Ancestor Zhao Longyin knocked on the table lightly, and all the alchemy monks present looked at him.
“We need a reason.”
In eight simple words, the other eight people understood what the ancestor meant.
The Zhao royal family needs a reason, a reason to attack the Li family. This reason must be legitimate. They cannot just find a reason to attack the Li family.
There are many families in the Zhao Kingdom who are cultivating immortality by forming pills. Today, if the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom can find a reason to destroy the current Li family, other families who are cultivating the immortality by forming pills will think that they, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, can also take the opportunity to do so. Find a reason to kill them.
"Ancestor, it's a bit difficult to find a decent reason at the moment." Zhao Wengang thought a lot, but couldn't think of a legitimate reason.
Among all the alchemy monks present, he is the one who knows the Li family best.
The reputation of the Li family in Xiangshui County is very high, higher than the reputation of the Zhao royal family in Huangmin County. This is nothing when the Li family is weak, but it will not matter when the Li family becomes strong.
Because the Li family's reputation in Xiangshui County is high, it is difficult to find a legitimate reason to take action against them in Xiangshui County. If the Li family's reputation in Xiangshui County is poor, it will be much easier. You can use other The Xiuxian family forced the Li family to take action, and then the Zhao royal family entered the game again and took over the Li family for justifiable reasons. This also won the hearts of the people.
"Based on the current situation, we can suppress them first, and then take action after finding a suitable reason." Zhao Wengang feels that this is the best way to deal with the Li family at present. As time goes by, as long as Keeping an eye on the Li family, there should still be opportunities for them to make mistakes.
After seizing such an opportunity, the Zhao royal family usually has a legitimate reason to take action.
"Yes." Ancestor Zhao Longyin nodded slowly, and then his eyes moved to Zhao Wengang, "Wengang, this time the Li family is holding an elixir formation banquet, you can come and have a look."< br>
Have they ever been to the previous three elixir banquets held by the Li family? If the Li family had invited them at that time, they would still have gone, but the Li family had not invited them.
The previous Li family had not invited them, so naturally they would not be invited this time. They had always come uninvited in the past.
Zhao Wengang understood immediately what the ancestor wanted him to do.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Soon he agreed. It was very easy to find out when the Li family would hold an elixir banquet for Li Qiuben. Zhao Wengang would definitely arrive in time.
He went to the Li family’s Dan Dan Banquet organized by Li Qiuben. Naturally, he wanted to make a preliminary target of the Li family and have a little talk. If the Li family knew each other, there was still the possibility of talking. However, according to the Li family Judging from the previous performance of the Zhao royal family, the Li family basically didn't know how to recognize faces.
……
Crescent County.
The ancestral land of the Shen family.
They were the quickest among the ten families to know about Li Qiuben’s elixir formation news.
After receiving the news, the head of the Shen family quickly came to see the family ancestor and told him the bombshell news.
Clan leader Shen Xingyuan did not expect that just ten years after the Tianhe Sect was destroyed, the Li family would produce another alchemy-building monk, and it was a Li family foundation-building monk that they had never heard of before.
The little-known monks of the Li family, they can only say that the Li family still hides very deep.
After hearing the news reported by Shen Xingyuan, the ancestor of the Shen family did not show much expression on his face, but he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The decision to seek peace with the Li family at that time seems completely correct now!" Looking back on their previous decision, they now feel extremely lucky.
If they had not sued for peace, even after the Tianhe Sect was destroyed, they survived by chance, and the Li family, whose family owned the Three-Jie Dan monk, would not have done anything to them. Now that the family has the Four-Jie Dan monk, the Li family It's impossible to let go of their fat piece of meat.
"After reaching cooperation with the Li family, they have been very quiet in Crescent County..." Shen Xingyuan, the head of the Shen family, said about the situation in recent years.
They gave the Li family spiritual land.
The monks of the Li family who now live in these spiritual lands are basically inactive in Crescent County, let alone have an influence on their power in Crescent County.
What the Li family does is definitely what they are most happy to see.
In Crescent County, as long as the Li family does not take any action, the Shen family's influence in Crescent County can be very large. Once the Li family has the intention to get involved in Crescent County, they will expand their influence in Crescent County. power, then correspondingly their Shen family's influence in Crescent County will decrease.
As for how much it will drop, it depends on what the Li family does.
"Well, Li Qianqing of the Li family must be a monk who speaks the truth." The ancestor of the Shen family nodded. Now they have a better understanding of the Li family and Li Qianqing. After reaching an agreement with such a monk, there is basically no need to worry. The other party will regret it.
As time goes by, it can be said that the Shen family has become more and more relieved over the years.
