Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road

Gan Mantang finally understood the Demon-Devouring Boy's intention.

The idea has already been put on his head, so it would be easy to give a gift to a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

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

"Before you build your foundation, you can carry this jade pendant with you. When you are in danger, it will automatically activate the shield. Even for a cultivator in the early stage of building the foundation, it will be difficult to break it in a short period of time."

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

"Just give it a try."

"If I 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 already expressed his gratitude." While speaking, the Demon-Swallowing Boy signaled Li Yongfeng with his eyes that he could go back in.

Li Yongfeng nodded and bowed to the two before leaving.

"You look so happy, are you happy to get a little advantage from me?"

"It's reasonable not to take advantage of a bargain."

"Speaking of which...if your beloved disciple doesn't join us in the Fallen Demon Valley, you will have a lot of burden in the future."

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

In fact, regarding Li Yongfeng's training resources, Li Qianqing said that they could all be handed over to their Li family, but the Demon-Swallowing Boy himself was unwilling to do so. Li Yongfeng said that he was his only disciple, and it was unreasonable for a master not to take good care of his disciple.

This is the truth in the opinion of the Demon-Swallowing Boy. If all of Li Yongfeng's training resources are provided by him, it will be fine during the Qi Refining Stage and before the Foundation Building Stage, but after the late Foundation Building Stage, the resources required will be much greater.

The Demon-Swallowing Boy’s idea was that before he passed away, he must train his disciple to the Core Formation stage.

……

The forty-third year of the Qingli period.

In the forty-three years since the establishment of Qing Kingdom, the number of Li family cultivators has doubled.

More than thirty years ago, the net increase in the number of cultivators in the Li family was more than twenty people each year. Now the Li family has five Jindan stage cultivators, the number of foundation building stage cultivators has reached thirty-six, and the number of Qi refining stage cultivators is over 1,300.

Without considering the Jindan stage and the foundation building stage, just based on the number of Qi Refining cultivators, the Li family barely meets the standards of a royal family.

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

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

Among the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, the proportion of those at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining is relatively high, which is quite different from many forces.

"In another twenty or thirty years, it will be 80% possible for the family's foundation-building cultivator to break through fifty."

As the foundation-building seeds are cultivated one by one to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, they can receive a foundation-building pill for free to assist in their cultivation.

After an ordinary Jindan cultivation family grows and becomes a royal family, it is very difficult to obtain the resources for building the foundation for Qi refining breakthrough for free, especially the foundation building pill.

The Li family was able to achieve this thanks to Li Qianqing and Li Qiuben.

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

The family has more than twenty foundation-building pills in ten years. Even with 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 will either be auctioned off in exchange for spirit stones, or directly purchased by the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce.

If there is no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills, any family member who has cultivated a Foundation Establishment Seed to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can obtain a Foundation Establishment 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 their foundation.

The technique that can be practiced to the tenth level of Qi Refining by the Fire Spirit Root was practiced by Li Qianqing during his Qi Refining period, while the technique that can be practiced to the tenth level of Qi Refining by the Gold Spirit Root was obtained after the Zhao royal family was destroyed.

Currently in the entire country, apparently only the royal family has the ability to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

After the Zhao royal family was eliminated, the Li family had more choices of cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. There were not many people in the Jindan stage, and not as many as those that Li Qianqing had added to the clan treasury. The two together were also considerable. Among the forces in the entire three small countries, only the Lu royal family could compare with them in terms of the number of Jindan techniques they possessed.

As the number of monks in the family continued to increase, the number of hired monks decreased.

"... Sixty-one monks from other families."

Before becoming a royal family, there were only twelve non-royal cultivators in the Li family. After becoming a royal family, the number of these cultivators increased by roughly one every year.

These cultivators can also be considered as cultivators of the Li family. They married into the Li family or married into the Li family's family. Among them, the number of cultivators who married into the Li family's family is relatively small, and all of them 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 marry into the wives' families all have mixed spiritual roots.

This situation seems quite normal to Li Qianqing.

The cultivators with good talents would rather become disciples of the sect so that they can obtain more resources. The proportion of cultivators from other families in the Li family is quite large, even though it is difficult to marry into the Li family. This result is mainly due to the reputation of their Li family.

Only by meeting the two most basic standards of being liked by the children of the Li family and being agreed by the family elders can one become a member of the Li family.

Compared to the latter, it is more difficult to gain the true love of the Li family members.

Because the royal family of Qing Kingdom, although the Li family had provided very good guidance and training, it was still impossible to avoid the situation where the family cultivators had higher and higher standards. For some family girls with mixed spiritual roots, the minimum standard for marrying into the family was to have three spiritual roots, which was 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, one from the Wutong Ma family, and the other from the Qingliu Liu family. These two families have a good relationship with the Li family, which also gives their family an opportunity.

The female cultivators from the family who were married out all had four spiritual roots, while those who were married in all had double spiritual roots, and they were the foundation-building seeds of the Ma and Liu families.

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

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

Just a month and a half ago, Li Xunting began her retreat and practice.

She has practiced harder in recent years, and 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.

"Mid stage of pill formation!"

