Chapter 389 Sincerity and the Next One

As for Qingfeng Valley helping their Li family develop, it is almost impossible unless Li Qianqing can buy off all the Jindan cultivators in Qingfeng Valley.

The Jindan sect is very large. In addition to external conflicts, the internal conflicts are much greater than those of normal Jindan cultivation families.

Qingfeng Valley does not interfere with the development of their Li family, which is already the best result.

This result can only be achieved after Yan Xuewei becomes the master of Qingfeng Valley.

"If this matter can be negotiated, what the senior said is not impossible." Shen Zhongtian thought about it and decided to be sincere. "But the help we give can only be in secret, and it cannot be done openly. I hope the senior can understand."

"It's good to have secret help." Li Qianqing nodded, and was quite satisfied with Shen Zhongtian's answer, "Tell me, if we don't take action, what are your conditions?"

Since the other party chose to be sincere with him, he also chose to be sincere, without asking for a sky-high price, and let the other party speak to see what the Shen family can give to the Li family.

The price given by the other party is not too low, and under the current situation, Li Qianqing can accept it.

As Shen Zhongtian said, after the Tianhe Sect was destroyed, the Zhao royal family should put a lot of pressure on the Li family. Therefore, the Li family did not want to continue to consume with the Shen family. If the Shen family could take the initiative to offer good conditions to avoid direct conflict between the two families, this would undoubtedly be the best.

Shen Zhongtian took out a map.

This is the map of Xinyue County. Xinyue County is a large county. The total area is larger than Xiangshui County, Wutong County and Weishui County.

As a veteran Jindan Xiuxian family in Xinyue County, the Shen family has influence in most of Xinyue County. In addition to the family ancestral land, it has a total of eleven spiritual veins. Among these spiritual veins, there are three spiritual veins with more than three micro spiritual veins.

"Senior, what our Shen family can offer is Qilong Peak and the spiritual veins on both sides." Shen Zhongtian said, while pointing to Li Qianqing on the map that was spread out vertically, "Qilong Peak has four micro spiritual veins, and it is also close to Weishui County. The two spiritual veins on the left and right, one has one micro spiritual vein, and the other has two... This is the greatest sincerity that our Shen family can give."

In Shen Zhongtian's plan, the conditions offered to the Li family were not like this.

At first, he said Qilong Peak, and then added some spiritual stones, and then he could give the Li family room to increase the price.

But after communicating with Li Qianqing, he chose to directly offer the bottom line of their Shen family, which was also the most they could offer. Any more would really not work.

Shen Zhongtian felt that Li Qianqing was not the kind of greedy cultivator, so he dared to say so.

"Senior, after you have these spiritual veins, you will gradually have influence in Xinyue County. During this period, our Shen family will not do anything."

After the spiritual veins are guarded by monks, the Li family will definitely increase their influence in Xinyue County. This is also one of the conditions set by their Shen family. They will not interfere with the expansion of the Li family.

After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, it will be difficult for the Li family to expand. At this time, the Zhao royal family, which is silent, should take action when they expand.

"What do you think, senior?" Shen Zhongtian said everything he should say, and then it depends on Li Qianqing.

Li Qianqing nodded, "You can see the sincerity of your Shen family. I am very satisfied."

He was speaking the truth. To be honest, the things given by the Shen family were more than he thought. As for what Shen Zhongtian said later about not interfering with their expansion, he ignored it directly. Now is a good time to expand, but it will not be later.

The things that the Shen family gave to the Li family must not be given now, but will be taken out after the Tianhe Sect is destroyed.

If we give them to the Li family now, it means telling the Tianhe Sect that we have given up resistance.

"When will the spiritual vein land be given to us?" Although he knew it in his heart, Li Qianqing still had to ask.

"After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, the senior can send someone to take over." After thinking for a while, Shen Zhongtian added, "Before that, our Shen family will take good care of the resources produced in the spiritual vein land. The senior can rest assured about this."

"Yes, it's okay."

It was almost time to talk about this, and Shen Zhongtian was relieved, because he thought well. Li Qianqing was not the kind of greedy cultivator. In this case, he would not ask for a sky-high price. After showing sincerity, the discussion was still very smooth.

At the same time, he also understood that his decision was right. If he gave very little at the beginning, the other party might not agree when he offered this price in the end.

"Senior, my mission here this time has been completed. If you have any instructions, you can tell me. If not, I will go back." The current period is quite special, and it is not good for Shen Zhongtian to stay in the Li family's ancestral land for too long.

