Chapter 386: Let Li seek peace
Crescent County.
The ancestral land of the Shen family.
After receiving the news, Shen Xingyuan, the head of the Shen family, turned ugly.
The Li family in Xiangshui has a third alchemy monk. Calculating the time, it has not been twenty years since Li Xunming of the Li family succeeded in forming alchemy. Now it is not just as simple as having more alchemy monks, because this knot The Dan monk is Li Xunting.
Regarding Li Xunting's information, the Shen family had collected relatively complete information with the help of the An family.
At the late stage of foundation building, Li Xunting’s strength surpassed most of the fake elixir monks. Now that she has successfully formed an elixir, her strength must be extraordinary. It is said that the leader of the Li family, Li Qianqing, is also very powerful. , and it may be fake, but it must be true that Li Xunting's extraordinary strength is extraordinary.
Although the Li family has not taken the initiative to take action against them in these years, the situation is likely to change after Li Xunting formed the pill. The Li family, which has become more powerful, will have more power to deal with the Shen family.
"Alas, I haven't received any good news in the past few years." Shen Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
As a core formation force, the Shen family has learned that the Tianhe Sect must be cooperating with the Zhao royal family, but so far the Zhao royal family has no intention of ending. The Tianhe Sect is facing the siege of the three sects. , now it is a chronic death situation.
The only way to save Tianhe Sect is to bring about the fate of the Zhao royal family.
Shen Xingyuan personally feels that the possibility of the Zhao royal family ending is very small, so he has been preparing a way out for the family.
For the Shen family, after all, they are an affiliated alchemy force of Tianhe Sect. The best situation is naturally for the Zhao royal family to end up and reverse the current situation. When the Zhao royal family does not come to an end and the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, the Shen family will have to prepare more things if they want to continue to exist, and the Li family, which has now become the Sanjie Dan Immortal Cultivation Family, is a good candidate to start with. .
Thinking about the family's future, Shen Xingyuan felt much better. The Dan-forming Immortal Cultivation family was still able to prepare a future for their family, but it was difficult for the foundation-building forces affiliated with Tianhe Sect. They were not strong enough. They don't even have the capital to prepare a retreat. Once the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, they will be divided among the affiliated forces of the other three major sects.
“It’s time to meet the ancestor.”
After thinking about it, Shen Xingyuan left his residence and went to the cave where the ancestor of the Shen family lived.
He just received the news. Normally he would inform the ancestors. As the patriarch of the family, he is responsible for all matters of the family, big and small. The things he tells the ancestors are all big things. There is no need for the ancestors to listen to some small things, as the senior family members can handle them well.
As he knocked on the door, the stone door of the cave also opened.
Soon, Shen Xingyuan met the ancestor of the Shen family.
"Ancestor, the third alchemy monk from the Li family in Xiangshui is Li Xunting." Shen Xingyuan briefly talked about the situation. Although he said few words, the news was important enough.
Hearing this, the ancestor of the Shen family slowly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Three pill-forming powers within a hundred years, the Li family will probably not be on the same level as us in the future." The ancestor of the Shen family is referring to the eleven families in the Zhao Kingdom. If the current Dan-forming forces in their Zhao Kingdom are to be divided There are three levels, corresponding to one emperor, four sects and eleven families.
Shen Xingyuan couldn't help but said, "The Li family is about to rise."
When the Li family was still a foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family, it developed very quickly for a while, but the one who formed the core of them was In terms of power, it is not considered a rise. The rise that can be recognized by the Danjie forces only occurs when the family produces many Danjie monks in a short period of time.
The current Li family is obviously more in line. You must know that the Li family is still a newly promoted family of alchemy cultivators.
"Well, the Li family is about to rise, but the Zhao royal family will not let this happen." The situation of the Li family is the same as that of any of the other ten families.
The power of the Alchemy Jie Sect can be powerful, but the Zhao royal family absolutely does not want to see the rise of an Alchemy cultivating family, because in essence, the Zhao royal family is also an Alchemy cultivating family, and the other The rise of the Dan Xiuxian family is likely to threaten their status and may even replace them.
"Ancestor, based on the current situation, I think we should talk to the Li family to prepare a way out for the family." After a brief chat, Shen Xingyuan expressed his thoughts.
The ancestor of the Shen family did not immediately nod in agreement, but began to think.
When Shen Xingyuan saw this, he explained what he was thinking.
