Chapter 450 Family Changes
Gan Mantang finally understood the intention of the demon-swallowing boy.
The idea came to him. It would be easy to give a first-level Qi Refining monk a greeting gift.
Thinking in his mind, Gan Mantang took out a pale white jade pendant, and under the control of his spiritual power, it flew to Li Yongfeng's hand.
"Before foundation building, you can bring this jade pendant with you. When you are in danger, it will actively activate the shield. Even for monks in the early stage of foundation building, it will be difficult to break it in a short time."
"Thank you, Uncle Gan!" Li Yongfeng thanked him immediately.
“Just do it.”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll take it back.”
“There’s no reason to take back what I’ve given away, and I’m not interested in it. Thank you very much." As he spoke, the demon-swallowing boy indicated with his eyes that Li Yongfeng could go back in.
Li Yongfeng nodded and bowed to the two of them before leaving.
"Looking at your cheerful look, you are very happy to take advantage of me?"
"There is no reason to take advantage."
"By the way...your precious apprentice If you don’t join us in Falling Demon Valley, you will have a lot of burdens in the future.”
“Don’t worry, the Li family is not leaving him completely to me.”
In fact, it’s about Li Yongfeng’s training. Regarding the resources, Li Qianqing said that he could hand them over to the Li family, but the Demon-Swallowing Boy himself was unwilling. Li Yongfeng said that he was his only disciple, so how could a master not take good care of his disciple.
In the opinion of the Demon-Swallowing Boy, this is the truth. If Li Yongfeng's training resources were all provided by him, it would be fine before the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. After the Foundation Establishment Stage, the resources needed would be much greater.
The idea of swallowing the demon boy is to train his apprentice to the elixir formation stage no matter what, before he sits down and passes away.
……
Forty-three years of Qingli.
In the forty-three years since the Qing Kingdom was established, the number of Li family monks doubled.
More than thirty years ago, the net growth of the Li family's monks was more than 20 people every year. Today, the Li family has five monks in the pill forming stage, thirty-six monks in the foundation building stage, and a sufficient number of monks in the qi refining stage. There are more than 1,300 people.
Regardless of the pill forming stage and foundation building stage, just the number of Qi Refining monks alone, the Li family can barely meet the standards for a royal family.
Li Qianqing looked at the current family data and nodded with satisfaction.
"There are twenty-seven people among the foundation-building seeds who have reached the late stage of Qi refining." In the list he looked at, these foundation-building seeds have never been foundation-building.
Among the monks in the Qi refining stage, the ratio between the eighth level of Qi refining and the ninth level of Qi refining is now relatively high, which is quite different from many forces.
"In another twenty or thirty years, the family's foundation-building monks will break through 50, and there will be no problem 80% of the time."
As the foundation-building seeds one by one reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, these can all be received for free. A foundation-building pill assists in practice.
After the Ordinary Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family grows and becomes a royal family, it is difficult to obtain the foundation-building resources for Qi-refining breakthroughs for free, especially the Foundation-Building Pills.
The Li family can achieve this because of Li Qianqing and Li Qiuben.
Every ten years, Li Qianqing would refine five furnaces of Foundation-Building Pills, one furnace every two years on average. In most cases, each furnace of Foundation-Building Pills contained five adult pills, and in a few cases, there were four.
There are more than twenty foundation-building pills in the family in ten years. Even at the current growth rate of monks, the number of dual-spiritual monks born in ten years does not exceed twenty. The extra foundation-building pills will either be auctioned and sold in exchange for spiritual stones. Either buy it directly from Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce.
If there is no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills, the family's Foundation Establishment Seeds can get a Foundation Establishment Pill for free if they reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Some foundation-building seeds with fire spiritual roots or golden spiritual roots will choose to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi refining before building a foundation.
The techniques for cultivating the fire spirit root to the tenth level of Qi refining were obtained by Li Qianqing during his Qi refining period, while the techniques for cultivating the tenth level of Qi refining with the Golden Spirit root were obtained after annihilating the Zhao royal family.
At present, in the entire country, it seems that only the royal family has the ability to practice to the tenth level of Qi refining.
After wiping out the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, the Li family has more choices for the cultivation techniques in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. There are not many in the Pill Formation stage, and there are not as many as those in the family treasury filled by Li Qianqing. The two together are quite impressive. , among the current forces in the entire three small kingdoms, only the royal family of the Lu Kingdom can compare with them in terms of the number of pill-forming techniques they possess.
As the number of monks in the family continues to increase, fewer and fewer monks are hired.
"...Sixty-one monks with foreign surnames."
