Shangqiu City is a medium-sized city under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It is close to the boundary of Bianyang Mansion and is a transit point for the distribution of materials from the two governments. Many casual cultivators like to sell the hunted beast crystals, elixirs and the like here. .
A few days ago, a grand Lingxiang Pavilion was newly opened on the main street of Shangqiu Chengdong City. Nearly a hundred pretty female nuns in uniform costumes came to the street and immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
This Lingxiang Pavilion sells everything, elixirs, magic weapons, equipment, accessories, spiritual fruits, fine wines, and even rouge gouache. It also has a "big opening promotion" event, and all items are 30% cheaper than elsewhere. , cheap and good quality, instantly set off a frantic buying frenzy, and the inventory was once sold out. I heard that in order to carry out this activity, Lingxiang Pavilion filled half a million spiritual crystals in one day, and five million spiritual crystals in ten days.
What force is so generous
After the uninformed cultivators inquired, they found out that the most powerful force in Lingxiang Pavilion was the newly emerged Tianhuang Sect in Youri City. It was said that the Tianhuang Sect was originally only a third- and fourth-rate force, but later under the leadership of the sect leader Chu Jun He destroyed Chaos Pavilion, the leading second-rate force, and emerged with an extremely strong attitude. As the gossip public unearthed, legends about the Tianhuang Sect surfaced one by one. For example, the leader of the Tianhuang Sect was able to mobilize the Immortal Cultivator Guild, and was inextricably linked to a certain high-level official of the Immortal Cultivator Guild; the Tianhuang Sect occupied the gate of Chaos Pavilion, and as a result, thousands of reserves were dug out nearby the next day. Hundreds of millions of spiritual mineral veins; Chu Jun and Zhao Yu, the masters of the Tianhuang Sect, won the first and second place among the rising stars of Chongmingzhou in one fell swoop; Chu Jun, the master of the Tianhuang Sect, had an affair with His Highness the Palace Master...
In short, gossip about Tianhuang Sect and Chu Jun filled the streets and alleys of Shangqiu City. Regardless of whether the rumors were good or bad, Lingxiang Pavilion was full of guests and made a lot of money every day. It is worth mentioning that everyone knows that the strongest force in Lingxiang Pavilion is the Tianhuang Sect, but the person at the helm is a charming beauty. Many people come to Lingxiang Pavilion just to see the stunning beauty of this businesswoman. Fengcai.
In the backyard of Lingxiang Pavilion, Li Xiangjun, dressed in a purple dress, was writing and drawing on paper with a charcoal pen, with some strange symbols and words written on it. Her jet-black hair was combed into a ponytail, with a hairpin made of tungsten gold and a longan-sized green jade bead on it, which was worth no less than one hundred thousand spiritual crystals. Li Xiangzhu, who advocated enjoyment, would never treat himself badly. The total value of everything she wears is at least over a million.
Li Xiangjun stared at the paper with a pair of bright eyes that were as charming as a pool of spring water. Her slender waist was tightly tied, and her proud hips were almost resting on the table. Her plump buttocks covered by her skirt were sitting on the chair, making them look even more round and attractive. Her graceful figure The curves are evocative.
After nearly an hour, Li Xiangjun put down the charcoal, lazily punched his sore waist with his left hand, picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip of tea. He said to himself with beautiful eyes: "I really don't understand. What kind of brain does that little man have to come up with such a simple and practical accounting method...Arabic numerals? "
puff! Li Xiangjun chuckled lightly, and suddenly looked out the window at the lotus pond in a daze, and said to himself: "It's been almost a year in the blink of an eye. It's almost a hundred years in the eighteenth floor. I wonder which floor they have reached now!"
It has been almost ten months since Chu Jun left Chongmingzhou, and Li Xiangjun has not been idle during this period. He is busy with the operation of Lingxiang Pavilion every day. Now there are branches of Lingxiang Pavilion in eight cities of Daming Palace, and they have even been opened to other mansions. In just one year, the number of Lingxiang Pavilions has exploded from the original two to twenty. time, and most of them are on the right track and starting to make profits. Lingxiang Pavilion can also be self-sufficient in operating funds, at least it doesn't have to make Li Youyin frown all day long.
It's no wonder that before Chu Jun left, he ordered the whole party to fully support Shi Tai and Lan Qier in building the Vientiane Formation. Most of the spiritual crystals produced by the two spiritual mines were spent like running water. Li Xiangjun urged for spiritual crystals. , Li Feihuo naturally turned his head with worry. Seeing that the spiritual crystals produced by the spirit mine were gone before they were warmed up, Li Feihuo shivered with pain.
When Li Xiangjun thought of General Manager Li's toothache when he saw her, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his charming look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile made people's hearts beat.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open without warning, and a little girl with pink and jade sculptures ran in on her feet. Her long golden hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing a blue skirt.
"Sister Xiangjun, when will daddy come back?" As soon as the little girl came in, she opened her blue eyes wide and asked in a childish voice.
Li Xiangjun couldn't help but brush the hair on his forehead with a headache. Only this lawless little guy would break in without knocking on the door.
"Beauty, how many times has my sister taught you to knock on the door before coming in!"
The little girl blinked innocently: "The door is unlocked!"
"You have to knock on the door first even if it's not locked. You have to be a good and polite boy so that daddy will like you. Do you understand?"
The little girl stuck out her tongue cutely, turned around, quickly slipped out and closed the door, then knocked on the door politely, and asked in a crisp and tender voice: "Sister Xiangjun, can the beautiful lady come in?"
A smile appeared on Li Xiangjun's face: "Come in... uh!"
