Chapter 285 The growing impact

The news that the Li family had another foundation-building cultivator and that the foundation-building banquets for the two foundation-building cultivators were held together spread quickly.

Many foundation-building forces received invitations to the Li family's foundation-building banquet.

"It seems that only three years have passed since the last time the Li family had a cultivator with different spiritual roots build a foundation, and now another cultivator has built a foundation."

"I heard that the Li family cultivator who built a foundation this time is called Li Xingsheng, and he is also a cultivator with three spiritual roots!"

"You said that the last time the Li family cultivator built a foundation, there was no foundation-building banquet, did they want to wait until this time to hold it together?"

"The Li family is just a foundation-building force, it should not be as powerful as you say? If they could have thought that the cultivator who built a foundation this time would definitely succeed three years ago, this... this is too incredible."

Compared with Li Xunming, after the news of Li Xingsheng's foundation-building spread, the cultivators were very enthusiastic about discussing it. The reason was not only because Li Xingsheng was a cultivator with three spiritual roots who built a foundation, but also because the two of them had their foundation-building banquets together, which was also very worth discussing.

Many cultivators are thinking about the reason why Li Xunming's foundation-building banquet was postponed. Combined with the current situation of Li Xingsheng's foundation-building, the reason seems to be this. Although this reason is incredible, it is difficult for them to think of a better reason.

In addition to the situation of holding the foundation-building banquet together, some casual cultivators also combined the Li family's seizure of the management rights of the cultivator market with what is happening now.

They can easily come to a conclusion.

The current Li family's control over Xiangshui County is getting deeper and deeper, causing many people to ignore that there is actually another foundation-building immortal cultivation family in Xiangshui County, the Huang family. Now the influence of the Huang family in Xiangshui County seems to be not much different from some top Qi-refining immortal cultivation families.

"Have you noticed that the Li family has been getting stronger, but there is no action against the Huang family." When some cultivators were discussing Li Xingsheng's foundation-building, they thought of another foundation-building immortal cultivation family in Xiangshui County.

"The Li family has always been honest. As long as the Huang family does not make any moves, the Li family will not do anything to them." A cultivator said this very confidently, as if no one knows the Li family better than him.

"I agree. Look at how few cultivators dare to cause trouble in the market after the Li family took over the management of our cultivator market."

The Li family has very severe penalties for cultivators who cause trouble in the cultivator market.

The vast majority of lower cultivators are happy to see this.

"When will the Li family recruit people to work? I want to join the Li family."

"No matter how good the Li family is, you will definitely be restricted if you join the Li family. I still prefer now."

"It's okay. I am willing to have restrictions, but the problem is that there is no chance at the moment."

Some casual cultivators discussed whether the Li family would accept people. Now, some Qi-refining immortal families in Xiangshui County are also discussing this issue.

These Qi-refining immortal families naturally do not include those that have become affiliated forces of the Li family.

Those Qi-refining immortal families that have long become affiliated forces of the Li family are seeing that the Li family is becoming more and more powerful. Most of them are getting happier and happier. Only in a few families, some cultivators are worried about what the Li family will do to them if the cultivators in the family succeed in building their foundation.

There is no reference answer to this question at present.

Compared with these problems, the Qi-refining families who have not become affiliated forces of the Li family will have much more troubles.

"Patriarch, why don't we become affiliated forces of the Li family now? If the Li family continues to be so powerful, they will definitely purchase our spiritual veins in the future."

The Xiangshui Gao family is an independent Qi-refining family that is relatively close to Changqing Mountain.

As the Li family becomes stronger again, they must worry about this problem.

If the Li family continues to be stronger, they will need more spiritual veins. In Xiangshui County, the source of these spiritual veins, in addition to the previous affiliated forces of the Jiang family, these independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families are undoubtedly the second best choice for the Li family.

The Li family wants to purchase their spiritual veins, and they have no reason to refuse.

Now, the good thing for them is that the Li family has always been honest, so in addition to spending spirit stones to purchase the spiritual veins under their spiritual veins, they should not use other methods. If they refuse, the Li family will generally not be polite.

"Now that we have become a subsidiary of the Li family, we have to pay a lot of resources every year, which is not conducive to the future development of our Gao family." The head of the Gao family is still considering this issue. As the patriarch of the family, he has not given up the hope of the family's development.

