Chapter 25 Ambush
The shopkeeper, who was originally dissatisfied because of the prosperous business of Yunshanglou, which led to the bleakness of his restaurant, was now ridiculed by the group of monks in front of his face, and demoted Yingxianke to the dirt. He was so angry that he wanted to smash it immediately. The store on the upper floor of the cloud.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper still had some sense left in his heart and did not act impulsively, but the idea of taking action against Yun Shangshang was buried here.
After Yingxianke closed the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly left Fangshi and flew towards his family's ancestral land.
The shopkeeper's surname is Qin, and his family is a vassal family of the Yuan Ming Dynasty. Their clan is located three hundred miles away from Fang City.
After a while, shopkeeper Qin returned to the family and knocked on the clan leader's door.
"Why did you come back in such a hurry tonight?" The head of the Qin family frowned, his eyes full of irritation. After all, anyone who is disturbed while practicing is unlikely to be in a good mood.
Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly told the story of how Yun Shanglou had taken away the business of his restaurant, causing the business to be bleak, and cried out: "Chief, if this continues, Yingxianke will close down!"
"boom!"
Patriarch Qin slammed the table and shouted angrily: "In the past years, the business of welcoming immortal guests was very good. How did it become like this in your hands? Now you are still making excuses for yourself?!"
"Clan leader..." Shopkeeper Qin trembled all over and almost knelt down, crying: "I didn't lie to you, that Yun Shangstair really stole many guests from Yingxianke!"
There are no other restaurants in the market, but the business of these restaurants has not changed much because of Yun Shangshang.
Because most of these restaurants are inns, where monks come and go to rest, and spiritual food is just a supplement. Unlike Yingxianke, Heyunshangshanglou, which is only a place for eating.
"Then what's Yun Shangshang's background?" Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking, Chief Qin suppressed his anger and asked solemnly.
Ying Xianke is the main source of income for the Qin family. If the business deteriorates, it will affect the development of the entire family!
"I heard it's a restaurant owned by the Li family in Darong Island overseas."
"Li family?" Chief Qin immediately reacted and said, "Is it the Li family that sells water-refining elixirs?"
Seeing Shopkeeper Qin nodding, the clan leader's expression suddenly became much more serious. The Li family has been in this area for a year. Even if it is not widely publicized, many people know that the Li family has four foundation-building monks.
Except for Li Shiren and Li Shilian, who often travel outside, there are two remaining foundation-building monks. Outsiders do not know their realms.
But even so, under the rule of Yuan Mingzong, among the nine major vassal forces, the Li family was among the best and was not something the Qin family could offend.
Although the Qin family has a backer, the friendship between the two parties has diminished a lot over the years. If he is troubled again, I am afraid that his friendship with the Qin family will be completely exhausted.
Shopkeeper Qin felt anxious when he saw the head of his family fell into silence. He was worried that he would not dare to take action because he was afraid of the strength of the Li family. He immediately said: "The three major families near the Li family also have the idea of taking action."
"Are you talking about the Zheng, Zhang, and He families?" Patriarch Qin's eyes flashed with a glint, and he asked, "Have these three families sent people to contact you?"
These three major families are all located to the east of the Li family, which is the place closest to the outer sea of Yuan Mingzong. Because of the beast tide that breaks out every ten years, the monks of the three families are powerful, but the clan members are sparse.
Now that the Li family has exposed such a strong strength, how can they rest assured?
Shopkeeper Qin was shocked. He didn't expect the clan leader to guess this, but he also didn't think about it. As the leader of the clan, if he didn't have some sense, how could he secure his position!
"Hmph!" Chief Qin snorted disdainfully and said, "Idiot! You don't even know you're being used as a gunman!"
But having said that, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to take action against the Li family. After all, welcoming immortal guests is too important to the Qin family.
"Go and tell those three monks that we are not involved in this matter! They can do whatever they want. We and the Li family are just competing for business. There is no need to form a deadly feud."
"Ke Yunshangshang's Lingshi is indeed outstanding. We are not as good as them..."
Patriarch Qin's face darkened and he said: "I will find a way to solve this matter! You just need to tell those three monks what I said!"
Shopkeeper Qin heard this and said yes, but he was overjoyed in his heart. As long as Yingxianke's business recovers, he can continue to collect spiritual stones from it!
When he returned to Fangshi at dawn, shopkeeper Qin immediately contacted the three monks and told them what the head of his family had said.
"Hmph!" The monk from the Zheng family sneered, "I didn't expect the Qin family to be a bunch of wimps!"
Shopkeeper Qin remained silent, stood up and left, so what if he was ridiculed? There won’t be any less spiritual stones.
"What should we do now?" The monk from the He family asked: "The Qin family is unwilling to intervene, so should the three of us take action?"
"Of course we have to take action." The monk from the Zheng family said sadly: "And we have to blame the Qin family for the matter!"
After nightfall, the busy streets during the day slowly fell into silence, but a shop located in a hidden corner of Fangshi quietly opened its door at this time.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Qin, wearing black clothes to hide his true identity, stepped inside.
Shopkeeper Qin walked straight to the side full of jade plaques and used his spiritual consciousness to carve what he wanted to do. Then he walked to the old man behind the counter with the jade slip and asked, "I want to issue this task."
"A thousand spiritual stones." The old man glanced at it casually and quoted a price.
Shopkeeper Qin knew the rules here, so he honestly took out the spirit stone, then turned and left.
…
On this day, Li Zhirui got up early, cast a cleaning technique, and hurriedly flew towards the west.
Today he will go to Fangshi with Li Shilian, who is delivering materials and collecting accounts, and Li Shiting, who is replacing Li Shiren.
The purpose of Li Zhirui going to Fangshi was to sell a large amount of elixirs in his hands.
Since he taught his tribe to refine the Jade Spirit Pill, he no longer refined this pill in large quantities, but began to refine other spiritual pills.
Although these Lingdan families also buy them, they are not as open-minded as Jade Lingdan, so Li Zhirui can only go to the market to find buyers by himself.
However, this kind of thing was too dangerous, and Li Zhirui did not dare to act alone, so when he knew that Li Shilian and Li Shiting were going to Fangshi today, he made up his mind to use their banner to protect himself.
Li Shilian and Li Shiting had no objections to this, and Li Shilian even wanted to accompany Li Zhirui.
However, since Li Zhirui had a secret, he naturally would not agree and could only push the matter aside.
"Let's go!" After the three of them arrived, they activated the spirit ship and flew towards Fangshi. As soon as Li Shiting got on the ship, she said something to the two of them and entered the cabin.
Li Shilian and Li Zhirui both knew that she had a cold temperament and resisted contact with others, so they didn't care.
"They set off! There is only one foundation-building monk!"
The moment the spirit ship flew out of Darong Island, a messenger talisman flew out at high speed. Several monks who were ambushing on the way quickly got the news.
As for Li Zhirui, who was standing next to Li Shilian, he was not qualified to be included in it due to his cultivation.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Li Shilian was not the only foundation-building monk who came out this time!
"boom--"
When the spirit ship flew halfway, a column of water suddenly rose from the bottom of the sea. The huge impact almost overturned the spirit ship. Before Li Zhirui and Li Shilian could stand still, three masked monks in black appeared outside.
