Chapter 446: Inside the Baizhu Family

Dongyu, Baizhu's family.

Li Qi is sorting out clues outside the door.

In the past two days, he has been wandering around the seabed of Dongyu, collecting other information.

For some reason, this kind of collection is particularly smooth, with almost no other obstacles. Everyone seems to have no idea of ​​keeping secrets, and basically they are like those small farmers in Baiyue, extremely conservative, but quite afraid of "superiors". Basically, Li Qi didn't spend much effort to find out a lot of things.

It may also be that the things that need to be kept secret are not spread out at all, so Li Qi found out all insignificant information.

But... nothing is insignificant.

Even if it is garbage information, a lot of things can be analyzed from the back.

As Baizhu Zhaoyue said, the Baizhu family does have some origins with the ancient witches.

But those origins... are probably similar to the degree that eight generations of ancestors were friends.

At this point, now that the human and witch families have separated, the Baizhu family has completely nothing to do with Wushen Mountain, and they make a living by planting pearls in the sea.

However, the business is still very big. There are pearl fields of Baizhu family in thousands of Dongyu Island. In particular, they have mastered a secret technique to cultivate "clams".

The grade of clams is not high, only eight grades, and they cannot fight, but they can produce a large number of pearl clams. These pearl clams cannot reproduce, but the quality of pearls is extremely high.

This method has established the current status of Baizhu family. Those mermaids who grow pearls can only rely entirely on the clams of Baizhu family, otherwise they can't engage in this industry at all. Baizhu family makes a lot of money from this, and constantly transports a large number of pearls to the land and outside the domain, supporting a large family.

It is really a big family. There are four-grade ancestors in the family, and several four-grade worshippers. The family's influence spreads across thousands of Dongyu Island. I don't know how many mermaids are their actual serfs. It can be said that they are quite "noble".

In other words, Baizhu family, as a sea family that was able to supply the human race at that time in ancient times, can continue to this day. It is indeed a two-brush, not a straw bag.

However... this is just an ordinary Dongyu, so there is only one seventh-rank member of the Baizhu family who stays here, and the rest are all eighth-rank, and most of them are only responsible for managing this ordinary business.

In other words, it is just a store of a large group company, and the highest position is a store manager, and there is not even a regional manager.

"The Baizhu family is unlikely to be coerced by the power of the Jiaolong, but the local Baizhu family leader will probably find it difficult to stand firm when facing the words of the Jiaolong. Whether it is inducement or coercion, the Jiaolong should be able to control a seventh-rank."

Li Qi thought so and quietly entered the Baizhu family's mansion.

He was going to see how it works here, and then speculate how the Jiaolong did it.

However, as soon as he stepped into it, he felt a strong Jiaolong aura!

The undisguised dragon aura, the Jiaolong must have stayed here, and also took the initiative to leave marks or other body parts here, otherwise it would never be possible to have such a strong Jiaolong aura.

Li Qi observed these Jiaolong auras, and then walked into it naturally.

No one noticed him. When he was blending into nature, Li Qi's aura was completely consistent with the surrounding environment. Although he did not become transparent, there was a feeling of "he should have been there", which made people subconsciously ignore his existence.

Probably... similar to the TV remote control that you can't find no matter what.

It was clearly placed on the table, but no one except his mother could see it. Even if they touched it, they would ignore it. It has perfectly integrated with the environment.

Walking through the Baizhu family's mansion, Li Qi could see that the surrounding environment was not luxurious, but rather decorated quite ordinary.

Of course, it was just ordinary decoration.

Li Qi had debated this with Liu Canzhi and Liu Donghe before.

Whether the decoration is gorgeous or simple is just a simple "decoration style". The real luxury is to look at the essence underneath.

"A large magic weapon array? This mansion is equivalent to an eighth-grade large combination magic weapon." Li Qi observed the surroundings and came to a conclusion.

This mansion seems to have borrowed ideas from humanity. Even the paving tiles are made of magic weapons. Although most of them are only magic weapons of low or ninth grade, these many magic weapons form a large magic weapon array, which has produced a very good comprehensive effect and has reached the eighth grade.

