Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road

Half a month after Li Qianqing’s Yuanying Banquet.

The Yue royal family held a high-level meeting, and all Jindan cultivators were present.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"It is absolutely true. The Lu royal family has become a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing royal family! It seems that this happened during Li Qianqing's Yuanying Banquet, or maybe even earlier."

"No matter what the Qing royal family was like before, after they transformed from a Jindan force to a Yuanying force, their strategy would have changed more or less. I think it was the right decision for the Lu royal family to become a subsidiary force of the Qing royal family."

"I don't think so. If the Li family wanted to change their strategy, they would have done so long ago. Don't forget that when Li Qianqing was in the late Jindan stage, he had the strength of half a Yuanying. The Lu royal family is completely over-worried. Now that they have become a Jindan force affiliated with the Li family, they have to provide too many resources every year."

Because of this incident, the top leaders of the Yue royal family began a heated discussion.

When the news came out that the Lu royal family had become a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing royal family, all the high-ranking royal family members of Yue present understood what to do.

They need to decide the future direction of their family and discuss whether they should become a subordinate Jindan force of the Qing royal family, just like the Lu royal family.

I think what we should do is to take precautions before it happens and devote resources to maintaining stability.

Those who do not want to become a Jindan force affiliated with the Li family all think that as long as they do not make any unnecessary moves, the Qing royal family will not do anything to them.

"It's true what you said. If we don't do anything, the Qing royal family will not take action against us. But you seem to have forgotten one thing. If Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect take the initiative to become affiliated forces of the Li family, what should we do?"

After this question was raised, many senior family members present fell silent.

They are thinking.

There are deep conflicts between the Yue royal family, Chenyu Villa, and Tianfeng Sect, and the grievances among them are also complicated.

In order to better deal with the Yue royal family, it is not ruled out that Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Gate will really do this.

If they did so, with the help of the power of the Qing royal family, they would most likely be put on the defensive.

"The Qing royal family is not stupid. They will not intervene in our struggle."

"But if Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect really become affiliated forces of the Qing royal family, even if the Qing royal family does not take action against us, it will be difficult for us to take action against them, let alone destroy them."

Because the conflict between the Yue royal family and the two major Jindan sects was very deep.

When Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect were brought up, the voices opposing becoming a Jindan force affiliated with the Qing royal family became smaller and smaller.

"Anyway, the Lu royal family has become a subsidiary force of the Qing royal family. Now the Qing royal family is also a Yuanying-level force. It is normal for the Jindan forces to become a subsidiary of the Yuanying forces."

"I have no objection to becoming a subsidiary of the Qing royal family, but I hope that the resources I have to pay each year can be less."

"This is not something we can decide. The amount of resources is decided by them... Also, if we donate less resources, it means we are not sincere. We have to provide resources every year anyway, so trying to save some will only do us more harm."

To be discussed later.

The future strategy of the Yue royal family has basically been determined. First, they must become a subordinate Jindan force of the Li family, and then they can find ways to continue to deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Gate.

With the strong support of the Li family of Qing Kingdom, they can also ensure that they can maintain a greater advantage in the competition with the two major Jindan sects.

After the meeting.

Some high-ranking officials of the Yue royal family could not help but sigh.

Since they became monks, they never thought that one day in the future, their Yue royal family would become a subordinate force.

After they became a subsidiary force of the Qing Kingdom's Li Family, it meant that the Qing Kingdom's Li Family had the ability to indirectly influence the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world.

Of course, as a family of Nascent Soul cultivators, the Li family of Qing Kingdom could, if they wanted to and put in a certain amount of effort, have an impact on the world of immortal cultivation in Yue Kingdom.

...

After the Lu royal family became a subordinate force of their Li family, Li Qianqing was not surprised to see Yue Zhongming, the ancestor of the Yue royal family, appear before him.

He guessed that the Yue royal family would take action after hearing that the Lu royal family had become their affiliated force.

Look, he has come to my door.

"Senior Li, after our Yue royal family becomes your affiliated force, we don't need you to help us deal with Chenyu Villa and Tianfeng Sect. We can do it ourselves." When saying this, Yue Zhongming's expression was rather solemn.

Li Qianqing couldn't help but smile.

He understood the meaning of the other person's words.

Isn't it just about not interfering in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world?

The smile on Li Qianqing's face was gentle, but before he opened his mouth, Yue Zhongming would not think that the matter was settled.

"Of course no problem." Li Qianqing didn't want to devote too much energy to either the immortal cultivation world of Lu or the immortal cultivation world of Yue.

