As for Qingfeng Valley helping their Li family develop, it is almost impossible, unless he, Li Qianqing, can bribe all the alchemy monks in Qingfeng Valley.
The Alchemy Formation Sect is very large. In addition to external conflicts, the internal conflicts are much greater than those of a normal Alchemy Formation Cultivation Family.
Qingfeng Valley does not make any intervention in the development of their Li family, which is the best result.
This result can only be achieved after Yan Xuewei becomes the master of Qingfeng Valley.
"If this matter can be negotiated, what the senior said is not impossible." Shen Zhongtian thought for a while and decided to be sincere. "But the help we give can only be in the dark and cannot be done openly. I hope seniors can understand."
"It's good to have secret help." Li Qianqing nodded, and was quite satisfied with Shen Zhongtian's answer, "Tell me, if we don't take action, what are the conditions you offer?"
Since the other party chooses to follow He was more sincere, and he also chose to be more sincere, instead of asking for high prices, he let the other party speak and see what the Shen family could give them to the Li family.
The price offered by the other party is not too low. Under the current situation, Li Qianqing can accept it.
As Shen Zhongtian said, after the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, the Zhao royal family should put a lot of pressure on their Li family, so the Li family doesn’t really want to continue to consume the Shen family. If It is undoubtedly the best if the Shen family can take the initiative to offer good conditions and avoid direct conflict between the two families.
Shen Zhongtian took out a map.
This is a map of Crescent County. Crescent County is a large county, and its total area is larger than Xiangshui County, Wutong County, and Weishui County combined.
As the oldest alchemy cultivating family in Crescent County, the Shen family’s influence occupies most of Crescent County. In addition to the family’s ancestral land, it owns a total of eleven spiritual vein lands. These spiritual vein lands Among them, there are three spiritual vein lands above three micro spiritual veins.
"Senior, what our Shen family can give us is Qilong Peak and the spiritual vein places on the left and right sides." Shen Zhongtian said while pointing out the map on the erected and spread out map. Li Qianqing looked at it, "Qilong Peak has four micro spiritual veins, and it is also close to Weishui County. And there are two spiritual vein lands on the left and right, one has one micro spiritual vein, and the other has two... This is the maximum that our Shen family can give Sincerity.”
In Shen Zhongtian’s plan, the conditions offered to the Li family were not like this.
First, let’s talk about Qi Long Peak, and then add some spirit stones. Later, we can give the Li family room to increase the price.
But after communicating with Li Qianqing, he chose to directly outline the bottom line of their Shen family. This was the most they could give. No more would be enough.
Shen Zhongtian felt that Li Qianqing was not the kind of greedy monk, so he dared to say this.
“Senior, after you own these places of spiritual veins, you will gradually gain influence in Crescent County. During this period, our Shen family will not do anything.”
Spiritual Veins of After guarding the monks, the Li family will definitely increase their influence in Crescent County. This is also one of the conditions offered by the Shen family. They will not interfere with the expansion of the Li family.
After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, it will be difficult for the Li family to expand. At this time, the silent Zhao royal family should make some moves when they expand.
"Senior, what do you think?" Shen Zhongtian has said everything that needs to be said, and now it's time to look at Li Qianqing.
Li Qianqing nodded, "I can see the sincerity of your Shen family. I am very satisfied."
He was telling the truth. To be honest, the things the Shen family gave him were better than what he thought. There are even more. As for Shen Zhongtian's later words about not interfering with their expansion, he simply ignored it. Now is a good time for expansion, but it will not be after that.
What the Shen family gave them to the Li family must not be given now, but should be taken out after the Tianhe Sect is destroyed.
If you give them to the Li family now, it will tell Tianhe Sect that we have given up resistance.
"When will the land of spiritual veins be given to us?" Although he understood in his heart, Li Qianqing still wanted to ask.
"After Tianhe Sect is destroyed, seniors can send people to take over." After thinking about it, Shen Zhongtian added, "Before that, our Shen family will take over the land of spiritual veins." The production resources are well taken care of. On this point, senior can rest assured.”
“Yes, that’s okay.”
It’s almost over now, and Shen Zhongtian felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, because he thought well. Li Qianqing was not the kind of greedy monk. Under such circumstances, he would not ask for excessive prices. After showing his sincerity, the negotiation went smoothly.
At the same time, he also understood that his decision was right. If he offered a small price at the beginning, the other party might not agree with it when he finally offered the price.
