Chapter 283 Two families on the same day

"The elder of the Shi family..." Li Xundi thought for a moment. The other party came here now, and it was normal for him to come here for the purpose of affiliation.

At the beginning of last year, after the Li family took over the management rights of the Xiangshui County Cultivator Market from the Zhao Kingdom Royal Family, almost half a year later, he began to spread this matter in Wutong County according to Li Xunting's instructions.

He is not yet a core member of the family.

After he informs Li Xunting of his breakthrough, he will soon become a core member of the family.

After becoming a core member of the family, he will not have to wait for Li Xunting to give instructions on some important matters. He will naturally learn about it at the core meeting of the family.

"Take him to the reception room, I will wait for him there." Li Xundi thought for a while and ordered.

If it was the head of the Shi family who came, he would go out to meet him in person, but if the other party was just an elder, there would be no need for this.

The head of the Qi Refining Family rarely leaves the spiritual vein of the family. If it was really the head of the Shi family who came, it meant that the Shi family attached great importance to this matter. In fact, it would be fine if the elder came. According to his investigation, the elders of the Shi family are all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. Apart from the patriarch, these elders are the most powerful in the family.

"Yes." Li Xunyu nodded, and then congratulated, "Congratulations to the fifth brother for cultivating to the peak of Qi Refining."

"Yeah." Li Xundi nodded, and couldn't help but say, "But this is not the peak of Qi Refining, it's just the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining."

After saying that, Li Xundi shook his head slightly.

He was influenced by Li Xunting. I don't know why Li Xunting always said that the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can't be called the peak of Qi Refining. He also knows that there are tenth-level Qi Refining, but are there many such cultivators? It seems that only the Zhao royal family in Zhao has a tenth-level Qi Refining technique.

"That's right." Li Xunyu did not refute.

"Go quickly." Li Xundi didn't say much, no explanation.

After watching Li Xunyu leave, he went to the reception room of Luoyun Valley.

In Wutong County, spreading the news that the Li family had obtained the management rights of the cultivator market was also expanding the influence of the Li family in Wutong County, because this meant that the Li family was further strengthened.

The cultivator market in Wutong County was participated by three forces. In addition to the Zhao royal family, there were Qingfeng Valley and Tianhe Sect. The foundation-building forces had nothing to do with it.

The Zhao royal family had the greatest influence, because they had more than half of the Wutong County cultivator market.

The cultivators or forces who knew about this would feel that the Li family was even more powerful. You should know that it had not been long since the Li family became the overlord of Xiangshui County.

Normally, a foundation-building force would become the overlord of a county. This position of overlord would last for a hundred years before it could obtain the management rights of the cultivator market from the Zhao royal family. During this period, they would at most share some of the market's income.

Not long after Li Xunyu sat down in the reception room, Li Xunyu brought the elders of the Shi family here.

"Fellow Daoist Xundi." When the elder of the Shi family saw Li Xundi, he called out cheerfully. People who didn't know him would think that he and Li Xundi were very familiar with each other.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, please sit down." Li Xundi made a gesture of invitation.

The elder of the Shi family nodded and sat down cheerfully.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, why did you come to our Li family today?" After a few pleasantries, Li Xundi asked directly.

He had some guesses in his mind as to why the elder of the Shi family came here today, but he still wanted the elder of the Shi family to tell him the details.

A visitor is a guest. Even if the other party is a very weak Qi-refining force, Li Xundi will show a welcoming attitude.

"It's like this, fellow Daoist Xundi, our Shi family is interested in becoming a subsidiary force of your family." The elder of the Shi family paused and continued, "I just don't know what specific conditions are needed now?"

The Qi-refining immortal cultivation family becomes a subsidiary force of the foundation-building immortal cultivation family, basically seeking shelter.

In response to the Qi Refining Family's request for protection, the Foundation Building Family mainly collects spirit stones or resources every year. In the eyes of the Qi Refining Family, this is a tribute.

"First of all, you cannot take the initiative to cause trouble within three years. For example, being suddenly attacked by robbers does not count. Before you officially become a subsidiary of our Li family, we will also conduct a comprehensive investigation of your Shi family..." Li Xundi said a lot, making the conditions clear and clear.

If the conditions that the Shi family elders told him were not understood, or needed more detailed explanations, he would continue to explain.

The Shi family elders nodded while listening.

In his opinion, the conditions that Li Xundi said were all reasonable.