Whether for him or the Li family, everything should be normal.

Yue Zhongming heaved a sigh of relief after getting Li Qianqing's consent, but after Li Qianqing just said two words, he felt a shock in his heart.

"But if your Yue royal family encounters difficulties, we will still help you. After all, you are already our subordinates."

"Thank you, Senior Li!" Yue Zhongming immediately thanked him upon hearing this.

For him, this sentence was undoubtedly a pie in the sky. If they had known that Li Qianqing was so easy to talk to, they would not have to hold a high-level meeting. He, the ancestor, could have made the final decision directly.

"You are Welcome."

Seeing that Li Qianqing was really easy-going, Yue Zhongming talked more after that.

The Li family does not interfere in the affairs of the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world and also provides them with a security guarantee. Although they basically do not need this security guarantee, it is definitely better to have it than not.

It was almost dusk when Yue Zhongming left, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

After talking with Li Qianqing, a senior in the Nascent Soul stage, he now realized the many benefits.

After Yue Zhongming left, Li Qianqing asked someone to pass on the news that the Yue royal family was affiliated with them.

Having gained the affiliation of the two royal families, no matter what the actual situation was, in the eyes of others, the Li family had already controlled the three small countries.

This is normal. After all, the Li family is already a Nascent Soul family of immortal cultivators, and the only Nascent Soul force in the entire three small countries.

……

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the eighty-fifth year of the Qingli calendar.

It has been seven and a half years since Li Qianqing broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Over the past seven years, the region of the three small countries has been more peaceful than ever before, especially in the country of Yue. Usually, there would be minor frictions among the Jindan forces every three to five years.

Compared with the three small countries, the situation in Fanyan Country is different. Originally, there were two Nascent Soul forces in conflict, and unknowingly it became four.

Liu Mingjuan of Wuyue Palace had already decided to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage. She had been in retreat half a year before he used the sound transmission talisman, and now she has been in retreat for eight years. That day, Li Qianqing had just finished practicing the second of the Three Wonders of God Destruction, when he received the sound transmission talisman from the Devouring Demon Boy.

Li Qianqing didn't need to think too much to know what the sound transmission note was telling him.

After receiving the information from the sound transmission talisman, just as he thought, the monks of the Demon Valley would gather and head to the Misty Rain Forest in a month.

In order to go to the Misty Rain Forest, the Demon Valley sets a most basic condition, which is to reach the middle stage of foundation building.

If your cultivation is too low, going to the Misty Rain Forest will just mean sending a corpse to the evil cultivator there.

"We will set off for the Demon Valley in a few days."

After entering the Nascent Soul Stage, his travel speed naturally increased. Now, it didn't take him too much time to travel from his ancestral land to the Demon Valley in the easternmost part of the Ming Kingdom.

His main purpose of going to the misty rain forest was to obtain the Lishen Tree and collect some auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining the fourth-grade inferior Chongyang Pill.

After more than seven years of collecting, the family is now short of two kinds of spiritual medicines in order to refine Chongyang Pill. One is third-grade top-grade red water wood, and the other is third-grade middle-grade Tianchi grass.

Among them, red water wood is likely to be harvested in the misty rain forest.

Although the misty rainforest in the area is rich in spiritual trees, the places where these spiritual trees are born are generally full of dangers.

Before leaving Qing Kingdom for Ming Kingdom, Li Qianqing also informed some core members of the family of his visit to the Misty Rainforest.

After the core senior executives of Changqing Mountain learned about it, he went to Huangmin County and Weishui County, mainly to inform Li Xunting and Li Xunming of the situation.

After Li Xunting understood the situation, she asked him to be more careful. She had heard of the Misty Rain Forest. It was incomparable to the land of the Five Kingdoms. It was almost a world of evil cultivators, and there were very few cultivators practicing normal techniques.

After Li Xunming learned about the situation, he wanted to go to the misty rainforest with Li Qianqing to gain some experience.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, can you take me with you?" Li Xunming looked at Li Qianqing expectantly.

"Yes, but under one condition."

"What conditions? Tell me."

"I will use 30% of my strength to test your best means of escape. If you can escape from my pursuit, I will take you to the misty rain forest." Li Qianqing smiled and put forward his conditions.

"Ah... forget it then."

If it was a normal cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, Li Xunming would still be very confident that he could escape from him even if he exerted 30% of his strength. But if his opponent was Thirteenth Grandpa, he would not have the confidence even if he only exerted 20% of his strength.

It seems that Grandpa Thirteen doesn't want him to go to the misty rainforest for the time being.

