Chapter 304: Personnel Change, Rainbow Rebirth (Seeking Full Order)
Li Qing returned to Qinghe Valley and went to Li Yu's cave first.

At this time, the other senior executives of the Li family had all left, only Li Hui and Li Yao remained.

Seeing Li Qing coming, Li Yu and Li Hui stood up to greet him.

Li Yao knelt on the mat motionlessly, his eyes a little dazed.

"How's the matter?" Li Yu asked softly.

Li Qing nodded: "No future troubles."

Hearing this, Li Hui's face turned pale and he sighed deeply: "Alas!"

"It hurts so much!" Li Yao cried out in pain, covered his chest and fell to the ground, two lines of tears flowing silently.

Li Qing knew why he was so sad.

Li Zhe is the only one among Li Yao's elder brother's descendants who has the aptitude to practice cultivation. The two brothers have a deep relationship, and the other even died to save him.

Li Zhe said that he was his nephew's great-grandson, but in fact, he was no different from his biological great-grandson. Because of the guilt in his heart, the relationship was even deeper.

The reason why Li Zhe joined Yanling Valley was also inseparable from Li Yao's support. After all, the stage of the Jindan Sect is much broader than the small Qi training family of the Li family.

Li Qing let him feel sad for a while before he said softly, "Since the elder is old, you should enjoy your old age in the clan."

Li Yao looked at him quietly, and nodded after a long while: "Okay! I have already signed the secret contract, so don't worry about me leaking the secret."

"Please seal my memory. The pain of losing a loved one is really tormenting me, an old man..."

Li Zhe is dead, but he still has descendants who still have to rely on their family for living.

Li Zhe's reckless act of informing on the secret also broke the old man's heart.

Li Qing nodded and pointed with one finger. The "Wu You Xuan Jing" turned into a hazy halo and tampered with Li Yao's consciousness.

After a while, Li Hui helped Li Yao out of the cave.

Li Qingze and Li Yu sat opposite each other and began to review their experiences over the past few days.

"When Zhang Ruoyun and the others were here, we were very respectful and didn't neglect them at all. They shouldn't suspect the Li family."

"When I was fighting, I only used water-related abilities the whole time. I had never used them in front of anyone before, so I didn't worry about anyone making any connections."

Li Yu listened and pondered, his heart slowly relaxing: "It's a deliberate plan, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Li Qing then asked about the result of the family meeting.

"Everyone agreed to Li Yao's abdication. Even the Second Elder took the initiative to propose handing over the responsibility to a few young and strong newcomers."

Li Yu said: "The Third Elder was bullied by the old man and had no choice but to bite the bullet and submit his resignation."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Oh! This is something I had not expected. But the Second Elder has always been a man of high moral character, this is something he can do."

He paused before asking, "What about the clan leader? How did he express his opinion?"

Li Yu sighed: "It seems that he has become discouraged. He offered to abdicate. The problem is that there is really no suitable candidate now."

"This matter is indeed tricky." Li Qing nodded.

Since the Qinghe Valley Li family founded its business, it has had many branches, but the positions of clan leader and great elder have always been passed down in the main line.

Li Yao, Li Hui, and Li Zhe are all descendants of the main lineage, and their lineage has always been very powerful in the clan.

If Li Qing or Li Yu had a suitable younger generation, they could use the prestige of the foundation-building ancestors to forcibly promote him.

Unfortunately not.

"I remember that the clan leader has a nephew who has now reached the eighth level of Qi training?" Li Qing pondered for a moment.

Li Yu thought about it and said, "But his potential is limited. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to break through the ninth level of Qi training. In this case, he can't take over the position of clan leader." Li Qing smiled and said, "I have a few ways to help him grow faster. It depends on whether he is willing to do it."

"Why wouldn't he be willing?" Li Yu clapped his hands. "He didn't have a chance to break through in the first place. Now that there's a shortcut, he definitely won't refuse."

The two men finalized the arrangements for the succession of the clan leader and revised the clan leader's duties and powers.

Originally as the head of the family, he can only be a butler in the future, doing some work such as passing orders and coordinating various parties, and he is just representing the Li family externally.

The lifetime tenure of the patriarch was also abolished. From now on, the family will elect a patriarch every 20 years, and he can be re-elected for a maximum of two terms.

"As for the current one, let him take over the position of the grand elder." Li Qing made the final decision.

After all, the main vein has a deep foundation. If it is not handled properly, the Li family will easily become unstable.

Li Qing and Li Yu both took a step back, waiting for their close juniors to grow up, and then gradually took over the key positions.

Of course, Li Yu would not steal Li Qing's limelight. After all, apart from repaying his gratitude, Li Qing still had four contracted elves in the foundation-building stage.

He turned his gaze towards Hexi, where there was a sleeping crystal banyan tree, another foundation-building fighting force.

*
A few months later, Li Hui's nephew Li Xu unexpectedly advanced to the ninth level of Qi training.

After three refusal and three declines, Li Wei officially took over the position of clan leader, while Li Hui became the chief elder.

The original first elder Li Yao, second elder Li Fang, and third elder Li Ye all took the initiative to offer to step down and be replaced by younger and more capable family leaders.

The people in the main branch were originally worried, but they were relieved after seeing this.

The first thing the new clan leader Li Wei did after taking over was to preside over Li Zhe's funeral.

As the first foundation-building cultivator in the family, Li Zhe's greatest contribution was to act as a slight deterrent when the Zhang and Chen families targeted the Li family.

It seems insignificant now, but more than ten years ago, it was the beginning of the Li family's turn from danger to safety.

Over in Yanling Valley, even though Master Qingyan was about to form his elixir, he couldn't spare anyone, and his disciples were also unable to come.

But Li Zhe's fellow disciples still brought back a lot of resources for cultivation.

The new second elder Li Yun made a brief calculation and found that the amount of spirit stones was slightly more than what the Li family had spent on Li Zhe.

Along with Li Zhe's body came his two children with his maid, the older one was only three years old, and the younger one was only one year old.

Li Qing did not argue with the children and handed them over to Li Yao, who was enjoying his retirement.

If in two years, this child is found to have a spiritual root of medium quality or above, the Li family will also treat him equally and cultivate him.

If not, the child will be sent to the Li family's mortal village and raised by other members of the clan.

When Li Zhe's rainbow transformation ceremony was held, the entire Qinghe Valley was hung with white banners, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified, with mournful music playing in the background.

After everyone said goodbye to his body one by one according to their closeness to him, Li Qing lit the firewood with spiritual fire.

The flames burned fiercely, helping Li Zhe to pass away.

In the family ancestral hall, the genealogy that recorded the family tree of the cultivators appeared in the sky.

A light gray mist diffused out from it, and the page with Li Zhe's name on it automatically turned out.

Above, the originally gilded flying fire's name gradually dimmed and was finally covered with a layer of shadow.

A wisp of green smoke rose from the rainbow-colored ashes and slowly drifted towards the name, leaving a faint mark on it.

Just like the final word, the short life of the first foundation-building cultivator born in the Li family came to an end.
