Chapter 238: Jade's Birth(1/2)
The first day of April 2308 in the Eastern Diary
Jingyuan Island Pier, people come and go, bustling, bustling
Since the Li family defeated the Donglin Bai family and destroyed the Yunkong Zhang family, Jingyuan Island has returned to peace. Not only that, the number of monks on the island has also experienced a sharp decline.
The biggest reason for the loss of a large number of monks is that it is on Yunkong Island.
Due to the opening of the free trade zone, not only Jingyuan Island, but also a large number of monks from Jinshayu, Lansha Island, flow to Yunkong Island.
Any foundation-building forces with some strength and financial resources have opened stores in Yunkongfang Market. As the number of monks on Yunkong Island increases and business becomes better and better, these small forces naturally rely more on Yunkongfang Market.
Most of the monk supplies they obtained, whether they were spiritual elixirs, talismans, talismans, or even various treasures of heaven and earth, except for their own use, were sent to Yunkongfang Market for sale.
Yunkongfang Free Trade Zone is backed by the three major Jindan forces in the south. It not only allows public tax avoidance and commissions for superior forces, but also guarantees safety.
But in this way, the local commercial environment of Jingyuan Island, Lansha Island and Jinsha Island three islands has been affected, which is equivalent to becoming a supply place for raw materials. Compared with before, a small number of materials have indeed been circulated internally.
However, it is not without benefits. This greatly reduces the local governance costs of Mishima.
Take Jingyuan Island as an example. At the wharf today, the family only sent Qiao Chun, a foundation-building cultivator, to manage and guard him, and at the same time he also assigned him thirty law enforcement disciples.
The people on the pier are busy with the people they have, whether they are greeting relatives and friends on board, or receiving people from other places, and some people who do business at the pier.
Although there are many people and the sound is noisy, there are disciples from the Li family's black-clothed law enforcement church patrolling everywhere, and it is not messy.
"Something is coming!"
Someone shouted, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the place where the sound came out. It turned out to be a innate realm power man, pointing his finger to the south sky with a look of horror. Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and their faces changed immediately.
A crane with an arm span of more than 100 meters was flying from the southern sky. The crane's wings swayed gently and rushed into more than 150 meters. Its speed was approaching the late-stage foundation-building monk. Although it was still dozens of miles away from the dock, the strong wind brought out had already been vaguely sensed.
"It's a monster in the foundation building realm!"
In a densely populated area like the dock, where there are dozens of miles of sea surrounding the sea, Li Qingjie had already led the law enforcement disciples to clean up, but how could a foundation-building crane suddenly appear?
Although everyone's faces were a little pale, they were not panicked because a sword light had already flown from the dock console to the sky. The one who stepped on the flying sword was Qiao Chun, the elder of Li.
Qiao Chun's cultivation level is now at the fourth level of foundation building. He is not afraid of the third level of foundation building. However, when he observed the amazing speed of the crane, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Seeing that all the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall below had gathered without panic, he nodded and spoke.
"The law enforcement committee members are organizing personnel to retreat."
"yes!"
Most of the disciples in the Law Enforcement Hall are still from the Qing family. The youngest in the Qing family are now in their sixties, and the oldest in their eighties are almost eighty years old. Those who can join the Law Enforcement Hall have the lowest level of cultivation of Qi training. They have been active on the front line of the family for a long time, and have not fought or eliminated monsters once or twice. They have rich experience. When they heard Qiao Chun's order, they immediately scattered all over the dock to evacuate the crowd.
"Uncle Qiao Chun, don't be afraid, it's me!"
But at this moment, a voice came from the crane's back, which made everyone stunned, especially Qiao Chun, who quickly looked up at the crane's back.
On the crane's back, a tall figure in a green skirt waved at the person on the ground pretty. Who is it not Li Biwei?
"Biwei?"
"Is it Elder Biwei?"
As they were close together, everyone could see clearly that the crane's eyes were as gentle as water. Although the wings waved to bring out strong winds, when they approached them, they instantly reduced their movements and stopped firmly on the dock.
Li Biwei patted the crane's head and jumped down.
"Xiaobai, go and play first. I will call you if you have something to do."
The crane actually nodded, cried in a very human way, and flew away obediently towards the beach.
"Biwei, aren't you helping with the patriarch and the others on Yunkong Island? Why are you back?"
Qiao Chunzheng asked, and saw a blue sword light flying from a distance. He hurriedly looked over. Li Biwei also turned her head and looked over, revealing a hint of pride.
"Brother, how is Xiaobai's speed?"
"The third level of foundation building has 150 meters per second, comparable to the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm. It's really good, I can't catch up with it!"
Above the thunder pattern sword, Li Qingxiao, wearing a green dress and a half-smiling smile, appeared in front of everyone, and Qiao Chun and the disciples of the law enforcement temple bowed excitedly.
"Greetings to the patriarch!"
"No need to be polite, get up."
Li Qingxiao smiled and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to get up.
Many monks on the dock saw it and immediately cast admiration at Li Qingxiao, making Li Qingxiao mutter. Only after hearing the whispers of many people did they understand.
"It turns out that the Qingxiao Clan Chief is back."
"Senior Qingxiao is busy with Yunkong Island, why are you back?"
"I heard from my elders that the Southern Alliance was facilitated by Senior Qingxiao."
"Not only this, but also the Free Trade Zone. The Qingxiao Clan Chief is now a big shot on the four islands in the south. I heard that he can be on par with Jindan Zhenren."
