Chapter 286 Determining Factors
"Fellow Taoist Qianqing." When Chen Changsheng came to Li Qianqing, he had a faint smile on his face to express his friendliness and the friendliness of their Wutong Chen family. .
“It turns out to be fellow Taoist Changsheng.”
Li Qianqing looked at Chen Changsheng and quickly recognized him.
This is the first time he has met Chen Changsheng, the Chen family’s foundation-building monk, but he has seen his portrait before. Now the Li family has a complete collection of information about the surrounding foundation-building forces, especially It was these foundation-building monks who had not yet established a relationship with the foundation-building forces. They immediately recognized each other and expressed a friendly attitude towards them.
When Chen Changsheng heard Li Qianqing recognize him and call him that, he knew that the worst thing he had just thought about would not happen.
At least he can go to Evergreen Mountain smoothly and attend the foundation-building banquet of two Li family foundation-building monks.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist Qianqing, the family has built two more foundations!" Chen Changsheng, who knew it was not the worst outcome, congratulated him first.
"Yes." Li Qianqing smiled and nodded, then turned around and said, "Xunxin, send fellow Taoist Changsheng up."
Hearing the sound, Li Xunxin came to Chen Changsheng.
"Senior, please come with me."
"Okay."
Li Qianqing is mainly responsible for receiving the foundation-building monks here. There will be many foundation-building monks coming this time. Stay here for half a day.
Li Qianqing glanced at Li Xunxin and Chen Changsheng, and then looked away.
Since the Li family intervened in the power dispute in Wutong County, the Chen family has not done anything to hinder them. No matter what the reason is, this is a good thing for the Li family. Li Qianqing welcomes this alone. The Chen family sent monks over.
Later, the Li family's actions in Wutong County also required the Chen family.
For the development and growth of the family, they must try their best to get the most things at the minimum cost. This has caused conflicts in the Chen family. In Li Qianqing's opinion, it must be doing more harm than good.
Qingfeng Valley needs the Li family to intervene in the power disputes in Wutong County to contain them and slow down their development. This is also due to the deep relationship between the Chen family and the Jiang family. If there is a conflict with the Chen family, they will have to spend more energy in Wutong County.
'It's pretty much what I thought...' Li Qianqing had some thoughts about the Chen family sending monks, and the possibility was very high. His guess was naturally based on the performance of the Chen family in the past ten years.
Although the Chen family and the Jiang family have a deep relationship, Li Qianqing does not mind establishing a good relationship with them.
This is something that many family forces cannot do. The reason is not that they do not have a long-term perspective, but that there are too many uncertainties in the future. They can't protect what their family will become in the future, and they can't even protect what forces that have deep connections with their rival families will do to them if the family weakens.
There are too many uncertain factors, making it impossible to cooperate and establish good relationships.
Li Qianqing is different. Although he has no way of knowing how many monks of the Li family will build the foundation in the future, nor can he know who will actually form the elixir... But he can be sure that he can form the elixir of Nascent Soul, because With him as the backbone of the Li family in the future, the direction of development can be determined.
As long as the other party did not have many problems with the Li family before, and now they can cooperate if they are sincere, then with him in the Li family, at least they will not weaken, but will only continue to get stronger. This certain factor is special. important.
Of course, he also has the right to speak in the Li family. They have discussed matters about the Chen family at the family core high-level meeting. Li Cunliu and Li Lilong are more concerned about this. They are both in the Jiang family. After destroying the previous foundation building, after some of his explanations, everyone finally came to a unified opinion.
Speaking of the right to speak, the main reason is that the core and senior leaders particularly believe in him.
This is what Li Qianqing has been planning since the early days of Qi refining. Obviously, he has been particularly successful so far, and it will only be like this in the future, especially when he becomes the patriarch of the family. , the general direction of the family's future development must be determined by him.
"Senior, I will send you here. The place in front is where you will sit." Li Xunxin pointed not far away, where there were already foundation-building monks taking their seats.
"Okay, go and do your work." Chen Changsheng nodded. She should have received many foundation-building monks today.
Chen Changsheng looked at the back of Li Xunxin walking down the mountain, and had already thought about what kind of gift to give to the two foundation-building monks of the Li family this time.
This time, the Chen family prepared a total of two kinds of gifts. One was a very ordinary gift, which was given in most cases.
