Chapter 524: Retreat in the Same Year

Qingli one hundred and seventy years.

It has been four years since the last time the Li family tested the Tianlinggen monk.

In the sky above the inner city of Evergreen City, a monk flew by with his sword, attracting the surprise of a group of monks.

"Am I right? The guy who just flew over from the sky is at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

"That's right, it's the sixth level of Qi refining. I've also sensed it. The sixth level of Qi refining can control objects. I've never heard of it before..."

"He is still an unfamiliar young man. He must be a monk born in the Li family in recent years."

"The monks of the Li family are really amazing."

"Isn't that right? This is a family of Yuanying monks. Not to mention our entire Qing Kingdom, even the neighboring Lu and Yue Kingdoms do not have Yuanying-level forces. A few years ago, another Tianlinggen monk was born in the Li family. I think he must be the Linggen monk that day."

The monk who just flew over the inner city of Evergreen City was naturally Li Tongxin.

Li Tongxin wanted to go home and have a look. He hadn't seen his mother in more than four years, so he just happened to use the sword flying he had just learned to go home and have a look.

"You old guy, I know that the Li family gave birth to the Tianlinggen monk four years ago, but you are so shameless! You said that you were the one who tested the Tianlinggen monk first. There is a special test for the children of the Li family to test their spiritual roots. Brother Linggen, do you still need an old guy like you?"

"Feng, you heard half of what I said and missed the other half, right? He went in the wrong direction on his way to test his spiritual roots. After meeting me, I took him there and tested his spiritual roots at the same time..."

"Stop, stop, stop talking, my ears are ringing from hearing it. I know what you are going to say next. As a result, this test actually showed Tianlinggen. It's pretty much the same thing as it was made up. No one will testify for you."

"Forget it if you don't believe me, I think you're going to feel sore!"

The two old monks were constantly arguing. If Li Tongxin flew over here and looked down, he would definitely recognize one of the old monks as the old man from before.

The outer city of Evergreen City.

As soon as Li Tongxin's mother went out, something fell from the sky.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be her son who had become a monk. At this moment, she was overjoyed and ran to Li Tongxin and helped him up.

"Mom." Li Tongxin scratched his head awkwardly.

This was not the situation he had expected. He could have parked in front of his house very handsomely and then put away his flying sword. This set of actions was as smooth as a flow in his imagination.

As a result, the outer city was too big, and he couldn't find where his home was for a while. He flew around for several times, and when he finally found his home, the spiritual power in the air sea was insufficient, so the scene just now occurred.

"Tong Xin, you are not practicing hard in your ancestral land, why are you back?"

"Mom, aren't you happy that I'm back?"

"I'm happy, but training is more important. I heard that you are extremely talented and will definitely be the patron saint of our entire Li family in the future! Practicing well is the key."

"Isn't this why I came out to see you after I achieved a staged breakthrough in my cultivation?"

Her mother knew the importance of Li Tongxin's cultivation and felt that it was a waste of time to come out to see her as a mortal, but she could not hide the joy in her heart.

"Only one day."

"It's been long enough. Come in with me, let's talk about you over the years..."

The mother kept talking as she walked without stopping. Li Tongxin put away the flying sword and followed his mother into the house.

…

The ancestral land of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Li family stayed in the Three Small Kingdoms area, the Ming royal family had no idea about the Li family, but they still needed to collect the information that should be collected about the Li family.

"Uncle, the news this time is about Li Tongxin, the spiritual root monk of the Li family."

"There was news about the birth of the third Tianlinggen monk in the Li family a few years ago, so what news is there now?"

The Tianlinggen monks in the Nascent Soul Force can basically successfully cultivate to the Danjie stage. When we get this news, we can judge that within the next hundred years, there will be Danjie monks born in the Li family.

To them, the news is important whether it is important or unimportant.

For Nascent Soul-level forces, it is difficult for the Danjie monks to have a big influence, but the Danjie monks are also the mainstay.

"Li Tongxin of the Li family is suspected to have a special physique."

"Special physique... Tianlinggen plus special physique, maybe a Nascent Soul monk will be born in the Li family in three or four hundred years."

This is important news indeed.

If the Li family only has the Yuanying cultivator Li Qianqing, then the Li family, as a Yuanying cultivator family, will last for six to seven hundred years. If another Yuanying cultivator is born in the next three to four hundred years, the Li family will be a Yuanying cultivator family for at least a thousand years. .

