After the fight, Zuoqiu Lipeng had some regrets.
Same as last time, it was still difficult for him to fight back this time. He was passively beaten and defended. The difference was that this time he was beaten even worse than last time.
Fortunately, except for Li Qianqing, there was no other audience for this fight.
Li Qianqing was present, and the main thing was to prevent the opponent from being hurt by fighting skills, because it is not good to be seriously injured while fighting. Also because of Li Qianqing's presence, Li Xunting became more unscrupulous in her attacks, not afraid of hurting Zuoqiu Lipeng, something was really going to go wrong. When the time comes, her Thirteenth Grandpa will take action.
After the fight ended, the three of them chatted briefly, and Zuoqiu Lipeng returned to Qingfeng Valley.
"Give people some room to fight back. Be careful that he doesn't come next time." Li Qianqing couldn't help but smile thinking about the ferocity of Li Xunting's fight just now.
"Grandpa Thirteen, he will not give up. If he wanted to give up, he would have given up long ago."
"Okay, this is between you." Li Qianqing nodded. head.
Since he did not take action to block Zuoqiu Lipeng's front, it was actually a kind of recognition of him. As for whether Zuoqiu Lipeng can win his eldest granddaughter, it depends on himself.
As a grandfather, it is impossible for him to help outsiders.
The current location of their fight was about a hundred miles away from Changqing Mountain. When he went back with Li Xunting, he was thinking about the Zhao royal family sending Zhao Wengang to attend the Dan Dan Banquet.
Although Zhao Wengang did not do anything at Li Qiuben's elixir banquet due to his interference, the Zhao royal family's behavior of sending him here sent a signal that the Zhao royal family might take action against the Li family at any time.
At present, the Zhao royal family has no reason to take action against the Li family, so the possibility of taking action is not very high. When they find a reason to take action, the Zhao royal family will not let go of the opportunity. In fact, if possible , Li Qianqing hoped that the Zhao royal family would take action without proper reasons.
The development of this matter will be very beneficial to their Li family.
If the Zhao royal family wants to suppress their Li family, without the help of Qingfeng Valley, it feels a bit beyond the reach of the Zhao royal family alone. After all, Xiangshui County is within the influence of Qingfeng Valley. Moreover, in Xiangshui County, the few things left behind by the Zhao royal family have long been removed by them.
……
Huangmin County.
After Zhao Wengang returned to his family's ancestral land, he soon met Zhao Wuming, another alchemy monk from the Zhao royal family.
To be precise, it should be Zhao Wuming who is waiting for Zhao Wengang to come back.
The person who is most concerned about suppressing the Li family is the Zhao royal family's alchemy monk, not Zhao Wengang who knows the most about the Li family, but Zhao Wuming.
The main reason for the last defeat in Qingfeng Valley was because of the Li family. This made Zhao Wuming lose face in front of his ancestor and failed to handle the matter well. If possible, he still wanted to make amends.
"Uncle Jiu, you went to Li Qiuben's elixir knotting banquet. What was the final result?" Zhao Wuming asked directly about the final result.
Zhao Wengang shook his head and sighed softly.
To be honest, he didn't want to mention the experience at the Li family's elixir banquet because it was too embarrassing.
Zhao Wengang felt that if he was given another chance, he felt that he would definitely be tough. After all, the entire Zhao royal family was standing behind him. So what if Li Qianqing really had a late-stage pill-forming monk? Their royal family also has an ancestor who is at the peak of pill formation.
Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Wengang and heard the sigh, and knew that Zhao Wengang's trip to the Li family in Xiangshui did not have a good result.
This is a good thing for him personally. If Zhao Wengang succeeds, Zhao Wuming will not have the chance to make up for his mistakes.
"Uncle Jiu, I think it's normal that the negotiation didn't work out." Zhao Wuming thought for a while and said, "The conditions we gave, in my opinion, even if I am the head of the Li family, , and it’s impossible to agree.”
It is difficult to get the Li family to agree without any effort. Zhao Wuming feels that instead of spending time on the Li family, it is better to spend more time on Qingfeng Valley.
No matter what they said in Qingfeng Valley, they did not want to see the rise of the Li family.
"Yes." Zhao Wengang nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't even raise the topic of negotiating conditions at Li Qiuben's elixir banquet, but he certainly couldn't talk about it directly like this.
"What was the reaction of the Li family at that time?"
"Wu Ming...you assume that you are the head of the Li family. It is not difficult to imagine." Zhao Wengang did not answer Zhao Wuming's question directly. , he raised the questions himself and gave him his own thinking.
