Chapter 77 Regular Meeting

"The Li family has been shrinking the population recently. According to statistics, in just one month, the Li family took away at least 50,000 young men and women from Yunping Prefecture."

Almost at the same time, all the forces in Yunping Prefecture received similar news.

"Is the Li family not satisfied with the number of members in their family and want to reproduce a large number of descendants and increase the number of monks?"

In fact, to this day, the major forces in Yunping Prefecture have guessed the origin of the Li family. Although it is not clear that the Li family was once a vassal of the Beast Control Sect 20,000 miles away, they also know that the Li family abandoned their original clan territory and took it with them. Some tribesmen fled to Yunping Prefecture and merged with the Li family branch of Darong Island.

That's why the Li family, which was originally mysterious and secluded from the world, suddenly appeared a few years ago and showed surprising strength.

Then, at an extremely fast speed, he created two major industries and established a firm foothold in Yunping Prefecture.

During this period, it was not that there were no forces targeting and attacking the Li family, but who knew that the Li family was far more powerful than they imagined.

The beast-controlling family!

Every foundation-building monk has cultivated a second-level spiritual beast!

In this way, with the strength of the Li family, other families are no match for the Li family unless Yuan Mingzong takes action.

A few months ago, a new foundation builder was born in the Li family and became the acting patriarch of the Li family.

Other forces are very envious of this, but they no longer have any thoughts of targeting the Li family, because the gap between them is getting wider and wider, and they dare not offend the Li family easily.

For example, the Zheng and Zhang families are very scared now, worried that the Li family will settle old scores and wipe them out on this pretext.

As for the He and Qin families, the former has the protection promised by Yuan Mingzong, and the latter has a close relationship with the Jindan monks. Although he is uneasy, he is not too worried.

The actions of the Li family during this period are not concealed, and anyone can understand them. But even if they know the purpose of the Li family, what can they do?

Yunping Prefecture is currently the only one that can threaten the Li family's power, the Yuan Mingzong family. However, as the head of the Li family and a sect with Jin Dan in charge, it does not feel that the Li family will pose a threat to him.

Even if the Li family released news that the previous longevity of the family was approaching and was in retreat, trying to break through the golden elixir, Yuan Mingzong didn't care.

After all, if the golden elixir was really so easy to break through, it would have been impossible for the Yuan Ming Sect to have inherited it for hundreds of years before Jiang Tianming, a golden elixir monk, appeared.

Moreover, Yuan Mingzong has no energy to take care of these trivial matters now, because nearly a few decades after Jiang Tianming's breakthrough, Yuan Mingzong is about to give birth to his second golden elixir monk!

This is why Yuan Mingzong is so confident that he doesn't take the Li family seriously at all, because even if a Jindan is born in the Li family, it will not threaten Yuan Mingzong's dominance in Yunping Prefecture.

Of course, this is still a secret. Even within Yuan Mingzong, there are no more than three people who know it!

——

Darong Island.

Because Li Zhirui's many reforms were put in place, the family's development speed has accelerated again. Although the clan members' cultivation has not increased significantly in a short period of time, in a year or two, the overall strength of the family will definitely be greatly improved.

However, Li Zhirui's habit of being lazy has not changed, and he still doesn't like dealing with trivial matters.

Fortunately, Li Shile and other elders are here, and they handle various family matters in an orderly manner, allowing Li Zhirui, the acting patriarch, to have enough time to do his own things.

But should I say it or not, Li Zhirui is really busy now!

Because Li Zhirui broke through the foundation building, Daqing received feedback through the contract and officially broke through the eighth level of Qi training, and he only needed to accumulate another one or two years to go one step further.

In order to shorten Daqing's breakthrough time, Li Zhirui refined a large number of jade elixirs for him. Of course, the more important thing was to earn more spiritual stones to ripen the elixir.

The next step is to learn second-level spells. Although Li Zhirui may not be able to go out to practice in recent years, spells still need to be learned. You can't just start learning before leaving, right?

The most important thing is to understand the prescription of Ning Yuan Dan and start refining it.

Because the second-level elixir was expensive, Li Zhirui actually started refining it just a few days ago. He had used up all the materials he had purchased before, including those for ripening, totaling more than thirty ingredients.

As for the gains, it cannot be said that there are none. Although Li Zhirui has not refined the Yuan Ning Dan yet, he has gained a lot of experience, and the mistakes he made are getting further and further. Maybe he can succeed after practicing it another twenty or thirty times.

But now, all the spiritual stones and elixirs in Li Zhirui's hands have been used up, so he can only refine some jade elixirs and sell them to make money.

Early the next morning, Li Zhirui looked at the calendar and found that today was the day of the monthly meeting again, so he had to get up and walk out of the courtyard.

"How did you do with all the affairs last month?" Li Zhirui quickly asked Li Zhizhun before the time came. He was handling these things, and he couldn't understand better.

"They are all doing well." Li Zhizhun hesitated for a while and said: "There is only one thing. Elder Shi Zhong brought back too many mortals from Yunping Prefecture. Now they have exceeded the secular clansmen. Shouldn't there be restrictions?"

After all, as a family that cultivates immortals based on blood ties, too many foreign mortals are not a threat, but if they are not handled well, they can also be a trouble.

"Well, brother, you are right. We should indeed limit the number of foreigners." Li Zhirui nodded. He had not considered this matter comprehensively. Fortunately, it has not caused any negative impact so far and can be dealt with in time.

Not long after, one elder after another entered the main hall, and in the end there were only four empty chairs. Their owners were Li Shize, Li Shilian, Li Shiren and Li Shiting.

The former was out collecting information and rarely returned to Darong Island. As for the three people behind him, as Li Zhirui secured his position as the clan leader and had nothing to do with them, he reduced the number of regular meetings he attended.

"The development of the family is getting better and better, thanks to the unremitting efforts and dedication of all the elders. On behalf of all the clan members, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

After Li Zhirui spoke some official words, he started talking about business, "Elder Shizhong, there are enough mortals on the island now, and there is no need to bring people back to Yunping Prefecture for the time being."

"Next, I have to work hard to settle those mortals. It's best to disperse them all and arrange for some people to go to the north to prevent them from getting together."

Because the three spiritual veins on the island are relatively close to the south, the ancestors who developed Darong Island naturally arranged all the people in the south in order to better protect the secular people. However, with the increase in population, the development of the north will be a matter of time.

Moreover, there are many plains in the north, unlike the hills in the south, which are covered with tall banyan trees, so development is less difficult.

"Okay, patriarch, I will take care of this matter." Although Li Shizhong was a little disappointed, he quickly agreed to the matter. After all, the better he did the matter, the easier it would be for Li Zhirui to be reused.

Li Zhirui nodded, looked at Li Shijin, and said: "Since the family has decided to open up the north, then the escort team will need to take the lead to clean up the dangers in the mountains and forests to the north."

Then Li Zhirui talked about some small things, looked through the list issued by the house elder, and the account books in the hands of the general affairs elder. After confirming that there were no problems, he ended the regular meeting.
