Chapter 388: The Deep and the Visitors

Although the cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots are not 100% sure to form a pill, when they reach the peak of foundation building, they are normally around 100 years old, so they have at least three chances to form a pill.

The cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots who have a high probability of forming a pill can generally form a pill within two attempts.

Li Qianqing plans to keep the fact that his family has a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots a secret for as long as possible. The family is now strong enough not to be afraid of the family having a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots being known, but it will also cause minor troubles.

At the current stage of development of the family, it is good for such small troubles to come later.

At present, among outsiders, it is necessary to tell them that the only cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots in the Li family is Yan Xuewei.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Xuewei broke through to the middle stage of forming a pill two years ago. If the master of Qingfeng Valley can also break through successfully, she will be the new master of Qingfeng Valley.

"Ancestor, hello." Li Zhonghao saluted Li Qianqing.

"Yeah."

Li Qianqing nodded gently. This junior didn't look very smart, but he had long stopped judging people by appearance. Judging people is like looking at problems. If you only see the superficial problems and don't look at the deeper problems, it will be difficult to solve the problems.

Those who can give birth to spiritual roots and become cultivators are basically not stupid.

Li Qianqing thought that this child should be quite smart. As for his almost adult body at the age of nine, this doesn't mean anything.

If growing fast is related to the birth of spiritual roots, he doesn't mind using some means to speed up the growth of mortal children.

Li Zhonghao found that his ancestor didn't feel strange when he looked at him, as if it was natural for him to grow up like this. He had only seen this kind of eyes on his mother. Even his father sometimes looked at him with a strange look.

"Grandmaster, don't you think I'm strange? I'm only nine years old. Children of my age are usually this tall." Li Zhonghao said, and gestured with his hand at his waist.

Li Qianqing chuckled and shook his head, "I don't think so. This is normal."

"Normal? Why?"

"You will understand when you have more experience." Li Qianqing told the truth. The more experience he has, the fewer things he will find strange.

"Oh." Li Zhonghao nodded in a seemingly dull manner.

This child doesn't look very smart, mainly because of this body, coupled with this young face. Through a simple conversation, Li Qianqing knew that Li Zhonghao was much smarter than children of the same age.

"Next, I will officially teach you the first course in the world of immortal cultivation. You must listen carefully. I can ask questions at any time during the process..."

The first guidance and training for the Tianlinggen cultivator is slightly different from that for the Dual Linggen cultivator.

During this training, Li Qianqing focused on the sense of mission of the Li family cultivators. The normal growth of a Tianlinggen cultivator is basically a stable Jindan cultivator. At this stage, Jindan cultivators are still the backbone of the Li family. When the family becomes stronger, Jindan cultivators, like foundation-building cultivators, can only be regarded as the backbone. It will take hundreds of years for him to become stronger, at least until he breaks the pill and becomes an infant.

Single earth spirit root.

After building the foundation, Li Zhonghao's cultivation method, Li Qianqing is ready at this moment.

The higher the level of cultivation method, the better, but it should be based on one's own situation. For Li Zhonghao, who has excellent cultivation talent, giving him a more difficult method after building the foundation will be more beneficial to his future.

Although cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are also cultivators, the true cultivation of immortals and the foundation building are just the beginning. It is only after the foundation building that the life level will change and have a longer lifespan. At most, Qi Refining can only extend the lifespan that mortals can originally live to the end. Some mortals without illness and disasters can easily live to more than a hundred years old.

"... Ancestor, what is my spiritual root talent?" When talking about the spiritual root, Li Zhonghao couldn't help asking.

He knew that he had a good talent. From the reaction of the grandfather who tested the spiritual root before, and the guidance of the ancestor himself, it was easy to think of these, but he didn't know what his talent was specifically.

"Single spiritual root, attribute earth."

"It's a heavenly spiritual root!" Li Zhonghao was still a little surprised at his talent. He thought he was a double spiritual root cultivator and had great hope of building a foundation in the future.

"Well, the family currently has only you as a heavenly spiritual root cultivator. Don't let me down. The future family's heavenly spiritual root cultivators need you to be a role model. I hope you can be there when they appear." Li Qianqing has high expectations for Li Zhonghao.

Now that the family has a spiritual root cultivator, who knows if there will be another one in a few hundred years.

"Grandpa, I will work hard!" Li Zhonghao nodded. This was the first time he felt how important he was.

