Chapter 237 Three Years

As early as when he entered the sixth level of Qi Refining, Li Xunming set a goal for himself to complete the breakthrough in December this year, and it is only November now.

If he completes the breakthrough two months earlier, he will have practiced for five years at most. He is only fifteen years old now and will be sixteen next year.

"Not bad." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Li Xunming's current practice speed is normal. If Li Xunming does not break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of sixteen with his help, it can only mean that he is still a little lazy.

"This is a reward for you. If you break through the seventh level of Qi Refining next year, you will not get this reward." Li Qianqing handed Li Xunming a storage bag. This is the reward he had prepared long ago. In addition to the first-level top-grade elixir, there is also a top-grade magic weapon and two wind-attributed spells.

He was not joking. Although this was a reward he had prepared long ago, if Li Xunming did not complete the breakthrough this year, this reward would be gone.

"Thank you, Grandpa Thirteen!"

Li Xunming took the storage bag and took a brief look at the contents.

He knew that Thirteenth Grandfather hoped that he could enter the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible, otherwise he would not give so many first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills.

He also knew a lot about the family over the years. He knew that the family was cultivating him as a Dan-forming seed, but even so, the things that Thirteenth Grandfather gave him were extra, and he wanted Thirteenth Grandfather to exchange them with his own contribution points.

He was engaged in very few affairs, and the family gave him more things every year. This was already the family cultivating him as a Dan-forming seed. The things that Thirteenth Grandfather gave would speed up the progress, and he certainly would not disappoint Thirteenth Grandfather's expectations of him.

"By the way, Thirteenth Grandfather, is the thing you said before still the same now?"

Li Xunming figured it out. Thirteenth Grandfather gave him so many things. Even if Thirteenth Grandfather regretted what he said before, he would not say anything, because after the foundation-building period, he could also do some of the things he wanted to do.

"Of course not. When has your Thirteenth Grandfather ever regretted what he said?" Li Qianqing knew what Li Xunming was referring to as soon as he heard it. "Now that you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, you can go anywhere in Xiangshui County, but you still have to pay more attention to safety and keep a low profile when you go out."

"As for the allocation of cultivation, I don't have to worry about your performance over the years." When he said this, Li Qianqing set a goal for Li Xunming, "Cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining within ten years, there should be no problem with this."

Compared with the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, the speed of cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining is very slow, but for Li Xunming, a cultivator with different spiritual roots, he still has the elixir he gave him, so it is actually relatively simple to achieve the goal he set.

Just considering some of Li Xunming's situations, he thinks it is more reasonable to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining within ten years.

For a cultivator with a personality like Li Xunming, it is not good to push him too hard, and he wants to relax a little.

"Of course, no problem, Thirteenth Grandpa. Not only that, I will cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before I am thirty!"

"That's better." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction. The goal he set for Li Xunming was different from the goal set by Li Xunming himself.

He was restraining himself, and with his personality, there was no pressure.

"If you have difficulties in cultivation, you must come to me, Thirteenth Grandpa."

"Yes, Thirteenth Grandpa." Li Xunming nodded.

"Well, now you can do whatever you want. If you want to leave Xiangshui County, you still have to wait until you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining." Finally, Li Qianqing reminded him.

Li Xunming said he understood and left.

Another purpose of the goal he set for Li Xunming was to give some sense of crisis to the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators who were still high-level. As for the high-level cultivators of the seventh level of Qi Refining, Li Xunming did not break through, and they also had a certain sense of crisis, because there were seventh-level Qi Refining cultivators in the family who were working hard to cultivate after the rules were changed.

As long as they break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the original seventh-level high-level cultivators have not completed the breakthrough, their high-level status will be cancelled, and the treatment of high-level cultivators will naturally be cancelled.

Now that Li Xunming has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, they have enough sense of crisis, and even exceeded it.

