Calculating the time, it has been nearly two years since Li Qiuben reached the peak of foundation building.
This period of time should also be ready for a monk with dual spiritual roots and a body of vegetation.
“Yes, Thirteenth Great-Grandfather.” Li Qiuben nodded, “I am ready to form the elixir.”
After nearly two years of preparation, Li Qiuben is very sure about his own elixir formation. Bigger.
“Well, come with me.”
Once Li Qiuben succeeds in forming the elixir, the family will basically not have to worry about the elixir for the next three hundred years. The monks who contribute more to the family have more cultivation resources and can practice faster. The current Li family is all about this. direction development.
Li Qianqing himself is also confident in Li Qiuben's alchemy. The body of plants and trees plus the alchemy spiritual object Xuan Fumu, this alchemy spiritual object is very suitable for monks like Li Qiuben.
For most dual spiritual root monks, it usually takes about two years to break through from the peak of foundation building to forming a pill, if the breakthrough is successful.
Now that Li Qiuben is in retreat, Li Qianqing hopes to see the results in two years.
In the Li family monk’s alchemy cave.
After Li Qiuben opened the spirit gathering array with all his strength, he sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit gathering array and took out the special jade box from the high-end storage bag.
"Mysterious Talisman Wood."
Looking at the elixir-forming spiritual object in front of him, Li Qiuben, who was already confident, became even more confident that he could successfully form the elixir.
Under his control, the black talisman wood floated in front of his forehead.
Breaking through the pill formation officially begins!
…
About a month after Li Qiuben retreated and attained alchemy, a meeting was held in Qingfeng Valley.
The monks at this meeting, in addition to the master of Qingfeng Valley, are the three major alchemy elders of Qingfeng Valley. The Taishang elder has retired behind the scenes and does not participate in any meetings under normal circumstances, but Qingfeng The Valley Master is obliged to inform the Supreme Elder of important matters, including the content of the meeting.
This is also the reason why the owner of Qingfeng Valley can be appointed by the Supreme Elder.
Since the establishment of Qingfeng Valley, as long as there is a breakthrough in the valley and becomes a Supreme Elder in the late stage of pill formation, they are in the same faction as the valley owner.
In the meeting between the Valley Master and Elder Jiedan, in addition to discussing matters within the valley, many matters outside the valley were also discussed.
Whoever thinks something is more important will bring it up at the meeting, and then others will usually join the discussion. If you don’t want to participate in the discussion, you don’t have to speak.
“The Li family is now a family that cultivates immortals with three knots of pills. Although they are still an affiliated force of our Qingfeng Valley, in the end they are a hidden danger. When they have four knotted pill monks, they may be a threat to us in Qingfeng Valley. Take action." The second elder raised the Li family's issue at the meeting.
The current owner of Qingfeng Valley, Yan Xuewei, immediately turned her attention to him.
Before she could speak, Third Elder Zuo Qiu Lipeng immediately stood up from his seat.
"Second Elder, what do you mean?"
The Second Elder originally wanted to see what Yan Xuewei would say, but Zuoqiu Lipeng was a little excited. Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to want to fight. Rack-like.
"Third Elder, what I said is very clear. The current Li family is a hidden danger to us in Qingfeng Valley." The second elder emphasized his previous words, and then continued, "I heard that, Third Elder, you have I went to the Li family a few days ago to fight with the monks of the Li family, and then lost."
The second elder is not particularly clear about the relationship between Zuoqiu Lipeng and the Li family. In the eyes of most Qingfeng Valley monks, Zuoqiu Lipeng is a practicing lunatic. He seems to only want to practice to improve his strength.
Although I don’t have a very specific understanding, it can be seen from the battle between Zuoqiu Lipeng and the Li family’s Qingshan and the Li family’s alchemy monks that Zuoqiu Lipeng may want to find a partner to discuss with, and then he heard about the Li family’s popularity. Zhengsheng, then went to find the Li family monk.
For Zuoqiu Lipeng, fighting seems to be all about improving his strength.
His relationship with the Li family is probably average.
And Zuoqiu Lipeng is not very good at dealing with relationships with others.
“I lost the fight, and that was for others’ benefit.” Regarding his loss to Li Xunting in the fight, Zuoqiu Lipeng didn’t feel there was anything to be ashamed of, “I will definitely win it back and defeat her in the future!”
"It seems that the third elder also agrees with what I said." The second elder nodded after hearing Zuoqiu Lipeng's words.
Yan Xuewei, who had not spoken yet, felt that the current situation was a bit funny.
The second elder obviously misunderstood the third elder.
