Zhang Tianhou waved his hand, "Although the origin of those people is strange, it should have nothing to do with the Li family. Otherwise, he would not ignore Li Shanai in the afternoon. I don't have to pay attention to him for the time being, just prepare to deal with the Li family."

...

A platform on the back mountain of the Li family.

This is where Li Zijie usually practices. Without the orders of him and Li Shan, few people usually come to disturb him. At this time, he was practicing the combat skills he had just obtained from his family here.

"Stone-breaking palm!" Li Zijie shouted loudly, stood his palm as a knife, and the internal force in his body was concentrated on his left arm. He pulled up more than one meter high on the spot, slashing at the protruding huge rock with one palm.

"Click!" Accompanied by the huge sound of cracking stones, a crack as thick as a finger appeared in the center of the boulder. At the same time, the boulder, about one meter long, also became two stones of the same size!

"Smack!"

There was a sound of applause from behind him, and Li Zijie turned around and found that he was standing behind him at some point. It seemed that he had seen the palm just now.

"Tsk tsk!" Li Feng walked over, looked at Li Zijie up and down, and sighed, "It's only been a few days! You have practiced this stone-breaking palm to this level! Thinking back then, when I learned this combat skill, it took me a full month to practice to this level! Alas, it turns out that people are so angry that they can't accept it!"

Li Zijie smiled slightly and ignored his brother's joke. He was not very satisfied with the fact that it took seven days to practice the Stone-Splitting Palm to this level! After all, this Stone-Splitting Palm is just a mere human-level combat skill and cannot satisfy him at all!

However, he also knew that advanced combat skills could not be learned by anyone who wanted to learn them. Even this set of the lowest-level stone-breaking palm was passed on to him by his father in private. Otherwise, as he was a first-level monk, he would not be qualified to practice them at all.

"By the way, is my cousin Li Yang back?" Li Zijie said with concern.

Although Li Yang is a natural medicine jar and has spent a lot of money on the Li family over the years, the Li family is still very concerned.

Li Feng shook his head and complained a little, "My cousin was in poor health, so he followed the man for no reason. He hasn't come back yet. I don't know if there will be any danger. You shouldn't stop me in the afternoon."

"Brother, I know you care about your cousin, but you didn't realize that the person who took away his cousin was a Qi Refiner?" Li Zijie blinked.

"Qi Refiner?" Li Feng was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously said, "How did you find out!"

"You forgot that your cousin Li Yang is the Qi Refiner. In the afternoon, the man had the same aura as his cousin, so I decided that he was the Qi Refiner. Li Yang also saw this and left with him, so I didn't stop him."

Li Zijie has always been careful. In the afternoon, he judged from Li Yang's expression and the aura of Lu Tianyu that he should be a Qi refiner, and Li Yang has always wanted to become a real Qi refiner. It is also a good thing to be able to follow that master.

Li Feng didn't think so and said angrily: "Even if he is a Qi Refiner, he can't just take his cousin away. Moreover, he hasn't come back yet."

Li Zijie smiled faintly, knowing that the eldest brother was related to Li Yang, so he simply changed the topic and said, "By the way, brother, why do you have the time to come here! Shouldn't you follow your father to inspect the trading ground?" Li Feng said strangely.

The Li family has many industries in the southern area of ​​Zhennancheng, with medicinal materials stores, spirit stone stores, weapons stores and two small trading halls. Although they are not as good as the Da Shang League, they are also the pillar industries of the Li family.

As the eldest son of the Li family, these industries will naturally be handed over to him in the future. Therefore, two years ago, Li Feng followed his father and began to slowly get in touch with these businesses and industries.

"Oh, don't mention it!" Li Feng was so angry that he said, "The Song family and the Zhang family are really not a thing! These days, they have joined forces to deal with our Li family! Many of the original suppliers and customers of the Li family have been pulled away by these two companies with benefits! For this matter, my father was so anxious that his hair turned white."

"United?" Li Zijie frowned and said, "Aren't the two families uncooperating with each other?"

"Who said no! These two families used to be sword-like and sabers, fighting back and forth! Who knew why they suddenly changed their sexual desire this time and actually joined forces to deal with our Li family! The Li family has been tricked by them these days and was forced to close the Li family's medicine shop!" Li Feng cursed. For this matter, he was not in the mood to participate in the Star Dragon Academy assessment now.

"So serious?" Li Zijie frowned. In the Li family's business, the most profitable medicinal materials are the ones that make the most profitable.

After all, there are scarce alchemists in Zhennancheng, which makes the medicinal materials here extremely precious, and the benefits they bring to the family are also obvious!

