Chapter 283 Two families on the same day
"Elder Shi's family..." Li Xunxun thought for a moment, and the other party came here now for ancillary matters.
At the beginning of last year, after the Li family took over the management of Xiushifang City in Xiangshui County from the Zhao royal family, almost half a year later, he began to spread the news in Wutong County according to Li Xunting's instructions.
Now he is not the core member of the family.
After he informs Li Xunting of his breakthrough, he will soon become the core member of the family.
After becoming a core member of the family, he would not have to wait for Li Xunting to give instructions on some important matters. He would naturally learn about it at the meeting of the family's core members.
"Take him to the living room, I'll wait for him there." Li Xunxun thought for a while and then ordered.
If the head of the Shi family came, he would go out and pick it up in person, but if the other party was just an elder, there would be no need.
The patriarch of the Qi Lian family rarely leaves the family's spiritual place. If the head of the Shi family really comes here, it means that the Shi family pays special attention to this matter. In fact, the elder can come. According to his investigation, the elders of the Shi family are all monks in the late stage of Qi refining. After the clan leader, these elders are the largest in the family.
"Yes." Li Xunyu nodded, and then congratulated, "Congratulations to Fifth Brother for reaching the peak of Qi refining."
"Yes." Li Xunyun nodded, and couldn't help but added, "But this is not the peak of Qi refining, but the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining."
After speaking, Li Xunyun shook his head slightly.
He was influenced by Li Xunting. I don’t know why Li Xunting always talks about the ninth level of Qi refining, which cannot be called the peak of Qi refining. He also knows that there is the tenth level of Qi refining, but there are many such monks. ? It seems that only the royal family of Zhao Kingdom has a ten-level Qi refining technique.
"That's right." Li Xunyu did not refute.
"Go quickly." Li Xunxun said nothing more or explained.
After watching Li Xunyu leave, he went to the reception room of Luoyun Valley.
In Wutong County, spreading the news that the Li family has obtained the management rights of Xiushifang City is also expanding the Li family's influence in Wutong County, because it means that the Li family is becoming more powerful.
The monks' square city in Wutong County has the participation of three parties. In addition to the Zhao royal family, they are Qingfeng Valley and Tianhe Sect. There is no foundation building force at all.
The most influential among them is the Zhao royal family, because they have more than half of the Xiushifang City in Wutong County.
The monks or forces who understand these will feel that the Li family is even more powerful. You must know that it has not been long since the Li family became the overlord of Xiangshui County.
Normally, a foundation-building force becomes the overlord of a county. This overlord's position will last for a hundred years before they can obtain the management rights of the Monk City from the Zhao royal family. During this period, they will only share some of the city's profits at most. .
Not long after Li Xunxun sat down in the living room, Li Xunyu came here with the elders of the Shi family.
"Fellow Taoist Xunxun." Elder Shijia shouted happily when he saw Li Xunxun. People who didn't know thought he and Li Xunxun were very familiar.
"Fellow Taoist Shi, please sit down." Li Xunxun made a gesture of invitation.
Elder Shi nodded and sat down happily.
"What's the reason why Fellow Daoist Shi came to our Li's house today?" After the two parties exchanged a few words, Li Xunxun asked directly.
He had some guesses as to why Elder Shijia came here today, but he still wanted Elder Shijia to talk about it specifically.
The visitor is a guest, and even if the other party is a very weak Qi refining force, Li Xunxun will show his welcome.
"You are such a fellow Taoist, and our Shi family intends to become an affiliated force of your family." The elder of the Shi family paused and continued, "I just don't know what specific conditions are needed now?"
The Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Clan became an affiliated force of the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family, basically seeking asylum.
For the Qi Refining Family to seek shelter, the Foundation Establishment Family mainly collects spiritual stones or resources every year. In the eyes of the Qi Refining Family, this is an offering.
"First of all, within three years, you cannot take the initiative to cause trouble, such as being suddenly attacked by a robbery cultivator. Things like this do not count. Before you officially become an affiliated force of our Li family, we will do a comprehensive inspection of your Shi family. Investigation..." Li Xunxun said a lot, making the conditions clear and clear.
If Elder Shijia doesn’t understand the conditions he mentioned, or needs a more detailed explanation, he will continue to explain.
Elder Shi listened and nodded.
To him, the conditions mentioned by Li Xunxun were understandable.
