Rebirth of the Li Family

As time went by.

After a while, Li Qiuben's Dan-forming Banquet officially began.

Li Xundi and others who were still at the foot of Changqing Mountain were about to finish their work and go up.

Normally at this time, except for Yan Xuewei who liked to be on time, there would be no cultivators participating in their Li family's Dan-forming Banquet. At this time, Qingfeng Valley had already had the Dan-forming elder Zuoqiu Lipeng, so Yan Xuewei would not come.

Even if Qingfeng Valley did not have a Dan-forming elder, Yan Xuewei, as the master of the valley, would not generally come to participate in the Dan-forming banquet of the affiliated forces.

The valley master has more power than the Dan-forming elder, but many things have become difficult for him to do himself.

"Young man of the Li family, don't rush up."

When Li Xundi just turned around and prepared to go up the mountain, he heard an old and unfamiliar voice.

Dan-forming cultivator!

Li Xundi, who felt the breath, turned back again.

He had only seen the portrait of the cultivator in front of him. This guy seemed to be Zhao Wengang of the Zhao royal family.

"So it's the senior of the royal family." Li Xundi looked at Zhao Wengang and smiled.

This was the most unexpected thing for him today. Someone from the Zhao royal family came, and it was at Li Qiuben's Dan-forming Banquet. At this time, there were only two possibilities for someone from the Zhao royal family to come. The possibility of trouble was very high.

"Yeah." Zhao Wengang nodded calmly.

However, Li Xundi's next sentence made him a little uneasy.

"It seems that our Li family didn't send an invitation to the senior, right?" Li Xundi looked at Zhao Wengang in confusion.

He dared to say this because they had already had a strategy for dealing with the Zhao royal family at the core meeting of the family's senior management. The current strategy is different from the past. In the past, they would be polite no matter what they said, but now they don't need to be polite.

If he wanted, Li Xundi could even prevent Zhao Wengang from going up the mountain, and Thirteenth Grandpa would not blame him for this.

"There was no invitation." Zhao Wengang, who was somewhat calm in his heart, still had a smile on his face.

Li Xundi's words were shocking to him. He didn't expect Li Xundi to say this directly.

You know, the Zhao royal family has not officially started to suppress the Li family. In the last incident, their royal family made corresponding concessions.

"What? Our royal family took the initiative to attend your Li family's Danjie Banquet, and your Li family is not happy?"

"Senior, look at what you said, it's not true." Li Xundi was also laughing, "Our Li family welcomes any guests, of course if you are not a guest... I think you are a guest."

"Yeah." Zhao Wengang nodded lightly, but he did not answer whether he was a guest or not, "Lead the way."

"Senior seems to have forgotten something? A basic etiquette."

Li Xundi gestured to Zhao Wengang to send a gift. There is no reason not to send a gift to attend the Danjie Banquet. It is impossible for you to come and eat for free.

"This is the intention of our royal family." The things Zhao Wengang took out were very ordinary.

If it was an affiliated Qi refining force that gave this thing, it would be very good, but the Zhao royal family is a Danjie force, so they only took out this little thing.

"Hahaha, the royal family is really 'generous', and it is comparable to the affiliated Qi-refining forces of our Li family." Li Xundi nodded as if he was satisfied, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Of course it is comparable." Zhao Wengang smiled.

"Well, please come up, senior." After saying that, Li Xundi just walked forward on his own, regardless of whether Zhao Wengang followed him behind.

Normally, a Jindan senior came, even if he was the leader, he had to walk in front of others.

Zhao Wengang looked at Li Xundi walking in front, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but he could imagine Li Xundi's behavior. After all, at the beginning, this Li Xundi didn't intend to talk to him properly.

Zhao Wengang's initial plan was to pretend, but seeing Li Xundi's attitude, it was no longer necessary to pretend.

No words along the way.

Li Xundi took Zhao Wengang up the mountain like this.

Li Xundi, who came at this time, also brought a cultivator, who was also a Jindan stage cultivator, and quickly attracted the attention of the cultivators present at the Jindan banquet.

Most of the foundation-building cultivators from the foundation-building forces could recognize Zhao Wengang as a cultivator from the Zhao royal family at first sight.

"Fellow Daoist He, am I seeing right? This is a Jindan cultivator from the Zhao royal family, take a look."

"It's really from the Zhao royal family... I didn't expect them to send people to participate in the Jindan banquet held by the Li family."

"I don't know if it's good or bad for them?"

"In my opinion, it's probably not a good thing. The Li family, which has been getting stronger, is not a good thing for the Zhao royal family."

Some foundation-building cultivators have begun to communicate with each other through spiritual power when seeing this situation.

