Chapter 337 Twenty Years
October.
Three months have passed since Li Qiuben entered the foundation building period.
Not long after Li Qiuben succeeded in building the foundation, his family held a foundation building banquet for him. He has become the Li family of the alchemy cultivating family. Now, even if a foundation building monk appears every now and then in the family, he will not be powerful. Be surprised.
After all, the Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family and the Foundation-Building Immortal Cultivation Family are already different in nature.
There are very few casual cultivators in Xiangshui County who feel that the birth of another foundation-building period in the Li family is awesome. They think that this pair is a very normal thing, because Li Qiuben's success in foundation-building did not cause the same problems as the previous family foundation-building cultivators. There are too many discussions in the Xiangshui County cultivator community.
The immortal cultivating community in neighboring counties did not react much to the news.
At the lower level of the third level of Changqing Mountain, there are two figures standing at the spiritual field, namely Li Qianqing and Li Qiuben.
After entering the foundation building stage and practicing the "Su Cao Ling Jue" technique, Li Qiuben can now ripen the elixir.
There are still some monks throughout the Five Kingdoms who can ripen the elixir by practicing corresponding exercises in the foundation building stage, but there are not many in the elixir formation stage, because after such exercises ripen the elixir, It seriously affects the cultivation speed of cultivators. Those monks who will ripen the elixir during the alchemy stage all started to practice the corresponding skills during the alchemy stage. There are no such monks in the three small countries. They are all at the Nascent Soul level of the two major countries. in the forces.
"Please, how long will it take for you to ripen a Jiuquzhi tree alone?" Li Qianqing asked. The third-level low-grade elixir Jiuquzhi is the main elixir for refining the elixir Jiuqu Lingdan.
Jiuqu Lingdan is a third-level low-grade elixir. Its function is to increase the cultivation level of monks in the early stage of pill formation. It also has a good effect on monks in the middle stage of pill formation, but the effect is much weakened for monks in the late stage of pill formation. .
"It takes almost thirteen years to ripen a Jiuquzhi tree with all our strength." Li Qiuben did a little calculation based on his current situation.
The third-level low-grade Jiuqu Zhi takes three hundred and eighty-five years to grow normally until it can be harvested and used.
If Li Qianqing cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then by the time the Jiuquzhi is planted and used to refine the Jiuqu Spiritual Pill, his lifespan will also come to an end.
"But this is very wasteful. With my current ability, it will only take about thirty years to ripen ten Jiuqu Zhizhi plants before they can be matured and harvested." Li Qiuben did not recommend fully ripening a third-level low-grade spirit plant alone. medicine.
“I will need five Jiuquzhi plants in thirty years. You can allocate them appropriately for the ripening of the second-level elixir.” Li Qianqing explained.
Li Qiu now knows all about the second-level elixir refined by the family.
He knew that the elixir recipe was not about refining the elixir, but about planting and ripening the elixir in a reasonable manner. This should be considered in light of the situation of the family treasury.
If there are less second-level low-grade elixirs in the family library, the main elixir for refining such elixirs there will have a higher priority for ripening.
As for the ripening arrangements for the third-level elixir, Li Qianqing is currently mainly responsible for him.
"Okay, thirteen great-grandfather." Li Qiuben nodded, he will distribute it well.
Ripening elixirs have one disadvantage compared to normal growth elixirs. The potency of this type of elixir is not as good as that of normal growth, but Li Qiuben, who has a plant-like body, can make the potency of the ripening elixir similar to that of normal growth elixir.
Whether it is that the ripening elixir has basically no side effects on one's own practice, or the ripening elixir has few defects, these are the special physiques of the plant body, which become part of the advantages of the spiritual planter.
After chatting with Li Qiuben for two hours, when Li Qiuben began to take care of the spiritual medicine in the Lingtian, Li Qianqing returned to the cave.
Less than half a month later.
Li Qianqing in the cave began to retreat. This time he wanted to refine the third-level low-grade Jiuqu elixir.
When holding the Dan Dan Banquet, Yan Xuewei gave him a Jiuquzhi tree as a congratulatory gift. In the past few months, the family collected three Imperial Spirit Grasses to refine Jiuquzhi. All the elixirs of the elixir are available.
Yulingcao is a second-grade high-grade elixir, and it is also the highest-grade elixir among the twenty-one auxiliary elixirs for refining the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill.
It is very difficult for Li Qianqing to refine the elixir of Jiuqu elixir in one batch. It is generally very easy. If the conditions are right, he can refine it in two batches in one batch. , but now I only need one refining pill.
Moreover, the alchemy furnace also has limitations.
