Chapter 293 A small turning point
"Ancestor, I will stay in Changqing Mountain." Li Xunxun quickly replied.
This is the answer he had already thought of.
"Oh." Li Cunliu was a little surprised by Li Xunxun's answer.
He thought Li Xunxun would choose to go to Changqing Mountain. After all, Li Xunxun had lived in Changqing Mountain for a long time, and then went to Luoyun Valley in Wutong County. Luoyun Valley currently only needs one foundation-building monk to guard it, not two. There is no extra cave there that can be provided for the second foundation-building monk to practice.
Therefore, Li Xunxun could only choose between Changqing Mountain and Changqing Mountain.
Seeing Li Cunliu's surprised look, Li Xunxun just smiled.
There is a reason why he chose Changqing Mountain. He was originally in Changqing Mountain, and Li Xunting was originally in Changbai Mountain. Later, after Li Xunting built the foundation, he went to Changqing Mountain. After that, he finally went to Wutong County, and ended up in Luoyun Valley. After possessing the third micro-spiritual vein, the foundation-building monk sent by the family to guard it was Li Xunting.
Originally, he wanted to go to Changqing Mountain, but if he thought about it, if his eldest sister Li Xunting came back and exchanged it with his fourteenth aunt or his eleventh brother, wouldn't he go back to Changqing Mountain?
This is quite possible.
Unless Grandpa Thirteen comes to Evergreen Mountain later, the eldest sister will not stay in Evergreen Mountain to practice. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xunxun felt that the number of times she would meet Li Xunting in Evergreen Mountain in the next few decades must be reduced.
‘I’m not afraid of eldest sister, but now is not the time to challenge her. ’
After making the decision, Li Xunxun thought like this.
"If you stay in Changqing Mountain, I will take you to the cave after you, and you can consolidate your cultivation." As Li Cunliu said this, he took out the transmission talisman and told Li Qianqing the good news first.
“Okay, ancestor.”
If Li Xunxun wants to stay in Changqing Mountain in the future, he will consolidate his cultivation in the cave he broke through in the next few days. By the time his Foundation Building Banquet is over, his cultivation will be almost consolidated.
Currently, whether it is Changqing Mountain or Changqing Mountain, there are only four caves for monks in the foundation period to practice. Li Cunliu, Li Lilong and Li Xingsheng have already occupied three, so Li Xunxun has no right to choose a cave. The only one left is his.
The transmission talisman disappeared before his eyes. Li Cunliu could never have imagined that the cave he had prepared for the foundation-building monks to practice would be full so quickly. If there was another foundation-building monk from the Li family, Changqing Mountain would be After the last cave is occupied, the cave is full.
At that time, in addition to continuing to open up caves, the Li family will also need to obtain one more spiritual vein.
Nine micro-spiritual veins are the limit that a foundation-building force can have. If you want ten micro-spiritual veins to merge into one small spiritual vein, you must have a core-forming force to do so. Foundation-building forces are not allowed in the potential rules, unless the foundation-building force has a powerful and particularly close backer.
The Li family obviously does not have such a backer. They have only a subsidiary relationship with Qingfeng Valley. If there is no one in Qingfeng Valley, Qingfeng Valley will still suppress them, not to mention that they can now have a small spiritual vein.
Soon Li Cunliu took him to his new cave. Before going to the new cave, Li Xunxu exchanged two spirit-strengthening pills from the family treasury to consolidate his cultivation.
At present, in the Li family, except for foundation-building pills and foundation-building spiritual objects, if members of the Dongxi family want to obtain them, they must exchange them with contribution points or spiritual stones.
When Li Xunxun was in Wutong County, he gained a lot of contribution points, especially when he helped the Ma family against the Chang family, he gained the most contribution points.
Because Li Lilong had something to do today, he didn't know that Li Xunxun was out of seclusion. Normally at this time, he would definitely come over to see how the family monks were building the foundation.
"Consolidate your cultivation. I'll leave first."
"Well, ancestor, go slowly." After Li Xunxun bowed, he closed the stone door of the cave and began to consolidate his cultivation.
Li Xunxun did not have any special requirements for holding the Foundation Building Banquet like Li Xunming, so his Foundation Building Banquet was held normally.
The Foundation Building Banquet usually takes place one month after the monks establish the foundation. At this time, normal monks have consolidated their cultivation.
Another monk in the Li family built the foundation.
Since the three Li family monks, Li Xunming, Li Xingsheng and Li Xunxun, had built the foundation very quickly and all of them succeeded in building the foundation, the discussion among the monks in Xiangshui County about Li Xunxun's foundation building was very intense this time.
