Chapter 315 Unexpected Development

This year, Li Qianqing is 100 years old.

This year, there is one good news and one bad news for Li Qianqing.

The good news is that Li Xunming broke through to the middle stage of foundation building in January this year. The speed of cultivation was very fast and the breakthrough process was very smooth. This is a cultivator with different spiritual roots.

Li Xunming built his foundation later than Li Xundi and Li Xingsheng. It is natural for the family cultivators to surpass him.

With his success in building his foundation, there are four middle-stage foundation building cultivators in the family, and the number of early-stage foundation building cultivators is no longer the largest.

Last year, the iron carp of Bi Bo Lake broke through, and this year Li Xunming broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. The interval between them is less than half a year.

The bad news is that in November this year, that is, this month, the old patriarch Li Cunliu ran out of life.

When he became the head of the Li family, he naturally knew that his great-grandfather really didn't have much time left, but in fact, when this happened, his mood was still different.

In this life, whether it is Li Ditu or Li Cunliu, they can die of old age. This is also the change he has made, but it is difficult to go further.

When he had a little ability, Li Ditu missed the opportunity to build a foundation. Even if he was given a foundation-building pill, he would not be able to build a foundation. Moreover, with the character of the second grandfather, he would never use the foundation-building pill at that time. He knew in his heart that it would be a waste to give it to him.

As for the clan leader Li Cunliu, when he broke through to the late stage of foundation building, he did not plan to practice to the peak of foundation building and then make a pill formation attempt.

When he broke through to the late stage of foundation building, he was already 174 years old, and the remaining life span was only about 50 years. He wanted to practice to the peak of foundation building during this time, which would consume a lot of family resources. The Li family at that time was not the current Li family. He felt that such consumption was not worth it, so he left more hope for the younger generation.

Because of this matter, Li Qianqing also persuaded Li Cunliu, but it was useless.

He couldn't promise that he would definitely get the spirit of pill formation.

If Li Cunliu accepted his opinion at that time, there would be changes in the arrangements for the next few decades, and he should have got the second opportunity now.

After Li Cunliu gave up the idea of ​​cultivating to the peak of foundation building, the plan he arranged now is also the most suitable for the current situation.

Many times, plans cannot keep up with changes, so his plan is constantly adjusted according to the actual situation.

The funeral of the old patriarch Li Cunliu was attended by the core leaders of the family.

Even Li Xundi would not find any excuses at this time. He rushed back as soon as he received the news.

Now there is no foundation building cultivator of the Li family in Wutong County.

If the Wutong Sun family wants to make trouble at this time, it will not be the Ma family and the Chen family who want to kill them quickly, but their Li family.

When they exert their full strength, even without the help of the Ma family and the Chen family, they can take down the Sun family.

The Sun family, which is currently in full defense, is still very sensible. During the funeral of Li Cunliu, everything in the family was running normally, and there were no cultivators in Xiangshui County making trouble in the market.

The news that Li Cunliu's life was exhausted and he sat down was spread.

The Qi refining forces in Xiangshui County are still happy to be independent.

Over the years, the number of Li family foundation-building cultivators has been increasing. Although this is just a normal sitting death, it also shows that the number of Li family foundation-building cultivators has decreased, from eight to seven, and the least is still in the late stage of foundation-building.

In this way, the Li family can never expand and continue to add spiritual veins to their family.

"A few years ago, a double spiritual root foundation-building seed of the Li family seemed to fail to build a foundation while using the foundation-building pill. Now the old patriarch of the Li family is gone again. The Li family can never be stronger again."

"Hahaha, the original decision was indeed correct. The Zhang family was stupid enough to become their affiliated force when the Li family was at its strongest, and provide cultivation resources every year. Even if their family has two micro spiritual veins, it is enough to greatly slow down their development."

"We can also rest assured! The Li family has no possibility of continuing to increase the micro spiritual veins."

Because of the exhaustion of Li Cunliu's life, some independent Qi-refining and immortal cultivation families also held a family meeting. Unlike the previous meeting, the content of this meeting was mainly to celebrate the arrival of this moment.

"When you are out, do what you should do. Don't look down on the Li family because of this incident. The rules followed in Xiangshui County must be followed, otherwise the Li family will have a reason to attack us after they find out."