"What do you know? I've heard from people that the Qingxiao clan leader is about to form a pill. Maybe he will be the next Jindan real person in the south."
……………………
The content of these people's discussions became more and more outrageous. Even if they were about to form a pill, Li Qingxiao suddenly felt a big head and said to Qiao Chun: "The warship is still behind, it should arrive soon, I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he ignored everyone and galloped towards Fengdu City to the north with his sword.
"Why is the patriarch so anxious?"
Seeing Qiao Chun being a little confused, Li Biwei covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't the family ask someone to send a message last month that her sister-in-law is going to give birth? My brother is so nervous during this period. When the warship is fifty miles away from Jingyuan Island, my brother thought it was too slow and couldn't wait to fly back directly with his sword."
Qiao Chun suddenly realized and remembered this. Looking at Li Qingxiao's disappearing sword-taking figure, he immediately looked strange and smiled: "It's rare for the patriarch to look so panicked, hahaha!"
……………………
Liu Yuer was pregnant in June last year, and her life was about to be about to give birth.
Li Qingxiao had forgotten all this. If several aunts in the clan asked someone to send him a message, he might have missed Liu Yuer's childbirth.
It was really during the period when Liu Yu'er was pregnant that there were too many things in the clan. Li Qingxiao received a message from his clan members and immediately boarded the family's warship to and from Jingyuan Island. He had just arrived today. Before the warship approached the dock, he flew back with his sword first.
Today, Fengdu City has a population of over 10 million, and the city size is still expanding. The grain on Jingyuan Island is indeed a powerful tool to increase the population.
Not to mention those spiritual soils, since the expansion of the personnel of the Spirit Planting Hall in the Tiangong Hall, three or four spiritual plant masters have appeared in the family one after another.
Not to mention ordinary spiritual rice, the output of the five elements spiritual rice on Jingyuan Island has long exceeded that of the time when Yuan was there. In recent years, with the development and growth of the spiritual planting hall in the family, it has a growing trend.
Li Qingxiao just casually looked at the situation in Fengdu City and flew back to his family's residence.
The children of the Baizhuan Peak clan came in and out of the clan affairs hall, talking in groups of three or five about the mission.
The Qingxiao Courtyard on Zijin Peak is bustling with people, and the disciples are all practicing under the leadership of their respective mentors.
The Wanling Peak seemed relatively deserted. There were not many people in the Parliament Hall and few disciples came and went. However, there were those who refining alchemy, spiritual plants, and even newly opened weapon refining halls. There were about a hundred people studying in it.
Li Qingxiao felt the situation in Tiangong Palace a little, but found no trace of Liu Yu'er, and felt a little nervous.
"Can you be born? I'll go back to Zufeng first!"
The Qingxiao Cave Mansion on the Zu Peak is his residence with Liu Yuer. The palace master Liu Yuer is pregnant during this period and is not in the Tiangong Hall, so he should be at home.
The Zufeng Ancestral Temple has no important matters and will not go there on weekdays. Therefore, the people on Zufeng are the least crowded. Li Qingxiao put away the thunder pattern sword as soon as he approached, restrained his spiritual power, and walked towards his cave.
As soon as I got closer, the voices of three aunts and several other wives from the Qing generation came into my ears.
"Yu'er, try this. This is the third-level iced truffle ear that I asked someone to bring back from Jinsha Island. The taste is sour and you should eat it." This is the voice of the second aunt Tong.
"This is sent back from the boy Qinghan of my family. It is said that it is Kong? The island's unique third-level magnolia fruit has the effect of restoring the fetus. You can try it." This is the voice of the fourth aunt Chen Hui.
"Yu'er, this is the spirit fish transported back from Bayu Mountain on Lansha Island. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to taste the taste of the past? This was specially sent by Aunt Lingbao."
……………………
Li Qingxiao saw Liu Yuer surrounded by several aunts, taking a sip and eating a bite. The expression on her face was a little helpless and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be fine before he was born yet. He was rushing back. Li Qingxiao didn't want to miss the birth of his son, after all, this was his first offspring.
"Yu'er, I'm back!"
When everyone heard this voice, they all turned their heads, and Liu Yu'er showed a hint of excitement and stood up and walked towards him.
"Husband."
Li Qingxiao hurried forward, held Yu'er who wanted to walk around, gently stroked her already raised belly, and a trace of expectation appeared in her eyes.
"Yu'er, thank you for your hard work during this period!"
Liu Yu'er shook her head, looking a little excited. After all, it was the first time she had a baby, and she was still a little scared, but she also knew that Li Qingxiao was very busy during this period and did not want to distract him. She didn't expect that he would come back at this time, so she was inevitably excited.
Second Aunt Tong joked: "You are a competent clan leader. If we hadn't sent someone to inform you, I'm afraid you wouldn't know if the child was born!"
Li Qingxiao smiled embarrassedly and looked at Yu'er apologetically. He was about to speak, but the hand placed on Liu Yu'er's lower abdomen suddenly came a noise, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"This kid is kicking me?"
A wonderful feeling filled my heart, and for a moment, Li Qingxiao was also excited.
Looking at his stupid look, Liu Yu'er smiled. As soon as she was about to speak, a sharp pain came, her face suddenly turned pale and her legs became soft.
"Children...she...it seems to be...going out!"
This trembling tone immediately changed everyone's expressions, and Li Qingxiao also showed a panic look and hugged Liu Yu'er's body.
Second Aunt Tong looked at Liu Yu'er's skirt with sharp eyes, and her expression changed.