"Now who dares to say that the Li family will not rise?" In a short period of time, the Li family's foundation-building monks once again added one person, allowing the monks who already supported the Li family to start talking about this topic.
If there were a very small number of monks in Xiangshui County who thought that the Li family would not rise, now these monks are gone.
Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not say some words, because now the Li family has too deep control over Xiangshui County, and the Li family will know about any slight disturbance in the county almost immediately.
However, everyone’s attitude towards the Li family is still the same as before. Because the Li family has become stronger, their behavior in Xiangshui County has not changed.
Moreover, as the Li family became more and more powerful, there were fewer and fewer robber cultivators in Xiangshui County. Especially after the last incident, the number of robber cultivators in Xiangshui County was significantly reduced. It was probably because the robber cultivators were afraid. That time the Li family He killed more than ten robbery cultivators. Although they were not from Xiangshui County, he still had a deterrent effect on them.
The addition of a foundation-building monk to the Li family undoubtedly means that the Li family has become stronger again, and if this becomes stronger, some families that are still independent in cultivating qi and cultivating immortals will have to make their own choices.
Because the Li family, which has been growing stronger, further deepens its control over Xiangshui County, Xiangshui County will no longer be able to rely on an independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family. Just like within the influence of Qingfeng Valley, it is impossible It is similar to having independent foundation-building forces.
“Another foundation-building monk is here...”
“I think we can only attach ourselves to the Li family, otherwise the family’s spiritual land may not be preserved in the future.”
"... Attach yourself to the Li family." The head of the Xiangshui Gao family finally made this decision.
They are the closest to the Li family Qingshan is an independent Qi-refining and immortal family. Now it can only be like this, and it must be like this. Li Xunxun’s success in building the foundation made the former head of the Gao family bet that the Li family would not continue to be strong. , failed.
If I had known that there would be such an ending, I should have attached myself to the Li family before, so that the resources provided every year would be less. Unfortunately, it is useless to say anything now.
Li Xunxun succeeded in building the foundation. The Li family has the eighth monk in the foundation building period. This is also a small turning point for the Li family. His foundation building has allowed more independent qi-refining and immortal cultivating families to become affiliated forces of the Li family. Now that the foundation-building cultivators of the Li family have appeared one after another, it is difficult for them not to admit the rise of the Li family. After all, the facts are right in front of them.
Before Li Xunxun’s foundation banquet even started, many unaffiliated Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families had already arrived one after another from the Li family.
The patriarch of the Li family, Li Cunliu, was previously responsible for handling family affiliations. After Li Xunxun consolidated his cultivation, this matter was handed over to him. With the current size of the Li family, if the Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating forces in Xiangshui County want to become their affiliated force, they will have to submit a lot of things every year. This is also the underlying rule of the immortal-cultivating world. The Li family has no intention of breaking it. They have already done so. It's good enough, but you must know that the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Clan that became an affiliated force before still offers the same things every year.
More than 70% of the foundation-building forces cannot do this.
Among the qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families in Xiangshui County, only some have changed their strategies. There are also some qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families who want to be black on another path.
What happened to the eighth foundation-building monk appearing in the Li family?
Even if the tenth foundation-building monk appears in the Li family, they will not become a subsidiary force of the Li family, because such a Li family will not be able to completely control Xiangshui County. Unless the Li family has a monk in the alchemy-building stage and becomes an alchemy-building family, At that time, the Li family could completely control Xiangshui County.
This thought made them never look back.
…
Wutong County.
The ancestral land of the Chen family.
Chen Changsheng came to the clan leader's cave. They had already known the news that Li Xunxun of the Li family had successfully built the foundation.
"Third uncle, this is an invitation letter from the Li family." What Chen Changsheng took out was naturally an invitation letter to the foundation banquet of Li Xunxun of the Li family.
"Well, I feel relieved when I see this." The head of the Chen family nodded.
Last time, the Chen family took the initiative to attend the foundation building banquet of the two foundation building monks of the Li family without an invitation letter. This was their intention to make good friends with the Li family. If Li Xunxun’s foundation building this time If the Li family still didn't invite them to the banquet, the Chen family would not go at all.
After the last foundation banquet, the Li family did not say anything to them later. Fortunately, in the past three years, the Li family did not take any special actions in Wutong County, let alone unite with the Ma family. What to do.