"Don't worry, clan leader. When I am out, I will only feel sorry for the fact that the Li family lost a late-stage foundation-building cultivator."

"Hahaha, okay."

As for the Qi-refining immortal cultivation family that became an affiliated force of the Li family, they only talked about this matter briefly.

When Li Qianqing became the head of the Li family, they also knew that Li Cunliu didn't have much time left.

Their positions have changed. They will not think that the normal death of the Li family's foundation-building cultivator means that the Li family will begin to decline, because this is not in their current interests.

If the Li family loses a foundation-building cultivator outside, then they will really be worried.

If the Li family, which has become a top foundation-building immortal cultivation family, regresses to a first-class foundation-building immortal cultivation family in the future, especially the Qi-refining immortal cultivation family that became an affiliated force of the Li family later, they will regret it again.

I regretted not becoming an affiliated force of the Li family before, and now I regret becoming an affiliated force of the Li family. This means I lose twice!

Like the Qi-refining forces affiliated with the Li family, the foundation-building forces in other counties also reacted normally to the exhaustion of Li Cunliu's life span.

Before breaking through to the Jindan stage, the life span of a normal foundation-building cultivator is limited. If he suffers from hidden injuries that cannot be recovered, his life span will be reduced. Even if it is reduced to two hundred years, it is normal.

In the eyes of many foundation-building cultivators, it is really great that Li Cunliu can see the Li family develop to this point and then die of old age. Some family patriarchs fight for their families. After the family becomes stronger, they also suffer a lot of injuries. This is also good. The unlucky ones are naturally injured, but the family is still the same.

In November of this year, apart from a little sadness for the Li family, the situation is very stable.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Two years passed quickly.

Li Qianqing in the cave of the patriarch of Changqing Mountain ended his practice. Compared with when he first entered the late stage of foundation building, his spiritual power was 30% stronger thanks to the practice of "Zhongyuan Gong".

If he is given some more time, the quality of the spiritual power in his sea of ​​qi can exceed twice that of a normal peak foundation-building cultivator.

The high quality of spiritual power can make the use of magical powers more powerful while consuming less total spiritual power.

"We can start the action the year after next." Li Qianqing made a rough estimate.

The year after next is just right, at least he will go out after more than five years as the patriarch of the family. If he goes out to practice before five years as the patriarch of the family, it would be a little inappropriate.

With his reputation among the family cultivators, there is no problem even if he does this, but it is better to be normal. After all, the attention of the Li family is quite high in Zhao State now, and many foundation-building cultivators of the foundation-building forces will pay attention to the movements of him as the patriarch.

For Li Qianqing, this is a small disadvantage of becoming the patriarch of the family, but the overall impact is not great.

The one who likes practice the most in the family is still Li Xunming.

He went out to practice again a year ago and has not returned now. It is normal for a foundation-building cultivator to practice for two or three years.

Li Xunming, who has entered the middle stage of foundation building, is more assured when he goes out for training. Unless some powerful cultivators at the peak of foundation building take action, Li Xunming will not be able to stay.

Li Xunming brought back a foundation building pill last time, and this time he might bring back some good things, but Li Qianqing still hopes that Li Xunming can be safe, and it doesn't matter if there is no actual gain.

After leaving the clan leader's cave, Li Qianqing plans to go see Li Qiuben.

During this period, according to Li Qiuben's habit, he usually takes care of spiritual medicine.

Li Qiuben is special to the Li family. After the three-year period ended, he returned to the family's ancestral land and began to take care of spiritual medicine and spiritual valleys, and he took care of a lot of spiritual medicine and spiritual valleys. This is also because of his specialness. Normal families of double spiritual root cultivators make fewer arrangements for him.

Doing these things is relatively easy and efficient for Li Qiuben. The more he did, the more contribution points he got every year. Only the core members of the family knew that Li Qiuben's contribution points every year were unique among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Period of the family.

Li Qiuben was originally in Changqing Mountain, while Li Qiuling was originally in Changqing Mountain. After Li Qianqing became the patriarch of the family, he came to Changqing Mountain.

He needed Li Qianqing's guidance in refining pills, so naturally he would be wherever Li Qianqing was.

