Chapter 322 Opportunity

After Li Xingwei successfully built his foundation, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family returned to eight.

Originally, Li Lilong thought that the eighth foundation-building cultivator in the family was Li Qiuling or Li Qiuben.

It was relatively normal that Li Qiuling failed to build his foundation after using the foundation-building pill. After all, he was just an ordinary double-spiritual root cultivator, while Li Qiuben could basically build his foundation successfully with only the foundation-building pill, and he also had the blessing of a special physique.

For Li Lilong, it was a very happy thing that a cultivator who was not a foundation-building seed in the family built his foundation, especially a four-spiritual root cultivator like Li Xingwei. This was also the first time in the history of the family that a four-spiritual root cultivator successfully built his foundation.

Building a foundation with mixed spiritual roots was not a situation in more than half of the Dan-forming immortal cultivation families in Zhao State.

At present, there are three foundation-building cultivators on the Changqing Mountain side, and only two on the Changqing Mountain side, his daughters Li Qianyin and Li Xunming. After Li Xingwei became a foundation-building cultivator in the family, he had no choice. According to the family's allocation, he would be assigned to Changqing Mountain.

Li Xingwei had no objection to this. This matter itself was arranged by the family, and the family elders would give him a suitable cave.

"By the way, Xingwei, when do you want to hold your foundation-building banquet?" Li Lilong asked.

If the clan leader Li Qianqing was still there, the foundation-building banquet could be held for Li Xingwei normally one month later. Now that Li Qianqing was out for training, Li Lilong also gave him more opportunities to choose.

Their Li family did not stipulate that the clan leader must be present at the foundation-building banquet held by the family's foundation-building cultivators, but since the establishment of the Li family, the clan leader has never missed a foundation-building banquet.

If Li Xingwei wanted to hold a foundation-building banquet in a month, he would host this foundation-building banquet. If he wanted to wait for Li Qianqing to come back, the clan leader would naturally host it.

"Fourth Grandpa, what do you mean..."

"It mainly depends on you, but when your thirteenth uncle comes back from training to hold the foundation-building banquet, you should be the first clan member of our Li family to hold a foundation-building banquet, and there will be a Jindan-stage cultivator present."

The Jindan-stage cultivator that Li Lilong referred to was naturally Yan Xuewei.

If Li Qianqing is here, Yan Xuewei will usually come. If the foundation-building banquet is held at this time, Yan Xuewei will at most send a foundation-building elder from Qingfeng Valley.

Li Lilong is very clear about the relationship between Li Qianqing and Yan Xuewei. If she is asked to choose between the current Li family and Li Qianqing, she will definitely choose Li Qianqing.

I still remember that after cooperating with Yan Xuewei for a period of time, Yan Xuewei threatened that the future patriarch of the Li family must be Li Qianqing. At that time, they had such an idea, so they were not angry about Yan Xuewei's remarks.

"Then I will wait for Thirteenth Uncle to come back."

Li Xingwei thought about it for a while. He was not only the first cultivator in the foundation-building stage after Thirteenth Uncle became the patriarch, but also the first cultivator in the Li family to have a Jindan stage cultivator to participate in the foundation-building banquet, although there are rumors in the cultivation world that the foundation-building banquet is best held one month after the foundation-building, which is more meaningful.

But the choice before him now is better than the latter's illusory meaning, and it is also very face-saving.

"Okay, that's it. Go to the family treasury first and exchange two second-level inferior solid spirit pills to consolidate your cultivation."

"That fourth grandfather... I only have a few contribution points left now."

"Now you are all foundation-building cultivators of the family, and your status has become the core of the family. You can owe contribution points, and you just need to make up for it quickly later," Li Lilong smiled lightly. After becoming a foundation-building cultivator of the family, the contribution points obtained each year are not limited by your own spiritual roots.

Whether it is a double spiritual root cultivator in the early stage of foundation building or a four spiritual root cultivator, if you do nothing every year, you can get a lot of contribution points by guarding any place, and the number of contributions obtained by both is the same.

"I understand, fourth grandfather."

Li Xingwei nodded. He will consolidate his cultivation for a while, and then go to Changqing Mountain to listen to the arrangements made by Fourteenth Aunt.

