Half a month after Li Qianqing's Yuanying banquet.
The Yue royal family held a high-level meeting, and all the alchemy monks were present.
“Is the news confirmed?”
“It is absolutely true that the Lu royal family has become an affiliated alchemy force of the Qing royal family! It seems to have become during Li Qianqing’s Nascent Soul Banquet , or maybe earlier.”
“No matter what the Qing royal family was like before, after the Jie Dan force becomes the Yuanying force, the strategy will change to some extent, and the Lu royal family will become the Qing family. I think it is the right decision to become a subsidiary force of the imperial family.”
"I don't think so. If the Li family wanted to change their strategy, they would have changed it long ago. Don't forget that when Li Qianqing was in the late stage of pill formation, he had half the strength of Nascent Soul. The royal family of Lu State was completely overly worried. Now he has become the leader of the Li family. The subordinate Jiedan forces have to provide too many resources every year.”
Because of this matter, the senior officials of the Yue royal family began a heated discussion.
When the news emerged that the Lu royal family had become a subsidiary formation force of the Qing royal family, all the senior officials of the Yue royal family present knew what to do.
They need to decide the future direction of their family and discuss whether to become a subsidiary alchemy force of the Qing royal family like the Lu royal family.
I think what should be done is to take precautions before they happen and devote resources to ensure stability.
I don't think they will become an affiliated alchemy force of the Li family. They think that as long as they don't take unnecessary actions, the Qing Kingdom royal family will not do anything to them.
"According to what you said, it is true. If we don't do anything, the Qingguo royal family will not take action against us to a large extent. But you seem to have forgotten one thing. If Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen both take the initiative to become What should we do about the forces affiliated with the Li family?”
After this question was raised, many family leaders present fell silent.
They were thinking.
There is a deep conflict between the Yue royal family and Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen, and the grievances and resentments among them are also complicated.
In order to better deal with the Yue royal family, it is not ruled out that Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen will really do this.
If they do this, with the help of the Qingguo royal family, they are likely to fall into passivity.
“The Qingguo royal family is not stupid, they will not intervene in our struggle.”
“But Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen have really become affiliated forces of the Qingguo royal family, even if the Qingguo royal family really If the royal family of the country does not take action against us, it is difficult for us to take action against them, let alone destroy them."
Because the conflict between the royal family of the Yue Kingdom and the two major Jiedan sects is deep.
When Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect were proposed, the voices opposing becoming an affiliated alchemy force of the Qing Kingdom royal family became smaller and smaller.
"Anyway, the Lu royal family has become a subsidiary force of the Qing royal family. Now the Qing royal family is also a Nascent Soul-level force. It is normal for the Jiedan force to become a subsidiary force of the Yuanying force."
< br>"I have no objection to becoming an affiliated force of the Qing Kingdom royal family. I just hope that the resources spent every year can be less."
"This is not something we can decide. The amount of resources is decided by the other party...still Yes, the less resources we have contributed also shows that we are not sincere. We have to provide resources every year anyway, and it would be more harmful to us if we want to save some.”
The discussion will come later.
The future strategy of the Yue royal family has basically been determined. They must first become an affiliated core formation force of the Li family, and then they can find ways to continue to deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen.
Having the big tree of the Qingguo Li family can also ensure that they maintain a greater advantage in the competition with the two major Jiedan sects.
After the meeting.
Some senior officials of the Yue royal family could not help but sigh.
Ever since they became monks, they have never thought that one day in the future, their Yue royal family will become a subordinate force.
After they became a subsidiary force of the Li family of Qing State, it showed that the Li family of Qing State had the ability to indirectly influence the world of immortality cultivation in Yue State.
Of course, the Qingguo Li family, as a Nascent Soul cultivating family, can have an impact on their Yue Kingdom cultivating world as long as they think about it and put in a certain amount of energy.
…
After the Lu royal family became a subsidiary force of their Li family, Li Qianqing was not surprised when Yue Zhongming, the ancestor of the Yue royal family, appeared in front of him.
He guessed that the Yue royal family would take action after hearing that the Lu royal family had become their affiliated force.
No, he has already come to the door.
"Senior Li, after our Yue royal family becomes your affiliated force, you don't need to help us deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen. We can do it ourselves." When he said this, Yue Zhongming's voice His face was rather solemn.
Li Qianqing couldn’t help but smile.
He heard the meaning of the other party's words.
Don’t interfere in the world of Yue Kingdom’s immortality.
The smile on Li Qianqing's face was gentle, but before he spoke, Yue Zhongming would not think that this matter was done.
"Of course there is no problem." Whether it was the world of immortality in the Lu Kingdom or the world of immortality in the Yue Kingdom, Li Qianqing did not want to devote too much energy.