And looking at the positions of Li Xundi and this Jindan cultivator from the Zhao royal family, there is also a problem. Li Xundi actually arrived there first. From the perspective of etiquette, this is not a friendly reminder.

"Another Jindan cultivator, but I don't think I've seen this one before. Have you seen one?"

"No."

"I don't know either, but there are also fourteen Jindan forces in our Zhao Kingdom's cultivation world. He can only be from one of them..."

Compared to the foundation-building cultivators of the foundation-building forces, there are not many Qi-refining cultivators of the Li family's affiliated Qi-refining forces who know that Zhao Wengang is a member of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family and a Jindan cultivator.

They have never seen him, nor have they seen his portrait. For the Qi-refining forces, the overall level they have come into contact with is still too low.

If they hadn't come to the Li family to attend the Jindan banquet, many of them would never have seen a Jindan cultivator in their lives.

The foundation-building cultivators communicated with each other through spiritual power to avoid being overheard. The Qi-refining cultivators whispered among themselves, but they were just curious about the visitor and did not say anything bad, nor did they worry that others would hear their words.

Moreover, they knew very well that their insignificant weight would not attract the attention of the Jindan cultivators.

When Li Xunyi brought Zhao Wengang up to the place where the Jindan cultivators gathered, he looked over at the first time.

There were a total of eight Jindan cultivators here, half of whom were from the Li family. Li Xunming, who was stationed in Weishui County, would definitely come back to participate in the family's Jindan banquet unless there were very special circumstances. If it was a foundation-building banquet, he would most likely still be in Weishui County.

The other four were Zuo Qiu Lipeng from Qingfeng Valley, Wei Gongshi from Longhui Wei Family, Fang Mingchang from Xiayong Fang Family, and Zhang Jinling from Qiuhe Zhang Family.

The Wei and Fang families, like the Li family, were all affiliated forces of the Tianhe Sect, but the Zhang family in Qiuhe County was different.

Qiuhe County is the sphere of influence of Tianchuan Mountain, and the Zhang family is a subsidiary of Tianchuan Mountain. Li Qiuben's Jindan Banquet did not invite the cultivators of the Qiuhe Zhang family. Like the Xinyue Shen family, they all came here on their own initiative.

The Zhang family, which has two Jindan cultivators, sent Jindan cultivators here even though they are far away from the Li family, which means they want to make friends with the Li family.

Among the three affiliated Jindan cultivation families of Tianchuan Mountain, the Qiuhe Zhang family has the best reputation. Like the Li family, they pay great attention to the reputation of the family.

Fang Ming often sees Zhao Wengang of the Zhao royal family, and he is the first to have an idea in his mind. He thinks the good show is about to begin.

The Zhao royal family chose to let a Jindan cultivator come here at this time. It is impossible that they really came here. They just came here to attend Li Qiuben's Jindan Banquet to congratulate Li Qiuben.

These Jindan cultivation families have a general impression of the Zhao royal family, especially after the Zhao royal family cooperated with the Tianhe Sect and finally sold the Tianhe Sect directly.

Of course, the Zhao royal family is very powerful, and they don't particularly care about the opinions of these Jindan cultivation families. Even if they want to find a partner, they will not be a Jindan cultivation family with only one or two Jindan cultivators.

On the other side, when Zhao Wengang came up and saw eight Jindan cultivators.

Especially when he saw the Jindan elders of Qingfeng Valley, the situation was different from what he thought.

He came to the Li family to attend the Jindan banquet, and there was another mission, which was to see how many Jindan cultivators came to the Li family's Jindan banquet.

Only look at the Jindan cultivators, not the Jindan forces.

A Jindan force normally sends a foundation-building cultivator to participate in the Jindan banquet. It doesn't think that it must make friends with the Li family, but it doesn't want to make enemies with the Li family, and sends a Jindan cultivator to try to make friends.

The elder who came from Qingfeng Valley was not a foundation-building elder, but a Jindan elder, which made Zhao Wengang a little confused, and this person was Zuoqiu Lipeng.

According to the news, Zuoqiu Lipeng came to fight with the Li family cultivators. There are various reasons for the rumors. Their royal family is more inclined to believe that there should be some contradictions between the two, but not a big one, otherwise they would not choose to solve it by fighting.

After the problem was solved, did Zuoqiu Lipeng think that the Li family was good?

Even so, he came to participate in the Li family's Dan-forming Banquet, and the head of Qingfeng Valley must know it.

Facing the Li family with four Dan-forming, Zhao Wengang didn't quite understand why Qingfeng Valley still did this... You know, once the Li family develops, it will also be a threat to them. When the strength of the subsidiary forces exceeds the main force, then the main force will be a joke.

