Chapter 450 Family Changes

Gan Mantang understood the intention of the Devouring Demon Boy.

The idea was on his head, so it was easy to give a gift to a cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining.

Thinking in his heart, Gan Mantang took out a pale white jade pendant and flew it to Li Yongfeng under the control of his spiritual power.

"Before building the foundation, you can carry this jade pendant with you. When you are in danger, it will actively activate the shield. Even for cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, it is difficult to break it in a short time."

"Thank you, Uncle Gan!" Li Yongfeng thanked him immediately.

"It's just barely okay."

"If you don't like it, I'll take it back."

"There is no reason to take back something that has been given away, and my disciple has thanked you." While speaking, the Devouring Demon Boy signaled Li Yongfeng with his eyes that he could go back in.

Li Yongfeng nodded and bowed to the two before leaving.

"Look at your happy face. Are you happy to get a little advantage from me?"

"It's reasonable not to take advantage."

"By the way...if your precious disciple doesn't join our Fallen Demon Valley, you will have a lot of burden in the future."

"Don't worry, the Li family won't leave him to me completely."

In fact, regarding Li Yongfeng's training resources, Li Qianqing said that they could give them all to the Li family, but the Devouring Demon Boy himself was unwilling. Li Yongfeng said that he was his only disciple, so how could a master not take good care of his disciple.

In the eyes of the Devouring Demon Boy, this is the truth. If all the training resources of Li Yongfeng were provided by him, it would be fine before the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. After the late Foundation Establishment Stage, the resources needed would be much greater.

The Devouring Demon Boy's idea was to train his disciple to the Core Formation Stage before he passed away.

...

The 43rd year of the Qingli period.

In the 43 years since the establishment of the Qing Kingdom, the number of Li family cultivators doubled.

More than 30 years ago, the net increase of Li family cultivators was more than 20 people every year. Now the Li family has five Jindan stage cultivators, the number of foundation-building cultivators has reached 36, and the number of Qi-refining cultivators is over 1,300.

Without considering the Jindan stage and foundation-building stage, the number of Qi-refining cultivators alone, the Li family barely meets the standard of a royal family.

Li Qianqing looked at a data of the current family and nodded with satisfaction.

"Twenty-seven of the foundation-building seeds have cultivated to the late stage of Qi-refining." In the list he looked at, these foundation-building seeds have never built a foundation.

Among the cultivators in the Qi-refining stage, the ratio of Qi-refining level 8 to Qi-refining level 9 is relatively high, which is quite different from many forces.

"In another 20 to 30 years, the family's foundation-building cultivators will break through 50, and there will be no problem."

As the foundation-building seeds cultivate to the peak of Qi-refining level 9 one by one, they can receive a foundation-building pill for free to assist in their cultivation.

After an ordinary Jindan Xiuxian family grows and becomes a royal family, it is difficult to get the resources for building the foundation for Qi Refining Breakthrough for free, especially the Foundation Building Pill.

The Li family can do this because of Li Qianqing and Li Qiuben.

Every ten years, Li Qianqing will refine five furnaces of Foundation Building Pills, an average of one furnace every two years. In most cases, each furnace of Foundation Building Pills has five successful pills, and in a few cases, four.

In ten years, the family has more than twenty Foundation Building Pills. Even at the current growth rate of cultivators, the number of dual spiritual root cultivators born in ten years does not exceed twenty. The extra Foundation Building Pills are either auctioned and sold for spirit stones, or directly purchased by the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce.

In the case of no shortage of Foundation Building Pills, the family's Foundation Building Seeds who cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can get a Foundation Building Pill for free.

Some Foundation Building Seeds with Fire Spiritual Roots or Gold Spiritual Roots will choose to cultivate to the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining before building the foundation.

The technique that the fire spirit root can cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining was cultivated by Li Qianqing during the Qi Refining period, while the technique that the gold spirit root can cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining was obtained after the Zhao royal family was eliminated.

At present, in the entire country, on the surface, only the royal family has the technique to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

After the elimination of the Zhao royal family, the Li family has more choices for the cultivation techniques of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment periods. There are not many in the Jindan period, and there are not as many as those that Li Qianqing has added to the family library. The sum of the two is also considerable. At present, among the forces in the entire three small countries, only the Lu royal family has the number of Jindan techniques that can compare with them.

As the number of family cultivators continues to increase, the number of hired cultivators is also decreasing.

"... Sixty-one non-family cultivators."

