Although it has entered summer, the Yuepan Valley in June is not as hot as the outside world. It can even feel slightly cool when the wind blows in the shade.
Today is the day of Li Qingfeng's Foundation Building Ceremony. The entire Li family has been busy for several months, distributing invitations, decorating, purchasing various ingredients, spiritual wine, etc., and finally the day has come.
The huge square set aside during the construction of the clan land is now functioning. Canopies and seats have been built at both ends for guests to sit and talk, and from time to time there are still some mortal servants busy in it.
After so many years, the servants of the Li family have been well trained, and they all know the rules. If Ge Mao saw them now, he would probably not be able to find any faults.
At the end of the square, there is a high platform, on which a person is sitting quietly with his eyes closed. It's not Li Qingfeng, but who is it?
As the sun rose in the east, Li Qingdong walked in quickly from outside, waved all the servants to leave, and flew to Li Qingfeng's side, saying to him: "Qingfeng, the time is coming soon, are you ready to start?"
"Okay." Li Qingfeng nodded. As the master of this ceremony, he couldn't wander around. Naturally, everything was left to Li Qingdong and Wen Hong to arrange. Fortunately, Wen Hong was well-informed, and Li Qingdong had also arranged to ascend to immortality several times. It was a grand ceremony, I had some experience, and finally there was no trouble.
After receiving his answer, Li Qingdong turned around and flew out. After a while, he heard his voice coming from outside: "The time has come, the ceremony begins -"
The first people to come in were the members of the Li family. Today, they were all wearing cyan Li family standard robes, with the word "李" tattooed in ancient script on their left chest. They were headed by Li Qingdong, followed by Wen Xiuxiang, and then by seniority. There were thirteen people in total, three of whom had just succeeded in becoming immortals last year. Two were from the Li family in Shannan, one woman and one man, named Li Qingtao and Li Yu respectively. Fortunately, the remaining person is from Lijiacun himself, named Li Yuchen.
The two people from the Li family in Shannan are relatively older. Li Qingtao is Li Qing'an's half-sister. She is seventeen years old this year and has four spiritual roots. She is gentle and pleasant; Li Yufu has five-color mixed spiritual roots. This year He is twelve years old and chubby; and the last newcomer, Li Yuchen, also has five-color mixed spiritual roots and is exactly five years old this year.
The crowd, led by Li Qingdong and Wen Xiuxiang, greeted Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded, and after saying a few words, everyone stood up and headed towards their seats. Three of them left the team. The first two were Li Qingdong and Wen Xiuxiang. They were responsible for helping Li Qingfeng receive them. The other was Li Qingzhu, who was responsible for the roll call today.
"The casual cultivators Wang Yuanshan and Lu Yeye have arrived——"
The first ones who came in were the casual cultivators, whom the Li family had become familiar with in the past few years while running around the city. The two were a couple who had met Wen Hong before and had often helped the Li family in the past few years. For some errands, I hired them this time. The two of them were brought to Li Qingfeng to salute and present the congratulatory gifts. Li Qingfeng smiled and said a few words, and Wen Xiuxiang led the two of them to the shed on the right to sit down. Immediately, servants and maids served snacks and tea. On the other hand, the same is true for other casual cultivators.
"Chen Hao, Ge Rong, and Luo Qi are here—"
There were not many casual cultivators, and the song was finished quickly. It was the turn of the sect monks. Although Chen Hao was a monk of the Jinding Sect, he came to participate in a private name and did not represent the Jinding Sect, so he was ranked behind the sect cultivators. Before the sect representatives; as for Ge Rong and Luo Qi, they were the nephews of Ge Mao and Luo Yi respectively, and they also came to watch the ceremony in a private capacity.
Then it was the turn of the representatives of each sect family. Since the Li family was just established and did not have a wide range of contacts, most of the people invited this time were affiliated forces of the Jinding Sect, such as the Zhang family, the Fan family, etc. Naturally, the people sent by the Zhang family and the Fan family this time are old faces, Zhang Pengyi and Fan Mingcheng. After experiencing the secret realm of Lion's Mane Mountain, both of them have advanced to the ninth level of Qi training, but they don't know when they will start building the foundation.
Li Qingfeng was familiar with the two of them, so he stood up and laughed, while the other forces who were not familiar with him sat down and Li Qingdong received them on his behalf.
"Shi's family in Banyue Mountain, Shi Xin has arrived——"
Compared with the last time they met, Shi Xin was a little thinner, but he was in good spirits. He did not participate in the secret realm development, so his cultivation level increased slowly. He is still at the ninth level of Qi training. As soon as he saw Li Qingfeng, he raised his hands and said meticulously: "Shi Xin of the Shi family congratulates Senior Li on his great success in building the foundation, and wishes Senior that his spiritual thoughts will be clear and his path will be broad!"
It was obvious that after the strength was transferred, the other party could no longer be as close to Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so reserved. Judging from your cultivation, I'm afraid it won't be long before you and I become Taoist friends again." It matches."
A smile appeared on Shi Xin's face and he said: "Thank you for your kind words, senior." At the same time, he offered congratulatory gifts. The gifts from his Shi family were not light. They were some second-level water attribute spiritual objects and foundation-building monks to use to improve their cultivation. Li Qingfeng accepted the pill with a smile and let Wen Xiuxiang lead him to sit down.
"Jindingmen, Liu Yunshu has arrived——"
As Li Qingzhu sang loudly, the last guest of the day arrived. However, upon hearing Liu Yunshu's name, many representatives of Jinding Sect's affiliated forces changed their faces slightly, and whispered among themselves, wondering why Jinding Sect Will send Liu Yunshu out.
Today, Liu Yunshu was wearing a plain green skirt. She tied her long hair into a rare style with a jade hairpin. Two bunches of green silk hung in front of her ears. When she saw Li Qingfeng approaching, a smile appeared on her face and she cupped her hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Congratulations on your success in foundation building!"
Li Qingfeng smiled and cupped his hands: "Haha, thanks to Fairy Liu's good words!"
While laughing and chatting, Li Qingfeng led Liu Yunshu to sit at the top of the guest seats, where a specially arranged maid was already waiting. In fact, inviting Liu Yunshu this time was a test for the upper echelons of the Jinding Sect. After all, although Liu Yunshu's lineage was suppressed in the Jinding Sect, she was already a foundation-building monk, and she accepted Li Qingfeng's personal invitation. The upper echelons of the Jinding Sect did not care. Whether to send other foundation builders to come, not to send foundation builders to come, or to choose to send one more foundation builder to take the lead can reflect many problems.
The first two are unlikely to happen. This is equivalent to tearing off the fig leaf of the power struggle in the sect. It is too stupid. If Jinding Sect really does this, Li Qingfeng will start to consider changing sects. As for the latter, Jinding Sect sent two foundation-building monks to participate in Li Qingfeng's foundation-building ceremony. To outsiders, this was a sign that Jinding Sect attached great importance to the Li family, and when the time came, Li Qingfeng would follow the trend and expand the Li family's influence. Influence.
But in the end, Jinding Sect made the choice to let Liu Yunshu come as a representative to participate in the foundation building ceremony. This was not bad. It was equivalent to improving the environment around Liu Yunshu's lineage on the surface - it was impossible to just send someone out to do it. Representative, will you attack people when you get back? And this is also beneficial to the Li family.
