Rebirth of the Li Family

"I am Ma Xuanzong. I have wanted to meet Daoyou Li for a long time. I didn't expect that Daoyou Li would come to our Ma family." Ma Xuanzong appeared in front of Li Qianqing and said with a smile.

People who didn't know would think that he wanted to see Li Qianqing very much.

"Daoyou Ma's foundation-building banquet, I happened to be in seclusion refining pills, otherwise I would have come." Li Qianqing answered quickly. The first half of his sentence was true. He was indeed refining pills for Ma Xuanzong's foundation-building banquet.

Before coming to the Ma family, he had collected these basic information.

The current Ma family can probably be regarded as the bottom of the second-rate among the foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families in Zhao State. Its patriarch is at the peak of the middle stage of foundation-building, but he has not broken through. If he breaks through, it will be no problem for him to squeeze into the second-rate.

"Is that so? That's a pity, but it's okay. Didn't you come today, fellow Daoist Li?" When talking about the latter part, Ma Xuanzong also explained why he came, "My junior was stopped by me before he informed the second grandfather. After understanding the situation, I came down immediately."

Li Qianqing asked Ma Huanghao to inform the head of the Ma family, not him, Ma Xuanzong, so it is necessary to explain this matter to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.

Li Qianqing didn't care. In his opinion, as long as the foundation-building cultivator came down, the Ma family would be sincere, and it would be easier to talk about the future.

If the Ma family still let the Qi-refining cultivator come down, things might be different.

This is sending a signal to him that no matter what the Li family wants to do, they, the Ma family, don't want to have too much contact.

"So that's it." Li Qianqing nodded, "This is also a kind of fate."

"Yes, hahaha." Ma Xuanzong laughed, as if he was really happy.

After the two chatted briefly for a few words, Ma Xuanzong opened his mouth to invite him.

Now they were all chatting about trivial matters, and Li Qianqing came to their Ma ancestral land in person, so he must have something important to discuss.

"Friend Li, please go up and sit down. The clan leader should be waiting for you." After a little calculation, his second grandfather should be in the reception room now.

Even if he came down, he couldn't let the elders wait for too long.

"Okay."

Li Qianqing was waiting for Ma Xuanzong's words. Just like what Ma Xuanzong thought, he didn't come here to chat with Ma Xuanzong. What he said just now was basic etiquette, and although the matter he wanted to discuss was a big deal, it was not very urgent.

If he had to delay, it would be fine even if he came three months later.

Under the leadership of Ma Xuanzong, Li Qianqing soon came to the largest reception room of the Ma family.

This place is mainly for receiving foundation-building cultivators. If it is a Qi-refining cultivator, it is in a reception room near the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the head of the Ma family, Ma Tianxing, was sitting in the reception room.

Ma Tianxing looks like he is in his early sixties, judging by his appearance. In fact, he is almost 150 years old.

"Daoyou Li." When Ma Xuanzong brought Li Qianqing in, Ma Tianxing stood up from his seat.

"Meet Patriarch Ma." Li Qianqing said politely.

"It is better to meet than to hear about someone. I am very happy to meet Daoyou Li today!" Faced with Li Qianqing's politeness, Ma Tianxing was also polite.

But to be honest, Li Qianqing is indeed famous. It is said that the rise of the Li family is largely due to him. Now among the many foundation-building cultivators in the Li family, he is the future patriarch of the Li family.

After the Li family eliminated the Jiang family, the Ma family knew a lot more about the Li family.

Facing the overlord of the neighboring county, there are still five foundation-building cultivators in the family. The Ma family must know the information.

"Patriarch Ma, you are too kind." Li Qianqing said, with a smile on his face.

Ma Tianxing made this simple judgment and thought that what he said should be very useful to Li Qianqing.

"Daoyou Li, sit here."

"Okay."

When Li Qianqing sat down, Ma Tianxing and Ma Xuanzong also sat down. Ma Tianxing sat in the main seat, while Ma Xuanzong sat opposite Li Qianqing.

"Daoyou Li, do you have any important matters to discuss this time?" Ma Tianxing asked after sitting down.

He was indeed a little curious about what Li Qianqing wanted to do.

He had a little idea in his mind, but he was not sure that his idea was correct. Li Qianqing had to say it in person.

