Xiangshui County.
Evergreen Mountain.
After the four sect trials were over, Li Xunting, who was halfway on the spiritual boat, said goodbye to Yan Xuewei and returned to her ancestral home, Changqing Mountain.
"Grandpa Thirteen, this time Tianhe Sect's performance in the Four Sects Trial..."
After Li Xunting saw Li Qianqing, she couldn't wait to observe the relevant information in the Four Sects Trial. All the information about Tianhe Sect was told to Li Qianqing.
The focus of the explanation is the performance of the Tianhe Sect monks, and some performances of the Tianhe Sect's supreme elders. However, the observation of the latter is more difficult, and there is not much that can be said.
Copyright monks like the Supreme Elder of Tianhe Sect are the decision-makers of Tianhe Sect, and every move they make is important information.
In this four-sect trial, Tianhe Sect invited a lot of foreign aid from the affiliated forces, almost reaching the upper limit of foreign aid, but it still came in last place. This shows that today's Tianhe Sect , there are really not many outstanding foundation-building elders.
Originally, there were two very good ones, but it was a pity that they died while out training.
"Tianhe Sect behaved like this in the four sect trials. In addition to its own strength factors, it may also be influenced by the Zhao royal family..." After listening to the information provided by Li Xunting, combined with the previous After Li Qianqing collected all the information, he had some ideas.
Li Xunting quickly thought of something after hearing this, "Grandpa Thirteen, you mean that the Tianhe Sect and the elders who participated in the Four Sects Trial were bribed by the Zhao royal family? Only then did they allow them to participate in the Four Sects Trial at the end. "One person."
"It's possible, but it's unlikely. It's probably 10%." This is just some of his speculations.
The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom should really hope that Tianhe Sect will get the last place in this trial of the four sects, so that Tianhe Sect will have a greater chance of cooperating with them.
The overall strength of Tianhe Sect participating in the trial this time is like this. Even if there is no intervention, there is a high possibility that they will be last. If this thing is discovered, the gain will outweigh the loss.
So Li Qianqing believed that the Zhao royal family might have some action in this, but the possibilities were limited.
"That's it... Hey, Grandpa Thirteen, do you think it's possible that the two elders of the Tianhe Sect died when they went out to practice, or that the Zhao royal family was behind it?" After listening to Li Qianqing's words, Li Xunting thought of it. These.
Li Xunting’s words made Li Qianqing fall into deep thought.
Seeing Grandpa Thirteen like this, she sat aside obediently without saying a word, waiting for Grandpa Thirteen to think of what to say.
"If this is really the case, the Tianhe Sect has been deeply penetrated by the Zhao royal family..." The so-called authorities are blind to the outside world. Assuming that this possibility exists, the Zhao royal family wants to thoroughly understand the Tianhe Sect. In the end, Tianhe Sect will have to agree to the cooperation of the Zhao royal family.
“... Qingfeng Valley also achieved first place in the four sect trials this time, which will make the decision-makers of Tianhe Sect even more unbalanced, and also increase the possibility of Tianhe Sect taking action. "Li Qianqing kept talking and returned to the situation of the Four Sects Trial and the Tianhe Sect.
Among the four major sects in the Zhao Kingdom, Tianhe Sect and Qingfeng Valley have the deepest conflict.
Seeing that the opponent will get the best resources in the next hundred years, while you will get the worst resources, this imbalance will intensify the Tianhe Sect's fall to the Zhao royal family.
Half an hour later, the two analyzed various possibilities about Tianhe Sect. After chatting for a while, Li Xunting also talked about something that happened to her during this four-sect trial.
This matter was naturally Zuoqiu Lipeng expressing his feelings to her.
Li Xunting told Li Qianqing the whole process.
"You little girl, you asked him to challenge Grandpa Thirteen." After listening to Li Xunting's narration, Li Qianqing knew that she had no intention of doing so, otherwise she would not move him out later. He had no similar agreement with his eldest granddaughter. .
Now even if he does not use any spiritual knowledge and secret techniques, the strength he can show is stronger than many monks in the middle stage of pill formation, and Zuoqiu Lipeng basically has no chance of defeating him.
You know, as time goes by, he will continue to get stronger.
However, if this senior elder of Qingfeng Valley could say this later, he, like Li Xunting, also looked at him highly.
“I just wanted to cut off his thoughts, who knew he would be more interested in me.”
"Hahaha, if you can successfully form the elixir in the future, even if he does not enter the elixir-forming stage, I will give him a chance to challenge me."
