Chapter 315 Unexpected Development
This year Li Qianqing turns 100 years old.
This year, there is good news and bad news for Li Qianqing.
The good news is that Li Xunming broke through to the middle stage of foundation building in January this year. His cultivation speed was very fast and the breakthrough process was very smooth. This is a monk with supernatural spiritual roots.
Li Xunming established his foundation later than Li Xunxun and Li Xingsheng. His ability to achieve transcendence was taken for granted by the family monks.
With the success of his foundation building, the number of monks in the family who are in the middle stage of foundation building has increased to four, and the number of monks who are in the early stage of foundation building is no longer the most.
Last year, the Iron Carp in Bibo Lake achieved a breakthrough, and this year, Li Xunming's cultivation broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. The interval between them was less than half a year.
The bad news is that in November of this year, that is, this month, the old patriarch Li Cunliu Yuanshou ran away.
When he became the head of the Li family, he naturally knew that his great-grandfather did not have much time left, but in fact, when this happened, his mood was different.
In this life, both Li Ditu and Li Cunliu can die. This is also the change he has made, but it will be difficult to go further.
When he had a little bit of ability, Li Tutu missed the opportunity to build the foundation. Even if he was given the foundation building pill later, he would not be able to build the foundation. And given the character of the second grandfather, if he was given the foundation building pill at that time, he would never be able to build the foundation. After using it, he knew in his heart that this thing would be a waste for him.
As for the clan leader Li Cunliu, when he reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he had no intention of reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment and then making an attempt to form a pill.
At that time, when he broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he was already 174 years old, and his remaining life span was only about 50 years. He wanted to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment within this time. It would consume a lot of family resources. The Li family at that time was not the Li family now. He felt that such consumption was not worth it, so he should leave more hope to his descendants.
Because of this matter, Li Qianqing also went to persuade Li Cunliu, but it was of no use.
It’s hard for him to promise that he will definitely get the pill-forming spiritual object.
If Li Cunliu had accepted his opinion at that time, his plans would have changed in the next few decades, and now he would have received his second opportunity.
After Li Cunliu gave up the idea of cultivating to the peak of foundation building, the plan he arranged now is also the most suitable for the current situation.
Many times plans cannot keep up with changes, so his plans are constantly adjusted based on the actual situation.
The funeral of the old patriarch Li Cunliu was attended by the core and senior leaders of the family.
Even Li Xunxun would not look for any excuse at this time. He rushed back as soon as he received the news.
Currently, there is no foundation-building monk from the Li family in Wutong County.
If the Wutongsun family wants to cause trouble at this time, it is not the Ma family and the Chen family that want to kill them quickly, but the Li family.
When they use their full strength, they can take down the Sun family even without the help of the Ma family and the Chen family.
The Sun family, which is currently on full defense, is still very sensible. During Li Cunliu's funeral, everything in the family was running normally, and there were no monks in Xiangshui County making trouble in Fang City.
The news came out that Li Cunliu and Yuanshou passed away after death.
The Qi refining forces in Xiangshui County would be happier if they were independent.
The number of foundation-building monks in the Li family has been increasing over the years. Although this is just a normal sitting, it also shows that the number of foundation-building monks in the Li family has been reduced. From eight foundation-building monks to seven, The few ones are in the late stage of foundation building.
In this way, it is impossible for the Li family to expand and continue to add spiritual veins to their family.
“A few years ago, a double spiritual root foundation-building seed of the Li family seemed to have failed when using the foundation-building pill. Now that the old patriarch of the Li family is gone, the Li family cannot be stronger anymore. Let's do it."
"Hahaha, the original decision was indeed correct. The Zhang family was stupid enough to become their affiliated force when the Li family was at its strongest and provide them with training resources every year. The family has two micro-spiritual veins, which is enough to greatly slow down their development.”
"We can feel completely at ease! It is impossible for the Li family to continue to increase micro-spiritual veins."
Because of the exhaustion of Li Cun and Liu Yuanshou, some independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families also held family meetings to discuss with the previous The meeting was different. The content of this meeting was mainly about celebrating the arrival of this moment.
“When you go out, you should do what you should do. Don’t underestimate the Li family because of this matter. You must abide by the rules observed in Xiangshui County. Otherwise, if the Li family notices, they will do something to us. The reason for taking action."