"The family's territory is adjacent to Weishui County. Originally, the Li family was our biggest threat. Now that the Li family has an alchemy monk, our situation is even more dangerous. Instead of doing this, we should have a good talk with the Li family and make appropriate concessions. If we can get some benefits, we can let them intervene in our Crescent County."
"According to the investigations over the years, the Li family is a family that attaches great importance to credibility. As long as the negotiation can be concluded, the Li family will definitely not regret it later. Our Shen family will be safer by then... The possibility of the fate of the Zhao royal family is really very small now. To be honest, ancestor, in my heart Tianhe Sect is already a Jiedan Sect that no longer exists..."
< br>Shen Xingyuan talked a lot, but the focus was still on the Li family.
The Li family's reputation in Xiangshui County plays a big factor in why he has his current thoughts.
If the Li family's reputation is average, even if they can negotiate, they will not feel at ease. In this way, they will have no idea of talk, and they might as well fight until the last minute.
After a long time, the ancestor of the Shen family nodded slowly.
"Well, you can talk to the Li family, and the possibility of the negotiation is not small. If the Li family is not stupid, they should know who is their biggest enemy now. They will use more in the future It would be beneficial for them to deal with the Zhao royal family."
"The ancestor is wise!" Shen Xingyuan couldn't help but say that as long as the ancestor agrees with his idea, he can let it go. Do.
"Now is not the time to talk to the Li family. It will take four or five years. If the Zhao royal family still does not come to an end within this period, there is really no possibility of it." In the heart of the ancestor of the Shen family, there is still a slight possibility of the fate of the Zhao royal family.
The risk of talking to the Li family later is smaller.
If the Zhao royal family ends just after they talk to the Li family, then the Shen family will be in a rather embarrassing position.
At that time, the Shen family must have regretted what they had negotiated with the Li family. According to their general understanding of the situation, the Li family has never been merciful to such a family that cultivates immortality.
If something like this really happens, the Shen family will have trouble before the Tianhe Sect has trouble.
"That's what the ancestor said." Shen Xingyuan thought for a while and nodded quickly.
Follow what the ancestor said and it will be more stable.
The situation in Zhao State is very chaotic now, and the more stable the decision-making is, the better.
Judging from the current situation, the Shen family has nothing to pursue. They only hope that the family can survive this chaos. For this reason, they can give up some of the family's interests in Crescent County. .
After talking to the ancestor, Shen Xingyuan was in a much better mood than before.
As he left, he couldn't help but think. 'Fortunately, our Shen family has not made enemies of the Alchemy Immortal Cultivation Family for hundreds of years, otherwise it would be really difficult to survive this crisis...'
Among the foundation-building forces, there are many who are dissatisfied with them, but this does not matter. The only ones who can eliminate the core-forming forces are basically the forces above the core-forming forces. As long as they negotiate with the Li family, other core-forming immortal cultivating families will treat them. The Shen family would have no idea. Even if the foundation-building forces asked them to deal with the Shen family, they would not take action.
After stabilizing the nearest Li family, which is also the most powerful Li family, the other Alchemy-forming Immortal-cultivating families will not take action against them. Attacking them will do more harm than good. Only the Alchemy-forming Immortal-cultivating family has enmity with them. Only then would he disregard all this and seek revenge directly.
When the harm outweighs the benefits, no sane Alchemy Immortal Cultivation Family will take action.
Thinking about this, Shen Xingyuan felt that the Shen family's luck was pretty good. When the Tian family and the An family were destroyed, they did not take action and have a head-on conflict with the Li family. Otherwise, it would be really bad now. manage.
Having never dealt with the Li family, the situation will be much better during negotiations.
‘The only problem now is that in the next few years, the Li family can remain as quiet as before and not make any moves. ’
It would be best for them if the Li family makes no moves in the next few years. If there is any move, their strategy is to start negotiations in advance and try to avoid conflicts with the Li family.
After something like this happens, it would be best if the negotiation can be delayed for a few years.
……
Huangmin County.
The news that Li Xunting of the Li family had successfully formed the elixir quickly reached here.
Before the Li family gave them a warning, they could get the news earlier. After withdrawing people, the speed at which they got specific information was much slower.
If it weren’t for the Zhao royal family not wanting to cause problems at this juncture, they would have ignored the Li family’s warning to them.
Because there is another alchemy monk in the Li family, half of the Zhao royal family’s senior officials attended this meeting. This meeting is already second only to the one held every thirty years.