Since Thirteenth Uncle became the patriarch of the family, the specific affairs of Changqing Mountain are arranged by Fourteenth Aunt.

Li Xingwei thought for a moment. Although he was the weakest foundation-building cultivator in the family, he still had three younger foundation-building cultivators in terms of seniority, two of whom had entered the middle stage of foundation-building.

…

Daming Kingdom.

Yanyu County.

Li Qianqing had arrived here more than half a year ago.

The second opportunity was not like the first one. He didn't need to prepare anything. He just needed to find a place and then enter.

After coming to Yanyu County for more than half a year, based on his experience here in his previous life, he had a very ordinary jade pendant in his hand after inquiring about new information from many sources.

This seemingly ordinary jade pendant was the key to open that place.

"Finally got it." Li Qianqing smiled. During this time in Yanyu County, he also spent more than 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. Many news could not be inquired for nothing, and they all required a certain price.

Compared with the gains later, this price was completely acceptable to him.

Yanyu County is a large county in the Daming Kingdom. There are three Jindan-level forces here, one is a Jindan sect, two are Jindan cultivation families, and there are dozens of foundation-building forces. As for the forces at the Qi-refining level, there are too many.

When asking for information in Yanyu County, it is best to pay attention to these three Jindan forces, especially the sect Jindan force Kunyuan Sect, which has a Jindan late-stage cultivator. This level of cultivator is still very threatening to him now.

The process of inquiring about the news was generally smooth, without any troubles, and he was not intercepted by the cultivators.

The experience in Xiyun County was mainly about meeting a cultivator with that special physique. Such a situation is really very unlikely. If he had not met that cultivator, he would not have been targeted by any cultivators on this trip to the Ming Dynasty, at least so far.

After getting the key to open the trial place, he is going there now.

There are five levels in the trial. After passing three levels, there is a chance to leave. If you pass the first three levels of the trial, you cannot leave unless your own strength has reached the Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul stage cultivators do not think much of this opportunity.

In his previous life, he only passed three levels. When he faced the fourth level, his strength did not allow it.

In his previous life, when he cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, his strength was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary late stage foundation building cultivators. It was also for this reason that he was able to pass the third level and obtain the Tianyun Water, a spiritual object for forming a pill. After that, when he cultivated to the peak of foundation building, he succeeded in forming a pill by chance with the help of this Tianyun Water.

The founder of Shuiyunmen, who had a good relationship with Qingfeng Valley, successfully used the Tianyunshui, a spiritual object for forming pills, to form pills, and then the name Shuiyunmen came into being.

Two days after getting the jade pendant key, Li Qianqing came to a desert east of Yanyu County.

In his previous life, in this desert, he first discovered the special keyhole at the entrance to the trial, and then by chance, he got the jade pendant in his hand now, and then started the trial test, got the rewards for the first three levels, tried the fourth level and left.

In this life, I will find the jade pendant key first, and then come here.

Li Qianqing fell on a small hill.

‘It should be nearby. ’

The entrance to the trial cannot be detected by divine sense, and compared with the present in the next few decades, the terrain here will be quite different under the erosion of the strong wind.

In his impression, the entrance is nearby, as long as he is patient to find it.

What Li Qianqing lacks the most is patience, which is also a quality that an excellent alchemist must possess.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the temperature in the desert has begun to drop.

Two hours had passed since Li Qianqing appeared here.

During these two hours, he carefully searched for the entrance to the trial.

"It turned out to be here."

Under the moonlight, Li Qianqing found the entrance to his second opportunity at the bottom of a sand dune. He had already turned over the sand and stones here.

It would take some time to find it at this time, and it would be easier to find it if he came here decades later.

Li Qianqing took out the jade pendant key and pointed it at the concave part with the carved pattern.

The pattern of the pattern, for this is the pattern on the front of the jade pendant.

At this time, a "click" sound came from below, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and the sand and stones were also jumping. Not long after, the exposed stone door slowly opened.

Li Qianqing went in without hesitation.

When he went in, the stone door closed immediately. After a moment, the place returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

After walking about ten feet, Li Qianqing came to a hall similar to a palace. Moonstones were hanging around him, and he dispersed the flames in his hands. Just like when he came here in his previous life, it was empty here, and the patterns on the wall were almost invisible.

