Chapter 214 Cooperation matters and the two companies’ situations

Wutong County.

In the reception room of the Ding family.

In addition to Li Xingsheng and Ding Yuanchun, there is also a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

This female cultivator is Ding Yuanxin, the current patriarch of the Ding family.

The patriarch of a family does not necessarily have to be a male cultivator. As long as they are capable and skillful, female cultivators can also become the patriarch of a family. However, in the cultivation world of the Five Kingdoms, most patriarchs of families are still male cultivators.

If the two are at the same level to choose a patriarch, male cultivators are preferred.

Qi Refining Level 7.

Li Xingsheng noticed Ding Yuanxin's cultivation at the first time. Judging from the appearance of this Ding family patriarch, he is much younger than Ding Yuanchun.

"I heard from my second brother that Li Daoyou came to our Ding family to discuss some cooperation matters?" Ding Yuanxin asked with a smile after sitting down without waiting for Li Xingsheng to speak.

"Yes." Li Xingsheng nodded.

"I don't know what made our Ding family catch the eye of the Li family." Ding Yuanxin continued to smile, and it seemed that she was talking about something very easy with Li Xingsheng. "In Xiangshui County, the Li family is the undisputed master. Even in our Wutong County, there are many cultivators who know the reputation of the Li family."

Later, she also praised the Li family a few words, but what she said was also true. After all, the current affairs in Xiangshui County are basically decided by the Li family. The other family of foundation-building immortal cultivation can only follow the Li family.

She knows more information than Ding Yuanchun. The Huang family of Xiangshui County seems to have been maintaining its relationship with the Li family.

"As far as I know, the Ding family has no backers in Wutong County." The backers that Li Xingsheng refers to are naturally the foundation-building immortal cultivation families, and the other party must understand.

"Does Li Daoyou's family want to become our backer?"

"No, I'm here to seek cooperation with you. If the Ding family wants to become a subsidiary of our family, I'll tell them after I go back."

The latter half of the sentence was just a remark by Li Xingsheng. This is Wutong County, not Xiangshui County. It is not good for the Ding family to become a subsidiary of their family, but it will be more beneficial to their Li family.

The Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation Family will become a subsidiary of the Foundation Building Immortal Cultivation Family. The main purpose is to seek the protection of the Foundation Building Immortal Cultivation Family. If it is not within the influence of this Foundation Building Immortal Cultivation Family, such protection is meaningless.

Compared with the previous Li family, the influence of the Li family has expanded a lot, but it is still in Xiangshui County.

It can be said that the Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation Family in Xiangshui County is not at a loss to be affiliated with the Li family. The closer to the Li family, the more they should become their subsidiary forces.

"I won't bother you, Fellow Daoist Li. Our Ding family is doing very well right now, and we are not considering becoming a subsidiary." Regardless of whether Li Xingsheng came to test her opinion, cooperation is something that can be considered, but being a subsidiary is absolutely impossible. "Even in Wutong County, the Ding family has not become a subsidiary of other immortal cultivation families."

At the end, Ding Yuanxin emphasized a sentence, which was considered to be a clear statement of her attitude.

If the Li family is trying to persuade the Ding family to become a subsidiary of the Li family, it is a meaningless thing, and she will never agree.

As the head of the Ding family, she knows very well that becoming a subsidiary immortal cultivation family of the Li family is not only difficult to obtain the most basic and timely protection, but more importantly, such an identity cannot bring convenience to the family in Wutong County.

The influence of the Li family has not yet affected Wutong County. The robbery cultivators in Xiangshui County may be afraid of the Li family. They basically will not touch the forces related to the Li family, and the robbery cultivators in Wutong County will not give the Li family face.

"Then let's not talk about it, let's talk about cooperation." Li Xingsheng smiled. He didn't intend to do so.

When he was negotiating with Thirteenth Uncle, he mentioned this matter, but Thirteenth Uncle said that this was a meaningless matter in itself, and the Ding family of Wutong County would definitely not agree. If they were to talk, they should talk about possible cooperation matters.

"Okay." Ding Yuanxin nodded, "How does Fellow Daoist Li want to cooperate?"

As the head of the Ding family, when encountering such a thing, you must first listen to the conditions proposed by the other party. Can their Ding family do it? If they can't do anything, refusing is the best choice.

The Li family is not stupid. If they only want to get benefits, it is best not to do anything. In the end, when the cooperation is broken, they are also in danger.

No Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family would want to be targeted by a foundation-building force.

"What we want is all kinds of intelligence about Wutong County. Your Ding family must provide it at least twice a year. You can collect intelligence within your capabilities, especially some important information about changes in power. You must tell us as soon as possible..."

If you cooperate with a foundation-building family, it is almost impossible to get all their intelligence. The other party will probably hide some of it. If it hides key information, it will be bad. The other party is just a Qi-refining family. Although their ability to collect intelligence is weaker, they will not choose to conceal it.

It is not good for them to conceal it. If they do, they may have to bear the wrath of the foundation-building family.

"...And our Li family can help you deal with the Zeng family."

The Zeng family is also a Qi-refining family in Wutong County and does not get along with the Ding family.

This is some information that the Li family has found. As for whether the Ding family wants to eliminate the Zeng family, perhaps only the internal members of the Li family know.

"Is that so." Ding Yuanxin did not agree or refuse immediately, but began to think.

She seemed to understand what the Li family wanted to do.

If she guessed correctly, the Li family came to their Ding family just to borrow their Ding family's hand and then participate in the power dispute in Wutong County.

The purpose of the Li family doing this is definitely to expand... and according to the information she has learned, it has not been a long time since the Li family took over Xiangshui County, and now the Li family wants to intervene in Wutong County.

This shows how ambitious the Li family is.

There are definitely risks in cooperating with such a family, but once the Li family succeeds, their Ding family can also gain a lot of benefits.

They have heard of the reputation of the Li family. Normally, the Li family will give them rewards after they help them, and will not kick them away directly.

"There is no need to deal with the Zeng family yet." Their Ding family and the Zeng family have conflicts, but they have not yet reached the point of destroying each other. Judging from the tone of Li Xingsheng's words, the Li family can help them destroy the Zeng family.

"Maybe it's not necessary now, and no one can tell in the future. As long as the Ding clan leader is willing to cooperate, what I said will always be valid. You can tell me when you need our Li family's help to deal with the Zeng family."

"It can be seen that fellow Daoist Li is very sincere." Ding Yuanxin felt comfortable listening to what Li Xingsheng said. If the conflict between their Ding family and Zeng becomes bigger in the future, they may indeed use this, so she naturally has no intention of refusing.

Because in her heart, she is not averse to cooperating with the Li family.

The main reason is that the Li family has a good reputation. In this way, there will definitely be some basic stability when the two sides cooperate.

Of course, she is also clear about the risks of cooperating with the Li family. Introducing external foundation-building and immortal cultivation forces is a risky thing in itself, which is not conducive to the survival of their Ding family in Wutong County.

"Daoyou Li, I want to ask you something. I will make a choice after knowing the answer."

"Please go ahead."

"Will the Li family come to our Ding family?"

"Your Ding family is the only Qi-refining family." Li Xingsheng thought about it and said that he could tell him, but he didn't know whether the cooperation with the foundation-building family would be successful, and there was no need to tell the current Ding family.

At present, the head of the Ding family has not agreed.

"In this case, we agree to cooperate on behalf of the Ding family, but there is one condition." Ding Yuanxin stood up and said. With Li Xingsheng's words, they are more likely to get benefits in the future.

Their benefit is naturally that when the Li family completely affects Wutong County, they will be protected by the Li family when they cooperate with the Li family, and they don't have to pay tribute every year. You have to know that the annual tribute consumes a lot of spirit stones, especially for the Li family, which now has five foundation-building cultivators.

"Every five years, the Li family needs to refine a top-grade magic weapon for us for free, and we will provide the materials." Ding Yuanxin knew that the Li family had a foundation-building period weapon refiner.

Five years to refine one, this condition is not excessive, she knows it in her heart.

"Okay." Li Xingsheng nodded.

Ding Yuanxin did not touch the bottom line told by Thirteenth Uncle at all.

This shows that the head of the Ding family knows the limit. If the conditions touch the bottom line, he will directly refuse to leave.

Cooperation must be sincere. Their Li family is sincere. If they don't know the limit when dealing with greed, there is naturally no need to talk about it. The potential risk of cooperating with such a patriarch to lead the family will be higher.

You must have your own judgment on this matter.

If there is no judgment at all, Li Qianqing will not be at ease to hand over this task to him.

"Happy cooperation!" Li Xingsheng also stood up and came to the head of the Ding family. At this time, Ding Yuanchun did not continue to sit.

