After Li Xingwei successfully built the foundation, the number of monks in the family's foundation building period returned to eight again.
Originally, Li Lilong thought it was Li Qiuling or Li Qiuben who was the eighth monk in the foundation-building period of the family.
It is relatively normal for Li Qiuling to fail to build the foundation after using the Foundation Building Pill. After all, he is just an ordinary dual spiritual root monk, while Li Qiuben can basically succeed in building the foundation when he only has the Foundation Building Pill. There is also the blessing of a special physique.
For Li Lilong, it is a very happy thing for a monk in the family who is not a foundation-building seed to build a foundation, especially a monk with four spiritual roots like Li Xingwei. This is also the first time in the history of the family Once the four spiritual root monks successfully built the foundation.
Building a foundation with mixed spiritual roots is something that is not available in more than half of Zhao’s alchemy cultivating families.
There are currently three foundation-building monks on the Changqing Mountain side, and there are only two on the Changqing Mountain side, his daughters Li Qianyin and Li Xunming. After Li Xingwei becomes the family's foundation-building monk, he has no choice. According to the family's allocation, he will be Assigned to Changqing Mountain.
Li Xingwei has no objection to this. This matter itself is subject to the family's arrangements, and the family elders will give him a suitable cave.
"By the way, Xingwei, when do you want to hold the foundation banquet?" Li Lilong asked.
If the patriarch Li Qianqing was still there, he would normally be able to hold a foundation banquet for Li Xingwei in one month. Now that Li Qianqing is out for training, Li Lilong has also given him more opportunities to choose.
The Li family does not stipulate that the patriarch must be present when the family's foundation-building monks hold the foundation-building banquet, but since the establishment of the Li family, the patriarch has never been absent from the foundation-building banquet.
If Li Xingwei wanted to hold a foundation banquet in a month, he would host the foundation banquet this time. If he wanted to wait until Li Qianqing came back to host it, the clan leader would naturally host it.
"Fourth Grandpa, what do you mean..."
"This mainly depends on yourself, but when your thirteenth uncle comes back from experience to hold the foundation banquet, you should be our Li The first clan member in the family to hold a foundation-building banquet will have a monk in the alchemy stage present.”
The monk in the alchemy stage that Li Lilong was referring to was naturally Yan Xuewei.
If Li Qianqing is here, Yan Xuewei will usually come over. If a foundation building banquet is held at this time, Yan Xuewei will at most send a Qingfeng Valley foundation building elder to come over.
Li Lilong is very clear about the relationship between Li Qianqing and Yan Xuewei. If the Li family and Li Qianqing give her a choice, she will definitely choose Li Qianqing.
I still remember that after working with Yan Xuewei for a period of time, Yan Xuewei threatened them that the leader of the Li family must be Li Qianqing. At that time, they had such an idea, so they were not satisfied with Yan Xuewei's remarks. Not angry either.
"Then I'll just wait for the Thirteenth Uncle to come back."
Li Xingwei thought about it for a moment. He was not only the first monk in the foundation building period after the Thirteenth Uncle became the patriarch. , and he is also the first monk in the Li family to have a monk in the alchemy stage attend the Foundation Building Banquet. Although there are rumors in the world of immortal cultivation that the Foundation Building Banquet is best held one month after the Foundation Building, as it is more meaningful.
But the choice currently before him, compared to the illusory meaning of the latter, the former has a better meaning, and it is also very face-saving.
"Okay, that's it. You go to the family treasury first and exchange it for two second-level low-grade Spirit-Reinforcing Pills to consolidate your cultivation."
"That Fourth Grandpa... I only have a little contribution left with me now. "
"Now that you are the foundation-building monk of the family, your status has become the core of the family. You can owe contribution points, and you can make up for it quickly." Li Lilong smiled softly and became the family's core building monk. After becoming a monk in the basic period, the contribution points gained each year are not limited by one's own spiritual roots.
Whether it is a monk with two spiritual roots or a monk with four spiritual roots in the early stage of foundation building, if he does not do anything every year, he can get a lot of contribution points by guarding any place. The amount obtained by both is also the same.
“I understand, Fourth Grandpa.”
Li Xingwei nodded. In the next period of time, he would consolidate his cultivation, and then go to Changqing Mountain to listen to the arrangements for the Fourteenth Aunt.
