Each to Their Own Positioning

This time, he refined thirty furnaces of Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills.

In truth, Li Qianqing had refined a total of four hundred and fourteen pills. In other words, aside from six furnaces that produced thirteen Qi Replenishing Pills, all the rest had produced fourteen.

Although he possessed extremely rich pill-refining experience, at Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Li Qianqing still could not guarantee a full ten-out-of-ten success rate when refining Rank 1 Mid-Grade Pills, even if he refined them one portion per furnace.

Refining one portion of Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pill spirit herbs per furnace, he could estimate that the final number of Qi Replenishing Pills refined would probably be between four hundred and seventeen and four hundred and nineteen. If his luck was especially good, there might be four hundred and twenty, but as the number of furnaces increased, the possibility of every furnace being full grew lower and lower.

Now, excluding the three hundred and twenty-one Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills for the clan, he still had ninety-three.

It was not that these ninety-three Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills could not be used by himself, but that he simply had no use for them.

I might as well sell them.

As Li Qianqing thought this, he was already almost back at his own residence.

"Qianqing-ge, are the Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills finished?" Li Qianyin was waiting for him at Li Qianqing's door.

"They're finished. The results were good."

"Hehe, I knew it." Li Qianyin smiled, then said, "I knew Qianqing-ge was refining pills recently, so I didn't come disturb you. Now the pills are finished too, so Qianqing-ge, you should reward yourself a little."

Li Qianqing did not even need to think to know Li Qianyin's goal. "Reward myself with what?"

"Of course by going out together. We haven't gone out to play in ages. We can't just stay on Changle Mountain forever, right?" Li Qianyin said quickly, hoping Li Qianqing would agree just as quickly.

"That's rewarding yourself, isn't it?"

Li Qianqing reached out to flick her little head, but he did not succeed.

"Last time, when you broke through to Qi Refining Sixth Layer, didn't we only just go out?" Li Qianqing remembered it vividly. Back then, when he took Li Qianyin out, she had nearly played herself wild. It was probably because she had been working hard at cultivation for so long and had never had the time to play.

"Aiya, that was already ages ago." Li Qianyin moved a little farther away from Li Qianqing.

Ever since the last Loose Cultivator incident, Qianqing-ge had rather rarely touched her head, but he had taken a liking to flicking her little head, especially when her opinion differed from his. She would often get hit.

"I've refined rather a lot of pills recently. Let me rest for a while first, then we'll talk." Li Qianqing put it off.

If it were an ordinary time, perhaps he would have agreed, but now was not the time.

He just happened to need to go out and sell the Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills in his hands. He absolutely could not bring Li Qianyin along for that.

"All right, then it's settled. After you rest for a while, take me out to play."

"You girl, you're twisting my words again."

"I don't care! Qianqing-ge, you're a man, so your words have to count."

Li Qianyin kept pestering him.

In the end, Li Qianqing could only agree, but while he was resting, Li Qianyin had to cultivate properly and could not waste time.

Although Li Qianyin was already working very hard, Li Qianqing still hoped she would work even harder.

Her potential had not yet been used up.

For the clan to rise and develop, relying on him alone would not do. What clansmen with potential needed even more was guidance, so they would not waste their own potential.

The clan's healthy development meant everyone advancing together.

Not long after Li Qianyin left, Li Qianqing went to find Li Xingxin.

Li Xingxin was currently tending the Spiritual Field with meticulous care.

"Xingxin," Li Qianqing called.

Hearing him, Li Xingxin raised his head and looked toward Li Qianqing not far away. "It's Thirteenth Uncle."

Under normal circumstances, when Thirteenth Uncle came looking for him, it was because he wanted him to help look after the Spiritual Field for a while, and there would be a decent reward.

At Qi Refining Third Layer, he was still in Early-Stage Qi Refining. Every year, the clan would only issue him one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

"I have something to go out for over the next few days. I'll have to trouble you to help look after the Spiritual Field."

"Yes, Thirteenth Uncle!" Li Xingxin agreed outright. Working for Thirteenth Uncle was excellent; the reward was never small.

Moreover, with Thirteenth Uncle's current prestige in the clan, he would definitely be one of the clan's core upper ranks in the future. Getting closer to Thirteenth Uncle would be very beneficial for him, a junior of the Xing Generation.

"Mm. Go on with your work." After giving his instructions, Li Qianqing signaled for him to continue with what he had been doing.

Li Xingxin was a cultivator with Four Spiritual Roots, which counted as middling talent in the Li Family.

This type of cultivator had hope of entering Late-Stage Qi Refining and becoming one of the clan's upper ranks.

If the Li Family developed further and became a Core Formation cultivation clan, then even clansmen with Four Spiritual Roots would have a little hope of Foundation Establishment.

For the current Li Family, if a Four Spiritual Roots cultivator wanted to rely on the clan for Foundation Establishment, it was unrealistic. They could only rely on their own opportunities. Fortunately, Li Xingxin had Four Spiritual Roots, so Li Qianqing could still give him a simple bit of encouragement. If Li Xingxin were a clansman with Five Spiritual Roots...

Li Qianqing's suggestion would be to marry wives like mad and cultivate the next generation.

Among the cultivators born in the clan's future, the efforts of Five Spiritual Roots cultivators in this regard would definitely not be lacking.

If a Four Spiritual Roots cultivator wanted to live such a life, Li Qianqing would not stop him. If a Three Spiritual Roots cultivator had such thoughts, he would definitely talk him through it.

One's own spiritual root talent did not affect the spiritual root talent of the next generation. If one had good talent, one should seek better development and break through to higher realms.

Ordinary mortals, clansmen with poor spiritual root talent, and clansmen with good spiritual root talent could all find their own positions within the vast clan as a whole, allowing the clan to keep developing and growing stronger.

After he became the clan Patriarch, he would definitely pass down the notion that Five Spiritual Roots cultivators were suited to marrying wives, having children, and cultivating the next generation.

If he himself could not make it, then if he gave birth to a son or daughter with good talent, perhaps they could even help him develop better. Having a powerful junior was also something very worth being happy about.

After returning to his residence, Li Qianqing immediately began cultivating.

Early the next morning.

Li Qianqing left Changle Mountain.

From the moment he decided to sell the Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills, he had already thought of where to sell them.

The Cultivator Market in Xiangshui Prefecture definitely would not do. Not only would that steal some business from the Li Family, there was also a chance he could be discovered. Although no one would ever think it was him, Li Qianqing, selling them, it was still best not to stir up any whole moths and butterflies.

This Zhao Kingdom had thirty-six prefectures.

Among them, there were four prefectures neighboring Xiangshui Prefecture.

Two of those prefectures also had Li Family shops opened in them.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivation clan, the Li Family's influence was not limited to a single prefecture. It also held a certain amount of influence in neighboring prefectures.

Li Qianqing would not go to prefectures with Li Family shops. His targets were Purple Flower Prefecture and Wutong Prefecture.

These two prefectures did not have Li Family shops, and the Li Family's influence there was pitifully small. They were good places for him to sell the Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills.

Ninety-three Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills could be divided into two batches and sold in the Cultivator Markets of Purple Flower Prefecture and Wutong Prefecture.
