Chapter 407 Stormy weather

Ancestor Zhao Longyin knocked lightly on the table, and all the Jindan cultivators on the scene looked at him.

"We need a reason."

Simply eight words, the other eight people understood what the ancestor meant.

They Zhao Guo royal family needed a reason, a reason to take action against the Li family, and this reason must be legitimate, and they can't just find a reason to take action against the Li family.

There are many Jindan cultivation families in Zhao Guo. If they Zhao Guo royal family just find a reason to destroy the current Li family today, other Jindan cultivation families will think that they Zhao Guo royal family can also find a reason to destroy them.

"Ancestor, it's a bit difficult to find a decent reason at the moment." Zhao Wengang thought a lot, but he couldn't think of a legitimate reason.

Among all the Jindan cultivators present, he knew the Li family best.

The reputation of the Li family in Xiangshui County is very high, higher than that of their Zhao Guo royal family in Huangmin County. This was nothing when the Li family was weak, but it was not possible when the Li family became strong.

Because the Li family has a high reputation in Xiangshui County, it is difficult to find a legitimate reason to attack them in Xiangshui County. If the Li family has a bad reputation in Xiangshui County, it will be much easier. They can use other immortal cultivation families to force the Li family to take action, and then the Zhao royal family will enter the game and take down the Li family with legitimate reasons, which will also win the hearts of the people.

"In the current situation, we can suppress them first and wait for a suitable reason to take action." Zhao Wengang thinks this is the best way to deal with the Li family at present. As time goes by, as long as we keep an eye on the Li family, there should still be opportunities for them to make mistakes.

After seizing such an opportunity, the Zhao royal family generally has a legitimate reason to take action.

"Well." The ancestor Zhao Longyin nodded slowly, and then his eyes moved to Zhao Wengang, "Wenggang, the Li family is holding a Dan-forming banquet this time, you can come and take a look."

They have never been to the three previous Dan-forming banquets held by the Li family. If the Li family invited them at that time, they would still go, but the Li family did not invite them.

The Li family didn't invite them before, so they won't invite them this time. They just came uninvited.

Zhao Wengang understood what the ancestor wanted him to do.

"Yes, ancestor!"

He soon agreed. It was easy to find out when the Li family would hold a Dan-forming banquet for Li Qiuben. Zhao Wengang would definitely be there in time.

He went to the Dan-forming banquet held by Li Qiuben at the Li family to target the Li family and have a little talk. If the Li family knew what was good for them, there was still a possibility of talking. However, based on the Li family's previous performance towards the Zhao royal family, the Li family basically would not know what was good for them.

...

Xinyue County.

Shen family's ancestral land.

They were the first among the ten families to know the news of the Dan-forming of Li Qiuben, the Li family cultivator.

The head of the Shen family, who got the news, soon came to see the ancestor of the family and told him the heavy news.

Clan leader Shen Xingyuan had never expected that only ten years after the destruction of Tianhe Sect, the Li family had another Jindan cultivator, and it was a Li family foundation cultivator that they had never heard of before.

They could only say that the Li family was still very well hidden.

After hearing the news reported by Shen Xingyuan, the ancestor of the Shen family did not show much expression on his face, but he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The decision to seek peace with the Li family at that time seems to be completely correct now!" Recalling the previous decision, they now feel extremely lucky.

If they had not sought peace at the beginning, even if they survived by chance after the destruction of Tianhe Sect, the Li family, which had three Jindan cultivators in the family, would not attack them. Now that the family has four Jindan cultivators, the Li family would not let go of their fat meat.

"After reaching a cooperation with the Li family, they have been very quiet in Xinyue County..." Shen Xingyuan, the head of the Shen family, talked about the situation in recent years.

They gave the Li family a spiritual vein.

The Li family cultivators who now live in these spiritual veins are basically not active in Xinyue County, let alone have an impact on their Xinyue County's power.

The Li family's actions are definitely what they are most happy to see.

In Xinyue County, as long as the Li family does not make any moves, their Shen family's influence in Xinyue County can be very large. Once the Li family has the intention to get involved in Xinyue County and expand its influence in Xinyue County, then the influence of their Shen family in Xinyue County will decline accordingly.

As for how much it will decline, it depends on the Li family's actions.

"Well, Li Qianqing of the Li family must be a cultivator who sticks to his word." The ancestor of the Shen family nodded. Now they have a better understanding of the Li family and Li Qianqing. After reaching an agreement with such a cultivator, there is basically no need to worry that the other party will go back on his word.

