Rebirth of the Li Family

Two years ago, he had taken Li Qiuyun, who had cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining, to the place. At that time, he also understood Li Qiuyun's talent for beast control more.

Now, the family's mid-stage first-level monsters are basically handed over to Li Qiuyun for training. After Li Changfeng entered the late stage of Qi Refining, Li Xingsheng wanted her to directly train the first-level late-stage monsters. He believed that this was possible for Li Changfeng.

The value of a beastmaster comes from monsters. Li Xingsheng has a second-level mutant gold-eating rat.

Dangdang is the value that Shushu brings to him, which is incomparable to many beastmasters at the Jindan level. If the beastmasters in the family want to create greater value than him, they basically have to break through to the Jindan stage first.

It's just a beastmaster in the foundation-building stage. Even if he is at the peak of the foundation-building stage, he can't bring more contribution than Li Xingsheng, unless this beastmaster can also encounter monsters like the mutant gold-eating rat.

"Chiji."

After walking for a while, Shushu suddenly called Li Xingsheng twice.

"I found a metal spirit mine. Where is it?" Li Xingsheng asked immediately after hearing this.

Li Xingsheng was very happy every time he found a metal spiritual mine. The more spiritual mines the family had, the more opportunities the family could gain every year.

"Chiji."

Shushu called twice again, and then got off Li Xingsheng's shoulder. The next moment, Shushu's figure appeared about ten feet in front of Li Xingsheng.

Shushu, standing on a piece of grass, called once and pointed down, indicating that the metal spiritual mine was just below.

"Here we go."

When he searched roughly before, Shushu would take him a hundred feet away after finding the metal spiritual mine.

Careful search is indeed different from rough search. When you are unlucky in rough search, you will miss many metal spiritual mines.

"You have to be so close to sense the metal spiritual mine below, which means that this metal spiritual mine is very below."

"Chiji."

"Well." Li Xingsheng nodded, "I'll go call someone now."

As he said that, Li Xingsheng took out a sound transmission talisman, recorded the information in it, and the sound transmission talisman turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Next, Li Xingsheng and Shushu just had to wait here.

Less than two hours had passed before Li Xingsheng saw Li Xingwei flying towards him from a distance.

"Brother Seventeen." Li Xingwei landed in front of Li Xingsheng.

After Li Xingwei, who had four spiritual roots, broke through to the foundation-building stage, he practiced earth-attributed techniques. Naturally, the spiritual techniques he practiced were mainly earth-attributed, so the task of digging for metal spiritual mines naturally fell on Li Xingwei.

"Xingwei, the metal spiritual mine is right below, you just need to dig down." Li Xingsheng pointed to the land.

"Okay."

After Li Xingsheng and Shushu went aside, Li Xingwei began his digging.

Li Xingwei pressed his right hand on the ground and injected earth spiritual power into it. Soon, regular pieces of soil separated from the ground and fell to the surroundings.

After practicing the corresponding earth-attributed techniques, cultivators at the foundation-building level have good digging abilities. If they are combined with some spiritual techniques, the digging and mining work will only be faster.

Not long after, a large hole appeared below where Li Xingsheng had just pointed, with a high pile of soil next to it.

The foundation-building cultivators can fly in the air, and it is very convenient to go up and down, unlike the Qi-refining cultivators. When digging to a place slightly lower, they have to spend a lot of effort to carry the soil up.

Li Xingwei was digging, and Li Xingsheng and Shushu had no intention of leaving.

Li Xingsheng wanted to see what the metal spirit mine Shushu had discovered this time was like. At the beginning of the excavation, there was no need to pave the surrounding roads to facilitate the cultivators who would mine the metal spirit mine later, as well as some mortal warriors of the family.

At the beginning, the foundation-building cultivators had the ability to dig to the bottom to see what was going on.

As time went by, there were more and more soil around the cave entrance.

"Brother Seventeen, it's done." Li Xingwei's voice came from the bottom of the cave.

Soon he flew up as well.

"I'll go down and take a look."

"There is a spirit stone mine below. I can't judge the specific size, but it should be a small spirit mine." Li Xingwei talked about his discovery next to Li Xingsheng. He was only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and his spiritual awareness was just so-so.

Li Xingsheng is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and his divine sense can detect a much larger range than him.

"Hahaha, the spirit stone mine is definitely useful!" Li Xingsheng was very happy to hear that it was a spirit stone mine. If it was other metal spirit mines, some metal spirit mines would not be very useful to the Li family at this stage.

While they were talking, they had already come underground, and the spirit stone mine was on their left.