He was able to come to the Li family's Luoyun Valley and say that their Shi family wanted to become a subsidiary of the Li family. They also conducted more investigations on the Li family.

In the information they collected, it was shown that the Li family was a responsible foundation-building family of immortal cultivation. In addition, last year, the Li family was still in the hands of the Zhao royal family and obtained the management rights of some cultivators' markets in Xiangshui County, which can show the current strength of the Li family.

A responsible and powerful foundation-building force is the backer that a family like his needs.

The Li family is responsible and reliable, but that doesn't mean they are willing to be a sucker. They accept any Qi-refining force. For example, if the family itself is in crisis and comes to seek the protection of the Li family, they need them to contribute from the beginning. Under normal circumstances, they will definitely not accept it.

Li Xunyi said it very clearly, and also expressed the sincerity of the Li family to those forces that want to be affiliated with them.

The elders of the Shi family came here with the sincerity of their Shi family. Regarding the problems mentioned by Li Xundi, their Shi family did not have any. They are a very normal Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family. They just feel that Wutong County may change in the future, so they want to become a subordinate force of the Li family.

"... Finally, the resources that need to be handed over every year."

When he heard this, the elders of the Shi family became more serious. He just wanted to know how many resources their Shi family needed to supply every year to satisfy the appetite of the Li family.

If it was too much, their Shi family would also give up the idea of ​​seeking protection from the Li family.

The Shi family made such a decision because they felt that becoming a subordinate force of the Li family might have better security and development in Wutong County. If too many resources were supplied, the family would develop more slowly.

They have to strike a balance between security and development. As long as they are safe, they don't want development. This is not what their Shi family wants.

"I need to know the annual resource output of your Shi family." Li Xundi did not say the unified standard of the Li family.

The situation in Wutong County is different from that in Xiangshui County, especially in terms of resource collection, it is best to be based on the situation of a family.

"Yes." Obviously, the elder of the Shi family was prepared.

He took out a piece of paper from his storage bag, and used the object control technique to make the paper fall steadily in front of Li Xundi.

"Fellow Daoist Xundi, please take a look."

Li Xundi looked at the resources that the Shi family could produce every year. Based on their basic assessment of the Shi family, he could roughly judge what the Shi family needed to hand in every year.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones, two thousand kilograms of white corn, and finally thirty small sunflowers." After Li Xundi put down the paper, he said the resources that the Shi family needed to provide every year.

According to the current size and strength of the Li family, handing in these things every year is already considered a small amount. This is in Wutong County. Li Xundi also made a judgment based on the situation of the Shi family.

The current family strategy is to try to collect some Qi-refining affiliated forces in Wutong County. If the family strategy is changed, the Qi-refining forces in Wutong County want to become affiliated forces of their Li family in the future, the conditions will change.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Shi?" Li Xundi looked at the elder of the Shi family and smiled.

"No problem, thank you, Fellow Daoist Xundi." The elder of the Shi family thanked him directly.

The Shi family has a bottom line for the resources to be offered. The Li family is very sincere in accepting the Shi family. At the beginning, it is more reasonable than he thought to say that the resources to be offered are offered. Since the other party is so sincere, he, the elder of the Shi family, has no reason to bargain, so he directly thanked Li Xundi.

His actions at the end can also show his satisfaction.

"Well, since you agree, after our investigation results come out, we will sign an affiliated agreement with your Shi family without any problem." Li Xundi said this, hoping that the Shi family can smoothly become an affiliated force of their Li family.

The elders of the Shi family nodded. They were not afraid of the specific investigation of the Li family because they had no problem, so they would also be an affiliated force of the Li family in the future.

After discussing the business, the two chatted about some other topics. These were all small talk and did not have much substantive meaning.

When the elder of the Shi family saw that it was almost done and was about to leave, Li Xunyu came to the reception room.

After Li Xunyu nodded.

Li Xunyu came to Li Xunyu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Fifth brother, the cultivator of the Ding family wants to see you."

The Ding family is a Qi-refining and immortal cultivation family that cooperates with the Li family in Wutong County.

Since Luoyun Valley has three micro-spiritual veins and Li Xunting guards Luoyun Valley. The Li family has the influence of the foundation-building forces in Wutong County, and the cooperation with the Ding family does not need to be the same as before.

At present, the useful information that the Ding family can provide to the Li family is getting less and less. If it continues like this, the cooperation will be terminated.

