Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Change of Personnel, Rebirth in Honghua (Request for Full Version)
Li Qing returned to Qinghe Valley and first went to Li Yu’s cave.
At this time, the other senior executives of the Li family have left, only Li Hui and Li Yao are still there.
Seeing Li Qing coming, Li Yu and Li Hui stood up to greet him.
Li Yao sat motionless on the futon, his eyes a little dazed.
"How's the matter?" Li Yu asked softly.
Li Qing nodded: "No trouble left."
Hearing this, Li Hui's face turned pale and he sighed longly: "Alas!"
"It hurts me. Yeah!" Li Yao cried out in pain, clutching his chest and falling to the ground, two lines of tears flowing out silently.
Li Qing knew why he was so sad.
Li Zhe is the only descendant of Li Yao's brother who has the qualifications to practice. The two brothers had a deep relationship, and the other even died trying to save him.
Li Zhe said he was his great-nephew, but in fact he was no different from his biological great-grandson. Even because of the guilt in my heart, this feeling is even deeper.
The reason why Li Zhe came to Yanling Valley back then was also inseparable from Li Yao's support. After all, the stage of Jiedan Sect is much broader than that of the Li family, a small qi-training family.
Li Qing let him feel sad for a while, and then said softly: "Since the elder is old, he can enjoy his old age in the clan."
Li Yao looked at him quietly for a long time. Then he nodded: "Okay! I have already signed the secret-keeping contract, so you don't have to worry about me leaking the secret."
"You guys should seal the memory for me. The pain of bereavement really makes my old man suffer..."
Li Zhe is dead. But he still has descendants, and he still has to rely on family life after all.
Li Zhe's reckless attempt to inform the public also broke the old man's heart.
Li Qing nodded and pointed out, "Wuyouxuan Jing" turned into a halo of mist, tampering with Li Yao's consciousness.
After a while, Li Hui helped Li Yao out of the cave.
Li Qingze and Li Yu sat opposite each other and began to review the experiences of the past few days.
"When Zhang Ruoyun and the others were here, we were respectful and did not neglect at all. We should not suspect the Li family."
"When I was fighting, I only used water-related abilities throughout the process. It has never been performed in front of others, and it is not expected to be thought of by others."
As he listened, Li Yu's heart dropped a little bit: "There should be no mistakes in calculations."
Li Qing asked again about the outcome of the family discussion.
"Everyone agreed to Li Yao's abdication. Even the second elder took the initiative to hand over the responsibilities to several young and powerful newcomers."
Li Yu said eloquently: "The third elder was squeezed a few times by his old man. I had to bite the bullet and submit my resignation."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! This is something I didn't expect. However, the second elder has always been upright and upright, so this is something he can do. "
He paused and then asked: "What about the patriarch? How did he express his position?"
Li Yu sighed: "The old man seemed to be discouraged. Abdicate. The problem is that we really can’t find a suitable candidate.”
"This matter is indeed difficult." Li Qing nodded.
Since the establishment of the Li family in Qinghe Valley, there have been many branches, but the positions of patriarch and great elder have been passed down through the main line.
Li Yao, Li Hui, and Li Zhe are all descendants of the main line, and their line has always been very strong in the clan.
If it were Li Qing, or if Li Yu had a suitable junior, he could use the prestige of the foundation-building ancestor to forcibly promote him.
Unfortunately not.
"I remember that the clan leader has a nephew who has reached the eighth level of Qi training now?" Li Qing thought for a moment and pondered.
Li Yu thought about it: "But his potential is limited. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the ninth level of Qi training. In this case, he will not be able to take over the position of clan leader." Li Qing said with a smile: "I prefer the method of pulling the seedlings to encourage growth. There are a few, it depends on whether he is willing or not."
"How could he not be willing?" Li Yu held his hand, "He had no chance to break through, but now there is a shortcut. I will definitely not refuse.”
The two finalized the matter of succeeding the clan leader and revised the responsibilities and authority of the clan leader.
Originally, as the head of the family, he can only be the housekeeper in the future, doing some work of uploading and issuing orders, coordinating all parties, and just representing the Li family outside.
The lifelong tenure of the patriarch's position has also been abolished. From now on, every twenty years, the family must elect a patriarch, who can be re-elected twice at most.
"As for this person now, let him take over the position of great elder." Li Qing made the final decision.
After all, the main line has a deep foundation. If it is not handled properly, the Li family will easily become unstable.
Li Qing and Li Yu both took a step back, waiting for their close juniors to grow up, and then gradually take over key positions.
Of course, Li Yu would not steal Li Qing's limelight. After all, aside from repaying gratitude, Li Qing still has four contract elves in the foundation-building period.
He turned his attention to Hexi, where there was a crystal banyan tree sleeping, another foundation-building force.
*
A few months later, Li Hui’s nephew Li Shu unexpectedly advanced to the ninth level of Qi training.
After three resignations and three concessions, Li Pu officially took over as the patriarch, while Li Hui became the great elder.
The original First Elder Li Yao, Second Elder Li Fang, and Third Elder Li Ye all offered to abdicate in favor of more senior members of the family, and were replaced by younger and more powerful family leaders.
Everyone in the main line was still worried at first, but they were relieved after seeing this.
The first thing that the new patriarch Li Shu took over was to preside over Li Zhe's funeral.
As the first foundation-building monk in the family, Li Zhe's greatest contribution was to act as a slight deterrent when the Zhang and Chen families targeted the Li family.
It seems not worth mentioning now, but more than ten years ago, it was the beginning of the Li family's turn from crisis to safety.
Over at Yanling Valley, even though Master Qingyan was about to form a pill, he couldn't get anyone away, and it was inconvenient for his disciples to come.
However, Li Zhe’s fellow disciples still brought back a lot of training materials.
The new second elder Li Yunlue made a total calculation and found that there were slightly more spiritual stones than the Li family spent on Li Zhe.
Coming back with Li Zhe's body were the two children he had with his maid, the elder was only three years old and the younger was only one year old.
Li Qing did not compete with the children and handed them over to Li Yao who was taking care of him for the rest of his life.
If after two years, this child is tested to have a medium-grade spiritual root or above, the Li family will treat him equally and train him.
If not, then he will be sent to the mortal village of the Li family and handed over to other clan members to raise him.
When Li Zhehong's transformation ceremony was held, the entire Qinghe Valley was hung with white flags, solemn and solemn, with low sorrow and joy.
After everyone said goodbye to his body one by one according to their closeness, Li Qing lit the firewood with spiritual fire.
The flames burned brightly, helping Li Zhehong pass away.
In the family ancestral hall, the genealogy recording the cultivators appeared in the sky.
A faint gray mist filled the air, and the page with Li Zhe's name turned out automatically.
On it, the original name of Gilded Flying Fire gradually dimmed, and finally cast a layer of gloom.
A line of green smoke curled up from the rainbow ashes, slowly drifting towards the name, leaving a shallow mark on it.
It’s like closing the coffin. The short life of the first foundation-building monk born in the Li family came to an end.