He was able to come to the Li family's Luoyun Valley and tell them that the Shi family wanted to become a subsidiary force of the Li family. They had also done a lot of research on the Li family.
The information they collected showed that the Li family is a responsible family that builds foundations and cultivates immortality. In addition, last year, the Li family was still in the hands of the Zhao royal family and obtained some monks' houses in Xiangshui County. Management rights, this can explain how powerful the Li family is now.
A responsible and powerful foundation-building force is the backer that a family like him needs.
The Li family is responsible and reliable, but it does not mean that they are willing to be taken advantage of. They accept any Qi refining forces. For example, if their own family is in crisis and they come to seek the protection of the Li family, they need their help from the beginning. , under normal circumstances, they would definitely not accept it.
Li Xunxun made it very clear and expressed the Li family's sincerity towards those who wanted to be affiliated with them.
The elders of the Shi family were able to come here because of the sincerity of their Shi family. As for the problem Li Xunxun mentioned, their Shi family did not have it. They are a very normal Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family, but they feel that Wutong County may change in the future, so they want to become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
"...The last thing is the resources that need to be handed over every year."
When he heard this, the elder of the Shi family became more serious. He just wanted to know that the Shi family needed to hand over the resources every year. How many resources are needed to satisfy the Li family's appetite.
If there are too many, the Shi family will also give up the idea of seeking asylum from the Li family.
The Shi family has made such a decision, that is, they feel that becoming a subsidiary force of the Li family may lead to better and safer development in Wutong County. If too many resources are provided, the family will develop even slower. .
They have to strike a balance between security and development. As long as there is security, there will be no development. This is not what the Shi family wants.
"I need to know the annual resource output of our Shi family." Li Xunxun did not say the unified standard of the Li family.
The situations in Wutong County and Xiangshui County are different. Especially in terms of resource collection, it is best to base on the situation of a family.
"Yes." Obviously Mr. Shi was prepared.
I saw him taking out a piece of paper from his storage bag, and using the object control technique, he made the piece of paper fall steadily in front of Li Xunxun.
"Fellow Taoist Xunxun, please take a look."
Li Xunxun looked at the resources that the Shi family could produce every year. Based on their basic assessment of the Shi family, he could probably judge that the amount of stone needed every year was What to hand over?
"One hundred pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, two thousand catties of white corn, and finally thirty small sunflowers." After Li Xunxu put down a piece of paper, he told the Shi family the resources they needed to provide every year.
According to the current size and strength of the Li family, these things turned in every year are already considered small. This is the judgment made by Li Xunxun based on the situation of the Shi family in Wutong County.
The current family strategy is to try to recruit some qi-refining affiliated forces in Wutong County. If the family strategy is changed and the qi-refining forces in Wutong County want to become affiliated forces of their Li family in the future, the conditions will still be there. There are changes. "What do you think of Fellow Daoist Shi?" Li Xunxun looked at Elder Shi and said with a smile.
"No problem, thank you Taoist friend Xun Yun." Mr. Shi thanked him directly.
The Shi family has a bottom line for the resources they want to provide. The Li family is very sincere in accepting the Shi family. The resources they want to provide are more reasonable than he thought from the beginning. Since the other party is so big Sincerity, as an elder from the Shi family, he had no reason to bargain, so he thanked Li Xunxu directly.
His final actions also showed his satisfaction.
"Well, since you agree, after our investigation results come out, we will sign an affiliation agreement with your Shi family if there is no problem." Li Xunxun said this, hoping that the Shi family could successfully become an affiliate of their Li family. power.
The elders of the Shi family nodded. They were not afraid of the Li family's specific investigation because they had no problems, so they would also be affiliated with the Li family in the future.
After talking about the business, the two talked about some other topics. These were just small talk and did not have much substantive meaning.
The meeting with Mr. Shi was almost over, and when he was about to leave, Li Xunyu came to the living room.
After Li Xunxun nodded.
Li Xunyu came to Li Xunxun's ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "Fifth brother, a monk from the Ding family wants to see you."
The Ding family is a Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family that cooperates with Wutong County and the Li family.
Since Luoyun Valley has three micro spiritual veins, Li Xunting has been guarding Luoyun Valley. The Li family already has the influence of a foundation-building force in Wutong County, and cooperation with the Ding family does not need to be the same as before.
