Chapter 384: Chilling Air

When forming a pill in the false pill realm, the first three levels do not need to be passed, so the time for forming a pill will be much shorter.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, we have talked about it. Your eldest granddaughter will go into seclusion again to form a pill." Li Xunting smiled at Li Qianqing. After talking with Thirteenth Grandpa, she was more confident in herself.

"Well, go ahead."

He had a hunch that Li Xunting would succeed in forming a pill, which had never appeared when Li Xunming formed a pill.

Now in the false pill realm, coupled with the special physique of the ice spirit body, Li Xunting now has a good success rate in forming a pill. Although the possibility of failure is higher, it is already higher than most cultivators who are still in the foundation-building stage.

The stone door of the cave closed.

Li Qianqing stood there for a while and then left.

The warning to the Zhao royal family last year was effective. There should be no cultivators sent by the Zhao royal family in Xiangshui County now. The cultivators who can be sent are basically in the middle to late stages of Qi Refining. The possibility of sending cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining is very small.

Nevertheless, Li Qianqing also attracted attention in this regard.

As the family's strength continues to grow, Li Qianqing feels that it is very necessary to warn the Zhao royal family.

In this world, if you don't cause trouble, no one will bother you, unless your own strength is too strong. In Zhao, if the Li family develops according to the current situation, the Zhao royal family will not be able to stand it.

If they don't make some warnings at this time, the Zhao royal family's actions will only become more and more excessive.

The current period is quite special. The Zhao royal family will restrain their warnings. This is within Li Qianqing's expectations. When the Tianhe Sect is destroyed by the three sects, the Zhao royal family may come to trouble them.

This trouble will come immediately.

Now everyone in the Zhao Xiuxian world knows that your Zhao royal family has cooperated with the Tianhe Sect. They don't know when the Zhao royal family will end up and make a decision whether to end up. After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, they will at least be quiet for a while. This also shows that there is a reason for them not to end up.

If the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, they will immediately take action against their Li family. This means that when the three sects besieged the Tianhe Sect, the Zhao royal family deliberately did not intervene. Under the arrangement of their Li family, this topic will only spread more and more, and more and more cultivators will know the situation.

According to their Li family's investigation, the Zhao royal family loves face. If they don't love face, they will not care about the criticism of them by the Zhao domestic cultivation world. After all, strength is the foundation.

If such a situation really occurs, Li Qianqing is also prepared.

He is already in the Jindan stage, and his strength is even higher. With him guarding the Xiangshui River, even if the Zhao royal family sends half of the Jindan stage cultivators, they will be lost here.

This is the worst case scenario. While exposing his strength, the family will also shrink its power, and some spiritual veins will be lost.

According to Li Qianqing's calculation, the possibility of the worst case scenario is very small, and the possibility of the best case scenario is 10%.

The best case scenario is that the Zhao royal family will have more than a hundred years and will continue to let their Li family develop.

The other situations are relatively ordinary. The Zhao royal family took action against their Li family between thirty and fifty years after the Tianhe Sect was destroyed. If Li Xunting succeeded in forming a pill, this time would be between twenty and forty years.

When Li Qianqing does something, he likes to think about the best situation, the general situation, and the worst situation, and then estimate their possibilities. The more information he has, the more accurate the estimate will be.

Li Qianqing returned to the cave and began to practice the first of the "Three Wonders of Destroying Gods", hoping to practice the first to the great success level before he is over 200 years old.

This year he is already 200 years old, and next year he will be 201 years old.

For a Jindan cultivator, this age is very young.

The age of a Jindan cultivator is young before the age of 300. The calculation method is different from that of ordinary people. Judging from the appearance alone, when a Jindan cultivator begins to age, it means that his Yuanshou is less than one year left.

At this time, it is difficult for Jindan-level cultivators to control the changes in their appearance. As for Yuanying-level cultivators, as long as they want to control it, they can control it well before they die.

Foundation-building cultivators are generally difficult to control ten years before their Yuanshou is exhausted, while Qi-refining cultivators cannot control it. However, due to their physical constitution, they will have obvious aging in their appearance after the age of sixty when their Qi and blood begin to be lost.

The following year.

June.

