He felt that the eleven commanders of Zishan City could be killed, so he split the number of them in half with the high-ranking monks of the Lu royal family who left the eleven commanders behind.

Now it’s a competition of who can convince whom.

"Believe me, given the current situation in Fanyang Country, killing this Eleventh Commander will have no impact."

"Just because it has no impact now doesn't mean it will have any impact in the future. Killing the eleven commanders of Zishan City won't bring us much benefit, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. It is undoubtedly best to leave him like this, unless the Li family wants us to kill him, then it won't be too late for us to take action."

The two sides had heated discussions on this issue.

In the end, the reason for not killing the eleven commanders of Zishan City prevailed.

"Okay, that's it." Qi Lijin, the ancestor of the Lu royal family, concluded, "Regarding the matter of the eleven commanders of Zishan City, we will ignore him for now. As long as he doesn't make any unnecessary moves in our ancestral land, let him live. Once he does something that crosses the line, he must be eliminated with thunder and lightning."

"…The nineteenth commander of Zishan City died at the hands of Dongqiang, but that was Li Qianqing's attempt to tie us down. As long as we maintain the status quo, the Li family will never leak this news."

At the end of his speech, the ancestor Qi Lijin looked at Qi Dongqiang.

"Dongqiang."

"Ancestor, please give me your orders."

"Go talk to the eleventh commander of Zishan City and tell him the news that the Devouring Demon Boy is guarding the Li family. See if you can get Zishan City to pay something. If there is, that would be great, but if not, that's fine too."

"Yes."

After the high-level meeting, Qi Dongqiang went to find the eleven commanders of Zishan City.

At the meeting, he advocated killing the eleven commanders.

The nineteenth commander had already died at his hands, so the death of another commander-level figure from Zishan City would be the least of his worries.

"Commander Eleven, important news! We have evacuated from Qing Kingdom." Qi Dongqiang told the result as soon as they met.

"what?"

When the Eleventh Commander heard the news, he was almost furious.

It's bad enough that the Lu royal family has made slow progress over the years, but now they're telling him that they've evacuated from Qing. That means there hasn't been any progress at all from the beginning to now.

He opened his mouth, but immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.

After a moment of silence, he asked slowly.

"What exactly happened?"

"You know the demon-devouring boy from the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, he is a famous Jindan cultivator in the Ming Dynasty."

"Not anymore. He has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and has even come to Qing Kingdom... This is not the most important thing. The key is that the Demon Devouring Boy will be stationed at the Li family from now on! He is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so we have to retreat now."

After saying this, Qi Dongqiang sighed and seemed to feel it was a pity.

The eleven commanders of Zishan City were quite surprised when they heard the news. The Demon-Swallowing Boy was guarding the Li Family, and this Demon-Swallowing Boy had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

If the progress was slower before, they could have wiped out the Li family as long as the timing was right, but now there is no chance at all.

The Eleventh Commander knew very well in his mind that it was impossible for their Zishan City to send a Nascent Soul cultivator over.

"To deal with the Li family now, only Nascent Soul cultivators can take action." Having said this, Qi Dongqiang's gaze rested on the eleventh commander.

"I know." The Eleventh Commander nodded first, then shook his head, "But now is not the right time. I believe you know something about the situation in Fanyang Country. Now our city lord and deputy city lord are not coming here."

"But that may not be the case in the future."

Add a key sentence after the Eleventh Commander.

After the Li family was guarded by a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Eleventh Commander no longer thought about taking down the Li family, but about preserving himself.

He couldn't guarantee that the Lu royal family would not use his head to seek peace with the Li family.

So he needed to say something to protect himself.

If the Lu royal family really has feelings for him, it is better to put them aside. Otherwise, when Zishan City is free, it will be the day when your Lu royal family will be destroyed.

"In this case, we can only defend as much as possible." Qi Dongqiang said.

"If the news is true, we can only defend ourselves." Commander Eleven answered without any mistakes.

Qi Dongqiang has wanted to hook the Eleventh Commander of Zishan City since he first came in, but unfortunately he failed. The result of their discussion was not to completely let the Eleventh Commander go. As long as the Eleventh Commander did anything out of line, or even said something out of line, there would be a chance to take action.

When leaving, Qi Dongqiang was quite disappointed.

Only after the eleventh commander saw that everyone had left did he take out the sound transmission note to report the situation.

In addition to explaining that the Li family had Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the area, the report also took this opportunity to explain the reason for the slow progress.

The reason lies not with him as the Eleventh Commander, but with the Li family and the Lu royal family.

Then he could continue to stay with the Lu royal family without having to participate in the open and secret struggles between Zishan City and Wuyue Palace.

Given the current situation in Fanyang Kingdom, this side is much more comfortable than over there.

