Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road

Not long after the fight between the two sides began, the temperature around them began to drop rapidly.

The leader of Tianyang Sect and Gu Jinrong were already far away from the battlefield, but the dropping temperature actually still had a little effect on them, the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Don’t underestimate this little bit of influence. If it only affects the cultivators in the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but they are Nascent Soul cultivators!

As time passed, the expression on the face of the Tianyang Sect's leader became more and more solemn.

So far, the round-faced monk has never gained the upper hand in the battle with Li Xunting. The former has been in the Nascent Soul stage for nearly two hundred years, while the latter has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a little over ten years.

Normally, with a difference of twenty times in the accumulation of time, such a situation should not occur.

"Is the Ice Spirit Body really so powerful?" The leader of Tianyang Sect couldn't help but wonder.

There is no specific explanation on the potential exploration of special physiques in Fanmao Realm, because the cultivators here have not explored their special physiques to a high level, rarely more than 60%, let alone 70%.

Li Qianqing basically learned all the knowledge related to special physique in the spiritual world.

As for the changes in Li Xunting's eyes and hair, it is very simple for a Nascent Soul force to achieve such a change. All they need to do is eat more blue-veined spiritual fruits like this second-level spiritual fruit.

What they didn't know was that Li Xunting was affected by the Ice Spirit Body, and the changes in her appearance were irreversible, not even if she ate similar spiritual fruits to cause the changes.

"I don't know whether the Ice Spirit Body is powerful or not, but Li Xunting is really powerful." Gu Jinrong acknowledged Li Xunting's strength.

During the sect's investigation of the Li family, the head of the Li family, Li Qianqing, was evaluated as having the strength of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Gu Jinrong did not believe this at first. It was too difficult for a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage to have the strength of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. It seemed too difficult to be true.

Now that she has seen Li Xunting's strength, her thoughts have wavered.

She knew very well that it had only been ten years since Li Xunting broke through the Nascent Soul stage.

If the round-faced monk was replaced and she went up to fight with Li Xunting, Gu Jinrong could not guarantee that she would not be suppressed. In any case, it would be difficult to defeat Li Xunting.

"A seventh-grade spiritual art at the Great Perfection level! I've never seen it before." The Tianyang Sect's Sect Master said, "It's said that the head of the Qing Kingdom's Li family inherited the legacy of an ancient cultivator. I think this fellow Taoist Li Xunting must have inherited the legacy of an ancient cultivator."

In the entire land of the Five Kingdoms, there are very few spiritual arts above the seventh rank. This is not even a five-element spiritual art, but an ice-attributed spiritual art.

This seventh-grade spiritual art has never been seen anywhere else except the current one, whether it is the leader of Tianyang Sect or Gu Jinrong.

There is no need to guess the outcome of this battle, as it has already been decided.

Now the leader of Tianyang Sect is more focused on observing Li Xunting.

The Li family now has one more Nascent Soul like this one. Previously, anyone who wanted to make an enemy of the Li family had to think twice. Now, they need to think carefully. Is it worth offending such a Nascent Soul cultivating family?
The battle of wits is over.

The temperature on the battlefield began to rise, and it ended with the round-faced monk admitting defeat.

Before the fight, he had never thought that he would admit defeat. He had thought that he would lose, but not in this way.

In a fight, it is important to stop at the right time. Generally speaking, after the two sides have fought for almost the same amount of time, they will tacitly stop the fight. Now the round-faced monk could not hold out for long enough, so he could only end it by admitting defeat.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." After the duel ended, Li Xunting thanked him, although her voice sounded cold.

Exercising with different Nascent Soul cultivators not only allows you to free yourself up, but also helps you improve your strength in this area.

Li Xunting gained a lot from this battle with the round-faced monk. Her gratitude was genuine. Of course, it was also because Thirteenth Grandpa told her that she must be polite when she comes to fight with him, so that there will be more opportunities like this in the future.

"Any ordinary cultivator at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage may not be a match for you, Fellow Daoist Li." The round-faced cultivator commented on Li Xunting, trying to save some face for himself.

As long as Li Xunting is strong enough, it is not a shameful thing for him to admit defeat in a fight.

“What a wonderful contest!”

While the two were being polite to each other, the leader of Tianyang Sect and Gu Jinrong had already arrived.

At this time, when the leader of Tianyang Sect wanted to say something, Gu Jinrong spoke before him.

"Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any plans to go to Xingxiu Gate in the future?" Gu Jinrong asked.

