Chapter 324 Return

It took Li Qianqing eight months to learn the basic knowledge of puppetry and refine a first-grade high-quality puppet.

This was two months faster than he had initially estimated.

Seeing the one-year deadline, he initially thought that he could complete it in about ten months.

This time, refining the puppet also gave him a more accurate test of his talent in puppetry.

His talent in puppetry was almost at the level of the better four-spiritual-root talent among the cultivators. Among the spiritual root talents, the five-spiritual-root cultivators accounted for nearly half of the cultivators, and the four-spiritual-root cultivators accounted for more than 30%.

As a better four-spiritual-root cultivator, it was almost more than 70% of the cultivators.

Li Qianqing put the refined first-grade high-quality puppet in the designated place, and the next moment, a small door slowly appeared on the right side of the hall.

"This should be the final inheritance."

There was a small secret room inside.

When he just entered the secret room, Li Qianqing felt that he had spent at least these few months worthwhile.

Let's not go out for now, there was actually a third-grade low-quality puppet here.

Unlike the puppets that tested him before, this puppet was obviously one of the rewards he received.

The strength of a third-level low-grade puppet was about the same as that of an ordinary Jindan early stage cultivator. With this third-level low-grade puppet, the Li family was at least a half-Jindan cultivation family on the surface, which was similar to the Li family owning a third-level early stage demon beast, but the latter was better because it took a lot of energy to drive a third-level low-grade puppet.

After checking this third-level low-grade puppet, Li Qianqing quickly found the place where the puppet replenished its energy.

There was a spiritual stone with amazing spiritual energy inside.

"Top-grade spiritual stone."

So far in this life, Li Qianqing had never seen a top-grade spiritual stone.

The value of a top-grade spiritual stone was tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. If more than 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones could not buy a foundation-building pill, three top-grade spiritual stones would definitely buy a foundation-building pill. This was also the charm of top-grade spiritual stones.

For a third-level puppet, if there is no third-level demon beast or demon pill as energy, then using a top-grade spirit stone to provide energy is undoubtedly the best choice.

Li Qianqing thought about it, took out the top-grade spirit stone, and then put in a middle-grade spirit stone.

Middle-grade spirit stones can also drive third-level puppets, but the driving time is very short, but it is more than enough to deal with foundation-building cultivators. Once facing a Jindan cultivator, a third-level puppet driven by a middle-grade spirit stone will fight with the opponent, and in the end the puppet will fall into the opponent's hands.

For Li Qianqing himself, the significance of a third-level low-grade puppet is not as great as a top-grade spirit stone, but for the Li family, it is very meaningful.

The Li family, with this third-level puppet, at least among all the foundation-building forces in Zhao State, can rank first in terms of strength.

If we count the comprehensive actual strength, among the ten Jindan cultivation families of Zhao State, except for the Zhao State royal family, four can match their Li family. If we compare the top combat power of all the cultivation families, it will be a different ranking.

After Li Qianqing put away the third-level inferior puppet, he looked at the two jade slips.

He picked them up and took a look.

The contents of the two jade slips are one of the experience of refining puppets and the other of refining the life magic weapon.

To refine this life magic weapon, it is best to be a puppeteer, otherwise this life magic weapon will not improve the strength much.

With these things, Li Qianqing originally hoped that the family could have a formation master, and now add a puppeteer, preferably with good spiritual root talent. If the puppeteer can't even build a foundation, it will not make much sense for the current Li family.

"It's time to leave."

After confirming that there was nothing else in the secret room, Li Qianqing returned to the practice room.

Only the main door here can leave, and there is no door to leave on the fourth and fifth levels.

…

Mid-February.

Li Qianqing appeared in Xiangshui County.

Compared with the trip to Yanyu County of Daming Kingdom, the return trip was much smoother.

In the process of flying across the tributary of Ming River, he did not even encounter a single Ming Clan member.

This time, he gained more from the opportunity than in his previous life. As for the third opportunity, there was one thing that was very different from the previous two opportunities, that is, the opening time of the third opportunity was fixed, and he was not the only cultivator to participate.

This is a secret realm.

When he got the third opportunity in his previous life, he had already cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, and the weakest cultivator who entered this secret realm was also in the early stage of Jindan. At that time, he was able to get a good opportunity purely by luck, but this life was different.

