Chapter 181 Different Purposes
The Li family has a good relationship with some foundation-building and immortal cultivating families in Taolin County and Qingliu County because these two counties are relatively close to Qingshan, the Li family’s family.
Just like the situation before when the Jiang family’s ancestral land was close to Zihua County.
Competition between foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families is usually within the same county. Therefore, many families will choose to make friends with forces from other counties. Once any problem arises, the foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families from other counties with whom they have friends are likely to be able to provide corresponding help. , which is also the reason why they mainly make friends with close families.
It’s easy to support when you need support.
The Jiang family's situation was a case of Shang Zong's intervention. Even if the Wang family wanted to support them, they had to consider many factors.
"Let's leave it like this for now. There is no foundation-building family in Zihua County that has a good relationship with the Li family." The head of the Wang family said after some thought.
"Patriarch, the Xu family intends to make good friends with the Li family. Is our strategy really unchanged?"
The Xu family is a family of foundation-building monks in Zihua County. Li Qianqing secretly sold it for the first time. When he was buying elixirs, he went to the Xu family's shop, and then he went to Wutong County.
In Zihua County, there are a total of four foundation-building families. The Wang family has the strongest overall strength. The Xu family has been ranked second for the past hundred years.
"So what? Looking at the current situation of the Li family, they will basically not interfere in our affairs in Zihua County. Moreover, we did not support the Jiang family at the beginning, so this cannot be a reason for them to help the Xu family deal with us."
The head of the Wang family has his own ideas.
The Wang family has also gone through a similar stage to the Li family now. For the Li family, development is more important now than desperately seeking hostile forces.
The decision-makers of the Li family should also understand this.
So even if the Xu family went to the Li family last time, he wouldn't be too worried.
"Although we do not change our strategy towards the Li family, we still need to pay more attention to the situation over there."
"Yes, patriarch!"
The Wang family is also in charge of this at this stage. Can't go to the Li family.
If there is a situation in the future, it will definitely be discussed later. The current stage is to solve the current situation. The head of the Wang family does not believe that the Li family will develop rapidly and have a great impact on the Wang family in a short period of time. Influence.
Normally speaking, it would take a hundred years for the Li family to have influence over the Wang family.
And what was the situation of their Wang family at that time? No one can say for sure.
The strategy of the head of the Wang family focuses on the present. There are too many variables in the future, so for the future, the most he can do now is to be conservative and take precautions.
In addition to the Wang family in Zihua County, the other three foundation-building immortal cultivating families in Zihua County are naturally concerned about Li Cunliu entering the late stage of foundation-building.
There are other foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families in the other three counties. If they have a good relationship with the Li family, they will be more concerned about this matter and have to prepare some gifts.
As for the counties further away, they basically paid no attention to Li Cunliu entering the later stage of foundation building.
Zihua County and Wutong County are the edge areas of Qingfeng Valley and Tianhe Sect's influence.
Especially in Wutong County, the situation is very complicated. The four foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families in Zihua County are all affiliated forces of Qingfeng Valley, but it is different in Wutong County. There are foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families affiliated with Qingfeng Valley. The family power also includes the Tianhe Sect.
…
Qingfeng Valley.
Yan Xuewei already knows the news that Li Cunliu has entered the late stage of foundation building.
"Not bad." Yan Xuewei was very satisfied when she heard the news, "Tell your uncle about this news."
Yan Xuewei took action quickly.
When she helped the Li family, she actually had the intention of the owner of Qingfeng Valley, but this was not stated clearly. Of course, the most important thing was her investment in the Li family.
The owner of Qingfeng Valley intentionally asked her to help the Li family. He mainly thought that after the Li family grew stronger, they would have the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of Wutong County.
Although the Li family is developing well now, it is still difficult to intervene in the problems in Wutong County.
The owner of Qingfeng Valley has no hope that they can solve it. The influence that the Li family will develop later is enough.
If the Li family can really solve the problem in Wutong County, it is not what the owner of Qingfeng Valley wants to see. When the Li family has this ability, it means that the Li family is already very powerful.
For him, the Li family can give Qingfeng Valley an advantage in influence in Wutong County. This kind of Li family is the best Li family for him.
Yan Xuewei also understands the truth.
But she hopes that the Li family can be strong, because the strength of the Li family can counteract her influence in Qingfeng Valley.
What can be said is that in Qingfeng Valley, a powerful alchemy sect, very few monks have absolutely the same interests. At most, most of them have the same direction. This is another difference between the sect and the family.
After Yan Xuewei told the owner of Qingfeng Valley about the situation, the owner of Qingfeng Valley was also very happy.
If the Li family grows to another stage based on the current situation, it will be in line with his expectations. ……
Changqing Mountain.