"Wait, I can convey a few more words. With these few words, I should be able to stay here safely."

After a third-level sound transmission talisman had conveyed all the information, the eleventh commander nodded in satisfaction.

...

Fanyang Kingdom, Zishan City.

The commander-in-chief has been very busy these days, even to the point of being a little dizzy, mainly because of the problems they have with Zishan City and Wuyue Palace.

A sound transmission talisman appeared before his eyes, and the commander-in-chief was very troubled.

There has been no good news coming from the three small countries.

"really."

After receiving the message in the sound transmission note, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but shake his head. The matter was serious and it was very bad news.

The Demon-Swallowing Boy broke through the Nascent Soul stage and guarded the Li Family. In this way, after rounding off, the Li Family was also equivalent to the Nascent Soul force.

"The Fallen Demon Valley... The Fallen Demon Valley..." the commander-in-chief repeated.

Among the seven Yuanying forces in the Five Kingdoms region, the most bizarre one is the Demon Valley. This is what the commander-in-chief thinks now, because the Demon Valley has already affected their Zishan City.

It's funny to say that the Ming Dynasty's Yuanying forces did not affect the Ming Dynasty's other Yuanying forces, but instead affected their Fanyang Kingdom.

Originally, they had been dealing with the Li family over the years, but because of the Five Mountains Palace, they had no time to take care of them and had not made any progress. But now, even if they in Zishan City used half of their energy, it would still be difficult to deal with the Li family.

"City Lord, City Lord, I hope you know how to give up after hearing this news..." The Grand Commander was not very sure, because their old city lord was very stubborn, and the older he got, the more stubborn he became. Taking out the sound transmission talisman, the Grand Commander originally wanted to call the eleventh commander back, but after thinking about the content of the eleventh commander's sound transmission, he decided to forget it.

If the old city lord continues to be stubborn, it would be better to send the eleven commanders to Lu, even if it is just for show.

The Lu royal family still influenced at least one county of Qing. It would not be a bad idea to let the eleventh commander come back just like that. In case there is a chance in the future, they can continue.

The sound transmission note disappeared in front of him.

This sound transmission note was not given to the eleventh commander, but to the seventeenth commander in Yue State. Given the current situation, there was no point for him to stay in Yue State. Moreover, after so many years, he still failed to convince the Yue royal family and the other two major Jindan sects.

The Luanxian Sect has not paid much in the past few years. At most, they can ask Commander Seventeen to give them something and terminate the cooperation.

……

Golden autumn September.

On the first day of September, Li Qianqing successfully cultivated to the peak of Jindan.

For him, the next step is to break the elixir and become a Nascent Soul cultivator, also the first Nascent Soul in the three small countries region in ten thousand years.

“Wait until mid-September before closing the door.”

If he had cultivated to the peak of the Jindan stage in August, he might have gone into seclusion directly, but now it was the first day of September, and it was also the beginning of the annual spiritual root test for the children of the Li family.

After waiting for ten days, if there is a talented child in the family, he will be in a very good mood after retreating and breaking through.

During the past ten years, the number of Qi-refining practitioners in the family has increased by more than 300 people, including more than 30 with foundation-building seeds, while the proportion of practitioners with true spiritual roots is not bad, exceeding three digits.

The number of foundation-building cultivators increased by four, which was pretty good.

In more than ten years, there was only one person who reached the stage of forming a Dan, and then he failed. It was very common for cultivators with dual spiritual roots to fail in forming a Dan without the help of spiritual objects for forming a Dan. For the current Li family, although the family still has three spiritual objects for forming a Dan, these were seeds for forming a Dan in the future. It was almost impossible for cultivators with dual spiritual roots without special physiques to obtain spiritual objects for forming a Dan.

However, the rules are different for the Nascent Soul after the Dan is formed.

Currently, the family owns five portions of fairy spring water, two portions of yellow flame seeds, and one seven-portion spiritual object that can break the elixir and become an infant.

As long as one can cultivate to the peak of Jindan, when he breaks through Yuanying for the first time in seclusion, he will obtain a spiritual object to assist in the formation of Nascent Soul.

The breakthrough from the peak of the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage is different from the breakthrough from the peak of the foundation building stage to the Jindan stage. The influence of the spiritual roots is much lower.

When breaking through from the peak of foundation building to Jindan, Li Xunming's success rate of breakthrough is higher than Li Xunting. While when breaking through from the peak of Jindan to Yuanying, under the same circumstances, the two are the opposite. Even with four spiritual roots, Li Xunting, who has an ice spirit body, is more likely to break through to Yuanying.

If she could tap into 70% of her Ice Spirit Body before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, then her chances of entering the Nascent Soul stage would be greater.