According to his cultivation plan, when the third opportunity opened, he would also have the cultivation of the peak of Jindan, and it was not impossible for him to enter the Yuanying stage. However, if he only got the third opportunity in his previous life in the Yuanying stage, it would not mean much to him personally.

After entering the territory of Xiangshui County, Li Qianqing did not take long to return to Changqing Mountain.

When he returned to Changqing Mountain, he fell directly from the sky, which also attracted Li Lilong's attention.

"Qianqing, you are back." Li Lilong was very happy when he saw Li Qianqing. Li Qianqing left Changqing Mountain in March of the previous year. If he returned in March this year, he would have been away for two years.

Normally, a cultivator in the foundation-building period would go out for two to three years.

If he did not come back after five years of away training, it was very likely that something had happened.

"Fourth uncle." After landing, Li Qianqing smiled.

Li Lilong sensed Li Qianqing's current aura and knew that he must have gained something from this trip. If the late stage of foundation building is divided into three stages, Li Qianqing is now in the last stage of the late stage of foundation building, not far from the peak of foundation building.

After the two chatted briefly, Li Lilong asked Li Qianqing about his gains from this experience.

"Qianqing, how did you gain this time?" Li Lilong was very curious about this, because Li Qianqing's cultivation had improved a lot. If his cultivation had not improved much, and he was about the same when he went out and came back, he would not have such a problem.

"Fourth uncle, I'll show you something good."

When Li Lilong asked, Li Qianqing smiled mysteriously.

He didn't keep it a secret for a long time, and soon he took out the third-level low-grade puppet.

He took this third-level low-grade puppet out of the storage ring. He had thought about the origin of this low-level storage ring a long time ago. It was obtained after accepting the inheritance of this predecessor. At that time, this third-level low-grade puppet was in this storage ring.

"This puppet... is of the third-grade inferior grade!"

Li Lilong carefully felt the human-shaped puppet with a light blue body in front of him, and then he realized that this puppet was definitely of the third grade, specifically, the third-grade inferior grade.

"That's right." Li Qianqing nodded.

"It should be controllable."

"Of course."

As soon as Li Qianqing finished speaking, under his control, the human-shaped puppet's eyes glowed red and took two steps.

When the puppet is not fighting, the energy consumption is very small. The greater the power it exerts in battle, the greater the energy consumption.

"Fourth uncle, you can also try its power."

Li Lilong originally wanted to accept Li Qianqing's proposal after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. Qianqing might be trying his ability to control puppets with himself, so he would not be fooled. Then he could let Xingsheng try it, or the flame turtle would live longer.

"No need to consume too much energy." Li Lilong found a very common reason to refuse, and then immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Qianqing, tell me about your experience this time."

"Okay... I've been in Lu for half a year..."

Li Qianqing roughly talked about his experience, focusing on what he gained.

He made up all the experiences so that they corresponded with his gains.

Listening to Li Qianqing's story, Li Lilong was happier and happier. This time, Li Qianqing went out for training, and not only gained a third-level low-grade puppet, but also three foundation-building pills, and the pill-forming spiritual object Tianyunshui.

The harvest of three foundation-building pills alone is already amazing enough. Compared with other gains this time, the harvest of foundation-building pills is only okay.

"The Ming Kingdom is full of treasures." Li Lilong couldn't help but say after hearing this, "With Tianyun Water, you are more likely to succeed in forming a pill... and with these three foundation-building pills, you won't have to worry about the seeds for the family's foundation-building in the future."

"Fourth uncle, I think it's more important to obtain a lot of foundation-building techniques."

"Yes, yes, yes! Techniques are also the key. With these techniques, the foundation of our Li family's subsequent members' cultivation can already be compared with some families that have formed a pill and cultivated immortals."

Li Lilong thought about the future development of the family, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

As early as when Li Qianqing showed his specialness, he thought that the future patriarch of the family must be him. Only Li Qianqing could lead the family to go further. Otherwise, according to the previous rules of the Li family, the future patriarch of the family should be him.

At that time, he had a hunch that Qianqing could form a pill, making the Li family a family that formed a pill and cultivated immortals, thus giving the family further room for development.

Now the gains of Li Qianqing's training outside are to prove his previous hunch.

