Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 395 Fighting
"Is Young Master Qin here to offer congratulations, or does he have other important business?"

After seeing his daughter off, Li Qianxiong kept his eyes fixed on Qin Zhengyi.

The foundation-building ceremony was fraught with setbacks, which infuriated him.

If it's just some petty scoundrels causing trouble, it's not a cause for concern, since they can't harm Li Xiangming in the slightest.
These people dared to lay a hand on Li Xiangping, which undoubtedly touched a raw nerve.

At this moment, all that bullshit about being the head of the family is a lie.

He wants to personally oversee things here and see who dares to cause trouble again.

Upon seeing Li Qianxiong step onto the stage, Qin Zhengyi's gaze turned serious. The head of the Li family had been immersed in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for many years, and he was not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, his page chimed in, "My young master has naturally come to offer his congratulations."

"How dare you! Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Li Xiangming flicked his finger, and a cold glint flew out.

The pageboy's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated, but a powerful aura pressed down on him like Mount Tai, pinning him firmly to the spot.

In the nick of time, Qin Zhengyi flicked his sleeve, concealing the cold light within.

But at this moment, Li Xiangming stepped forward, like a surging, boundless ocean. Qin Zhengyi's expression became even more solemn as he stood in front of the pageboy, like an unbreakable reef, unmoved by the raging storm.

Seeing that he couldn't shake his opponent, Li Xiangming hardened his heart and, disregarding the depletion of his magical power, piled up his aura to its peak.

Qin Zhengyi was not to be outdone, and the magical power on both of them surged continuously, forming a huge vortex of magical power around them in a short time.

The cultivators watching from below the stage were all shocked. Those who were slightly closer to the front could not withstand the pressure and began to retreat.

"The future is terrifying!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but sigh as she watched this scene.

Hua Lun, standing next to him, was also constantly rubbing the jade thumb ring on his thumb, his feelings complicated.

These two juniors have only just established their foundations, yet they already possess such magical power. What will they be like when they advance to the mid-Foundation stage?

On the other side, Geng Shiheng stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the stage.

Qin Zhengyi's Foundation Establishment was a major blow to him, meaning that there were significant loopholes in the family's intelligence work on the Qin family.

However, the Qin family has a deep foundation, and its Zheng generation is no younger than the Geng family's Shi generation and the Li family's Xiang generation. It is strange that no Foundation Establishment cultivator has emerged from them so far.

Therefore, Qin Zhengyi's foundation building was unexpected, but also reasonable.

However, unlike Qin Zhengyi, whom he was completely unfamiliar with, Geng Shiheng had dealt with Li Xiangming many times.

While at Puyin Mountain, he and Geng Shizhe even fought with Li Xiangming.

At that time, Li Xiangming showed remarkable cunning and even captured him, but in terms of strength, Li Xiangming was at most on par with him, not to mention Geng Shizhe.

But from some point onwards, Li Xiangming's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving him and Shi Zhe far behind. Now, not only has he already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but the depth of his magical power also far exceeds his imagination.

Clenching his fist, a hint of resentment flashed in Geng Shiheng's eyes.

He has already tried so hard, so why is there still such a big gap?

Geng Chengjie sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.
-
Below Phoenix Cry Tower, thousands of cultivators held their breath, awaiting the outcome of the duel between the two.

But as time ticked by, the two on stage remained deadlocked, and Li Qianxiong, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, Li Xiangming's magical power had exceeded his expectations.

This is completely unlike the performance expected of a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, Qin Zhengyi's magical power surpassed that of Li Xiangming.

No matter how hard Li Xiangming tried, he couldn't overwhelm his opponent with momentum. If this dragged on, they would probably have to settle things with their fighting skills.

However, given their special status, a fight between the two would likely ignite a conflict between the Qin and Li families.

Just as Li Qianxiong was struggling with his decision, a middle-aged scholar flew over lightly and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Li, on this joyous occasion, why not persuade them to stop fighting and make peace?"

Li Qianxiong glanced at the other person: "Liu Shiyin, when did you arrive?"

Liu Shiyin chuckled: "I just arrived and I've already stumbled upon a major show, but it seems there's not much point in continuing this show?"

Li Qianxiong remained silent in thought.

Seeing this, Liu Shiyin looked at Qin Zhengyi and said earnestly, "Nephew Zhengyi, please think it over. As the saying goes, guests should follow the host's lead. This is, after all, the Li family's territory. How can you let the guest usurp the host's place?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengyi pondered the matter and ultimately took a step back.

Li Xiangming also received a look from Li Qianxiong and gradually withdrew his magic power.

Seeing the two separate, Liu Shiyin quickly stepped forward and stood between them, smiling and saying, "Both of you are exceptional talents, one in a hundred years. You should cherish each other. A little misunderstanding is nothing. In the future, we will need to rely on you to protect the peace of my Pu County."

Qin Zhengyi looked at Li Xiangming and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Young Master Nineteen is highly skilled, I admire him."

"The Fourth Young Master's magical powers are profound, which I greatly admire."

Li Xiangming replied casually.

In terms of magical power, he was indeed no match for Qin Zhengyi. Although he still had the Returning Void Rune on his body, he estimated that Qin Zhengyi had entered the Foundation Establishment stage at least two or three years ago.

The magical power within this person should be comparable to that of Li Xiangren.

However, no cultivator would rely solely on magic power to fight enemies. Only by using magic power in magical artifacts, spells, and other means can a cultivator's true combat strength be determined to the greatest extent!

With the help of the Enlightenment Spring, he mastered the famous skills of Fairy Green Cloud, and possessed the top-grade magic weapon, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Heaven Rope. In addition, the Black Water Serpent was also eyeing him covetously.

If a fight were to break out, he would not be afraid of his opponent.

Moreover, this is the Li family's home turf. Li Qianxiong and the others did not make a move because they did not want to gain a bad reputation for bullying the weak in front of everyone.

But when it really comes down to life and death, who cares about these things?

If Qin Zhengyi refuses to back down, he will only suffer the consequences.

However, Li Xiangming did not want to escalate the situation. He arranged for the Geng family to take the lead while he provided support from behind.

Eliminating Qin Zhengyi here would make the Li family's revenge against the Qin family head-on.

The Geng family must be laughing in their sleep.

His strong stance was solely aimed at saving face for the Li family.

Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could urinate at his Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangming glanced at the pageboy behind Qin Zhengyi.

The pageboy felt a chill run through his body and couldn't help but tremble.

"Ah Wang, why aren't you bringing out the congratulatory gift yet?"

This time, Qin Zhengyi did not help the page boy block Li Xiangming's imposing manner, but instead gave instructions.

The page boy, enduring the chill, approached Li Xiangming with trepidation and presented a jade box with both hands: "This is a congratulatory gift prepared by my young master. I hope the nineteenth young master will accept it."

Li Xiangming stared at him expressionlessly, without moving.

The pageboy gritted his teeth and knelt down on both knees: "Please accept this, Young Master Nineteen."
