Li Qing temporarily stayed in Su Mansion and had a rare leisure time. Instead of cultivating, he took time to accompany Su Jingxiang and Xiao Bai. Every day, he would take a walk and admire flowers, as if he was isolated from the rest of the world.

Lord Su focused on strengthening Su Mansion’s defenses. He spent a large amount of spirit stones to invite a formation master to set up a formidable formation that enveloped the entire Su Clan.

With this formation here and Su Jingxiang’s leadership, they should be able to repel Xiantian 7-dan experts.

In addition, they also set up a large number of mechanisms at the entrance of the Spirit Vein, turning it into the Su Clan’s inheritance ground, and used it to nurture outstanding young disciples of the younger generation.

With these arrangements in place, they would at least be able to fight back against ordinary clan forces. Even if Li Qing left, he believed that he should be able to gain a foothold in this unfamiliar place.

Li Qing felt that City Lord Su’s strength was still too weak. A Xiantian fifth layer cultivator could be considered a formidable expert in a remote place, but it was not enough on Luofu Island.

Luofu Island was the number one power in the East China Sea. He could easily provoke a big shot and face the danger of overturning. He couldn’t expect Li Qing to save him every time.

Under such circumstances, strengthening City Lord Su’s strength became a very necessary thing.

City Lord Su’s aptitude wasn’t bad, nor was it good. It was extremely difficult to cultivate to the seventh level of the Xiantian realm in a short period of time, but he was confident that he would be able to reach the sixth level of the Xiantian realm.

Li Qing had once obtained a “Nine Crooked Spirit Ginseng”. This was a great tonic that could be refined into a medicinal pill that could increase one’s cultivation. Because his cultivation speed was too fast, he didn’t need this thing, so he decided to give it to City Lord Su.

In the past, his pill refining level was not up to par, so he didn’t dare to use this spirit medicine to refine pills. He was afraid that he would waste this precious medicinal material after failing. Now that his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and with the help of the Sun Moon Pill Furnace, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Three days later, he successfully refined dozens of Nine Crooked Ginseng Pills and handed them to City Lord Su.

City Lord Su also knew that his strength was low, so he did not refuse. He directly accepted it. Everything was in silence.

After a period of time, the people from the big clans came to visit again.

This time, their Patriarch personally came. After all, the news that Li Qing was at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm had long been spread. Ordinary Xiantian experts came here to die. They weren’t that stupid.

However, they did not believe that Li Qing really possessed such strength. They had to confirm it with their own eyes before they were willing to accept it. If it is true, then both sides are friends; If it wasn’t for… The result was self-evident.

The Su Clan’s main hall was filled with people today. The three people leading the way were the heads of the three great clans. All of them were Xiantian Tenth Stage figures, and they were extremely impressive.

They didn’t know who Li Qing was, but they still sensed him. Their gazes landed on a young man with an extraordinary aura, and they couldn’t help but frown, “So it’s only the ninth level of the Xiantian realm!”

“That’s right, my cultivation is indeed only at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm.” Li Qing nodded.

City Lord Su hurriedly said, “Although his cultivation is only at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm, his strength is no weaker than the tenth level of the Xiantian realm.”

“Enough, we don’t need to listen to your explanation.” A Patriarch waved his hand impatiently.

“Do you think the three of us came here today to listen to your jokes?” Another Patriarch snorted coldly.

Seeing that Li Qing was only at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm, their expressions became somewhat disdainful. Even though the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm was already a very powerful expert, it was still not in their eyes.

The heads of the three great clans ran over to see a Xiantian ninth layer, and it was a joke to hear that.

These masters realized that they seemed to have been tricked, and their mood immediately became bad, and their attitudes became much worse.

City Lord Su shook his head helplessly when he saw that this matter was unclear. He no longer entangled himself and said, “What are you family masters doing here today?”

“Of course, it’s for the sake of the spirit veins. For Patriarch Wuyou’s sake, we won’t make things difficult for your Su Clan too much. How about this, the three of us each offer 10,000 spirit stones for a total of 30,000. How about buying this territory?” Said the Chen Clan Master.

City Lord Su shook his head, “Too low! Spiritual veins are priceless and can be passed down from generation to generation. What can we buy with thirty thousand spirit stones? Our Su Clan does not lack these spirit stones.”

The Lu Clan’s Clan Master said, “We have already given you a lot of face by negotiating with you so kindly. If you really don’t appreciate your kindness, then don’t blame us for being impolite.”

City Lord Su helplessly shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Li Qing.

Li Qing said indifferently to the three Patriarchs, “I will return the original words to you. I am willing to stand here and discuss with you in a friendly manner. It is also for the sake of the Su Clan’s face. If you really don’t appreciate your kindness, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“What a big tone! Then let’s see how you, a mere ninth level Xiantian, can be impolite to us.” The Zhang Clan’s Clan Master laughed out loud.