Since the Thirteenth Uncle became the family patriarch, the Fourteenth Aunt has been arranging the specific affairs in Changqing Mountain.
Li Xingwei thought about it for a moment. Although he is now the weakest monk in the foundation building stage in his family, in terms of seniority, he still has three juniors in the foundation building stage, two of whom are still in the middle stage of foundation building.
……
The Ming Dynasty.
Yanyu County.
Li Qianqing arrived here more than half a year ago.
The second opportunity is not like the first opportunity. You don’t need to prepare anything, you just need to find a place and enter.
Having been in Yanyu County for more than half a year, based on his experience here in his previous life, and after asking around to obtain new information, he had a very ordinary jade pendant in his hand.
This seemingly ordinary jade pendant is the key to that place.
"Finally I got it." Li Qianqing smiled. During his time in Yanyu County, he also spent more than 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Many information cannot be obtained in vain, and a certain price must be paid.
Compared to what he would gain later, this price was completely acceptable to him.
Yanyu County is a major county in the Ming Dynasty. There are three Dan-forming level forces here, one is the Dan-forming Sect, and two are the Dan-forming Immortal Cultivation Clan. There are dozens of foundation-level forces. As for Qi refining level forces, there are simply too many.
Inquiring about the news in Yanyu County, it is best to pay attention to these three alchemy formation forces, especially the sect’s alchemy formation power Kunyuan Sect, which has late-stage alchemy formation monks. For him, this level of monks, Still very threatening.
The process of inquiring about the news was generally smooth. There was nothing disturbing, and there was no interception by the monks.
My initial experience in Xiyun County was mainly about meeting a monk with that special physique. Such a situation is really very unlikely. If I had not met that monk, this trip to the Ming Dynasty would have at least reached So far he will not be targeted by any monks.
After getting the key to the trial place, that’s where you want to go now.
There are five levels in the trial. After passing three levels, you will have a chance to leave. If you are in the first three levels of the trial, you will not be able to leave unless your strength has reached Yuanying. The infant monk didn't think much of this opportunity.
In his previous life, he only passed three levels. When facing the fourth level, his strength did not allow it.
In his previous life, when he reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment monks. It was precisely for this reason that he was able to pass the third level and obtain the pill-forming spiritual object Tianyun. Water, after he reached the peak of foundation building, he luckily succeeded in forming a pill with the help of this Tianyun water.
The founder of Shuiyun Sect, who had a good relationship with Qingfeng Valley, used the elixir-forming spiritual object Tianyun Water to successfully form elixirs, and then the name Shuiyun Sect came into being.
Two days after getting the key to the jade pendant, Li Qianqing came to a desert east of Yanyu County.
In this desert in his previous life, he first discovered the special keyhole for the entrance to the trial. Then by chance, he got the jade pendant in his hand now. After that, he started the trial test and obtained The rewards for the first three levels, I tried the fourth level and left.
In this life, you need to find the key to the jade pendant first, and then come here.
Li Qianqing fell on a hill.
‘It should be around here. ’ The entrance to the trial cannot be detected with spiritual consciousness, and compared with the present in the next few decades, the terrain here will still be quite different due to the erosion of the strong wind.
In his impression, the entrance is nearby, just be patient and look for it.
What Li Qianqing lacks most is patience, which is also a quality that an excellent alchemist must possess.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the temperature in the desert has begun to drop.
It has been two hours since Li Qianqing appeared here.
For two hours, he carefully searched for the entrance to the trial.
“It turns out to be here.”
Under the moonlight, Li Qianqing found the entrance to his second chance at the bottom of a sand dune. The sand and stones here had been turned over by him. All over.
Finding it at this point in time is similar to what he thought. It will take some time. If it comes here decades later, it will be easier to find it.
Li Qianqing took out the jade pendant key and pointed it at the recess with the carved pattern.
The pattern of the pattern, for this is the pattern on the front of the jade pendant.
At this moment, there was a "click" sound from below, the ground began to shake slightly, and the sand and stones were beating. After a while, the exposed stone door slowly opened.
Li Qianqing went in without hesitation.