There was nothing important in the hall. He had searched for it in his previous life. As long as he pushed open the door in front of him, the first level of the trial would officially begin.

There was a stone slab next to the door, engraved with the words left by the master who set up the trial:

Congratulations, my destined person, you can enter here and hope to get a part of my inheritance. Whether you can get the inheritance depends mainly on your performance... Pushing open the door in front is the first level of my trial for you. You can get a reward for each level you pass. There are five levels in total...

There is a small note below this text.

The general meaning is that only by passing the first three levels can you leave this place normally, and when your strength reaches a certain level, you can naturally leave here abnormally.

Li Qianqing did not start the trial immediately, but looked carefully at every place in the hall.

In his previous life, he did not find anything, maybe he, with a different perspective, can find something.

Unfortunately, the final result was the same as in the previous life. There was really nothing valuable in the hall, and it also consumed an hour of his time.

Push open the door and walk through a five-step long corridor.

The room here is not big, with two big doors in front and back, and two small doors next to it.

The small door was not for him to pass through. When he officially stepped into the room, the big door behind him was closed. At the same time, the two small doors slowly opened upwards.

Two puppets were revealed in the small door. When the small door was completely opened, the eyes of the puppets inside glowed red.

The puppets have been activated. If he defeats these two puppets, he will pass this simplest first level.

These two puppets are both second-level inferior. The more powerful cultivators in the early stage of foundation building can generally defeat the two puppets when they use their full strength, and then pass the first level.

The owner here must be a puppeteer, and the final inheritance, Li Qianqing guessed, should be about the inheritance of refining puppets.

Li Qianqing was not very interested in this thing, but he was not the same as he was in his previous life.

It must be good for the Li family to obtain the inheritance. If a puppeteer appeared in the family later, he could also use this inheritance.

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, puppeteers not only need to master some means of refining, but also have formations. Of course, they don't have to do the same as refiners or formation masters. To become a puppeteer, they must also have a very high talent, otherwise the benefits of becoming a puppeteer are far less than the wasted materials.

The materials for refining puppets are also quite expensive.

The secret art of spiritual consciousness has no effect on puppets, so when Li Qianqing broke through to the late stage of foundation building, he did not practice "Three Absolutes of Destroying Gods" to further improve his strength.

Although the secret art of spiritual consciousness has no effect on puppets, a strong spiritual consciousness is still useful.

The best way to deal with puppets is to find the core of the puppet and destroy it. A strong spiritual consciousness is very useful in this regard. However, cultivators with strong spiritual consciousness are also strong. They will not look for ordinary puppets, and they will just destroy the entire puppet.

For puppets with similar strength, it is difficult to find the core of the puppet. The stronger the puppet, the harder it is to find the core of the puppet. At this time, a stronger spiritual consciousness is needed. Therefore, when dealing with puppets, it is beneficial to have a strong spiritual consciousness that exceeds one's own realm.

"Go."

A pale white short sword flew out from Li Qianqing's sleeve and hit the back of a puppet at a very fast speed. The next moment, the puppet was paralyzed.

The other puppet suffered the same fate.

In his previous life, when he was in the late stage of foundation building, he directly destroyed the puppet in the first trial and saw the puppet core. Now he knew where the cores of the two puppets were without looking for them.

He passed the first level easily with just a little spiritual power.

When he put away the middle-grade spiritual weapon short sword, he also put away the two paralyzed puppets. Before entering here, he wanted to prepare two or three more high-level storage bags and collect some materials here. If an excellent puppeteer really appeared in the Li family, these paralyzed puppets could also give him reference and learn something from them.

After being intercepted by the cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building and the early stage of Dan formation, he had an extra high-level storage bag and a low-level storage ring in his hand, so he didn't need to prepare anything.

He would store all these paralyzed puppets in his storage ring.

The space of this low-level storage ring in his hand was about eight times that of a high-level storage bag, and the price was about fifty times more.

After the two puppets were paralyzed, a stone platform slowly rose in the center of the room.

On the stone platform was his reward for passing the first level. (End of this chapter)
