A moment later, Li Daoxuan, his mind clear, walked out of the mine.
"We've been away for so long, it's time to go back and visit."
Regarding the strange occurrences, according to the memories of these five people, they seemed to be kept in the core area of the Demon Sect, guarded by their ancestor. Since it was related to the completion of the tribulation, Li Daoxuan did not dare to venture in lightly.
Everything needs to be planned from scratch.
He flashed away from the Demon Sect and headed home.
......
"Why hasn't Dad come back yet? He clearly said he would be back in a year, but more than two years have passed now."
Li Qingyu sighed repeatedly.
"He was probably delayed by something. With your father's cultivation level, he won't be in any trouble."
Lu Xueqi said this, but she was still very worried.
Living in seclusion here, she was deeply worried about the terrifying tidal wave that swept across the entire land a while ago.
"Mother, it seems Father has returned. I can feel his presence!"
Li Qingyu's eyes lit up.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi also released her divine sense to perceive, and indeed it was her husband's aura.
The next moment, the space around them rippled, and Li Daoxuan stepped out from within.
"My husband!"
Lu Xueqi happily rushed over.
Li Daoxuan hugged the other person and smiled. Indeed, home is the warmest place.
"How have you been these past two years?"
"Everything is fine. It's just that there has been a lot of turmoil in the past two years. We have a great array protecting us while we are living in seclusion here, so we don't need to worry. But my husband, have you been alright outside?"
Lu Xueqi shook her head.
Li Daoxuan chuckled to himself. He was the one who had caused the turmoil of the past two years, and he had almost died outside and never returned.
Of course, this matter is in the past, so there's no need to bring it up and cause Lu Xueqi any more worry.
"I'm fine here too. I should have returned a year ago, but I had signs of a breakthrough in my cultivation along the way, so I found a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion for a year, which is why I returned late."
"I see. I'm so glad my husband is alright."
Lu Xueqi felt relieved.
"By the way, I made some gains on this trip. I obtained a top-grade Heaven-rank Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, which I will now pass on to the two of you."
He beckoned Li Qingyu to come closer.
The latter obediently approached, and Li Daoxuan gently touched their foreheads.
The contents of the Heart Sutra flooded into their consciousness.
"What a powerful technique! It's just a pity about the one Qingxue gave me. I finally mastered it, but now I have to abandon it and replace it with this one so soon."
Li Qingyu murmured.
"You're acting innocent after getting the benefit; you should focus on your cultivation."
Li Daoxuan shook his head helplessly.
He then picked up Lu Xueqi and headed towards the bedroom. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and they needed to enjoy each other's company.
Lu Xueqi was startled by Li Daoxuan's sudden action, but she quickly understood what he meant and blushed.
Li Qingyu gritted her teeth after being unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"You've been married for so long, don't you ever get tired of each other?"
She had seen this situation many times in her life. At first, she didn't understand what it meant, but after she gained experience, she realized that the old couple were doing naughty things together.
Having been single since birth, Li Qingyu had no choice but to use the new cultivation technique to distract herself from her studies.
......
Time flies.
The Demon Sect finally discovered something amiss with the three mines.
The amount of spirit stones handed over over the past few months has been decreasing, and in the end, they couldn't even scrape together 100 million.
This terrified the mine manager.
"What exactly happened? Are you hiding spirit stones?!"
"Sir, how could we dare? We really can't dig it out!"
The mining team offered repeated explanations.
The foreman, refusing to believe in superstition, picked up a pickaxe and started mining himself.
They extended the mine several kilometers deeper but found not a single spirit stone.
"!"
The steward trembled with fear.
Oh no, this is terrible! If the higher-ups find out, they'll skin him alive!
After much hesitation, he still chose to report it. This matter could not be kept secret. Rather than waiting for the deadline to be reached and being exposed, he might as well try his luck and hope for a lenient treatment.
This scene also occurred in another vein, as for vein number 33?
All eyewitnesses have been wiped out by Li Daoxuan, and they are currently out of contact with the Demonic Sect.
The Demon Sect's higher-ups, who quickly learned of the news, were furious and immediately sent people to investigate.
"What about vein number 33? Why were only two veins reported? Are you trying to hide it?"
"Go, send some men to find out what's going on."
One day later.
"Something terrible has happened! Everyone from Mine 33 has disappeared! Even... even..."
Even what?
"Even the five elders have disappeared without a trace!"
......
"Father, I want to go out and gain experience."
"This is what Li Qingyu said after she came out of seclusion."
Li Daoxuan thought about it and agreed, but said that safety measures had to be taken.
"Okay, take these talismans and array plates with you, as well as this jade slip. If you encounter an enemy that none of the above methods can defeat, crush it immediately."
He took out a large pile of things and handed them to Li Qingyu.
These are all ninth-order talismans and array plates refined over the past two years, and they are even top-grade ninth-order talismans.
Even if someone completes their tribulation, they can only hold out for a few hours.
"Father, you've become a ninth-level master!"
Li Qingyu was stunned.
"It was just luck. Work hard, and you can catch up with your father. After all, you are my daughter."
Li Daoxuan smiled.
"Yes, yes, I will work hard and I will never let you down, Father."
Li Qingyu nodded solemnly.
After she left, Li Daoxuan began to plan his next move.
He has plundered all the mines in the Demon Sect's territory, and now he is still 340 trillion spirit stones short of ascending to the Upper Realm.
This enormous amount of spirit stones cannot be earned through business.
"Are we going to rob the Heaven and Earth Sect?"
Li Daoxuan pondered deeply.
Currently, only the Heaven and Earth Sect in the entire Divine Continent still has mineral reserves, but it seems that his daughter gets along quite well with their Holy Maiden, and they are practically best friends.
I'm being incredibly shameless by doing this.
So Li Daoxuan chose to wear a mask.
"Old Demon Li of the Demonic Sect requests to participate in the battle."
At this moment, Lu Xueqi also came out of the house.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"Cough, it's nothing, I'm just about to go out again."
Lu Xueqi was taken aback; she had only been back for a few days before going out again.
"Where's Xiaoyu? I haven't seen her."
"She can't stay idle, so she went out to gain more experience."
Li Daoxuan replied.
"So, Xiaoyu is leaving, and now you, my husband, are leaving me alone at home, all alone in this empty room?"
Lu Xueqi said quietly.
Ah, this...
Li Daoxuan was speechless.
Lu Xueqi seized the opportunity and said, "I'll go too."
"Although it's a bit dangerous outside, my husband, you'll protect me, right?"
With the road blocked, what could Li Daoxuan say?
Besides, he has already completed his tribulation and is practically invincible in the lower realm.
There's no need to be overly cautious like before. It's safer to have Lu Xueqi by your side than to keep her at home.
"All right."
Li Daoxuan agreed.
"Yay! I knew you were the best, my husband."
Lu Xueqi's tense face broke into a smile, and she happily stepped forward to hug his arm.
"We need to change our appearance before we set off."
"Why?"
Lu Xueqi asked in confusion.
"Because your husband is going out to do something naughty, my lady, you don't want Xiaoyu to see you doing something naughty, do you?"
Li Daoxuan grinned mischievously.
