Chapter 404 Help

Calculating the time, it has been nearly two years since Li Qiuben reached the peak of foundation building.

During this period, a monk with dual spiritual roots and a body of vegetation should also be ready.

"Yes, Thirteenth Great Grandfather." Li Qiuben nodded, "I'm ready to form the elixir."

After nearly two years of preparation, Li Qiuben became more confident about forming his own elixir.

"Well, come with me."

Once Li Qiuben succeeds in forming the elixir, the family will basically not have to worry about the elixir for the next three hundred years. The monks who contribute more to the family have more cultivation resources and can practice faster. The current Li family is all about this. direction development.

Li Qianqing himself also has confidence in Li Qiuben's alchemy. The body of grass and trees plus the alchemy spiritual object Xuanfu wood, this alchemy spiritual object is very suitable for monks like Li Qiuben.

For most dual spiritual root monks, it usually takes about two years to break through from the peak of foundation building to forming a core, if the breakthrough is successful.

Now that Li Qiuben is in retreat, Li Qianqing hopes to see the results in two years.

The monks of the Li family are in the Alchemy Cave.

After Li Qiuben opened the spirit gathering array with all his strength, he sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit gathering array and took out the special jade box from the high-end storage bag.

"Mysterious Talisman Wood."

Looking at the pill-forming spiritual object in front of him, Li Qiuben, who was already confident, became even more confident that he could successfully form the pill.

The mysterious talisman wood was under his control, floating in front of his forehead.

Breaking through the core formation officially begins!

…

About a month after Li Qiuben went into retreat and achieved alchemy, a meeting was held in Qingfeng Valley.

The monks at this meeting, in addition to the master of Qingfeng Valley, are the three major alchemy elders of Qingfeng Valley. The Supreme Elder has retired behind the scenes and does not participate in any meetings under normal circumstances, but the master of Qingfeng Valley has the obligation to Inform the Supreme Elder of important matters, including the content of the meeting.

This is also the reason why the owner of Qingfeng Valley can be appointed by the Supreme Elder.

Since the establishment of Qingfeng Valley, as long as there are people in the valley who have made breakthroughs and become supreme elders in the late stage of pill formation, they are in the same faction as the valley owner.

In addition to discussing matters within the valley, the meeting between the valley owner and Elder Jiedan also discussed many matters outside the valley.

Whoever thinks something is more important will bring it up at the meeting, and then others will usually join the discussion. If they don't want to participate in the discussion, they don't have to speak.

"The Li family is now a family that cultivates immortals with three knots of pills. Although they are still an affiliated force of our Qingfeng Valley, in the end they are a hidden danger. When they have four knotted pill cultivators, they may take action against us in Qingfeng Valley." The second elder Raise the Li family issue at the meeting.

Yan Xuewei, the current owner of Qingfeng Valley, immediately turned her attention to him.

Before she could speak, Third Elder Zuo Qiu Lipeng immediately stood up from his seat.

"Second Elder, what do you mean?"

The second elder originally wanted to see what Yan Xuewei would say, but Zuoqiu Lipeng was a little excited. Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to be ready to fight.

"Third Elder, what I said is very clear. The current Li family is a hidden danger to us in Qingfeng Valley." The second elder emphasized his previous words, and then continued, "I heard that, third elder, you went to the Li family a few days ago. I fought with the Li family monks and lost."

Regarding the relationship between Zuoqiu Lipeng and the Li family, the second elder was not particularly clear. In the eyes of most Qingfeng Valley monks, Zuoqiu Lipeng is a practicing lunatic. He seems to only want to practice to improve his strength.

Although I don’t have a very specific understanding, it can be seen from Zuoqiu Lipeng’s battle with the Li family’s Qingshan and the Li family’s alchemy monks that Zuoqiu Lipeng may want to find a partner to discuss with, and then he heard that the Li family was in the limelight, and then went to Looking for the Li family monk.

For Zuoqiu Lipeng, fighting seems to be all about improving his strength.

It is very possible that his relationship with the Li family is average.

Moreover, Zuoqiu Lipeng is not very good at dealing with relationships with others.

"I lost the fight, and that was for others' benefit." Regarding his loss to Li Xunting in the fight, Zuoqiu Lipeng didn't feel there was anything to be ashamed of. "I will definitely win back and defeat her in the future!"

"It seems that the third elder also agrees with what I said." The second elder nodded after hearing Zuoqiu Lipeng's words.

Yan Xuewei, who had not spoken yet, felt that the current situation was a bit funny.

The second elder obviously misunderstood the third elder's meaning.

