West of the city, the Zhang clan land!

Over the past year, Zhang's life has been getting better and better. Since Li Qingxiao's city gate made a statement, the monks in the Black Valley City have lost their malice towards the Zhang family.

Although the deputy city lord of the name of Heigu City is Li Qingjie, who doesn't know that the person who is actually managing Heigu City is the Qingxiao clan leader of the Li family. He expressed his opinion that Zhang not only was not targeted, but Li Qingxiao didn't even want a single Yunfu Restaurant that was assigned to Li family back then, and gave it to his aunt Li Lingbao.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason why Li Qingxiao did this, and he still wanted to enhance Li Lingbao's family status. As expected, Li Lingbao's treatment in the Zhang clan became even higher, and even the aging ancestor Zhang Bo's status was faintly below her.

Li Lingbao's qualifications for the top-grade water spirit root of the yellow rank are actually quite good, but because he had a house in the Zhang family before and his status was not high, his cultivation has been only at the middle level of Qi training for many years. Fortunately, after Li Qingxiao became the patriarch, he did not forget him even after he became rich.

Every month, Li Jincheng brought her and Zhang Yu a training resource, so Li Lingbao now has the eighth level of Qi training.

When he was young, Li Lingbao was very heartless. His cultivation level was nothing. Not to mention that his son Zhang Yu became the young clan leader, he became more and more powerful in the clan. Her husband Zhang Dingwu completely took power after Zhang Bo retired to the second line to enjoy his old age. His life became more and more comfortable, and naturally he valued his cultivation more and more.

Basically nothing happened, Li Lingbao would practice in the quiet room dedicated to Zhang.

"Mom! There is news about what you asked me to inquire about, and my cousin Qinghan told me!"

The hurried voice of his son Zhang Yu came, and a hurried voice appeared on Li Lingbao's face. It was a big deal to interrupt others' practice and replace him with strangers.

"You, you're rash!"

Come on, I have no choice but to have no choice, who can let it be his son?

Li Lingbao got up and came out, patted Zhang Yu on the head.

"Mom, Uncle Jin Cheng is here today! I almost beat Qing Han to be disabled. Fortunately, Cousin Qingxiao came forward to save him, otherwise Uncle Jin Cheng would beat him, which would make me laugh to death!"

When Li Lingbao heard his son's words, he couldn't help laughing. How could she not know about her nephew Li Qinghan's prodigal behavior? Speaking of which, his son Zhang Yu also made a fuss with him, but in the end he was just helping, and Zhang Yu did not produce the spirit stone.

As an aunt, Li Lingbao also advised Li Qinghan, but the other party always looked mysterious and seemed to have a secret heart, so she didn't want to say much.

But as time went on for more than a year, Li Qinghan's behavior not only did not restrain himself, but also became even worse. In just over a year, someone made a rough estimate that Li Qinghan's saltpeter acquisition center had at least 30,000 tons of saltpeter, which means that three million spirit stones had been spent.

Li Lingbao first expressed shock at Li Qinghan's financial resources, and then he felt something was wrong!

Without the Li family's money, why should Li Qinghan take out three million spirit stones alone?

She knew that Li Qingxiao was still in charge of Li, which means that Li Qinghan must have been instructed by his second brother to do such a thing. If Li Qinghan did it alone, it would be okay to understand success or failure.

But if it was the commander of Li Qingxiao, it would be different!

Looking at the fact that since his nephew Li Qingxiao took over as head of the Li clan in 2258, he has gone from a small foundation-building family on the verge of destruction to a double foundation-building family with one top-quality magic weapon in hand, and his clan members' cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he has become the actual management family of Heigu City.

How could Li Qinghan do such a nephew who is doing well and holding the building in Yu Jiangqing?

Li Lingbao was smart and immediately understood that there must be something strange inside. So she didn't object to her son Zhang Yu going to do this with Li Qinghan, and asked her son to inquire more about why Qingxiao asked Qinghan to do this.

Sure enough, Zhang Yu told Li Qinghan all the things he secretly told him, and told Li Lingbao everything.

Including the matter of making ice in saltpeter and the acquisition of all saltpeter on the entire Blue Sand Island, lowering the price of spirit fish, and raising the price of saltpeter, all told to my mother Li Lingbao.

