it will not be difficult to overwhelm the Gai family.
Time passed day by day, and time was getting closer and closer to the days of the Tribute Demon Emperor.
According to the regulations of the Central Dynasty, any aristocratic family in the dynasty must go to the Central Imperial City on the day of tribute to the Demon Emperor and participate in sacrifices.
Of course, due to the rebellion of the Liu family, one of the four great tribes, there may be some changes in this tribute.
In any case, some large families in the Yanyun Mountain Range had already prepared for this.
Regarding the amount of tribute to be offered, the Central Dynasty has no regulations.
However, the major families will not be stingy. This is not a mere celebration of the Tribute Demon Emperor. The major families can also take this opportunity to show their family strength and make friends with other forces at the same time.
The Qing family now has strong financial resources. Qinggu and others originally planned to prepare some more treasures. They made a blockbuster at the tributary ceremony and made the name of the Qing family, but because Liu Ming ordered to act in a low-key manner, it gave up.
In the Qing Family Discussion Hall, Liu Ming and the four celestial elders of the Qing Family gathered here, discussing tributary matters.
At this moment, the tribute date is only more than a month. Although Quanzhou is not far from Yuzhou, where the central imperial city is located, it must leave as soon as possible.
"This time paying tribute, I, as the Patriarch, will naturally lead the team personally. Stay in the clan and practice with great concentration." Liu Ming's eyes flashed and said lightly.
"Patriarch, the tribute halls of the demon emperors of the past generations will not be peaceful, and there are many trivial things along the way, so let's bring an elder to accompany..." Qinggu heard that Liu Ming went to the meeting alone, a little anxious, and immediately persuaded.
Qing Cong, Qing Fang, and Yan Shan also quickly persuaded.
"The Yanyun Mountain Range seems calm, but the undercurrent is surging. It's better for you to stay in the clan." Before Qinggu finished, Liu Ming said lightly.
"Be careful to follow the Patriarch's law, and I will guard the Qing family well." Seeing Liu Ming's resolute attitude, the Qinggu people had no choice but to agree.
At the same time, the worship team of the Qing family had already been prepared. A giant cyan flying boat tens of meters long was parked on the Qingshi square in front of the Qing family's meeting hall. A dozen fellow Qing family disciples stood beside the flying boat. Everyone's face was full of excitement, and they looked like they were all ready to go.