The contents of this meeting are all related to the Li family of Xiangshui.
"The old guy in Feng Yongyu's family has less than thirty years of life left. There are no monks in the foundation-building period who can form elixirs. I thought that the three-formation elixir cultivation family would disappear for dozens or even hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, Xiang The Shuili family became a Sanjiedan cultivating family. "Who would have thought? If they didn't take action, their Sanjiedan could even last for three hundred years."
The more important reason why the Li family held this meeting is that the Li family has been an alchemy-cultivating family for less than a hundred years. For such an alchemy-cultivating family to be able to develop to this point, it must be lucky.
The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom believed in luck. They overthrew the previous royal family and founded the Zhao Kingdom to become the current royal family, which was inseparable from the family's luck. According to the legends of our ancestors, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom gave birth to three pill-forming pills within a hundred years, and three more pill-forming pills were born in the next hundred years. There were seven pill-forming monks in the family at the same time, surpassing any other force at that time.
Thousands of years have passed, and now the number of alchemy monks in the Zhao royal family has basically stabilized at between ten and twelve.
"This plan is perfect. The only flaw is the Li family. Now this flaw is magnified." It was Zhao Wuming who spoke.
In the family's plan, he plays a key role. After obtaining the alchemy spiritual object at the peak of foundation building, he became an alchemy monk. At the same time, he also became a real high-ranking member of the royal family. He was able to participate in such a level event. Meeting.
In Zhao Wuming's view, their plan for the Zhao royal family could be said to be very smooth, and then in their smooth plan, the Li family suddenly appeared more than ten years ago.
At that time, Li Xunming of the Li family completed the elixir formation, and then obtained a small spiritual vein land in Weishui County, which attracted their attention. Faced with the Xiangshui Li family in their plan They must feel uncomfortable if they make a profit.
But when the three sects besieged Tianhe Sect, their best approach was to remain silent. This was also the main reason why the Li family warned them a few years ago that they were willing to retreat.
"Li Qianqing really dares to bet that we don't dare to take action."
"I think it may be Qingfeng Valley who informed the head of the Li family about our cooperation, otherwise the Li family's approach would not be so radical."< br>
"Impossible! This will not bring any benefit to Qingfeng Valley, let alone the risk of the news being leaked. The Li family's territory borders the Tianhe Sect's influence. If I were the owner of Qingfeng Valley, , I will definitely be wary of the Li family, let alone tell them this key plan. I think the same as Wu Ming, the Li family made a bet, and they also made a right bet."
At that time, the Li family made a bet. By issuing a warning to their royal family, if they retreat, they are already telling the Li family that we will not take action when the three sects besiege Tianhe Sect.
As for how to deal with the Li family in the future.
There was a heated discussion among the senior officials of the Zhao royal family. Anyway, at this juncture, they could only allow the development of the Li family.
What they were discussing was how to suppress the Li family after the Tianhe Sect was destroyed, at least not to allow the Li family to produce any more Dan Jie monks.
You must know that in the past two thousand years of the Zhao Kingdom, apart from the Zhao royal family, there has never been a family of four-knot alchemy cultivators.
“After Tianhe Sect disappears, just attack them directly. I don’t think there is any reason. The only reason is that the Li family killed the Qi Refining monks we sent from Xiangshui County.”
"It is not good to take action directly. After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, it will take some time for our Zhao Kingdom's immortal world to stabilize. To deal with the Li family, we can only suppress them first. When we really take action, we need to push back."
"Don't take action? Why don't we wait for the Li family to have a Four-Jie Dan monk?"
"..."
Half an hour later, the result of the discussion was relatively conservative.
The conservatives are satisfied, but the radicals are a little unhappy.
"Wu Ming, when Tianhe Sect is destroyed, I need you to go to Qingfeng Valley. They will be needed to deal with the Li family. Qingfeng Valley must not want to affiliate with the Danjie forces and have the strength to surpass them." Zhao Longyin, who was at the peak of his pill formation, looked at Zhao Wuming.
He was deeply impressed by this, and he completed many tasks very well. This time, the task of persuading Qingfeng Valley to deal with the Li family was also given to him.
“Yes, ancestor.” Zhao Wuming nodded.
The fact that he was able to take on this task at the stage of forming pills was due to his ancestor’s trust in him.
He felt that he would be able to complete this task beautifully.
