[On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the 31st year of the Li family, Qin Pingyun, wife of Duke Chengtian, gave birth to a son, named Xuanhuang. 】

Li Jinli put pen to paper on the family history, and then closed the book with satisfaction.

Since she was assigned to write a family history, she has also learned a lot of secret things, which also means that she will not be able to marry outside the family in this life, and can only find a man to marry into her family. It is a pity that someone is still not aware of it and has not expressed his thoughts for a long time. .

"I never thought that that little kid back then would already have an heir. Xu Yan, Xu Yan, if you don't wake up, I will become an old girl." Li Jinli sighed, and then vented his anger on a small clay figurine on the table. , and after a while he put it down and continued writing on another family history.

Li Chengtian has been immersed in joy these days. The birth of his son Li Xuanhuang means that the Li family is now beginning to completely blossom.

At this time, Li Chengping returned to Taoyuan Mountain from Tingxi City and saw Li Chengtian with a smile on his face. He knew that he was the joy of becoming a father for the first time, so he did not spoil it.

"Brother Tian, ​​I want to take out 400,000 spirit stones from the family treasury." Li Chengping stated his purpose straightforwardly.

Li Chengtian was surprised. Four hundred thousand spiritual stones was not a small amount. Since the Li family annexed all the inventory of the Zhao family and sold the remaining ores from the spiritual iron mine, the inventory of spiritual stones has only just reached five hundred thousand.

Now that Li Chengping had to spend such a large amount of spiritual stones, almost taking out 80% of the Li family's inventory, he had to be surprised. Of course, he would not doubt that Li Chengping wanted to swallow these spiritual stones or use them as elsewhere.

Li Chengping explained: "Auntie is now close to the edge of the golden elixir. She has been suppressing her cultivation for the sake of the family. Now I feel that there are enough spiritual stones circulating in the family. I can take out part of the inventory and purchase the golden elixir. If If my aunt breaks through the golden elixir, then the entire Tongye Lake will be within easy reach of my Li family."

Hearing this, Li Chengtian nodded and asked, "But the price has been negotiated?"

Li Chengping said: "I went to Jingjiang Fucheng before and negotiated the price with the elders of Lingbao Pavilion. The price was 480,000 yuan. We can advance 380,000 soul stones and the remaining 100,000 yuan." , and will make up for it at a price of 50,000 yuan per year in the future, which can be regarded as a good relationship between their Lingbao Pavilion and our Li family."

If Li Chengping wants to buy a golden elixir, he will naturally not buy a low-grade golden elixir, but he can at most buy a medium-grade golden elixir.

Lingbao Pavilion is a large force with a chain of stores in the world of immortal cultivation. Although it is not as large as the three sects and seven sects, its strength cannot be underestimated. After all, cultivation resources also need to be circulated, and the reputation of Lingbao Pavilion is in the cultivation world. In the fairy world, there are guarantees.

"That's good. Later you go to the warehouse to take out the spirit stones. Don't let mother know about this first, otherwise she won't agree." Li Chengtian continued: "I mentioned this matter to her before, but she vetoed it. , saying that he did not want to step into the realm of the golden elixir, and when asked why, he never told me."

Li Chengtian was helpless. Originally, there was an extra golden elixir monk in the family who could dominate Tongye Lake, but Cai Yanzhi did not agree to purchase the golden elixir for the spiritual stones in the treasury anyway.

"I will just start doing this. When the time comes we will buy back the golden elixir, and my aunt will have nothing to say." Li Chengping said with a smile.

Then he continued: "People from the Lu family have come to Tingxi City several times to talk about marrying you. Now you have to see if you want to meet them."

Li Chengtian was silent. The marriage between the Lu and Li families could indeed avoid some unnecessary disputes. Moreover, the Lu family has recently moved its layout away from Tongye Lake to show its sincerity. If the Li family shied away many times, it would be a bit unkind. .

The Li family was bound to win the territory of Tongye Lake, and the Lu family originally set Tongye Lake as their goal. However, after the rise of the Li family, the Li family was unwilling to fight with the Li family and chose to abandon Tongye Lake. Turning in another direction, wanting to achieve a win-win situation, they later prepared to use marriage to ease the relationship between the two parties.

Li Chengtian said: "Then I will go to Tingxi City to meet with the Lu family in two days, and we should also show our sincerity."

……

Tingxi City.

Li Chengtian and Lu Xingchi met for the second time.

"It's like meeting the head of the Li family." Lu Xingchi said with a smile.

Li Chengtian smiled and said: "With a small family, we have to do everything by ourselves. I am troubled by everything and cannot escape. I hope Master Lu will forgive me."

"Then we should have more heirs. At Li Xiaoyou's age now, he should leave some heirs to help share the burden. Moreover, with the current size of the Li family, the number of people in the main line is still too small." Lu Xingchi said quickly, The words kept coming, and all the meanings were related to marriage.

In fact, both of them knew the main reason for this meeting, but neither of them said it clearly.

Li Chengtian said: "To be honest, my wife just gave birth to a son a few days ago. It will be more than ten years before we can share the worries."

"How can one be enough? Although people who practice Taoism are pure-hearted, the family's incense needs to be passed down. Otherwise, the huge family foundation will be wasted in vain. For example, there are four concubines and more than ten children. Li Xiaoyou Now it's time to spread the branches." Lu Xingchi said: "I have a little sister at home. Although she is a little older than Li Xiaoyou, she is not married yet. However, she and Li Xiaoyou can get married. It doesn't matter if I have a concubine, you and me. The two families will be neighbors from now on. With this relationship, when it comes to expansion, we will have a backbone..."

The two of them talked for so long, and Lu Xingchi finally revealed his purpose.

Li Chengtian said: "Master Lu, you and I are honest and sincere. We are all convinced. From now on, there is really no possibility of conflict between you and me?"

Li Chengtian would definitely not agree to his words easily. After all, the two families had had a lot of friction before, but finally gave up because the Li family's trump card appeared.

Lu Xingchi sighed: "To be honest, when your father was still cultivating, we did have the intention of swallowing up the Zhao family first and then annexing the Li family. However, later the nobles destroyed the Zhao family. With such strength, our Lu family cannot We are willing to provoke, and our court is not far away from the realm of Jindan. We don’t want to leave a bad impression. It is better to give in in advance. If Jindan monks really appear in the future, considering today’s situation, the Li family will also We won’t kill them all.”

Lu Xingchi's expression was sincere, and Li Chengtian kept observing and found that there was no possibility of the other party lying.

Then he nodded and agreed.

"In this case, Li is willing to take in the Lu family's daughter, but only as a concubine. Any children born in the future will also be bastards." Li Chengtian said.

"As it should be."
