Chapter 336 Situation and Wish-Fulfillment

Among the one emperor, four sects and eleven families, the so-called one emperor naturally refers to the Zhao royal family, the most powerful force in Zhao.

When talking about the Jindan cultivation family, the cultivators usually discuss the Zhao royal family separately. Normal Jindan cultivation families usually have more than one million mortals in the family, and the most powerful ones have more than two million, and there are no more than three million.

And the Zhao royal family has tens of millions of mortals!

Also different from normal cultivation families, the Zhao royal family will also absorb casual cultivators with clean backgrounds and good talents, but because the Zhao royal family has limited channels for advancement, their attraction to casual cultivators is far less than that of the four major sects.

There are many potential rules in the Zhao cultivation world that are formulated by the Zhao royal family. For example, in terms of the number of mortals owned by the cultivation family, the number of mortals owned by the top foundation-building cultivation family can exceed 500,000, but it is better to be less than 700,000. The mortals of ordinary Jindan cultivation families can exceed one million. If they want to exceed two million, their strength needs to be further improved.

There are many limiting factors for the number of mortals in a family, and the Zhao royal family is the biggest limiting factor, also known as the potential rules of Zhao's cultivation world.

The Zhao royal family is very powerful, stronger than the combined strength of any two sects, and if any three sects are compared, it depends on the actual situation.

The combined strength of the four major sects is definitely higher than that of the Zhao royal family. If it is lower than that of the Zhao royal family, the situation in Zhao's cultivation world will become more complicated.

The Zhao royal family and the four major sects, and the situation between the four major sects, and the eleven families, have formed a balance in Zhao's cultivation world.

The four major sects are currently in a trend of confrontation, but no one dares to really take action, because of the Zhao royal family.

If a real conflict occurs between the sects, the happiest person is naturally the Zhao royal family.

The eleven families refer to the eleven Jindan Xiuxian families in Zhao State. They have a semi-subordinate and semi-cooperative relationship with the four major sects. After the Li family became a Jindan Xiuxian family, it did not have much impact on the overall situation of Zhao State, but it certainly had an impact on the local situation.

As for the hundreds of foundation-building forces below, the impact on the situation of Zhao State is even smaller, and the conflicts between them are just like that. As long as the Jindan Xiuxian families do not take action, the four major sects will maintain a superficial peace.

"Friend Wei, what do you think of the current situation in Yuemeng County?" Fang Mingchang, the head of the Fang family, looked at Wei Gongshi.

Yuemeng County is adjacent to Longhui County, and the current situation in Yuemeng County is very unfavorable to the subordinate forces of Qingfeng Valley.

If the situation continues like this, Yuemeng County will eventually be completely included in the influence of Tianhe Sect.

In this way, two counties of Longhui County adjacent to the three counties will be the territory of Tianhe Sect.

"Can you still think like that? Fellow Daoist Fang still wants our Wei family to take action." Wei Gongshi smiled lightly. If their Wei family really took action and was discovered, it would probably break some delicate balances. At least, the Tianhe Sect might choose to turn a blind eye.

"Hahaha, I don't mean that." Fang Mingchang did not continue the topic.

Xiayong County where their Fang family was located was adjacent to the territory of Shuiyun Sect, and Qingfeng Valley had a very good relationship with Shuiyun Sect, because among the three major Jindan Xiuxian families affiliated with Qingfeng Valley, the Fang family could be said to be the most comfortable.

There was basically nothing in the nearby counties that required them to take action.

"Fortunately, the sect got back on its feet in Wutong County." Talking about this, Yan Xuewei also joined the topic. What she meant by this was to say that the Li family was good.

It can be said that Wutong County could become what it is now because of the Li family.

If there were no Li family, the power of Qingfeng Valley and Tianhe Sect in Wutong County should still be half and half.

"Fellow Daoist Li has a good grasp of the timing. If he had taken action against the Wutong Sun family later, it would be difficult to do so now." After hearing Yan Xuewei's words, Fang Mingchang turned his attention to Li Qianqing.

Now the Li family is already a Jindan cultivation family. Under the constraints of the potential rules of the Zhao State, it is not easy to take action openly between the foundation-building forces. If they want to take action, they can only do it secretly.

"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded in agreement, "Our Li family is also lucky."

"It's really lucky."

Wei Gongshi responded, but he was more referring to Li Qianqing's good luck and sufficient opportunities. He succeeded in Jindan with three spiritual roots, and his age seemed to be less than 120 years old.

There is an old saying in the cultivation world of the Five Kingdoms: before Jindan, talent is the main factor, and after Jindan, opportunity is the main factor.