This is not a combat magic weapon, but it has a series of functions to adjust the temperature, automate furniture, change the room layout at will, immersive home fantasy experience, a series of processing tools, various novel experiences and cultivation dishes, and even includes a number of processing workshops, which can make some simple tools and magic weapons when self-provided raw materials.

It is better to say that it is a base vehicle with greatly enhanced enjoyment functions.

Throw this thing out of the domain, find a world of eight or nine grades to take root, and match it with someone who can operate this house skillfully. It won't take long for this house to develop into a country.

In terms of combat, although this thing is not strong, its defense ability is really good.

However, there is still a gap with the extreme of humanity.

Humane houses also have these functions, but they are not as good as humane ones.

For example, humanitarian houses cannot be built privately. One can only purchase already built ones, or apply for planning and construction. The reason is that these houses will be combined into a larger magic weapon array.

The tiles used to pave the sidewalk are magic weapons, but these are not just for building a large mansion like the Bai Zhu family.

For humanity, what needs to be combined is - the city.

Each city is a set of large magic weapons.

The buildings, green plants, parks, and various facilities in the city are all planned and are part of this large-scale combined magic weapon. Every city is a high-quality magic weapon composed of these parts, and is composed of the humane dragon veins underground. Provide energy, and then the cardinals from all realms will uniformly allocate resources.

It maintains the normal operation of the city and residents in normal times, and can be deployed at any time when needed, turning it into a large multi-functional fortress. Whether it is undertaking scientific research tasks, war tasks, or colonial construction tasks, it can easily handle it, and the residents inside will also And became a staff member of the fortress, temporarily separated from the status of ordinary residents.

Compared with this scale, the Baizhu family mansion in front of me seems stingy.

but……

What is certain is that the Baizhu family's mansion was indeed customized from the Tang Dynasty. As a magic weapon factory director with his own manufacturing industry in Chang'an, Li Qi can even use special skills to read the customized specifications.

Bai Zhu's family...

Their background is deeper than imagined. They can buy a custom-made modular magic mansion from Tang Dynasty. With this financial resources, it can be seen that their pearl planting industry is prosperous.

Examining this large mansion along the way, which covers an area of ​​about three or four miles, Li Qi quickly arrived at the center of the place.

This is the place where the dragon energy is strongest.

Li Qi was surprised to find that there were quite a lot of pearl clams in this place.

These huge pearl clams come in five colors, all have night light and are several feet long. The clam pearls are born in their belly and wax and wane with the moon.

"Liang Sigong Ji" says: "Pearls in the world can be divided into big beads, small beads, and mixed beads. Big beads are like the wishful beads of heaven and earth, small beads are like beads of Lilong, and mixed beads are like clams, clams, snakes, and cranes."

"The wish-fulfilling pearl shines for fifty miles at night at the top, ten miles at night for the middle one, and one mile for the lower one. Wherever the light reaches, there is no wind, rain, thunder, hail, water, fire, sword, or poison. The dragon pearl has nine colors, and shines at night for a hundred steps. The middle one is ten Step down, there is a room. Within the reach of the light, there is no poison from snakes, arachnids, or insects. The beads are of five colors, and they all have luminous light for several feet, and they have no special powers."

The pearls recorded in the books that Li Qi read must be the best among the best. The pearls produced by ordinary pearls and clams cannot even be ranked among the miscellaneous pearls. It can only be counted as an ordinary object.

However, the giant pearl clams seen at Bai Zhu Mansion produced pearls with five colors of light and luminescence for several feet. They had obviously reached the level of 'miscellaneous pearls'.

These giant pearl clams that produce assorted beads are probably ‘mother clams’, right?

There are dozens of mother clams here, some producing beads and some producing seeds. There are also some agencies nearby that are constantly collecting the seeds produced by the mother clams.

Li Qi could see that these clam mothers were surrounded by phantom formations. Each one of them was still beating the clam shells, as if they were in a state of ecstasy, but in fact they were always stuck in the trap, unable to escape, and they were still there. Continuously produce the products the Bai Zhu family needs.

Is this... a reared mussel mother?

I thought some means were used, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.

Are all the clams raised through the magic array and the mechanism in the center of the mansion in front of them? It's really... hurtful to Tianhe.