Li Xingsheng opened his divine sense to check the situation of the spirit stone mine.

"Seventeenth brother, how is it?" Li Xingwei was asking about the spirit stone mine. He could only roughly judge that this spirit stone mine was a small spirit mine. Li Xingsheng, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, should be able to make a specific judgment.

"It's a small spiritual mine, but it's still quite large." Li Xingsheng couldn't find all the information about the spiritual stone mine with his divine sense, but based on the known information he found, he could draw a conclusion, "This small spiritual stone mine can be mined for at least 500 years under normal conditions, and can bring the family 4,000 to 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year..."

When a family of immortal cultivators discovers a metal spiritual mine, they will choose to mine it normally, because the overall profit is the highest. If it is over-mined, it will gain a lot of profit in the short term, but it is very unprofitable in the long run.

For this small spiritual stone mine, the Li family naturally mined it normally to maximize the benefits. If the current Li family is in a special period, the situation may change.

"Brother Seventeen, you are lucky this time!" Li Xingwei said with a smile. The better the metal spiritual mine found by the mutant gold-eating rat, the more family contribution points Li Xingsheng will get later.

Li Xingsheng smiled back, "It should be our family's good luck."

"That's right." Li Xingwei nodded in agreement, and then said, "Brother Seventeen, you should explore other places first, and leave this place to me. After that, I will pave the way down, and let the family's cultivators come to guard it, and the mortal warriors come to mine."

"Okay."

After knowing the situation of this small spiritual stone mine and satisfying his curiosity, Li Xingsheng took the rat away.

Next, Li Xingwei will build a road from top to bottom here. Compared with digging directly downwards, the next thing to do will undoubtedly take more time and energy.

After completing this task, he can get the corresponding contribution points.

After that, the work of mining spiritual mines was basically handed over to the mortal warriors of the family. The cultivators of the family in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining might also come to mine spiritual mines according to some changes in the situation, while the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining basically came to guard the work, and also to prevent any accidents from happening to the mortal warriors of the family when mining spiritual mines.

…

The end of March in the fifth year of the sixty-first year of the Zhao calendar.

Li Xunting, who had originally guarded Changlin Mountain, returned to Changqing Mountain. This time she came back not because the family held a core high-level meeting, but because the clan leader Li Qianqing called her back alone.

"Grandpa Thirteen." After entering the clan leader's cave, Li Xunting immediately called out.

"Well, Xunting is back."

"Grandpa Thirteen, what's the matter with calling me back this time?"

After the stone door of the cave was closed, Li Xunting sat next to Li Qianqing, holding his arm, and asked happily. In front of the clan members, she was a dignified and reliable elder in the foundation-building period, and in private, she was still Li Qianqing's caring granddaughter.

"The Four Sects Trial will begin next month, and I need you to go there."

This is what Li Qianqing wants to tell Li Xunting to go back to Changqing Mountain. He thought about it for a long time and still felt that Li Xunting was the most suitable candidate. If he had not yet formed a pill, then he would be the most suitable candidate.

Li Xunting participated in the last Four Sects Trial, which was an important reason why she became the most suitable candidate.

"I have to help Qingfeng Valley." Li Xunting was a little confused and shook Li Qianqing's arm.

She was familiar with the Four Sects Trial. Now she was a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. If she wanted to participate in the Four Sects Trial, she would replace a late-stage foundation-building elder in Qingfeng Valley. Only two late-stage foundation-building cultivators were needed. With the strength of Qingfeng Valley, it should not be possible to gather even these few people.

"No." Li Qianqing shook his head. His eldest granddaughter was very strong, but the two senior elders in the late-stage foundation-building sent by Qingfeng Valley were also strong. Among these two senior elders, it is very likely that the next Jindan cultivator of Qingfeng Valley would be born.

"Qingfeng Valley has already had a candidate. I'll ask you to go there mainly to pay attention to the situation of Tianhe Sect."

"Tianhe Sect..." Li Xunting muttered, and at the same time recalled a meeting of the core high-level members of the family more than 20 years ago.

At that meeting, Thirteenth Grandfather briefly mentioned Tianhe Sect, saying that there might be problems with Tianhe Sect in the future.

Once the Tianhe Sect, a Jindan Sect, has an abnormality, it will affect the situation of the entire Zhao State.

"I understand, Thirteenth Grandfather." Li Xunting nodded, and then asked, "What should I do in the Four Sects Trial?"

Li Qianqing touched Li Xunting's head. It was still the same as before. Li Xunting was still so well-behaved and sensible. She has never changed in this regard.