If you want to refine two parts into one furnace, it is best to use an alchemy furnace at the level of a first-order low-grade magic weapon. The alchemy furnace he is using now is still at the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon.
If you are an ordinary alchemist who is new to alchemy, if you don't have an alchemy furnace with a first-level low-level magic weapon, you really won't try to refine a third-level low-level elixir, because it is very wasteful.
A batch of nine-melody elixir can be refined into up to six.
The process of refining the Nine-Tune Spirit Pill is very easy, but Li Qianqing is still very careful. What he wants is six Nine-Tune Spirit Pill, not a useless pill.
Every time a useless elixir is refined, thousands of spiritual stones are lost. You must know that the worst third-level low-grade elixir is worth 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and an average-quality Jiuqu spiritual elixir is worth about 7,000. A thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stone would cost eight to nine thousand yuan if the quality was good.
The refining time of the third-level low-grade elixir is much longer than that of the normal second-level high-grade elixir. It took ten days for Li Qianqing to complete the refining. It took a month to refine the third furnace.
"Two pills are good, four pills are average."
Looking at the final result of his elixir, Li Qianqing was quite satisfied. His idea was that it would be best to refine six Jiuqu elixirs. On this basis, there is a high-quality Jiuqu elixir, but it can be refined like this using an alchemy furnace of the top-grade spiritual weapon level, which is already good.
There is no need to put these Jiuqu elixirs into the family treasury. The main reason is that apart from him, the Li family has no monks in the elixir-forming stage, so there is no need for third-level low-grade elixirs. Secondly, they can be refined. The main elixir of the Jiuqu elixir was not grown in the family's spiritual field, but was given to him as a congratulatory gift by Yan Xuewei.
Even if he puts the Jiuqu Spirit Pill into the family treasury, he can only put two at most, and these two pills will be redeemed by him, so there is no need to do this unnecessary action.
The elixir has been refined.
Li Qianqing came to the cave. After first removing the signs of retreat, he took the Jiuqu Lingdan and began to improve his cultivation.
After becoming an alchemy monk, the family’s middle finger training affairs changed again.
Currently, the normal monks with three spiritual roots in the family are trained by Li Lilong. He is only responsible for the monks with two spiritual roots and above, as well as other monks with special spiritual roots.
Currently, the only other monk with special spiritual roots in the Li family is Li Xunting. Li Qiuben himself has dual spiritual roots, which is considered an even more special monk.
In the past few years, no monk with dual spiritual roots has been born in the family. For Li Qianqing, the most important thing now, in addition to improving his cultivation strength, is to make an overall plan for the future development of the family.
Of course, every September, he also checks the newly born spiritual root monks in the family to see if there are any similar situations like Li Xunting. He also allows the newly born monks in the family to meet him, the patriarch of the family.
……Time flies.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Twenty years is a long time for a Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family, and a foundation-building immortal-cultivating family is fine, but for a pill-forming and immortal-cultivating family, twenty years can barely be described as short.
Ten years of qi refining, a hundred years of foundation building, and a thousand years of elixir formation are not used to describe monks, but to describe the corresponding forces.
For the Li family, in the past twenty years, the family has not given birth to a foundation-building monk, and the number of monks in the late-stage foundation-building period has dropped from one to two.
Six years ago, Li Xunming reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and then successfully broke through to the late stage of foundation building. For a monk with supernatural spiritual roots, as long as he practices normally and does not die in the process, he can basically reach the level of foundation building. Late basic stage.
Compared with Li Xunming who easily broke through to the late stage of foundation building, Li Qianyin who tried to break through to the late stage of foundation building a year ago failed. For a peak monk in the middle stage of foundation building, Li Qianyin is still very young, and there is still a good chance of breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.
In the patriarch’s cave, Li Qianqing ended his daily practice.
For him over the years, the greatest level has been in cultivation, and in terms of true strength, since the first of the "Three Gods of Destruction" is still far away from Xiaocheng, So in terms of real strength, he is still about the same as before.
When the first of the "Three God-Destroying Techniques" has reached a small level of cultivation, his true strength will be greatly improved.
A piece of natal magic weapon. He has been collecting materials for these years. He has collected more than half of it now. Normally, he can start refining the natal magic weapon in less than ten years.
This speed is already very fast. You must know that the materials required for his natal magic weapon are relatively scarce. In his previous life, his natal magic weapon was very ordinary, and it took more than fifty years to collect the materials and refine it.
