He raised his hand and captured the orb with a burst of true energy. In the ownerless state, the Thunderbolt Orb made no move to resist, allowing Qingwei to quickly leave a mark on it.

"Compared to other casual cultivators and even fellow disciples within the sect, it's good to have a spiritual weapon close by. My brother, I don't dare to be too picky." Qingwei said with a satisfied smile.

Spiritual weapons are rare. Even if you are a true disciple, unless you worship a powerful master or have a rich family, you don't know how long it will take to get a spiritual weapon.

But now, Qingwei basically got two spiritual weapons for free, and she was already happy.

After seeing Qingwei put away the Thunderbolt Orb, Li Ji said: "Eighth brother has to stay longer when he comes back now, so that he can meet the younger members of the family and give them guidance on their cultivation."

Glancing at the head of her family, Qingwei shook her head and said with a smile: "Third brother, if you have something to say, you should just say it directly. You always like to beat around the bush."

Li Ji smiled awkwardly and said, "Even if I didn't say it, my eighth brother would have guessed it."

Qingwei heard the words and immediately reacted, suddenly saying: "Is it the Chihuoyuan copper mine in Luoxia Mountain?"

Luoxia Mountain is a medium-sized mountain range not far from Xianyong City. Its vitality is average, so it is not occupied by any forces.

Just over 800 years ago, six major families in Xianyong City, including the Li family, accidentally discovered a Chihuoyuan copper mine in the Luoxia Mountains, which sparked a fierce battle.

The six major families are also vassal forces of the Gui Zhen Sect, and they have been able to control them in several battles without breaking out.

In the end, the Guizhen sect sent people to mediate, and the six major families decided on the mining rights in a sword fight every ten years.

Theoretically speaking, everything within the Guizhen Sect's sphere of influence belongs to the sect and has the right to take it back.

However, for the Chihuoyuan Copper Mine, the Guizhen Sect would not go too far, so they would take 30% of the mining proceeds from several major families.

In this regard, several major families have no complaints. After all, if a more domineering sect leaves them 20%, or even none at all, it is possible.

This year is the time to decide on the mineral mining rights for the next ten years.

The two previous times, the Li family unfortunately missed opportunities due to lack of strength.

Now that Li Ji saw that Qingwei had successfully entered the Daoji realm, hope was ignited in his heart.

After all, although Red Fire Yuan Copper is only an intermediate material, and the Gui Zhen Sect doesn't think highly of it, it is still a piece of fat in the eyes of a force of the Li family's level.

Qingwei had no reason to refuse this, so he said: "If I remember correctly, it should be the fifteenth of next month, right?"

"That's right, there are still more than twenty days to go. I guess it won't delay you too long, eighth brother." Li Ji explained.

With Qingwei's current cultivation level, it would only take about five days to reach Hanjing Lake where he needed to be stationed, so he still had plenty of time.

So he smiled and agreed: "Third brother, I just happened to meet the children in the current clan and give them a test."

Li Ji smiled when he heard this and said: "Eighth brother, I don't know. Now you are a role model for the younger generations in the clan. If they see you, those skinny monkeys will not know how happy they are."

Then, in order to help Qingwei understand the situation, Li Ji introduced the current situation of the disciples in the clan.

Those under the age of six are still learning some enlightenment things, and are waiting to be tested by the Guizhen sect at the age of six. Those who pass are directly brought into the sect, and those who fail stay in the family to practice. This is also how the Guizhen sect gives Xianyong City.

The favor of a large family.

Otherwise, if you want to join the Guizhen Sect, you will have to go through countless tests.

There are currently more than twenty underage disciples in the clan, and according to Li Ji, there are still a few of them who can be considered worthy of training.

After all, the Guizhen Sect’s requirements for selecting disciples are only higher than those of most sects of the same level.

Disciples with average or lower qualifications are already the entry standard for most sects, but since the establishment of the Guizhen Sect, they have flattered the choice of valuing their disciples more than those with more talent. The qualifications of their disciples are mostly in the middle to above average range.

Although qualifications cannot determine everything, in today's world and limited life span, who can afford to wait for a late bloomer to develop.

What Li Ji was talking about was a few juniors whose qualifications did not meet the requirements of the Guizhen Sect, but were much better than the mediocre ones.

"Xuan'er from the eldest brother's family, Ran'er from the second brother's family, and Xin'er from your fourth brother's family are all fifteen or sixteen years old now. They have already begun to practice the Great Zhoutian, although they are a lot slower than you.

But it’s pretty good.”

"By the way, my brother's younger son Ping'er is thirteen this year and has already started running the Great Zhoutian."

Qingwei smiled and said, "What third brother wants to mention most is your Ping'er. I think the corners of your mouth are going up to the sky."

Hearing this, Li Ji smiled happily and said: "Ping'er regretted not being selected at first, but he is indeed the most qualified in our room. Therefore, even if I give him my cultivation resources over the years, I still have to cultivate him well."

The purpose of saying this was to tell Qingwei that although he, as the clan leader, favored his younger son, he did not abuse his power for personal gain or abuse the clan's resources.

Qingwei smiled tacitly, but then couldn't help but persuade: "The third brother prefers Ping'er, and I can understand it, but you are also in your prime, and you should make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

"My younger brother has lived in the mountains for a long time, but he also knows that among the six major families in Xianyong City, although our Li family is not at the bottom, it is only a little better than the Xiao family in the north of the city. And when it comes to experts, the Xiao family also has a Taoist realm.

The old man is here."

When Li Ji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother knows what the eighth brother said. Now that Ping'er's foundation has been laid, brother should really consider his own cultivation."

"Among the six major families in Xianyong City, I am the only one whose cultivation is at the point of breathlessness. How can I not be in a hurry?"

Seeing that her third brother had listened, Qingwei stopped nagging. After all, although her cultivation level was at a higher level, Li Ji was still the clan leader or his elder brother.

"By the way, eighth brother, you don't know something. The old man of the Xiao family passed away three years ago, and now they are truly the last family." Li Ji suddenly smiled as if to comfort himself.

Seeing that her third brother is still joking, Qingwei doesn't seem to have to worry about his state of mind.

Immediately, Li Ji summoned a guard and asked him to call the four juniors.

Although Qingwei had visited the family several times before, she had always come and gone in a hurry, so she didn't have much impression of the children.

After a while, Qingwei saw three men and one woman, four and a half-year-old teenagers arriving in the hall in an orderly manner.

"I haven't seen your eighth uncle before long!" Li Ji ordered with a majestic look.

The four of them had already noticed that there was a young Taoist priest in his twenties with a handsome face sitting at the head. After hearing the patriarch's instructions, they hurriedly saluted: "I've met the Eighth Uncle!"