As time goes by, they can be said to be more and more relieved in recent years.

"I wonder if Li Qiuben of the Li family will invite our Shen family to hold the Dan Ji Banquet this time." Shen Xingyuan thought about it, and it was actually quite difficult for their Shen family to be invited.

According to the information he investigated, the Li family would actively invite the immortal cultivation family, and the Qingfeng Valley's affiliated forces were a basic condition.

Now their Shen family is not a subsidiary of Qingfeng Valley, but a subsidiary of Shuiyunmen. Fortunately, Shuiyunmen has a good relationship with Qingfeng Valley, and the relationship between the three sects is now easing.

If it weren't for the current situation, Shen Xingyuan would not think they still have a chance.

"Even if the Li family doesn't invite us, Xingyuan, you have to take the initiative to go there, and give a big gift to promote our relationship with the Li family." The ancestor of the Shen family said.

They no longer have any conflicts with the Li family. When they take the initiative to go to the door, as long as they are sincere, it is not difficult to make friends with the Li family, and now the Li family also needs to make friends with more Jindan Xiuxian families.

Shen Xingyuan looked at the ancestor in surprise when he heard this.

If they make friends with the Li family completely, they may offend the Zhao royal family.

They had an agreement with the Li family before that when the Li family confronted the Zhao royal family, they had to give appropriate secret help, and after they made friends with the Li family completely, the Zhao royal family would definitely notice them.

The idea of ​​their Shen family ancestor before was not like this. Being able to secretly help the Li family was already the limit of what they could do.

The ancestor of the Shen family seemed to understand what Shen Xingyuan was thinking. He also explained, "Now the Li family has a four-Jiedan cultivator. Under such circumstances, who knows if they will have another Jindan cultivator in the next few decades."

"Facing such a Li family, the Zhao royal family must use all their energy to deal with them, so how can they have the energy to take care of us."

"Ancestor, do you think the Li family will not fall?"

"It's difficult... Before, the newly promoted Jindan elder of Qingfeng Valley went to the Li family. I don't think things are that simple."

Qingfeng Valley is nominally the upper sect of the Li family. As long as Qingfeng Valley does not join forces with the Zhao royal family to deal with the Li family, the Li family, a four-Jiedan cultivator family, will find it difficult to fall. After all, the Zhao royal family will never deal with the Li family at all costs.

If the Zhao royal family really did this, the three major Jindan sects should be happy to see it all.

The game between the same forces cannot rely on brute force. If the current Jindan ancestor of the Zhao royal family breaks the elixir and becomes an infant later, the situation will be different. When dealing with the Li family, there is no need to consider the factors of the three sects.

"Ancestor, I understand." Shen Xingyuan nodded.

He was originally more inclined to the Li family, so he would not say much at this time.

In his opinion as the patriarch of the family, the Li family did not affect the influence of their Shen family in Xinyue County. To them, the Li family was friendlier than any other Jindan cultivation family, because at present, the Li family was the only Jindan cultivation family in the spiritual vein of Xinyue County.

Overall, among the Jindan cultivation families, their relationship with the Li family was the best in a sense.

"It's good to understand. Remember to show your full sincerity when you attend the Jindan banquet of the newly promoted Jindan Li Qiuben."

"Yes."

If it weren't for the fact that their Shen family's current situation was a bit special, and he was the only ancestor in the family who was a Jindan cultivator, otherwise they would definitely send a Jindan cultivator to attend the Li family's Jindan banquet. In addition to the Jindan cultivator, for their Shen family, sending the family patriarch to attend the Jindan banquet was also one of their sincerity.

…

The news that the Li family had produced a fourth Jindan cultivator and became the first Jindan cultivation family in Zhao State, within half a month, all the forces above the foundation building stage in Zhao State’s cultivation world knew about this news, as well as most of the Qi refining forces.

In their view, the Zhao State’s royal family was no longer a Jindan cultivation family, so the Li family became the first in name only.

After the Fengyong Yu family received this news, they did not react.

The Li family’s fourth Jindan cultivator had almost no disadvantages for them at present. First, their Fengyong County was separated from Xiangshui County by half of Zhao State. Second, with the rise of the Li family, the Zhao State’s royal family paid less attention to them.

As for the title of the first Jindan cultivation family in Zhao State, they would rather not have it than be watched by the Zhao State’s royal family.