After knowing Thirteenth Grandpa's meaning, Li Xunming did not talk about this topic at all in the following conversation, but asked Li Qianqing more questions about cultivation.

The reason why he couldn't go to the Misty Rain Forest was simply that he wasn't strong enough and wasn't proficient enough in his escape methods.

In the next few decades, while cultivating to the peak of Jindan, Li Xunming plans to further improve his escape methods, so that when he is in the Jindan stage, even if the early Yuanying stage cultivators chase him with all their might, they will not be able to capture him.

He met with the core members of the family who needed to be met and said what needed to be said. After a few days, Li Qianqing officially set out for the Demon Valley of the Ming Dynasty.

As he is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, it can be said that it is easy for him to cross the tributary of Ming River. The Ming Clan under the Ming River, as long as they have not reached the fourth level, will not want to attack a Nascent Soul cultivator in most cases.

When crossing the Ming River this time, Li Qianqing felt the breath of the Ming Clan, and the other party did not dare to show up.

After crossing the Ming River tributary, he did not restrain his current aura and went directly to the Demon Valley. With his current speed, even if he restrained his aura and encountered a Jindan stage cultivator, he would not be so desperate as to attack him.

The robber cultivators are always very careful when robbing and killing other cultivators. Someone like Li Qianqing is definitely not within their prey range.

The easternmost part of the Ming Dynasty is also the easternmost part of the Five Kingdoms.

Even here, only some places are under the influence of the Demon Valley.

Although it is an old Nascent Soul-level force, the influence of the Demon Valley is much smaller than that of the new Nascent Soul force, the Li family. Apart from the Demon Valley, the influence of the three small countries combined is not as large as that of any Nascent Soul force.

The influence of the Demon Valley is limited. Both the Ming imperial family and the Tiandao Sect are very sensible and will never touch even a little bit of the Demon Valley. They even hope that the Demon Valley can expand its influence a little bit to reinforce the loophole that prevents the invasion of evil cultivators in the misty rain forest.

"Senior Li, this way please!"

Li Qianqing had just arrived at the Demon Valley when the monk guarding the mountain gate recognized him at a glance. It was obvious that the Demon-Swallowing Boy had already told him about it.

"Ah."

The disciples of the Demon Valley looked at him with admiration in their eyes. Even though he was not a cultivator from the Demon Valley, the fact that he came to participate in the Demon Valley's campaign to eliminate the evil cultivators in the Misty Rain Forest was worthy of admiration, no matter how high his cultivation level was.

There are also many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Misty Rain Forest, so even if a Nascent Soul cultivator goes to the Misty Rain Forest, there is a risk of falling.

Under the guidance of the disciples of the Demon Valley, Li Qianqing soon arrived at the residence of the Demon-Devouring Boy.

"Senior, I will take you here."

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

Li Qianqing had just taken a few steps when he saw a shadow flash in front of him, and the Demon-Devouring Boy appeared in front of him.

"Brother Qianqing, you arrived just now. I thought you were not coming." The Demon-Devouring Boy joked.

"Hahaha, man, as the patriarch of my family, I'm going to another area, and there are many things that need to be explained. I haven't become the retired old guy in the family yet." Li Qianqing also joked about himself.

"If you are an old guy, then what am I?"

"Old boy."

"That's true."

If you don't have a good relationship with the Demon-Swallowing Boy and dare to call him old boy, he will definitely get angry with you and may even attack you. It's okay to say that he is old, but you must never call him young.

Talk while walking.

The Demon-Swallowing Boy told him about the monks who were heading from the Demon Valley to the Misty Rain Forest.

There are a total of three Nascent Souls in the Demon Valley. This time, the Nascent Souls that went to the Misty Rain Forest include, in addition to the Demon-Swallowing Boy, a Demon-Slayer Taoist in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The name Demon-Slayer was given to himself after he killed ten evil cultivators.

He is the strongest among the Demon Valley. He has participated in three operations to eliminate evil cultivators in the Misty Rainforest before. This time is the fourth time. According to his current lifespan, he still has a chance to go for the fifth time in his lifetime.

In the entire Demon Valley, there are a total of twenty-two Jindan cultivators. Fifteen of them are heading to the Misty Rain Forest with the two Yuanying cultivators, accounting for 70% of the Jindan cultivators.

As for the cultivators in the middle to peak stage of foundation building, about half of the cultivators in this stage were dispatched.

Every time an operation was carried out to eliminate the evil cultivators, the number of cultivators left in the Demon Valley was less than 40% of the original comprehensive strength. (End of this chapter)