The other way is to see the attitude of the Li family towards the Chen family. Only a friendly attitude can allow them to send generous gifts.
It’s just that Li Qianqing’s attitude towards him wasn’t enough. What made him decide to give him this gift was the attitude of this junior of the Li family towards him on the way up the mountain. The junior’s acting skills were worse than those of ordinary veterans. Many, this younger generation of the Li family was very friendly to him.
If the younger generation of the Li family had very good acting skills, there would be nothing he could say about it.
"Fellow Taoist Changsheng, I really didn't expect you to come. If I had known I would have come with you." Ma Xuanzong left his seat and came over when he saw that the next foundation-building monk to come was Chen Changsheng.
In the first two operations against the Chang family, the Chen family cooperated well. At least they restrained the Sun family. This made Ma Xuanzong feel a lot better about the Chen family. Their relationship was average, but their current relationship is average to above average. .
"Hahaha, it's all the same." Chen Changsheng responded with a smile.
As time goes by, more and more monks come.
Chen Changsheng is a foundation-building monk who arrived relatively early.
Towards the end, fewer and fewer monks came.
Under normal circumstances, there should be no more monks coming to the later points.
“You guys go up first.”
“Yes, Thirteenth Uncle.”
“Yes, Thirteenth Grandpa.”
One line After the senior and the three juniors from the Xunzi generation responded, they went up the mountain.
Li Qianqing is still waiting.
The most important thing for him here is not to receive the foundation-building monks, but to wait for the arrival of Yan Xuewei.
As usual, Yan Xuewei still likes to come over when it’s almost time.
"Sister Xuewei." After seeing Yan Xuewei coming, Li Qianqing just smiled and waited until this most important person could go up together.
If there are any monks who arrive later than Yan Xuewei, then don't come, because the time has expired and the Foundation Building Banquet has started.
The monks who really wanted to attend the Li family's foundation banquet would not do this. Normally, they would come a little early to ensure that they would not be late.
"Brother Qianqing, sister, I knew you were here." Yan Xuewei also smiled, she was very happy.
This time the two foundation-building monks of the Li family held a foundation-building banquet, which further showed that she had a good vision at the beginning, and now the rise of the Li family is even more unstoppable. Now she has more status in Qingfeng Valley, and under her operation, Qingfeng Valley will at least not openly pressure or suppress the Li family.
In order to openly suppress the Li family, at least the majority of the factions in Qingfeng Valley must agree to do so. In addition, the Li family themselves also exert their efforts, not only helping Qingfeng in the first place Gu, obtained higher scores in the four trials, and did a good job in interfering in the power disputes in Wutong County. At least he can develop and grow in Wutong County under this situation.
In short, the current Li family has not felt the pressure from Qingfeng Valley. In addition to the Li family's own abilities, Yan Xuewei's help in Qingfeng Valley is not small.
The two chatted while walking. After chatting for a few words, Li Qianqing asked, "Why didn't Rongrong come?"
Among the elders of Qingfeng Valley, Li Qianqing also invited Duan Rongrong this time. .
Although she is working for Lingshi, Duan Rongrong, the formation master, is very helpful to the Li family, and the fees she charges are really low. Monks who don’t understand the situation may think that Duan Rongrong is them. The monks from the Li family's affiliated forces who came to help did not dare to ask for too much.
"Unfortunately, she is in retreat. This is how it is for those who study formations. Once inspiration comes, there is nothing to stop it."
"I hope Rongrong can get better results after she comes out of seclusion this time." According to the information Li Qianqing himself learned, Duan Rongrong will probably be able to set up a small third-level spiritual formation after she comes out of seclusion this time.
The last time they met, he and Duan Rongrong talked a lot about formations, mainly to get to know each other.
After understanding some information, Li Qianqing could probably guess what Duan Rongrong was going into retreat this time.
Duan Rongrong, the formation master, did not come. Li Qianqing felt it was a pity. This was the first time they invited Duan Rongrong to participate in the foundation banquet, but they encountered this problem. So far, the family has not produced anyone with formation talent, which is what Li Qianqing has always wanted.
Every year a monk is born in the family, after three years, there will be a corresponding test based on their performance during the three years.
Most of these tests occur among monks with true spiritual roots and above. Even if a monk with mixed spiritual roots has a certain talent, it will be of little use to the current Li family unless he can enter the foundation building stage.
