The next few days were not peaceful at the He Family headquarters.
Demon Beast comes almost every day.
Sometimes during the day, two or three Low-grade First-Order's Grey Iguana would climb over the wall from the north, and when discovered by the He Family monks on duty, they would scream and run around. Sometimes at night, First-Order Mid-Grade's Iron-Spine Hyena would attack the stone wall, leaving white marks on the wall with their claws.
Another time, three unidentified monks took advantage of the darkness and touched the east wall of the He Family. After being discovered by Detection Array, the two sides exchanged hands under the wall. The other party left a wounded Qi Refining Third Level and ran away.
Li Yuan is very fast every time.
He is already familiar with the terrain of the He Family headquarters. He knows which direction has the most people coming from, and he knows the distance from the stone house to all directions.
Fireball Technique and Fire Arrow Technique are still the main force. One shot of Low-grade First-Order and Demon Beast can solve the problem, and two or three shots of First-Order Mid-Grade are enough.
What really gives Brother He Family a headache is not the difficulty of a single battle, but the frequency.
It's almost non-stop, with a wave coming from time to time.
He Family monks take turns on duty, and everyone's complexion is getting worse day by day. Two young Qi Refining Second Layer clan members have shown signs of overdraft in spiritual power.
Li Yuan has no effect at all. His spiritual power reserves are much thicker than those of the He Family, and his recovery speed is also faster with the blessing of various Affix. He can't even breathe after several battles.
But he wasn't idle either.
Every time Demon Beast is killed, Li Yuan will do one more thing.
He took out several small porcelain bottles that had been prepared in advance from his storage bag, squatted next to Demon Beast's body, cut open the flesh of Short Saber's neck, found the main blood vessels, and put the dark blood gushing out into the bottles.
Grey Iguana's blood is cold, with a fishy earthy smell.
Iron-Spine Hyena's blood is thick and black, and its temperature is much higher than that of lizards.
Horned Lizard's blood is the darkest, almost pure black. If you smell it up close, there is a pungent metallic smell.
There was also a Single-Horned Snake Badger that rushed over from nowhere, and the blood on its body had a faint smell of sulfur.
Take a small bottle of each type, seal the bottle, mark it, and put it into a storage bag.
After five days, Li Yuan collected the blood of four different Demon Beast.
On the morning of the fifth day of the garrison, He Qing appeared at the door of Li Yuan.
Unlike the previous times, he was not in a hurry, but slowed down.
The fatigue on his face was still there, but the anxiety that had been on his face had faded.
Li Yuan opened the door and saw He Qing standing on the steps outside the door, with two people standing next to him.
Not from the He Family.
The two monks were wearing blue-grey robes, and their auras were calm and restrained--Qi Refining Late Stage.
Wang Family people.
He Qing nodded towards Li Yuan.
"No need to guard anymore."
His voice was no longer hoarse, but it didn't sound relaxed either.
"The family has discussed it and is ready to move out."
Li Yuan looked at him.
He Qing took a step back and raised his chin in the direction of the Council Hall deep in the yard.
"Someone from the Wang Family is here, and we are talking to the head of the family. The whole family will move to the place where Wang Family is sheltering. Spirit Field, Herb Garden, and Array are all gone."
When he said this, his tone was very calm, as if he was explaining something that had already been decided.
Li Yuan did not answer the call.
He Qing didn't explain much, just said one more thing.
"Thanks to you these days."
Li Yuan hummed.
One of the two Wang Family monks took two steps toward Li Yuan and bowed his hand.
"Are you Li Yuan?"
"Yes."
"The garrison duty ends today."
The monk took out a thin document from his sleeve and handed it over. "This is your settlement and extra reward during this period. Spirit Stone and Contribution Point will go to Management Office to receive it. In addition--"
He paused.
"Lineage has approved a quota. You can go to the Scripture Pavilion and choose an article Cultivation Method."
Li Yuan took the document and glanced at it. It was stamped Wang Family, and the content was consistent with what the person said.
"When are you going?"
"Don't worry, the quota is there, you can go anytime."
Li Yuan put away the documents, nodded to He Qing, and turned back to the house to pack his things.
The storage bags are packed and the stone house is cleaned.
When I walked out of the He Family courtyard gate, the yard was already busy. The He Family monks and mortals were moving boxes and cages to pile them up at the gate of the courtyard. Several young children were standing in the corner with their adults holding hands, looking at the hustle and bustle around them with round eyes.

