Chapter 180 Situation of all parties
It was already early September when news of Li Cunliu's breakthrough began to spread widely in Xiangshui County.
Early September is the day when the Li family tests children’s spiritual roots.
On this side, the Li family has not finished testing the children's spiritual roots, and on the other side, the news has completely spread.
The current Xiangshui County cultivator community pays special attention to the Li family. If there is any disturbance in the Li family, it will spread very quickly. Unless the monks of the Li family deliberately block the information, the situation will be different. Li Cunliu There is obviously no need to block the news of success in the later stage of foundation building.
When this news spreads, it will generally be beneficial to the Li family.
“Let me tell you some news. The head of the Li family has entered the late stage of foundation building.”
“You don’t need to tell us about this news. After annexing the Jiang family, the Li family itself is already very mature. Now that the head of the Li family has entered the late stage of foundation building, the Huang family has no chance of competing with the Li family. "
"Even if the head of the Li family has not entered the late stage of foundation building, I think the Huang family has no chance. There is no chance, after all, there is only one monk in the foundation building stage in their family."
"Okay, okay, if everyone knows this situation, just say a few words. Anyway, the Li family has become stronger. We little people have no influence. The prices of the items sold by their family are still the same as before.”
The casual cultivators in Xiangshui County are very concerned about the Li family, and every bit of news about the Li family can become a source of conversation for them.
They who pay attention to the Li family actually don't care much about whether the Li family has become stronger or weaker, and this does not affect their interests. Casual cultivators still have a good impression of the Li family's. The reason is that the items sold in the Li family's store are still similar to those in the past. The overall quality of some elixirs has improved even though the price has remained unchanged.
With the further changes in the Li family, the happiest thing is the Qi refining and immortality cultivation force affiliated to the Li family.
They were protected by the Li family, and the rise and decline of the Li family had a great impact on them.
Originally, as an affiliated force, the robber cultivators in Xiangshui County generally did not dare to offend them. Now that the head of the Li family, Li Cunliu, has entered the late stage of foundation building, these robber cultivators do not dare to offend them.
Once they are robbed by robbery cultivators, they can seek help from the Li family. Faced with such a situation, if the Li family wants to, they can send out late-stage foundation-building cultivators to help them solve this problem.
The traveling efficiency of monks in the late stage of foundation building is much higher than that of monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
After they used the transmission talismans, it was possible that the cultivators of the Li Family in the late stages of foundation building had already arrived before the robbery cultivators left.
I heard that Li Cunliu has been solely responsible for the security management of the Li family in recent years, and the security management of the Li family also includes the safety of their affiliated Qi refining and immortal cultivation forces, even though they are on the fringes of the Li family. , but even in the fringe areas, they are still within the scope, and the Li family will fulfill their obligations.
Like the casual cultivators in Xiangshui County, the affiliated forces also have a favorable impression of the Li family.
The reason for their goodwill is that the Li family has never broken their promise to them, which makes them more willing to provide resources every year.
"Third Grandpa, do we still want to become an affiliated force of the Li family?"
"Now...well, I should have joined if I had known. If I joined now, I would have to pay every year. There are more resources..."
After Li Cunliu entered the later stage of foundation building, he wanted to join the Li family's Qi refining and immortal cultivation family power, but the conditions changed again.
This will continue to change as the Li family becomes stronger, and the same will happen if it becomes weak.
"Third Grandpa, now we..."
"Let's forget it. Under the current conditions, we will be safe as a subsidiary force of the Li family, but it will be difficult for the family to develop."
For a family, development is very important. Of course, some families think safety is more important. This is determined by the different thoughts of the core and senior leaders of the family.
Now in Xiangshui County, there are still qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families that are struggling with whether to become a subsidiary of the Li family. This is all because of the indecisiveness of the family's top leaders. Most of the qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families should become affiliated. They have become what they don’t want to be, and they are indifferent to this news.
Only those who are still wavering will regret it.
Generally speaking, the Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families that are close to the Li family's spiritual land tend to become affiliated forces of the Li family. In this way, they will be positively influenced by the powerful Li family, and they don't have to worry about when the Li family will annex them. .
It is very cost-effective for the Li family to keep them producing resources every year and then provide them as supplies. If they manage it themselves, the shortage of monks will be even more serious. At that time, they may have to hire Loose practice.
After the situation of the Li family changes later, there must be a reason to annex them.
As long as they are honest, there is no way they can leave any clues to the Li family.
What's more, annexing one's own affiliated forces is far better than cannibalizing hostile forces. The impact of the former will cause many affiliated forces of the Li family to lose confidence in them, and a crisis of trust in the Li family will erupt. Unless the Li family gives They can all accept the reasons. The best reason is that this affiliated force betrayed the Li family.
