Chapter 285 Increasing Influence
The Li family once again had a foundation-building monk, and the fact that the foundation-building banquet of the two foundation-building monks was held together quickly spread.
Many foundation-building-level forces have received invitations to the Li family’s foundation-building banquet.
“It seems that it has only been three years since the last time the Li family built a foundation for alien spiritual roots. Now there are monks building a foundation again.”
“I heard that this time The Li family’s monk is named Li Xingsheng, and he is also a Three Spiritual Roots monk!”
"You said that the Li family's monks didn't hold a foundation building banquet last time. Do you just want to wait until this time to hold it together?"
"The Li family is just a foundation building force, and it shouldn't be as powerful as you said. ? Three years ago, you would have thought that the monks who were building the foundation this time would be successful. This... is incredible."
Compared to Li Xunming, after the news of Li Xingsheng's foundation building spread, the monks were more concerned. The discussion was very heated, not only because Li Xingsheng was the foundation-builder of the Three Spiritual Roots monks, but also because the two of them had a foundation-building banquet together, which was also worth discussing.
Many monks are thinking about the reason why Li Xunming’s foundation building banquet was postponed. Considering the current situation of Li Xingsheng’s foundation building, the reason seems to be this. Although this reason is incredible, it is difficult for them to think of anything better. The reason for the answer.
In addition to the situation where the Foundation Building Banquet was held together, some casual cultivators also took over the management of Monk Square City from the Li family, which can be seen in conjunction with what is happening now.
It is easier for them to come to a conclusion.
The Li family now has more and more control over Xiangshui County, causing many people to ignore that in Xiangshui County, there is actually a foundation-building and immortality-cultivating family, the Huang family. The current influence of the Huang family in Xiangshui County does not seem to be much different from that of some of the top Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families.
"Have you noticed that the Li family has been getting stronger, but they have not taken any action against the Huang family." When some monks were discussing Li Xingsheng's foundation building, they thought of another one in their Xiangshui County. A family that builds foundation and cultivates immortality.
"The Li family has always been kind in doing things. As long as the Huang family does nothing, the Li family will not do anything to them." A monk was very confident when he said this, as if no one understood Li Jia better than him. It feels like home.
“I agree. Look, after the Li family took over the management of our monk market, there are fewer monks who dare to cause trouble in the market.”
The Li family imposes very severe penalties on monks who cause trouble in the monks' square.
Most of the monks are happy to see this.
"Speaking of which, when will the Li family recruit people to work? I kind of want to join the Li family."
"No matter how good the Li family is, you will definitely be restricted when joining the Li family. I still prefer it now.”
“It’s okay, I’m willing to have restrictions, but the problem is that there is no opportunity at the moment.”
Some casual cultivators were discussing whether the Li family would accept people. Now, some Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families in Xiangshui County are also discussing this issue.
These qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families naturally do not include those who have become affiliated forces of the Li family.
Most of the Qi Refining families that have long become affiliated forces of the Li family are becoming more and more happy to see that the Li family is getting stronger and stronger. Only a few of the families, some monks are worried, what if the family If the monks in the family successfully build the foundation, what will the Li family do to them?
There is currently no reference answer to this question.
Compared with these problems, the Qi Refining Family will have a lot more troubles because it has not become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
"Clan leader, how about we become a subsidiary force of the Li family now? If the Li family continues to be so strong, they will definitely acquire our spiritual land."
The Gao family of Xiangshui is An independent Qi refining family relatively close to Evergreen Mountain.
As the Li family becomes stronger again, they must worry about this problem.
If the Li family continues to be strong, they will need more spiritual veins. In Xiangshui County, the sources of these spiritual veins are, in addition to the previous affiliated forces of the Jiang family, these independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families. , is undoubtedly the second best choice for the Li family.
The Li family wants to acquire their spiritual land, and they have no reason to refuse.
The lucky thing for them now is that the Li family has always been kind in doing things, so apart from buying the spiritual veins under their spiritual veins with Hua Lingshi, they should not use other methods. If they refuse, the Li family will generally not You'll be polite.
"Now that we have become an affiliated force of the Li family, we have to provide a lot of resources every year, which is not conducive to the future development of our Gao family." The head of the Gao family is still considering this issue. As the patriarch of the family, he still has not given up. hope for family development.