When Gu Jinrong asked this question, the leader of Tianyang Sect looked at her and said nothing. There was nothing wrong with the question itself, and it was also a question that Gu Jinrong would ask.

In fact, even if Gu Jinrong didn't ask, the leader of Tianyang Sect would have asked about this issue indirectly later.

Since Li Xunting came to fight and exchange skills, she definitely couldn't just come to their Tianyang Sect. If she just came to the Tianyang Sect, it would be a big problem.

The leader of Tianyang Sect naturally does not want such a situation to occur.

"Of course." Li Xunting nodded. Now in Fanyang Country, the three major Nascent Soul forces here have priority. As for the Ming Country, it depends on the situation. In the end, she will still go there, but it will be much later.

"Fellow Daoist Li, next time you go to Xingxiu Gate to fight and exchange skills, you can call me." Gu Jinrong said shockingly.

This time the Tianyang Sect leader spoke up, "Hahaha, our Grand Elder Gu just loves to joke around, Fellow Daoist Li, don't take it to heart."

Given the current relationship between Xingxiu Sect and Tianyang Sect, even if Tianyang Sect showed goodwill in advance and Gu Jinrong really just came to fight and exchange skills, Xingxiu Sect would still feel that there was a problem, and a big problem at that.

Based on the Tianyang Sect's understanding of Gu Jinrong, if she really fought with the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Xingxiu Sect, even if she could restrain herself in the beginning, the nature of the battle would change later on.

Li Xunting said it was nothing.

Judging from the tone of Gu Jinrong's voice, she didn't think Gu Jinrong was joking.

The Li family had no intention of getting involved in the grievances between the two Nascent Soul forces, the Tianyang Sect and the Xingxiu Sect. The fact that she brought Gu Jinrong to the Xingxiu Sect was problematic in itself.

Afterwards, under the warning look from the leader of Tianyang Sect, Gu Jinrong didn't say anything else.

After more than half an hour, Li Xunting bid farewell to the three Yuanyings of Tianyang Sect and left here to return to Liyue City.

"Gu Jinrong, you really dare to say some things!" After Li Xunting left, the leader of Tianyang Sect frowned.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinrong said disapprovingly: "The Sect Master didn't help me explain it. I was just joking."

Seeing this, the round-faced monk tried to smooth things over and change the topic to his fight with Li Xunting. "Stop talking, I think you should care about me, otherwise next time Li Xunting comes, you will find someone to fight." After the two people's eyes turned to the round-faced monk, he continued, "In the fight with Li Xunting, you may have only seen me being suppressed and not fighting back. If you were me, you would feel the pain of not being able to find any chance to fight back."

The round-faced monk was not exaggerating. After he fell into a disadvantage at the beginning of the battle, he did not have the slightest chance to fight back.

During the entire fighting process, in addition to resisting with all his might, he had been looking for such an opportunity.

"Is there really no chance at all?" Gu Jinrong felt that the round-faced monk was exaggerating.

She felt that the round-faced monk himself did not seize the opportunity and that the opportunity appeared too briefly, which was barely acceptable.

"Really! If you don't believe me, next time Li Xunting comes, it will be your turn."

At this time, the leader of Tianyang Sect answered for Gu Jinrong, "She is not suitable."

The round-faced monk also knew that Gu Jinrong was not suitable. Even if it was a battle between the Li family monks, if Gu Jinrong was there, the situation might evolve differently.

"I am very sensible in what I do." Gu Jinrong retorted.

The leader of Tianyang Sect and the round-faced monk just looked at her without saying anything.

Gu Jinrong talked with the two men for a few more sentences, and felt that their conversation was boring, so she returned to Tianyang Sect.

Now, only the leader of Tianyang Sect and the round-faced monk are left in the sky above the uninhabited area.

After Gu Jinrong left, the topic of their conversation mainly came to the attitude of Tianyang Sect towards the Li family.

"...Although I was suppressed throughout the whole fight, it was indeed a normal fight and she had no intention of provoking me." As a party involved in the fight, the round-faced monk had the deepest understanding of whether Li Xunting was really fighting with him or pretending to fight with him but was actually provoking him.

With the round-faced monk's words, the leader of Tianyang Sect couldn't help but nodded.

"I have read a lot of the information collected from the beginning of the development of the Li family to the present. Since Li Qianqing became the head of the Li family, the Li family has not suppressed the affiliated forces, nor has it taken the initiative to provoke other forces..."

The fact that they had basically never proactively provoked other forces was nothing in the eyes of the Tianyang Sect's leader. What impressed him was that the Li family did not suppress affiliated forces, which required great courage. Facts also proved that Li Qianqing's approach was correct for the Li family.

