"When do you plan to hold the banquet, big brother?" Li Zhirui asked.
Just like his previous breakthrough, the banquet was both a celebration and the handing over and transmission of responsibilities. As the main character, Li Zhizhun naturally wanted to ask for his opinion.
"I’m fine with any ti." Li Zhizhun smiled casually; his Spirit Beast did not continue to breakthrough after Foundation Establishnt, so he didn’t need to watch over it.
Of course, it had also made no small progress, perhaps it could breakthrough again in a year or two.
"How about in nine days then?" Li Zhirui thought for a mont and said, "Just in ti for these few days, I will pass on to big brother the Foundation Establishnt Realm techniques of the ’Wanling Sutra’ and the Visualization Skill, the ’Divine Turtle Ocean-Suppressing Chart’."
Currently, in the Li family, only two people are qualified to transmit the ’Wanling Sutra’: one is Li Shiqing, and the other is the transmission elder Li Shiting. Li Zhirui, because he was only acting as Clan Leader, did not have this qualification.
In fact, he was qualified, but he needed to learn that Sealing Skill. Li Zhirui tried to learn it and discovered his talent in this area was diocre, so he decisively gave up.
Moreover, it was exactly when he had just broken through recently, and with ti being tight, he really did not have spare ti to learn a new thod.
As for the ’Divine Turtle Calming the Sea Chart’, it was in Li Zhirui’s possession.
"Okay," Li Zhizhun nodded, and then said, "Tell about what the family needs to do now, so there won’t be any mishaps when I take over."
Since Li Zhizhun would soon beco the Clan Leader, Li Zhirui told him all the family secrets that he hadn’t known before, including the two Foundation Establishnt Spiritual dicines on the family’s Spirit dicine Mountain and their execution of a Golden Core walking corpse, among others.

"So that’s how it is!" Li Zhizhun had sensed sothing was amiss before, but he didn’t expect such astonishing news.
Li Zhizhun said with anticipation, "With the enlightennt you all brought back, Uncle should be able to breakthrough soon."
Li Zhirui was also full of expectation. However, Li Shiqing had been in seclusion for several years now without any sign of progress, which unavoidably made one feel sowhat anxious.
Throughout the day, Li Zhirui told Li Zhizhun everything that needed to be said. The rest could be discussed later.
The next day, Li Zhizhun went to the Scripture Pavilion and received the Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivation technique of the ’Wanling Sutra’ from Li Shiting.
He absorbed it faster than Li Zhirui; that’s because Li Zhizhun did not look through the last part of the inheritance that consisted of knowledge of second-order Devil Beasts, unlike Li Zhirui, who found Devil Beasts interesting and took the ti to read through it.
Several days later, at dusk, the family mbers in the Marketplace had all returned to Da Rong Island to attend the banquet for Li Zhizhun’s Foundation Establishnt.
It was only when they had returned that the preparation of Spirit Food for the banquet began, as the family’s only two Spirit Chefs were at Cloudtop Pavilion.
Furthermore, as the family grew stronger day by day, this banquet was to be even more abundant than Li Zhirui’s previous one, with all sorts of Spirit Fruits and Spirit Foods laid across nurous tables, making all the attending family mbers very happy.
"Today’s banquet is to celebrate the birth of the sixth Foundation Establishnt cultivator in our family!"
Before the banquet officially started, Li Zhirui stood up and said, "Also, I announce once again that Li Zhizhun will take over as Clan Leader, leading the family towards prosperity and strength!"
The family mbers had anticipated this, so Li Zhirui’s announcent did not surprise everyone too much, but they clapped warmly to celebrate Li Zhizhun becoming the new Clan Leader.
Then Li Zhizhun stood up to speak, roughly saying that he would deal with family affairs well and lead the family towards greater strength.
"I announce that the banquet is officially underway!" Li Zhizhun declared with a sweeping gesture, imdiately t with a round of cheers.
After three rounds of drinks, the ground was littered with remnants of food, the scene in complete disarray; but these leftovers made excellent feed for the Spirit Earthworms, and soone would duly collect them afterward.
Thanks to the prior handover between Li Zhirui and Li Zhizhun, once he officially beca the Clan Leader, Li Zhirui simply washed his hands of the matter altogether.
Moreover, Li Zhirui did not hold the position of an Elder, so he did not have to attend the family etings and stayed shut in his room, dedicated to cultivating or trying to modify the Hundred Herbs Pill.
With another round of power transition in the Li family, the news of Li Zhizhun becoming the new Clan Leader quickly spread throughout Yunping State.
"How many years has it been? The Li family has actually produced another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, this speed is just too fast, isn’t it?" a Loose Cultivator exclaid with surprise and envy.
"It really is good to have a family supporting you, unlike us Loose Cultivators who run around everywhere, risking life and death, and yet only obtain such ager resources, with no chance at even breaking through to Foundation Establishnt in the end."
Following the spreading of news about Li Zhizhun’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt, a significant commotion ensued in Yunping State, with discussions about the Li family everywhere, most Cultivators feeling a strong sense of envy and jealousy.
As for the affiliated families under the Yuanming Sect, they had long given up on the idea of dealing with the Li family. With the Yuanming Sect present, the Li family wouldn’t arbitrarily make a move against them, aside from the Zheng and Jiang families that bore old grudges.
Unfortunately, these two families lacked successors; not having produced another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator in recent years, even if both families joined forces, they only had five Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, not enough to contend with the Li family.
These two families also understood that, as the Li family’s strength continually grew, their situation would beco increasingly perilous. So, a few years ago, they had already started sending mbers out to search for a new settlent.
Alas, Spirit Veins, such essential resources, were hard to find in the wilderness, and with the expeditions from both families being small in number, and taking place outside the familiar territories of Yunping State, they had yet to find a suitable Spirit Vein for settlent.
They could only continue to live in unease within their clan lands, dreading the day the Li family might co knocking, and even though it had been nearly ten years and the Li family had shown no signs of action, they remained uneasy.

"Da Qing, why haven’t you broken through yet?" Li Zhirui watched the leisurely Da Qing and couldn’t help but speak up.
To keep Da Qing from falling too far behind him, Li Zhirui had invested countless resources, yet Da Qing was still at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.
While Da Qing’s cultivation speed had already surpassed that of many Devil Beasts and Spirit Beasts, Li Zhirui was still sowhat dissatisfied since he was waiting for Da Qing’s breakthrough to go on travels.
Squeak!
Da Qing, however, was not in a hurry at all, knowing that he would inevitably break through to Foundation Establishnt soday; it was rely a matter of ti.
The cultivation level of Devil Beasts is closely linked to their rank. Take Da Qing for example, a third-rank Qingxuan Turtle—with sufficient resources and barring mid-journey death, he would inevitably break through to the second rank and there was a good chance of progressing to the third rank.
Of course, rank does not determine everything. Just as with the quality of a Cultivator’s Spiritual Root, the higher the rank, the better the innate quality, and the higher the likelihood of advancing to higher levels.
"You lazy thing!" Li Zhirui muttered helplessly, but he could do nothing else except feed Da Qing more Spiritual Objects, accelerating the accumulation of Mana inside his body and encouraging him to break through sooner.
As for the effectiveness, well, having so was certainly better than none!