At this moment, thinking of the previous Li Lilong, he felt particularly accomplished.

"I didn't expect that Qianqing also has a good talent in puppetry." Li Lilong talked about the inheritance that Li Qianqing accepted.

"I was a little surprised." Li Qianqing responded and continued, "But I don't plan to continue developing in this direction. If there are talented members of the family who are talented in puppetry in the future, they can also accept this inheritance."

Li Lilong nodded in agreement.

The energy of cultivators is limited. There are very few cultivators who practice two arts in the hundred arts of cultivation. Most of them can achieve something in one path, which is very good.

According to Li Qianqing's description, his talent in puppetry is very good, but compared with his alchemy, it is much worse.

Li Lilong mentioned this because he wanted to know Li Qianqing's specific thoughts. If Li Qianqing had the idea of ​​taking the puppet path, he would persuade him.

The final result proved that Qianqing really didn't need him, as an elder, to worry about it.

He could plan and handle everything very well.

After Li Lilong learned about Li Qianqing's experience, he then said that some things happened in the family during the two years that Li Qianqing was away.

"Qianqing, I have two good news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Fourth uncle, what you said is interesting. It's always good news and bad news that make people choose."

"Hahaha, that's right."

This is a joke between the uncle and nephew. It also uses this sentence to lead to what Li Lilong is going to say next.

"Just over three months after you left, a foundation-building cultivator was born in the family."

"Oh, who is it?" Li Qianqing asked.

According to his idea, it is unlikely that it is the family's foundation-building seed. Li Qiuxue, who has failed in the foundation-building once, he has also talked to this great-granddaughter, and she also expressed her thoughts. She should not continue to build the foundation in the short term.

As for the other foundation-building seeds, it is even more impossible to build a foundation.

"It's Xingwei, he built a foundation successfully."

"Xingwei... he has four spiritual roots, right?" Li Qianqing thought for a while. He had an impression of Li Xingwei, a clan member. Among the clan members with four spiritual roots, he was the fastest in cultivation and was particularly hardworking, which also made him have a good impression of him.

It was really a blessing in disguise that the four spiritual roots could successfully build a foundation. Among the thousands of four spiritual roots cultivators who could cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and build a foundation before their Qi and blood declined, only about one could successfully build a foundation.

"Yes, the four spiritual roots built a foundation. Now that you are back, he can hold a foundation-building banquet next month."

"Okay." Li Qianqing nodded, "I will definitely hold a grand foundation-building banquet for him."

Li Qianqing waited for the clan leader to come back to hold the foundation-building banquet, so he naturally couldn't treat him badly.

"Fourth uncle, another good news is..."

"Another good news, in fact, these two pieces of news cannot be listed side by side, but now it's different." Li Lilong smiled. Now that Li Qianqing has returned from his training, not only has his cultivation improved a lot, but he has also obtained a spiritual object for forming a pill. This makes the good news he wants to tell more important. "Last year, the family collected ten spiritual medicines for refining the second-level upper-grade Shengling Pill."

If there are enough second-level upper-grade Shengling Pills, Li Qianqing can enter the peak of foundation building faster, so that he can try to form a pill faster.

According to the current situation, Li Qianqing has about four opportunities to try to form a pill.

However, in Li Lilong's opinion, the next three opportunities should not be used. He feels that Li Qianqing will be able to successfully form a pill after using the Tianyun Water to assist in the first time forming a pill.

"Not bad." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction. This is indeed good news for him, and it is also very good news for the entire Li family. In the future, there will be more second-level upper-grade Shengling Pills in the family library.

Li Lilong is not far from the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. If he is lucky, before he becomes a Jindan stage cultivator, the fourth uncle should be able to enter the late stage of foundation building.

After the uncle and nephew talked about some family matters, Li Qianqing returned to the cave and used the sound transmission sound to tell Yan Xuewei that he had returned from training, and also said that the Li family would hold a family cultivator foundation building banquet on the fifteenth of next month.

Given his relationship with Yan Xuewei, when he mentioned this, Yan Xuewei was sure to come next month.

Just like when he went to train, not many family cultivators knew that Li Qianqing had returned, but compared with when he went out to train, the news of his return spread faster in the family.

There was no specific content in the spread of the news, just that he had returned from training outside and was said to have gained a lot. (End of this chapter)