At present, the Ding family can provide less and less useful information to the Li family. If this continues, the cooperation will be terminated.
'If the Ding family wants to give information, they should go to Changqing Mountain now... The Ding family sends monks directly here, they don't want to be attached to us...'
Li Xun Yun could only think of these for the time being.
In the past, the cooperative relationship between the Li family and the Ding family was well hidden. For the current Li family, it is not important. The main thing is to see what the Ding family wants. If they didn't want to be exposed, the Li family wouldn't say anything.
The Ding family sent people directly to Luoyun Valley, and they must have made some decision.
"Fellow Taoist Xun Yun, if I have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." Elder Shijia waited for Li Xunyu to finish his words, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he opened his mouth and prepared to leave.
"Well, Xunyu, you just happened to be sending Fellow Taoist Shi off."
"Okay."
Li Xunxun took a sip of the spirit tea and continued to wait here for the monks from the Ding family to come over.
When monks from the Qi-refining forces come to the territory of the Foundation-building forces, they would normally send monks who are in the late stages of Qi-refining. This also expresses their attitude towards the Foundation-building forces. The monks in the later stage of Qi refining are all high-ranking in the Qi refining forces.
The elder Shi Jia who was sent outside the valley glanced at the Ding family monk and Li Xunyu when he left.
He knew about the Ding family, a Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family, but he was not very familiar with it.
If the Ding family monks came here today for the same purpose as him, and wanted to become a subsidiary force of the Li family, he would feel a little strange.
You know, the Ding family is some distance away from here.
Normally, when a Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family wants to become a subsidiary family of a foundation-building force, they always choose a nearby foundation-building force. This way, when problems arise, it is convenient for the foundation-building force to provide support.
‘Does the Ding family feel that the Chen family is a little inferior to the Li family? ’
The elders of the Shi family couldn’t help but think of this. The closest foundation-building force to the Ding family is the Chen family. The Ding family’s desire to stay far away must be because of the reputation of the Li family. Although the Li family is now more powerful, their influence in Wutong County is still not as good as that of the Chen family.
Thinking of this, the elders of the Shi family suddenly felt that their Shi family was quite lucky. At least it was not far from the Li family's Luoyun Valley. If something went wrong with the family, the Li family could provide faster support. .
"I feel comfortable."
Elder Shi, who felt that he had figured it out, left in an even happier mood.
In the Luoyun Valley reception room.
Li Xunxun waited for Ding Yuanchun, a monk sent by the Ding family.
If Li Xunxun remembers it correctly, the Thirteenth Grandpa sent a monk from the Ding family, namely the Seventeenth Uncle Li Xingsheng. Now the Seventeenth Uncle doesn't know if he has started building the foundation.
Currently, none of the monks in Luoyun Valley in Wutong County know that Li Xingsheng went to Evergreen Mountain to build a foundation.
"Fellow Daoist Li." When Ding Yuanchun came in, Li Xunxun stood up from his seat.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk in detail." Li Xunyu smiled and motioned for Ding Yuanchun to take a seat first.
After hearing what Li Xunxun said, Ding Yuanchun did not exchange greetings after sitting down, but went straight to the topic.
The meaning of Li Xunxun's words was that he hoped that he would get to the point quickly, and he was no longer polite.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I came here this time hoping that the Ding family can become a subsidiary force of the Li family." Ding Yuanchun said directly.
What a coincidence to have two at once.
Li Xunxun thought to herself, maintaining a faint smile on the surface.
This is a good thing for the current Li family. According to some situations Li Xunting told him, it is best for the Li family to have five to seven affiliated forces in Wutong County. Based on the current situation of the Li family, there must be some affiliated forces in Wutong County. This can also increase the family's influence, but there cannot be too many affiliated forces.
As the family becomes more and more powerful and other favorable factors change, the situation of the affiliated forces of Wutong County can be further increased.
"Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" Li Xunxun asked, and also added, "There is no problem with the cooperation between our two families at present."
"There is no problem with our Ding family. But Fellow Daoist Li has a problem for your family. "The senior leaders of the Ding family know that this kind of cooperation will not last long.
As time goes by, the Ding family will lose the value they should have to the Li family.
"Oh, I want to hear your true thoughts, Daoyou Ding." Li Xunxun looked at Ding Yuanchun thoughtfully and spoke in a relatively relaxed tone.
For the Li family, it is necessary to collect some information.