Before becoming a royal family, the Li family had only twelve non-family cultivators. After becoming a royal family, the number of these cultivators basically increased by one every year.

These cultivators are also considered as Li family cultivators, who married into the Li family or married into the Li family. Among them, there are fewer cultivators who married into the Li family, and they all married into the Li family after they became the new royal family.

None of these cultivators have dual spiritual roots, and the male cultivators who married into the Li family all have mixed spiritual roots.

This situation seems quite normal to Li Qianqing.

The cultivators with good talents prefer to become disciples of the sect, so that they can obtain more resources. The proportion of cultivators with other surnames in their Li family is still relatively large, and this is still a situation where it is difficult to marry into the Li family. This result is mainly due to the reputation of their Li family.

Only when the two most basic standards of the liking of the Li family children and the consent of the family elders are met can one become a member of their Li family.

Compared with the latter, it is more difficult to get the true love of the Li family children.

Because the royal family of Qing Kingdom, although the guidance and training of the Li family is very good, it is still inevitable that the family cultivators have higher and higher vision. For some family girls with mixed spiritual roots, the minimum standard for marrying into the family is three spiritual roots, which is based on Li Qianqing's spiritual roots.

And it is even more difficult to marry them. So far, there are only two people who can marry the female cultivators of the Li family, from the Wutong Ma family and the Qingliu Liu family. The relationship between these two families and the Li family is good, which also gives their family an opportunity.

The married female cultivators of the family are all four spiritual roots, and those who marry them are all double spiritual roots, which are the foundation seeds of the Ma family and the Liu family.

Li Qianqing continued to look at some information about the current family.

At the same time, in the Changting Mountain of Huangmin County, Li Xunting's aura changed. She had just broken through from the peak of the early stage of the Jindan to the middle stage of the Jindan.

Just a month and a half ago, Li Xunting began to practice in seclusion.

In recent years, she has been practicing harder. She has handed over many affairs of Changting Mountain to the younger generation of the family who have established their foundation. Compared with before, there are two more foundation-building cultivators in Changting Mountain. These two extra people are to help Li Xunting better manage Changting Mountain and the entire Huangmin County.

"Middle stage of Jindan!"

Although she encountered some minor troubles during the breakthrough, she finally solved them smoothly.

Overall, she completed the breakthrough relatively smoothly.

"The materials for practicing the secret method "Liuhe Bing" have not been collected yet. I will first practice the sixth-grade spiritual technique "Tian Shuang" to a small success." After breaking through to the middle stage of Jindan, Li Xunting quickly made a plan.

There are a total of ten materials needed to prepare for the practice of secret methods. The Li family has gradually collected the materials below the fourth grade in these years. Even the third-grade ice of the fourth grade is still under investigation.

In addition to asking for information, they also asked the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce for help.

The materials that can reach the fourth grade are not so easy to collect. Even with the current capabilities of the Li family, it will take a long time.

In contrast, as long as the materials below the fourth level are not particularly rare, the Li family can basically collect them within five years after using their power.

As for the cultivation of spiritual arts, she was still in the early stage of Jindan six years ago, and she began to cultivate her first sixth-grade spiritual art "Tian Shuang". After practicing to the entry level, she felt that it took a long time, so she did not continue to practice.

Even if she had an ice spirit body, it was still difficult to practice the sixth-grade spiritual art in the early stage of Jindan. The difficulty she felt was still much easier than that of ordinary cultivators in the early stage of Jindan practicing the fifth-grade spiritual art.

In the next half month, Li Xunting practiced normally.

Until a family cultivator came up to report a more important thing.

"Tell me, what's the news?"

"Grandma Gao, Wu Yueya of the Wu family succeeded in Jindan."

"Wu family... um, I know, if there is nothing else, go down."

"Yes." The family cultivator who reported the news disappeared the next moment.

The Wu family of Huangmin County is a top family of foundation-building immortals. When the Li family destroyed the Zhao royal family, the Wu family made a lot of efforts. Especially before the destruction of the Zhao royal family, many things in Huangmin County were done by the Wu family.

After the establishment of Qing State, when the Li family was short of manpower, the Wu family also helped.

As a subordinate force of the Li family, Li Xunting was very satisfied with many things done by the Wu family, at least it made her guarding Huangmin County a lot easier.

Now that Wu Yueya of the Wu family has successfully formed a pill, she must go there to send her blessings and talk about the matter of affiliation.