The result of exceeding will make some high-level cultivators of the seventh level of Qi Refining not want to work very hard to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, especially some seventh-level cultivators of Qi Refining with four spiritual roots. For them, it is only a matter of time before their high-level status is cancelled. With the disadvantage of spiritual roots, they are lucky to be able to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Li Qianqing will spread the news of Li Xunming's entry into the late stage of Qi Refining within the family, and the main target is the high-level cultivators of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He still hopes that they can enter the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

With such cultivation, there may be a chance to enter the foundation-building period when they reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Although the chance is a little small, it is better than having no chance at all after the decline of Qi and blood.

The time came to the beginning of December.

If it snows in this month, it is basically heavy snow.

Many family leaders have already known the news that Li Xunming has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"I know Xunming is a cultivator with different spiritual roots, but isn't his cultivation speed a little too fast? If you calculate the time, he is not even sixteen years old."

"It's true that he is not sixteen years old. I think it's normal for a person with different spiritual roots to have such a cultivation speed. The family is cultivating Xunming as a seed for forming a pill. Maybe you haven't specifically inquired about the cultivation speed of cultivators with different spiritual roots, so you think he is cultivating fast... In the family, apart from Qianqing, he is the most likely to succeed in forming a pill."

Li Qianqing is very legendary. The cultivators of the Li family no longer regard him as a normal cultivator with three spiritual roots.

The cultivators cultivated by the family later have also been included in the story of Li Qianqing. In the eyes of the younger generations born in the past, Li Qianqing is even more legendary.

"No matter what, I have to enter the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible, otherwise my status as a family leader will be cancelled." For a cultivator of the first generation of the Li family who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, it is better to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

When the rules were changed before, Li Xundi, who had two spiritual roots and posed the greatest threat to them, had already entered the late stage of Qi Refining and became a member of the Li family. Therefore, no matter how fast he cultivated, it would not affect them.

So the family changed the rules at that time, and they thought it was very reasonable. The family had already considered the cultivators of the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining.

No one could have imagined that Li Xunming, a cultivator with different spiritual roots, would appear in the family later. At first, they thought it was nothing, until Li Xunming entered the seventh level of Qi Refining. The situation was completely different. If it continued like this, maybe it would not take ten years for Li Xunming to become a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

And by this time, all cultivators below the ninth level of Qi Refining were no longer high-level members of the family.

"You are already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, you will still be a family leader after you break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"No, you are wrong. Once you lose your status as a family leader, you will have fewer resources every year, and your cultivation speed will be slower. In this way, I might have entered the foundation-building period, but I will have a few years less, and the situation will be completely different."

"Okay, that's what happened."

The eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators of the Li family now spend more time on cultivation every month because of Li Xunming. This is also their limit. If they spend more time on cultivation, they will become completely ascetic cultivators and give up all entertainment.

Those who can get happiness from ascetic cultivation are excluded.

"Seventh brother, have you heard that the junior of the Xun generation has cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"I know about this situation." He was the first cultivator to enter the seventh level of Qi Refining after the family rules were changed.

That is to say, after he cultivates to the eighth level of Qi Refining, the cultivators who broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining earlier than him will cancel their status as family leaders, and they will have to wait until they cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before their status as family leaders can be restored.

"Hahaha, now I want to know whether you, Seventh Brother, will enter the eighth level of Qi Refining first, or this junior will reach it first."

"No matter who reaches it first, some clan members will lose their status as family leaders." When he said this, he said confidently, "If we really have to compete, I think I will cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining first. As for cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then making some clan members lose their status as family leaders, it depends on him."

"It seems that Seventh Brother, you have already liked this feeling. I was right at the beginning."

In this December, many clan members were discussing about Li Xunming's breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining, especially the clan members of the eighth level of Qi Refining. Li Xunming's breakthrough had the greatest impact on them.

The seventh level of Qi Refining cultivators were relatively unaffected, because after the rules were changed, the first Li family cultivator who broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining was not far from the eighth level of Qi Refining.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed since Li Xunming broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In early February.