Zhao Wuming nodded, and then continued, "If the negotiation fails, we will set up a trap for them..."
"I tried it, but it didn't work. The head of the Li family is impeccable in his work. I didn’t find a chance during the entire Dan Formation Banquet..." Zhao Wengang probably said that his situation at the Dan Formation Banquet was also expressing his helplessness.
If the other party doesn't give him a chance, he won't be able to do anything about it. This is an objective fact.
“…There is one more important point.”
“What?”
“This Li Qianqing is currently in the middle stage of pill formation, but he is likely to have the strength in the late stage of pill formation. , My senses are very keen. Although he tried his best to restrain his breath, I can still feel the real situation from his faint sense of oppression."
"Brother Jiu couldn't help but praise. After thinking about it for a while, he continued, "I didn't expect that Li Qianqing would really be able to hide himself. He would really have the strength of the late stage of pill formation. Our royal family will have to spend more time and energy to deal with them."
"Yeah."
Zhao Wengang nodded calmly.
On the way back, he made up a story about his experience at the Li family’s elixir-building banquet.
As for his true situation at Li Qiuben's Dan Formation Banquet, only the Dan Formation monks know. These Dan Formation monks basically don't talk nonsense. To be honest, he didn't show much at the Dan Formation Banquet. In fact, There’s not much to say.
If this information is spread, he can also insist that what he said is true. The Li family's one was a lie made up. He has already thought out the way out for himself, and in more than 90% of the cases, This information will not spread.
In the absence of conflict, there is nothing to say, it is not something that everyone likes to hear, and it cannot be spread.
"There is nothing much to say about the Li family, but I still gained something unexpected from attending the Li family's elixir banquet this time." Thinking of the exchange with Fang Mingchang, Zhao Wengang felt that this was his Harvest.
Because of such a harvest, he didn’t bring back anything when he went to Li’s house this time.
"What gain?" Zhao Wuming asked curiously.
"If you go to Qingfeng Valley again to seek cooperation, don't go to see their current valley owner, you should go to the current second elder." After a pause, Zhao Wengang continued, "This is from the Xia Yong Fang family. According to the information I received, if I remember correctly, the Xia Yong Fang family has an interest in the current second elder of Qingfeng Valley.”
"It is indeed an unexpected gain!"
Zhao Wuming did not expect that the Fang family, who is also an affiliated Danxianxian cultivator family of Qingfeng Valley, would give them such news as the Zhao royal family.
What really surprised him was that he had a very good opportunity to make up for his mistakes.
"I am very familiar with Qingfeng Valley and have been there many times. After that, I will go to Qingfeng Valley to find He Shiping for cooperation. Just leave it to me." Zhao Wuming volunteered and arranged to go to Qingfeng Valley again. task. The He Shiping he mentioned was the current second elder of Qingfeng Valley.
"Go right away?" Zhao Wengang remembered clearly that at the emergency meeting, Zhao Wuming said that he would not go to Qingfeng Valley in a short time, and it would be best to wait for the people from Qingfeng Valley to come.
"Of course not, I still said what I said before." Zhao Wuming shook his head. The current second elder of Qingfeng Valley, He Shiping, has great hope of persuading him. I have established this because Zhao has not been to Qingfeng Valley in the past few years. In the case of the royal family.
It would be best if someone could come from Qingfeng Valley.
When no one comes from Qingfeng Valley, he has the best option to go there, which will increase the chance of success.
"Look at it...it's best to ask the ancestor for instructions."
"Ancestor agreed." Zhao Wuming had obviously asked for instructions on this issue, and Ancestor also agreed with him.
Zhao Wengang nodded and said nothing more. Later, he had to report to his ancestor about his participation in Li Qiuben’s alchemy formation in the Li family.
……
End of November.
There is heavy snow falling in the sky, covering the Evergreen Mountains with a layer of silver frost.
More than two months have passed since Li Qiuben's alchemy feast ended.
In the patriarch's cave, Li Qianqing was doing his daily practice, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The knock on the door was very common, but Li Qianqing's heart skipped a beat, as if something bad had happened.
“Come in.” While speaking, Li Qianqing had already controlled the stone door to open slowly.
The monk who came in was none other than his sister Li Qianyin. Li Qianyin was now gray-haired. From a mortal perspective, she could be Li Qianqing's grandmother.
Now he, Li Qianqing, is two hundred and twenty years old, and Li Qianyin, who is four months younger than him, is also at this age.
