Chapter 334 Upgrading and Development
Less than three days have passed.
The news that Li Qianqing of the Li family succeeded in forming an elixir and that the Li family became an elixir-forming and immortal family has spread throughout Xiangshui County.
Originally, the Li family was the overlord of Xiangshui County. Now that the Li family has made a further leap in strength, the next step is to completely control Xiangshui County.
Just like there cannot be an independent foundation-building force within the Qingfeng Valley's sphere of influence, there cannot be any independent force in the entire Xiangshui County in the future.
The Danjie Sect also has affiliated forces at the Qi Refining level, but there are not many of them, and these forces are all within a thousand miles of the sect's territory. The only ones thousands of miles away are the affiliated forces at the Foundation Building level.
As for the situation of the Pill-forming Immortal-cultivating family, if the Pill-forming Immortal-cultivating family is in a small county, then this small county is completely controlled by this Pill-forming Immortal-cultivating family. The medium-sized County Forming Pill-cultivating family also has Opportunity control, but it is very difficult. If you want to completely control a large county, currently in the Zhao Kingdom, only the Zhao royal family has such ability.
Huangmin County is one of the seven major counties of the Zhao Kingdom and is also the location of the Zhao Kingdom’s Imperial City. This place is completely controlled by the Zhao Kingdom’s royal family. None of the four major sects have any influence here. As for the other The influence of the royal family in the county and Zhao Kingdom varies, depending on the actual situation of the county.
Now in Xiangshui County where the Li family is located, after the Li family became a family of immortal cultivators, the influence of the Zhao royal family here has been further weakened and has become minimal, while Shangzong Qingfeng Valley actually The influence is no longer great. The actual changes can be seen from the fact that the manager of Xiu Shifang City in Tongyang County has been replaced.
When it was spread that the Li family became a family of alchemy cultivators, all the monks in Xiangshui County were discussing this topic.
"The Li family has completely risen! I knew from the beginning that the current patriarch of the Li family is extraordinary."
"Originally, there were not many robbery cultivators in our Xiangshui County under the management of the Li family. These should be more Less."
"There are tribulation cultivators everywhere. Even if it is very safe now, you still have to be careful when you go out. But as long as you are in Monk Square City, let alone tribulation cultivators, you will have some temper. Great monks, you should also control your temper..."
"The Li family has become an alchemy cultivating family. We should have more business forces from other counties coming here. When the time comes, you can buy what you want. It’s easier.”
“What can’t you buy with spiritual stones?”
"That's true, but I want to buy it more safely. Before I warm it up, it goes into other people's pockets."
When most monks heard the news, they felt is good news.
Under the control of the Li family, Xiangshui County has become more prosperous and safer, and they are all direct or indirect beneficiaries.
There are still a small number of monks. The strength of the Li family is not good for them. Naturally, they do not want to see the strength of the Li family.
There are also some casual cultivators among these monks, but most of them are independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families that have not become affiliated forces of the Li family.
Many independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families are holding family meetings these days.
The main thing is to discuss what to do afterward.
“I said at the beginning that becoming an affiliated force of the Li family, although the family will develop very slowly, will be safer. Now it’s better. The leader of the Li family has successfully formed a pill. Now our family has There is no need to develop.”
They, monks from independent Qi-refining and immortal families, know very well what the Li family will do next.
The Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family wants more spiritual veins. Although the Li family currently has a lot of spiritual veins, they are still far behind the normal Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family. At present, the independent family in Xiangshui County There are not many Qi refining forces, so even if the Li family's spiritual place is far away from them, they will definitely be chosen.
If they were affiliated forces of the Li family before, given the distance between them and the spiritual veins of the Li family, even if the Li family wanted the spiritual veins of the affiliated forces, it would be difficult to choose them. To take a step back, even if they were really chosen. , with the way the Li family handles things, they will also be given a good arrangement.
Now that they are not an affiliated force of the Li family, no matter how good the Li family's reputation is, they will only buy spiritual veins for them at a relatively fair price.
"It seems useless to say anything now. We should be lucky that it is the Li family. At least they will give us a large sum of spiritual stones. The foundation building power of the neighboring counties is somewhat behind the Li family. Now the Li family is already a core-building force, and it is not on the same level as the foundation-building force.”
“I think it’s all the Li family that caused us to be like this. If it weren’t for the way the Li family handles things, we wouldn’t be here either. Bet that they will not become a clan of immortal cultivators... That's right! Maybe this is a strategy of the Li family..."
The more he spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense.
However, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Strategy? Does the Li family know that they will definitely become a family of alchemy cultivators? Seventh brother, please be clear-headed and don't have such unrealistic ideas. The Li family is good to us Qi refining forces, then They have some tolerance."
"Are you a monk from our Gong family or a monk from the Li family? Do you speak for them like this?"
"I'm just stating a fact. ”
“You...”
"Okay, stop arguing!" After the head of the Gong family spoke, the hall suddenly became quiet.
All the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining in the family stopped talking. When making decisions before, the head of the Gong family thought about facing such a problem, but he felt that it was unlikely that such a thing would happen. He didn’t think it would happen. Li Xunming, a monk from the Li family with supernatural spiritual roots, is able to form elixirs.
As a result, the head of the Li family, Li Qianqing, has formed an elixir now. He seems to be a monk with three spiritual roots...
In Xiangshui County, which is still an independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family, at the Gong family meeting, Talk about some of the Li family’s decisions.
When the Li family becomes the top foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family, they can actually make all the Qi-refining forces in Xiangshui County become their affiliated forces. This way, they can earn more every year and get better at the same time. Take control of Xiangshui County.
At the core high-level meeting of the Li family, many senior members of the family wanted to take over these Qi refining forces first, but they were rejected by Li Qianqing.
One of the reasons for his rejection was that it was not in line with the Li family's style, but it was actually harmless. The most important reason was that he knew that he could successfully form pills, so that he could win over these independent Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families in the future. When the time comes, you only need to give spiritual stones, and there is no need to make too many arrangements.
If the family affiliated forces want the land of spiritual veins, they must arrange it. This is more troublesome for the current Li family.
And there is a big difference between these Qi refining forces actively becoming their affiliated forces and passively becoming their affiliated forces.
You must know that among all the affiliated forces of the Li family, some hope that the Li family will value their family's spiritual lineage, so that the Li family will make arrangements for their family, and it will develop better in the future.
These family ideas are almost impossible to see in the Qi Refining family that is forced to become a subsidiary force of their family.
In addition to the family patriarch, most of the family's senior leaders must agree with these ideas before such a possibility can occur.
……
Half a month has passed since Li Qianqing took the elixir. Duan Rongrong has already arrived at Changqing Mountain first.
In the past half month, five miniature spiritual veins have migrated through Evergreen Mountain.
When the first micro spiritual vein was migrated, the reaction between this micro spiritual vein and the original nine micro spiritual veins in Evergreen Mountain began the unique fusion of the spiritual veins and turned into one small spiritual vein.
After the ten micro spiritual veins were fused into small spiritual veins, the overall spiritual energy doubled. Then the addition of four micro spiritual veins, under the influence of the small spiritual veins, more spiritual energy was born. .
Now the actual boundaries of Evergreen Mountain have expanded a lot outwards. Places that could not open spiritual fields before can now open first-order low-grade and medium-grade spiritual fields. At the outermost edge, only one can be opened. The next level is the spiritual field.
“Rong Rong.”
When Duan Rongrong came, Li Qianqing went to receive her in person.
Other core senior executives of the Li family were not familiar with Duan Rongrong, and the content of their conversations were more serious, so it was better for him to receive them in person.
"Qianqing, congratulations on the successful formation of the elixir!"
"Rongrong is the only one among the three of us who has not formed the elixir. I hope you can also successfully form the elixir." Li Qianqing first said A blessing.
Duan Rongrong is currently in the late stage of foundation building, and is still some distance away from the peak of foundation building.
"My talent is not as good as Sister Xuewei." Duan Rongrong also wanted to form an elixir so that she would have more time to explore the formation, but she understood that it was difficult to form an elixir.
If you only count the spiritual root talent, she has a very ordinary dual spiritual root talent.
At present, among the five pill-forming monks in Qingfeng Valley, there is one with Tianlinggen, three with Foreign Spirituality, and the remaining one has dual-spiritual roots. Yes, but he is among the top batch among those with dual-spiritual roots. , this also puts some distance between ordinary dual spiritual root monks.
“But it’s better than me.” Li Qianqing added.
He is considered to be the top talent with three spiritual roots, but even so, it is not as good as the lowest talent with two spiritual roots. There is still a lot of gap between the two.
"Hehe, that's right." Duan Rongrong nodded. She naturally knew that Li Qianqing was gifted with three spiritual roots, but she was very surprised when she heard from Yan Xuewei that Li Qianqing had successfully formed the pill.