When he entered, the stone door closed immediately. After a while, the place returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
After walking about ten feet, Li Qianqing came to a palace-like hall. There were moonstones hanging all around, and he also dispersed the flame in his hand. It was the same as in the previous life. The place was empty, and the lines on the wall were almost invisible.
There is nothing important in the hall. He also searched for it in his previous life. As long as he opens the door directly in front of him, the first trial will officially begin.
Beside the gate there is a stone slab, on which is engraved the master who set up the trial. The words left behind are:
Congratulations, my destined person, can enter here. There is hope of getting a share of my inheritance. Whether you can get the inheritance mainly depends on your performance... Pushing the door in front is the first level of my trial for you. You can get a reward for each level you pass. A total of There are five levels...
Below this text, there is a small note.
The general meaning is that only by passing the first three levels can one leave this place normally, and after reaching a certain level of strength, one can naturally leave here abnormally.
Li Qianqing did not start the trial immediately, but carefully watched every place in the hall.
In his previous life, he didn't find anything. Maybe with a different perspective, he could find something.
Unfortunately, the final result was still the same as in the previous life. There was indeed nothing valuable in the hall, and it also consumed an hour of his time.
Push open the door and walk through the five-step aisle.
The room here is not big, with two large doors at the front and back, and two small doors next to it.
The small door was not for him to pass through. When he officially stepped into the room, the door behind him was closed. At the same time, the two small doors slowly opened upward.
Two puppets were exposed inside the small door. When the small door was completely opened, the eyes of the puppets inside glowed red.
The puppets have been activated. By defeating these two puppets, he will pass the simplest first level.
These two puppets are both second-level low-grade ones. A more powerful early-stage foundation-building monk can usually defeat the two puppets and pass the first level when using all his strength.
The owner here must be a puppet master, and the final inheritance, Li Qianqing guessed, should be about refining puppets.
Li Qianqing is not very interested in this thing, but he is not the same as he was in his previous life.
It will definitely be good for the Li family to obtain the inheritance. If the family has a puppet master in the future, they can also use this inheritance.
In the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, puppet masters not only need to master some weapon refining methods, but also have formation techniques. Of course, they do not have to be like weapon refiners or formation masters to become puppet masters. You need to be very talented, otherwise the benefits of becoming a puppet master are far less than the wasted materials.
The materials for refining puppets are also quite expensive.
The secret technique of divine consciousness has no effect on puppets, so when he reached the late stage of foundation building in his cultivation, Li Qianqing did not practice the "Three Skills of Destroying Gods" to further improve his strength.
Although the secret technique of divine consciousness has no effect on puppets, the powerful divine consciousness is still useful.
The best way to deal with a puppet is to find the core of the puppet and destroy it. Powerful spiritual consciousness is very useful in this regard. However, monks with powerful spiritual consciousness are not weak in their own strength. For ordinary people, They won't look for the puppet, they will just destroy the puppet entirely.
For puppets with similar strength to them, it is difficult to find the puppet core. The more powerful the puppet, the harder it is to find the puppet core. At this time, the stronger the consciousness is needed, so when dealing with the puppet When the time comes, there are many benefits when the spiritual consciousness is stronger than one's own realm.
“Go.”
A pale white dagger flew out from Li Qianqing's sleeve and hit a puppet in the back at an extremely fast speed. The next moment, the puppet was paralyzed.
The other puppet met the same fate.
In the late stage of foundation building in his previous life, when facing the first trial, he directly destroyed the puppets and then saw the puppet cores. Now he does not look for them and knows that the cores of the two puppets are there. where.
With just a little bit of spiritual power, he easily passed the first level.
When he put away the mid-grade spiritual weapon dagger, he also put away the two paralyzed puppets. Before entering here, he originally wanted to prepare two or three more high-level storage bags to store this place. He also collected some materials, and then an excellent puppet master really appeared in the Li family. These paralyzed puppets could also give him a reference and learn something from them.
After being intercepted by a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and early stage of pill formation, he had a high-level storage bag and a low-level storage ring in his hand, so he didn't need to prepare.
He will put all these paralyzed puppets into the storage ring.
The low-end storage ring in his hand has about eight times more space than the high-end storage bag, and the price is about fifty times more.
After the two puppets were paralyzed, a stone platform slowly rose in the center of the room.
On the stone platform is his reward for passing the first level. (End of chapter)