Therefore, with the umbrella of protection, they must be honest and honest, so that they can have room for development under the big tree of the Li family.
Among the qi-refining and immortality-cultivating forces in Xiangshui County, the one who is most worried is the qi-refining family that was formerly affiliated with the Jiang family.
They are really afraid that the Li family will do something to them.
Facing the behemoth of the Li family, they had no room for resistance at all.
To be safe, they must be more honest and not make any small moves. They hope that the Li family can maintain their current good image and not just find any reason to attack them. The image of a family affects its reputation and how many monks or forces want to do business with them. A family that attacks for no reason will definitely have a bad impact in this regard.
The problem now is that the Li family actually has a reason to attack them, although this reason is very reluctant.
In the battle between the two major forces in the world of immortality, unless the affiliated forces are involved, after one side is destroyed, the victorious side will not take action against their affiliated forces.
They hope that the Li family can maintain this potential rule.
Now the Li family has no intention of attacking them, which is why they feel lucky. Among these Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families, they are still thinking about whether they can become an affiliated immortal-cultivating force of the Li family many years later.
The fact that the Li family does not take action does not mean that the current affiliated forces of the Li family will be indifferent to them.
Especially when there was friction between the Li family and the Jiang family, the grievances formed at that time must be settled.
The Li family also has secret support in this regard.
Some immortal cultivating families affiliated with the Jiang family who had no grievances before feel very lucky. Now they have no such troubles.
The Huang family is the only foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family in Xiangshui County.
They no longer have much feeling about Li Cunliu entering the late stage of foundation building.
Even if Li Cunliu has not entered the late stage of foundation building, their relationship with the Li family will not be affected. Now that Li Cunliu has entered the late stage of foundation building, their relationship with the Li family has not changed.
In the past, the relationship between the Huang family and the Li family was established because of Li Qianqing. Now, as long as Li Qianqing does not fall, the relationship between the Huang family and the Li family will basically not change.
Based on their understanding of Li Qianqing, Li Qianqing would not do anything treacherous, at least not so far. Under such circumstances, as long as the Huang family does not cause anything, they will not be able to do anything with the Li family. The relationship is definitely stable.
Besides, it was Li Qianqing who promoted this matter in the first place. From his perspective, he generally did not want the relationship between the Huang family and the Li family to change. This would not necessarily be true if it was Li Lilong and Li Cunliu.
Fortunately, the next leader of the Li family is probably Li Qianqing according to the information they have been waiting for.
For them, Li Qianqing of the Li family becomes the patriarch, which is better than anyone else.
Now that Li Cunliu has entered the late stage of foundation building, the only impact on the Huang family is that they have to give gifts again, and this gift must not be stingy. It must not only be consistent with their status as a foundation building and immortal cultivating family, but also If it fits their current relationship with the Li family.
Without hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones, this gift would not be easy to give.
Now the Huang family is still accumulating spiritual stones, waiting for the opportunity to purchase a foundation-building pill for the next talented monks in the family to use.
……
Zihua County.
The ancestral land of the Wang family.
The Wang family has a very good relationship with the Jiang family of Xiangshui County. If Yan Xuewei, the elder of Qingfeng Valley, had not intervened, the Wang family would basically support the Jiang family.
Qingfeng Valley is their sect, and the senior elders’ warnings make them helpless on this issue.
They have the ability to support because in Zihua County, their Wang family is the undisputed number one family force. There are two foundation-building monks in the family, and they are both in the middle-stage of foundation-building. The patriarch is at the peak of the middle-stage foundation-building, but it is only when he breaks through. It failed and did not enter the late stage of foundation building.
Give the head of the Wang family another ten years, he can make another breakthrough. If successful by then, the Wang family's position in Zihua County will be even stronger.
Except for the monks in the foundation building stage, among the monks in the qi refining stage, there are a total of 23 monks in the later stage of qi refining. In this regard, they were all higher than the Li family in Xiangshui County before. This year, the Li family and their Wang family In the later stage of Qi refining, the number of monks was only the same.
"The latest news is that Li Cunliu of the Li family in Xiangshui County has completed a breakthrough and entered the late stage of foundation building."
"This old guy Li Cunliu is also lucky." After the head of the Wang family heard the news, There was still a bit of sourness in his tone.
He failed when he broke through to the late stage of foundation building, but Li Cunliu succeeded in breaking through to the late stage of foundation building. He was surpassed by the latecomer.
"... Patriarch, do we need to adjust our strategy against the Li family now?"
The head of the Wang family did not answer this question immediately.
The four counties surrounding Xiangshui County are Wutong County, Taolin County, Qingliu County and Zihua County.
The foundation-building and immortal-cultivating forces that have good relations with the Li family are mainly in Taolin County and Qingliu County...
