Rebirth of the Li Family

"Patriarch Li."

After Li Qianqing entered the reception hall, the two called out at the same time.

After he became the patriarch of the family, the two addressed him formally, especially in this occasion.

Whether it was Ma Xuanzong or Chen Changsheng, when talking to him alone, they might call him by his name, but now that both of them were present, it would be better to call him Patriarch Li.

"Xuanzong, Changsheng." Li Qianqing nodded to the two, motioned them to sit down and said, "Tell me about what you are looking for me for."

Before the two of them could speak, he added another sentence.

"If you need help, just tell me, our Li family will help according to the actual situation."

The Ma family and Chen family of Wutong County came to him, usually for the Sun family's affairs. Now in Wutong County, only the Sun family is a subsidiary of Tianhe Sect.

If the Ma and Chen families still don't come to him in the next few years, he will go over to ask about the situation.

If he succeeds in building his foundation and becomes a Jindan Xiuxian family, it will be difficult to help the Ma and Chen families. This is something that the foundation building Xiuxian family can do easily, but the Jindan Xiuxian family will not get involved in.

After becoming a Jindan cultivation family, if the Li family still helps the Ma and Chen families to deal with the Sun family, then the Tianhe Sect will intervene at this time, this is 100% certain.

Jindan-level forces basically will not participate in the struggle of foundation-building forces, just as foundation-building forces basically will not participate in the struggle of Qi-refining forces. Many Qi-refining cultivation families in Xiangshui County have conflicts. They fight each other, and as long as they don't collude with robbery cultivation, the Li family will basically not care.

But if other foundation-building forces dare to interfere in the affairs of their affiliated Qi-refining forces, the Li family will definitely take action.

These are some potential rules in the cultivation world of the Five Kingdoms. Under normal circumstances, everyone follows the rules. If you want to overturn the table, at least in a large area, you must have the absolute strength of a tyrant.

According to Li Qianqing, the Qianlin Land in the Nanming area is ruled by the Xianlin Sect, and the rules are all made by them. From the time he learned about the Xianlin Sect in the Qianlin Land to his ascension, the Xianlin Sect still has the final say there.

When Li Qianqing asked about this, Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng looked at each other and quickly answered.

"We think that the Sun family should be handed over to you, Patriarch Li, and our two families will be responsible for cooperation. After the Sun family is eliminated, the two spiritual veins outside their ancestral land will be taken by our family together."

After Wutong County developed into what it is now, the communication between the Ma family and the Chen family has deepened.

As for how to deal with the Sun family in the future, they discussed and discussed, and finally the two families reached a consensus that the Li family would take action and they would cooperate.

In fact, both of them want to take down the Sun family. At present, the Chen family has the advantage of being close, while the Ma family has the advantage of having a foundation-building cultivator.

But there is only one Sun family, and they only have one ancestral land.

Considering more practical situations, no matter which of the two families takes over the Sun family's ancestral land, they will be a little full and indigestion. Only the Li family has a big appetite, and there is also a Jindan elder as a backer in Qingfeng Valley, so it should be no problem to take over another Sun family's ancestral land.

The Li family has occupied a lot of spiritual veins. This time, Li Xingwei held a basic foundation-building banquet. The two families just wanted to see if the elders of the Qingfeng Valley would come. If they came, they would discuss these things with the Li family. If they didn't come, the two families would continue to discuss a better plan.

"Let me think..." Li Qianqing pretended to think.

If he didn't have the confidence to form a pill, after taking down the Sun family for a while, even if Yan Xuewei was their backer, there would still be foundation-building forces who would talk about this matter. After all, the Li family now has a lot of micro-spiritual veins.

After taking down the Sun family, he would form a pill again, and then absolutely no forces would say anything, and there was no pressure from Yan Xuewei.

Now that the Li family continues to expand, the main pressure is not on the Li family, but on Yan Xuewei.

Who told you, Yan Xuewei, to protect the Li family like this? If not you, who else would the pressure be given to.

"It's barely okay." Li Qianqing nodded and agreed in the end, and soon he added, "But now is not the time to take action."

Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng both expressed their understanding after hearing this.

After all, the Li family had been cooperating with them before, and they themselves did not have too many ideas about the Sun family. Suddenly, the two families said this, and it was normal for the Li family to take some time to prepare.

This also fits their impression of the Li family.