"Senior, my mission here this time has been completed. If senior has any instructions, you can tell me. I will go back without you." The current period is quite special, and it is not good for him, Shen Zhongtian, to stay in the ancestral land of the Li family for too long. time.
“Go back.” Li Qianqing smiled softly.
Shen Zhongtian of the Shen family is really nice to talk to.
What can he do that the Shen family needs to do? However, after Shen Zhongtian added this sentence, it made people feel very comfortable.
"Junior will leave first."
Shen Zhongtian stood up and bowed before leaving.
After talking to the Li family, the Shen family is also safe. The Tianhe Sect has been destroyed, and the Li family does not take action against them. The other pill-forming immortal cultivating families generally have no thoughts.
If you want to win over the Shen family, in addition to considering your own strength, the location factor is also very important. The Alchemy Immortal Cultivation family that is far away from Xinyue County is normally not interested in the Shen family. In this case Under such circumstances, occupying their Shen family's spiritual land would be difficult to manage.
These factors are all based on the fact that there is no deep hatred between the Shen family and other alchemy cultivating families. If there is such a situation, all the previous factors will be overturned.
Shen Zhongtian walked very comfortably.
Li Qianqing was even more satisfied.
After talking to Shen Zhongtian, the Li family can capture three spiritual vein lands without using a little bit of strength. One of the spiritual vein lands also has four miniature spiritual veins. The family The foundation-building monks can guard that side.
At the same time, the Li family also has a certain influence on Crescent County.
Li Qianqing felt that everything Shen Zhongtian said meant making good friends with the Li family. If the Shen family behaves in the future, it will not be much different from Shen Zhongtian. For Xinyue County, they have no idea.
After all, they actually have a lot now.
Before the family's comprehensive strength is further improved, defending these territories is the most important thing.
'The family's development strategy in the next few years needs to be slightly adjusted...' Li Qianqing thought in his mind.
Strategies are constantly changing based on changes in the actual situation. After that, without any monks, you can have three spiritual vein lands. The next most important thing is to develop and continue to expand. The base number of mortal clan members, thereby increasing the number of family monks.
The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom is essentially a family of alchemy-forming immortals, but they have more than ten alchemy-forming monks, more than a hundred foundation-building monks, not to mention the number of Qi-refining level monks.
The ability of a Zhao royal family to deal with three Jiedan sects is enough to show how powerful they are.
It is because they are not on the same level as the four major alchemy sects that they are one of the alchemy forces, so Yihuang was singled out as the last level of the Zhao Kingdom's alchemy forces.
…
Crescent County. The ancestral land of the Shen family.
After returning here, Shen Zhongtian immediately went to see the clan leader Shen Xingyuan.
"Zhongtian, are you back so soon?" Before Shen Zhongtian could speak, the head of the Shen family immediately said, "The talks have collapsed, right?"
The head of the Shen family immediately thought of this possibility. , otherwise Shen Zhongtian would not have come back so quickly.
Especially negotiations like this will take a long time, and finally there will be a result that both parties think is acceptable.
In his eyes, finishing the conversation quickly means being dirty.
"No." Shen Zhongtian shook his head, "We have already reached an agreement. We will give the Li family three pieces of spiritual land. After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, they will not take any action against us."
"That's good." When the head of the Shen family heard this, the sullenness in his heart disappeared, as long as it was settled.
Although the negotiation was settled, the head of the Shen family was still more concerned about the negotiation process because it was really fast.
When Shen Xingyuan asked about the negotiation, Shen Zhongtian answered truthfully and also explained the reason for the change in his conversation with Li Qianqing.
After listening, the head of the Shen family understood.
No wonder Shen Zhongtian returned to Crescent County so quickly. In addition to the reason Shen Zhongtian directly gave the most sincere reason, Li Qianqing did not leave him alone. After learning that he came to Changqing Mountain to see him, , and soon the two met.
"This Li Qianqing doesn't have the airs of a pill-forming monk."
"Nor does he have the airs of a family patriarch." Shen Zhongtian added.
The head of the Shen family glanced at Shen Zhongtian. He knew that this boy still wanted to talk about him, but seeing that he had completed his task so beautifully, he didn't care about it too much.
When he thought of this, the head of the Shen family felt that there was something wrong with his thinking. He actually felt that Shen Zhongtian had completed the task beautifully. You must know that Shen Zhongtian directly gave them the bottom line of the Shen family.
He quickly thought of the reason for this idea.
It was because Shen Zhongtian came back so quickly at first that he thought the negotiation had failed. At that time, he was thinking that if he gave the Li family better conditions, the negotiation would not fail. Compared with the possible demise of the family, he would still give up more. The benefits are better.