The meaning is very clear. Judging from Li Qianqing's current situation, he should be the most likely cultivator to reach the peak of Jindan among all the Jindan cultivators present, and the most likely cultivator to enter the Yuanying stage.

But after the Li family became a Jindan Xiuxian family, both the Wei family and the Fang family carefully collected information about the Li family, especially Li Qianqing's personal situation.

Previously, it seemed that some of the legendary colors of Li Qianqing of the Li family were more for momentum, that is, to make Li Qianqing better become the patriarch of the family in the future. Now it seems that the possibility of momentum is rare, and what they said should be true.

The four people discussed the current situation of Zhao State and came to a conclusion that after the Li family became a Jindan Xiuxian family, it was more stable in Zhao State.

If the Li family is still a top Xiuxian family, then the two foundation-building Xiuxian families of the An family and the Tian family in Weishui County next to Wutong County may also take action against the Li family in the future under the arrangement of Tianhe Sect, but now there is almost no possibility of taking action.

If the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family takes the initiative to provoke the Pill Formation Immortality Cultivation Family, and the Pill Formation Immortality Cultivation Family destroys it, it will be difficult for the sect behind the Foundation Establishment Immortality Cultivation Family to take action without taking any action.

In this way, Tianhe Sect and Qingfeng Valley basically can't fight here. The local situation is stable, and the overall situation in Zhao State is naturally more stable.

You must know that at the Pill Formation Banquet held by Li Qianqing, all the foundation-building monks of the Li family have returned to Evergreen Mountain. There are three spiritual vein places in Wutong County that need to be guarded during the foundation-building period. There are no monks to guard them now. As long as a monk is sent to guard them. If Brother Ji goes over, it will be easier to capture these three spiritual places, but do the An family or the Tian family dare to do this?

If you dare, the Li family can wipe them out this year.

Even if the other party's top management loses their minds, they probably won't make such a decision.

From the Ma family and the Chen family of Wutong County, Ma Xuanzong and Chen Changsheng came to attend Li Qianqing's elixir banquet this time.

Li Qianqing succeeded in forming an elixir, and the Li family became an elixir-forming and immortal cultivating family. When the news first reached their ears, they couldn't believe it at first, and then they were happy.

Originally, when the Li family was still a top foundation-building immortal cultivating family, with the Li family's style, the possibility of taking action against them was very slim. Now that the Li family has become a core-building immortal cultivating family, even this slim possibility is gone.

Because the Li family is already a core-building force, but they are still a foundation-building force, and they both belong to Qingfeng Valley.

The four major sects all do not want to see the Alchemy Immortal Cultivation Family that is half-affiliated and half-cooperative with them, possessing more territory and more spiritual veins.

There is a degree to this.

The Li family has a good grasp of this situation, and with the help of Yan Xuewei, there is no problem under normal circumstances.

For Li Qianqing, it would be fine if the Li family's strategy could be a little more aggressive in the future. After all, their apparent strength was that of an early-stage pill-forming monk and a third-level low-grade puppet, but they still had to be stable.

When things go to extremes, they must be reversed, and a particularly anxious development would be detrimental to a family.

At dusk.

Li Qianqing's elixir knotting banquet is over.

He first sent Fang Mingchang and Wei Gongshi away, and finally sent Yan Xuewei away.

Yan Xuewei was the last monk to leave the Dan Dan Banquet. The Li family still had many things to do for Duan Rongrong, so she still needed to stay here for a while.

For example, in Evergreen Mountain, at least five more caves for foundation-building monks to practice will now be opened, and these caves must be equipped with second-order miniature spirit gathering arrays.

"Rongrong, from now on you can live with Qianqing." Yan Xuewei looked at Duan Rongrong and joked.

With that said, if Duan Rongrong had been in Xiangshui County, there would be one less formation elder in Qingfeng Valley, and the trouble would be her, Yan Xuewei.

"It would be great if our Li family could also have an formation master, so that we could have Rongrong as our teacher." Li Qianqing said using the topic, and what he said was true.

"That's right." Yan Xuewei nodded, "This will make us more intimate."

Yan Xuewei and Li Qianqing were talking to each other one by one. Duan Rongrong, the person involved, basically said nothing. She only nodded her head occasionally and responded with body language. If the Li family really has a talent for formation in the future, she will naturally Don't mind taking on a disciple.

Finally, under the gazes of Li Qianqing and Duan Rongrong, Yan Xuewei disappeared into the distant sky.

