"Clan Chief Li."
After Li Qianqing entered the reception hall, the two of them shouted at the same time.
After he became the patriarch of the family, the two of them called him very formally, especially on this occasion.
Whether it is Ma Xuanzong or Chen Changsheng, they may call him by his name when talking to him alone, but now that both of them are present, it is better to call him Patriarch Li.
"Xuanzong, Changsheng." Li Qianqing nodded to the two of them, motioned them to sit down and said, "Tell me what you want from me."
Before the two of them could speak, he added another sentence.
"If you need help, just ask, our Li family will help according to the actual situation."
The Ma family and Chen family in Wutong County usually come to him for matters related to the Sun family. Now in Wutong County, The Sun family is an affiliated force of Tianhe Sect.
If the Ma and Chen families still don’t come to him in the past few years, he will go over and ask about the situation.
If he succeeds in building the foundation and becomes an immortal cultivating family, he will not be able to help the Ma and Chen families. This is something that the foundation building family will do easily, but the immortal cultivating family will not participate in.
After becoming an immortal cultivating family, if the Li family helps the Ma and Chen families to deal with the Sun family, it is 100% certain that the Tianhe Sect will take action at this time.
The forces at the level of forming pills will basically not participate in the struggle of the foundation-building forces, just like the foundation-building forces will basically not participate in the struggle of the qi-refining forces. Many qi-refining and immortal cultivating families in Xiangshui County have conflicts. They fight back and forth, but as long as they don't collude with Jie Xiu or anything like that, the Li family will basically ignore it.
But if other foundation-building forces dare to interfere with the affairs of their affiliated Qi-refining forces, the Li family will definitely take action.
These are some potential rules in the world of immortality in the Five Kingdoms. Under normal circumstances, everyone acts according to the rules. If you want to overturn the table, at least in a large area, there must be an absolute hegemon. Strength will do.
According to Li Qianqing’s understanding, the Xianlin Sect’s family has the final say over the Qianlin Land in the Nanming area, and they set the rules. From the time he learned about the Xianlin Sect in the Land of Thousand Forests, to after he ascended, the Xianlin Sect still had the final say there.
When Li Qianqing asked about this matter, Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng looked at each other and answered quickly.
“We think that the Sun family should be handed over to Patriarch Li and you, and our two families will be responsible for cooperating. After the Sun family is eliminated, our family can share the two spiritual places outside their ancestral land. ”
After Wutong County developed into what it is now, the exchanges between the Ma family and the Chen family have also deepened.
As for how to deal with the Sun family in the future, they discussed and discussed. In the end, the two families reached an agreement that the Li family would take action and they cooperated.
In fact, both of them want to take over the Sun family. Currently, the Chen family has the advantage of being close, while the Ma family has the advantage of having foundation-building monks.
But there is only one Sun family, and their ancestral land only has one piece.
Considering the more practical situation, no matter which of the two families took over the Sun family's ancestral land, they were a little bit depressed and had indigestion. Only the Li family had a big appetite, and there were also other people in Qingfeng Valley. With an Elder Jiedan as his backer, there should be no problem in taking over the ancestral land of the Sun family.
The Li family has occupied a lot of spiritual vein lands. This time Li Xingwei basically established the foundation banquet. The two of them just wanted to see if the Qingfeng Valley Core Formation Elder would come. If he came, they would After discussing these matters with the Li family like this, if they don't come over, the two of them will continue to discuss a better plan.
"Let me think about it..." Li Qianqing pretended to think.
If he is not sure about the pill formation, after taking over the Sun family for a while, even with Yan Xuewei as their backer, there will still be foundation building forces talking about this matter. After all, the Li family now has There are really many micro spiritual veins.
After taking over the Sun family, no one would say a word if he formed an elixir again, and there was no pressure from Yan Xuewei.
Now that their Li family continues to expand, the main pressure is not on their Li family, but on Yan Xuewei.
Who told you, Yan Xuewei, to protect the Li family like this? If the pressure is not given to you, it will be given to no one.
"Almost okay." Li Qianqing finally nodded and agreed, and soon he added, "But now is not the time to take action."
Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng heard All words show understanding.
After all, the Li family had been cooperating with them before, and he didn't have much thought about the Sun family. Suddenly the two families said this, and it was normal for the Li family to take some time to prepare.
This also fits their impression of the Li family.
Currently working with the Li family, they have never suffered a loss, and the Li family has never taken the initiative to ask for more things.