Especially for their Gao family at this stage, they will definitely not give too many resources.

The head of the Gao family is also upset now. He thinks that it was the previous patriarch of the Gao family who was too hesitant. If the position of the patriarch of the family was given to him at that time, when Li Qianqing of the Li family was building his foundation, their Gao family should have become a subsidiary of the Li family.

Compared with when Li Qianqing had just built his foundation, the Qi refining forces that want to become a subsidiary of the Li family now have to pay a lot more resources every year. If they had become a subsidiary of the Li family before, the resources they paid every year would remain unchanged.

This decision of the Li family also made many Qi refining and immortal cultivation families envy those families that became the affiliated forces of the Li family early. Compared with the powerful Li family, they have to pay too little every year. But it is precisely because of the strategy of the Li family that they have a better reputation. At least after they became powerful, they did not forget many things.

Nowadays, many Qi-refining forces in Xiangshui County are protecting the Li family from the bottom of their hearts. Among these forces, the largest number are Qi-refining families that were affiliated with the Li family in the early days.

"Patriarch, do we have to continue? If we don't become a subordinate force of the Li family now, and if another cultivator of the Li family builds his foundation later, we will have to pay more to become a subordinate force of the Li family."

"Let me think about it..."

The same thing happened not only in the Gao family, but also in many independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families.

But compared with the Gao family, which is closer to the Changqing Mountain, the ancestral land of the Li family, the situation of other independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families is a little better.

Independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families just don't want to provide resources. They basically want resources for the development of the family. If they don't want to be affiliated with the Li family now, the best result for them is that the Li family is as strong as it is, and they don't want to continue to be strong.

After the Li family becomes more and more powerful and has a deeper control over Xiangshui County, when it reaches a certain point, the independent Qi-refining cultivator families in Xiangshui County must be affiliated with the Li family. Even if they are not affiliated with the Li family, they must become affiliated with other foundation-building forces.

You must know that there is no independent foundation-building force in the current Zhao State. The foundation-building forces basically have to be affiliated with the Jindan forces. After the Li family continues to grow stronger, the situation in Xiangshui County will become a smaller version of Zhao State, except that there are no Jindan forces here, only foundation building and Qi refining forces.

Compared with the worries and entanglements of independent Qi refining cultivation families, the forces that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family are the most worried about their family problems.

Some of them are now living well in Xiangshui County, and the Li family has not suppressed them, but the Qi refining forces that had conflicts with them before are different.

The reason why they can conclude that the Li family did not suppress them, nor did they instruct the affiliated Qi refining forces to suppress them, is because some of the affiliated forces of the Jiang family before had no conflicts with other Qi refining forces, and they were peaceful and did not receive any suppression.

If the Li family instructs the affiliated Qi refining forces to suppress them, then these affiliated Qi refining forces will also find ways to provoke conflicts and then suppress them. Facts have proved that as long as they abide by the law, nothing will happen.

Among these forces that were previously affiliated with the Jiang family, there is also a relatively special existence, the Ye family.

As early as six years ago, the Ye family became an affiliated force of the Li family.

"Now that the Li family has another cultivator who has established his foundation, we have not lost out." At the current high-level meeting of the Ye family, all the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining were quite happy.

Since they were previously an affiliated force of the Jiang family, when they became an affiliated force of the Li family, they had to provide more resources every year.

"The old patriarch made decisive decisions."

"Yes."

The senior leaders of the older generation of the Ye family have all left. Unlike the new generation of senior leaders, they feel that their relationship with the Jiang family may make the Li family feel uncomfortable, so before their Yuanshou is about to end, the last order they issued was to let the new generation of senior leaders lead the family to become an affiliated force of the Li family.

Before becoming an affiliated force of the Li family, the Li family cultivators clearly stated that they needed to conduct a detailed investigation on them before they could finally agree whether they could become an affiliated force.

The final result was naturally approval.

If the older generation was still there, they thought the result might be a rejection.

"The investigation at that time really scared me."

"The more serious the Li family is about this matter, the more at ease we will be as their affiliated forces."

"That's true."