In the history of the Five Kingdoms, there are really not many Yuanying cultivating families that have been cultivating immortals for thousands of years. Many Yuanying cultivating families were lucky enough to have a Yuanying monk, and no Yuanying monks were born after that.

"Uncle, what should we do? This Li Tongxin of the Li family..."

"Shut up."

"yes."

"I know what you want to say. Our attitude towards the Li family remains unchanged. Don't even think about attacking Li Tongxin. If a fight breaks out between us and the Li family, the entire Five Kingdoms will be in chaos. Do you understand?"

The relationship between the Li family and Falling Demon Valley is very good. If there is a dispute between their two Nascent Soul forces, Falling Demon Valley is likely to intervene, while Tiandao Sect usually watches the show from the side first, and then finds the right opportunity to intervene.

As long as the Li family doesn't cause trouble, they can maintain a quite friendly attitude towards the Li family.

"I understand, I understand." The pill-forming monk from the Ming royal family who reported the news said repeatedly.

The order was issued long ago. He thought that the birth of a cultivator with a natural spiritual root or a special physique in the Li family would change the elders' minds. If he had known this, he would not have said it.

If you think about it carefully, if the Ming Dynasty royal family and the Li family come into conflict, then the Ming Dynasty's cultivation world will be in chaos first, and then the Fanyang Kingdom's cultivation world should also be in chaos, and finally the entire Five Kingdoms will be in chaos.

In collecting information about the Li family, the Tianyang Sect and Xingxiu Sect of Fanyang are now more active than the Ming Dynasty royal family.

They knew earlier than the Ming Dynasty royal family that the Li family had a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, Li Tongxin, and this Li Tongxin also has a special physique. Now they are completely sure of this news.

If the Ming Dynasty is going to be in chaos, the initiative is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty royal family, then if Fanyang is going to be in chaos, the initiative is on the side of the Li family.

As for Li Tongxin, who has a natural spiritual root and a special physique, the Tianyang Sect and Xingxiu Sect have no idea, and did not hold a meeting for this.

Li Tongxin may only break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, but it is not certain.

And this is something that will happen in three or four hundred years. Who knows what will happen in these years.

…

Fanyang Country, Liyue City.

Li Xunming has been out for three years, and has made some small gains, but no major gains.

Now it has been sixteen years since he reached the peak of the Jindan stage. After returning from this outing, he is ready to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage.

Thirteen years plus three years of outings, sixteen years of preparation, plus the Yuanchu Qi and a portion of fairy spring water, he is still somewhat confident that he can break through the Dan and become a Nascent Soul.

After returning to Liyue City, he first went to find Liu Mingjuan.

"Palace Master Liu." Li Xunming still called her as usual.

"Did you gain anything from this outing?" Liu Mingjuan looked at Li Xunming and asked.

"Some gains."

Liu Mingjuan nodded, "That's good."

It seems that Li Xunming's luck is still good. She has been to many places in Fanyang Country, and basically there is nothing to gain.

"I came here this time to tell you, Palace Master Liu, that I want to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage." He was going to assist in the management of Liyue City, so he naturally couldn't assist during the retreat.

However, it didn't really matter whether Liyue City had his assistance or not, otherwise he couldn't go out to practice peacefully.

But he still had to say this to Liu Mingjuan, and also expressed his respect for Liu Mingjuan.

"It seems that Xunming, you are ready. I hope you will be in the Nascent Soul stage when you come out of retreat." Liu Mingjuan gave her blessings.

Over the years, Li Xunming and her have communicated many times, especially after he cultivated to the peak of the Jindan stage. At that time, their main topic of communication was breaking the Dan and becoming a Nascent Soul. Liu Mingjuan also talked a lot about her own experience of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

She hoped that Li Xunming could break the Dan and become a Nascent Soul, so that the Li family would have two Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Thank you!"

Li Xunming accepted Liu Mingjuan's blessings, and after a brief chat, he left.

The place where he was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was not where he lived. His residence could be used for daily practice by late Nascent Soul cultivators, but it was not the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in Liyue City. The concentration of spiritual energy in the place where he was in seclusion had reached the upper limit of this world.

Before officially starting to retreat to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he naturally had to tell this news to Grandpa Thirteen.