"Grandpa Thirteen, you are bullying the small. "
"There are also people in this world who can defeat the early stage of foundation building in the late stage of foundation building. He can get first place in the fourth round, which shows that he is really capable. After he reaches the peak of foundation building, there will definitely be someone in the world of immortal cultivation in Zhao country. He has a place."
Li Qianqing defended, but he also made sense.
“We still need to wait for you to improve your cultivation. If you can obtain a suitable first-level low-grade magic weapon, you will have the strength to compete with the monks in the early stage of pill formation.”
A first-level low-grade magic weapon suitable for use by the Ice Spirit Body. After cultivating the monks with the Ice Spirit Body to the peak of foundation building, they can basically exert 80% to 90% of the power. This type of magic weapon is relatively powerful, and the power of 89% is enough to compete with it. Ordinary magic weapon.
It is already very good for a normal peak-level foundation-building monk to be able to exert 30% of the power of a first-level low-grade magic weapon.
"Grandpa Thirteen is right." Li Xunting thought for a while, then nodded, and then shook her head.
It is indeed what Grandpa Thirteen said. Some late-stage foundation-building monks have a showdown with early-stage pill-forming monks, but the latter must be ordinary early-stage pill-forming monks.
Her thirteenth grandfather is not ordinary.
So there is still no comparison.
Looking at Li Xunting, Li Qianqing didn’t dwell too much on this issue.
Zuoqiu Lipeng of Qingfeng Valley, let’s cultivate to the Dan Formation stage first. If he really succeeds in forming the Pill Formation in the future, he may have broken through to the middle stage of the Formation of the Pill Formation by then.
There is another gap between the middle stage of pill formation and the early stage of pill formation.
Currently Zuoqiu Lipeng has a good impression on Li Qianqing, partly because of Li Xunting and also because of Yan Xuewei.
Yan Xuewei did not prevent this matter from happening, which shows that Zuoqiu Lipeng's performance in Qingfeng Valley must be good.
But just as he thought, let’s wait until Zuoqiu Lipeng forms the elixir.
After talking about all the experiences and observations of the four trials, Li Qianqing and Li Xunting, their grandfather and grandson, chatted about daily topics.
At dusk, Li Xunting saw that the time was almost up and said goodbye to Li Qianqing. After that, she would return to Wutong County Changlin Mountain to continue guarding. This was one of the current affairs.
After Li Xunting left, Li Qianqing began to think about the Li family's next strategy.
Four sects failed in the trials and allowed their opponents to take first place. Such a Tianhe sect had to be on guard.
Li Qianqing didn’t know whether Tianhe Sect existed when he destroyed Qingfeng Valley in his previous life, but what he can guarantee is that the Zhao royal family still existed. If the Zhao royal family no longer existed, the name of the country at that time should have changed. or be divided between Lu and Yue.
The overall stability of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Zhao Kingdom was created by the four major sects and the Zhao royal family. If this greatest balance is broken, the Tian family and the An family in Weishui County, the two foundation-building Immortal Cultivation families, will have a plan to attack them. The possibility of the Li family taking action. Of course, the most likely possibility is the Shen family in Crescent County.
Crescent County is adjacent to Weishui County and is a core county within the influence of Tianhe Sect. When he was still a foundation-building monk, Li Qianqing went to Crescent County to participate in foundation-building. A trade fair held by the Immortal Cultivation Family, the Su Family. At that time, the Su Family was still the strongest foundation-building Immortal Cultivation Family in the county.
As an alchemy cultivating family in Crescent County, the Shen family has a very good relationship with the Tianhe Sect. After getting more information, the Li family knew that the Shen family was the best among the alchemy cultivating families affiliated with the Tianhe Sect.
If Tianhe Sect really makes big moves, the Li family will probably face the Shen family.
According to Li Qianqing’s estimate, this possibility is at least 60%.
"The foundation-building monks guarding Wutong County remain unchanged. They cannot be reduced or even increased..."
The Li family, which is already an alchemy cultivating family, is on the other side of Wutong County. In fact, there is no need to guard the foundation building period for too long. Li Qianqing originally had the idea of transferring the foundation building monks back, but now this idea is completely gone.
Wutong County serves as a buffer zone, and Xiangshui County is still the base camp of their Li family. Normally, Xiangshui County will basically not fall into turmoil when the situation changes.
In the past few years, the family will collect more information so that they can see the situation more clearly.
......
It has been more than half a month since the end of the four trials.
The three supreme elders and the sect master of Tianhe Sect all appeared in an attic. Now there are all the monks of Tianhe Sect at the elixir level.
Originally, this meeting was to be held after the four sect trials were over, but because a supreme elder was in retreat, the time was postponed.
