Chapter 178 Provocation

The Li family held the second elixir formation ceremony and invited all the surrounding forces to come to the banquet. However, in fact, they were still within the sphere of influence of Shenlei Mountain.

After all, the Li family only has two golden elixirs and their strength is limited. They don't have the face to invite the forces from Qingshan State.

Even if it didn't belong to the Divine Thunder Mountain, he wouldn't necessarily send someone to the banquet.

"Congratulations to my fellow Taoist for forming the golden elixir, and you will enjoy five hundred years of life from now on." A dark light flashed in Jiang Tianming's eyes, but his face was full of smiles.

Li Shilian said with a smile: "We are all delighted that fellow Taoist has made further progress in cultivation. It is also a great joy. Unfortunately, the family was busy at that time and could not attend the banquet of fellow Taoist. I hope fellow Taoist can forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small thing."

While the two were chatting, the Jindan monk sent by Shenlei Mountain to attend the banquet also arrived.

After some congratulations and greetings, the two were personally brought to the banquet by Li Shilian and waited for the banquet to start.

As Jindan monks, they were naturally the latest to arrive, so not long after they sat down, they began to serve various spiritual objects.

Compared with Li Shiqing's elixir-forming ceremony, this one seemed more luxurious. Various third-level spiritual fruits and spiritual wines were placed on the golden elixir table, and even a plate of second-level spiritual food was placed in front of all the monks.

A few years ago, Li Zhilou, one of the two foundation-builders born in the Li family, is a spiritual chef. After a period of study and improvement, he can now make second-level spiritual food relatively easily.

The spiritual food at this banquet was made by him himself. It was delicious and delicious, and many of the foundation-building monks saw it with great appetite.

It can also be seen from these small aspects that the Li family has accumulated some knowledge in the past few years, and perhaps it will not take many years to transform into a real golden elixir force.

However, not everyone is happy to see this situation. Among them, the most unpleasant-looking ones are undoubtedly the monks who came to the banquet from Yuan Mingzong.

The main reason is that the distance between the Li family and Yuan Mingzong is too close. If both parties want to develop, they will inevitably come into contact with the other party's territory, thereby harming the other party's interests.

Perhaps Yuan Mingzong didn't expect that not long after they eliminated their mortal enemy, the Green Sword Sect, a new opponent appeared, which even seemed more threatening than the Green Sword Sect!

This is reflected in the fact that the Li family's strength is growing too fast!

In less than ten years, one more golden elixir was born. Although there were not many foundation-building monks, that was because of the lack of foundation-building elixirs, but even so, two foundation-building monks were born.

As for the qi-training monks, not to mention, it is no longer an increase of dozens or dozens, but an increase of many times!

With the Li family with such potential just around the corner, how could Yuan Mingzong feel at ease?

It's a pity that the Li family has become powerful now. Although it is still not as good as Yuan Mingzong, it can no longer be easily solved.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianming felt a deep sense of regret in his heart. If he had known this, he should have taken advantage of Li Shiqing's injury to join forces with Junior Brother Mingli to kill him and eliminate the disaster.

After the banquet was over, it was Li Shilian who spoke, but the Jindan from Shenlei Mountain suddenly said: "Fellow Taoists, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you take a look at the congratulatory gift from the sect first?"

Li Shiqing and Li Shilian frowned slightly when they heard this. What is Shen Lei Mountain doing? And it also gave the two of them a feeling of malicious intent.

But the two of them couldn't refuse, so they could only let people open the congratulatory gifts sent by Shen Lei Mountain.

"This is……"

The expressions of Li Shiqing and others changed slightly, and the eyes of other foundation-building forces were full of envy. No one expected that Shenlei Mountain would send such a thing to the Li family.

Foundation-building elixir!

And he gave away ten foundation-building elixirs!

"I heard that the Li family is short of foundation-building elixirs. However, the disciples of the sect are in great demand. We really can't come up with the elixirs directly, so we have to send some elixirs and let fellow Taoists refine them by themselves."

The golden elixir suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, where is the junior from the Li family who refines the foundation-building elixir?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Li Shiqing then explained: "He had some enlightenment some time ago and is now practicing in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan nodded and said no more, as if it was just a casual mention.

Li Shiqing narrowed his eyes slightly, Shen Leishan wanted to start a fight between the Li family and Yuan Mingzong!

Although the strength of the two families is far less than that of Shenlei Mountain, and they cannot threaten Shenlei Mountain's status, they still need to have the necessary checks and balances.

The previous conflict between Yuan Mingzong and the Green Sword Sect was probably inseparable from Shenlei Mountain, but unexpectedly the Li family suddenly appeared and joined forces to destroy the Green Sword Sect.

Jiang Tianming next to him also understood this, but his expression was very dull, and he had obviously expected this.

While everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Li Shilian stepped forward and began to preach. He was talking about his insights into earth magic.

Because it was a symbolic sermon, it ended after half an hour.

This also meant that the banquet was coming to an end. Under the leadership of Shen Lei Shan Jin Dan, everyone got up and left.

In order to conveniently check the gifts sent by various forces, Li Shiqing and other senior family officials came to the main hall, and it didn't take long to count them. Most of them were second-level spiritual objects.

Yuan Mingzong bought a relatively common third-level spiritual object, and the most precious one was naturally the ten foundation-building elixirs given by Shenlei Mountain.

"It seems that Shenlei Mountain is not willing to see Yuan Mingzong continue to grow bigger." Li Shilian said with emotion.

After annexing the Green Sword Sect, Yuan Mingzong has already occupied the southeast corner. If they annex the Li family's territory again, then they will be the only power in the entire southeast. How could Shenlei Mountain allow this to happen?

But now, the only one with the ability to stop Yuan Mingzong's power in the southeast region is the Li family, and Shenlei Mountain naturally wants to help.

"Yuan Mingzong is still stronger than the family, so it's better not to confront him tit for tat." Li Zhizhun frowned.

He originally thought that after Li Shilian broke through, not to mention destroying Yuan Mingzong, he could at least communicate with him on an equal footing, but now it seems that the Li family is still a head shorter than him.

If that's all, that's it. After all, the two forces are wary of each other, so there shouldn't be too much conflict, but Shen Lei Mountain cannot see the two families 'coexisting peacefully'.

Everyone looked slightly bitter. Who would have thought that Jiang Tianming, who had not shown his face for many years, would bring them such a big 'surprise'?

"That's it, let's leave this matter as it is. Let's discuss it later." Li Shiqing shook his head. No matter how much they discussed, it was useless. They still had to wait and see what Yuan Mingzong's reaction was.

Then he said: "Now let's discuss how to deal with these ten foundation-building elixirs."

"Don't you wait for Zhirui to come out of seclusion and hand it over to him for refining?" Li Shilian and others looked at Li Shiqing in confusion.

Li Shiren said: "Zhirui refined the Foundation Establishment Pill last time, and it will definitely work this time, and the quantity will increase."