Among the alchemy monks present, only Yan Xuewei knew why Zuoqiu Lipeng wanted to win against Li Xunting. Li Qianqing briefly told him about the two of them. Previously, Zuoqiu Lipeng had to defeat Li Qianqing to have the chance to pursue Li Xunting. Now all you have to do is defeat Li Xunting, and the difficulty has suddenly been reduced a lot.

"What do you mean? When did I say I agreed with your point of view?"

"Don't the third elders want to win back? The suppression against the Li family is now an opportunity."

"Second Elder, I think you are old and confused. First of all, I completely disagree with your point of view. In fact, even if there are more alchemy monks in the Li family, as long as they have a good relationship with our Qingfeng Valley, it will not have any impact on our Qingfeng Valley. The feud between the Li family is not good for us...but it is good for the Zhao royal family."

Although Zuoqiu Lipeng is a diligent practitioner and does not manage many affairs, it does not mean that he is unaware of the current situation.

In the private chat with Yan Xuewei, apart from the topic of Qingfeng Valley itself, the two of them talked most about the Li family, especially the topic of Li Xunting, because Zuoqiu Lipeng liked this topic, and Yan Xuewei was also comfortable with it. Looking at him.

"Second Elder, if you suddenly said these things, wouldn't you be taking advantage of Zhao's royal family?" Zuoqiu Lipeng stared at the Second Elder and asked this question directly.

"What did you say!"

The second elder's expression changed and he also stood up.

What Zuoqiu Lipeng said was completely on the opposite side of him, which was completely different from what he thought when he raised the question.

After he raised this question, it was probably more of a conversation with Valley Master Yan Xuewei. As a result, Yan Xuewei didn't say a word until now. Instead, Zuoqiu Lipeng put him on the fire rack with just one sentence.

"I said you received benefits from the Zhao royal family." Zuoqiu Lipeng was asked before, but this time he directly said unilaterally that the second elder received the benefits, "Now the monks of the three sects basically have no contact with the Zhao royal family. If you don’t want to have anything to do with them, it would be better for you, Second Elder, to contact them directly.”

"Zuoqiu Lipeng, let me tell you! Don't slander anyone before you have evidence." The second elder did not expect that Zuoqiu Lipeng would directly slap him with a big hat.

"Second Elder, don't get excited. Don't mind what the Third Elder says." Yan Xuewei spoke at this time, "You also know that the Third Elder has always been outspoken and will say whatever he has to say directly."

The second elder glanced at Yan Xuewei, and then quickly returned to Zuoqiu Lipeng.

He was not surprised at Yan Xuewei's side-stepping behavior. Yan Xuewei established a cooperative relationship with the Li family when she was still a foundation-building elder, and this cooperative relationship must still be there now.

Now that Yan Xuewei is the master of Qingfeng Valley, there are many factors to consider, and she has to consider his proposal. But Zuoqiu Lipeng stared at him like this, and the great elder beside him did not take any side.

In this case, his proposal is already useless, and it is one that does not even need to be considered.

The second elder, who had calmed down a little, wondered what the relationship was between Zuoqiu Lipeng and the Li family.

The partner of the Li family is Yan Xuewei. Normally, they will not cooperate with any of their alchemy monks in Qingfeng Valley. Once they cooperate, there will be many conflicts and the benefits will not be distributed.

Moreover, if the Li family really had the idea of ​​cooperating with many of their Qingfeng Valley alchemy monks, they should also contact him, the second elder.

The second elder, who lacks key information, cannot figure out this problem no matter how much he thinks about it.

If he were Zuoqiu Lipeng, thinking from Zuoqiu Lipeng's perspective, it would be impossible to reach a cooperative relationship with the Li family, let alone have a good relationship with them.

Judging from Zuoqiu Lipeng's reaction, people who didn't know better thought that his relationship with the Li family was better than Yan Xuewei's relationship with the Li family.

"Third Elder, I don't think the Second Elder is like this. He has always done things in a measured way." Yan Xuewei looked at Zuoqiu Lipeng and said a good word for the Second Elder.

"Valley Master, you don't need to say good things for him. Is he doing things in a measured way? If he was measured, he wouldn't raise this issue after investigating it thoroughly. The Li family attaches great importance to reputation. They are now the affiliated core formation forces of our Qingfeng Valley. As long as we Qingfeng Gu Buo can't do anything to them. Let alone four pill-forming monks from their family, even five or six will have no impact on us, and may even be beneficial. If the Li family really rises like this, the Zhao royal family will definitely be anxious. "

"After all, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom is also a family that cultivates immortality through alchemy. They are most afraid of the rise of the family that cultivates immortality through alchemy, which would then threaten their status in the world of immortality cultivation in the Zhao Kingdom..."

