At this moment, the surroundings were dark, and it was obvious that they were still under the shroud of the formation.
Regarding the family golden elixir in front of him, Li Qiao judged it from the strength of the other's consciousness through the encounter between the two.
After a brief conversation, Li Qiao asked the question he was most concerned about. Originally, he planned to settle down temporarily and learn more about the situation of the main clan. After all, he was still some way away from completing the foundation building. There is no rush.
But at this moment, I heard that two foundation builders had arrived earlier than me, so my matter should have a result.
"Say it!" Li Yuming uttered two words softly first, then looked at Li Qiao's expression before continuing: "The situation is special, and the family doesn't care about it. It has been recorded!"
In fact, the news brought by the two foundation builders is very detailed. Even Li Qiao has recorded that he is a dual practitioner of foundation builder. For a monk like him, it is very difficult to advance to the golden elixir, and it can even be said that there is little hope. Before the golden elixir stage, these The technique is worthless once you know it, so basically no one cares too much about it.
If this happens to a monk who is about to be promoted to the Golden Core, the family will never let him go so lightly. At the end of the day, the monk who has obtained the skill will have to make up part of the resources.
Li Qiao had finally asked the right person. Li Yuming was one of the several Jindan monks who were specially responsible for receiving those who came from other parts of the family, so he knew the situation of some side sects very well.
"Since you're here, I'll take you to get a jade identity card first."
"It all depends on the arrangements of the elders!"
Soon Li Yuming took Li Qiao to the side passage, and soon after, they left here through the teleportation array.
The place where the status jade plaque is issued is in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, which is a large hall. At the entrance of the hall, the figures of three monks are constantly displayed in the air through the photo stones.
Two men and one woman, the overall figure and appearance are very clear. If these three people have outstanding grace, Li Qiao did not feel it, but because they are just shadows, he cannot feel their strength, but he can put them in front of them. There should be something different here, right?
I don't know if he sensed Li Qiao's doubts, but Li Yuming said to him: "Don't worry, you will know after a while."
There was a Jindan elder who led the way, and everything went smoothly.
In addition to receiving a jade identity card, I also received a jade slip called Family Instructions, which roughly introduced some information about the family, as well as portraits of some family monks, and what were the three figures at the door? Li Qiao also figured it out and left a copy for him using the image stone.
It turns out that for family monks like them who have returned from abroad, in order to let the monks in the clan know as soon as possible, the images will be kept and displayed in places where family monks often appear, such as the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and the Kung Fu Hall.
According to Jindan monk Li Yuming: "There are many monks in the family. The main clan alone has more than two thousand monks in total. They have hundreds of foundations and dozens of golden elixirs. They all have things to be busy with. If there is nothing special, For important matters, we will not gather together. This method allows the monks who have returned from abroad to quickly become familiar with each other."
In fact, there is another reason for doing this, which Li Yuming did not mention, and that is that the monks who have returned from abroad have basically completed the foundation building and want to advance to the golden elixir. Placing them in these obvious places also has the purpose of motivating the family monks, because Li Qiao was not such a monk, so Li Yuming didn't talk about it.
Moreover, most of the monks who returned from abroad came here to advance to the golden elixir. After arriving, most of them practiced in seclusion and rarely interacted with others. This was a disguised form of making the family monks familiar with them.
"Within the family, the identity jade plaque must be carried outside and cannot be placed in the storage bag. In addition to proving the identity of your family monk, it can also convey some simple messages..." A family foundation-building monk said to When explaining the function of the identity jade token, Li Qiao found that one of the images at the door of the hall turned into his appearance in an instant, and the efficiency was not unusually fast.
After getting the jade identity card, Li Yuming did not leave directly, but took him to his cave again.
"The family does not give any preferential treatment to family monks like you who have arrived before you have reached foundation building perfection. Now that you are here, what are your plans?" Li Yuming said directly.
asked straight to the point.
"Of course I will practice hard and then try the golden elixir." Li Qiao said matter-of-factly.
Such an answer seems a little stubborn to Li Yuming. In his eyes, there is basically no hope of being promoted to the golden elixir through dual cultivation of foundation building. Moreover, looking at Li Qiao's current appearance, he has just reached the middle stage of foundation building and is far from the completion of foundation building. There is still a long way to go.