It is difficult for monks with four spiritual roots to build a foundation. Even if they use foundation building pills, their success rate in foundation building is not as high as that of monks with two spiritual roots who directly build a foundation. Unless the monks with four spiritual roots have too many other talents. Well, maybe they have some special physique, otherwise the family will never use the Foundation Building Pill on them.
Li Qianqing and Yan Xuewei chatted and soon reached the mountainside.
This is also where the Foundation Building Banquet is held.
The topics we talked about on the way up the mountain were not important. They were more focused on life and cultivation.
Yan Xuewei had wanted to know the specific situation of the land where the Li family owned three miniature spiritual veins in Wutong County. In the next few years, she would come over even if the Li family did not hold a foundation banquet. Now Li Xingsheng and Li Xunming's foundation building ceremony It was just right for her to hold the banquet together.
However, the situation she wanted to know was more important, so she didn’t talk about it on the way up the mountain. She would talk about it after the foundation banquet.
Li Qianqing also has some things about Qingfeng Valley. He wants to learn more about it from Yan Xuewei. The information related to the transmission notes is particularly important, so if there is any less important information, you need to sit down and take a good look at it. Communicate and communicate.
As Li Qianqing and Yan Xuewei came up, the foundation building banquet of Li Xingsheng and Li Xunming officially began.
At this foundation building banquet, there were a total of six foundation building monks from the Li family present, and the one who didn’t come was Li Xunting.
Li Xunting is still guarding Luoyun Valley in Wutong County.
The situation in Wutong County is no better than that in Xiangshui County.
In fact, normally Li Xunting would be fine even if she came back. When the Li family held the foundation banquet, the Chang family and the Sun family probably didn't dare to do anything. If they really did it, what would they face? It’s the anger of the Li family.
With enough reasons, the Li family is now capable of taking down the Changsun family even without the help of other foundation-building and immortal cultivating families.
The other party doesn’t dare to do this, and the Li family doesn’t want to gamble, so it’s better to play it safe.
That situation is what the Chen family and the Ma family hope to see. The Li family does not want to do this, because it will also cause great losses to the Li family. This is very inconsistent with the current development strategy of the Li family.
At the foundation building banquet, it was still the same as usual. The monks in the foundation building stage were together and the monks in the Qi refining stage were together.
Among the qi-refining and immortality-cultivating families, the three affiliated qi-refining forces from the Li family in Wutong County all came.
The monks from these three families sat together. They came from Wutong County, and there seemed to be some distance between them and the forces affiliated with the Li family in Xiangshui County.
Ding Yuanchun looked at the area of foundation-building monks. This was the moment he had seen the most foundation-building monks in his life so far.
What surprised him was that the foundation-building monks of the Chen family also came.
When he saw Chen Changsheng, he felt that it was right for the Ding family to become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
According to the information from their previous investigation, the relationship between the Li family and the Chen family should be said to be bad. As a result, the Chen family’s foundation-building monks came to attend the foundation-building banquet held by the Li family. This shows that the relationship between the Chen family and the Li family At least the relationship has changed.
This change is good for the Ding family.
Their family's spiritual place is relatively close to the Chen family. If the relationship between the Chen family and the Li family is particularly bad, and both sides secretly take action, their situation will be very uncomfortable.
Before becoming an affiliated force of the Li family, they had already thought about this matter. If such a situation happened, they also believed that the final winner would be the Li family. This was also one of the reasons why they became an affiliated force of the Li family.
Compared with bad plans, they think of good results when things happen now.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, you are smiling, you must be in a good mood." The Zhu family monk glanced at Ding Yuanchun and said.
Ding Yuanchun touched his face, "Is it so obvious?"
"Well, it's very obvious."
"Hahaha, let's continue drinking. We are happy today. It means that our three families have made the right decision!"
"Okay."
Both the Zhu family monks and the Shi family monks recognize this.
Compared to the Qi refining forces affiliated with the Li family in Xiangshui County, as the Qi refining forces affiliated with the Li family in Wutong County, the stronger the Li family has a greater impact on them.
They are very happy to see the Li family continue to grow stronger.
Whether it is a foundation building banquet for one person or a foundation building banquet for two people together, the duration is almost the same.
After the foundation banquet, Yan Xuewei, who was the last to come, was also the last to leave. When the other monks left, she chatted with Li Qianqing about important things.
