I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

However, he is certainly not the only one with a headache now. Luo Tong must also be trying to find a way to deal with it. If the Xu family really achieves Foundation Establishment, then the two families will definitely be swallowed up completely.

With this in mind, Li Yuan decided that after returning home, he would first visit Xu Qingfeng to see if he was really preparing for the Foundation Establishment process.

Another question is whether he has actually found a suitable spiritual object for Foundation Establishment. While Li Yuan was pondering this, Li Daqiang, Zhang Shi, Li Shouqian, and Liu Yue'er from the Li family sat on the bamboo mountain, each of them circulating their cultivation techniques to absorb the Moon Dew that Li Yuan had brought back.

If one were to perceive carefully, one would discover that if Li Daqiang were to advance further, he would reach the seventh level of Qi Refining; if Liu Yue'er were to break through, she would reach the fifth level of Qi Refining; as for Zhang Shi, she would reach the fourth level of Qi Refining; and as for Li Shouqian, she would reach the third level of Qi Refining.

The other three all broke through to their respective realms, but Zhang was still stuck at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Zhang, who had not made any breakthroughs, did not show any sadness on his face. Perhaps he thought that his current life was no different from that of an immortal.

After the breakthrough, Li Yuan picked up the three Moonstones and placed them in the spot on the mountaintop where the moonlight was strongest. According to Li Yuan, the function of these Moonstones was to condense the power of the moonlight into dew.

However, Li Yuan did not know the specifics, and Li Daqiang could only send people to keep searching for books related to the power of the moon.

In addition, the number of spiritual fields in the Li family has increased dramatically. Although Daqing has dispatched many cultivators to the border, Li Daqiang vaguely senses that the Li family seems to be under surveillance again.

The recent appearance of some strangers in the village forced Li Daqiang to be cautious, and he could only let these people continue to investigate without alerting them.

As long as these people don't step into the core area of ​​the Li family, Li Daqiang will try his best to delay them. Besides, they are just ordinary people, and Li Daqiang has plenty of ways to spread false information to them in the small fishing village.

At this time, Li Yuan, who was unaware that the Li family had been targeted, was at Luo Tong's residence. After thinking it over, Li Yuan decided to contact Luo Tong first, otherwise, if the Xu family really reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the two families would have to fight on the same side.

This time, Li Yuan did not hide anything but spoke directly to Luo Tong about the matter. After all, Luo Tong was not a dullard and knew what was important and what was not.

Luo Tong's brows relaxed considerably after hearing Li Yuan's purpose for coming.

"Fellow Daoist Li thinks exactly the same way I do. Our two families are now on the same side, so naturally we should help each other."

Luo Tong then said with a solemn expression:

"Fellow Daoist Li, have you sensed that something is amiss with Fellow Daoist Xu Qingfeng? Fellow Daoist, there's no need to hide anything now."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded.

"Although I cannot sense anything, every time I get close to Fellow Daoist Xu, I feel a sense of unease, as if the person standing in front of me is not Fellow Daoist Xu, but an evil being."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Li, cultivators are naturally sharp-senseed. Your senses are not wrong. Fellow Daoist Xu has deviated from the cultivation methods of the Medicine Sect. Although there are countless Dao methods in the world, the path that Fellow Daoist Xu has taken is the demonic path in the eyes of ordinary cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression froze. It seemed that Luo Tong already knew that Xu Qingfeng had practiced demonic arts. However, what puzzled Li Yuan was that even if ordinary demonic arts could raise the upper limit of a cultivator, it could not be so exaggerated, unless Xu Qingfeng was not practicing the demonic path, but was a demon himself.

Seeing Li Yuan deep in thought, Luo Tong slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist Li need not worry. Even if Fellow Daoist Xu has truly cultivated the monstrous demonic art, it will not be easy for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Our two families still have time to prepare."

Li Yuan slowly came to his senses and then looked at Luo Tong.

"Fellow Daoist Luo is quite open-minded. It seems you are very confident in facing this Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong shook his head.

"No, no, Fellow Daoist Li, do you know what it means to cultivate the Dao?"

"It is the heart, the heart that faces all things without changing its true nature."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Luo is very insightful. Since Fellow Daoist Luo is so confident, then I will take my leave." After saying that, Li Yuan got up and left Luo Tongzhu's residence.

As soon as Li Yuangang left, a phantom image of the long sword in Luo Tong's hand floated out.

"You young upstart, do you really have a way to deal with this?"

Luo Tong immediately changed his expression.

"Senior, isn't this what you taught me? When faced with a question that you can't answer, just talk about it from a profound perspective, and someone will find a reason that fits their own understanding."

Upon hearing this, the phantom stepped forward and struck Luo Tong.

"As expected of Lao Tzu's disciple, he is truly a genius."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong shamelessly stepped forward.

"Master, if the Xu family truly produces a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they will surely attack our Luo family. What should our Luo family do then?"

The illusory figure spoke slowly and solemnly:

"Don't worry, I can still intimidate a Foundation Establishment cultivator." He then said with a serious expression:

"Although Daqing is a small country, what's strange is that so many lineages have emerged in such a small country. Moreover, in the area where Qingshan County is located, although there are not many immortals, the fortune of this place is becoming more and more abundant."

Although the Ouyang family is currently the master of the Great Qing Kingdom, within three hundred years, a new family will surely rise again and break the current pattern. I wonder if this rising force is the Luo family, which you belong to.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong's face also turned serious.

"Master, since you can clearly see the aura of this place, can't you also deduce which family has the potential to rise to power?"

Upon hearing this, the illusory figure sighed.

"Alas, the path of destiny is so profound. Not to mention me, even the most skilled cultivators of this world would probably be unable to fathom its meaning."

Seeing this, Luo Tong slowly said:

"Master, rest assured, with you in the Luo family, even if the Luo family is not doing well now, it will definitely rise again in the future. When that time comes, I will definitely lead the Luo family to fight at Manglong Lake and avenge you."

Upon hearing this, the phantom smiled and said, "Hahaha, fine, I've been waiting for this day."

After saying this, the two masters and disciples looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.

Li Yuan returned to his residence at this time. From Luo Tong, Li Yuan had confirmed that Xu Qingfeng was probably practicing some kind of demonic art, and that this demonic art was not the kind that ordinary cultivators could come into contact with.

At this moment, both families were suspicious of Xu Qingfeng, unaware that at a shop selling monster materials in Shuanglong Pass, Xu Qingfeng was acting as the shopkeeper.

As cultivators continued to come and go, Xu Qingfeng seemed to have found his prey and began searching for something on each of them, until a female cultivator with a dignified appearance but a cultivation level of only the fourth level of Qi Refining appeared in the shop where Xu Qingfeng was.

This female cultivator had exquisite features and a hint of allure in her eyes. Even though she was dignified, Xu Qingfeng could not hide the fact that her eyes could arouse a man's desire.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xu Qingfeng secretly placed a mark on him when no one was paying attention.

Xu Qingfeng's face turned frenzied as he watched the woman leave.

"The power of the Xuanming is pulsating, and the essence of the kidneys is flowing. This woman must be the defiled body of a prostitute who has lived for nine lifetimes. As long as she is refined, the most solid Xuanming Temple will surely be forged."

"Foundation Establishment Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Hahaha, I, Xu, will definitely reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."