As he spoke, Zhang Yu felt a little numb. After he learned about Qingxiao's cousin's plan, he could not come back to his senses for a long time.

After hearing this, Li Lingbao could no longer hide the shock on his face. He immediately realized that the ice cubes at home a few years ago turned out to be like this.

I was a little scared about Li Qingxiao's bold plan.

"No, how could Qinghan tell you this?"

Li Lingbao immediately realized something was wrong. Although Li Qinghan was a little naughty with such a big plan, he was not such a person who didn't talk about it.

"Mom, my cousin Qinghan said that it was Uncle Jin Cheng who asked him to tell me!"

Li Lingbao felt warm in his heart, and then he understood why Zhang Yu could find out such an important thing.

"Mom, I heard from Qinghan that Cousin Qingxiao will probably have to acquire it for another two years before starting to raise the price. Should we charge it with you?"

"Nonsense, what are you still hesitating?" Li Lingbao glared at Zhang Yu angrily.

Zhang Yu shrank his neck, and he was still very afraid of his mother. He said with a sense of worry: "I'm a little worried. If you buy saltpeter on the island, does Qingxiao cousin have so many spirit stones? Besides, if something happens at that time and the saltpeter is all hit in your hands, wouldn't we be too much of a loss?"

Li Lingbao sighed in her heart. Zhang Yu was obedient and sensible. He never caused trouble for her. He had a good relationship with his parents, which was considered her heart.

But she lacked courage to do things, was a little cautious and used to following her mother's advice, which led to her lack of opinion, which made her feel a little guilty.

But then I thought that Zhang Yu and Li Qingxiao had a good relationship. With Li Qingxiao's help in the future, my son would definitely not be doing too badly, and the guilt in his heart also disappeared.

"Silly boy, I ask you, who is the real master of Black Valley?"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, reacted and replied: "Of course it's Zi Jian Pavilion!"

"Since Zijian Pavilion is the master, your cousin makes such a big noise, won't they know? Zijian Pavilion has not responded, why?"

"Mom, are you saying that Zi Jiange is involved in this matter?" Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

A hint of praise flashed in Li Lingbao's expression and said, "Of course, your cousin Qingxiao is not stupid. For such a big thing, let alone him, even the Zheng family in the previous period, even the foundation-building families in Heigu City combined, would not be able to do it!

Acquisition of saltpeter reserves on the entire Blue Sand Island is not something that can be done with millions of spirit stones! Who else has this strength in the entire Blue Sand Island except Zijian Pavilion?

Not only participate, Zijian Pavilion occupies a dominant position, Qingxiao may have just come up with an idea!”

With Zi Jiange participating, the persuasion of such a thing will soon become greater. Not to mention that Zi Jiange has been in Lansha Island for thousands of years, just say that the war in the past few years defeated the uncrowned king Guo, and lost three cities in Lansha West Island. Zi Jiange has now replaced Guo on the entire island and has become the well-deserved first force.

"Mom, I will go and tell my dad immediately that we will start collecting saltpeter too!"

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Li Lingbao nodded, but he still made up his mind to talk to her husband. With the fact that the ancestor Zhang Bo had little life and after Zhang Dingwu took power, many things in the clan were decided by her and Zhang Dingwu.

……………………

In the palace of the Lord of Heigu City, Li Qingxiao was wearing a blue dress, with a spotless white ribbon tied around his waist, a smile on his face, and a pot of wine in his hand, walked into the hall leisurely.

"City Lord, City Lord, I'm here to drink with you!"

On the high platform of the main hall, the left dew will always be a cool and lonely white gauze face, and the three blue water drop marks on the eyebrows give people a sense of distance thousands of miles away.

When I heard the sound, I saw the wine pot on Li Qingxiao's hand, and the eyes on the veil showed a little brightness.

"The spirit stone is gone again?"

Hearing Zuo Ninglu's words, Li Qingxiao smiled awkwardly, holding the wine pot, and said embarrassedly: "The city lord is really smart. You have guessed the next little thoughts."

"Has the price increased too fiercely recently? It's almost ten taels, and you don't plan to announce the saltpeter ice making!"