Zuoqiu Lipeng's purpose of coming here is the same as mine?

Soon, Zhao Wengang thought of this possibility. If so, it really makes sense.

The situation is not certain now. He can try Zuoqiu Lipeng's attitude later.

In less than half a breath, Zhao Wengang thought a lot.

About a breath later, the head of the Li family came to him.

"So you're a fellow Taoist from the royal family, really rare." Li Qianqing smiled at Zhao Wengang in front of him.

He was at the peak of the early stage of Jindan, and it seemed that he had failed to break through once.

In a moment, Li Qianqing could tell from Zhao Wengang's breath that he had not tried to break through to the middle stage of Jindan, but had broken through several times.

Among Jindan cultivators, there are also many cultivators who are stuck at the peak of the early stage of Jindan and cannot make any progress in their lives.

"Hahaha, Patriarch Li, isn't that what we see?" Zhao Wengang also smiled, and then he immediately said, "Everyone who comes is a guest, and the hospitality of Patriarch Li's family still needs to be improved."

Zhao Wengang said this, obviously dissatisfied with Li Xundi's reception of him below, that is, not treating him as a guest.

"The visitor is not necessarily a guest. The so-called hospitality requires that the other party must be a guest." Li Qianqing looked at Zhao Wengang like this, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you think I am right?"

At the moment when Li Qianqing finished speaking, looking at Li Qianqing's seemingly harmless eyes, he didn't know why his hair stood up.

Zhao Wengang felt fear.

As a Jindan cultivator, and one who has been in Jindan for more than a hundred years, he is very confident in his feelings.

He felt that Li Qianqing was in danger now, and that should be real danger. The opponent was only in the middle stage of Jindan, which would not normally make him feel this way, unless the opponent was really as rumored, not an ordinary Jindan cultivator. He, who was in the middle stage of Jindan, might have the strength of the late stage of Jindan.

The rumors were all very false. At this moment, Zhao Wengang felt that he had personally verified the news.

"Yes." Zhao Wengang nodded involuntarily.

Zhao Wengang was very surprised about his current behavior. In his heart, he was unwilling to admit that he was acting from the heart.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhao also understands." Li Qianqing retracted his gaze and smiled again, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please come in."

Li Qianqing walked in front, and Zhao Wengang followed behind.

He was absent-minded.

He was thinking that if Li Qianqing's strength really reached the level of the late stage of Jindan, then the current Li family would be more difficult to deal with than the previous Tianhe Sect. If they really wanted to destroy them, they would have to pay a huge price.

The Zhao royal family still likes to make the smallest effort and do the biggest things, so if they can cooperate with Qingfeng Valley again, it would naturally be the best.

Li Xunyi looked at Zhao Wengang's back strangely.

He wondered if he had just heard it wrong. What Thirteenth Grandpa said, Zhao Wengang actually nodded in agreement. Doesn't this mean that Zhao Wengang admitted that he was not a guest.

'It seems that Thirteenth Grandpa didn't do anything to him just now. ’

Li Xundi, who couldn’t figure it out, didn’t think about this problem. The Jindan Banquet was about to begin. Judging from Zhao Wengang’s behavior just now, he shouldn’t do anything out of line at this Jindan Banquet.

Li Qiuben’s Jindan Banquet officially began. Li Qianqing, the patriarch of the family, presided over the banquet. After saying some polite words, Li Qiuben also said a few words.

Compared with what Li Qianqing said, Li Qiuben’s words were more formal, as if he was reciting the whole text, without any impromptu changes.

After a simple contact, the non-family Jindan cultivators present all found that Li Qiuben, the Jindan cultivator of the Li family, was really quiet. If you don’t take the initiative to talk to him, he won’t talk.

As time went on, the host of this Jindan Banquet was noticed less and less.

“Elder Zuoqiu, how did you have time to come to the Li family to attend the Jindan Banquet this time?” Zhao Wengang asked. He didn’t speak, but used spiritual power to transmit the sound.

However, at this moment, he found that Li Qianqing glanced at him and smiled at him.

Was he discovered?

Zhao Wengang was a little nervous. Spiritual power transmission is usually more hidden. Li Qianqing could actually notice it directly, which means that he may have practiced some special secrets or special skills.

Li Qianqing's previous adventures, according to the information investigated by the Zhao royal family, he got a lot of good things.

"Does Brother Zhao have any opinions about me?" Unlike Zhao Wengang's spiritual power transmission, Zuoqiu Lipeng spoke directly.

His opening attracted the attention of all the Jindan cultivators present. (End of this chapter)