In just over three hundred years, it has grown from a Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivation Family to a Nascent Soul Immortal Cultivation Family. Such a speed of rise does not require the suppression of affiliated forces.

Among the Li family's current affiliated Jindan forces, except for one that was still a foundation-building force when it was affiliated with them, the others were originally affiliated with the Jindan forces. The number of affiliated Jindan forces in Qiqing is still less than that in Fanyang.

The reason for this, in addition to the Li family's own decision, is also due to its rapid rise.

“…The destruction of Zishan City was due to a wrong decision made by their deputy city lord.”

“Speaking of which, the Five Mountains Palace is also pretty lucky. When Li Qianqing was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they had already established contact with the Li family. Otherwise, Zishan City would have started a full-scale struggle with them. Even if they couldn’t gain the upper hand, it would have been difficult for them to fall into a disadvantage.” When the leader of the Tianyang Sect talked about Zishan City, the round-faced cultivator thought of the Five Mountains Palace.

The current relationship between Wuyue Palace and the Li family is also a guarantee for the stability of the situation in their Fanyang Kingdom.

"We should treat the Li family better." The Tianyang Sect leader first summarized, and then added, "If the Xingxiu Sect offends the Li family, it will also be an opportunity for us."

Having said that, he also knew that the possibility of this was very small. Their Tianyang Sect was collecting information on the Li family, and the same must be true for the Xingxiu Sect.

Knowing some of the characteristics of the Li family, it would be obviously unwise to take the initiative to provoke the Li family.

This time, Li Xunting came to the house just to fight and exchange skills, which can also well illustrate some characteristics of the Li family. Moreover, Li Xunting has just entered the Nascent Soul stage for ten years, and she has such a level of strength. If she is given another hundred years, her strength will definitely not be weaker than that of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

By that time, the real strength of the Li family was not the two early Nascent Soul stages that seemed to be there, but one middle Nascent Soul stage and one late Nascent Soul stage.

"By the way, when I attended Li Xunting's Nascent Soul Banquet, I could roughly feel that Li Qianqing's cultivation should be higher than mine." After a deep conversation with the leader of Tianyang Sect, the round-faced cultivator added a piece of information that was not particularly certain.

The time he spent in the early stage of Nascent Soul was longer than that of Li Qianqing.

If the early stage of Nascent Soul is divided into three stages, Li Qianqing has already entered the last stage.

“It’s not that easy to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.” Upon hearing this, the leader of Tianyang Sect couldn’t help but say.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators are stuck at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage for two to three hundred years, and some are stuck at this stage for their entire lives.

The leader of Tianyang Sect and the most likely successor to the future leader of Tianyang Sect had a long and in-depth conversation this time.

After this, their attitude towards the Li family changed a little...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-two years had passed.

Qing Kingdom, Evergreen Mountain.

Spring is the time when flowers are blooming.

In the clan leader's cave, Li Qianqing had just refined the last bit of the medicinal power of the Golden Yuan Pill.

"Finally reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage." Li Qianqing murmured after finishing his training.

After cultivating to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, he did not immediately go into seclusion to strive for the middle Nascent Soul stage, but first read some important information about the family recently.

From the time Li Xunting broke through to the Nascent Soul stage to now, the number of Qi-refining practitioners in the family finally broke through to three thousand last year.

This is barely the standard of a Nascent Soul family. Most Nascent Soul families have more than 5,000 Qi Refining cultivators. For a powerful Nascent Soul family like the Ming Dynasty royal family, the number of Qi Refining cultivators has exceeded 10,000.

The so-called majority of Nascent Soul cultivating families naturally have one or two Nascent Soul cultivators in the family. However, judging by the number of Nascent Soul cultivators, the Li family meets most of the criteria. The reason why the number of cultivators cannot keep up is that the Li family has risen too fast.

The family now has a total of eighty-nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there are still eleven short of breaking through the 100-member mark. As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, even the lowest level of a Nascent Soul cultivation family has not been reached.

Normally, there are more than a hundred foundation-building cultivators in a Nascent Soul cultivation family.

As for the Jindan cultivators, four years ago, the Li family gave birth to its first Jindan cultivator in Liyue City. At this time, the number of Jindan cultivators in the family reached nine, which did not reach the standard of the most barely qualified Yuanying cultivator family.

If Li Xunting had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and had not died, there would now be ten Jindan cultivators in the Li family. Of course, if they were just making up the numbers, it would definitely be better not to have them. (End of this chapter)