So where did the mother clam itself come from? The seeds produced by the mother clam should only give birth to ordinary pearl clams, and certainly not the mother clam.

"No, these clams... have dragon energy in them? Is the birth of the clams related to dragon energy?" A thought came to Li Qi's mind.

So he went deeper into it.

When we reach this place, it is no longer a place where we can enter simply by being in harmony with our body.

The surrounding area is filled with various mechanisms and illusion formations, and there are also different guards standing guard in various places, patrolling back and forth.

These guards were of little use. The strongest ones were only at the eighth level, so it was impossible to see Li Qi.

The formation... is a bit interesting. It seems to be arranged by an expert. It has the overall control and coordination of the entire mansion, as well as warning and defense capabilities. It also uses many eighth-grade clams as the base of the formation. If the mother leaves, the formation will react instantly. If the entire array is not destroyed, it is impossible to touch the mother here.

Everything is done very tightly.

only……

I never thought that there would be an outlier like Li Qi.

Although Li Qi is not a master of formations, he really knows the rhyme and his eyesight is first-rate. He can clearly see the context of the formation, and even the flow of energy in it.

Probably... I directly saw the design drawing of this formation.

The expert who set up this formation is indeed very strong, maybe sixth grade or above. The Bai Zhu family must have spent a lot of money to hire him.

But... this expert just paid for someone to make a formation plate. Li Qi didn't need to face this expert directly. When he could see the entire formation plate design drawing, it wasn't too difficult to crack it. .

With this in mind, Li Qi gave it a try.

Well...it's actually quite difficult.

Li Qi found that he had overestimated himself. There were many things that he couldn't figure out even after looking at the design drawings.

What a sophisticated formation. The Baizhu family is indeed a family with a fourth-grade expert in charge.

With the design drawings, Li Qi knew the weaknesses of the array, the energy center and various diversion tubes, and could completely break the formation violently. However, Li Qi's level was still far from enough to crack it.

But...

You know, this is the world, and the infrastructure here is very complete.

Li Qi took out the terminal and dialed Shen Shuibi's number.

"Huh? What's wrong? Contact me in Donghai, be careful of being warned by the terminal's supervision." Rabbit said so on the other end of the phone.

Li Qi could see that she was still compiling the formation.

It was a super formation that was enough to pull an entire world group, and it could cover a huge range measured in light years.

Isn't there a ready-made formation master?

Moreover, the master who made this formation is probably just a younger brother in front of Shen Shuibi.

This is a real formation master, the kind who rubbed sand into integrated circuits.

"It's just ordinary communication, and the supervision is not to this extent, right? As long as the amount of information is not large, at most it will be a glance, and it won't be too much attention. After all, the terminal is really convenient." Li Qi smiled.

It is indeed risky to contact Chang'an in Donghai, so Li Qi will not contact casually, let alone start the terminal for chatting.

This is not just a matter for the terminal. Other paths will also monitor the terminal signals closely to prevent the human race from transmitting certain conspiracies through the terminal in these places.

After all, the expansion desire of humanity... is well known.

However, there is nothing to be afraid of with such a little communication, because Li Qi is not going to make any conspiracy, but he still has to hurry up.

So, Li Qi said: "Yu, help me solve this formation, and tell you the reason when I go back."

Shen Shuibi also knew that what Li Qi did should not alert the terminal, so she didn't ask much, but just stretched out her hand and clicked a few times, marking a few locations for Li Qi.

"According to the shape of the southern fire qi, supplement its miscellaneous qi, positive qi, and transformed qi, and form its qi together, and its qi will be chaotic." Rabbit said lightly, with almost no emotional fluctuations.

Li Qi nodded, then put away the terminal, and then lightly clicked a few times, easily breaking the formation, and... the entire formation was still running, and he didn't notice that he had cracked a big hole.

Walking into it leisurely, Li Qi came to the center of Baizhu's house.

Here, there is a piece of dragon scale.

It was also stained with blood and steaming, obviously fresh.

It was obvious that this dragon scale was the source of the dragon energy here.

Next to the dragon scale, a seventh-grade merman was swimming.

Just after Li Qi came in, he suddenly looked in Li Qi's direction.