At the end of last year, Li Qianqing successfully cultivated the first of the three divine secret arts of "Destroying Gods" to the great success, and then began to cultivate the second.

After the first divine secret art entered the great success realm, his strength was significantly improved.

Unlike the divine secret arts he had cultivated before, "Three Divine Secrets" has the ability to directly kill cultivators. In layman's terms, it can erase their consciousness without the need for additional finishing blows.

The spiritual consciousness secret technique used before, even if the opponent is only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, with a huge difference in spiritual consciousness, cannot directly kill the cultivator. Take the "Empty Divine Needle" for example. Now Li Qianqing can turn most of the cultivators in the foundation building period into idiots, but the opponent still won't die, and can be treated with some special spiritual objects.

So in this case, if you want to really kill the opponent, you need to make an additional attack. The ultimate effect of the mysterious secret technique "Psychedelic Heart" is to make the opponent fall into an endless illusion, but it still cannot be killed directly.

If a cultivator who can withstand the "Three Absolute Gods" can only withstand it, he will definitely become an idiot.

Today, Li Qianqing is practicing as usual.

There was a knock on the stone door, interrupting his practice.

"Come in."

As his voice spread, the family cultivator who came in was his fourth uncle Li Lilong.

Li Lilong is much older now than before. He has aged very quickly in recent years, which means that his life span is about to run out.

Li Lilong is now over 220 years old. The life span of a normal foundation-building cultivator is between 220 and 230 years old.

"Qianqing, I'm going to close my mind." Li Lilong said directly.

His main purpose of coming here is to talk about this matter. Two days ago, he had handed over all his affairs.

There are many foundation-building cultivators in the Li family now, so it is convenient for him to hand over his affairs. He handed over different contents according to the different personalities of the family cultivators. For example, if there is patient Li Xingwei, he will hand over the family's affairs of guiding and training three spiritual roots cultivators to him.

"Fourth uncle, have you told Yinyin about this?" Li Qianqing asked.

For Li Lilong's death retreat, the possibility of forming a pill is almost negligible. If he can form a pill successfully, it must be a miracle. He has experienced a lot in his previous life, and he rarely sees a peak foundation-building cultivator who died before his life span was exhausted and then formed a pill successfully.

Li Lilong came here now, basically to see him for the last time.

"I just told her." Li Lilong smiled, his old face full of wrinkles.

In the end, he must see his daughter.

He also knew that this was the last time he saw his daughter.

Before the death retreat, he felt a little regretful that he did not see Li Xunting come out of retreat to see if Li Xunting had formed a pill successfully.

He could feel that he didn't have many years left, and he couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, there would be no hope of forming a pill.

To form a pill, at least you have to be alive to form a pill, and forming a pill takes time. If the life span is exhausted during the process of forming a pill, it is impossible to form a pill successfully. Therefore, before forming the elixir, one must have several years of life.

"That's good." Li Qianqing nodded. It was difficult for him to say anything at this time. He had already said what he should say.

It was meaningless to say these words now.

"Qianqing, I still don't regret my decision."

"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded, "I wish you a smooth elixir formation."

This was the least confident sentence Li Qianqing had said so far. He certainly hoped that his fourth uncle could succeed in forming the elixir, but it felt a bit like he was deceiving himself.

Li Xunting is now in the cave used by the family to form the elixir.

Even if the cave is empty now, Li Lilong will not go there to close the dead, and close the dead is usually in his own cave.

Li Lilong's own cave is no worse than the family's cave used for forming the elixir. The reason why the family set up such a cave is mainly for good luck, just like the cave used for foundation building.

Now that there are more cultivators in the family, sometimes when there are multiple cultivators who want to build a foundation, the one who occupies the cave first will use it first, and the cultivators who come later will also have caves for them to build their foundations. Of course, if they must use the caves that many of the family’s ancestors used to build their foundations, they can wait. Building a foundation is different from forming a pill. The longest time for building a foundation is only three months, and the longest time for forming a pill is five years.

After Li Lilong left.

Li Qianqing couldn’t help but sighed softly.

After that, he started practicing again. He was still very open-minded about these things, but it was a pity that no matter whether it was Li Lilong or Li Qianyin, his advice was useless.