Especially for the Gao family at this stage, they will not be able to provide too many resources.
The head of the Gao family feels uncomfortable now. He feels that the previous head of the Gao family was too hesitant. If he had been given the position of head of the family at that time, when the Li family and Li Qianqing were establishing the foundation, the Gao family would have been too hesitant. It should become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
Compared with when Li Qianqing first established the foundation, Qi refining forces that want to become affiliated forces of the Li family now have to submit many more resources every year. If they became affiliated forces of the Li family before, they would have to submit more resources every year. Resources remain unchanged.
This decision of the Li family has also made many qi-refining and immortal cultivating families envious of those families that have become affiliated forces of the Li family early on. Compared with the powerful Li family, the amount they have to pay every year is really too small. But it is precisely because of the Li family's strategy that they have a better reputation. At least they have not forgotten many things after they became stronger.
Nowadays in Xiangshui County, many Qi refining forces are protecting the Li family from the bottom of their hearts. Among these forces, the Qi refining family that has been affiliated with the Li family in the early days is the most numerous.
"Patriarch, do we still want to continue? If we do not become an affiliated force of the Li family now, and there is another monk in the Li family to build the foundation, we will have to pay a certain amount of effort if we want to become an affiliated force of the Li family again. Just a lot more."
"Let me think about it again..."
The same thing happens not only in the Gao family, but also in many independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families.
It's just that compared to the Gao family, which is closer to the Li family's ancestral land, Changqing Mountain, the situation of other independent Qi-refining and immortality-cultivating families is slightly better.
The independent qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families just don’t want to provide resources. What they want is basically that the family needs resources to develop. If they don't want to be affiliated with the Li family now, the best outcome for them is that the Li family can be as powerful as they are and not continue to be strong.
As the Li family becomes more and more powerful and controls Xiangshui County more and more deeply, at a certain point, the independent Qi Refining monk family in Xiangshui County must affiliate with the Li family, even if it does not Subsidiary to the Li family must also become a subsidiary force to other foundation-building forces.
You must know that in the current state of Zhao, there is no independent foundation-building force. Basically, the foundation-building forces must be affiliated with the core-forming force. After the Li family continues to grow stronger, the situation in Xiangshui County will become a smaller version of Zhao State, except that there are no pill-forming forces here, only two levels of foundation-building and Qi-refining forces.
Compared with the worries and entanglements of the independent qi-refining and immortality-cultivating families, the ones who are most worried about their own family's problems are the forces that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family.
They are still living a good life in Xiangshui County, and the Li family has not suppressed them, but the Qi refining forces that had conflicts with them before are different. The reason why they could conclude that the Li family did not suppress them, nor did they instruct the affiliated Qi refining forces to suppress them, was because some of the former affiliated Qi refining forces of the Jiang family had no conflicts with other Qi refining forces themselves, and they were peaceful and content. There was no pressure at all.
If the Li family instructs the affiliated Qi refining forces to suppress them, then these affiliated Qi refining forces will also find ways to provoke conflicts and then suppress them. Facts have proved that as long as Stay safe and nothing will happen.
Among the forces that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family, there is also a relatively special existence, the Ye family.
As early as six years ago, the Ye family became a subsidiary force of the Li family.
"Now that the Li family has another monk building the foundation, we are no longer losing money." At the current high-level meeting of the Ye family, all the monks in the late stage of Qi refining were relatively happy.
Since they were a subsidiary force of the Jiang family before, when they became a subsidiary force of the Li family, they had to provide more resources every year.
“The old patriarch’s decision-making is decisive.”
“Yes.”
The older generation of senior executives of the Ye family have left. Different from the current new generation of senior executives, They felt that their relationship with the Jiang family might antagonize the Li family, so before their longevity was approaching, the last order they issued was to let a new generation of senior leaders lead the family to become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
Before becoming an affiliated force of the Li family, the Li family monks made it clear that they needed to conduct a detailed investigation before finally agreeing whether they could become an affiliated force.
The final result is naturally passed.
If the older generation were still there, they thought the result might be failure.
“The original investigation really shocked me.”
“The more serious the Li family takes this matter, the more comfortable we become as their affiliated force.”
< br>
"That's true."
