Chapter 193 Li Qiqing wants Li Muwan to help him

Kunxu Star Region, Suzaku Star.

Ever since Li Qiqing became the fifteenth generation Zhu Quezi, the entire Suzaku Star became more prosperous than before, and even the cultivators were more formidable than before.

The Immortal Remnant Clan, in accordance with their agreement with Lin Che, did not attack the Six-Level Cultivation Countries within the Suzaku Star.

They also wished to live in harmony with the cultivators here, coexisting on the Suzaku Star.

In a magnificent room, Li Qiqing, dressed in Zhu Quezi robes, leaned back in a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and asked, "How is the cultivation situation in the various countries currently?"

The powerful Initial Stage of Dao Querying Realm expert at the forefront stepped forward, cupped his hands to Li Qiqing, and replied, "Reporting to Zhu Quezi, the Zhao Country, where the Hengyue Sect is located, has already advanced to a Six-Level Cultivation Country, becoming the second Six-Level Cultivation Country besides our Zhu Que Country."

Hearing this, Li Qiqing did not feel surprised, as Zhao Country was the country where his younger sister resided, so there was no problem with it advancing to a Six-Level Cultivation Country.

"Continue."

"I heard that the Soul Refining Sect, which had an agreement with Senior Lin Che in the past, also wishes to advance to a Six-Level Cultivation Country."

Li Qiqing frowned slightly.

The Suzaku Star was originally an abandoned Cultivation Star. Now, with the emergence of the Immortal Remnant Clan and Zhao Country as Six-Level Cultivation Countries, the resources of the Zhu Que Country would be greatly reduced.

If the Soul Refining Sect were to advance to a Six-Level Cultivation Country, it would definitely be detrimental to the resource allocation of the Suzaku Star, with no benefits whatsoever.

Moreover, as Zhu Quezi, Li Qiqing also had to consider the current cultivators of the entire Zhu Que Country; not just anyone could advance to a Six-Level Cultivation Country, right?

Li Qiqing stroked his chin, his gaze lingering on Yun Quezi, the Second Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Clan, and asked, "Senior Yun Quezi, what do you think?"

Yun Quezi said with a smile, "This is a matter for the Zhu Que Country to decide. This old man is powerless to help. Besides, this was promised by little brother Lin Che, and we can't go back on our word."

Li Qiqing lightly stroked his forehead.

He naturally understood that they couldn't go back on their word.

Moreover, this was decided by Senior Lin Che, who was also his brother-in-law, so how could he refuse?

Li Qiqing exhaled deeply, slowly stood up, and said, "I'll go see Wan'er and hear her thoughts."

The cultivators in the field naturally had nothing to say and turned to leave. After all, Li Muwan was Senior Lin Che's woman; looking at the entire Suzaku Star, she was definitely the foremost person… Six-Level Cultivation Country, Zhao Country.

Hengyue Sect.

Deep within a secluded bamboo forest.

Faint, ethereal music drifted slowly from afar, refreshing the heart and mind.

Through the window of the pavilion, one could see a female figure seated inside. She sat gracefully, with a guqin in front of her.

However, there was a thin curtain on the window, obscuring her detailed features.

Li Qiqing landed steadily on the ground. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the Great Demon Ancestor Leiji beside him.

"The Mistress is currently playing. Zhu Quezi should not enter this place."

"It's alright, Big Brother, please come in."

The琴 strings paused slightly. Li Muwan stepped out, looking at her brother, who had now become the Zhu Quezi of Suzaku Star. A soft emotion appeared on Li Muwan's exquisite face.

Li Qiqing walked towards Li Muwan and said with a smile, "The last time we parted was at Yun Tian Sect. I didn't expect that after so many years, our Wan'er has become so beautiful."

Li Muwan's small hand tidied the black hair by her ear and said softly, "Big Brother is joking. In front of you, Wan'er still likes to be the little girl who followed you everywhere."

"Senior Lei Ji, please prepare some tea."

The Great Demon Ancestor Leiji nodded and turned to leave, giving the Mistress and Zhu Quezi some private time together.

Li Qiqing sat on a chair, looking at his sister, who was still as beautiful as a flower, and said softly, "Wan'er, it seems you've broken through to the God Transformation Great Perfection realm. It won't be long before you should be able to break through to Infant Transformation."

Li Muwan sighed softly and said, "Perhaps. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the Six-Level Cultivation Country is abundant, and I still have the immortal jade left by my husband. It should help me break through my realm."

Li Qiqing looked at Li Muwan and said softly, "Wan'er, alchemy consumes a lot of mental energy. You should focus your thoughts on cultivation, not on alchemy."

Li Muwan, however, smiled bitterly. Her slender hand gently lifted, supporting the butterfly in front of her, and she said softly, "Big Brother, have you forgotten? My Intention is love…"

"With the intensity of love and affection, only by being with my husband can I have the motivation to cultivate… If it weren't for the need to take care of the cultivators here, I… truly wanted to leave Suzaku Star with my husband."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiqing felt a pang of sadness in his heart. How could he not know his sister's deep affection for Lin Che? It was just that in this cultivation world, love and responsibility were often difficult to balance.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiqing slowly spoke, "Wan'er, the situation on Suzaku Star is complex now. The Immortal Remnant Clan and Zhao Country have become Six-Level Cultivation Countries, and the Soul Refining Sect also intends to advance. Once the Soul Refining Sect succeeds, the resources of the Zhu Que Country will become even more strained. This concerns the balance of the entire Suzaku Star."

Li Muwan nodded gently, her beautiful eyes showing a thoughtful expression: "Big Brother, I understand your concerns. My husband has an agreement with the Soul Refining Sect. Forcibly blocking them might not be appropriate. But I also know the difficulties of the Zhu Que Country."

Her fingers unconsciously caressed the strings of the guqin, as if weighing the pros and cons, and she said softly, "Perhaps we can find another way, one that neither violates the agreement nor alleviates the pressure on the Zhu Que Country."

Just as she was speaking, Lei Ji walked in, carrying an ancient tea tray. The fragrant steam of tea wafted from the celadon cups.

Li Muwan gently touched the rim of the cup, took a shallow sip, and then smiled, "Actually, a few days ago, I spoke with the Third Elder of the Immortal Remnant Clan. They are quite interested in the Zhu Que Country's Spirit Gathering Formation."

"If Big Brother is willing to share the method for improving the formation diagram, perhaps we can use this as a bargaining chip to discuss resource allocation with the Immortal Remnant Clan and the Soul Refining Sect."

Li Qiqing rubbed the cup, a flicker of thought in his eyes: "This method is feasible, but the Immortal Remnant Clan has always been very proud and may not be willing to humble themselves."

"However, Wan'er's attainments in formations are always superior to Big Brother's. Perhaps only your husband could contend with you in that regard."

"Big Brother is teasing me again!"

Li Muwan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her fingertips plucked a series of light notes on the guqin strings.

"If he were here, why would we need to worry about these trivial matters? However, I received a jade slip message from him a few days ago, saying that he discovered the ruins of ancient cultivators deep within Kunxu, so he might not be back for a while."

Li Qiqing frowned slightly, but seeing the reassuring smile on Li Muwan's lips, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

The little girl who used to seek shelter under his wings had long since become capable of standing on her own, but that lingering concern always inadvertently showed through.