As soon as Li Xiangjun finished speaking, the door to the room opened with a bang, and the little girl ran in like a storm, smiling and saying: "Sister Xiangjun, when will daddy come back?"
Li Xiangjun rubbed his eyebrows in confusion: "Sister, I don't know when your father will come back!"
The little girl's face suddenly fell and she lowered her head in depression!
Li Xiangjun walked out from behind the case, picked up the little girl, kissed her, and comforted her with a smile: "Your father will be back soon. He will be very happy to see the little beauty transformed!"
The little girl suddenly became happy again, her blue eyes widened and she asked crisply: "Is it true?"
"Definitely!" Li Xiangjun nodded and took out a fifth-level fire-type beast crystal from his storage belt, which exuded rich fire-type energy.
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, she stretched out her chubby little hand to grab the beast crystal, kissed Li Xiangjun on the face, and sweetly shouted: "Thank you, sister Xiangjun!"
Li Xiangjun patted the little girl's butt: "Let's go out and play. Sister Xiangjun will be busy for a while longer!"
"Oh!" The little girl ran out of the house obediently, not forgetting to swallow the fifth-level beast crystal in one gulp.
If this action were seen by outsiders, they would be scared to death. You must know that the energy in the beast crystal is extremely violent. Let alone the fifth-level beast crystal, even the first-level beast crystal will kill someone if swallowed like this. But the little blond girl in front of him not only ate the fifth-level beast crystal, but also licked her lips in recollection, patted her belly, and jumped away.
This little blond girl is the little beauty Niyu Fire Phoenix, whom Chu Jun left behind to protect Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun loved it so much that he was afraid that it would starve, so he spent huge sums of money to buy a large number of fourth-level beast crystals, and even fifth-level beast crystals. In the past year, the amount of spiritual crystals spent on buying beast crystals was almost three to four thousand. All in all. The happy little fire phoenix had plenty of food. As a result, he transformed in just half a year. His current strength is almost equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage. Looking at this posture, the little fire phoenix may not have to wait until adulthood to reach the sixth level, which is the level of god refining. period strength.
The father that Little Fire Phoenix talks about is naturally Chu Jun, because when it was born, the first person it saw was Chu Jun, so Chu Jun is its father in its mind.
Li Xiangjun sent the little beauty away and was about to continue settling accounts when a female cultivator with a faint fragrance walked in in a panic, bowed and said: "Master Xiang, we have urgent information!"
"What's the matter?" Li Xiangjun put down the charcoal and asked.
"Something bad has happened. The demon army raided the northwest of Youling Continent. Da Ri City fell. The Nether Desert Island was also occupied by the demon army. Nine-pronged troop transport ships in Jiuzhou Continent escaped from all four bows...!"
Li Xiangjun's face changed horribly, like a bolt from the blue, and his mind went blank. He shook his body a few times, held on to the table to keep himself steady, took a few big breaths, and asked in a deep voice: "What does the Youlingzhou military have?" reaction?"
"You Lingzhou's army is gathering to the northwest, and Bingyunzhou's team is also beginning to outflank it to the east. The two equations are attacking!"
"Damn it! Who is the idiot who leads the army of the demon clan? Actually... unexpectedly, no... it is impossible for the demon clan to do such a stupid thing. What on earth are they planning?"
"Master Xiang, what should we do now? The sect leader is still on the eighteenth floor!"
Li Xiangjun's expression changed, and he closed the ledger: "Go back to the mountain first!"
…
Youri City.
In the meeting hall of the Gong family, several heads of the family gathered together. The head of the family, Gong Wuque, was sitting high, followed by several elders of the Gong family in the Nascent Soul stage. Gong Zhengwu, the young master of the Gong family, was naturally also present.
Gong Wuque glanced at everyone present with lightning eyes, and said unhurriedly: "I just received the news that the demon army raided Youlingzhou and occupied Dayi City!"
Several elders of the Gong family couldn't help but be moved. One elder said in surprise: "The demon army is so powerful that it has attacked Youlingzhou?"
Gong Wuque tapped his fingers on the table and muttered: "The demon army is in a stalemate with Bingyunzhou's army on the glacier line of Bingyunzhou. It is really unexpected to split up the troops to attack Youlingzhou at this time, but it makes sense, but the location of the surprise attack is actually Bingyunzhou." Yunzhou is like the Great Sun City between Youlingzhou, and it really smells bad to have a lone army go deep into it!"
"Is there any conspiracy among the demon army?" Another elder asked doubtfully.
Gong Zhengwu said nonchalantly: "No matter what the conspiracy is, Youlingzhou is hundreds of thousands of miles away from us, and no matter how hard we attack, we can't reach Youri City!"
Several old guys nodded in agreement.
"Hey, now the Netherworld Desert Island has fallen into the control of the demon clan. Even if Du Wu and Chu Jun are lucky enough to pass through the 18th floor, they will fall into the siege of the demon clan when they come out!" Gong Zhengwu gloated. This guy failed to enter the top five of the Ming Dynasty, so he was naturally not qualified to enter the 18th floor. At this time, he heard that the Netherworld Desert Island where the 18th floor was located was occupied by the demon army. He gloated and secretly rejoiced.
Everyone in the hall smiled when they heard this. Gong Wuque smiled and said: "If Du Wu died on the Netherworld Desert Island, it would save the eldest prince a lot of trouble!"
"Father, if Chu Jun and Du Wu both fall, then the Tianhuang Sect will have nothing to rely on. Those two spiritual mines..." Gong Zhengwu said hehey: "If you are quick, you will lose it if you are slow!"
Gong Wuque's eyes flashed!
