Chapter 40 The Belonging of the Fish King, Foundation Building Materials
(PS: Please rest assured that the author is a staunch protagonist, no matter how the plot develops, the protagonist will not suffer)
Li Zhuang has a look on his face Fortunately: "After being hit by the Zhang family and sinking the boat, I specially bought two first-class water escape talismans. This time, it was a strange combination of circumstances that saved my life."
Li Qing is still Puzzled: "Even if you have the water escape talisman. But the Spirit Fish King is in Xuefeng Lake, and with the blessings of heaven and earth, it should be difficult for you to escape."
"I don't know about this." Li Zhuang was also a little puzzled. "When I used the first water escape talisman, the Spirit Fish King was still chasing me. After I used the second one, it disappeared..."
Third Elder Li Ye stroked his long beard: "Perhaps the Spirit Fish King was entangled by other spiritual beasts and monsters in the water?"
Li Hui asked Li Zhuang to describe in detail the waters where he met the Spirit Fish King. .
Seeing that several elders had no doubts, Li Hui promised Li Zhuang a heavy reward and ordered Li Zhuang to wait in the side hall temporarily.
After he went down, Li Hui asked: "In the opinion of the elders, how should this Spirit Fish King be dealt with?"
The second elder Li Fang said bluntly: "The Spirit Fish King is the second level. The top-grade treasures are of great use to the foundation-building monks. I’m afraid the Li family won’t be able to eat them.”
The great elder Li Yao was a little unwilling: "If God doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences. If we get this Spirit Fish King, our Li family may be able to produce another foundation-building monk!"
The so-called Spirit Fish , like spiritual plants, are treasures derived from the gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Different from ordinary aquatic monsters, its spirituality is pure and does not contain monster aura, making it the best cultivation material.
There are many kinds of spiritual fish with different magical uses. Most of what Xuefeng Lake produces is first-level qualifications used by Qi-training monks.
For example, the dragon-bearded golden carp is below the ninth level of Qi training. Eating its flesh can temper the physical body, and drinking its blood can temper the mana. It is a rare first-level high-grade spiritual material.
The Spirit Fish King transformed from the Spirit Fish has many benefits. No matter what the strength or type is, as a cultivation material, it is at least the second-level top grade.
Not to mention other things, just the fact that it contains the essence of heaven and earth and can improve the quality of the foundation-building monks' foundation is enough to make people flock to it.
As far as Li Qing knows, there are currently at least thirty foundation-building monks gathered by Xuefeng Lake. It may not be easy for the Li family to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
Everyone discussed for a while, but Li Yao still refused to give up. He turned around and asked Li Hui: "Brother Zhe, can you come back? He is also a great foundation-building monk, and he has Yanling Valley as his back. Maybe he can... ..."
"I'm afraid not!" Li Hui shook his head, "The day the news about the Spirit Fish King came out, I went to the messenger."
"His master is preparing to form pills, and all of his foundation disciples have important matters, and they can't escape easily. His close friends are all practicing qi, so they can't help."
Li Yao again. Asked: "Then can you reveal this news to him? It would also be good for him to report it to the sect or sell it to other sects as a favor."
Li Fang disagreed: "Yanling Valley is a long way away, even if If there is no mistake, when the news is passed, no matter how hot the food is, it will be cold!"
Li Ye also said: "As far as I know, there are people in Yanling Valley. Several foundation-building true disciples and deacons came, and there was nothing wrong with reporting it to them."
The three elders argued for a long time, but Li Qing did not express his position from beginning to end.
Li Hui listened patiently for a moment, then signaled everyone to be quiet, and turned to ask Li Qing: "What do the fourth elders have to say?"
Li Qing did not hesitate: "The nights are long and there are many dreams, and I don't agree with going to Yanling Valley. As for which foundation-building monk to reveal to, it depends on the family's daily connections..."
Zhu Yuan and Liu Yuan of Yanling Valley did not have a good impression on him. An exchange of interests under coercion is not enough for him to reveal such important information.
Seeing that Li Qing and the other three were opposed, Li Yao had no choice but to give up.
In the end, Li Hui made the decision: "Then report it directly to the Zhou court. The dragon beard and the golden carp are special. If you become the spirit fish queen, maybe you can enter the eyes of the master of the country?"