Wang Family The Qi Refining Late Stage monks were scattered throughout the yard, some were talking in low voices with the He Family head, and some were counting the relocation materials.
Li Yuan did not look back and walked along the mountain road in the direction of Mine.
The broken Stone Slope road made a rustling sound when I stepped on it. The shrubs on both sides were denser than when I came here, and some branches had already reached the road surface.
After walking for a long time, the outline of Mine appeared in front.
The earthen wall is still the same earthen wall, and the wooden shed is still the same wooden shed. The openings of the three Mine Cave are dark, and there are occasional clanking sounds.
But there are fewer people.
Li Yuan noticed it when he walked into Mine.
Under the wooden shed, only Lao Zhou was sorting ore. The position guarding Detection Array was empty and no one was watching.
Steward Liu came around from the low house, holding half a bowl of water in his hand. When he saw Li Yuan, he stopped.
"Back?"
"Back."
Li Yuan put the storage bag in the low house, walked out, and sat down on the stone pier under the wooden shed.
"Where are the people?"
Steward Liu sat down opposite and put the bowl on his lap.
"Two more were transferred."
He gestured with his finger in the direction of Mine Cave.
"The monk surnamed Lu and another Qi Refining, Fourth Layer were transferred to the front line last week. Mine is now the only one left with me, Lao Zhou, Sun Liang, plus you, there are four of us."
He took a sip of water.
"By the way, the prisoners who were imprisoned before were also taken away. Wang Family came to take them in. They didn't say what they were going to do."
Li Yuan hummed.
"Mine Nothing happened during this time?"
"It's no big deal." Steward Liu put the bowl on the ground. "Demon Beast came once, Low-grade First-Order on both sides, Sun Liang took Lao Zhou and ran away. Well... I didn't bump into him."
He glanced at Li Yuan.
"What about you? He Family How's it going over there?"
"Moved. The whole family moved to the Wang Family."
Steward Liu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
He sighed.
"There is no Lineage of that size, not even a Qi Refining Late Stage. If you encounter this kind of chaos, you will be left to your own devices. Moving it under the Wang Family can at least save people."
"But it's also a strange thing. He Family knows Array, and Lineage is quite powerful, but it has never been able to develop."
Li Yuan opened his mouth and said another thing.
"There is a Scripture Pavilion quota among the rewards for stationing He Family. You can choose one Cultivation Method."
Steward Liu's eyes moved and he tapped his knees twice with his fingers.
"Let me tell you something for your reference."
He took half a step forward and lowered his voice.
"Don't be in a hurry to use this quota."
Li Yuan looked at him.
"I know you are from Fangshi. There are a lot of the Scripture Pavilion things in Fangshi, but most of them are popular goods. Cultivation Method, Law Technique, skills, etc. are all common, but it's hard to say the uncommon ones."
Steward Liu rubbed his hands.
"But if you can be transferred to another place later, such as Talisman Hall, it will be different."
"Talisman Hall has its own Scripture Pavilion?"
"Yes." Steward Liu nodded. "Wang Family's Talisman Hall is a specialized Talisman Making department, which has an independent Scripture Pavilion, which stores all Cultivation Method and techniques related to Talisman Making. The quality and quantity are more than one level better than the Talisman Dao collection of the Scripture Pavilion in the market."
He looked at Li Yuan.
"It's the same if you transfer to other places. Of course, the Scripture Pavilion in some places is not as good as the market. It's up to you to choose. Anyway, you can save this thing."
Li Yuan nodded.
"I noted it down."
Steward Liu hummed, stood up, and bent down to pick up the bowl on the ground.
"Okay, you just came back, so rest first. Mine's matter is not urgent."
He carried the bowl and walked to the other end of the shed. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said something.
"By the way, Sun Liang is inside Mine Cave. If you want to find him, just go in."
Li Yuan sat on the stone pier and did not move immediately.
There was a dull knocking sound from Mine Cave in the distance, probably Sun Liang was mining.
The sun was heading west, and some long shadows were drawn on the gravel ground.
Li Yuan took out the small porcelain bottles containing Demon Beast's blood from the storage bag and placed them on his knees and counted them one by one.
Four. Five more to go.
He put the porcelain bottle away, got up and walked towards the small house.