"This matter is simple, but very important. Our Li family can help the Ma family deal with the enemies or forces they want to deal with. At the same time, the Ma clan leader only needs to help our Li family have a place in Wutong County."

Their Li family promised Qingfeng Valley to intervene in the power disputes in Wutong County. This is a very risky opportunity. At the beginning, it is better to be careful. Many complicated things will not be discussed. Let's start with a simple discussion.

The so-called place is definitely not like the foundation-building immortal cultivation forces in Wutong County, which have a great influence on Wutong County. They only need to have influence now.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and the plan will be appropriately changed according to the future situation.

"Hahaha, it seems that fellow Daoist Li is no longer satisfied with Xiangshui County." Ma Tianxing laughed when he heard it.

While speaking, he also understood what the Li family wanted to do.

To put it bluntly, the Li family just wanted to intervene in the power dispute in their Wutong County.

It must be said that the Li family's ambition is really big. They just added a spiritual vein not long ago, and now they are extending their claws to Wutong County.

If he, Ma Tianxing, were the patriarch of the Li family now, he would definitely not do this. The current Li family is obviously more suitable for stable development. There are now four cultivators in the early stage of foundation building in the family. It is not too late to expand the power after two or more cultivators in the early stage of foundation building break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

At this time, the Li family has fewer obstacles to expand its power because its strength is stronger.

"Everything needs to be planned." Li Qianqing looked at the smiling Ma Tianxing, and then glanced at Ma Xuanzong opposite. It seems that there is still a chance for cooperation between them.

If there is no opportunity for cooperation, it is best for them to reject him directly.

"What do you think, Ma clan leader, are you interested in cooperation?" Seeing this situation, Li Qianqing did not say anything empty, but asked directly.

The cooperation between the two families is definitely good for the Ma family.

He has already said that their Li family will help the Ma family deal with their enemies or forces, which puts the most favorable conditions for the Ma family in front.

Among the forces in the outer counties, there is definitely no such generous conditions for the Ma family. Direct help means that if the Jiang family can invite the forces that have reached an agreement at that time, they don’t need to pay.

"Li Daoyou is so sincere, our Ma family is naturally interested." From his point of view, what Li Qianqing said is really particularly sincere.

The sincerity of Li Qianqing is only a secondary important factor for Ma Tianxing to say this immediately. The most important factor is the Li family itself.

In Xiangshui County, in addition to the Li family, a foundation-building immortal family, there is also a Huang family.

The news they inquired about was that the relationship between the Huang family and the Li family was very ordinary before. It was that after a cooperation, the relationship between the Huang family and the Li family was good. It was this relationship that made the Huang family live well now, and the Li family currently has no intention of moving them at all.

There is also the matter of moving the spirit veins. Facing the Qi-refining immortal forces that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family, the Li family did not eliminate them. If they were the Ma family, they would basically take action directly. At that time, the identities of these Qi-refining families could be the reason for them to take action.

All these show that the Li family cares a lot about their reputation and will not do anything dishonest. Cooperating with such a force is a kind of guarantee in itself.

Such a guarantee also makes Ma Tianxing feel more at ease. If it were a cultivator from the Jiang family who had not perished, Ma Tianxing would really think about it carefully when he talked about this matter. He has checked that compared with the Li family, the Jiang family's reputation is quite satisfactory, and it was like this before.

And the reputation of their Ma family is much better than that of the perished Jiang family, but there is still some gap compared with the current Li family.

"It's good that Patriarch Ma is interested." The other party has said this, indicating that the cooperation between the Li family and the Ma family has basically been completed, and the next thing to discuss is the details.

To what extent can the Li family help the Ma family, and to what extent can the Ma family expand the influence of the Li family in Wutong County, these can all be discussed in detail.

Before coming to the Ma family, Li Qianqing was 80% sure that this matter could be negotiated.

The reputation that the Li family had accumulated before played a decisive role, especially at such a time. Li Qianqing was very clear about this. No cultivator would like to cooperate with unstable forces. What if the other party stabbed you in the back? At this time, reputation is really important.

With this factor, the other party will at least feel at ease to cooperate with you.