In addition to communicating with Liu Mingjuan, he had read many times about Grandpa Thirteen's experience of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage after reaching the peak of the Jindan stage. This jade slip was brought to him by Grandpa Thirteen when he came to Liyue City in Fanyang Country.

"If there is a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I must go outside to take a look." Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xunming couldn't help but say.

What he said about going outside to take a look was to leave the land of the Five Kingdoms and go to other places.

If there is a chance, it must be very good to leave the Nanming area and go to the other three major areas for training.

He had the opportunity to go to the Misty Rain Forest before, but he could not meet Grandpa Thirteen's conditions. He could not meet them at the time, and he could not meet them now.

At that time, Li Qianqing asked Li Xunming to use his strongest means of escape to escape from him when he used 30% of his strength.

Thirteenth Grandpa offered this condition, which meant that he had no intention of letting him go, so he had to give up.

After adjusting his state, Li Xunming officially began to impact the Nascent Soul stage.

Qingguo.

Changqing Mountain.

When Li Qianqing received Li Xunming's sound transmission note, Li Xunting happened to be by his side.

Seeing Li Xunming's sound transmission note, he quickly received the content of the sound transmission note.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, what did Xunming say in the sound transmission note?" Li Xunting asked curiously.

Li Qianqing did not answer directly, but said, "You should be able to guess it easily."

After being reminded by Li Qianqing, Li Xunting immediately understood.

"Has he started to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded. Li Xunting should also be retreating to the Nascent Soul stage soon, but he didn't know when Li Xunting would start retreating, so he took this opportunity to ask directly, "Tingting, when do you plan to start retreating to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"I." Li Xunting smiled mysteriously, "Of course I'll pick a good day."

"Good day?"

Li Qianqing thought about it, what good day is there recently.

"I wanted to tell you later, since Xunming has started retreating to the Nascent Soul stage, then I'll tell you directly, I plan to officially start next month."

Next month...

It is January now, and next month is February.

For them, there seems to be no good days next month... Li Qianqing soon thought of something.

"Tingting, you are not going to retreat on my birthday, are you?"

After the Dan is formed, the birthday is usually celebrated once when the 100th birthday is exactly. Li Qianqing, who was 400 years old a few years ago, has celebrated once, and he is still far from 500 years old.

"Yes." Li Xunting nodded, she planned to do so. In her opinion, that time of year is a good day.

"Then let's do it next month."

Li Xunting chose this day to retreat, and Li Qianqing naturally had no objection.

Choosing to retreat this year means that Li Xunting may have been ready in the second half of last year, but if she wants to choose such a day, she can only come this year.

Talking here, the grandfather and grandson talked about the topic of breaking the Dan and forming the infant.

Regarding how to make a more stable impact when impacting the Yuanying stage, Li Qianqing has already written this in his experience. Now when talking about this aspect, Li Qianqing emphasizes more on the matters that should be paid attention to in the process of breaking the Dan and becoming the infant.

A month later, Li Xunting began to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage.

After Li Qianqing watched Li Xunting enter the cave where he had retreated to the Nascent Soul stage before, on the way back, he saw Li Tongxin flying on a sword.

"Clan leader!"

Li Tongxin landed in front of Li Qianqing, put away his flying sword, and thought he had done a very handsome move.

"Tongxin, are you ready to build your foundation?"

From the time when he was diagnosed with the Heavenly Spiritual Root to now, more than eight years have passed, and Li Tongxin has cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Li Tongxin, who has the body of a sword spirit, is faster in cultivation than ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivators. His special physique not only helps to break through the realm, but also has a certain bonus to the speed of cultivation.

The first two Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivators in the family, Li Zhonghao, stayed in the Qi Refining stage for nearly ten years, and Li Yiqing stayed longer because of his skills. Li Tongxin did not need nine years to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Yes, clan leader." Li Tongxin nodded, "I came to you to tell you that I am going to retreat."

There is nothing to prepare for retreating to build the foundation for the heavenly spiritual root. After practicing to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can directly retreat to break through. If there is a technique with the corresponding attributes of the tenth level of Qi Refining, you can also practice to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

For the heavenly spiritual root cultivator, the significance of practicing to the tenth level of Qi Refining is less than that of other spiritual root cultivators. The main purpose of other spiritual root cultivators practicing to the tenth level of Qi Refining is to have more possible breakthroughs in the foundation building period. (End of this chapter)