Different from Yan Xuewei, she does not think that Li Qianqing can successfully form the elixir. Even if he gets the chance, he will practice to the peak of foundation building relatively quickly. Finally, it will be good to have a fake elixir realm. It is too difficult to successfully form an elixir.
For monks with three spiritual roots, even if they obtain a pill-forming spiritual object, the success rate of forming the pill is not very high. The greater possibility is that the pill-forming will fail.
The two chatted and soon arrived at Li Qianqing’s cave.
Duan Rongrong's first thought when she came to Changqing Mountain was not to adjust her spiritual veins, but to upgrade the spirit gathering array in Li Qianqing's cave.
She felt that this was very necessary for a monk in the alchemy stage.
"...I will upgrade your spirit gathering array to the third level low-grade first." With Duan Rongrong's current level, it is not difficult to set up a third-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array, but it is not difficult to arrange the second-order mid-grade It is easier to upgrade the spirit gathering array to the third level low-grade.
After all, this is just a miniature spiritual formation, suitable for personal use. It requires few lines to be painted and carved, and the structure is not complicated.
"What materials are needed?" Li Qianqing asked.
“No need.” Duan Rongrong shook her head, “I’m ready. I’ll just pay the spirit stones when the time comes.”
Before coming to Evergreen Mountain, Duan Rongrong had already made preparations. In addition to adjusting the spiritual veins, she also wanted to upgrade the spirit gathering array in Li Qianqing's cave. As for the mountain protection array in Evergreen Mountain, this could only wait until Let’s talk about it later.
With the current scope of Evergreen Mountain, it is best to deploy a large spiritual array, as it is difficult for medium-sized spiritual arrays to provide comprehensive coverage.
And now she is only sure of setting up a second-order high-grade large-scale spiritual formation, but she is not very sure about setting up a third-order low-grade large-scale spiritual formation.
Normal forces in the Core Formation stage hope to deploy third-level spiritual formations. The second-level high-grade large spiritual formations are supported by small spiritual veins and spiritual energy below. They can withstand the attacks of the monks in the Core Formation stage. The time is correct, but the third-level spiritual formation has undergone qualitative changes. At that time, it would be difficult for a few more monks in the alchemy stage to break through the spiritual vein land with the third-level spiritual formation.
Soon Duan Rongrong began to upgrade the spirit gathering array for him.
Li Qianqing watched quietly from the side.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was when the Li family would produce a member with a talent for formations. This was something he would think about every time he saw Duan Rongrong, especially when he saw Duan Rongrong setting up the spiritual formation. time, this feeling becomes stronger.
This kind of thing is not something that comes to mind, but he still hopes that such a monk will appear in the Li family soon.
After he entered the pill formation stage, the fertility policy of the mortal tribe changed.
It is normal for even the most ordinary alchemy cultivating family to have millions of mortals.
If nothing else goes wrong, the family will have tens of thousands more mortals in a year, and the number of mortals will also increase by tens of thousands in the next few years. The growth rate will not slow down until there are millions of clansmen.
In another ten years, the number of monks in the Li family will increase rapidly.
The more monks there are, the higher the probability of someone with talent. If possible, Li Qianqing hopes that within twenty years, the Li family will have a talent for formation.
Duan Rongrong spent more than a day upgrading the spirit gathering array in Li Qianqing's cave to the third level.
After the adjustment of the spiritual veins was completed, with the spirit gathering array fully activated, the concentration of spiritual energy in his practice room was enough for the daily practice of the early Yuanying monks. Normally, without activating the spirit array, The concentration of spiritual energy in his cave is enough for the daily cultivation of monks in the middle stage of pill formation.
"The next step is to adjust the spiritual vein nodes." Duan Rongrong nodded with satisfaction at the efficiency of his upgrade of the spirit gathering array, then looked at Li Qianqing and asked, "How many third-level spiritual fields need to be opened?"
Owned After developing small spiritual veins, you can open third-order low-grade and mid-grade spiritual fields. If you want to open third-order high-grade spiritual fields, it is best to have two small spiritual veins.
"Eight points of the third-level low-level spiritual field will be opened, and two points of the third-level mid-level spiritual field will be enough." Li Qianqing quickly answered that this was something he had already thought about.
Currently, Evergreen Mountain has one small spiritual vein and four micro spiritual veins. According to him, a third-level spiritual field will be opened, so that the second-level spiritual field can also be increased a lot, so that there will be more spiritual fields in the family library in the future. There are also more second-level elixirs, and it is easier to cultivate foundation-level monks.