In the past hundred years, the Zhao State’s royal family has spent a lot of attention on them. Now even if the Tianhe Sect has been destroyed and the Zhao State’s royal family has started to move again, basically their main attention should be on the Li family, not on them.

One month after Li Qiuben of the Li family’s Jindan.

Li Qiuben's Danjie Banquet also began.

All the immortal cultivation forces in Xiangshui County will come to the Li family's basic foundation-building banquet and Danjie Banquet, and most of the forces in Weishui County and Wutong County will come, with more in Weishui County.

The Li family is also the overlord in Weishui County guarded by Li Xunming, but there are still some independent Qi-refining forces. The Li family temporarily ignores these independent Qi-refining forces, as they do not want to become subordinate forces and do not want to provide resources.

On the day of Li Qiuben's Danjie Banquet, Shen Xingyuan, the head of the Shen family, came early in the morning.

It was almost what they thought. The Li family did not invite them to attend the Danjie Banquet. He came on his own initiative.

Li Xunyu, the family's foundation-building early stage cultivator Li Qingyu, and the family's five Qi-refining late stage cultivators welcomed guests at the foot of Changqing Mountain. Shen Xingyuan was the first to go up.

"Shen Xingyuan from the Shen family."

"So it's the head of the Shen family." Li Xundi was a little surprised when he saw Shen Xingyuan. They had an agreement with the Shen family, and their Li family strictly abided by the content of the agreement. Even if the Shen family did not do anything and had no communication with them, they would not deliberately go to Xinyue County.

"Fellow Daoist Xundi, this is a small gift from our Shen family. I hope you will accept it." After investigating more information about the Li family, Shen Xingyuan could recognize all the cultivators of the Li family who were above the foundation building stage at a glance.

While speaking, Shen Xingyuan took out a green jade box.

There was a magic circle on the jade box to seal it and preserve the things inside. Just looking at the jade box, it is not difficult to guess that there must be good things inside, and it is also very valuable.

It seems that the Shen family has invested a lot of money in taking the initiative to participate in the Dan Dan Banquet this time.

"Thank you." Li Xunxun thanked Li Qiuben, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Clan Chief Shen, I have an invitation from above."

"Qingyu, lead the way."

"Yes, Fifth Grandpa, Chief Shen, please come with me."

"Good work."

Shen Xingyuan smiled slightly and did not waste too much time here. According to the current size and reputation of the Li family, Li Xunxun and other guests would be very busy and would not be able to stop for a whole morning.

The Dandan Banquet usually starts at noon and continues until dusk.

The welcome at the foot of Evergreen Mountain lasted for a while, and the alchemy monks also came.

"Xunxun." In a flash of golden light, Zuoqiu Lipeng appeared in front of Li Xunxun.

"It turns out to be Elder Zuoqiu."

Zuoqiu Lipeng, a pill-forming monk, came very early. Generally, during the pill-forming banquet, pill-forming monks came relatively late.

After understanding some of the situation, Li Xunxun was not surprised to see Zuoqiu Lipeng coming from Qingfeng Valley, and he came relatively early.

"This is a gift from our Qingfeng Valley." Zuoqiu Lipeng took out what the current Valley Master had prepared for him, "Congratulations on the birth of another pill-forming monk. I hope that in the next hundred years, we can see you and the Li family marry again." Brother Dan continues to appear."

There is nothing wrong with what Zuoqiu Lipeng said.

The Qi Refining monks who came to participate in the alchemy banquet were monks from affiliated forces of the Li family, but they knew that Qingfeng Valley and the Li family treated affiliated forces differently.

The Li family would not suppress affiliated forces, but Qingfeng Valley would, and there were some examples a long time ago.

Therefore, what Zuoqiu Lipeng said came into their ears, and they felt that it was more of a pretentious statement than a sincere one.

"I hope so too." Li Xunxun nodded, and at the same time he added in his heart that he hoped he would be the next one.

In the late stage of foundation building, he was not far from the peak of foundation building.

However, Li Xunxun doesn't have much confidence in his ability to form pills. He is not the family's core-forming seed. Unless he goes out and gets a chance to form pills, there will be no pill-forming spiritual objects attached to form pills. The next pill-forming monk in the family may be more Most of them are Li Qingqing.

It is also possible that Li Zhonghao surpassed Li Qingqing when he reached the late stage of foundation building.

There is still a big gap between the cultivation speed of Tianling Root and Alien Spiritual Root.

"Elder Zuoqiu, please come with me."

Those who come are Danjie monks, and Li Xunxun will be responsible for sending them up. (End of chapter)