“I didn’t expect that just after I came out of seclusion, I received the bad news that we were in last place in the four trials.”
“We were not only last, Qingfeng Valley also won first place. "
As soon as these words came out, the four alchemy monks on the field were silent for a while.
When the leader of Tianhe Sect was about to say something to break the calm, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in."
"Sect Master, as well as all the Supreme Elders, Zhao Wuming, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, would like to see you."
"When they arrive, please choose a time for him to come up." Tianhe The sect leader replied.
“Yes, sect leader.”
The foundation-building elder of Tianhe Sect retreated, and not long after, Zhao Wuming appeared in front of them. The Zhao royal family who came to Tianhe Sect last time The monk is still Zhao Wenjin. If the Four Sect Trials had taken place a few years earlier, he might have been the Zhao royal monk who came to Tianhe Sect again.
"Hello, seniors." Zhao Wuming came in with a smile on his face. He was a little surprised that all Tianhe Sect's alchemy monks were there. Normally when their royal family came, they would see at most one Tianhe Sect leader and one supreme elder. .
Zhao Wuming knew clearly that they were definitely not waiting for him on purpose.
"It seems that the junior has arrived at just the right time." Although he was surprised, it did not affect the smile on Zhao Wuming's face at all.
“Now is a bad time.” The leader of Tianhe Sect snorted coldly, his gaze resting on Zhao Wuming’s smiling face, “The royal family is so impatient to send you here because they want to see our Tianhe Sect. A joke?"
"The sect master misunderstood, our royal family did not mean this, and I, the junior, did not have this idea." Zhao Wuming was not frightened by the attitude of the sect master of Tianhe Sect. He would be frightened if he was like this. Otherwise, the Zhao royal family would not send him here. At this moment, he explained in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "Come here earlier, maybe we can reach cooperation earlier, so that the interests of your sect can be maximized."
The four trials are over and the benefits have been completely distributed.
The Tianhe Sect can get the least. If the time drags on for a long time, it will be regarded as a loss to the Tianhe Sect. According to Zhao Wuming's meaning, it makes sense.
"Your royal family must think that our Tianhe Sect will cooperate with you?" Faced with Zhao Wuming's explanation, the leader of the Tianhe Sect did not continue to put pressure, but asked this question.
"I believe that the sect master and the seniors can make the right decision after thinking about it." Zhao Wuming did not answer this question directly, but his meaning was relatively clear.
Given the current situation of Tianhe Sect, there are two paths between cooperation and non-cooperation. The former has high risks but also high benefits, while the latter has basically no risks and no benefits.
If Tianhe Sect is still last among the four sects in the next trial, that may be the beginning of Tianhe Sect's real decline.
The situation before us is already showing signs of weakness. If Tianhe Sect wants to turn the tide, it must achieve better results in the next four trials.
The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom did not want to see this situation arise, so they could use some sneaky means to push Tianhe Sect towards them. For the Zhao royal family, this matter can be taken slowly and not in a hurry. They do not need to reallocate some resources every hundred years like the four major sects.
“We can cooperate. Now the Qingfeng Valley territory will belong to our Tianhe Sect from now on.”
The Qingfeng Valley territory mentioned by the leader of the Tianhe Sect is not the seat of the Qingfeng Valley Sect. A place thousands of miles away, but the area of influence of Qingfeng Valley.
Compared with the profit distribution more than 20 years ago, the leader of Tianhe Sect has made some concessions. Before, he wanted more things.
After the failure of the Four Sects Trial, he had to make some concessions. If the Four Sects Trial achieved good results this time, then the Zhao royal family would like to seek cooperation, and he would only want more. .
And it is basically impossible for the Zhao royal family to agree to what he wants. If they agree, it will be very problematic.
If there is too much profit, there will be problems in the cooperation itself.
"Our royal family cannot agree to this condition. At most half of Qingfeng Valley's territory is the most we can give." Zhao Wuming made it clear.
Let him come over. The royal family's request must not be compromised. Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry for them.
It is not an easy task to change the power structure and profit from it. Things like this need to be done slowly and not in a hurry.
"It seems that your royal family has no sincerity at all."
"No." Zhao Wuming shook his head, "We are fully sincere."
The entire Zhao Kingdom , their royal family is the most powerful alchemy force, and if Tianhe Sect wants to compete with them, it will take at least three Tianhe Sects.
In terms of strength comparison, Tianhe Sect is weak in front of the Zhao royal family.
When the leader of the Tianhe Sect wanted to say something else, the Supreme Elder Yan Yunxian said to Zhao Wuming.
"You go out first, we need time to discuss." (End of Chapter)