The Ye family especially hopes that the Li family will continue to grow stronger, because the stronger the Li family is, the more correct their original decision will be, and they can also see that the Qi-refining families that later become affiliated forces of the Li family have paid more, which is also a happy thing for them.

They envy the Qi-refining families that became affiliated forces of the Li family in the early days, and those who became affiliated forces of the Li family later, how can they not envy them?

...

August 8.

This year is the day when the two foundation-building cultivators of the Li family, Li Xingsheng and Li Xunming, hold a foundation-building banquet together.

Compared with Li Xunting's foundation-building banquet last time, there are undoubtedly more cultivators coming to Changqing Mountain this time. Even the foundation-building forces separated from Xiangshui County by a county have invited cultivators to participate in the foundation-building banquet. Although they were not invited, they took the initiative to participate in the forces to show friendship, and the Li family naturally would not refuse.

This time, the two foundation-building monks held a foundation-building banquet together. The monks who came on behalf of the forces also had to bring two gifts, one for Li Xingsheng and the other for Li Xunming.

Most of the forces gave similar gifts, only a few forces felt that Li Xunming, who had a different spiritual root, had much more potential than Li Xingsheng, who had three spiritual roots, so they gave Li Xunming more things to show their intentions.

If they wanted Li Xunming to find out about this, they had to hint at it.

It would definitely not be good to explain it directly. While they wanted to please Li Xunming, they didn't want to offend Li Xingsheng. Hinting at the other party might not understand, so they also made some efforts in this regard.

The Huang family, the only two foundation-building immortal cultivation families in Xiangshui County, came here again this time with Huang Zhifeng, the head of the Huang family.

Huang Zhifeng is very worried now. Now the Huang family is still the only foundation-building force, and he has little life left. He estimates that his life is less than ten years.

If no new foundation-building cultivator is born in the Huang family within these ten years, the Huang family will no longer be a foundation-building force, but will return to being a Qi-refining force.

In the case of foundation-building forces not being eliminated, there have been many cases in the three small countries where the forces have turned back into Qi-refining forces because there are no foundation-building cultivators in the forces. These foundation-building forces are all newly-emerged foundation-building forces, and they are not stable enough, so it is easy to turn back to their original state.

Now, it has been exactly 41 years since the Jiang family was destroyed.

In these 40 years, the Huang family has also gained a better understanding of the Li family.

Huang Zhifeng believes that the only lucky thing for their Huang family now is that the overlord of Xiangshui County is the Li family. After their Huang family turns back into a Qi-refining force, the Li family should not do anything to them.

But he hopes that the Li family can take care of the Huang family in the future. At this time, the relationship with the Li family will be useful. They have been managing their relationship with the Li family for these years. Now the Li family is holding a foundation-building banquet. The gift sent by their Huang family must be the most valuable among all the foundation-building forces.

In fact, if there is only one cultivator in the Li family's foundation-building banquet this time, the gift sent by their Huang family will be more valuable than the gifts sent by other foundation-building forces, but for the foundation-building banquet of two foundation-building cultivators, two gifts must be prepared.

Their Huang family has already taken out everything they can.

Huang Zhifeng, the head of the Huang family, did this because he had no other choice. If there were cultivators in the family who might succeed in foundation-building in the next ten years, he would not do this. Or if they had a lot of spirit stones left and had a channel to buy a foundation-building pill, he would also send first-class things to the Li family's foundation-building banquet this time, but he would not send gifts that exceeded the grade.

He believed that after the Li family cultivators saw his sincerity, he would be able to ask the Li family for something when his life span was approaching.

After Chen Changsheng entered the Changqing Mountain area of ​​the Li family, he felt a little uneasy.

Unlike some foundation-building forces that came without the invitation of the Li family, those foundation-building forces themselves had no relationship with the hostile forces of the Li family, so their arrival was definitely welcomed by the Li family.

The relationship between the Wutong Chen family and the Xiangshui Jiang family is still too deep, although the Jiang family has been destroyed for more than four years.

If he can't even go up Changqing Mountain this time, it will not only be a disgrace to him, but also a disgrace to their Chen family.

When he and his third uncle discussed whether to participate in the foundation-building banquet held by the Li family, both of them made a great determination. There is another very important reason, that is, the Li family knows how to do things.

'I hope the Li family is the same as what we investigated...'
