Rebirth of the Li Family

Half a month after Li Qianqing's Yuanying Banquet.

The Yue Kingdom Royal Family held a high-level meeting, and all the Jindan cultivators were present.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"It is true. The Lu Kingdom Royal Family has become a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing Kingdom Royal Family! It seems that it became so during Li Qianqing's Yuanying Banquet, or it may be earlier."

"No matter what the Qing Kingdom Royal Family was like before, after changing from a Jindan force to a Yuanying force, the strategy will more or less change. I think it is the right decision for the Lu Kingdom Royal Family to become a subordinate force of the Qing Kingdom Royal 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 Li Qianqing had half the strength of a Yuanying when he was in the late Jindan period. The Lu Kingdom Royal Family was completely overly worried. Now that it has become a subordinate Jindan force of the Li family, there are too many resources to be supplied every year."

Because of this incident, the high-level officials of the Yue Kingdom Royal Family began a heated discussion.

When the news that the Lu Kingdom Royal Family became a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing Kingdom Royal Family appeared, the high-level officials of the Yue Kingdom Royal Family present understood what to do.

They need to decide the future direction of the family and discuss whether to become a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing royal family like the Lu royal family.

They think that what they should do is to take precautions before it happens and spend resources to ensure stability.

They think that if they do not become a subordinate Jindan force of the Li family, the Qing royal family will not do anything to them as long as they do not make any extra moves.

"According to your statement, it is indeed correct. If we do not do anything, the Qing royal family will not take action against us to a large extent. But you seem to have forgotten one point. If Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen take the initiative to become affiliated forces of the Li family, what should we do?"

After this question was raised, many family leaders present were silent.

They were thinking.

The Yue royal family has deep conflicts with Chenyu Villa and Tianfengmen, and the grievances are 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 power of the Qing royal family, they are likely to fall into a passive position.

"The Qing royal family is not stupid, they will not intervene in our struggle."

"But if Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect really become affiliated forces of the Qing royal family, even if the Qing royal family does not take action against us, it is not easy for us to take action against them, let alone destroy them."

Because the contradiction between the Yue royal family and the two major Jindan sects is very deep.

When Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect were brought up, the voices against becoming a Jindan force affiliated with the Qing royal family became smaller and smaller.

"Anyway, the Lu royal family has become an affiliated force of the Qing royal family. Now the Qing royal family is also a Yuanying-level force. It is normal for the Jindan force to become an affiliated force of the Yuanying force."

"I have no objection to becoming an affiliated force of the Qing royal family, but I hope that the resources paid every year can be less."

"This is not something we can decide. The amount of resources is decided by them... In addition, if the resources paid are less, it also means that we are not sincere. Anyway, we have to provide resources every year. It will be more disadvantageous for us to save some."

Discussed later.

The future strategy of the Yue Kingdom Royal Family has been basically determined. First, they must become a subordinate Jindan force of the Li family, and then they can find a way to continue to deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect.

With the Qing Kingdom Li family as a big tree, they can also ensure that they maintain a greater advantage in the competition with the two major Jindan sects.

After the meeting.

Some high-level members of the Yue Kingdom Royal Family sighed.

Since they became cultivators, they have never thought that one day in the future, their Yue Kingdom Royal Family will become a subordinate force.

After they became a subordinate force of the Qing Kingdom Li family, it means that the Qing Kingdom Li family has the ability to indirectly influence the Yue Kingdom Xiuxian world.

Of course, as a Yuanying Xiuxian family, the Qing Kingdom Li family can also have an impact on their Yue Kingdom Xiuxian world if they want to and put in a certain amount of effort.

…

After the Lu Kingdom Royal Family became a subordinate force of their Li family, Li Qianqing was not surprised by the Yue Kingdom Royal Family ancestor Yue Zhongming who appeared in front of him.

He guessed that the Yue Kingdom Royal Family would take action after hearing that the Lu Kingdom Royal Family had become their subordinate force.

Look, they have come to the door.

"Senior Li, after our Yue Kingdom Royal Family becomes your affiliated power, we don't need you to help us deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Gate, we can do it ourselves." Yue Zhongming's face was rather solemn when he said this.

Li Qianqing couldn't help but smile.

He heard the meaning of the other party's words.

It's just not to interfere with the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world.

The smile on Li Qianqing's face was gentle, but before he spoke, Yue Zhongming would not think that this matter was settled.

"Of course no problem." Whether it was the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world or the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world, Li Qianqing didn't want to divide too much energy.