"I wonder if Li Qiuben of the Li family will invite us, the Shen family, to the Dan Jie banquet this time." Shen Xingyuan thought for a while, and it was actually quite difficult for the Shen family to be invited.
According to the information he investigated, the Li family will take the initiative to invite the Immortal Cultivation Family, and the affiliated forces of Qingfeng Valley are a basic condition.
Now the Shen family is not an affiliated force of Qingfeng Valley, but an affiliated force of Shuiyun Sect. Fortunately, the relationship between Shuiyun Sect and Qingfeng Valley is good, and now the relations between the three sects are easing.
If it weren't for the current situation, Shen Xingyuan wouldn't think that they still had a slight chance.
"Even if the Li family doesn't invite us, Xingyuan, you must take the initiative to go there and give us a big gift to promote our relationship with the Li family." The ancestor of the Shen family said.
They no longer have any conflicts with the Li family. When they take the initiative to come to the door, as long as they are sincere, it is not difficult to make friends with the Li family. Moreover, the current Li family also needs to make good friends with more families that cultivate immortality through alchemy.
Shen Xingyuan glanced at the ancestor unexpectedly when he heard this.
If you completely make friends with the Li family, you may offend the Zhao royal family.
In their previous agreement with the Li family, it was stated that when the Li family confronts the Zhao royal family, they will provide appropriate covert help. After a complete friendship with the Li family, the Zhao royal family must Will notice them.
The ancestors of the Shen family didn't think like this before. The help they could secretly give to the Li family was the limit of what they could do.
The ancestor of the Shen family seemed to understand what Shen Xingyuan was thinking. He also explained, "Now the Li family has four monks of the Dan Jie. If this situation continues, who knows whether they will be able to survive in the next few decades?" In the meantime, another pill-forming monk appeared. "
"Facing the Li family, the Zhao royal family must use all their energy to deal with them. Where can they find the energy to deal with us? "
"Ancestor thinks the Li family will not fall?"
"It's difficult... Before the new Danjie elder from Qingfeng Valley went to the Li family, I don't think things are that simple."
Qingfeng Gu is nominally the sect of the Li family. As long as Qingfeng Gu does not unite with the Zhao royal family to deal with the Li family, it will be difficult for the Li family of the Sijie Danxiu Immortal Family to fall. After all, it is absolutely impossible for the Zhao royal family to deal with the Li family at all costs. Home.
If the Zhao royal family really did this, the three major alchemy sects would be happy to see it all.
The game between the same forces cannot rely on barbarism. If the current ancestor of the Zhao royal family breaks the pill and becomes an infant, the situation will be different. When dealing with the Li family, There is no need to consider the three factors. "Ancestor, I understand." Shen Xingyuan nodded.
Having always been more partial to the Li family, he would not say much at this time.
From the perspective of the family patriarch, the Li family does not affect the influence of the Shen family in Crescent County. To them, the Li family is friendlier than any other alchemy-forming and immortality-cultivating family, because currently the Li family is the only alchemy-forming and immortality-cultivating family. In their spiritual vein land of Crescent County.
Taking it all together, among the alchemy cultivating families, their relationship with the Li family is in a sense the best.
"Just understand. Remember to be completely sincere when attending the new Dan-Jie Li Qiuben Dan-Jie banquet."
"Yes."
If the current situation of the Shen family was not a bit special, and he was the only ancestor in the family who was an alchemy monk, otherwise they would have sent the alchemy monks to attend the Li family's alchemy banquet. In addition to the alchemy monks, they would have As far as the family is concerned, sending the family patriarch to attend the Pill Formation Banquet is also part of their sincerity.
…
In less than half a month, within half a month, all the forces above the foundation level in the Zhao Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world knew about the news that the fourth alchemy-forming cultivator was born in the Li family, becoming Zhao’s veritable number one alchemy-forming and immortality-cultivating family. News, and most of the Qi refining forces.
In their view, the Zhao royal family is no longer as powerful as the Alchemy Cultivation Family, so the Li family has become the real number one.
After the Fengyong Yu family received the news, they had no reaction.
The birth of the fourth alchemy monk from the Li family is almost no harm to them now. First, their Fengyong County is separated from Xiangshui County by more than half of the Zhao Kingdom. Secondly, the rise of the Li family, Zhao The royal family paid less attention to them.
As for the title of the number one alchemy-cultivating family in the Zhao Kingdom, they would rather not have it than be stared at by the Zhao royal family.
In the past hundred years, the Zhao royal family has spent a lot of their thoughts on them. Now even if the Tianhe Sect is destroyed and the Zhao royal family has regained its influence, basically the main thoughts should be on the Li family. Over there, not on them.