Before becoming the royal family, there were only twelve monks with foreign surnames in the Li family. After becoming the royal family, the number of these monks basically increased by one every year. .
These monks can also be regarded as monks of the Li family. They married into the Li family and married into the Li family. Among them, there were fewer monks marrying into the Li family, and they all married after they became the new royal family.
None of these monks have double spiritual roots, and the male monks among them all have mixed spiritual roots.
This situation seems quite normal to Li Qianqing.
The talented monks prefer to become disciples of the sect, so that they can obtain more resources. The proportion of monks with outside surnames in the Li family is quite large, so it is better to marry into the Li family or marry into the Li family. Under difficult circumstances, this result was mainly due to the reputation of their Li family.
The likes of the children of the Li family and the approval of the family elders. Only by meeting these two most basic standards can one become a member of their Li family.
Compared to the latter, it is more difficult to get the true love of the children of the Li family.
Because the royal family of the Qing Kingdom, although the Li family's guidance and training is already very good, they still cannot avoid the situation where the family monks' vision is getting higher and higher. Some women from the family with mixed spiritual roots want to marry with a minimum of three spiritual roots, that is, according to It comes from Li Qianqing’s spiritual roots.
And it is even more difficult to marry them. So far, only two female nuns from the Li family have been able to marry, one from the Wutong Ma family and the Qingliu Liu family. These two families are related to the Li family. The family relationship itself is good, and it also gives their family opportunities.
The female cultivators of the married family have four spiritual roots, and those who marry them all have two spiritual roots, which are the foundation seeds of the Ma family and the Liu family.
Li Qianqing continued to look at some information about the current family.
At the same time, in Changting Mountain in Huangmin County, Li Xunting's aura changed. She had just broken through from the peak of the early stage of pill formation to the middle stage of pill formation.
Just a month and a half ago, Li Xunting started practicing in seclusion.
She has practiced harder in recent years. Many matters in Changting Mountain have been left to the family's foundation-building juniors to take care of. Compared with before, there are two more foundation-building monks on Changting Mountain. The extra two people are to help Li Xunting better manage Changting Mountain and the entire Huangmin County.
“Mid-stage pill formation!”
Although I encountered a little trouble during the breakthrough process, it was eventually resolved smoothly.
Overall, she completed her breakthrough relatively smoothly.
"The materials for practicing the secret technique "Liuhe Ice" have not been collected yet. Let's practice the sixth-grade spiritual technique "Tian Shuang" to a small degree first." After breaking through to the middle stage of pill formation, Li Xunting quickly had a plan.
There are a total of ten materials that need to be prepared to practice the secret technique. The Li family has collected materials below the fourth level one after another over the years. Even the low-grade fourth-level three-phase ice is still in the news.
In addition to asking for information, I also asked the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce for help.
Materials that can reach the fourth level are not that easy to collect. Even with the current ability of the Li family, it will take a long time.
In contrast, as long as the materials below the fourth level are not particularly rare, the Li family can basically collect them within five years after using their power. In terms of spiritual training, six years ago, when she was still in the early stages of forming pills, she began to practice her first sixth-grade spiritual art "Tian Shuang". After she reached the entry level, she felt that it took a long time, so she did not continue. Practice.
Even with the ice spirit body, it is still difficult to practice the sixth-grade spiritual arts in the early stage of pill formation. The difficulty she feels is still much easier than the ordinary monks in the early stage of pill formation to practice fifth-grade spiritual techniques.
In the next half month, Li Xunting will practice normally.
Until a family monk came up to report an important matter.
“Tell me, what’s the news?”
"Great aunt, Wu Yueya of the Wu family successfully formed the elixir."
"The Wu family...well, I understand. If nothing happens, just go down."
"Yes." Report the news The family monk disappeared the next moment.
The Wu family in Huangmin County is a top foundation-building and immortal cultivating family. When the Li family eliminated the Zhao royal family, the Wu family made a lot of efforts, especially in the period before they eliminated the Zhao royal family. Many things in Huangmin County are done by the Wu family.
After the founding of the Qing Kingdom, when the Li family was short of manpower, the Wu family also provided some help.
As an affiliated force of their Li family, Li Xunting was very satisfied with many things done by the Wu family, which at least made it easier for her to guard Huangmin County.
Now that Wu Yueya of the Wu family has successfully formed the elixir, no matter what she says, she has to go over first to give her blessings and talk about ancillary matters.
The previous royal family of the Zhao Kingdom did not have an annexed elixir-cultivating family, and no alchemy-cultivating family was willing to be affiliated with the Zhao royal family. Compared with the annexed sect, being affiliated with the Zhao royal family had too many constraints. It may even be further suppressed.