Among the alchemy monks present, only Yan Xuewei knew why Zuoqiu Lipeng wanted to win against Li Xunting. Regarding the two of them, Li Qianqing briefly told him that Zuoqiu Lipeng had to defeat Li Qianqing before. To pursue the opportunity of Li Xunting, now all you have to do is defeat Li Xunting, and the difficulty has suddenly been reduced a lot.
"What do you mean? When did I say that I agreed with your point of view."
"Don't the third elders want to win back? Suppressing the Li family now is an opportunity. ”
"Second Elder, I think you are old and confused. First of all, I completely disagree with your point of view. In fact, even if there are more alchemy monks in the Li family, as long as they have a good relationship with our Qingfeng Valley, it will not have any impact on our Qingfeng Valley. The feud between the Li family is not good for us...but it is good for the Zhao royal family.”
Although Zuoqiu Lipeng is a diligent practitioner and does not manage many affairs, it does not mean that he is unaware of the current situation.
In the private chat with Yan Xuewei, apart from the topic of Qingfeng Valley itself, the two of them talked most about the Li family, especially the topic of Li Xunting, because Zuoqiu Lipeng liked this topic, and Yan Xue Wei also followed him on this.
"Second Elder, if you suddenly said these things, wouldn't you be taking advantage of the Zhao royal family?" Zuoqiu Lipeng stared at the Second Elder and asked this question directly.
“What did you say!”
The second elder's expression changed and he also stood up.
What Zuoqiu Lipeng said was completely opposite to him, which was completely different from what he thought when he raised the question.
After he raised this question, it was probably more of a conversation with Valley Master Yan Xuewei. As a result, Yan Xuewei hasn’t said a word yet, but Zuoqiu Lipeng directly put him on the spot with just one sentence. Bake on rack.
"I said you received benefits from the Zhao royal family." Zuoqiu Lipeng asked before, but this time he directly unilaterally said that the second elder received benefits, "Now the monks of the three sects basically don't Contact the Zhao royal family and don’t want to have anything to do with them. It’s better for you, the second elder, to contact them directly. “Zuo Qiu Lipeng, I’m telling you! Don’t slander anyone until you have evidence.” The second elder didn’t expect that. Qiu Lipeng actually slapped him with a big hat.
"Second Elder, don't get excited. Don't mind what the Third Elder says." Yan Xuewei spoke at this time, "You also know that the Third Elder has always been outspoken and will say whatever he has to say directly."
The second elder glanced at Yan Xuewei, and soon returned to Zuoqiu Lipeng.
He was not surprised at Yan Xuewei's biased behavior. Yan Xuewei established a cooperative relationship with the Li family when she was still a foundation-building elder. This cooperative relationship must still be there now. .
Now that Yan Xuewei is the master of Qingfeng Valley, there are many factors to consider, and she has to consider whatever he proposes. But Zuoqiu Lipeng stared at him like this, and the great elder beside him did not stand for anything. aside.
In this case, his proposal is already useless and does not even need to be considered.
The second elder, who had calmed down a little, was wondering what the relationship between Zuoqiu Lipeng and the Li family was.
The partner of the Li family is Yan Xuewei. Normally, they will not cooperate with any of their alchemy monks in Qingfeng Valley. Once they cooperate, there will be many conflicts and the benefits will not be distributed.
And if the Li family really has the idea of cooperating with many of their Qingfeng Valley alchemy monks, they should also contact him, the second elder.
The second elder, who lacks key information, cannot figure out this problem no matter how hard he thinks about it.
If he were Zuoqiu Lipeng, thinking from Zuoqiu Lipeng's perspective, it would be impossible to reach a cooperative relationship with the Li family, let alone have a good relationship with them.
Judging from Zuoqiu Lipeng's reaction, people who didn't know better thought that his relationship with the Li family was better than Yan Xuewei's relationship with the Li family.
"Third Elder, I think the Second Elder is not such a person. He has always done things in a measured manner." Yan Xuewei looked at Zuoqiu Lipeng and said a good word for the Second Elder.
"Valley Master, you don't need to say good things for him. Does he do things in a measured way? If he does things in a measured way, he won't raise this issue after investigating clearly. The Li family attaches great importance to reputation. They are now affiliated with our Qingfeng Valley. As for the alchemy forces, as long as we in Qingfeng Valley don’t do anything to them, their family’s five or six, let alone four alchemy-forming monks, will have no impact on us, and may even be beneficial. And if the Li family really rises like this, Zhao The royal family of the country will definitely be anxious.”