'If the Ding family wants to give information, they should go to Changqing Mountain now... The Ding family sent cultivators directly here, they don't want to be affiliated with us...'

Li Xunyu can only think of these for the time being.

The previous cooperation between the Li family and the Ding family was well concealed, but it is not important for the current Li family. It mainly depends on the Ding family's own intentions. If they don't want to be exposed, the Li family will not say anything.

The Ding family sent people directly to Luoyun Valley, and they should have made some decisions.

"Fellow Daoist Xundi, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." After Li Xunyu finished speaking, the elder of the Shi family saw that the time was almost right, so he opened his mouth and prepared to leave.

"Well, Xunyu, it's just right for you to see fellow Daoist Shi off."

"Okay."

Li Xundi took a sip of spiritual tea and continued to wait for the cultivators of the Ding family to come here.

When cultivators of the Qi Refining Force come to the territory of the Foundation Building Force, they will normally send cultivators of the late Qi Refining period to come, which is also a statement of their attitude towards the Foundation Building Force. Cultivators of the late Qi Refining period are all high-level in the Qi Refining Force.

The elder of the Shi family who was sent out of the valley also glanced at the cultivators of the Ding family and Li Xunyu when he left.

He knew the Ding family, a Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation Family, but he was not very familiar with them.

If the purpose of the cultivators of the Ding family coming today was the same as his, wanting to become a subsidiary force of the Li family, he would find it a bit strange.

You know, the Ding family is some distance away from here.

Normal Qi-refining and Immortal Cultivation families would choose nearby foundation-building forces if they wanted to become affiliated families of foundation-building forces. This way, when problems arise, it would be easier for the foundation-building forces to provide support.

‘Does the Ding family think that the Chen family is a little bit inferior to the Li family?’

The elder of the Shi family couldn't help but think of this. The closest foundation-building force to the Ding family was the Chen family. The Ding family must have come for the reputation of the Li family. Although the Li family is now more powerful, its influence in Wutong County is still not as good as that of the Chen family.

Thinking of this, the elder of the Shi family suddenly felt that their Shi family was quite lucky. At least it was not far from the Luoyun Valley of the Li family. If there was really any problem with the family, the Li family could also provide support more quickly.

"Comfortable."

The elder of the Shi family, who felt that he had figured it out, left with a happier mood.

In the living room of Luoyun Valley.

Li Xundi waited for Ding Yuanchun, the cultivator sent by the Ding family.

If Li Xundi remembered correctly, the cultivator sent by the thirteenth grandfather to the Ding family was the seventeenth uncle Li Xingsheng. Now the seventeenth uncle didn't know whether he had started to build the foundation.

The cultivators of Luoyun Valley in Wutong County didn't know that Li Xingsheng went to Changqing Mountain to build the foundation.

"Daoyou Li." When Ding Yuanchun came in, Li Xundi stood up from his seat.

"Ding Daoyou, if you have something to say, please sit down and discuss in detail." Li Xunting smiled and motioned Ding Yuanchun to take a seat first.

After hearing what Li Xunting said, Ding Yuanchun sat down without any greetings, but went straight to the point.

Li Xunting's words meant that he hoped he could get to the point quickly, so he didn't bother to be polite.

"Li Daoyou, I came here this time hoping that the Ding family could become a subsidiary force of the Li family." Ding Yuanchun said directly.

Two people came at once, what a coincidence.

Li Xunting thought in his heart, keeping a faint smile on the surface.

This is a good thing for the current Li family. According to some situations that Li Xunting told him, it would be best if the Li family had five to seven subsidiary forces in Wutong County. With the current situation of the Li family, there must be some subsidiary forces in Wutong County, which can also increase the influence of the family, but the subsidiary forces cannot be too many.

As the family becomes stronger and stronger, and some other favorable factors change, the situation of the subsidiary forces in Wutong County can be further increased.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" Li Xundi asked, and added, "There is no problem with the cooperation between our two families at present."

"It is no problem for our Ding family, but it is a problem for your family." The senior management of the Ding family knew that such cooperation would not last long.

As time goes by, their Ding family will lose the value they should have for the Li family.

"Oh, I want to hear your real thoughts, Ding Daoyou." Li Xundi looked at Ding Yuanchun thoughtfully, and spoke in a relatively relaxed tone.

For the Li family, it is necessary to collect some information.