"You go back." Li Qianqing smiled gently.

Shen Zhongtian of the Shen family really speaks well.

What could he need the Shen family to do? However, after Shen Zhongtian added this sentence, people felt very comfortable.

"Junior will take his leave first."

Shen Zhongtian stood up and bowed, then left.

After talking with the Li family, their Shen family was also safe. Tianhe Sect was destroyed. As long as the Li family did not take action against them, other Jindan Xiuxian families generally did not have any thoughts.

If you want to capture the Shen family, in addition to considering the strength of your own family, the location factor is also very important. The Danjie Immortal Cultivation Family, which is far away from Xinyue County, is normally not interested in the Shen family. Under such circumstances, occupying them The Shen family's spiritual land is also difficult to manage.

These factors are all based on the fact that there is no deep hatred between the Shen family and other alchemy cultivating families. If there is such a situation, all the previous factors will be overturned.

Shen Zhongtian walked very comfortably.

Li Qianqing was even more satisfied.

After talking to Shen Zhongtian, the Li family can capture three spiritual vein lands without using a little bit of power. One of the spiritual vein lands also has four miniature spiritual veins. The family foundation-building monks can guard it. side.

At the same time, the Li family also has a certain influence on Crescent County.

Li Qianqing felt that everything Shen Zhongtian said meant making good friends with the Li family. If the Shen family's behavior in the future was no different from Shen Zhongtian's, they would have nothing to do with Crescent County. Got an idea.

After all, they actually have a lot now.

Before the family's comprehensive strength is further improved, defending these territories is the most important thing.

'The family's development strategy in the next few years needs to be slightly adjusted...' Li Qianqing thought to himself.

Strategies are constantly changing based on changes in the actual situation. After that, without any monks, you can own three spiritual vein lands. The next most important thing is to develop and continue to expand the base of mortals, so as to Increase the number of family monks.

The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom is essentially a family that forms alchemy and cultivates immortality, but they have more than ten alchemy-forming monks, more than a hundred foundation-building monks, not to mention the number of Qi-refining level monks.

The ability of a Zhao royal family to deal with three Danjie sects is enough to show how powerful they are.

It is because they are not on the same level as the four major alchemy sects that they are one of the alchemy forces, so Yihuang was singled out as the last level of the Zhao Kingdom's alchemy forces.

…

Crescent County.

The ancestral land of the Shen family.

When Shen Zhongtian returned here, he immediately went to see the clan leader Shen Xingyuan.

"Zhongtian, are you back so soon?" Before Shen Zhongtian could speak, the head of the Shen family said immediately, "The talks have collapsed, right?"

The head of the Shen family immediately thought of this possibility, otherwise Shen Zhongtian would not have come back so soon.

Especially negotiations like this will take a long time, and finally there will be a result that both parties think is acceptable.

In his eyes, finishing the conversation quickly meant he was a loser.

"No." Shen Zhongtian shook his head, "We have reached an agreement. We will give the Li family three pieces of spiritual land. After the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, they will not take any action against us."

"That's good." When the head of the Shen family heard this, the sullenness in his heart disappeared, as long as it was settled.

Although the negotiations were settled, the head of the Shen family was still more concerned about the negotiation process because it was really fast.

When Shen Xingyuan asked about the negotiation, Shen Zhongtian answered truthfully and also explained the reason for the change in his conversation with Li Qianqing.

After listening, the head of the Shen family understood.

No wonder Shen Zhongtian returned to Crescent County so quickly. In addition to the reason Shen Zhongtian directly gave the most sincere reason, Li Qianqing did not leave him alone. After learning that he had come to see him in Changqing Mountain, the two of them soon fell in love with each other. Met.

"This Li Qianqing doesn't have the airs of a pill-forming monk."

"He doesn't have the airs of a family patriarch." Shen Zhongtian added.

The head of the Shen family glanced at Shen Zhongtian. He knew that this boy still wanted to talk about him, but seeing that he had completed the task so beautifully, he didn't care about it anymore.

When he thought of this, the head of the Shen family felt that there was something wrong with his thinking. He actually felt that Shen Zhongtian had completed the task beautifully. You must know that Shen Zhongtian directly gave their Shen family's bottom line.

He quickly thought of the reason for this idea.

