Having lived in the bitter cold land of the north for a long time, Li Congren is no longer the handsome young man he was when he was young. He is more rugged and bold in his calmness.

We haven’t seen each other for many years, and Li Congren’s cultivation has entered the middle stage of foundation building. He is nearly ten years younger than Mu Bingyun, and his cultivation at the fifth level of foundation building is not far behind.

In the main hall of the Xuemei Mountain tribe, Lu Changan also saw a female cultivator who was in the middle stage of foundation building.

"This is the bitch 'Wu Yue'e'."

Li Congren's wife has an ordinary appearance, plain clothes, and slightly dark complexion.

Judging from appearance alone, he doesn't quite match Li Congren.

"I've met Grandpa Lu."

Wu Yue'e is neither humble nor arrogant. Although she looks ordinary, she has bright eyes and teeth like snow shells.

Lu Changan knew that his wife had given him a lot of help during the difficult period of his pioneering work abroad.

Or because of the war, the two got married in a very low-key manner and did not hold a public wedding ceremony.

When they met for the first time, Lu Changan took out a set of second-grade high-grade talismans and gave them to Li Congnen's wife as a meeting gift.

After Li Congren and his wife declined, they thanked them and accepted them.

A few years ago, Li Congren paid off his grandfather's debts, paid filial piety to Lu Changan, and passed on information about the border blockade to Lu Changan at a critical moment.

This time, Lu Changan came to the Li family in Xuemei Mountain, hoping to use Li Congnen's channels to obtain more information and go to the Jing Kingdom, a neutral country that cultivated immortals.

"Congren, the Li family in Xuemei Mountain has developed well. No wonder your grandfather has praised it many times."

Lu Changan said from the bottom of his heart.

The Li family of Xuemei Mountain, in addition to Li Congren and his wife, there is also a worshiper in the foundation-building period who has a life-and-death relationship with Li Congren.

In terms of managing the family, Li Congren is quite talented, far better than his grandfather Li Erqing.

Not only that, Li Congren also has some skills in diplomacy and maintains a good relationship with the beast-controlling Zhou family and Jin Yungu.

He even established business relationships with merchants and chambers of commerce from neighboring countries.

Before the war, Li Congren bought the mineral vein development rights in advance and also made war fortune.

…

Squeak!

While chatting, the rock rat became restless, got out of the storage bag, and grinned at Li Congren.

The aura of the second-order peak monster moved Li Congren and his wife.

"The rock rats are very sensible and won't mess around."

Lu Changan smiled.

Li Congren hesitated for a moment and patted the spiritual pet bag.

squeak!

A clearer rat voice came. A pale golden rat demon with jewel-like eyes and silky hair jumped out from the spiritual pet bag.

In terms of appearance, this rat demon is even better.

In comparison, the Earth Rock Rat is more like the Shamate among rat demons.

"The middle-level second-order rat demon seems to have the blood of a treasure-hunting rat."

Lu Changan looked at it secretly.

The pale golden rat demon is smaller than the rock rat and is a little fearful and uneasy.

Squeak!

The rock rat called softly a few times, and through communication, the treasure hunter rat lowered its vigilance.

Not long after, the two rat demons went outside to play happily.

The rock rat is female, but stronger.

After a while, the pale golden rat demon was dragged into the woods by the rock rat.

Li Congren couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

Lu Changan didn't take it to heart and shifted the topic to the border between the two countries.

"Yue'e, go out and see the little golden mouse."

Li Congren received instructions from Lu Changan and asked his wife Wu Yue'e to go out for fun.

Lu Changan no longer concealed anything, explained his purpose of coming, and asked Li Congren about the way to Jing Kingdom.

Li Congren glanced at Lu Changan and showed no surprise.

"Grandpa Lu, I'm telling you the truth. Congren has contacts with people from the 'Business Alliance' of Jing Kingdom. Two years ago, there was even a stable channel to arrange for people to take refuge in Jing Kingdom, but it required a high fee."

"What's the situation now?"

Lu Changan secretly thought that he had indeed found the right person. Because of his business dealings with neighboring countries, Li Congren got acquainted with the monks from the Jing Kingdom Business Alliance.

As a neutral country in Jing Country, the Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and can even compete with the country's Immortal Cultivation Sect.

"In the past year, the sect of the Liang Kingdom has been very strict. In the past, the Chamber of Commerce of the Merchant Alliance could bring a few monks back to the Jing Kingdom for each transaction. There was even a special escort organization that smuggled people through giant spiritual ships and sold tickets.

.Now, this situation is being severely cracked down on."

"A few days ago, a stowaway spirit boat was captured by the Liang Kingdom Sect. The creatures on the boat were exterminated."

Li Congren's tone was solemn.

Lu Changan finally understood that he had missed the best time.

A year or two ago, he had just been promoted to the late stage of foundation building and had not yet entered the ancient ruins.

"If it is just a severe crackdown by the sect, it will only increase the risk, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver."

"But in the past six months, a considerable part of the important border areas to the Jing Kingdom have been controlled by the forces of the Demon Cult."

"Xuanyin Demon Cult?"

Lu Changan thoughtfully said: Due to the wars in the neighboring immortal kingdoms, in the past ten or twenty years, the demonic sect forces led by Liang Shaotian have resurrected in a chaotic situation and gained good opportunities for development.

"Yes! The merchant alliance monks who pass by only need to pay tolls to the Demon Sect. If the monks take refuge from the Liang Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom, the treatment is completely different. Once encountered, even if they give all their belongings, they may not be able to save their lives. Or they will be caught.

Capture or be killed..."

Li Congren sighed.

The sect's attack, the demon sect's threat, the robbery of the cultivators...

Lu Changan probably had his thoughts straightened out.

"The main route from our area to the Kingdom of Jing is controlled by a key figure from the Demon Cult. This person is overbearing and does not follow common sense, which is a headache."

"Oh, who is the number one person in the Demon Cult?"

"This man's name is Xiang Jinglong. He was once a famous ruthless cultivator in Liang Kingdom. Grandpa Lu should have heard of him."

"I've heard of it."

Lu Changan remained calm, with a strange feeling in his heart.

Li Congren continued: "In the early years, Xiang Jinglong was wanted by Lihuo Palace and took refuge in the Xuanyin Demon Sect. He was cultivated and reused by the leader of the Demon Sect, and his strength greatly increased."