After entering the Danjie stage, he was no longer a casual cultivator in his previous life, but an elder from a Danjie sect in the Ming Dynasty. He needs to collect the materials for refining the magic weapon. The sect can give him some help, but not much. Now if Li Qianqing wants to, he can use the power of his family to help him collect the materials corresponding to the magic weapon.
After leaving the cave, Li Qianqing needed to cultivate the dual spiritual root monks in his family.
Now the number of mortals in the Li family has exceeded one million. In the past ten years, many monks have been born in the family. There are five monks with double spiritual roots alone, and even more monks with three spiritual roots. .
This is due to the growth of the family's mortal population from the first twenty to the first ten years. Now the family's population is also growing, but it has become stable. If we talk about the top foundation-building and immortal cultivating families, there are almost twenty A child with dual spiritual roots can be born in a year, which is almost ten years for an ordinary alchemy cultivating family.
Of course, this is just a relatively average standard, and the specific situation still depends on the actual situation.
With the increase in family foundation building seeds, it would be difficult to guarantee the power of a family that would normally become a pill-forming immortal cultivator soon. However, the Li family is different. Not only is the family patriarch the alchemist; Li Qiuben, who has a plant body and has entered the foundation building stage.
The main elixir for refining the foundation-building pill is grown in the second-level high-grade spiritual field. Under Li Qiuben's ripening, it will normally be available for more than ten years. Other auxiliary elixirs can be purchased or planted depending on the situation. In this way Every ten years or so, the Li family would refine two or three furnaces of foundation-building elixirs.
If you go all out to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and don’t take care of the third-level elixir, there will only be more furnaces.
In this regard, Li Qianqing assigned Li Qiuben very well. In another twenty or thirty years, the Li family can sell the Foundation Building Pill if they want. However, selling the Foundation Establishment Pill may be risky, causing Li Qiuben's special physique to be discovered.
When he was still a monk in the pill-building stage, Li Qianqing would not let his family sell any foundation-building pills, so that he could develop more stably.
…
March in spring.
The foot of Evergreen Mountain seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of peach blossom mist. Under the shadow of the trees, a small cabin stood quietly on the mountainside, gathering the spiritual energy from the outside world.
“I succeeded!”
Li Changgui was very excited when he saw the first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array he had arranged, gathering spiritual energy.
He is the eldest monk of the fifteenth generation of the Li family. Four years ago, he was tested to have the dual spiritual roots of gold and earth, which is a perfect seed for building the foundation of the family.
For the current Li family, if the family foundation-building seeds have not been successfully built, they will not be able to become the core and senior leaders of the family.
"Tell the clan leader this good news, he will be very happy." The first-level low-grade miniature spirit gathering array was successfully deployed. It did not take long and only consumed three minutes of the materials to deploy the spirit array. Li Changgui understood I have a very good talent in formation.
Clan leader Li Qianqing mentioned when he was talking about training that the clansmen who lacked the formation method now can use the formation method if they are talented in that area.
After the three-year period ends, clan members who are interested in Formation One will need to take two preliminary tests. After passing the test, it will be shown that they have talent in Formation One, but the specific amount of talent will depend on actual practice.
After setting up the spirit gathering array in seclusion, Li Changgui left his hut.
When I went out and looked into the distance, I saw that the spiritual flowers in the mountains seemed to know that something happy was coming, and they bloomed one after another to celebrate warmly.
The beautiful scenery that he usually doesn’t pay much attention to at this moment, in Li Changgui’s view, is just to celebrate his good talent in the formation. At this moment, he is in a better mood.
“People feel refreshed when happy events happen.”
After smiling happily, Li Changgui immediately went to the clan leader's cave.
Because it is a foundation-building seed, the small house he lives in is full of spiritual energy and is not particularly far from the clan leader's cave. Nowadays, the tribesmen with mixed spiritual root talents basically live at the foot of Evergreen Mountain.
Today at the foot of Evergreen Mountain, the concentration of spiritual energy is much more abundant than in a normal place with a miniature spiritual vein.
At the door of the patriarch's cave, Li Changgui took a deep breath, adjusted his current mood, and then knocked on the stone door.
Soon the stone door of the cave opened.
"Clan leader." After meeting Li Qianqing, Li Changgui spoke and performed a basic etiquette at the same time.
"It's Changgui, you can just call me your great-great-grandfather in private." Li Qianqing smiled at the younger generation, and then continued, "Tell me, what happened?"
Now he is the only male monk who is a senior member of the Li family, and there are three female monks. Except for Li Qianyin, the remaining two are over one hundred and ten years old, and the other is almost one hundred and ten years old.
In ten years at most, there will only be two senior monks left in the Li family.
For the current generation of the Li family, the number thirteen before him is no longer important.