“After all, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom is also a family that cultivates immortality through alchemy. They are most afraid of the rise of the family that cultivates immortality through alchemy, which will threaten their status in the world of immortality in the Zhao Kingdom...”
Zuoqiu Lipeng said a lot, and his analysis was based on unconditional trust in the Li family.
The second elder originally wanted to refute something, but after Zuoqiu Lipeng finished speaking, Yan Xuewei continued.
"The third elder is right. What the Li family is most worried about now is the Zhao royal family. They will definitely find ways to suppress the Li family, or even take action directly. So the second elder, what you just said, the third The elders suspected that you had connections with the Zhao royal family, or even received benefits from them. "
Talking about this again?
At this moment, the second elder was unable to speak.
If he spoke again, Zuoqiu Lipeng and Yan Xuewei would be labeled as having colluded with the Zhao royal family based on what they said to each other.
This is nothing!
The second elder feels that he is clearly thinking about the problem from the perspective of Qingfeng Valley. As a subsidiary force of Qingfeng Valley, the Li family may backfire against Qingfeng Valley once they become too powerful. Therefore, the Li family treats Qingfeng Valley against them. It is a hidden danger, for which they must be fully prepared.
Seeing that the second elder sat down and stopped talking, Yan Xuewei took this opportunity to continue.
"Once the Li family is suppressed by the Zhao royal family, we'd better give them some help. We and the Li family can still trust each other. Our relationship with the Zhao royal family now has no basis for trust at all. , and the power of the Zhao royal family is not only a threat to our Qingfeng Valley, but also a threat to the other two sects. We don’t want to follow in the footsteps of the Tianhe sect.”
This is a good opportunity to offer help to the Li family. .
Yan Xuewei will not miss this opportunity.
"The Valley Master is right!" Zuoqiu Lipeng gave Yan Xuewei a thumbs up, then glanced at the second elder before he sat down, "The Zhao royal family needs to expend energy to deal with the Li family. It is also good for us in Qingfeng Valley to use the Li family to keep the Zhao royal family in check.”
As the Danjie elder of Qingfeng Valley, Zuoqiu Lipeng also thinks about the problem from the perspective of Qingfeng Valley, but when thinking about the problem, Everyone has different attitudes towards the Li family and draws different conclusions.
"It makes sense." The great elder nodded at this time.
He agreed with Zuoqiu Lipeng's statement that the Li family could contain the Zhao royal family.
At this moment, the second elder was silent. Now that even the first elder had said this, he could no longer say anything. If he continued to insist on his own ideas and words, he would probably be isolated in the end.
"If the elders have no objections, let's settle it as it is." Yan Xuewei said calmly. In meetings with high-level officials of Danjie, since she became the master of Qingfeng Valley, her tone in such meetings has basically been... A tone of voice.
After the issue regarding the Li family has been decided, the next thing to talk about is other external issues.
When the second elder started to raise the issue of the Li family, he never expected that it would end like this.
His initial idea was to suppress the Li family properly to prevent them from developing too fast. The Zhao royal family would take action. However, when the Zhao royal family suppressed the Li family, they still had Qingfeng Valley. To provide a certain amount of help, it would be better to let the Zhao royal family and the Li family fight on their own, and Qingfeng Valley just watch.
After the meeting.
The great elder of Qingfeng Valley left together with the second elder.
"Great Elder, I have a question."
"Second Elder, please speak." The Great Elder looked at the Second Elder beside him and smiled.
"About the Li family...why did you agree?"
"I don't agree." The great elder shook his head, "I just think what you said makes sense, whether it's you, the second elder, or the third elder, it all makes sense."
"...Okay." The second elder Hearing this, he could only nod. It was hard for him to say anything at this time.
In his opinion, the great elder had something to say that he didn’t want to say, otherwise it would be difficult to prevaricate him like this.
"It has a good reputation. The Li family is doing really well." Looking at the second elder's appearance, the eldest elder still said something.
The great elder has many beneficial relationships with the Longhui Wei family.
When he talked with the Longhuiwei family's alchemy monks, they often talked about the Li family, and the topics were basically discussed with the Longhuiwei family.
In the all-out struggle between Qingfeng Valley and the Tianhe Sect, the Wei family, like the Li family, has a sphere of influence bordering on the Tianhe Sect, so their side has the most wars. However, the Li family is in this all-out struggle. In the struggle, they basically won against the affiliated forces of Tianhe Sect.
When such a situation occurs, the result of their discussion is that the reputation of the Li family exerts a huge influence at this time, and there are many forces willing to work for them to refine their energy and build their foundation. (End of this chapter)