At present, they have not suffered any losses in cooperating with the Li family, and the Li family has not taken the initiative to ask for more things.

"Patriarch Li, our two families are waiting for your good news."

The three of them chatted briefly at the end, and Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng said goodbye. Li Xingsheng was responsible for seeing them off.

After Li Qianqing became the patriarch of the family, he did not do things as casually as before. If he was not the patriarch of the family, he would personally see Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng off in such a situation.

The reason why Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng came to him this time was not much different from what he guessed before entering the reception room.

It has been fourteen years since the destruction of the Chang family, a subsidiary force of the Tianhe Sect. During this period, the Ma family and the Chen family must have discussed how to deal with the Sun family. The reasons for not taking action for a long time are those points.

And now they are talking about this matter and asking their Li family to take over the Sun family's ancestral land. One important reason is that they are not afraid of what the Li family will do to them after they become more powerful.

This Li Qianqing could predict that since he became the core senior of the family, he has been guiding the style of the Li family. For a rapidly developing family, it is very important to gain the trust of many forces, so that the development can be smoother.

As they thought, after the Li family becomes stronger, as long as the Ma family and the Chen family do not have any problems and want to plot against them, their relationship with these two families will be the same as before.

Li Qianqing's guess almost covers their thoughts.

When the two families discussed, they got the same idea that the Li family's influence in Wutong County continued to expand, and they would not have any thoughts about them.

This is their feeling after getting along with the Li family, and it is also the actual situation.

This time, when discussing this matter with Li Qianqing, Li Qianqing also considered it for a while. If it were other top foundation-building immortal cultivation families, with the support of Jindan-stage cultivators, they would definitely agree directly, without having to think too much.

And Li Qianqing's thinking was within their expectations.

...

Two years later.

Li Qianqing, who had finished practicing, slowly opened his eyes. He had just refined another second-level upper-grade Shengling Pill.

After returning from his training, he spent more time on cultivation and took more pills.

Fortunately, there were ten spiritual medicines for refining the second-level upper-grade spiritual pills, which replenished the pills he had used up. Together with some of the redemption from the family treasury, it was enough for him to cultivate to the peak of foundation building.

According to his current cultivation plan, he can cultivate to the peak of foundation building in five or six years.

When he cultivates to the peak of foundation building, it will be time to unite the Ma family and the Chen family to attack the Sun family, and then he can concentrate on forming pills.

After changing from a top foundation-building immortal cultivation family to a forming pill immortal cultivation family, the demand for spiritual veins increased again. At that time, even if some foundation-building forces secretly had objections to them taking over the Sun family's ancestral land, they would eventually have no objections.

After taking over the Sun family's ancestral land, for a top foundation-building immortal cultivation family, they did occupy more spiritual veins, but for a forming pill immortal cultivation family, it was a little less.

Foundation-building forces cannot have small spiritual veins, but Dan-forming forces can. Now Changqing Mountain has nine micro spiritual veins, reaching the limit of the top foundation-building immortal cultivation families. After adding one more micro spiritual vein, there will be ten.

And ten micro spiritual veins can be merged into one small spiritual vein.

Shortly after Li Qianqing finished his cultivation, there was a knock on the door outside the cave.

"Come in."

The stone door opened, and the person outside was Li Qiuling.

"Thirteenth great-grandfather." After entering the cave, Li Qiuling bowed and called out.

"Yes, you have reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining." Li Qianqing immediately noticed Li Qiuling's cultivation. Among the dual spiritual root cultivators, Li Qiuling's cultivation speed is very fast, which is also related to the fact that he takes a lot of elixirs.

Li Qiuling is now the second only to him in the Li family. A large part of the family's first-level high-quality elixirs are entrusted to him for refining.

"If you cultivate to this level, you will be the core of the family."

Now the foundation-building seeds of the Li family have cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. If there is no accident, they will be the core of the family.

"Thank you, great-grandfather Thirteen." Li Qiuling bowed again after hearing this. After cultivating to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he came to Li Qianqing to become a core member of the family.

Although he has been with Li Qianqing for these years and learned alchemy, he has also been exposed to some of the core affairs of the family, but this is never the core.

Only by becoming a core member of the family can he be exposed to more core contents of the family.

"Qiuling, are you interested in breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Refining before building the foundation?" Li Qianqing asked.