Whether it was for him or for the Li family, everything would be fine as usual.

Yue Zhongming was relieved to get Li Qianqing's consent, and then Li Qianqing just said two words, and his heart was shocked.

"But if your Yue Kingdom Royal Family encounters difficulties, we will still help, after all, you are already our affiliates."

"Thank you, Senior Li!" Yue Zhongming thanked immediately after hearing this.

For him, this sentence was undoubtedly a piece of cake. If they 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 have made the decision directly.

"You're welcome."

Seeing that Li Qianqing was really easygoing, Yue Zhongming said more after that.

The Li family did not interfere in the affairs of the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, and also gave them a security guarantee. Although they basically did not need this security guarantee, it was definitely better than nothing.

Yue Zhongming left when it was almost dusk, and he was a little reluctant.

After chatting with Li Qianqing, a senior in the Nascent Soul stage, he now realized that there were many benefits.

After Yue Zhongming left, Li Qianqing asked someone to pass on the news that the Yue Kingdom's royal family was affiliated with them.

With the affiliation of the two royal families, no matter what the actual situation was, in the eyes of others, the Li family had already controlled the three small countries.

This was normal, after all, the Li family was already a Nascent Soul cultivation family, the only Nascent Soul force in the entire three small countries.

…

The fifteenth day of the first month in the eighty-fifth year of the Qing calendar.

It had 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 been more peaceful than before, especially in the Yue Kingdom, where the Jindan forces would have small frictions every three or five years.

Compared with the three small countries, Fanyan Country is a different situation. There were originally two Yuanying forces in conflict, and it became four without knowing it.

Liu Mingjuan of Wuyue Palace had already decided to retreat to the Yuanying stage. She had been in retreat half a year before he used the sound transmission talisman, and now she has been in retreat for eight years.

On this day, Li Qianqing had just finished practicing the second of the divine consciousness secret technique "Three Wonders of Destroying Gods" when he received the sound transmission talisman from the Devouring Demon Boy.

Li Qianqing didn't need to think too much, and he knew what the sound transmission talisman was telling him.

After receiving the information in the sound transmission talisman, as he thought, the cultivators of the Fallen Demon Valley would gather and go to the Misty Rain Forest in a month.

To go to the Misty Rain Forest, the Fallen Demon Valley set a most basic condition, that is, the cultivation level must reach the middle stage of the foundation building.

If the cultivation level is too low, going to the Misty Rain Forest is like sending a corpse to the evil cultivators there.

"I will leave for the Demon Valley in a few days."

After entering the Nascent Soul stage, his travel speed naturally increased. Now it doesn't take too much time for him to travel from his ancestral land to the Demon Valley in the easternmost part of the Daming Kingdom.

His main purpose of going to the Misty Rain Forest is to obtain the Lishen Tree and collect auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining the fourth-level lower-grade Chongyang Pill.

After more than seven years of collection, he still needs two spiritual medicines to refine Chongyang Pill, one is the third-level upper-grade red water wood, and the other is the third-level middle-grade Tianchi grass.

Among them, the red water wood is likely to be harvested in the Misty Rain Forest.

Although the Misty Rain Forest in the region is rich in spiritual wood, the places where these spiritual woods are born are basically full of dangers.

Before leaving Qing Kingdom for Daming Kingdom, Li Qianqing also informed some core members of the family of his going to the Misty Rain Forest.

After the core members of 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 understood the situation, she told him to be more careful. She had heard of the Misty Rain Forest. It was nothing like the Five Kingdoms. It was almost the world of evil cultivators. There were very few cultivators practicing normal skills.

After Li Xunming knew the situation, he hoped to go to the Misty Rain Forest with Li Qianqing to train himself.

"Grandpa Thirteen, can you take me with you?" Li Xunming looked at Li Qianqing expectantly.

"Yes, but there is a condition."

"What condition? Tell me."

"I will use 30% of my strength to test your best means of escape. If you can escape my pursuit, I will take you to the Misty Rain Forest." Li Qianqing smiled and proposed his conditions.

"Ah... forget it then."

If it was a normal Yuanying early stage cultivator, Li Xunming would still be very confident to escape from him if he exerted 30% of his strength. If the opponent was Grandpa Thirteen, he would not be confident even if he only exerted 20% of his strength.

It seems that Grandpa Thirteen does not want him to go to the Misty Rain Forest for the time being.

After knowing what Thirteenth Grandfather meant, Li Xunming did not talk about this topic in the following chats. He asked Li Qianqing more questions about cultivation.