"Clan Chief Li, our two families are waiting for your good news."
The three of them had a brief chat at the end, and Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng left. Li Xingsheng was in charge of seeing off the guests.
After Li Qianqing became the patriarch of the family, he did not do things as casually as before. If he was not the patriarch of the family, under such circumstances, he would personally send Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng away.
What Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng came to see him about this time was not much different from what he guessed before entering the living room.
It has been fourteen years since the Chang family, an affiliated force of the Tianhe Sect, was destroyed. During this period, the Ma family and the Chen family must have discussed how to deal with the Sun family. There are only a few reasons why they have not taken action. point.
Now that they are talking about this matter and letting the Li family take over the Sun family's ancestral land, an important reason is that they are not afraid of what the Li family will do to them when they become stronger.
It can be expected that Li Qianqing has been guiding the Li family’s style since he became the core executive of the family. For a rapidly developing family, it is very important to gain the trust of many forces, so that Development becomes smoother.
Just as they thought, after the Li family became more powerful, as long as there were no problems with the Ma family and the Chen family and they tried to plot against the Li family, their relationship with the two families would remain the same as before.
Li Qianqing’s guess almost covered their thoughts.
When the two families were discussing, they came to the same conclusion that the Li family's influence in Wutong County would continue to expand, and they would not have the slightest idea about them.
This is their experience of getting along with the Li family, and it is also the actual situation.
This time I discussed this matter with Li Qianqing. Li Qianqing also considered it for a while. If it were replaced by other top foundation-building immortal cultivating families, with the support of the monks in the pill formation stage, they would definitely agree directly. Once you get down, there is no need to think too much.
Li Qianqing's thinking was within their expectations.
……
Two years later.
After completing his training, Li Qianqing slowly opened his eyes. He had just refined a second-level high-grade spiritual elixir.
After returning from an outing for training, he spent more time practicing and took pills more frequently.
Fortunately, there were ten copies of the elixir for refining second-level high-grade spiritual elixirs, which replenished the elixirs he had consumed. Plus some exchanged in the family treasury, it was completely enough for him to reach the peak of foundation building. .
According to his current training plan, he will be able to reach the peak of foundation building in another five or six years.
And when he reaches the peak of foundation building, it is also time to unite the Ma family and the Chen family to attack the Sun family, and then he can build pills with peace of mind.
After changing from a top foundation-building immortal cultivating family to a pill-forming immortal cultivating family, the demand for spiritual veins increased again. At that time, even if some foundation-building forces secretly had objections to them taking over the Sun family's ancestral land, they would eventually change Cheng has no opinion. After taking over the Sun family's ancestral land, for a top foundation-building immortal cultivating family, they indeed occupied more spiritual veins, but for a pill-forming immortal cultivating family, they occupied a little less.
The foundation-building forces cannot have small spiritual veins, but the core-forming forces can. Now Evergreen Mountain has nine micro-spiritual veins, reaching the limit of the top foundation-building immortal cultivating families. If you add one micro-spiritual vein, it will be ten.
Ten micro spiritual veins can be fused into one small spiritual vein.
Shortly after Li Qianqing finished his practice, there was a knock on the door outside the cave.
"Come in."
The stone door opened, and the person outside was Li Qiuling.
"Thirteenth great-grandfather." After entering the cave, Li Qiuling bowed and called.
"Yes, he has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining." Li Qianqing immediately noticed Li Qiuling's cultivation. Among the dual spiritual root monks, Li Qiuling's cultivation speed is considered very fast. This is due to the fact that he takes a lot of pills. Medicine is also related.
Li Qiuling is now the alchemist second only to him in the Li family, and a large part of the family's first-grade high-grade elixirs are entrusted to him for refining.
“After cultivating to this level, you will become the core and senior leader of the family.”
Now that the foundation building seeds of the Li family have reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, they will become the core members of the family without any accidents. Core senior level.
"Thank you, thirteenth great-grandfather." Li Qiuling saluted again after hearing this. After reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, he came to Li Qianqing to become the core member of the family.
Although he has learned alchemy from Li Qianqing over the years and has had some exposure to the core and high-level affairs of the family, this will never be the core.
Only by becoming a core member of the family can you gain more access to the core content of the family.
"Qiu Ling, are you interested in breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Refining before building a foundation?" Li Qianqing asked.