Whether it is for him or the Li family, everything is fine as usual.
With Li Qianqing’s agreement, Yue Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief. But after Li Qianqing said two words, he felt relieved.
“But when your Yue royal family encounters difficulties, we will still help you. After all, you are already our vassal.”
"Thank you, Senior Li!" Yue Zhongming thanked him immediately after hearing this.
For him, this sentence is undoubtedly pie in the sky. If he had known that Li Qianqing was so easy to talk to, they would not have to hold a high-level meeting. He, the ancestor, could just make the decision directly.
“You’re welcome.”
Seeing that Li Qianqing was really easy-going, he talked more after the bell rang.
The Li family does not interfere with their affairs in the world of cultivating immortals across the country, and also provides them with a safety guarantee. Although they basically do not need this safety guarantee, it is definitely better than none.
It was getting close to dusk, and the bell rang before leaving. He still had some unfinished thoughts.
Talk to Li Qianqing, a senior in the Nascent Soul stage, and he now knows that there are many benefits.
After Yue Zhongming left, Li Qianqing asked people to pass on the news that the Yue royal family was attached to them.
Being affiliated with the royal families of the two countries, no matter what the actual situation is, in the eyes of others, the Li family already controls the three small countries.
This is normal. After all, the Li family is already a Yuanying cultivating family, the only Yuanying force in the entire three small countries.
......
It is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the eighty-fifth year of the Qingli calendar.
It has been seven and a half years since Li Qianqing broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
For more than seven years, the three small countries have become more peaceful than before, especially in the country of Yue. Normally, every three or five years, there will be a small friction among the alchemy forces therein.
Compared to the three small countries, Fanyan Country is in a different situation. There was originally a conflict between two Nascent Soul forces, but it turned into four unconsciously.
Liu Mingjuan of Wuyue Palace had long been determined to be in retreat to enter the Nascent Soul stage. She had been in retreat half a year before he used the power-transmitting talismans, and has been in retreat for eight years now. On this day, Li Qianqing had just finished practicing the second skill of the "Three Skills of Destroying Gods", the secret skill of spiritual consciousness, when he received the transmission note from the demon-devouring boy.
Li Qianqing didn’t need to think too much to know what this transmission note was telling him.
After receiving the information from the transmission notes, just as he thought, the monks from Fallen Demon Valley will gather and head to the misty rainforest in a month.
If you want to go to the Misty Rainforest, you must set the most basic conditions in Fallen Demon Valley, and your cultivation must reach the middle stage of foundation building.
If your cultivation level is too low, going to the misty rain forest will give the evil cultivators there a corpse.
“We will leave for Fallen Demon Valley in a few days.”
After entering the Nascent Soul stage, his traveling speed has naturally increased. Now he is heading from his ancestral land to Fallen Demon Valley in the easternmost part of the Ming Dynasty. Valley, it doesn’t take much time.
Going to the misty rain forest, his main purpose is to obtain the Li Shenmu, and by the way collect the auxiliary elixir for refining the fourth-level low-grade Chongyang Pill.
After more than seven years of collection, the family now refines the Chongyang Pill, but there are still two elixirs missing, one is the third-level high-grade Chishui wood, and the other is the third-order mid-grade Tianchi grass.
Among them, the Red Water Tree is likely to be harvested in the Misty Rain Forest.
Although the misty rainforest in the region is rich in spiritual trees, the places where these spiritual trees are born are basically full of dangers.
Before leaving the Qing Kingdom for the Ming Kingdom, Li Qianqing also informed some of the core members of the family about his trip to the Misty Rainforest.
After the core executives on Changqing Mountain learned about it, he went to Huangmin County and Weishui County, mainly to tell Li Xunting and Li Xunming about the situation.
After Li Xunting learned about the situation, she asked him to be more careful. She had heard about the Misty Rain Forest. It was incomparable to the Five Kingdoms. It was almost a world of evil cultivators, and there were very few monks practicing normal techniques. .
After Li Xunming learned about the situation, he hoped to go to the misty rainforest with Li Qianqing to practice and practice himself.
"Grandpa Thirteen, can you take me with you?" Li Xunming looked at Li Qianqing expectantly.
"Yes, yes, but there is a condition."
"What conditions? Tell me."
"I will use 30% of my strength to test what you are best at If you can escape my pursuit, I will take you to the misty rainforest." Li Qianqing put forward his condition with a smile.
"Ah... let's forget it."
If it were a normal Yuanying early stage monk who exerted 30% of his strength, Li Xunming would still be very confident in escaping from him. If his opponent was Grandpa Thirteen, even if he only exerted his strength Even with 20% strength, he has no confidence.
It seems that Grandpa Thirteen doesn’t want him to go to the misty rainforest for the time being.