You must know that when he said there was no preferential treatment, it was true that there was no preferential treatment. Otherwise, all the monks from the side line would come back and the family would not be able to support them. At this moment, the number of monks the family can maintain has basically reached the maximum level. As for Li Qiao himself Li Yuming had never thought about having resources and being able to exchange them for cultivation elixirs all the time.
Generally speaking, it is good if a family branch can come back from a distant place without consuming some resources along the way. If you really want to accumulate some resources, it is really difficult without some extraordinary luck.
Rogue cultivators have little luck, and if they want to move other family monks or sect monks, it is a question whether they can all come back. It is not that there have been some powerful foundation-building monks, but it is obvious that Li Qiao has not reached this level. It is unlikely that the foundation building will be complete.
It has happened before that monks like Li Qiao came to the family in advance before they had reached the foundation-building perfection, but many of them went out for a short time and then went out to explore. Some people finally came back to try to advance to the golden elixir, and some died outside. For those who have difficulty with this kind of golden elixir, sometimes they will give some advice, such as at this moment.
"If I remember correctly, you are building a foundation through dual cultivation." Li Yuming said softly.
"...Yes." Li Qiao thought about confessing now, but gave up the idea in an instant.
Whether it is dual cultivation foundation building or his current cultivation situation, it is not an orthodox cultivation method. It is possible that some problems will lead to various side paths in the middle. Moreover, he does not even have a suitable specific cultivation method, and there is no way at all. I'm worried about being discovered, and if I say it now, it's hard to explain.
Seeing Li Qiao's appearance, Li Yuming didn't think much, but thought that the other party rarely faced his true situation.
"Then you should know that it is much more difficult than ordinary monks to advance to the Golden Elixir."
"I know that the reason why I came to the family in advance is to read more experience records of the family's seniors who were promoted to Jindan, and to find a suitable promotion method for me." At this moment, when he said these words, Li Qiao's tone and expression were very... He is serious and seems to have a light in his eyes, all of which show his determination to advance to Jindan.
Seeing Li Qiao like this, Li Yuming sighed inwardly. For monks from this kind of family who basically have no hope of advancing to Jindan, there is a good way to deal with family comparisons, which is to form Taoist companions with some monks from other families. , strengthen the ties between the two families.
Whether a foundation-building monk is important to the family does not depend on the strength of the foundation-building monk, and how strong a foundation-building monk can be, but on the timing. If a war breaks out in the family, a large number of foundation-building monks will be needed. There is no doubt that foundation-building monks are important.
But if any cultivating family wants to develop well, it will not fight often. Therefore, after the number of monks it can support reaches its limit, it is also good to strengthen some allies. In such a dangerous world of cultivating immortals, a small force like the cultivating family wants to To survive well, to a certain extent, we need to stick together.
If Li Qiao himself expressed some despair about being promoted to the Golden Elixir, then Li Yuming might suggest that Li Qiao become a Taoist couple with monks from other families, whether he stays or goes to the other family, but at this moment, the other person's eyes are He was firm and let him know that the other party would not agree with his suggestion, but he still tried to ask: "So if you want to practice hard, have you found a suitable double cultivator?"
Two monks? Hearing these words, Li Qiao knew that the other party had misunderstood. He did not want to continue to try to advance to Jindan in the name of dual cultivation. Moreover, the word Taoist couple also made him understand the meaning of marriage with other immortal cultivating families. .
Marriage is not allowed. Before I came to the main clan, I also learned some news that I didn’t know before. Generally, marriages are ordinary marriages and there are no restrictions. However, in order to strengthen the relationship between each other, some families sometimes use different methods of marriage. It is the kind of destiny marriage where one person dies, the other will die soon after, and there are many more.
With few tricks, both Taoists can only be loyal to each other.
These thoughts entered Li Qiao's mind. He felt that he was so close to the marriage at this moment, and he actually felt a bit of panic. In fact, Li Qiao had completely overthought it. Even if he was allowed to marry, it would be an ordinary marriage, and he would serve as a partner to maintain the relationship. , if there is a destiny marriage, it will not fall on him.