It was because Shen Zhongtian came back so quickly at first that he thought the negotiation had failed. At that time, he was thinking that if he gave the Li family better conditions, the negotiation would not fail. Compared with the possible demise of the family, he would still give up more. The benefits are better.

"And the rules of the Li family are different from ours. The patriarch of their family is the eldest."

The Shen family is not the eldest clan leader, but the eldest ancestor in the pill formation stage.

According to the rules of their Shen family, after becoming a monk in the Danjie stage, they would live in seclusion behind the scenes. However, because of the presence of the ancestor, the actual power of being the head of the clan would be much smaller.

"You kid, just one word is enough. My position as the clan leader will generally be yours from now on. Let's see if you can do better then."

"Clan leader, you don't want me to form an elixir." Shen Zhongtian couldn't help but retort.

"You kid...forget it."

…

One year later.

Qingfeng Valley.

At this moment, four months have passed since Feng Xicheng, the master of Qingfeng Valley, went into retreat to attack the late stage of pill formation.

Normally, it takes three to six months to break through from the peak of the mid-stage pill formation to the late stage of the pill formation. If the breakthrough is not completed within half a year, it means that the breakthrough has failed.

Yan Xuewei, who was handling the affairs of Qingfeng Valley, suddenly stood up. The owner of Qingfeng Valley had already left seclusion.

During the period of the Qingfeng Valley Valley Master's retreat, some of the Valley Master's major affairs were mainly left to her to handle.

Now she is the third elder of Qingfeng Valley. After the great elder died at the end of his life a few years ago, the number in front of her, the fourth elder, became three.

There is no fourth Jindan elder in Qingfeng Valley at present, so there are only four Jindan cultivators in Qingfeng Valley now.

Among the Jindan cultivators, in addition to her and the master of Qingfeng Valley, the second elder is also in the valley, and the eldest elder is now in Longhui County.

The war in Longhui County is more intense, and the Longhui Wei family is on good terms with the eldest elder, so the task of supporting the Longhui Wei family naturally falls on his head. If there are more wars on the Li family, it should be Yan Xuewei who goes to support.

The border between Weishui County and Xinyue County, which is now occupied by the Li family, should be the quietest now.

Li Qianqing also told her that not fighting is the most in line with the interests of their Li family now, so if the Xinyue Shen family does not take action, normally their Li family will not take action.

Yan Xuewei understood that the biggest reason for the quietness of Weishui County was the current strength of the Li family. Facing a family of three-stage Jindan cultivators, even if she was the decision-maker of the Xinyue Shen family, she would not take the initiative to provoke the Li family under normal circumstances. When she could take the initiative to provoke the Li family, she would make sure that the Zhao royal family would end up.

Yan Xuewei knew very well that it was impossible to make the Zhao royal family end up, so the Xinyue Shen family was unlikely to take the initiative.

"Jindan late stage...success!" Yan Xuewei sensed that the breath of the master of Qingfeng Valley in the distance had changed. Now he was the third late Jindan cultivator in Zhao State.

Yan Xuewei appeared in front of the master of Qingfeng Valley and congratulated, "Congratulations to the master of the valley for successfully breaking through!"

"Hahaha, now I am no longer the master of the valley, you are." Feng Xicheng, who broke through to the late Jindan, was very happy and joked.

According to the rules of the valley, after breaking through to the late Jindan and completing the corresponding ceremony, he is the Grand Elder of Qingfeng Valley, and then he lives in seclusion behind the scenes to seek the possibility of Yuanying.

Now Feng Xicheng has not completed the ceremony, so he is not the Grand Elder of Qingfeng Valley.

"Have you adapted to the past few months?" Feng Xicheng asked after he regained his composure.

The Grand Elder of Qingfeng Valley can designate who will be the Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley. Feng Xicheng was appointed by the previous Grand Elder of Qingfeng Valley.

So when Feng Xicheng breaks through to the late Jindan stage, Yan Xuewei must be the next Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley. This is the person he designated.

"Adapt." Yan Xuewei nodded.

After that, she, the Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley, should be the most stable Valley Master. After all, she has a close relationship with the powerful Li family.

The outside world now ranks the Li family and the Fengyong Yu family on a par, and Yan Xuewei knows very well that because of Li Qianqing, the Li family is already stronger than the Yu family and is now the undisputed number one among the eleven families.

During Feng Xicheng's tenure, there was internal turmoil, and a big reason was that Feng Xicheng had no relationship with any affiliated Jindan Xiuxian family. (End of this chapter)