After knowing what Grandpa Thirteen meant, Li Xunming did not talk about this topic in the subsequent chat, and asked Li Qianqing more questions about his cultivation.
The reason why he cannot go to the misty rainforest is simply because he is not strong enough now and is not proficient in escape methods.
In the next few decades, while cultivating to the peak of pill formation, Li Xunming plans to further improve his own escape methods, so that during the pill formation stage, the early Nascent Soul monks will not be able to capture him even if they pursue him with all their strength.
The core members of the family who needed to be met met and what needed to be said was said. After a few days, Li Qianqing officially left for the Ming Dynasty to fall into the Demon Valley.
In the early stage of Nascent Soul, he can now cross the tributaries of the Ming River with ease. The Ming clan under the Ming River, as long as they have not reached the fourth level, will not want to attack a Nascent Soul in most cases. Monk.
When crossing the Ming River this time, Li Qianqing felt the aura of the Ming clan, and the other party did not dare to show his face.
After crossing the tributary of the Ming River, he did not restrain his current aura and headed directly to the Valley of the Fallen Demon. With his current speed, even if he restrained his aura and encountered a calamity cultivator in the pill formation stage, he would not be tempted to take action against him.
Jie Xiu was always more careful when robbing and killing monks. A situation like Li Qianqing's was definitely not among their prey.
The easternmost part of the Ming Dynasty is also the easternmost part of the Five Kingdoms.
Even here, only part of the area is within the influence of Fallen Demon Valley.
Although it is an old Nascent Soul-level force, the scope of influence of Falling Demon Valley is much smaller than that of the new Nascent Soul force, the Li family. In addition to Falling Demon Valley, the three The total area of small countries is not as large as the influence of any Nascent Soul force.
The influence of Falling Demon Valley is so large. Both the Ming Dynasty royal family and the Tiandao Sect are very sensible and will never touch any part of Falling Demon Valley. They even hope that Falling Demon Valley will expand its influence a little bit. This place is also to strengthen this opening to prevent the invasion of evil cultivators in the misty rain forest.
"Senior Li, please come this way!"
Li Qianqing had just arrived at Falling Demon Valley, and the monk guarding the mountain gate recognized him at a glance. Apparently, the Demon Swallowing Boy had already told him.
"Yes."
The disciples of Fallen Demon Valley looked at him with a sense of admiration. They were not monks from Fallen Demon Valley, coming to participate in the Demon Falling Valley's battle against the evil cultivators in the Misty Rainforest. Regardless of the opponent's level of cultivation, this is worthy of admiration.
There are also many Nascent Soul monks in the Misty Rainforest, so even if the Nascent Soul monks go to the Misty Rainforest, they are still at risk of falling.
Under the leadership of the disciples from Falling Demon Valley, Li Qianqing quickly arrived at the residence of the Demon Swallowing Boy.
"Senior, I will send you here."
"Go and do your work."
"Yes."
Li Qianqing has just left. Stepping forward, he saw a shadow flash in front of him, and the demon-swallowing boy appeared in front of him.
"Brother Qianqing, I've only arrived now, and I thought you weren't coming." The demon-swallowing boy joked.
"Hahaha, brother, as the patriarch of my family goes to another area, I have a lot of things to explain. I haven't become a retired old guy in the family yet." Li Qianqing also joked about himself.
“If you are an old guy, then who am I?”
“I am an old boy.”
“That’s true.”
If you don't have a good relationship with the demon-swallowing boy, if you dare to call him "old boy", he will definitely become anxious with you, and may even take serious action. It doesn't matter if you say he is old, but you must not call him young.
Talk while walking.
The Demon-Swallowing Boy told him about the monks who went to the Misty Rainforest in the Demon-Destroying Valley this time.
There are now three Nascent Souls in Falling Demon Valley. The Nascent Souls who went to the misty rainforest this time, in addition to the demon-swallowing boy, were also the demon-slayer Taoists in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The title Taoist Demon Slayer was given to himself after he killed ten evil cultivators.
He is the strongest in the Fallen Demon Valley. He has participated in three operations to exterminate evil cultivators in the misty rainforest before, and this is the fourth time. According to his current longevity, he will still have the opportunity to go there in his lifetime. The fifth time.
There are twenty-two Alchemy-forming monks in the entire Falling Demon Valley. This time, there are fifteen who went to the misty rainforest with the two Nascent Souls, accounting for 70% of the Alchemy-forming monks.
As for the monks from the middle stage of foundation building to the peak of foundation building, about half of the monks at this stage will be dispatched.
Every time the evil cultivators are annihilated, the cultivators left behind in Falling Demon Valley are less than 40% of their original comprehensive strength. (End of this chapter)
