Chapter 482: Releasing Kongheng (I)
Kong Tingyun stood in the air.
The townspeople at the foot of the mountain bustled about, looking up at her with little fear. She glanced around and asked, "Your territory may not be large, but your population is prosperous… I noticed that there are many Embryonic Breathing Realm and unrefined Qi Cultivators."
Li Xijun nodded and said a few words in response, but Kong Tingyun reminded him, "Having many people and cultivators isn't always good, you'll still need to control them."
Kong Tingyun's tactful reminder was made in good faith. Li Xijun nodded again, replying softly, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior. My family has been selecting spiritual orifices… It's rare for ordinary talents to enter my family."
While they were speaking, the middle-aged man from Profound Peak Gate had completed his survey and returned with the wind. His tone was calm as he reported, "Peak Master, this place has a good fire vein! A flat baleful fire can be obtained if drawn out from the earth. It can be used to craft tools and pills, but gathering qi will be slow."
The middle-aged man stepped back and Kong Tingyun remarked, "Pretty good… considering it is by a lake. If there are no issues, we can proceed to draw out this fire vein."
Li Xijun bowed and replied, "I'll leave it up to you, Senior."
Kong Tingyun tilted her head slightly, instructing her subordinate to proceed. The middle-aged man received the order and got busy right away. Meanwhile, Li Xicheng stepped forward and asked a few questions, then bowed to Kong Tingyun and joined the middle-aged man.
Li Xijun could not keep Kong Tingyun waiting around, so he politely led her to Mount Qingdu. As soon as Kong Tingyun took a seat, she remarked, "I heard that there's a female thunder cultivator in your family… I wonder if I might have the chance to meet her."
