Therefore, Yang Qi could only decline the invitations from these cultivation forces. Just as Yang Qi declined the invitations and returned to his residence, Wang Yan had already contacted the Li family and informed them of Yang Qi's thoughts.
After learning the news, the top management of the Li family immediately convened a family meeting to discuss the matter.
"That Xu Xing is the cultivator who defeated Qi'er?" A middle-aged man at the head looked at the people present and then slowly spoke,
"Yes, it was he who defeated Qi'er."
A man in fancy clothes nodded slightly and continued, "According to what Qi'er said after the battle in the ring, Xu Xing's strength is far superior to his. He is definitely a cultivator who is qualified to compete for the championship of this God's Chosen Battle!"
The champion of the God's Chosen Battle!
Hearing this, the cultivators present couldn't help but envy the rewards for winning the God-chosen Battle Champion. That was a reward that was enough to make any cultivator jealous.
The Li family has been on a downward spiral since the birth of the Ultimate Martial Emperor. This generation finally had a Li Qi, who not only embarked on the path of the Five Elements Fusion, but also comprehended the ultimate mysteries. It can be said that the entire Li family now regards Li Qi as the hope of the Li family, the hope of leading the Li family to revival.
However, even so, the top leaders of the Li family also knew that Li Qi had a good chance of reaching the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, but his hope of becoming the Ultimate Martial Emperor was slim.
It's not that the Li family doesn't have a cultivator at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. Even though Li Qi follows the path of the Five Elements Fusion and has inherited the legacy left by the ancestor of the Li family, his strength and means may be much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. But he is still only at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, and cannot bring the Li family back to the peak, let alone take it a step further.
But if the Li family can win the championship of the God-chosen Battle and obtain more cultivation resources, then they will have a chance to increase their family foundation. Even if they cannot become the top cultivation force, their overall strength will definitely be greatly improved.
As the top members of the family, the Li family members naturally see this very clearly.
"If Xu Xing is willing to join our Li family and represent our Li family in the God's Chosen Battle, the benefits that can be brought to the family are naturally self-evident." A tall middle-aged man said this, paused slightly, and then changed the subject, "But with our strength and foundation, can we keep those benefits?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Li family fell silent. Although their ancestors had once produced an Ultimate Martial Emperor, everyone in the Li family understood that the inheritance left by that ancestor was actually of limited help to the family. After all, even in the Li family, it was not easy to produce a practitioner who could follow the path of Five Elements Fusion. And for a practitioner who did not follow the path of Five Elements Fusion, the inheritance left by the ancestor would be useless.
Therefore, the Li family’s current size is actually due to very limited help from their ancestral heritage. Most of it is due to the resources left behind by their ancestors. But resources will eventually run out. If the Li family wants to become stronger, they can only rely on themselves to gain more resources.
"With our Li family's current strength, we really can't keep the reward of ranking in the top of the God's Choice Battle." The middle-aged man at the top nodded slightly, and then continued, "However, are you willing to let go of this opportunity?"
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent. This was a rare opportunity for the Li family to rise. Once missed, there was no telling when they would have another chance! If the Li family was allowed to develop slowly step by step, it was unknown when they would become one of the world's top cultivation forces. As the current head of the Li family, the middle-aged man at the top obviously did not want to miss such an opportunity.
In the corner, a mature man said in a deep voice, "Although the opportunity is rare, we must do it according to our ability."
It is not easy for the Li family to develop to where it is today. If because of a wrong decision, the Li family not only fails to make further progress, but continues to decline, then their generation will not be able to face their ancestors even if they die in the future.
"With the background of our Li family, it is indeed difficult to keep those rewards, but we can unite with other cultivation forces." The middle-aged man at the top seemed to have anticipated that there would be opposition from the cultivators, and he couldn't help but speak.
Um
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. If the Li family could find a powerful ally, then it would not be difficult to keep those resources. Although alliances could not be made openly, they could be done secretly!
"If that's the case, then it's feasible. As long as the risks and benefits we pay are equal and it's within the tolerance range of our Li family, we can definitely give it a try."
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. Since there is a way to reduce the risk, it is worth a try."
"Besides, our Li family is not a pushover. The methods left by our ancestors mean that not everyone dares to come after our Li family."
For a moment, most of the Li family's senior members in the hall chose to support the patriarch's decision. Even the very few who did not speak did not object, and obviously acquiesced to this approach.
The ancestor of the Li family was the Ultimate Martial Emperor. After his death, he naturally left behind some methods. However, the Li family has not used these methods for such a long time.
If they encounter any danger in the future, they can fully use the methods left by their ancestors. Of course, the premise of all this is that the degree of danger is within the range that the Li family can bear.
Soon, the Li family's top leaders discussed which cultivation power to join forces with, the bottom line that the Li family could bear, and even the bottom line for recruiting Yang Qi. Because they needed to join forces with other cultivation forces, the rewards from the Li family would inevitably be divided up a lot. In this case, facing Yang Qi who took the initiative to come to them, the Li family naturally had to lower the conditions as much as possible.
Yang Qi didn't know the result of the Li family's discussion. At this moment, he was resting in the inn and preparing for tomorrow's Hundred Wins Contest.
Whether Yang Qi wants to contact the Li family or look for a cultivation force that can provide him with the opportunities he needs, he must demonstrate his own value. Only in this way can those cultivation forces be willing to spend a high price to recruit him.
The next morning, when Yang Qi was about to leave the inn to go to the Baisheng Arena, he saw Wang Yan waiting in the inn.
Seeing Yang Qi coming, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Xuxing, the Li family has already responded and is willing to recruit you to represent the Li family in the God's Chosen Battle."
Agreed
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Yang Qi was slightly stunned. Although he asked Wang Yan to help contact the Li family, he never expected that the Li family would make a decision so quickly and were willing to recruit him. This was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations.