Under such circumstances, if the Li family wants to do something in Wutong County and doesn't take the initiative to come to them, it means that the Li family was just playing a trick last time, pretending to give the Chen family some face.
"Third uncle, you still don't believe in my powers of observation. I was able to give you the best last time, which at least shows that the Li family is willing to be friends with us." I couldn't remember the worry of the head of the Chen family, Chen Changsheng was not worried at all.
He had been to the last foundation building banquet and was more confident in the attitude of the Li family monks.
So when he heard that Li Xunxun of the Li family had successfully established the foundation, he knew that the Li family would definitely send someone to send an invitation letter to the foundation banquet.
"It's not that I don't believe it. After listening to what you said last time, I feel that things went too smoothly. Everything went smoothly as if the Li family was playing you." The head of the Chen family said what he was thinking. He is a more suspicious person. character.
"The Li family is dressed like a foundation-building monk like Li Qianqing. If I can't see it, forget it. As a junior in the Qi refining stage, I don't believe I can't see it." Chen Changsheng replied that he had his own reasons for judgment.
Things also proved that his judgment was correct. The invitation to the Li family’s foundation banquet was a concrete manifestation of the Li family’s attitude.
Based on the reputation that the Li family has accumulated, it can be said that last time they did not want to ruin the atmosphere of the foundation banquet, but they all acted for him, Chen Changsheng, but the invitation letter must not be deceptive, unless they want to move Shooting oneself in the foot with a rock, but for the Li family, this is a thing that does far more harm than good.
"Yes, I understand." The head of the Chen family smiled and nodded, "Fortunately, the Li family has monks to build the foundation again, otherwise I would have been suspicious for a long time."
If it were changed. In the past, when the monks of the Li family were building the foundation again, and there was an eighth monk in the foundation-building stage in the family, they would definitely not feel like they are now.
Before they were on good terms with the Li family, the Li family became stronger and their influence in Wutong County continued to expand. They would be forced into a dilemma. At that time, they even wanted to cooperate with the two affiliated foundation-building and immortal cultivating families of the Tianhe Sect, but the Shangzong Qingfeng Valley was very difficult to deal with.
It’s different now.
If the Li family continues to be strong, Wutong County will probably be divided between them and the Li family and the Ma family in the end, and there will be nothing to do with the Changsun family.
They are not worried that the Li family will only attack them. If the Li family wants to take action, they should be the first to attack the Huang family in Xiangshui.
If the Chen family is as powerful as the Li family and becomes the overlord of a county, then they will not allow other foundation-building forces in their county. The Li family can do this precisely because of Li The family has done this, and their future cooperation with the Li family will be more secure.
This time Chen Changsheng came to see the head of the Chen family, and it wasn't just about the invitation letter sent by the Li family to the foundation banquet.
“...The Ma family has two foundation-building seeds, which have been cultivated to the ninth level of Qi refining. They seem to have two foundation-building pills. In the next ten years, the Ma family is likely to give birth to another foundation-building monk. ..." These are the news that Chen Changsheng received.
Given the current situation in Wutong County, their relationship with the Ma family is also developing for the better. Therefore, when he heard the news, the head of the Chen family only had a slight reaction, but not a big one.
Now they don't need to take measures against the Ma family in this regard, they just need to manage their own family well.
"Let those three little guys work hard. The future of the family depends on them. Whoever performs well will get the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Yes, Third Uncle."
Currently, the Chen family has three foundation building seeds, but the Chen family only has one foundation building pill.
……
The spring breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. It is already early March.
Last year Li Xunxun’s Foundation Building Banquet was held as smoothly as usual. The number of monks in the Foundation Building Stage was almost the same as the last Foundation Building Banquet, but there were more monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
The reason is naturally that after Li Xunxun established the foundation, many independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivating families in Xiangshui became affiliated forces of the Li family. The first thing they did when they became affiliated forces was to participate in the foundation-building banquet of the foundation-building monks. .
Compared to the foundation-building level forces, the items given by the affiliated Qi-refining forces during the foundation-building banquet will not be of high value, but this is for the Li family and has given them a very high value. of congratulations.
And unlike the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Clan that had previously been affiliated with the Li family and participated in the Li family’s foundation banquet, the things they gave out must be higher. After all, this was their first time to participate, which also highlighted their sincerity.
"Complete."
In the cave, Li Qianqing finished refining the last batch of second-level low-grade spiritual elixirs. None of them were waste elixirs. This was what the Wutong Ma family had entrusted him to refine. Sheng Ling Dan, a thirty-part elixir, he refined in ten furnaces.