"Don't worry, Patriarch, I will only feel sorry for the loss of a late-stage foundation-building monk in the Li family."
"Hahaha, okay."< br>
As for the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Family, which became an affiliated force of the Li family, they only briefly talked about this matter.
When Li Qianqing became the head of the Li family, they also knew that Li Cunliu did not have much time left.
As their position has changed, they will not think that the normal death of the monks in the foundation-building period of the Li family means that the Li family is beginning to decline, because this is not in their current interests.
If the Li family loses a foundation-building monk outside, they will really have to worry.
If they become the top foundation-building immortal cultivating family, the Li family, and then regress to the first-class foundation-building immortal cultivating family, especially the Qi-refining immortal cultivating family that later became a subsidiary force of the Li family, they will regret it again.
I regretted not becoming an affiliated force of the Li family before, and now I regret becoming an affiliated force of the Li family. This is losing twice!
Like the Qi refining forces affiliated with the Li family, the foundation building forces in other counties also reacted quite normally to the exhaustion of Li Cunliu's lifespan.
Having not broken through to the Core Formation Stage, the normal lifespan of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage is only so long. If he suffers from unrecoverable hidden injuries or the like, his lifespan will be reduced, even if it is reduced to two hundred years, it is normal.
In the eyes of many foundation-building monks, it is really good that Li Cunliu could see the Li family develop to such a place and then die in peace. Some family patriarchs worked hard for the family. After that, the family became stronger and they suffered a lot of injuries. This was also good. Of course, the unlucky ones were injured, but the family remained the same.
In November of this year, for the Li family, apart from being a little sad, the situation was very stable.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Two years passed quickly.
Li Qianqing in the Changqing Mountain Clan Chief's Cave Mansion has finished his training. Compared with when he first entered the later stage of foundation building, thanks to the practice of "Chongyuan Gong", his spiritual power has become 30% stronger.
If you give him some more time, the quality of spiritual power in his Qi Sea will be more than twice that of a normal Peak Establishment monk.
The spiritual power is of high quality, and while using magical powers is powerful, it consumes less total spiritual power. "It will be almost ready for action in the year after next." Li Qianqing made a slight estimate.
The time in the next year happens to be relatively good. At least he has to be the patriarch of the family for more than five years before going out. If he has become the patriarch of the family for less than five years, it would be a little inappropriate to go out for training. .
Based on his reputation among the family monks, there is no problem even if he does this, but it is better to be normal. After all, the attention of the Li family is quite high in Zhao Guozhong, and there are many foundation-building forces. Foundation-building monks will pay attention to the movements of his clan leader.
For Li Qianqing, this is a small drawback of becoming the patriarch of the family, but the overall impact is not significant.
Li Xunming is still the one who likes to practice the most in the family.
He went out to practice again a year ago and has not come back now. It is relatively normal for a foundation-building monk to go out to practice for two or three years.
Li Xunming, who has entered the middle stage of foundation building, was even more relieved when he went out for training. Li Xunming really can't keep him unless some powerful monks at the peak of foundation building take action.
Li Xunming brought back a Foundation Establishment Pill from his last experience, and he might bring some good things back this time, but Li Qianqing still hoped that Li Xunming would be safe, and it would be okay if he didn't get any actual gains.
Leaving the clan leader’s cave, Li Qianqing planned to visit Li Qiuben.
At this time, according to Li Qiuben's habit, he was usually taking care of the elixir.
Li Qiuben is quite special to the Li family. After his three-year term, he returned to the family's ancestral land and began to take care of the elixir and spirit valley. He also took care of a lot of elixir and spirit valley. This was also because of his specialness. A normal dual spiritual root monk The family's arrangements for him were relatively few.
Doing these things is relatively easy and efficient for Li Qiuben. The more he does, the more contribution points he gets every year. Only the core members of the family know that the contribution points Li Qiuben gets every year is unique among the monks in the family's Qi refining period.
Li Qiuben himself was in Changqing Mountain, and Li Qiuling was originally in Changqing Mountain. After Li Qianqing became the family patriarch, he came to Changqing Mountain.
He needs Li Qianqing’s guidance in refining alchemy. Naturally, he will be wherever Li Qianqing is.
Li Qiuling was also happy to follow his thirteenth great-grandfather.