Although there were some minor troubles during the breakthrough process, they were eventually resolved successfully.

Overall, she completed the breakthrough relatively smoothly.

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

There are a total of ten kinds of materials needed to practice the secret method. The Li family has gradually collected the materials below the fourth level over the years, and even the fourth-level lower-grade three-phase ice is still being inquired about.

In addition to inquiring about the news on his own, he also asked the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce for help.

Materials that can reach the fourth level are not that easy to collect. Even with the current capabilities of the Li family, it would take a long time. In contrast, materials below the fourth level, as long as they are not particularly rare, can be collected within five years after the Li family mobilizes its power.

In terms of spiritual practice, six years ago, when she was still in the early stage of Jindan, she began to practice her first sixth-grade spiritual art "Tian Shuang". After reaching the entry level, she felt that it took too long, so she did not continue practicing.

Even though she possessed an ice spirit body, it was still difficult for her to practice sixth-grade spiritual arts in the early stage of Jindan. The difficulty she felt was still much easier than for ordinary Jindan early stage cultivators to practice fifth-grade spiritual arts.

In the next half month, Li Xunting practiced normally.

Until a family monk came up and reported a more important matter.

"Tell me, what's the news?"

"Grandma Gao, Wu Yueya of the Wu family has successfully formed a pill."

"Wu family... Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, go down."

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

The Wu family of Huangmin County is a top family that cultivates immortality through foundation building. When the Li family wiped out the Zhao royal family, the Wu family made a lot of efforts. Especially in the period before the annihilation of the Zhao royal family, many things in Huangmin County were done by the Wu family.

After the establishment of the Qing Kingdom, when the Li family was short of manpower, the Wu family also provided some help.

As a subsidiary force of their 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 succeeded in forming the elixir, she has to go over there first to offer her blessings and talk about the issue of the subsidiary.

Previously, 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 being affiliated with a Jindan sect, being affiliated with the Zhao royal family had too many restrictions and might even lead to further suppression.

Li Xunting soon took action.

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

"Junior Wu Xingxiong greets senior."

"Well, let's lead the way."

"Yes."

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

The people in their Wu family had already guessed that Li Xunting would definitely come over after hearing that someone in their Wu family had achieved Dan.

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

Wu Yueya's success in forming a golden elixir meant that their Wu family had officially transformed from a top foundation-building family of immortal cultivators to a golden elixir-forming family of immortal cultivators. To be precise, the cultivators of their Wu family had been waiting for this leap for nearly four hundred years.

With the emergence of the Wu family, the future structure of the Qing Kingdom will become one emperor, three clans and ten families.

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

"Fellow Daoist Li." When Wu Yueya saw Li Xunting, she realized that she was no longer in the early stage of Jindan. "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for reaching the middle stage of Jindan. You will definitely be one of the cultivators in the late stage of Jindan in Qing Country."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu." Li Xunting nodded and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated Fellow Daoist Wu on his success in forming the elixir yet, but you congratulated me first."

In Wu Yueya's impression, Li Xunting is serious. If you can make her smile even a little bit when talking, 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 girls exchanged pleasantries for a while before Li Xunting got down to business.

"After the Wu family became a Jindan cultivation family, I wonder what Brother Wu's plans are?" Li Xunting asked.

"I don't have any plans, it's fine this way."

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

She had already thought of the answer, which was naturally 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 a different answer. However, if it was still the Zhao royal family, Wu Yueya didn't think she could form the pill so smoothly and peacefully.

Maybe during the process of forming the elixir, he would be disturbed by people from the Zhao royal family.

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

The Zhao royal family was later replaced by the Li family, and they were really suppressed bit by bit, which made their development much more comfortable than many independent foundation-building immortal cultivation families.

Of course, in the process of development, they must not have any other ideas about the Li family, otherwise the consequences will be the same as what happened to the Zhao royal family before.

"I think that it is also a good choice for your Wu family to replace our Li family and become a subsidiary Jindan cultivation family of Qingfeng Valley." After getting Wu Yueya's answer, Li Xunting tried to say.

After the Li family became the royal family, their relationship with Qingfeng Valley naturally did not even amount to a superficial affiliation.

“If our Wu family could have become a Jindan cultivation family more than 50 years ago, it would have been a good choice for us, but things are different now.”

Wu Yueya kept praising the Li family.

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

If the Wu family continues to be affiliated with the Li family, the resources they need to provide each year will remain unchanged.

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

Although Qing Kingdom has one more Jindan-level cultivating family, the overall structure remains similar to before.

This Jindan power structure will continue for several decades in the future.

Time goes by.

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

Twenty-seven years have passed since Li Qianqing broke through to the late stage of Jindan.

Up to now, the Cang Yun Order in the hands of their Li family still only needs two pieces. It was not until today that Li Qianqing received the news from Lu Shangqing.

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

The closer we get to the opening of the Cang Yun Realm, the more owners most of the Cang Yun Orders have, and the chance of obtaining a Cang Yun Order becomes smaller and smaller.

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

According to Lü Shangqing's information, he will arrive at Qing State in about half a month and personally deliver the Cang Yun Order to him. (End of this chapter)