Regarding the current situation in the outside world, Li Qianqing could only make a rough guess based on his own experience.
Like the purpose of the Qingfeng Valley Valley Master, he has already thought of it.
Li Cunliu entered the later stage of foundation building, which only helped the Li family to develop more stably. There are no problems in other aspects for the time being. After all, the current Li family is just an ordinary three-foundation-building immortal family. Although among the three foundation-building immortal families, , not every family has a late-stage foundation-building monk, but more than half of the three foundation-building cultivating families have late-stage foundation-building monks.
As long as his situation is not exposed, there will be no problem for the Li family to develop peacefully for fifty years.
His exposure naturally refers to the exposure of his "talent" in alchemy.
Some involve the most core issues, which only he himself understands and can never be exposed.
His talent in alchemy is known to all the core members of the family, so Li Qianqing is not worried. If the core members of the family can expose this problem in the future, it will also be a problem for him to cultivate.
At present, he has a very good grasp on the cultivation.
The Li family monks who grew up under his hands basically have no ideological problems, and they also have a strong sense of belonging to the family.
It is basically impossible for the monks trained by Li Qianou to become the core members of the family. After all, the cultivation talents are there. If there are monks with special talents, he will also test them, so that Only then can he become the core leader of the family.
"It's almost time to arrive."
As before, this year it was Li Xunting who brought the children to Changqing Mountain.
This year there are not as many monks with spiritual roots as last year, but there are still ten people, which is better than the previous year.
Three of the ten children are monks with three spiritual roots!
This number is one more than last year.
Including the three of them, Li Qianqing now has a total of six monks from the Li family. Except for Li Xunxun, the other five have three spiritual roots.
The number of family monks he wants to train now is actually no different from before.
In the past, the Li family monks he was still cultivating were usually between three and seven. The current number is obviously close to the highest value he has trained.
After adding the seven children this year, Li Qianou has twenty-four monks to train, which is a little less than Li Qianqing thought before. After all, he did not expect that there would be three this year. The three spiritual root monks were born.
Currently, excluding the three-year monks in the Li family, there are a total of eighty-four monks, including three monks in the foundation-building period, twenty-three monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and seventeen in the early stage of Qi refining. , the rest are all mid-stage Qi refining monks.
There are undoubtedly the largest number of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, accounting for half of the total number of monks.
If you include the current three-year monks, the situation is different. It is different from the previous situation. The Li family, which is still digesting the benefits brought by population growth, has a total of three monks who are still in the three-year term. Ten people, overall the number of monks has exceeded one hundred.
‘After that, the number of monks born every year should be no more than ten. '
Li Qianqing looked at the three three spiritual root monks and couldn't help but think.
When they allowed mortals to let go of life, the number of mortals grew the fastest in the first three years. Although the growth rate in the following years was also good, it was still a bit behind compared to the past three years. The average number of mortals increased by more than 10,000 in each of the past three years, and then remained at around 5,000.
This year, the number of mortals in the Li family has exceeded 250,000. Their policies have also been adjusted accordingly. From now on, they only need to maintain the number of mortals above 250,000. There can also be a certain increase. There should be no increase. Just too fast.
The current limit of their management is about 300,000. If it is more, some cultivating forces may not be able to stand it. In addition, there are other risks.
Throwing aside his thoughts, Li Qianqing quickly gave the first training guidance to the three three-lingen children in front of him.
Among the monks of the Li family born this year, there is still no special one.
Of course, this is only the result of his current test, and he cannot be sure of the future situation.
It is worth mentioning that among the three spiritual root monks last year, the one from the Xingzi generation showed great interest in alchemy. When the three-year period is about to end, he will confirm his talent in alchemy.
As long as you have good talent, there is definitely no problem in becoming the family's alchemist.
Two years ago, the family had one more monk engaged in alchemy. Now there are four alchemists in the Li family.
It’s just that the one who just started alchemy has a limited talent in alchemy, and he is still a Four Spiritual Roots monk.
The average spiritual root talent naturally represents the slow speed of cultivation, and the realm also has an impact on alchemy. Especially for elixirs of different levels, it is best to wait for an alchemist of realm or above. To refine it, for example, second-level elixirs are best for monks in the Qi refining stage not to touch.
For this new alchemist, Li Qianqing's final position for his future is to only refine the family's first-grade low-grade pills, plus a small number of first-grade mid-grade elixirs. Currently, he is still refining the most basic of Bigu Pills. of elixirs.
Li Qianqing hopes that the monks of the Xingzi generation who are still being trained by him will have a good talent for alchemy since he has shown interest in alchemy. Many times, being interested is not his talent in this area. That's fine, but if you're interested and talented, it's easy to go further on the corresponding path.