Li Qiuling, who is now at the eighth level of Qi refining, can refine first-level high-grade elixirs without any ambiguity, and the elixir yield rate is very high.
After raising Li Qiuling, Li Qianqing himself has not refined first-order high-grade elixirs. Now Li Qiuling is basically refining the first-order high-grade elixirs in the family, and occasionally he also refines some first-order high-grade elixirs. Taste elixirs.
As for the first-level low-grade elixir, Li Qiuling no longer refines it. Refining this level of elixir is a waste of time for him.
Arrived at the spiritual field.
Li Qianqing saw Li Qiuben at a glance.
Li Qiuben is taking care of the elixir valley in this area of spiritual fields. There are two acres of first-class middle-grade spiritual fields and three acres of first-class high-grade spiritual fields, a total of five acres!
A few days ago, Li Qiuben had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. The body of vegetation has a certain bonus to the monk's cultivation speed. His cultivation speed is second only to Li Xunming.
Currently, he is still taking care of the first-order spiritual fields. When he reaches the later stage of Qi refining, he can take care of the second-order spiritual fields.
These are all for Li Qiuben to accumulate experience. After he officially becomes a foundation-building monk and practices the corresponding exercises, some of the second-level elixirs grown by the family in the future can greatly shorten the time to mature.
In the field, Li Qianqing stood and watched quietly without disturbing Li Qiuben.
Li Qiuben took care of the elixir Linggu so carefully that he didn't notice Li Qianqing's arrival at all. When he was almost done taking care of it, he noticed Li Qianqing standing aside.
“Thirteenth great-grandfather!”
When he saw Li Qianqing, Li Qiuben shouted happily.
In addition to taking care of the elixir and spirit valley, he spent most of the rest of his time practicing. He had very little contact with other members of the family, and the one he had the most contact with was Li Qianqing.
After the three-year period ended, he complained a little because he was not assigned to Changqing Mountain, but to his ancestral home, Changqing Mountain. Later, when his thirteenth great-grandfather became the family patriarch, The last bit of resentment buried in my heart disappeared.
"Qiuben, have you encountered any problems in cultivation?" Facing Li Qiuben who came to him, Li Qianqing said with a slight smile.
He first took the initiative to ask questions about cultivation. If there were no questions, they would talk about daily trivial matters. The main questions revolved around the elixir and spiritual field.
When guiding and training Li Qiuben, when Li Qiuben learned about his situation, Li Qianqing emphasized that he had a plant body. This special physique was best unknown to other family members except for the core family members.
Perhaps it was because he used too much force in the initial guidance and training, or it may be because Li Qiuben understood too deeply, which caused Li Qiuben's later personality changes to deviate somewhat from his trajectory.
Such changes have good and bad aspects. On the good side, he basically doesn’t have to worry. The news that Li Qiuben has a plant physique will spread. On the bad side, Li Qiuben has too little contact with his family members, which leads to some Solitary.
He would take the initiative to visit Li Qiuben for some time every year, not wanting to change his personality, but just to reduce the side effects. At least Li Qiuben would have a special relationship with him, his thirteenth great-grandfather.
Given the special nature of Li Qiuben, it is well worth his time.
So far, among all the younger members of the family, he is most optimistic about Li Qiu's success in forming the elixir, followed by Li Xunming, who has the supernatural spirit root.
After establishing the foundation, Li Qiu had already played a great role in the family, let alone after forming the core.
When the time comes, the Li family will definitely have a lot of ordinary third-level elixirs in their family library.
After the daily exchange, Li Qianqing watched Li Qiuben happily return to the wooden house between the five spiritual fields before he left here.
Everything is going well in Xiangshui County these days, and there is nothing going on in the family, so he has no important matters to deal with.
Returning to the clan leader's cave, he took out the second-level high-grade spiritual elixir and started his practice.
After using this second-level high-grade spiritual elixir, he still has seven pills left in his storage bag. If he needs them later, he can exchange them in the family treasury.
Now he is the only monk in the family who is in the late stage of foundation establishment. Therefore, other than him, no other monk in the family will redeem elixirs such as the second-level high-grade spiritual elixir for use by late stage foundation establishment monks.
The following year.
June.
Li Qianqing was quite surprised that a monk came to Evergreen Mountain. She arrived much faster than Li Qianqing thought.