It’s been one month since Li Qiuben of the Li family formed an elixir.
The Dan Dan Banquet belonging to Li Qiuben also began.
For the basic Foundation Building Banquet and Pill Formation Banquet of the Li family, all the immortal cultivating forces from Xiangshui County will come, while most of the forces from Weishui County and Wutong County will come, with more from Weishui County.
In the Weishui County where Li Xunming is guarding, the Li family is also the overlord, but there are still some independent Qi refining forces. These independent Qi refining forces, the Li family has temporarily ignored them. They do not want to become a subsidiary force and do not want to provide resources.
On the day of Li Qiuben's alchemy feast, the head of the Shen family, Shen Xingyuan, came early in the morning.
Contrary to what they thought, the Li family did not invite the Shen family to attend the Dan Jie Banquet, he came over on his own initiative.
Li Xunxun, Li Qingyu, a monk in the early stages of his family's foundation building, and five other monks in his family's late stage of Qi refining were waiting for guests at the foot of Changqing Mountain. Shen Xingyuan was the first to go up.
"Shen Xingyuan of the Shen family."
"It turns out to be Chief Shen." Li Xunxun was a little surprised when he saw Shen Xingyuan. They had an agreement with the Shen family, and the Li family abided by the agreement very much. Even if the Shen family didn't do anything, they had nothing to do with the Li family. Communicate, they will not go out of their way to contaminate Crescent County.
"Fellow Taoist Xun Yun, this is a small thought from our Shen family, and I hope you will accept it." After more information was revealed in the investigation of the Li family, Shen Xingyuan recognized all the monks above the foundation level in the Li family at a glance. I can recognize it.
While speaking, Shen Xingyuan took out a cyan jade box.
The jade box is sealed with a magic circle to preserve the contents. Just looking at the jade box, it is not difficult to guess that it is definitely a good thing, and it is also very valuable.
It seems that the Shen family has invested a lot of money in taking the initiative to participate in the Dan Dan Banquet this time.
"Thank you." Li Xunxun thanked Li Qiuben on behalf of Li Qiuben, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Clan Chief Shen, I have an invitation from above."
"Qingyu, lead the way."
" Yes, Fifth Grandpa, Patriarch Shen, please come with me.”
“Thank you.”
Shen Xingyuan smiled slightly and did not waste too much time here. According to the current size of the Li family. With reputation, Li Xunxun and others would be very busy picking up guests, and normally they wouldn't be able to stop all morning.
The Danjie Banquet usually starts at noon and continues until dusk in the evening.
The welcome at the foot of Evergreen Mountain lasted for a while, and the Alchemy Monk also came.
“Xunxun.” In a flash of golden light, Zuoqiu Lipeng appeared in front of Li Xunxun.
“It turns out to be Elder Zuoqiu.”
Zuoqiu Lipeng, a pill-forming monk, came very early. Generally, during the pill-forming banquet, the pill-forming monks came relatively late.
After understanding some of the situation, Li Xunxun was not surprised to see Zuoqiu Lipeng coming from Qingfeng Valley, and he came relatively early.
“This is a gift from our Qingfeng Valley.” Zuoqiu Lipeng took out what the current Valley Master had prepared for him, “Congratulations on the birth of another pill-forming monk. I hope we can see you again in the next hundred years. There are alchemy monks appearing in your Li family one after another."
There is nothing wrong with what Zuo Qiu Lipeng said.
The Qi Refining monks who came to participate in the alchemy banquet were monks affiliated with the Li family, but they knew that Qingfeng Valley and the Li family treated affiliated forces differently.
The Li family will not suppress affiliated forces, but Qingfeng Valley will. There were some examples a long time ago.
Therefore, what Zuoqiu Lipeng said came into their ears, and they felt that it was more of a pretentious statement than a sincere one.
"I hope so too." Li Xunxun nodded, and at the same time he added in his heart that he hoped he would be next.
In the late stage of foundation building, he is not far from the peak of foundation building.
However, Li Xunxun doesn’t have much confidence in forming pills on his own. He is not the family’s pill-forming seed. Unless he goes out and gets a chance to form pills, there will be no pill-forming spiritual objects attached to form pills. A pill-forming monk may be more like Li Qingqing.
It is also possible that Li Zhonghao surpassed Li Qingqing when he reached the late stage of foundation building.
There is still a big gap between the cultivation speed of Tianling Root and Alien Spiritual Root.
"Elder Zuoqiu, please come with me."
The ones coming are Danjie monks, and Li Xunxun will be responsible for sending them up. (End of this chapter)