He did not speak during the whole process of discussing cooperation, because the patriarch handled it very well and there was nothing wrong. If he felt there was a problem, he would definitely speak up.

"I will." Ding Yuanxin smiled.

Their cooperation was verbal, so the sincerity and reputation of both parties were very important. When the Qi Refining Force cooperated with the Foundation Building Force, the former was destined to be the weaker party.

The two talked about some details next.

Then Ding Yuanxin sent Li Xingsheng away. At this time, Ding Yuanchun did not go with him, but waited for the clan leader to come back.

"Sixth sister, Li Xingsheng agreed readily. I think you want less."

After Ding Yuanxin came back, Ding Yuanchun said that the more he thought about it, the more he felt a pity. If he asked for more, it would be better.

If Li Xingsheng had not agreed readily, he might not have thought so.

"Second brother, these are enough. It is not good for us to ask for too much. There are foundation building cultivators to help us refine the top-grade magic tools. Most of the refined ones are top-grade. We can save a lot of spirit stones on the magic tools."

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that if this cooperation goes well, the development of our Ding family will also be smooth. Maybe we will become a top Qi Refining family in the future..."

Ding Yuanxin imagined the future, which was all under the condition that everything went well.

There are certain risks in doing anything. Compared with the benefits, this risk can be taken. The key is that the reputation of the Li family is worth their cooperation.

"Okay, you are right."

...

Earlier.

Before Li Xingsheng arrived at the Ding family, Li Qianqing had already arrived at the Ma family.

The sky was just getting light at this time.

Compared with the cooperation with the Qi Refining Cultivation Family, the cooperation with the Foundation Building Cultivation Family will be more helpful for them to intervene in the power disputes in Wutong County. Li Xingsheng's cooperation with the Qi Refining Cultivation Family can fail, but he must succeed in this one.

The Ma family at least sent people to attend the foundation-building banquet, and they also wanted to be on good terms with them. Cooperation should not be possible, after all, they would not make excessive demands.

Li Qianqing has always believed that the basis of cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win, and only such cooperation can last long. When he planned to cooperate with the Ma family, he had already thought of many things that would benefit the Ma family.

"Foundation-building cultivator."

The cultivator guarding the gate of the Ma family muttered to himself when he saw the cultivator falling from the sky in the distance, and then he waited for Li Qianqing to come.

Their Ma family is a foundation-building cultivator family, and they also have foundation-building cultivators. If they were a Qi-refining cultivator family, he would have run over to greet them now.

When Li Qianqing walked to the front of the mountain gate, he asked.

"May I ask who the senior is?" He had never seen this foundation-building cultivator, nor had he seen a portrait or anything like that. It is very likely that he was not a cultivator from their Wutong County.

"Li Qianqing from the Li family needs to see your clan leader. Please inform him."

"No trouble, senior, you are too polite." Hearing this, Ma Huanghao developed a good impression of Li Qianqing. No foundation-building cultivator had ever spoken to him like this before. "I will go and inform the clan leader. Please wait here."

He moved very quickly and disappeared in an instant.

He was stopped before he arrived at the clan leader's cave.

"Huang Hao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Uncle Jiu, I am going to see the clan leader. Senior Li Qianqing from the Li family is at the foot of the mountain." Ma Huanghao stopped and answered.

There are two foundation-building cultivators in their Ma family. In addition to the clan leader, there is Ma Xuanzong, who has entered the foundation-building stage not long ago, so he called his uncle Jiu.

"Li Qianqing is coming to us..." Ma Xuanzong thought for a while, then said, "You let the clan leader go to the reception room first, and I will pick him up from the bottom of the mountain."

"Yes, uncle Jiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Huanghao used the light body technique again to go to the clan leader's cave.

Ma Xuanzong disappeared on the spot.

The Li family came to the Ma family during the foundation-building period, and it was Li Qianqing, whose reputation in the Li family was second only to the clan leader. Ma Xuanzong was quite curious about what he was doing in the Ma family.

This made him think of a piece of news. The two Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families in Xiangshui County that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family had their micro-spiritual veins in their spiritual vein lands removed by the Li family.

The foundation-building and immortal cultivation families in the neighboring counties basically knew about this news, but many Qi-refining families were not aware of it. The news from the neighboring counties would not reach their ears unless it was particularly important and the cultivators discussed it enthusiastically. In addition, they had to pay attention to some movements of the Li family like the foundation-building and immortal cultivation families to learn about such news.