Whether it was building a foundation or forming a pill, in his opinion, the higher the success rate, the better, maybe a little more will succeed, which is also uncertain.

The family has been able to develop to the current level, which is much better than he predicted a hundred years ago. Now it is still an opportunity for them, the Li family, with this opportunity, there will be more and more cultivators in the family, and when there are many cultivators in the family, there will be more cultivators with good talents and special physiques. When these cultivators grow up, the family can develop further.

With this continuous cycle, and with him as the patriarch as the pillar, the family can continue to become stronger.

Li Qianqing's recent goal is that before he reaches the late stage of Jindan, the family should have three Jindan cultivators besides him, and the number of foundation-building cultivators should be better than 30.

He still has a lot of confidence in achieving this goal. It would be more difficult to produce three Jindan cultivators than 30 foundation-building cultivators. Now there is only one Li Xunming. If Li Xunting really succeeds in Jindan, then this goal will be much easier.

On the premise that Li Xunting succeeds in Jindan, Li Qianqing hopes that the next Jindan cultivator in the family will be Li Qiuben.

Li Qiuben, who has a plant body, his growth is of great help to the family, especially when the number of foundation-building cultivators and Jindan cultivators in the family is gradually increasing.

July.

Early autumn.

The weather is still very hot at this moment, but it is also getting cooler.

There are many Li family cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training at the foot of Changqing Mountain, taking care of the family's spiritual fields.

Currently, the first-level spiritual fields in Changqing Mountain are basically at the foot of Changqing Mountain. In places where the spiritual energy is more abundant in the mountain, the spiritual fields are all above the second level.

"What happened? Why did it suddenly become so cold?"

The young monk of the family who was still taking care of the spiritual field shuddered. It was very hot at noon, and the temperature dropped directly, and it dropped very quickly, which made people feel particularly cold. Normally, the temperature dropped to this temperature, which was just a small problem for monks.

"Look at the mountain! It's all foggy."

"No! I think it should be cold air."

"What happened in the mountain?"

"Continue to do our own things. With the clan leader in the mountain, even if there is a problem in the mountain, it will be solved quickly."

"..."

When the temperature around dropped just a little bit, Li Qianqing sensed something unusual.

His face was immediately full of smiles.

"Tingting succeeded in forming the elixir!"

He knew very well what the reason was for the change in temperature around him. This was the effect of the ice spirit body. The monks with the ice spirit body, after deeply developing the potential of this physique during the foundation-building period, will further stimulate the potential of the ice spirit body after the success of forming the elixir, thus causing this phenomenon.

His world did not study special physiques much, which was far behind the spirit world, so such a situation would basically not occur in the mortal world.

Before the strange phenomena of heaven and earth appeared, Li Qianqing knew in advance that Li Xunting had successfully formed a pill.

When this situation occurred, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth were about to come.

Not long after leaving the cave.

A mutant gold-eating rat appeared on Li Qianqing's shoulder. He smiled when he saw it, and took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to Shushu.

Shushu's appearance here means that Li Xingsheng is coming.

"Thirteenth uncle." After seeing Li Qianqing, Li Xingsheng immediately bowed. Seeing Shushu on Thirteenth uncle's shoulder, Li Xingsheng was also quite helpless.

He couldn't catch up with Shushu's speed at all. Even if he was lucky enough to break through the late stage of foundation building and cultivate to the peak of foundation building, he couldn't keep up with such a speed.

And Shushu could only go to Li Qianqing if he could run like this in front of him.

Shushu's perception is very sensitive. When the temperature changes, Shushu immediately notices and tells him.

"Do you know what happened?" Li Xingsheng asked quickly.

Li Qianqing smiled and replied, "The elixir has been formed successfully."

Li Xingsheng quickly understood that the only one who could form an elixir successfully now was Li Xunting. The fourth grandfather had closed his eyes and formed an elixir a month ago. The possibility of forming an elixir was very small, and it was even more impossible to complete the elixir in one month. Even a cultivator with a natural spiritual root would need a year to form an elixir.

With such a change in temperature, through the reminder of Thirteenth Uncle, even if there were other conditions, it was easier to think that Li Xunting, who had an ice spirit body, had formed an elixir successfully. (End of this chapter)