Li Qiuling has Fire Spirit Root, which is currently the family's only tenth-level qi refining technique. Only core high-level people with Fire Spirit Root can practice it. The first few people with dual Spirit Roots do not have Fire Spirit Root.
Compared with monks with more spiritual roots, monks with less spiritual roots have fewer choices of exercises.
Most of the techniques require designated spiritual roots before they can be practiced.
"The tenth level of Qi refining..."
Li Qiuling took a deep breath. So the family has the tenth level of Qi refining!
After nearly thirty years of cultivation, Li Qiuling has long been no longer a novice in cultivating immortals. He knows very well what the tenth level of Qi refining means.
In the entire Zhao Kingdom, except for the Zhao royal family, all other forces have the tenth level of Qi refining skills. Secretly, some forces may have it, but they are definitely very few, and their family actually belongs to this very small group of forces.
“After cultivating to the tenth level of Qi Refining, and with the help of a Foundation Establishment Pill, you have a greater chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, but it will take more time, so you can think about it carefully.” Li Qianqing was not in a hurry to ask Li Qiuling to make a decision. Whether or not to practice the tenth level of Qi refining mainly depends on Li Qiuling's own wishes.
Li Qiuling is not yet forty years old now. Even if the foundation building fails, there should be two or three opportunities to build the foundation again. After practicing the ten-level Qi refining technique, there will probably only be one chance to build the foundation after the failure. An opportunity to build another foundation.
"Thirteenth great-grandfather, I am willing to practice the ten-level Qi refining technique." Li Qiuling quickly replied.
Weighing the pros and cons is too simple. He is not sixty years old now, and when his qi and blood are about to decline, practicing the tenth level of qi refining will be of great benefit to him.
In addition to once again increasing the chance of breaking through the foundation building, there is also the practice of the tenth level of Qi refining. After entering the foundation building, you will be stronger than ordinary foundation building monks.
And at the stage of the tenth level of Qi refining, he can build the foundation at any time. Of course, there are techniques for the tenth level of Qi refining. It is naturally best to practice to the peak of the tenth level of Qi refining.
"Okay."
Li Qianqing entered the secret room in the cave and came out soon. When he came out, he had an extra jade slip in his hand.
“This is the tenth level of Qi refining technique. You should absorb it here.”
"Yes, thirteenth great-grandfather." Li Qiuling took the jade slip from Li Qianqing's hand and took a brief look at the technique.
The grass and trees are in flames!
This is a technique with the fire spirit root as the main component and the wood spirit root as the supplement.
The hard condition of the technique is to have fire spirit roots. Without wood spirit roots, it will be fine. However, if monks without wood spirit roots and those with wood spirit roots practice this technique, the cultivation speed of the two will be different. A relatively large gap.
Therefore, this technique is most suitable for cultivators with dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and he, Li Qiuling, is such a dual spiritual root cultivator.
"After practicing this technique, it has also been of great help to my alchemy skills." Li Qiuling's eyes lit up after reading the general introduction of the technique.
"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded. Li Qiuling understood well.
Under Li Qianqing’s gaze, Li Qiuling began to absorb the information about the exercises.
After Li Qiuling absorbed the jade slip with the skill "Grass and Trees Generate Flame", the jade slip became much darker.
The information in this jade slip can be absorbed three times in total.
After about an hour, Li Qiuling slowly opened his eyes. He had absorbed all the information about this technique.
The jade slip was handed back to the thirteenth great-grandfather. After a few final words from the elder, he resigned.
He now wants to go back and complete the transformation of the technique.
The exercises he practiced before were also of the fire attribute, and his spiritual power was converted into the "Grass and Tree Flame Jue", which is based on the fire spirit root and supplemented by the wood spirit root. The speed is relatively fast, and of course the fastest. Soon it will be transformed into a technique based on pure fire spirit roots.
The transformation of the exercises will take about four to five months to complete.
After the transformation is completed, he can try to break through the tenth level of Qi refining.
Breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level is difficult for a monk with three spiritual roots, but it is not that difficult for a monk with two spiritual roots like him.
Normally, he can successfully break through to the tenth level of Qi refining.
On the way back, Li Qiuling was already thinking about what would happen after he refined his Qi to the tenth level.
The Thirteenth Great-Grandfather had confessed that once he reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, he could not go out and could only stay in the Evergreen Mountains, and he should not come into contact with non-core high-level clan members.
This is nothing to Li Qiuling, he is not the eleventh uncle. (End of this chapter)