Zuoqiu Lipeng said a lot, and his analysis was based on unconditional trust in the Li family.

The second elder originally wanted to refute something, but after Zuoqiu Lipeng finished speaking, Yan Xuewei continued.

"The third elder is right. What the Li family is most worried about now is the Zhao royal family. They will definitely find ways to suppress the Li family, or even take action directly. That's why the second elder, when you said that just now, the third elder suspected that you and Zhao They have connections with the royal family and even receive benefits from them.”

Talking about this again?

At this moment, the second elder was unable to speak.

If he spoke again, based on what Zuoqiu Lipeng and Yan Xuewei said, he would be labeled as having colluded with the Zhao royal family.

This is nothing!

The second elder felt that he was clearly thinking from the perspective of Qingfeng Valley. As a subsidiary force of Qingfeng Valley, the Li family might backfire on Qingfeng Valley once they become too powerful. Therefore, the Li family is a hidden danger to them in Qingfeng Valley. , they must make full preparations for this.

Seeing that the second elder sat down and stopped talking, Yan Xuewei took this opportunity to continue.

"Once the Li family is suppressed by the Zhao royal family, we'd better give them some help. We and the Li family can still trust each other. Our relationship with the Zhao royal family currently has no basis for trust at all, and the Zhao royal family is powerful. Not only is it a threat to us in Qingfeng Valley, but it is also a threat to the other two sects. We don’t want to follow in the footsteps of the Tianhe sect.”

This time is a good opportunity to offer help to the Li family.

Yan Xuewei will not miss this opportunity.

"The Valley Master is right!" Zuoqiu Lipeng gave Yan Xuewei a thumbs up, and then glanced at the second elder before he sat down, "The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom needs to expend energy to deal with the Li family, and the Li family has to keep Zhao in check. The royal family of the country is also good for us in Qingfeng Valley.”

As the Danjie elder of Qingfeng Valley, Zuoqiu Lipeng also thinks about the problem from the perspective of Qingfeng Valley. However, when thinking about the problem, everyone has different attitudes towards the Li family and draws different conclusions.

"It makes sense." The great elder nodded at this time.

He agreed with Zuoqiu Lipeng's statement that the Li family could contain the Zhao royal family.

At this moment, the second elder was silent. Now even the first elder said so, he could not say anything. If he insisted on his own ideas, he would probably be isolated in the end.

"If the elders have no objection, let's decide it like this." Yan Xuewei spoke calmly. Since she became the head of Qingfeng Valley, she has basically used the same tone in such meetings at the Jindan high-level meetings.

After the decision on the Li family's agenda was made, the next thing to talk about was other external issues.

When the second elder started to raise the issue of the Li family, he had never thought that it would end like this.

His initial idea was to suppress the Li family appropriately and prevent them from developing too fast. The big Zhao royal family would take action. As a result, when the Zhao royal family suppressed the Li family, they Qingfeng Valley still provided some help. It would be better for the Zhao royal family and the Li family to fight on their own, and they Qingfeng Valley would just watch.

After the meeting.

The first elder of Qingfeng Valley left with the second elder.

"Grand Elder, I have a question."

"Second Elder, please speak." The Grand Elder smiled at the Second Elder beside him.

"Regarding the Li family...why do you agree?"

"I didn't agree." The Grand Elder shook his head, "I just think what you said makes sense, whether it's you, the Second Elder or the Third Elder, both make sense."

"...Okay." The Second Elder could only nod his head after hearing this, and he couldn't say anything at this time.

In his opinion, the Grand Elder was unwilling to say something, otherwise it would be difficult to evade him like this.

"In terms of reputation, the Li family has done a good job." Looking at the Second Elder's look, the Grand Elder still said something.

The Grand Elder and the Longhui Wei Family have many interests in dealing with each other.

When he talked with the Jindan cultivators of the Longhui Wei Family, he often talked about the Li Family, and the topic was basically about the Longhui Wei Family.

In the comprehensive struggle between Qingfeng Valley and Tianhe Sect, the Wei Family, like the Li Family, had its influence sphere bordering the Tianhe Sect, so they had the most wars on their side, but the Li Family basically won against the affiliated forces of the Tianhe Sect in this comprehensive struggle.

When this happened, they discussed and concluded that the Li family's reputation played a huge role at this time, and many Qi-refining and foundation-building forces were willing to work for them. (End of this chapter)