The weather was no longer so cold and gradually warmed up.

Li Qianqing had just absorbed the medicinal power of a second-level lower-grade Shengling Pill and completed his daily practice.

He checked the current situation in his Qi Sea, "Next year, I can practice to the peak of the early stage of foundation building."

Li Qianqing planned to complete the breakthrough soon after practicing to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, so next year is also the time for him to enter the middle stage of foundation building.

The last time he refined the second-level middle-grade Shengling Pill, the final result was 478 pills. He put 298 Shengling Pills into the clan library, and he still had 180 pills left.

Because he had refined second-level pills before, and the difficulty of refining second-level middle-grade pills was not as great as the difference between second-level lower-grade and first-level upper-grade pills, so it was nothing for him to have a slightly higher success rate when refining the second-level middle-grade Shengling Pill for the "first time".

After breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, he will use the second-level middle-grade Shengling Pill to assist in practice. Now he has the second-level middle-grade Shengling Pill, which is enough for him to practice to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

In addition to the second-level middle-grade spiritual pill, he still had a lot of second-level low-grade spiritual pills that he hadn't dealt with, but he wasn't in a hurry. Second-level pills could be stored for a long time, and second-level middle-grade spiritual pills could be stored for even longer. If there was no way to extend the shelf life, second-level middle-grade spiritual pills could be stored for two hundred years.

At present, some of the special jade bottles in his hands could extend the shelf life of the pills, so that their medicinal power would not dissipate too early. In this way, the second-level pills could be kept in his hands for a longer time. In the future, as his strength increases and his family continues to develop, it will become easier for him to deal with these pills.

After refining this pill, Li Qianqing could continue to practice, but left the cave.

He will be able to cultivate to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building next year. Among the four cultivators in the initial stage of foundation building in the family, the first one to cultivate to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building is still the fourth uncle Li Lilong. When the core family meeting was held last year, Li Lilong was very close to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building.

If nothing unexpected happens, the fourth uncle should have cultivated to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building now.

As for when he will break through to the middle stage of foundation building, this is not something that Li Qianqing can estimate. Whether to break through depends more on himself. Maybe he will break through directly when he feels it.

It is also difficult to break through from the peak of the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building. Some cultivators will be stuck here for a long time before they can break through. If the first breakthrough fails, it will take a long time before they can try to break through again.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of last year, there was no high-level cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining in the family.

The first cultivator who entered the seventh level of Qi Refining after the rule change is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining. When he broke through, the seventh-level cultivators in the family who had not yet broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining directly cancelled their status as high-level. Now if they want to become high-level members of the family again, they must cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

As a cultivator with different spiritual roots in the family, Li Qianqing is more concerned about Li Xunming's progress in cultivation.

Li Xunming is still at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he is not far from the eighth level of Qi Refining. He will definitely be able to enter the eighth level of Qi Refining this year.

If he cannot enter the eighth level of Qi Refining this year, then he may not be able to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty.

Judging from the current situation, Li Qianqing is still very confident in Li Xunming.

"Thirteenth uncle, the cultivator of the Ding family wants to see you."

Before Li Qianqing returned to the cave, the cultivator of the Xing generation who was guarding the mountain gate appeared in front of him.

"Well, bring him up."

"Yes."

Li Qianqing came to a reception room, waiting for the cultivator of the Ding family to come up.

After their Li family owned the spiritual vein land in Wutong County, they mainly developed and used the spiritual vein land to obtain more cultivation resources.

They have been very quiet in the past few years.

Li Dihong has not had any contact with other forces in Wutong County. The nearby Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation Family Forces are the same as what they thought, and they have not taken the initiative to contact them.

This is what the Li family wants to see now. Before the Ma family makes any big moves, such silent development is beneficial to their Li family.

"Hello, senior." The cultivator in charge of delivering the message from the Ding family has appeared in front of Li Qianqing.

"Well, sit down."