Li Qiuling was also happy to follow his thirteenth great-grandfather.

Now Li Qiuling, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, is not ambiguous at all in refining first-level top-grade pills, and the success rate is very high.

After training Li Qiuling, Li Qianqing himself has not refined first-level top-grade pills. Now the first-level top-grade pills of the family are basically refined by Li Qiuling, and occasionally some first-level medium-grade pills are refined.

As for the first-level low-grade pills, Li Qiuling no longer refines them. It is a waste of time for him to refine pills of this level.

Arrived at the spiritual field.

Li Qianqing saw Li Qiuben at a glance.

Li Qiuben is taking care of the spiritual fields in this area. There are two acres of first-level middle-grade spiritual fields and three acres of first-level high-grade spiritual fields, a total of five acres!

A few days ago, Li Qiuben just broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. The plant body has a certain bonus to the cultivation speed of the cultivator. His cultivation speed is second only to Li Xunming.

At present, he is still taking care of the first-level spiritual fields. When he cultivates to the late stage of Qi Refining, the second-level spiritual fields can be handed over to him to take care of.

These are all to accumulate experience for Li Qiuben. When he officially becomes a foundation-building cultivator and practices the corresponding exercises, some of the second-level spiritual medicines planted by the family in the future can greatly shorten the time for maturity.

In the field, Li Qianqing stood quietly and watched without disturbing Li Qiuben.

Li Qiuben took care of the spiritual medicine and the spiritual valley very carefully, so that he didn't notice Li Qianqing's arrival at all. When he took care of almost everything, he found Li Qianqing standing beside him.

"Thirteenth great-grandfather!"

When he saw Li Qianqing, Li Qiuben shouted happily.

In addition to taking care of the spiritual medicine and spiritual valley, he spent most of his time in cultivation. He had little contact with other members of the family, and the one he had the most contact with was Li Qianqing.

After the three-year period ended, he complained a little because he was not assigned to Changqing Mountain, but to Changqing Mountain, the ancestral land. After his thirteenth great-grandfather became the patriarch of the family, the last bit of resentment buried in his heart also disappeared.

"Qiuben, do you have any problems in cultivation?" Facing Li Qiuben who came to him, Li Qianqing smiled slightly.

He first asked about cultivation problems. If there were no problems, they would talk about daily trivial matters, and the main questions were about spiritual medicine and spiritual fields.

When guiding and cultivating Li Qiuben, when Li Qiuben understood his situation, Li Qianqing emphasized that he had a plant body. This special physique was best not known to other family members except the core members of the family.

It may be because he was too strong when guiding and cultivating, or it may be because Li Qiuben understood too deeply, which led to Li Qiuben's subsequent personality changes, which were somewhat out of his track.

Such changes have both good and bad sides. On the one hand, he basically doesn't have to worry about the spread of Li Qiuben's plant body. On the other hand, Li Qiuben has too little contact with family members, which makes him a little withdrawn.

He would take some time every year to actively look for Li Qiuben, not to change his personality, but just to reduce the side effects in this regard. At least Li Qiuben is particularly close to his thirteenth great-grandfather.

With Li Qiuben's specialness, it is also worth spending this time.

So far, among all the younger generations in the family, he is most optimistic about Li Qiuben's success in forming a pill, and then Li Xunming, who has a different spiritual root.

After building the foundation, Li Qiuben will be of great use to the family, let alone after forming a pill.

By then, the Li family will have a lot of ordinary third-level pills in the family treasury.

After the daily communication, Li Qianqing watched Li Qiuben happily return to the wooden house between the five spiritual fields before he left.

These days, everything is fine in Xiangshui County, and there is nothing going on in the family, so he has no important matters to deal with.

After returning to the clan leader's cave, he took out the second-level upper-grade spirit-raising pill and began his cultivation.

After using this second-level upper-grade spirit-raising pill, he still has seven pills left in his storage bag. If he needs it later, he can exchange it in the family treasury.

Now he is the only cultivator in the late stage of foundation building in the family, so pills like the second-level upper-grade spirit-raising pill for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, except for him, no cultivator in the family will exchange them.

The next year.

June.

A cultivator came to Changqing Mountain that Li Qianqing was quite surprised about. She arrived much faster than Li Qianqing expected.
