Chapter 151: Ling Yanzi

After finishing his meditation, Chen Donghe bowed to Li Tongya, was taken down by Li Xuansuan to make the Xuanjing Spirit Oath and read the cultivation technique, and Li Xuanling also retired to cultivate.

Li Tongya watched the juniors go away, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and calculated the years. He was almost fifty years old, and he was still a small half of the way to the seventh level of Qi Refining. He couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"These three levels of the late Qi Refining stage are particularly focused on accumulation, and it's not something that can be broken through in the short term. I'm afraid it will take another five or six years of effort."

Thinking this way, the formation patterns on the Sun Ritual Profound Light Great Formation suddenly shone brightly. Li Tongya's expression became solemn, and a loud voice came from outside the formation.

"Ding Xiding of the Ding family on Xunlin Plain comes to visit. I ask Brother Tongya to appear and see me!"

Li Tongya raised an eyebrow and looked up. Outside the formation stood a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a rough face, holding a stick in his hand, carefully examining the Sun Ritual Profound Light Great Formation below. Observing his cultivation, he was actually a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.

"In order to check and balance the Yu family and my Li family, the An family led the families on Xunlin Plain to enter and occupy Tiaoyun Mountain. This must be the Ding family. They are quite polite. They just entered Tiaoyun Mountain and came to visit."

With a movement of his spiritual sense, the great formation immediately opened a small mouth. Li Tongya cupped his hands and said politely: "Li Tongya of the Lijing Li family greets you, senior!"

"Eh! Don't, don't."

Ding Xiding waved his hand, landed on Lijing Mountain, looked at Li Tongya, and congratulated:

"I have long heard of the great name of the Green Spike Sword Immortal. This mountain is also blessed to be able to raise such a Sword Immortal!"

Ding Xiding was quite clever. He knew that praising Lijing Mountain as a fairy mountain was too hypocritical, so he changed his wording and cupped his hands: "Congratulations to Brother Tongya for obtaining a fairy mountain in the east and walking out of the dangerous place at the corner of the mountain."

Li Tongya gave a light smile and replied: "The Ding family has also obtained new territory. Congratulations, congratulations! Come in and talk!"

The two families had just finished dividing up the Lu family's territory. The Li family had marital ties with the Lu family, and at least they gave a way to live on Huaqian Mountain. However, the Lu family members under Tiaoyun Mountain were slaughtered by the Ding family regardless of direct or collateral, and the blades of the troops under his command were still bloody.

Ding Xiding entered the courtyard and laughed, thinking of climbing up the relationship, and replied:

"Brother Tongya may not know that my Ding family has been marital relatives with the Yuan family for generations. And this Yuan family has a daughter cultivating on Green Spike Peak. According to the ranking, she is the Sword Immortal senior's senior sister."

"There is such an origin!"

Li Tongya cooperated very well, but he didn't think so in his heart, and secretly laughed:

"Generations of marital ties don't mean anything. Aren't the An and Lu families marital relatives for generations? Lu Sisi just died and they took Tiaoyun Mountain, and now they are even raising their butcher knives without regard for old feelings. Marital ties are not as good as having some conflicts of interest."

Ding Xiding nodded slightly, feeling helpless in his heart. His Ding family had not had any territorial changes for over two hundred years. The Yuan family treated his Ding family as a dog guarding the gate of Xunlin Plain. Now that they had finally gotten out of their predicament and obtained a mountain, who would have thought that outside the door were the Sword Immortal family and the Foundation Establishment family, which made people feel helpless.

Li Tongya's heart moved, and he said with a bitter smile: "Senior entered this mountain from Xunlin Plain, but you have to report to the Yu family, or you have to go to Milin County to send some gifts, otherwise you will be targeted!"

Ding Xiding's face changed drastically. He put down the teacup and said in a shocked voice:

"There is such a thing! Is this Yu family so overbearing?"