Li Xunting enjoys spending time with Thirteenth Grandfather. For her, the closest person in the world is Thirteenth Grandfather. In the past, there was also a mother, but her mother was just an ordinary mortal.

When she went back to see her mother, she would bring some spiritual medicines to strengthen her body and nourish her essence, but this would only allow her mother to live to her early nineties. Among mortals, those who can live to this age are basically protected and cared for by monks.

"During the Four Sects Trial, you should focus on observing the performance of the Tianhe Sect cultivators, especially the foundation-building cultivators... Finally, we need to see the achievements of the Tianhe Sect in this Four Sects Trial."

The last point is particularly important, but even if Li Xunting does not go to the Four Sects Trial, he can get the news quickly after the Four Sects Trial is over.

The focus of the task given to Li Xunting is still on observation. With this information, he can also speculate on the next move of the Tianhe Sect and what their family needs to do.

Before making a decision, the more information the better, there is no doubt about it.

Li Xunting nodded while listening.

She has kept these things in mind.

After half a day, she left the clan leader's cave and left Changqing Mountain to Qingfeng Valley.

Li Qianqing had already made arrangements for the Qingfeng Valley. Because Yan Xuewei was leading the Four Sects Trial this time, it was easy for Li Qianqing to let Li Xunting join the Qingfeng Valley team.

…

A huge spirit ship was flying in the sky.

This is the spirit ship of Qingfeng Valley, and it is on the way to the four sects' trial site.

Li Xunting stood on the deck of the spirit ship, looking into the distance, and she was a little fascinated by the scenery at dusk.

"Fellow Daoist Xunting, excuse me, what are you thinking about?" A long-faced man in white appeared next to Li Xunting.

The man's surname is Zuoqiu, and his given name is Lipeng. He is a senior elder in the late stage of foundation building in Qingfeng Valley, and he is also one of the foundation building cultivators who participated in the four sects' trial in Qingfeng Valley this time.

"Nothing." Li Xunting glanced at Zuoqiu Lipeng, and quickly retracted her gaze, "Fellow Daoist Zuoqiu, aren't you going to rest now?"

"I feel a little lonely, and I need the company of a beautiful woman." Zuoqiu Lipeng smiled with what he thought was a confident smile.

He said this more directly, that is, he was interested in Li Xunting.

When he saw Li Xunting for the first time, he was a little moved, and then after asking around, he knew that Li Xunting was a cultivator of the Xiangshui Li family, and that Li Xunting had no husband, so he started to act.

At the beginning, he didn't express himself directly enough, and Li Xunting didn't pay much attention to him. After realizing that there was a problem with his expression, he continued to correct it, and then there was the current scene.

The beautiful scenery in front of him, Zuoqiu Lipeng felt that it was still quite suitable to say these words.

Li Xunting's eyes fell on Zuoqiu Lipeng again, and after a few glances, she said, "Fellow Daoist Zuoqiu, do you want to marry into our Li family?"

Faced with Zuoqiu Lipeng's expression of his feelings, Li Xunting was frank.

If the Li family was still a foundation-building family, Li Xunting would not have the confidence to say this, but it was different for a Jindan family.

It is difficult for a foundation-building cultivator from a Jindan force to marry a foundation-building cultivator from another Jindan force, unless the former becomes a wife, the latter will consider it.

"This..." Zuoqiu Lipeng hesitated a little and answered, "I have no idea at the moment."

"Then put your thoughts away." Li Xunting did not continue to look at Zuoqiu Lipeng.

Grandpa Thirteen taught them that if they met a male cultivator they liked, they should try to let him marry into the Li family as a cultivator.

Li Xunting had no feelings for Zuoqiu Lipeng. She was just using this to dissuade Zuoqiu Lipeng. A senior elder of Qingfeng Valley would never marry into their Li family. Even if Zuoqiu Lipeng had this idea, Qingfeng Valley would not agree.

"Xunting, after I succeed in forming a pill, I will go to the Li family to find you." Facing Li Xunting's attitude, Zuoqiu Lipeng expressed his determination.

It might be difficult for a late foundation-building cultivator to marry a female cultivator of the Li family, but it was different for a Qingfeng Valley elder who formed a pill. He believed that the current patriarch of the Li family would not refuse to befriend another elder who formed a pill.

"Oh." Li Xunting looked at Zuoqiu Lipeng unexpectedly. Forming a pill was not an easy thing, but she still had no idea about Zuoqiu Lipeng's determination. "If you really form a pill, you have to defeat my Thirteenth Grandfather to marry me." (End of this chapter)