"If you work hard to cultivate normally, your future achievements will at least reach my current level."

"Grandpa, what realm are you in now?"

"Middle Jindan period." Li Qianqing replied. Successfully breaking through to the Jindan period, it is not difficult for a spiritual root cultivator to cultivate to the peak of the middle Jindan period. For cultivators with such talent, the first difficulty should be the breakthrough from the peak of the middle Jindan period to the late Jindan period.

At present, there are more than 40 Jindan period cultivators in Zhao State, and only two in the late Jindan period.

The cultivators who can break through to the Jindan period are all outstanding in the foundation-building period. The fact that the late Jindan period can stop so many Jindan cultivators is enough to show how difficult it is to break through.

From sun to dusk.

Li Qianqing's first training and guidance for Li Zhonghao also ended.

"This is the Qi-inducing Art. Come to me when you have learned it well." Unlike the children he trained before, Li Qianqing did not give him three days.

Li Qianqing's original intention in doing this was to hope that Li Zhonghao would come to him in two days.

"Yes, ancestor."

"I will take you to my residence now, and then send you to where you will live for the next three years."

All the children of the family he trained were very close to where he, the patriarch, lived.

...

Time flies.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It has been four years since Li Xunting successfully formed a pill.

At present, only the core members of the family and the three Qi-refining clan members who went to test their spiritual roots knew that the family had given birth to Li Zhonghao, a cultivator with a natural spiritual root. In the two years of cultivation, Li Zhonghao did not disappoint Li Qianqing.

Since giving Li Zhonghao the Qi-inducing Art, he has never let him down. He estimated that Li Zhonghao would come to him in two days, but he came in one day.

After that, he entered the middle stage of Qi Refining after one year of cultivation. Now, Li Zhonghao, who is still eleven years old, has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. It is certain that he will reach the sixth level of Qi Refining after the three-year period. Some may even reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

This is the terrifying cultivation speed of the cultivators with natural spiritual roots!

Of course, this is also related to Li Zhonghao's own efforts.

Many cultivators envy his cultivation speed and the improvement of his strength, but Li Zhonghao also has his own troubles. He has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and his face seems to have not changed much from two years ago.

After learning more about the knowledge of the immortal world, Li Zhonghao also learned about special physiques. His great-great-aunt was a cultivator with a special physique. He also asked the ancestor about this. The answer he got was that he did not have any special physique, but just grew up like this.

"Four years..."

Li Qianqing is in front of Li Lilong's cave at this moment.

Four years have passed since the fourth uncle went into seclusion. Although Li Qianqing felt that Li Lilong might have passed away, he couldn't do anything at this time. What if the fourth uncle was still breaking through? There was still a little hope. If he disturbed him, all his efforts would be wasted.

It takes at most five years to seclude from foundation building to Dan formation. If Li Lilong still hasn't made any movement next year, he will definitely pass away.

Li Qianqing sighed and returned to the cave.

When he came back, he saw Li Qiujing standing at the entrance of the cave.

After Li Lilong went into seclusion, he handed over more affairs in Changqing Mountain to Li Qiujing, who was careful in his work.

"Thirteenth great-grandfather."

"What happened?" Li Qianqing asked.

Only when it was important would Li Qiujing come to the clan leader's cave to find him.

"Shen Zhongtian from the Xinyue Shen family asked to see you. He said he must see you. Now he is waiting in the reception room..."

Shen family?

Li Qianqing was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Shen family cultivator would come to him at this time.

After Li Xunting formed the elixir, they had a reason to increase the number of mortals again. They had not yet officially planned to attack the Xinyue Shen family, because if the situation continued like this, it would be most beneficial to their Li family.

Although Yan Xuewei said that if they wanted to attack the Xinyue Shen family, it would be better to do it quickly, but Li Qianqing did not want to break the balance too early. With the current strength of their Li family, it would not matter if they joined the game later.

"I know."

Li Qianqing wanted to see what the Xinyue Shen family wanted to do here at this time.

In his heart, he estimated that the Shen family probably hoped that their Li family would not attack their Shen family in the future. This was the biggest possibility, but other possibilities could not be ruled out.

In the reception room.

Shen Zhongtian, who was in the late stage of foundation building, stood and waited. Although he seemed calm, he was very anxious in his heart.