Of course, Li Qianqing also investigated the situation of the Ma family. If the Ma family had a bad reputation, he would not come to the Ma family with such great sincerity. If he wanted to intervene in the power disputes in Wutong County, he would have to think of other ways.

In the next half hour, Li Qianqing and Ma Tianxing had an in-depth discussion on the cooperation. Ma Xuanzong, another foundation-building cultivator of the Ma family, also joined in.

Their discussion was quite fast, mainly because the Li family was very sincere, and the Ma family naturally couldn't be unkind.

Take the most important support as an example. Normally, the Li family can send a foundation-building cultivator to support. If there is a special situation, two foundation-building cultivators are no problem. As for the cultivators at the Qi-refining level, they are mainly in the late stage of Qi-refining. Normally, they can send five or six to support. The Li family can do it.

Faced with such a Li family, the Ma family is also very willing to join the Li family's plan to influence and expand.

As a foundation-building family of Wutong County, the Ma family is very clear about the situation in Wutong County.

Compared with other counties, the cultivation world in Wutong County is really chaotic.

Of course, no matter how chaotic the cultivation world is, it cannot affect mortals. This is a consensus except for the demon cultivators. Mortals are their foundation. Most of the cultivators' parents are mortals. There are very few real second-generation immortals, and even fewer are like Li Qianyin whose parents are cultivators.

The possibility of giving birth to a cultivator when a cultivator combines with a cultivator is only about one in ten.

The chaos in Wutong County is naturally not suitable for rapid development. Only Xiangshui County, where the Li family is now, can allow the power to develop better, especially for a hegemon like the Li family, which can develop faster. The five foundation-building cultivators of the Li family can be regarded as an achievement.

The Ma family also hopes that Wutong County can be stable, especially when their family and the Li family join forces. In this way, the biggest beneficiary in Wutong County is their Ma family.

"... Then it's settled." After discussing the results, Li Qianqing was also quite satisfied.

While they showed their sincerity, the head of the Ma family was also very sincere. Later, they would use the power of the Li family to let the Li family's power completely intervene in Wutong County.

And the best way to let the Li family intervene in Wutong County and expand their influence is to give the Li family a spiritual vein land.

"Hahaha, I was just thinking, this spiritual vein land is far away from Xiangshui County, will you mind, Mr. Qianqing?"

"It is a bit of a problem that it is far away, but according to what you said, Mr. Ma, this spiritual vein land is the easiest to fight for, and it is not so easy to take other spiritual vein lands. It is very important to have a spiritual vein land, and it is enough to have something that can be fought for. This spiritual vein land is also a springboard for our Li family in Wutong County." Li Qianqing spoke frankly. What he said was something that the Ma family could know, and it was also one of their sincerity.

He talked with the two foundation-building cultivators of the Ma family for so long, and the Ma family could understand what the Li family was thinking.

Even if he didn't say so, Ma Tianxing knew that having a spiritual vein land in Wutong County was very important for the Li family to intervene in the disputes in Wutong County in the future.

"I hope Mr. Qianqing's plan will go smoothly." Ma Tianxing nodded after listening.

They promised to give the Li family this spiritual land in four years.

In four years, they need to prepare well so that the next plan of their Ma family can go smoothly.

Li Qianqing can accept this time completely.

Now there are still three years before the trial of the four sects of Zhao State. Just when the trial of the four sects is over, their Li family has made greater movements in Wutong County, which is also conducive to stabilizing Qingfeng Valley.

Qingfeng Valley asked them to intervene in the trial disputes in Wutong County, not to let them slack off. If they keep slacking off, the next Qingfeng Valley elder who comes to the Li family's ancestral land may not be Yan Xuewei.

"Same as same." Li Qianqing smiled. The cooperation between the two sides is generally a win-win cooperation.

The Ma family is also ambitious, but their current strength cannot support their ambitions, so they need to develop further, and the help of the Li family can give them a lot of room for operation and let their plans come forward.

After that, both parties began to draft the cooperation matters, and then signed two copies of the spiritual book. This was somewhat like a contract, and it was considered a formality. If the other party really violated it, the worst result would be a decline in reputation, and it would be much more difficult to find a cooperative force in the future.

When the strength of the two parties was too different, this was meaningless, or the other party no longer cared about reputation.