Now, the Li family's medicinal materials suppliers have been swept by Song and Li families at high prices. The Li family can only be forced to close Li Yaozhuang to slow down the shipment speed of warehouses. At the same time, they purchase medicinal materials from other drugmakers at high prices from surrounding cities.

Otherwise, when the medicinal materials in the Li family warehouse are used up and the medicinal materials cannot be taken out for the alchemist to refine. At that time, the alchemist leaves in anger, and the Li family will really become a second-class family!

So, Li Shan and several elders gathered together early in the morning to discuss countermeasures. Only Li Feng, who was equally anxious but helpless, came to Li Zijie to see if he could discuss any countermeasures!

Although Li Zijie is smart and calm, even Li Shan may not have any idea about this kind of thing, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy? So, he was worried for a long time and did not come up with any better solution!

"Or why should we kill the Qi refiners of the Song and Li families at night? If the Qi refiners are gone, what else will they fight against us!" After a while, Li Feng stomped his feet and said hatefully.

Li Zijie was stunned, assassination master?

This seemed like a good idea, but he shook his head and said, "No! Although the Qi refiner of the Song and Zhang families has only one or two levels of Qi refiner, they are Qi refiner after all. The Qi refiner has a special status, and the Song and Zhang families will definitely protect them well! Do you think that the two big families can kill our cousin Li Yang under our noses? No! So, this method simply doesn't work!"

"Hey, what do you think you should do? You can't watch them defeat us! Those two immortals will not let us go so easily!" Li Feng said hatefully.

At this point, Li Zijie didn't know what to do, so he had to persuade Li Feng: "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain! Let's go and see my father first! Maybe he can come up with any good solutions!"

"Oh, I hope!"

...

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Li Shan's study, they heard a sound of falling things. Then, Li Shan's curse came.

"Those two damn old guys are so despicable!"

Li Zijie and Li Feng looked at each other and pushed the door open and went in.

In the study, the four elders of the Li family and Li Shan were all sitting on the chair with a gray face. There were fragments on the ground in front of Li Shan, which seemed to be broken cups!

"Father, what made you so angry? Did the Song and Zhang families do anything to us?" Li Zijie asked softly after seeing several elders.

Seeing Li Zijie and the others come in, Li Shan's face calmed down slightly, but the anger in his tone remained undiminished. "Yesterday, the four elders and I contacted a drug supplier in Minlong City a hundred miles away. The drug supplier said that the medicine could be delivered last night, but we waited overnight and still didn't see their figures! Just now, the servants heard that the medicinal materials we booked yesterday had been purchased at twice the price! Now, the only two old guys who can do such things are Song Lei and Zhang Tianhou! I really don't understand, these two immortals have such great courage, and they actually purchased medicinal materials at a price of twice the price of us! You know, that's not a small number!"

In the room, everyone was silent.

Every time the Li family buys medicine, they can get one million gold coins, which is equivalent to the annual income of some small families. Moreover, now they still buy medicine from outside cities, so the price is naturally not as cheap as in the city.

The medicinal materials imported from Minlong City this time were worth three million gold coins, and the Li family even gave a high price of 40,000 stones. If calculated twice, wouldn’t it mean that the Li family and the Li family took out a total of 80,000 yuan stones?

This kind of courage is indeed shocking!

"It seems that the Song family and the Zhang family are planning to kill my Li family!" Li Shan said dejectedly.

This current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Li family. Once this continues, the Li family will inevitably be unable to bear it and collapse for only a moment. However, in this situation, what can they do?

At a loss, someone came outside to report that Li Yang was back and still brought the person who left yesterday.

"Hurry, invite them in!" Li Shan said a little surprised and immediately spoke.

Soon, Li Yang and Lu Tianyu walked in.

After entering the main hall, Lu Tianyu sat in the main seat as if no one was around, spoke lightly, and said, "Master Li, I am here this time to discuss something. Li Yang has a high talent in Qi refining. I want to take him away and practice Qi refining with me."

Yesterday afternoon, Lu Tianyu brought Li Yang back to the Hanshan Sect and tested his talent for Qi refining. He found that his talent was very high. Moreover, because he took medicine all year round over the years, his physical condition had long changed, and it was very suitable for practicing Qi refining.

Lu Tianyu had the intention of accepting disciples, so he took Li Yang home today to discuss this matter with Li Shan.

Li Shan naturally wanted to agree with Lu Tianyu's proposal. If Li Shan could really become a powerful Qi refiner under Lu Tianyu's guidance, it would be a great thing for the Li family.

He nodded immediately and said, "As long as Yang'er is willing, I will naturally not object. I just haven't dared to ask about his senior's origin and name?"