Li Qingxiao looked calm and looked at Qiongliuji, which was as red as blood in the wine pot, poured himself a cup, and said, "No hurry, on the Lansha West Island, there is just the beginning of Linjiang City. Tianhuo City has not made any noise yet. Only a few people know about the four cities under Guo's command. They announced that there are so many saltpeters scattered outside. Even if we raise the price, no one will buy them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to pick up the wine glass and pour it into his mouth. After taking a light shot of the left dew on the upper head, the wine glass and wine pot in Li Qingxiao's hand flew away directly.

"On the Lansha East Island, I also informed the sect that it has begun to acquire saltpeter in the three cities. In just one year, because of your plan, I, Zijian Pavilion, have spent 20 million spirit stones. If your plan fails, what will happen? Do you know?"

Zuo Ninglu took a sip of Qiongliu, gently ticked her mouth under the veil, her eyes squinted to Li Qingxiao, and her voice was cold and harsh.

Li Qingxiao was immediately shocked, and the anger of the woman snatching a pound of Qiongliu was instantly gone. He immediately lowered his head and bowed respectfully.

"Don't worry, the city lord will definitely not cause any losses to your sect. I hope the city lord will support it more in terms of funds."

Zuo Ninglu didn't say anything nonsense, and took Li Qingxiao's ring directly, turned it lightly, and handed it back to him.

Li Qingxiao opened the ring and found that there were tens of millions of spirit stones lying inside. The corner of his mouth suddenly withdrew a curve.

He looked up and found that Zuo Ninglu was still looking at him with a cold face. His hair suddenly stood up and he didn't dare to smile anymore.

No wonder I can't get married at such an old age, so I'm useless to lose such a good figure.

It’s still veiled on such a hot day, so my face must be very big. That’s right, the left face of the big cake is condensed!

Thinking of this in my heart, Li Qingxiao still said respectfully, "I'm going to say goodbye!"

Seeing Li Qingxiao withdrawing from the hall, Zuo Ninglu gently took off the veil, and a few traces of the girl's delicacy appeared on her face, and she said to the back: "Dad, when did you come?"

Behind the hall, a middle-aged man walked out with sharp hair and beards and sharp facial features like a knife and axe. His sharpness was revealed. He carried a purple sword on his back. When he saw Zuo Ginlu in front of him, his eyes were slightly softer.

"I've had enough fun this year! Why don't you go back to Feilai Peak with me?"

"I haven't started yet? Look at how much changes have been in Black Valley City this year. I'll go back when the saltpeter matter is over." Zuo Ninglu heard that her father wanted to take her back and refused.

"Nonsense, even if this saltpeter is profitable, what's the use of some spiritual stones? You go back to Feilai Peak to practice in seclusion and make pills as soon as possible!"

"Dad, don't force me!"

Hearing his father's scolding, Zuo Ninglu showed a pitiful look. Her eyes flashed at her father, and there was a hint of starlight, as if she was about to cry.

Zuo Lingjue immediately slapped his forehead and shook his head and said, "Your father, I, dare you to force me?"

Looking at my daughter's pitiful expression, I didn't know that I had ended up in vain when I wanted to take her home this time.

"Forget it, if you want to be crazy, keep mad! However, your elder brother has been criticized by those Yue family in the sect recently. With a plan, you took more than 40,000 spirit stones in the sect. If something goes wrong, your elder brother will suffer!"

When Zuo Ninglu heard that her father was not going to take him away, he immediately smiled, and then he heard the words behind him, his face became a little ugly.

"Hmph, now that I have just done it, they want me to fail! If it succeeds, they are still eager to ask my elder brother for spirit stones! A group of guys who are competing for the flames and shameless villains."

As he spoke, his eyes rolled and said to Zuo Lingjue: "Dad, although that little thief is cunning, his head is indeed good and he will definitely succeed. I can earn so many spirit stones for the sect at that time, it will not be too much for me to share a little bit!"

Zuo Lingjue was stunned, looked Zuo Ninglu up and down, and said strangely: "Little thief? Are you talking about the patriarch of that small family?"

After realizing that he said that Zuo Ginlu was leaking, he immediately shut up and stopped answering.

"What did you call him a little thief? He stole your stuff? That kid doesn't look like a stealing person!"

After hearing his father's words, Zuo Ninglu felt relieved.

"Yes, I caught him stealing something once, so I kept calling him a little thief."