After the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage turn two hundred years old, their Qi and blood begin to decline, and it is difficult to maintain their previous appearance. And after two hundred and twenty years old, the decline will further accelerate.
"Brother Qianqing." Li Qianyin smiled at Li Qianqing and said, "After today, I will be in seclusion."
"Oh." Li Qianqing couldn't help but sigh, Then he said, "It would be great if you broke through the pill formation in seclusion more than 20 years ago."
Under the current situation, even with the help of pill formation spiritual objects, Li Qianyin, who has double spiritual roots, can basically form a pill. It is impossible to break through the pill formation.
Even if there were no pill-forming spiritual objects before, there was still a slight possibility.
This slight possibility is still very big in Li Qianqing's view. It is precisely because of this concept that whether it is Li Lilong or Li Qianyin, he has said that it is best to form an elixir before the age of two hundred. good.
Whether you are a person or a monk, sometimes you are very stubborn. Li Qianqing also understands that in Li Qianyin's view, there is actually not much difference between forming an elixir before the age of two hundred and forming an elixir after the age of two hundred. Li Qianyin has done this more than once She told him that she had never thought that she would be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in her lifetime, and even reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before she was two hundred years old.
“I’m still saying the same thing, Brother Qianqing.” When he said this, Li Qianyin smiled again, “After two hundred years old, I suddenly found that I look pretty good. I am honest."
"Who dares to be disrespectful to you now in the Li family?"
"It's different, it's different." Li Qianyin still has some obsessions of her own.
At this time, Li Qianqing did not struggle with Li Qianyin on this issue. Everything relied on her.
“Fortunately, we have a big family now, otherwise it would be difficult to pass down my skills in this life.” Li Qianyin is really happy. There are many monks in the family who have the talent of refining weapons, including one with the talent of dual spiritual roots. It successfully broke through to the foundation building stage twelve years ago.
After there are more monks in the family, there will also be more clan members who are talented in the various arts of cultivation.
In addition to this weapon refiner in the early stage of foundation building, among the Qi refining monks, there are currently nine people who are influenced by her, including a family weapon refiner who is building a foundation. The number exceeded ten.
This is excluding her. If she is included, the figure is double digits.
Li Qianyin did not include herself in the calculation. The reason was very simple. She did not think that she could successfully form a pill. This seemed impossible to her.
Similar to her original thoughts, she has no regrets now.
Over the years, she has tried her best to refine two first-level low-grade magic weapons for her family. It happened that the family also gave birth to two pill-forming monks. Although Li Xunting cannot use the magic weapons she refined, she can give them to her. The next alchemy monk in the Li family.
“The art of weapon refining has been passed down. Three months ago, I was able to form an elixir successfully. There are four elixir-forming monks in my family. Now I am very satisfied.” Li Qianyin sat next to Li Qianqing. Conversation and laughter.
It was also because she was satisfied that she had no extravagant hope that she would be able to form a pill successfully.
“The family is getting better and better.” Li Qianqing looked at Li Qianyin and smiled.
On the road of cultivating immortality, monks who cannot go far can only stay where they are. It would be good if they could die in peace. In this aspect, Li Qianqing was very open-minded. He felt it was a pity for both Li Lilong and Li Qianyin. Give it a try before you are two hundred years old.
"Well, I believe it! Under your leadership, brother Qian Qing, our Li family will not only be the number one alchemy-cultivating family in the Zhao Kingdom, but will also be the number one immortal-cultivating family in the entire Five Kingdoms!" She has always been full of confidence in Brother Qian Qing.
To become the number one cultivating family in the Five Kingdoms, Li Qianyin also knew that he must be a Yuanying cultivating family.
Although she didn't have any confidence in forming the elixir herself, she felt that Li Qianqing would definitely be able to break the elixir and become a baby! Lead their Li family to continue to grow.
"There will be such a day." Li Qianqing nodded.
As for his family, his ambition is not to be the number one cultivating family in the Five Kingdoms.
But the entire mortal world...
Sunset and sunrise.
In the past hundred years, this was the longest chat between Li Qianyin and Li Qianqing.
In addition to the topics of the two themselves, many of them were talking about the family and the future development of the family.
"...That's almost it here." Li Qianyin stood up. She was already in a good mood, but she became even happier after chatting with Li Qianqing.
“I’ll send you to a place of seclusion and alchemy.”
“That’s natural. Brother Qian Qing still wants to sit here and just watch me fail?”

"Hahaha, no... no way." (End of Chapter)