"And the rules of the Li family are different from ours. The patriarch of their family is the eldest."
The Shen family is not the eldest by the patriarch, but the eldest ancestor in the pill formation stage.
According to the rules of their Shen family, after becoming a monk in the Danjie stage, they would live in seclusion behind the scenes. However, because of the presence of the ancestor, the actual power of the leader of the clan will be much smaller.
"You kid, just say a word. My position as the patriarch will generally be yours from now on. Let's see if you can do better."
"Clan leader, you don't want me to form an elixir." Shen Zhongtian couldn't help but retort.
"You kid...forget it."
......
One year later.
Qingfeng Valley.
At this moment, four months have passed since Feng Xicheng, the master of Qingfeng Valley, went into retreat to attack the late stage of pill formation.
Normally, it takes three to six months to break through from the peak of the mid-stage alchemy to the late stage of the alchemy. If the breakthrough is not completed within half a year, it means that the breakthrough has failed.
Yan Xuewei, who was handling the affairs of Qingfeng Valley, suddenly stood up and found that the owner of Qingfeng Valley had already left seclusion.
During the Qingfeng Valley Valley Master's retreat, some of the Valley Master's major affairs were mainly left to her to handle.
Now she is the third elder of Qingfeng Valley. After the great elder died at the end of his life a few years ago, the number in front of her, the fourth elder, became three.
There is currently no fourth Danjie elder in Qingfeng Valley, so now they only have four Danjie monks in Qingfeng Valley.
Among the pill-forming monks, in addition to her and the owner of Qingfeng Valley, the second elder is also in the valley, and the first elder is now in Longhui County.
The war in Longhui County is relatively fierce, and the Longhui Wei family has good relations with the great elder, so the task of supporting the Longhui Wei family naturally falls on him. If there is a lot of war on the Li family, , Yan Xuewei should have been her support in the past.
The border between Weishui County and Xinyue County currently occupied by the Li family should be the quietest now.
Li Qianqing also told her that not fighting is in the best interest of the Li family. Therefore, when the Xinyue Shen family does not take action, normally the Li family will not take action.
Yan Xuewei understands that the biggest reason for the tranquility in Weishui County is the current strength of the Li family. Facing the Li family, a family of three-layered elixir cultivators, even if she is the decision-maker of the Xinyue Shen family, she would not take the initiative to provoke under normal circumstances. When the Li family takes the initiative to provoke the Li family, the Zhao royal family must be punished.
Yan Xuewei knows very well that it is impossible to bring about the end of the Zhao royal family, so it is unlikely that the Xinyue Shen family will take the initiative.
"Late stage of pill formation...successful!" Yan Xuewei sensed that the aura of the master of Qingfeng Valley in the distance had changed. He was now the third late stage pill formation monk in the Zhao Kingdom.
Yan Xuewei, who appeared in front of the Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley, congratulated, "Congratulations to the Valley Master for your successful breakthrough!"
"Hahaha, I am no longer the Valley Master, you are." Feng Xicheng, who had broken through to the late stage of pill formation, was very happy and couldn't help but joke.
According to the rules in the valley, after breaking through to the late stage of pill formation and completing the corresponding ceremony, one becomes the Supreme Elder of Qingfeng Valley, and then lives in seclusion behind the scenes to seek the possibility of Nascent Soul.
Now that Feng Xicheng has not completed the ceremony, he is not considered the Supreme Elder of Qingfeng Valley.
"Have you been getting used to it these past few months?" Feng Xicheng asked, returning to his seriousness.
The supreme elder of Qingfeng Valley can designate who will be the master of Qingfeng Valley. Feng Xicheng’s position as the master of Qingfeng Valley was designated by the supreme elder of Qingfeng Valley.
So if Feng Xicheng breaks through to the late stage of pill formation, Yan Xuewei must be the next valley master of Qingfeng Valley. This is his designated candidate.
"Adapt." Yan Xuewei nodded.
After that, she, the owner of Qingfeng Valley, should be the most stable owner. After all, she has a close relationship with the very powerful Li family.
The outside world now ranks the Li family and the Fengyong Yu family side by side, and Yan Xuewei knows very well that because of Li Qianqing, the Li family is already stronger than the Yu family, and is now a well-deserved leader among the eleven families. The first.
During Feng Xicheng's tenure, civil strife broke out. The main reason was that Feng Xicheng had no relationship with any of the affiliated alchemy cultivating families. (End of this chapter)