Before, the Zhao royal family had no affiliated Jindan cultivation family, and no Jindan cultivation family was willing to be affiliated with the Zhao royal family. Compared with the affiliated Jindan sect, the affiliated Zhao royal family has too many constraints and may even be further suppressed.

Soon Li Xunting took action.

When she arrived at the Wu family's ancestral land, a middle-aged male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building from the Wu family came to greet her soon.

"Junior Wu Xingxiong pays homage to the senior."

"Well, lead the way."

"Yes."

Wu Xingxiong had been prepared for Li Xunting's appearance.

The people of their Wu family had guessed that Li Xunting would definitely come after hearing that someone in their Wu family had formed a pill.

So Wu Xingxiong had been waiting for Li Xunting to appear.

Wu Yueya's successful formation of a pill meant that their Wu family had officially changed from a top foundation-building family to a pill-forming family. To be precise, the cultivators of their Wu family had been waiting for almost four hundred years for this step.

The future structure of Qing Kingdom, with the appearance of their Wu family, will become one emperor, three sects and ten families.

Under the leadership of Wu Xingxiong, Li Xunting sat for a while and soon met Wu Yueya, a Jindan cultivator of the Wu family.

"Daoyou Li." When Wu Yueya saw Li Xunting, she found that she was no longer in the early stage of Jindan. "Congratulations to Daoyou Li for entering the middle stage of Jindan. You will definitely be one of the cultivators in the late stage of Jindan in Qingguo."

"Thank you, Daoyou Wu." Li Xunting nodded and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated Daoyou Wu on his success in Jindan yet, but Daoyou congratulated me first."

In Wu Yueya's impression, Li Xunting is serious. If you can make her smile, even a little bit, it means that she has a good impression of you.

Through communication with Li Xunting, she knew that she was recognized by Li Xunting, and she was very happy about this.

The two women exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Li Xunting talked about business.

"After the Wu family became a Jindan cultivation family, I wonder what Daoyou Wu plans to do next?" Li Xunting asked.

"No plans, it's good like this."

Wu Yueya knew that Li Xunting was asking her whether she would continue to be a subsidiary of the Li family or leave the Li family.

She had already thought of the answer, which was to continue to be a subsidiary of the Li family.

If the current Li family was replaced by the Zhao royal family, then she would have another answer. However, if it was still the Zhao royal family, Wu Yueya didn't think she could form a pill so smoothly and peacefully.

Maybe she would be disturbed by the Zhao royal family during the process of forming a pill.

This kind of thing happened before, and the reason why the Zhao royal family disturbed their Wu family's retreat was also funny.

After the Zhao royal family was replaced by the Li family, they really didn't feel suppressed at all, and they were much more comfortable than many independent foundation-building immortal families.

Of course, in the process of development, they must not have other ideas about the Li family, otherwise the consequences would be like the Zhao royal family before.

"I think that your Wu family replacing our Li family and becoming a subsidiary of Qingfeng Valley's Dan-forming immortal family is also a good choice." After getting Wu Yueya's answer, Li Xunting tried to say.

After their Li family became the royal family, their relationship with Qingfeng Valley was naturally not even superficial.

"If our Wu family could become a Jindan cultivation family more than 50 years ago, it would be a good choice for us, but it is different now."

Wu Yueya praised the Li family inside and out.

And Li Xunting was more and more satisfied with Wu Yueya's answer.

If the Wu family continued to be affiliated with their Li family, the resources they needed to supply every year would remain unchanged.

The mutual affiliation between the Jindan forces is more of a cooperative relationship. Even if it is not a cooperative relationship, but just a simple affiliation, based on what the Wu family did for their Li family before, they would not increase the additional supply resources to him.

Qingguo has one more Jindan cultivation family, and the overall pattern is still similar to before.

This Jindan power pattern will continue for decades in the future.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, there are only three years left before the opening of the Cangjie.

And it has been twenty-seven years since Li Qianqing broke through to the late stage of Jindan.

So far, the Li family still only needs two Cang Yun Orders. It was not until today that Li Qianqing received the news from Lv Shangqing.

After receiving the content of the sound transmission note, Li Qianqing smiled.

The closer it is to the opening of the Cang Yun Realm, most of the Cang Yun Orders have owners, and the chance of obtaining a Cang Yun Order is getting smaller and smaller.

Originally, Li Qianqing thought that he would not be able to get the third Cang Yun Order.

According to Lv Shangqing's news, he will go to Qing Country in about half a month and personally deliver the Cang Yun Order to him.