“Then watch carefully!” Li Qing stretched out his big hand and enveloped the three Patriarchs. His palms contained the power to open up heaven and earth, pushing everything in the world horizontally.

“He actually dares to attack the three of us at the same time! He simply doesn’t know whether to die or not!” They were furious.

In the next moment, their faces revealed expressions of fear. Then, they were simultaneously pushed to the ground by this palm. A terrifying force suppressed them and they were unable to move.

“Ah–” The three of them roared angrily, struggling to break through Li Qing’s suppression, but in the end, they did not move at all.

How could they contend against the power of the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm? Li Qing only used 10% of his strength to suppress these three people.

“Let go of the Patriarch!” A large group of subordinates behind them shouted angrily and took out their weapons, wanting to charge forward.

Li Qing waved his hand and swept across the hall. Dozens of figures were knocked out of the hall and fell on the plaza one by one, spitting out blood from their mouths.

Seeing this scene, the three Patriarchs couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb.

“This … what kind of strength is this person? Could it be that a Void Realm expert is impersonating him?” Their hearts trembled.

Li Qing looked at the people who were suppressed on the ground and said condescendingly, “Are you convinced?”

The faces of the three Patriarchs flushed red. Today, they had truly lost all face. However, his strength was inferior to others, so he had no choice but to admit defeat. He could only spit out one word with difficulty, “Su!”

Li Qing loosened his grip and dispersed his large palm, releasing the three of them.

The three of them were at least the masters of the same clan, and they were extremely smooth in their deeds. In a short moment, they regained their dignity, as if nothing had happened just now. One of them smiled and said, “I didn’t expect this little brother to be so formidable. It was us who misjudged him. Please don’t take offense.”

“No problem, as long as you are convinced.” Li Qing was not polite at all.

“We don’t know each other even if we don’t fight. Why don’t we sit down properly and cultivate our feelings?” The Chen Clan Master said.

“Someone, hold a banquet with wine!” City Lord Su couldn’t help but be overjoyed when he saw that things were going in a good direction. These three Patriarchs were all capable people. They were humiliated and were able to talk and laugh. It had to be said that they were truly experienced old foxes.

During the banquet, the Chen Clan Master seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally said, “May I know which sect this little brother is from?”

“I am Jing Xiang’s friend. I came here at her invitation to solve this problem.” Li Qing said ambiguously, “I will leave soon. When that time comes, I wonder if the few of you will turn against each other and look for trouble with the Su Clan again?”

“Where, where, why would we do such a thing?” Patriarch Lu laughed heartily.

“Although this spirit vein is precious, it isn’t worth taking too much risks. Please don’t worry about offending an expert like Brother Li.” Patriarch Zhang added.

“That’s very good. During the time I’m away, I’ll ask a few Patriarchs to help me out. Just treat it as if I owe you all a favor. How about it?” Li Qing said. This was also his true purpose in leaving these Clan Heads behind. If they could take care of him, the Su Clan would definitely be much safer.

“Certainly. As long as we are on Lofu Island, no one can cause trouble for the Su Clan!” They swore an oath.

Night fell and the banquet dissipated.

Looking at the departing figures of these great clans, City Lord Su said drunkenly, “Do you really think they will take care of our Su Clan?”

“It’s hard to say. These clan masters are all of the type of wallgrass. They handle things smoothly. It’s not bad if they can believe 10% of what they say.” Li Qing shook his head. “However, what is certain is that they shouldn’t come looking for trouble again. The Su Clan can live in peace and quiet.”

“This result can’t be better.” City Lord Su nodded, “I heard you say that you want to leave just now. Is that true?”

“That’s right, I’m about to leave for the Central Region. I’ll be leaving in a while.” Li Qing said.

“Central Region? So far away?” City Lord Su’s expression changed.

“I’m going to look for my wife. I’ve been separated from her for almost 20 years. Today, I’ve finally found a trace of her.” Li Qing said faintly.

“Twenty years …” City Lord Su sighed. “I can still remember the scene of my daughter saving you back then. Unknowingly, such a long time has passed.”

“That’s right, I never thought that I would have such a deep fate with you.” Li Qing smiled.

“It’s a long journey to the Central Region. I wonder when we’ll see each other again.”

“There is no banquet in the world that will not end. If there is a chance in the future, I will return to the East China Sea to see you.” Li Qing said, “Anyway, with my strength, it shouldn’t take long for me to rush back from the Central Region.”

“Then it’s a deal!” City Lord Su laughed loudly.

A month later.

Seeing that the situation of the Su Clan had basically stabilized and the hidden dangers nearby had been eliminated one by one, Li Qing brought Xiao Bai into the sky and set off on the road to the Central Region.

Seeing Li Qing’s departing figure, Su Jingxiang’s eyes were filled with tears as she said softly, “I will definitely work hard to increase my strength and pursue your footsteps. In the future, I will go to the Central Region to find you!”

City Lord Su walked out and sighed, “Everyone has left. Don’t look anymore. Let’s go back.”