The Ye family especially hopes that the Li family will continue to be strong, because the stronger the Li family, the more correct their original decision will be, and they can also see the forces that will become affiliated with the Li family in the future. The Qi Lian family paid more, which was also a happy thing for them.
They envy the Qi Refining family that became an affiliated force of the Li family in the early days, and those who became an affiliated force of the Li family later, why don't they envy them?
……
The eighth day of August.
This year is the day when Li family's two foundation-building monks, Li Xingsheng and Li Xunming, hold a foundation-building banquet together.
Compared to Li Xunting’s foundation building banquet last time, there are undoubtedly more monks coming to Changqing Mountain this time. Even the foundation building forces in a county away from Xiangshui County also have monks come to participate in the foundation building. Even though they were not invited, the Li family took the initiative to attend the banquet as a sign of friendship, and the Li family would naturally not refuse.
This time, the two foundation-building monks held a foundation-building banquet together. The monks who came to represent the forces also had two gifts in their hands, one for Li Xingsheng and the other for Li Xunming.
Most of the forces gave similar gifts. Only a few forces felt that Li Xunming's potential was greater than that of Li Xingsheng's. Therefore, they would give Li Xunming more things to express their feelings. .
If Li Xunming wanted to find out about this, he would have to use some hints.
It would definitely not be good if they explained it directly. While they wanted to please Li Xunming, they also didn't want to offend Li Xingsheng. It hinted that the other party might not understand, so they also made some efforts in this regard.
The Huang family, the only foundation-building and immortal cultivating family in Xiangshui County, this time Huang Zhifeng, the head of the Huang family, came here.
Huang Zhifeng is very worried now. He is still the only foundation-building force in the Huang family, and he does not have much life left. He estimates that his life span is less than ten years.
If no new foundation-building monks are born in the Huang family within these ten years, the Huang family will no longer be a foundation-building force, but will become a Qi-refining force again.
When the foundation-building forces have not been eliminated, because there are no foundation-building monks in the forces, it has happened many times in the Three Small Kingdoms that they have reverted back to the Qi-refining forces. These foundation-building forces have all It is a new foundation-building force. It is not stable enough and can easily change back to its original state.
Now, forty-one years have passed since the Jiang family was destroyed.
In the past forty years, the Huang family has also gained a better understanding of the Li family.
Huang Zhifeng believes that the only lucky thing about the Huang family now is that the overlord of Xiangshui County is the Li family. After the Huang family turns back to a Qi refining force, the Li family will probably not do anything to them.
But he hopes that the Li family can take care of the Huang family in the future. At this time, the relationship with the Li family will be useful. They have been managing the relationship with the Li family over the years, and now the Li family is holding a foundation building ceremony The same goes for the banquet. The congratulatory gift sent by the Huang family must be the most valuable among all the foundation-building forces.
Actually, if there is only one monk from the Li family holding the Foundation Establishment Banquet this time, the value of the congratulatory gifts sent by the Huang family will be more than the gifts sent by other foundation establishment forces, but the two Foundation Establishment monks For the foundation banquet, two gifts should be prepared.
The Huang family has already taken out everything they can.
Huang Zhifeng, the head of the Huang family, did this because he had no other choice. If there were monks in the family who might succeed in building the foundation in the next ten years, he would not do this. Or maybe they have a lot of spirit stones left and have channels to buy a foundation-building pill. This time he will also give first-class things to the Li Family Foundation-Building Banquet, but he will not give super-grade gifts.
He believed that after the monks of the Li family saw his sincerity, he would be nearing his end of life, and he would be able to agree to the matter he entrusted to the Li family.
After Chen Changsheng entered the Qingshan territory of Li's family, he felt a little uneasy.
Unlike some foundation-building forces who came without invitation from the Li family, those foundation-building forces themselves have nothing to do with the fact that the Li family is not hostile, so their arrival is definitely welcomed by the Li family.
As for the Wutong Chen family, their relationship with the Xiangshui Jiang family is still too deep, even though the Jiang family has been destroyed for more than four years.
If he can't even go up to Evergreen Mountain this time, it will not only be a disgrace to him, but also to the Chen family.
When he and his third uncle discussed whether to attend the foundation banquet held by the Li family, both of them made great determinations. Another very important reason for this was that the Li family knew how to do things.
‘I hope the Li family is the same as what we investigated...’