Putting aside other things, he was worried that Li Qianqing would not come to see him. After all, Li Qianqing was also a elixir cultivator, and he was also the patriarch of the family. According to their understanding, there was only one elixir cultivator in Weishui County, Li Xunming, and Li Xunting was also in Changqing Mountain.

If he wanted to see a Jindan cultivator, he could have gone to Li Xunting.

In the final analysis, he was a foundation-building cultivator with little weight. If the ancestor came, it would be easy for him to ask to see Li Qianqing.

The clan leader had told him that he must see Li Qianqing on this trip and talk to him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to have more than 95% guarantee if he talked to other cultivators of the Li family. This matter was related to the future of the family, and it must be as stable as possible.

"Senior Li, I am Shen Zhongtian, and I am here to greet you."

Seeing that the person coming was Li Qianqing, Shen Zhongtian's heart was relieved.

He was happy and surprised to see Li Qianqing. When he approached Li Qianqing, he knew that Li Qianqing was no longer a Jindan early stage cultivator, but a Jindan middle stage cultivator!

As for when Li Qianqing entered the Jindan middle stage, their Shen family had no information at all. Four years ago, when Li Xunting held the Jindan feast, there was no news at all. Shen Zhongtian estimated that Li Qianqing might have broken through and entered the Jindan middle stage within these four years.

One in the middle stage of Jindan and two in the early stage of Jindan, this undoubtedly means that the Li family is stronger than they expected.

"Yeah." Li Qianqing nodded lightly.

After he sat in the main seat in the reception room, he signaled Shen Zhongtian that he could sit down.

"Thank you, senior." When Shen Zhongtian sat down, he was still thinking whether to increase the stakes. After all, Li Qianqing's current realm is not the early stage of Jindan but the middle stage of Jindan.

Li Qianqing's breath was not deliberately restrained, indicating that the other party probably guessed his intention.

"You came to me specifically, tell me, what's the matter?" Li Qianqing looked at Shen Zhongtian and asked directly.

"First of all, thank you for meeting me." Shen Zhongtian thanked him. Although the Li family and the Shen family had not fought each other, they were hostile to each other.

As for Li Qianqing coming to see him directly, and coming very quickly, without deliberately leaving him alone, he had a good impression of this senior.

"This time, I am here to represent the ancestor and the Shen family. I hope that you and your family cultivators will not attack us when the Tianhe Sect is destroyed." Shen Zhongtian thought that Li Qianqing should like to be straightforward, so he directly explained his intention and said a polite word.

Li Qianqing smiled slightly when he heard this, looked at Shen Zhongtian and said, "The Tianhe Sect is your superior sect. You Shen family don't want to do them a favor, but hope that they will perish."

"The person in charge is confused, and the bystander is clear. The senior should know that if the current situation continues, the Tianhe Sect will definitely perish." Shen Zhongtian smiled bitterly.

As early as when Li Xunting was forming a pill, they had planned to come to the Li family, but they still thought that the Zhao royal family might end up, so they waited a few years to try.

This was to ensure that there was no risk of error. If the Li family had negotiated peace in the past few years, and the Zhao royal family had ended up, then their Shen family would be in a very embarrassing situation.

Now they are sure that the Zhao royal family will not end up, and the Tianhe Sect will definitely be destroyed under the siege of the three sects.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Once the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, these families who have formed a pill and cultivated immortals must find a way out for themselves.

"It seems that your Shen family thinks that the Zhao royal family will not end up."

"Yes, senior." Shen Zhongtian nodded, and then continued, "The senior's family is now constantly developing, and it is faintly becoming the first of our eleven families. At this time, the senior must pay attention to the Zhao royal family. They are the ones who least want to see you rise."

Shen Zhongtian said good things.

He knew that Li Qianqing must also understand these things, but this did not prevent him from thinking for them from the perspective of the Li family. The reason for saying these good things was naturally that he hoped that the Li family would not ask for too much.

"Can your Shen family help us deal with the Zhao royal family?" Li Qianqing understood Shen Zhongtian's little thoughts, but these words were still very useful.

Now for their Li family, the one who least wants to see them rise is the Zhao royal family.

Then there is Qingfeng Valley.

If Yan Xuewei can become the master of Qingfeng Valley, and the current master becomes the supreme elder, then her voice in Qingfeng Valley will be much greater. At that time, Qingfeng Valley's overall view of their Li family will tend to be non-interference. (End of this chapter)