Li Qiuling has a fire spirit root. At present, the only Qi Refining technique of the family can only be practiced by the core members with fire spirit roots. The first few dual spirit roots do not have fire spirit roots.

Compared with cultivators with more spirit roots, cultivators with fewer spirit roots have fewer choices in techniques.

Most techniques require a specific spirit root to practice.

"Tenth level of Qi Refining..."

Li Qiuling took a deep breath. So the family has a technique for tenth level of Qi Refining!

After nearly thirty years of cultivation, Li Qiuling was no longer a novice in cultivation. He knew very well what the tenth-level Qi Refining technique meant.

Except for the Zhao royal family, all other forces in the entire Zhao Kingdom had or did not have the tenth-level Qi Refining technique. Some forces in secret might have it, but it was definitely very few, and their family actually belonged to this very small part of the forces.

"If you practice to the tenth level of Qi Refining, plus the help of a foundation-building pill, you will have a greater chance of breaking through to the foundation-building stage, but it will take more time. You can think about it carefully." Li Qianqing did not rush Li Qiuling to make a decision. Whether to practice the tenth-level Qi Refining technique or not mainly depends on Li Qiuling's own wishes.

Li Qiuling is not yet forty years old. Even if he fails to build a foundation, he should have two or three opportunities to build a foundation again. After practicing the tenth-level Qi Refining technique, he will probably only have one chance to build a foundation again after failing to build a foundation.

"Thirteenth great-grandfather, I am willing to practice the tenth-level Qi Refining technique." Li Qiuling replied quickly.

It was too simple to weigh the pros and cons. He was not sixty years old. When his Qi and blood were about to decline, practicing the Qi Refining Level 10 technique would be of great benefit to him.

In addition to increasing the chance of breaking through the foundation building stage again, practicing the Qi Refining Level 10 technique would make him stronger than ordinary foundation building cultivators after entering the foundation building stage.

And at the stage of Qi Refining Level 10, he can build a foundation at any time. Of course, there is a Qi Refining Level 10 technique, and it is naturally best to practice to the peak of Qi Refining Level 10.

"Okay."

Li Qianqing entered the secret room in the cave and came out soon after. When he came out, he had a jade slip in his hand.

"This is the Qi Refining Level 10 technique. You absorbed it here."

"Yes, thirteenth great-grandfather." Li Qiuling took the jade slip from Li Qianqing's hand and first took a general look at this technique.

Grass and Wood Flame Art!

This is a technique that is mainly based on fire spirit roots and supplemented by wood spirit roots.

The hard condition of the technique is to have fire spirit roots. It is okay without wood spirit roots, but the speed of practice of this technique will be quite different between cultivators without wood spirit roots and cultivators with wood spirit roots.

Therefore, this technique is most suitable for cultivators with fire and wood spirit roots, and he, Li Qiuling, is such a cultivator with dual spirit roots.

"After practicing this technique, it will also be of great help to my alchemy." Li Qiuling's eyes lit up after reading the general introduction of the technique.

"That's right." Li Qianqing nodded. Li Qiuling understood it well.

Under Li Qianqing's gaze, Li Qiuling began to absorb the information of the technique.

After Li Qiuling absorbed the jade slip with the technique "The Art of Plants and Woods Producing Flames", the jade slip dimmed a lot.

The information in this jade slip can be absorbed three times in total.

About an hour later, Li Qiuling slowly opened his eyes. He had absorbed all the information of this technique.

He handed the jade slip back to his thirteenth great-grandfather. Finally, after the elders gave him a few instructions, he left.

He was going back to complete the transformation of the technique.

The technique he practiced before was also of fire attribute. The speed of converting spiritual power to the technique of "The Art of Plants and Woods Producing Flames" which was mainly fire spiritual root and supplemented by wood spiritual root was relatively fast. Of course, the fastest transformation was to the technique of pure fire spiritual root.

The transformation of the technique will take about four or five months to complete.

After the transformation is completed, he can try to break through the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Breaking through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level of Qi Refining is difficult for cultivators with three spiritual roots, but it is not difficult for cultivators like him with two spiritual roots.

Normally, he can successfully practice and break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

On the way back, Li Qiuling was already thinking about what would happen after he reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Thirteenth great-grandfather had told him that after practicing and breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Refining, he could not go out, and could only stay in Changqing Mountain, and not contact non-core high-level clansmen.

This was nothing to Li Qiuling, he was not the eleventh uncle. (End of this chapter)
