Chapter 264: Test each other

Generally speaking, the Beimeng is composed of many forces in the northern part of the East China Sea and casual repairs. In addition to Qianyuan City, where the essence of the Beimeng is located, there are still 18 large forces under the jurisdiction of the Beimeng. Six medium-sized powers and 72 small powers, these are branches derived from the towering tree of the North League. They and Qianyuan City where the headquarters of the North League are located are mutually external and control the East China Sea. Northern waters.

The Li family is at the bottom of these 36 medium-sized forces. The major forces in the Northern League have their own standards. Generally speaking, if you want to become the 18 large-scale forces, you must have at least one of these forces. The existence of the ancestors of the position; and the real person in the middle of the forge is the lowest sign of the medium power; even a small power, there must be a real person for the forge to put up its own banner.

Although the Li family had Li Xiuzhu's advanced alchemy period in the past two years, and then Chu Ting, after the advanced alchemy period, nominally joined the Li family, the Li family's strength has increased a lot. The position has also been consolidated, but the strength of the Li family is still at the bottom of the 36 medium-sized families. Many small forces have surpassed the Li family in terms of the number and overall strength of the Dao Dan real person. After this Dan meeting, the Li family was unable to pass the North League's strength certification, and gave up the position of the medium-sized forces for them to compete.

Every hundred years, the North League will take advantage of the celebration of the establishment of the North League to hold competitive conferences of all major forces. At that time, the three forces of large, medium and small will choose to refine alchemy, or refining equipment, or formation, or making amulet. Four types of skills are compared, and then the status of each power is evaluated by the comprehensive strength developed by the major forces over the past century. After each time the skills are compared, the last three of the large forces will automatically fall into the medium-sized forces. In the same way, the last six medium-sized powers will be replaced by the six strongest small powers; the last twelve small-sized powers will be replaced by the North League. The major forces choose from the forces that do not enter the North Sea.

The Li family was ranked 29th among the 36 medium-sized powers last time, and it only lived next to the six medium-sized powers that were eliminated. This time, it was one of the "hot" candidates to be reduced to a small power.

When Lu Ping arrived at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain in the middle of Qianyuan City, Li Maolin and Li Xiuzhu, the heads of the Li family, were already waiting here. Lu Ping approached Li Maolin when he met Li Maolin, he heard Li Maolin make a haha, and said, "Niece Chuting. Because of physical illness, I won't come to appreciate this competition."

Lu Pingpian nodded expressionlessly. Lu Ping knew that it was because of yesterday's incident. The two of them had a disagreement. They were naturally out of sight and annoyed. Li Maolin obviously knew about it. Li Xiuzhu glanced at Lu Ping and met him. Expressionlessly followed Li Maolin and walked towards the towering Qianyuan Mountain. After thinking for a while, after all, he didn't say anything, and silently followed Chi Lianying behind Lu Ping.

"Isn't this brother Li from Sanjiadao? This time Dan will come early!" A middle-aged scribe with three strands of long beard came slowly from the side with a few people.

"Oh, it is Brother Shangguan. Brother Shangguan is here on behalf of the family this time. For your family’s promotion to the medium-sized power, I’m afraid it is inevitable? My Li family is not comparable to the Shangguan family. If you can’t say that this Danhui will be replaced by Shangguan brother’s family. Maybe it’s too early, but it’s just flying to the stupid bird first."

Li Maolin saw the person coming, his face changed slightly, but he still greeted him and chatted and laughed happily.

"Brother Li’s family is also pretty good. I heard that two years ago, a sage niece and one of the family members advanced to the alchemy period. Brother Li’s family strength has greatly improved. I just don’t know where Brother Li invited this time. An expert in alchemy came to participate?"

There were only a few people behind Li Maolin, and the eyes of the Shangguan Patriarch only wandered on Lu Ping and Chi Lianying.

"It's just a little help. After all, both of them are just advanced, and they are both female generations. They are not comparable to Shangguan Haoxian's nephew. I heard that their cultivation has reached the second level of forging alchemy, and now they have replaced Shangguan brothers. Take care of family affairs."

"Uncle Li is absurd. My nephew He De He Neng is just doing jerking under his father's hands." A handsome young man behind Shangguan Patriarch Li Xiuzhu who had never left his eyes since the beginning said hurriedly and respectfully.

Li Xiuzhu frowned when he saw this person.

"Brother Li, how did you think about the things that the younger brother mentioned to you last time?" Shangguan Patriarch hid a knife with a smile on his face, and asked: "The daughters of Dogzi and Brother Li can also be regarded as talented women. The thirty-six middle-sized powers of advanced ranks are also inevitable. When you and I join forces, even if Brother Li's family will be reduced to a small power this time, the Zhang Wang family of Sanjiadao dare not do anything."

Li Maolin pondered: "Brother Shangguan is so sure to advance to the medium-sized forces this time?"

"Of course!" The Shangguan Patriarch said confidently: "My Shangguan family only has five monks in the Alchemy Period, and there are two monks who have reached the Middle Alchemy Period. It can be said that the standard for medium-sized forces has already been reached, only a shortfall. That's not the name of the Danhui, and this time my Shangguan family was fortunate enough to invite Master Yue to take action, and I will definitely be able to rank among the top 72 small forces."

The Shangguan Patriarch pointed to an arrogant old man behind him and introduced to Li Maolin.

Li Maolin's face changed and said in surprise: "But Mr. Yuejiang Ruiyue?"

The arrogant old man saw Li Maolin respectfully calling himself "Mr.", and he nodded with satisfaction, but did not speak.

When Li Xiuzhu next to Lu Ping heard the Shangguan Patriarch talk about the marriage between the two families, his expression was a little dim and he seemed extremely reluctant. When he heard the name "Yue Jiangrui", his expression was also full of surprise.

Lu Ping didn’t know the details of Yue Jiangrui, Chi Lianying on the side explained in a low voice: “This Yue Jiangrui has been immersed in alchemy for hundreds of years, but he has always been one step short of becoming a master alchemy because he has been unable to break through the alchemy period. But this person The reputation in the Northern League is not small, because he has made dozens of half-step elixir elixir medicines, and the rate of pill formation is even higher than that of some alchemy masters. Therefore, it has always been Considered to be the first person under the alchemy master."

When Lu Ping heard this, he was also quite surprised. The half-step forging pill stage medicine that Lu Ping has now refined does not exceed ten types, which is nothing like this person.

Li Maolin thought for a while, and then said, "Although it is the order of the parents to marry, it is even more important whether the two are happy. If Shangguan's nephew can win the favor of the little girl, the little brother has nothing to say. But this time, my Li family may not be able to keep the position of these 36 houses."

Shangguan Patriarch's face changed when he heard this. Just now, Li Xiuzhu's expression was not seen by everyone present, and Li Maolin's statement was already clearly rejecting the marriage of the two families.

At this moment, Yue Jiang Rui, who had been carrying his hands on the side of the Shangguan Patriarch, pointed to Lu Ping, and suddenly said, "Is Patriarch Li this stinky kid who is relying on this pill meeting?"