"The Yu family's territory is vast. Yu Xiaogui at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and Yu Yufeng with the White Jade Hand at the late stage of Foundation Establishment are not ordinary people. The juniors are also full of talents. The lake has long been dominated by their family!"

Li Tongya vomited bitterness for a while, looking bitter and deep, which shocked Ding Xiding, and he said repeatedly:

"The Li family is famous for its Sword Immortal, and it is also threatened by them?"

"Although my Li family stays out of the matter, we are truly terrified!"

Li Tongya also put down the teacup and said in a low voice: "Senior, if you have such a family around you, how can you not consider your descendants! The Yu family's edge is too sharp!"

Ding Xiding felt it made sense, nodded repeatedly, gritted his teeth and secretly thought:

"I didn't believe what the An family said, but I didn't expect the Li family to fear the Yu family by three points. It seems that if you want to make a career by the lake, you must disturb this Yu family!"

This head had already begun to think about how to contact some Foundation Establishment cultivator friends and the Yuan family's foreign aid to strike the Yu family. Li Tongya saw him in deep thought and smiled slightly, not disturbing him. After a full few dozen breaths, Ding Xiding finally raised his head in enlightenment and apologized: "I was distracted, I ask Brother Tongya to forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Ding Xiding bid farewell. Li Tongya watched him go far away, sat back in the main seat, looked at the map of Wangyue Lake on the table, touched the corner of Huaqian Mountain, and muttered: "With this place, my Li family can have another thirty years of peace and development. You guys fight first..."

Having said that, he smiled slightly, but heard a light sound at the courtyard door. Li Xuanling walked in a few steps, walked respectfully to his side, and cupped his hands: "Father."

"How is it?"

Li Tongya's gaze stayed on the map and asked softly.

"It's about... the talisman seeds!"

Li Xuanling repeated his previous thoughts in a low voice. When he talked about brothers fighting each other, Li Xuanling clearly saw his father Li Tongya pause slightly. After he finished speaking for more than ten breaths, he nodded and said in a low voice:

"You considered it, this must be cautious."

Having said that, he looked up at him, and Li Tongya praised:

"You saw this matter accurately, not bad! But this is not enough. Have you thought of a way?"

Li Xuanling pondered for a few breaths and replied: "According to the son, the best way is to divide the talisman seeds equally according to the four pulses. Each pulse can get one. It's a pity that there are not enough talisman seeds, so we can only choose the best to plant the talisman seeds, and wait for the eldest sons and spiritual aperture children of the pulses to come of age to compare and select the owners of the remaining two talisman seeds..."

Li Tongya heard Li Xuanling's words, shook his head slightly, and said:

"You are young after all, and your vision is not far-reaching enough. Even if the talisman seeds are sufficient for generations, you cannot let the four pulses divide them equally. This will only make the four pulses drift further and further apart, gradually generating estrangement, and even make the main pulse oppress other pulses and snatch the talisman seeds."

"The most feared thing in holding a family is to divide it too clearly. You must make the four pulses one, select a Qilin child from each generation to receive the talisman seed, and only grant one in each generation. If you grant two, twenty years later, the Moon generation will be born, and if there is an amazing genius, where will the talisman seeds come from?"

Having said that, he waved his hand slightly, Li Xuanling nodded repeatedly, and said respectfully: "The son is taught!"

Li Xuanling pondered for a few breaths, and then asked with some confusion:

"Then how to determine this Qilin child?"

Li Tongya smiled lightly when he heard this and said in a low voice: "Isn't this simple? Blindfold everyone, block their sight and hearing, and kneel before the Dharma Mirror together to see who receives the talisman seed. Whoever receives it is the Qilin child!"

Li Tongya cupped his hands and explained his plan. Only then did he have Li Xuanfeng lie in ambush on the opposite hilltop, cover his face with a spirit cloth, and stand quietly under a tree, waiting for the arrival of the three.