Li Ye stroked his beard and smiled: "That's very good. The imperial court has always made clear rewards and punishments. If you catch the Spirit Fish King, maybe you will be given a visualization diagram?"
Hearing this, Li Qing's heart moved: "If that's really the case. , that’s a great blessing.”
This matter was agreed upon. Li Hui immediately took Li Zhuang to visit the great foundation-building monks of the Zhou Dynasty. Li Yao and Li Ye left separately.
Only Li Qing was stopped by Li Fang and went to the family warehouse together.
In the Lingzhi warehouse, Li Yu was counting the Pingyang fungi sent from Lingfeng: "I harvested four more baskets today. The alchemists in the clan are too busy, so these can only be sent to the market..."
In the elixir warehouse, the museum shelves are filled with porcelain vases and jade vases, which are completely different from the last time Li Qing came here.
“Thanks to you, Ah Qing, for granting all the alchemists the secret know-how. The utilization rate of spiritual plants in the clan has increased, and all aspects of operations have been much easier.”
Li Fang took him wherever he wanted. After wandering around, we finally went to the cave where he was based to have tea.
In the simple cave, there is only a cold jade bed, a coffee table and a few futons.
If there wasn't a decent spiritual energy node below, this wouldn't look like a dignified elder in charge of the family's treasury.
Li Fang made two cups of tea and drank it himself: "Aqing, in the past few years, I have always been thinking about whether it was right to spend all my efforts to send Li Zhe to Yanling Valley. ?”
Li Qing picked up the tea cup and took a sip: “After all, Azhe’s achievement in foundation building helped the family withstand the pressure of the Zhang family and the Chen family.”
“The foundation building monk. It's different after all." Li Fang was silent for a moment, "But does it have to be Li Zhe? If the clan fully supports Qi Zhuji, will it be a different situation now? "
Li Qing can see it. Kai: "The clan owes me nothing. I learn to grow spiritual plants and make alchemy. Without the support of my family, I would never be able to be promoted to a high-level spiritual planter or alchemist..."
"As for foundation building, Azhe was promoted to the peak of Qi training five years earlier than me. He also has some tips from the sect, so his chances of success are much higher than mine."
Li Fang was speechless. After a long while, Finally making up his mind, he took out a wooden box from under Hanyu's bed.
"A Qing, I know that you have a high spirit, and you will not be willing to spend your whole life like the withered bones in the grave like me."
He put the wooden box into Li Qing's hands with his own hands: "This It’s a Xuan Jing Fruit that I obtained in my early years. It’s good for condensing the Dao Foundation. Although it’s not as effective as the Foundation Building Pill, it can still help you.”
Li Qing quickly refused: “That’s it. The treasure is enough to be passed down to the family. I think Brother Zhao has good qualifications, and he may be able to attack foundation building in the future..."
Brother Zhao refers to Li Zhao, who is a direct descendant of Li Fang and is currently learning alchemy from Li Qing.
Li Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am in charge of the clan's treasury, and I know it best. In the past fifty years, the family has no possibility of supporting another person to attack the foundation."
Yanling Valley as a The Shangzong, through accepting disciples and other methods, exploited these small qi-training families heavily.
What the small family received in exchange was just a meager amount of protection. And try to determine the future of the family's children.
If we can produce a great foundation-building monk who loves the family, then all the investment will be worth it.
But how difficult it is!
The sect is not a good church. If the disciples are not absolutely loyal, how can they be trained with all their efforts?
To break this situation, there are only two options: one is excellent talent, so that the sect is willing to tolerate it; the other is a firm mind, able to withstand exclusion and temptation.
Unfortunately, Li Zhe is neither of them, so naturally he can only be assimilated by the general trend of the sect.
The Li family can take advantage of his and Yanling Valley’s strength, that’s fine.
If you want to rely on him to work hard and cultivate more foundation-building monks for the family, you may have to wait until he has served the sect for most of his life and returned to his roots.
Li Qing naturally knows this.
He thought for a moment, took the wooden box, and bowed deeply: "I will not let you down! If I succeed in building the foundation, I will try my best to summon my brother's foundation building materials!"