It is worth mentioning that five years ago, Li Xunting had successfully broken through to the late stage of Jindan. When she absorbed the Yuanchu Qi, she was still far from the peak of the middle stage of Jindan. Therefore, she was not able to reach the peak of the middle stage of Jindan like Li Xunming when she left the Cangyun Realm.

Breaking through from the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan period to the late stage of the Jindan period is a threshold.

The spiritual object that can help break through the elixir and form an infant is actually a reward for cultivators who have broken through to the late stage of the Jindan. If one can break through to the late stage of the Jindan, as long as one can cultivate to the peak of the Jindan, as long as there is a spiritual object in the family that can assist in the formation of an infant, it will be given.

When a Jindan cultivator breaks through to the Yuanying stage, it is mainly because the golden elixir in the body transforms into a Yuanying. Therefore, unlike the peak Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, it is not affected by Yuanshou. Of course, it is best for a Jindan cultivator to go into seclusion ten years before his Yuanshou is exhausted.

Because from the peak of the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage, if everything goes well, it takes at least five years and at most ten years.

Excluding the preparation time, it took the Demon-Swallowing Boy more than eight years to break through from the peak of the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.

If one does not spend ten years in seclusion to cultivate his Yuanshou, it is possible that his Yuanshou will be exhausted halfway through the breakthrough.

Of course, normal cultivators at the peak of the Jindan stage will not be stuck at such a limit. They usually start to retreat and break through the Yuanying stage twelve years before their Yuanshou period is exhausted.

The fifth day of September.

A sound transmission note from the Li family for detecting members of the spiritual root clan appeared in front of Li Qianqing.

“There’s good news!”

Li Qianqing was delighted when he saw this. The family cultivator who was responsible for checking spiritual roots came to him, so there was no doubt that there must be good news.

He will be notified only when a cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots or heavenly spiritual roots appears.
There are currently three cultivators with special spiritual roots in the family, Li Xunming, Li Qingqing and Li Yonghao. Except for Li Xunming who is in the late stage of Jindan, Li Qingqing failed in Jindan once but succeeded in the second time, which is similar to Li Xunting's situation. Finally, Li Yonghao is only in the early stage of foundation building.

After obtaining the foundation-building pill, building the foundation will not be difficult for cultivators with different spiritual roots.

Now that the family has a fourth cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots, Li Qianqing is satisfied, but the news he received is even better.

"Single fire spiritual root!"

The family once again produced a cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots.

The last cultivator with a natural spiritual root was Li Zhonghao, who had a single earth spiritual root. He has now reached the early stage of Jindan. Like Li Xunting, he is stationed in Huangmin County, but the place he is stationed in is the ancestral land of the former Zhao royal family.

After understanding the general information, Li Qianqing also used a sound transmission note.

This sound transmission note is to notify Li Xunting.

He planned to entrust the family's second cultivator with natural spiritual roots to Li Xunting for training and guidance.

He will have no time for at least the next five years, after all, he needs to go into seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Calculating the time, he has not trained any family cultivators for more than ten years.

In the three years before going to the Cang Yun Realm, even for cultivators with dual spiritual roots, he was not the one to guide and train them. Currently, only cultivators with different spiritual roots, natural spiritual roots, and special physiques are guided and trained by him as the clan leader.

It's almost dusk.

Li Qianqing met the second cultivator with natural spiritual roots in the family.

She was wearing a pink embroidered dress, the hem of which danced in the wind, her eyes were as clear as water, and her rosy cheeks made people want to kiss her.

Li Yiqing, a cultivator of the family's righteous generation, is a very cute little girl. Judging from her clothes and appearance, her father should be of high status among the mortals of the Li family.

The Li family is now the royal family of Qing Kingdom, and there are many mortals who serve as officials. Because they have the support of cultivators, the mortal kingdom, in general, is very different from a normal pure mortal kingdom.

"Hello, clan leader." After seeing Li Qianqing, Li Yiqing performed the etiquette of a junior.

Li Qianqing saw that her little face was flushed and she looked excited, and he knew that she must know a lot about the world of cultivators.

Although he did not have any specific information about Li Yiqing, he had already guessed it based on his observations.

After the spiritual root test was over, Li Yiqing was very happy to know that she had spiritual roots. After finding out that she had a single fire spiritual root, she jumped up with joy.

When she was very young, she often pestered her father to tell stories about immortals.

When she was seven or eight years old, she had a certain understanding of the world of immortal cultivation, and she understood some basic knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation. She just turned ten this year, and she was not disappointed when she tested her spiritual roots last year, because most children have their spiritual roots tested at the age of ten.

It is a rare case that spiritual roots are detected at the age of nine or eleven.

"Well, what's your name?" Li Qianqing squatted down and touched her little head.

"To the clan leader, my name is Li Yiqing, Qing on a sunny day." (End of this chapter)
