Family cultivation: I will create a family of sword immortals

As the culmination of all the cultivation methods of the Li family, it seems that there are some things that are not sword-like images in Li Yang's small wooden flying sword over the years. But it is also these things that gradually fill the world within the small wooden flying sword. Compared with the past when one could place the image of the Tao in the small wooden flying sword during the foundation-building period, non-sword cultivators such as Liu Qianjun can place their own image of the Tao in it only during the golden elixir period.

Although they didn't know where that was, but after they had regained their Golden Core stage, they no longer needed to steal other people's Golden Cores. Both Liu Qianjun and Chu Lingxiao were delighted. Of course, Li Yang was equally delighted. After this, his understanding of the Tao would reach a higher level, and he was expected to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and reshape his body.

"If my grandfather were to go into seclusion, it would probably take quite a while. My grandmother is also trying to attain enlightenment now. Several elders in the Li family are also trying to attain enlightenment. It's a rare event." Li Xuanhuang said. In fact, when one reaches the Jindan stage, it is normal to go into seclusion for several years or even more than ten years.

It is just that it is very rare for all the members of the Li family to be in seclusion at the same time.

In recent years, Li Jiangzhu finally came into contact with the ancestor of the family. When he learned that Li Yang was still alive, he was also surprised. It was a pity that he did not practice swordsmanship, so he could not communicate directly with Li Yang. This was also a regret for him.

While the two were chatting, Li Mingxuan, who had originally gone up the mountain, came back again and said to Li Jiangzhu and the others, "Father, grandfather, the head of the Yuan family and Senior Zhou are here to visit us and want to bring the Yuan family with them to seek refuge."

Li Mingxuan could hardly suppress his excitement. The Yuan family was one of the larger families in Lingnan Road, and their coming to join him meant that the Li family and the Jingjiang Prefecture in the north would completely separate themselves and share the remaining territory of Lingnan Road.

Sixty years ago, Qin Jingwei and others announced the reconstruction of Jingjiang Prefecture in order to pacify the order in Lingnan Road. The surrounding families have continuously surrendered, and the families near the Li family, seeing that they have a strong influence over Jingjiang Prefecture, defected to the Li family.

Over the years, both sides have been fighting openly and secretly over this issue, constantly gaining territory.

Over the years, the two sides have become one of the largest forces in Lingnan Road. Apart from them, there are neutral families like the Yuan family with a rather ambiguous attitude. If the Yuan family surrenders now, it will be much easier for the Li family to take over other territories in the future.

"Please come up the mountain quickly." Li Xuanhuang said immediately.

Zhou You has a very deep friendship with the Li family, which can be traced back to the generation of Li Chengping and Li Chengtian.

Even the Li family was able to set sail thanks to Zhou You's initial arrangements, so the Li family treated Zhou You with great courtesy.

Soon Li Xuanhuang met Zhou You in the hall of Li's house.

Zhou You couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The Li family's hall is still the same as it was back then, but every time he visited the Li family, the scene was different. The Taoyuan Mountain, which was originally a barren mountain covered with peach blossoms, has now transformed into the ancestral home of the Li family where several generations and thousands of people have lived.

Moreover, these people of the Li family are stronger than the previous generation, and they almost burst out with incredible vitality. Even the immortals have gone through thousands of years of accumulation, but the Li family has only spent less than 500 years to become the behemoth that controls half of the country.

"These days are different."

Zhou You could only sigh at the various things happening to the Li family.

Also coming with him were the current head of the Yuan family and Qin Xianyun and his wife. Li Jiangzhu was naturally very happy to see these two people. It was natural for a master and disciple to exchange pleasantries when meeting.

"Meet the Li family's ancestor."

As the nominal leader of this trip, Yuan Miao saluted respectfully towards Li Xuanhuang.

Except for those who are familiar with each other, the other cultivators address each other as "Daoist Master" first, so although Yuan Miao's address was a bit incongruous, it was not too abrupt.

"Don't be polite, everyone. Please take a seat first." Li Xuanhuang said to the visitors.

"Where is young friend Chengping now?" After Zhou You sat down, he asked Li Xuanhuang.

Li Xuanhuang replied: "My uncle is now in seclusion preparing to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

When these words were spoken, Yuan Miao took a breath of cold air. He knew that the Li family had a strong foundation, but he did not expect it to be so strong that they were ready to produce a second Nascent Soul cultivator.

“You can’t refuse to admit your age. When we first met, young friend Chengping and An’er were still children who had just started practicing. Now they are about to become ancestors.” Zhou You said with emotion about Li Chengping’s progress.

Although people may call each other "ancestor", the most commonly recognized way of recognition in the world is that only those in the Nascent Soul stage are true ancestor-level figures.

"Senior Zhou's body is now full of Qi and blood, so it is not difficult for him to make further progress. However, Senior has been suppressing his own realm. If he chose to let go, he would have reached the middle and late stages a long time ago." Li Xuanhuang said with a smile, "Of course, Senior's concerns are completely unnecessary. For example, Senior Chu has already started to strive for the middle stage."

Li Xuanhuang did not state the topic explicitly, but he had already vaguely hinted at the latter.

As for whether he can grasp the meaning of it, it depends on Zhou You’s own understanding.

After all, the Yuan family and Zhou You have not yet made it clear that they will join the Li family, so there is no need for Li Xuanhuang to tell everything directly.

Zhou You was slightly startled and discovered the mystery. It was true that Chu Lingxiao had talent, but the Chu family was destroyed. If he wanted to make further progress in the golden elixir path, he would not be able to make any progress unless he had a suitable golden elixir to harvest.

Now that the Chu family has fallen on depravity, they can absolutely no longer provide golden elixirs, and the Li family will certainly not use the lives of their golden elixir cultivators as stepping stones to increase their cultivation, so the Li family definitely has a different way of practicing.

He did not say anything and continued talking with Li Xuanhuang and others, but he intentionally directed the topic to Yuan Miao and let him discuss it with Li Xuanhuang.

The main characters coming to the Li family this time should be the Yuan family.

Although Zhou You has been in the Yuan family for many years, he was mostly in the capacity of a guest official. Although he exercised great power, he was still nominally led by Yuan Miao.

"Ancestor Li, we came here today to choose to join the Li family. From now on, our Yuan family is willing to become vassal of the nobles. All the territories originally under our jurisdiction will belong to the Li family. We only hope that you can treat the people and our Yuan family members well." After Yuan Miao adjusted his words, he said respectfully to Li Xuanhuang.

His tone was sincere and his expression was humble, which was the attitude of someone looking for help when he had something to do.

"You're welcome. Our two families have been allies for nearly a hundred years. We have been supporting each other. Why do you need to do this now?" Li Xuanhuang said with a smile.

When it comes to taking advantage of others, people usually try to refuse first. The most typical example is the transfer of the throne. Even if a powerful minister usurps the throne, he still has to go through the steps of three concessions and three refusals before the whole process is completed.

Naturally, Li Xuanhuang could not show too much joy or be too direct about the Yuan family's surrender. He had to make some concessions first and then accept the situation naturally.

Yuan Miao sighed and said, "Thanks to the support and help of the nobles over the years, the Yuan family has been safe and sound until now. But now the power of Jingjiang Prefecture is getting stronger and stronger, and it has even extended its tentacles to the south. The pressure on our Yuan family is getting greater and greater. Moreover, if this continues, we can only continue to trouble the nobles for help. In this way, one plus one is definitely not equal to two or greater than two, but far less than two. It would be better for the Yuan family to completely merge with the Li family and become a retainer under the rule of the Li family in the future. This is also a happy ending for both families."