Soon Li Xunting took action.
When she arrived at the ancestral land of the Wu family, a middle-aged male cultivator from the Wu family who was in the middle stage of foundation building quickly came to greet her.
"Junior Wu Xingxiong pays homage to senior."
"Well, let's lead the way."
"Yes."
Wu Xingxiong has already prepared for Li Xunting's appearance.
People from the Wu family have already guessed that Li Xunting will come over after hearing that someone from their Wu family has formed a pill.
So Wu Xingxiong has been waiting for Li Xunting to appear.
Wu Yueya's success in forming an elixir means that the Wu family has officially transformed from a top foundation-building immortal cultivating family into an elixir-forming immortal cultivating family. To be precise, the Wu family's monks have been waiting for this step for almost four hundred years.
The future structure of the Qing Kingdom, with the emergence of the Wu family, will become one emperor, three sects and ten families.
Under the leadership of Wu Xingxiong, Li Xunting sat for a while and soon met Wu Yueya, a monk from the Wu family.
"Fellow Daoist Li." When she saw Li Xunting, Wu Yueya realized that she was no longer in the early stage of pill formation. "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for entering the middle stage of pill formation. One of the next monks in Qingguo's late stage of pill formation must be one of you."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu." Li Xunting nodded after hearing this, and then said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated Fellow Daoist Wu on the success of forming the elixir, but Fellow Daoist congratulated me first."
In Wu Yueya's impression Li Xunting is a serious person. If you can make her talk with a smile, even a little bit, it means that she has a good impression of you.
Through her communication with Li Xunting, she knew that she was recognized by Li Xunting, and she was very happy about this.
The two women chatted for a while before Li Xunting got down to business.
“After the Wu family becomes a pill-forming immortality cultivating family, I wonder what fellow Daoist Wu’s plans will be in the future?” Li Xunting asked.
"I don't have any plans, it's good just like this."
Wu Yueya knew that Li Xunting was asking her whether she should continue to be a subordinate force of their Li family or break away from the Li family.
She had already thought of the answer, and naturally she would continue to become a subsidiary force of the Li family.
If the current Li family were replaced by the Zhao royal family, then she would have another answer. However, if it were still the Zhao royal family, Wu Yueya didn't think she could form pills so smoothly and peacefully.
Perhaps during the process of forming the elixir, someone from the Zhao royal family might have disturbed me.
This kind of thing has happened before, and the reason why the Zhao royal family disturbed their Wu family monks' retreat is also funny.
The Zhao royal family was later replaced by the Li family. They really were not suppressed at all. They were much more comfortable than many independent foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families.
Of course, in the process of development, they must not have other ideas about the Li family, otherwise the consequences will be like the previous Zhao royal family.
"I think it is a good choice for your Wu family to replace our Li family and become the affiliated alchemy cultivating family of Qingfeng Valley." After getting Wu Yueya's answer, Li Xunting tried to say.
After the Li family became the royal family, their relationship with Qingfeng Valley was naturally not even superficially affiliated.
"If our Wu family could become an alchemy cultivating family more than fifty years ago, it would indeed be a good choice for us, but it is different now."
Wu Yueya is talking about Li inside and outside. Good home.
And Li Xunting became more and more satisfied with Wu Yueya's answer.
If the Wu family continues to be affiliated with their Li family, the resources they need to provide each year will remain the same.
The mutual affiliation between the Danjie forces is more of a cooperative relationship. Even if it is not a cooperative relationship, it is just a simple subsidiary relationship. Based on what the Wu family has done for their Li family before, they will not do anything to them. It adds extra resources.
There is an additional alchemy-cultivating family in the Qing Kingdom, but the overall structure is still the same as before.
This type of power structure will last for decades in the future.
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, there are only three years left before the Cang Realm opens.
Twenty-seven years have passed since Li Qianqing’s cultivation breakthrough reached the late stage of alchemy.
So far, the Cangyun Order in the hands of the Li family is still only two yuan. It was not until today that Li Qianqing received news from Lu Shangqing.
Li Qianqing’s smile after accepting the content of the transmission notes.
The closer we get to the opening of the Cangyun Realm, most of the Cangyun Tokens are already owned, and the chances of obtaining the Cangyun Tokens are getting smaller and smaller.
Originally, Li Qianqing thought that he would not be able to get the third Cangyun Token.
According to Lu Shangqing's news, he will go to Qingguo in about half a month and deliver the Cangyun Order to him personally.