"Rongrong, go back and have a good rest. I have to ask you for the next step..." Li Qianqing smiled at Duan Rongrong.

A cave has been prepared for her in the Evergreen Mountains, and the opening of caves in other spiritual places has also begun.

"There is no need to be polite between us." Under the influence of Yan Xuewei and later Li Qianqing herself, Li Qianqing's status in her heart can now be ranked among the top five, and the first is naturally Yan Xuewei.

"Okay, let's go up."

"Um."

…

Early June.

Li Qiuben prepared for today as planned.

After looking for his thirteenth great-grandfather, he found an extra foundation-building pill in his hand.

A few days ago, the family held a core high-level meeting. While discussing the future development of the family, another focus was on changing the internal rules of the family.

The current Li family is a family that cultivates immortality by forming pills, which is different from the family that cultivates immortality with foundation. In the past, as long as the monks with dual spiritual roots reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, they were basically the core members of the family.

Nowadays, if you want to become a core member of the family, you must break through to the foundation building stage unless there are special circumstances. As for the so-called special circumstances, he, Li Qiuben, has a plant body and is a monk with dual spiritual roots.

The ordinary senior members of the family are no longer at the ninth level of Qi refining, but must cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.

After the news spread, the family members didn't have any objections. After all, they were already a family of alchemy cultivators, so it was normal for such a change to happen.

In a family of alchemy cultivators, it would be abnormal if a cultivator in the Qi refining stage could easily become the family's core high-level executive.

As the foundation building seeds of the family, the double spiritual roots can be cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. If you have the fire spirit root, you can still access the tenth level of Qi refining.

When we were still a family building foundations and cultivating immortals, we must not expose our possession of the tenth-level Qi-refining technique. If exposed, there would be big problems. Qingfeng Valley would definitely send elders to obtain this ten-level Qi-refining technique, even with Yan Xuewei's help. , at most, Qingfeng Valley will give them more benefits to the Li family.

Now that they are a family of alchemy cultivators, even if it is not a big problem to reveal that they possess the tenth level of Qi refining technique, the Li family is already capable of guarding it, but it is definitely best if such news is not exposed.

It’s just that now the Li family can use the tenth level of Qi Refining techniques with more peace of mind. At the same time, the most important point is that if the family has a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, they can still cultivate it, and the external pressure can be easily dealt with.

When Li Xunming detected the wind spiritual root, some core members of the family were happy, but they were also worried that the family was so lucky. What if a cultivator with a natural spiritual root appeared soon? At that time, if the Li family had a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, they could basically only send him to Qingfeng Valley. If they dared to conceal it, the Li family would always be targeted by the upper sect.

After becoming a Jindan cultivation family, the core members had no worries in their hearts, and they hoped that the family would have a cultivator with a natural spiritual root in the future.

When they hoped that the family would have a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, they felt that the family’s luck was not so good, and it would be good to have another cultivator with a different spiritual root.

“I must succeed in building my foundation!”

In the cave, Li Qiuben, who was fully opening the spirit gathering array, cheered himself up and calmed down his current state of mind.

Now he knows very well how much help he will give to the family when he succeeds in building his foundation.

Therefore, he felt that he would not fail in building his foundation, and he must not let down his family's cultivation of him, especially his thirteenth great-grandfather.

Only after the foundation is successfully built, he can go further on the path of spiritual plants. When he is still in the Qi Refining Stage, he cannot practice the exercises that can ripen spiritual medicines.

After the spiritual medicine can be ripened, it will be more convenient for him to study and improve, which will save a lot of time. Moreover, when practicing to the foundation building stage, the important thing is the increase in Yuanshou, which will give him more time in the future. If he can successfully form a pill, he will become the most accomplished spiritual plant master in the Five Kingdoms in the future.

After everything was ready, Li Qiuben took the foundation building pill and started to build his foundation.

For him, the time of retreat to break through the foundation building passed very quickly.

With the addition of spiritual root talent, special physique and foundation building pill, his chances of successfully building the foundation are as high as 80%, not to mention that he has also read the foundation building experience compiled by his elders, which makes his success rate of building the foundation even higher.

Time soon came to mid-July.

The aura of Li Qiuben in the cave has changed.

The process of breaking through from the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining to the foundation-building stage was very smooth for him, and there was basically no place for him to get stuck.

"It's easier than I thought." Li Qiuben, who had completed the breakthrough, felt his own changes and was in a very good mood.

Entering the foundation-building stage, he can finally practice the corresponding foundation-building exercises, and at the same time take care of all the third-level spiritual fields in Changqing Mountain, as well as some second-level spiritual fields.