The reason why he could not go to the Misty Rain Forest was nothing more than that his current strength was not enough and his escape methods were not proficient enough.

In the next few decades, while cultivating to the peak of the Jindan stage, Li Xunming planned to further improve his escape methods, and try to be in the Jindan stage, so that even if the Yuanying early stage cultivators chased him with all their strength, they could not take him down.

He met with the core high-level members of the family who should be met, and said what he should say. After spending a few days, Li Qianqing officially set off for the Fallen Demon Valley of the Daming Kingdom.

As a Yuanying in the early stage, it can be said that it is easy for him to cross the tributary of the Ming River. As long as the Ming Clan under the Ming River has not reached the fourth level, in most cases, they will not want to attack a Yuanying cultivator.

When crossing the Ming River this time, Li Qianqing felt the breath of the Ming Clan, and the other party did not dare to show up.

After crossing the Ming River tributary, he did not restrain his current aura and went directly to the Demon Valley. At his current speed, even if he restrained his aura and met a Jindan-stage robber cultivator, he would not think of attacking him.

When robber cultivators rob and kill cultivators, they are always more careful. A situation like Li Qianqing is definitely not their prey.

The easternmost part of the Ming Kingdom is also the easternmost part of the Five Kingdoms.

Even here, only some places are within the influence of the Demon Valley.

Although it is an old-fashioned Yuanying-level force, the influence of the Demon Valley is much smaller than that of the new Yuanying force, the Li family. In addition to the Demon Valley, the three small countries combined are not as large as the influence of any Yuanying force.

The influence of the Falling Demon Valley is so large that both the Ming imperial family and the Tiandao Sect are very sensible and will never touch the Falling Demon Valley. They even hope that the Falling Demon Valley will expand its influence a little bit, and also strengthen the loophole that prevents the invasion of the evil cultivators of the Misty Rain Forest.

"Senior Li, please come this way!"

Li Qianqing had just arrived at the Falling Demon Valley, and the cultivator guarding the mountain gate recognized him at a glance. Obviously, the Devouring Demon Boy had already told him.

"Yes."

The disciples of the Falling Demon Valley looked at him with admiration. It was not their cultivators of the Falling Demon Valley. They came to participate in the elimination of the evil cultivators of the Misty Rain Forest. No matter how much the other party's cultivation was, it was worthy of admiration.

There were also many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Misty Rain Forest, so even if the Nascent Soul cultivators went to the Misty Rain Forest, there was a risk of falling.

Led by the disciples of the Falling Demon Valley, Li Qianqing soon came to the residence of the Devouring Demon Boy.

"Senior, I'll take you here."

"Go get busy."

"Yes."

Li Qianqing had just taken a few steps when he saw a shadow flash in front of him, and the Devouring Demon Boy appeared in front of him.

"Brother Qianqing, you're here now, I thought you weren't coming." The Devouring Demon Boy joked.

"Hahaha, brother, as the patriarch of my family, I have a lot of things to tell you when I go to another area. I haven't become the retired old man in the family yet." Li Qianqing also joked about himself.

"If you are an old man, then what am I?"

"Old boy."

"That's true."

If you don't have a good relationship with the Devouring Demon Boy, if you dare to call him an old boy, he will definitely get angry with you, and even take action. It doesn't matter if he says he is old, but you must never say he is young.

Chatting while walking.

The Devouring Demon Boy told him about the monks who went to the Misty Rain Forest from the Fallen Demon Valley this time.

There are three Yuanying in the Falling Demon Valley now. In addition to the Devouring Demon Boy, the Yuanying going to the Misty Rain Forest this time also includes the Demon Slayer Taoist in the middle stage of the Yuanying.

The name of the Demon Slayer Taoist was given to himself after he killed ten evil cultivators.

He is the strongest in the Falling Demon Valley. He has participated in three operations to the Misty Rain Forest to eliminate evil cultivators before. This time is the fourth time. According to his current Yuan Shou, he will have the opportunity to go for the fifth time in his lifetime.

There are a total of 22 Jindan cultivators in the entire Falling Demon Valley. This time, there are 15 who went to the Misty Rain Forest with the two Yuanyings, accounting for 70% of the Jindan cultivators.

As for the cultivators in the middle stage to the peak of the foundation building, about half of the cultivators in this stage were dispatched.

Every time the evil cultivators were eliminated, the cultivators left in the Falling Demon Valley were less than 40% of the original comprehensive strength. (End of this chapter)