"The elder misunderstood. Although Li Qiao was a dual practitioner of foundation building, after he advanced to the foundation building level, he knew that the hope of dual cultivation of golden elixirs was slim, so he had already changed his cultivation method." Li Qiao replied.
"What technique?" Li Yuming asked.
"There are no techniques for the moment..." Li Qiao replied.
"..."
The entire cave suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Li Yuming really wants to say that you may not have much hope of continuing to try dual cultivation.
Although the other party's behavior seems stupid, he will not treat Li Qiao as a fool.
Being able to advance to foundation building, being able to survive in the turbulent place after the family was transferred, and then being able to travel a long way to come to the family, all show that they are not ordinary people.
If it is not something extremely important, the family will not force the monks in the clan to do something that goes against their true intentions. After all, it is not good for the monks who have been trained to become disloyal in the end. Li Yuming is like this now because the family's recent situation is somewhat different.
After simply knowing Li Qiao's attitude, Li Yuming decided not to continue to persuade the other party to find a Taoist companion. When he really felt how difficult it was to get the golden elixir, the other party might ask for it himself.
"If nothing happens, can you leave? If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me or other Jindan elders." After chatting casually for a few more words, Li Yuming decided to end the conversation. Jindan monk, time It is also very valuable.
Li Qiao, who originally had nothing to do and knew what to do next, should leave directly at this moment, but he suddenly remembered the scene where he flew with a group of foundation-building monks before.
The Qi-training monk doesn't know, the Foundation-building monk doesn't want to say, and he doesn't know how long it will take to know the answer. It would be best if he could ask it from the Golden Pill monk at this moment.
It can be said that this is not a big deal, but for this special situation and not knowing the specific reasons, Li Qiao always felt a little uneasy, so he took this opportunity to ask.
"Junior does still have something that I don't understand. I hope the elder can tell me that when I first arrived in the family, I encountered a group of family foundation builders who behaved a bit strangely... I couldn't refuse, so I joined them. Finally, a monk from the same clan told me that it was a family mission. , but he didn’t say what the specifics were. I wonder if it would have any impact?” In order to prevent the other party from dismissing him with just a sentence about family mission, Li Qiao directly stated that he knew this, and said that he didn’t know if it would have any impact, and the other party would tell him no matter what. Order it?
"It is indeed a family mission. It is right to join. If you refuse to join, it will be okay at the time, but you will have to lead the flight once in the future. You cannot run away when encountering such a situation in the future. No family monk can run away." Li Yuming didn't know what he thought of. What, he replied with a smile.
Li Qiao was very thoughtful and quickly caught something from the words, and asked directly: "No family monk can run away, does that include the family's golden elixir elder?"
I thought it was impossible, but the other party did not deny it immediately. Instead, he said after a while: "Not just Elder Jindan, do you know why they are allowed to go to the edge of the family to do tasks?"
The two people's eyes met. Although they didn't say anything, they seemed to have said a lot. Finally, Li Yuming said softly: "What you can say has been said, let's go down!" Obviously he didn't want to go further.
After Li Qiao left the other party's cave, he was not in a calm mood. He was more than just a Jindan elder? That includes the family Yuanying monks, and the ones who can make the family Yuanying do that kind of thing are most likely to come from higher-level family monks. One answer is almost obvious: there are monks in the family who are in the spirit transformation stage.
Thinking of some weird legends about the Divine Transformation Stage, the situation of monks queuing up is not so difficult to understand, and it is also true that there are existences that the Foundation-Building Pill monks dare not mention easily.
Is there really a god-level monk in the family? Although the answer points to this point, Li Qiao still has
Some people can't believe it. If according to what the family's Qi Lian said, this situation has happened for more than ten years, does it mean that the emergence of gods in the family happened more than ten years ago?
In any immortal cultivating family, there are only Golden Core Stage monks on the surface, but most of them have Nascent Soul cultivators behind them. Once a cultivating family appears in the Divine Transformation stage, it is not just as simple as having one more high-level monk, it may also bring As the family becomes stronger, it may also lead the family to destruction.
But no matter what the result is, the family monks behind it will be happy, because it means that the upper limit of possible cultivation levels has been increased.
