"Are you confident about your Foundation Establishnt?" Li Zhirui asked.
Li Zhixuan’s expression flickered, but it soon turned resolute as she nodded forcefully and said, "Yes! I’m certain I can succeed in Foundation Establishnt!"
"It’s good to have confidence, let’s go. We’ll head to the warehouse, and I’ll help you exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"But I don’t need your interest, and there’s no need to rush to repay ." Seeing her puzzled look, Li Zhirui said with a laugh, "Do I look like soone who takes advantage of people?"
Without waiting for Li Zhixuan to explain, he said, "Your successful Foundation Establishnt will strengthen the family’s power, and that is more important than anything."
He indeed had a substantial amount of Contribution Value on hand, after all the years spent refining Spirit Pills for the family and the thods he provided. Since he scarcely used them, his accumulation was naturally considerable.
If it were just about Contribution Value, there might be no one in the entire family with more than Li Zhirui.
In this matter, Li Zhirui’s attitude was the sa towards all family mbers; if you were confident about your Foundation Establishnt, he would lend the Contribution Value. After all, having so much Contribution Value had little use in his hands.
"Let’s go."
Li Zhirui took Li Zhixuan to the warehouse and used his Contribution Value to help her exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"Don’t lose it." After so thought, Li Zhirui added, "If you’re worried, you can entrust it to elder brother or Mrs. Ting for safekeeping."
"Thank you, Ninth Brother." Li Zhixuan, who hadn’t spoken since Li Zhirui agreed to help her, bowed to him solemnly.
"Work hard in your cultivation. Foundation Establishnt is just the starting point on the path of cultivation, don’t be satisfied with just this and halt your progress." Li Zhirui advised her before they parted ways.
Because the exchange for the Foundation Establishnt Pill wasn’t done in secret, the news quickly spread throughout the entire family, causing a buzz among the mbers.
"Ninth Brother, why did you lend so many Contribution Value to Zhixuan?" One day, while learning Alchemy from Li Zhirui, Li Zhiyue suddenly asked.
Li Zhirui’s brows lifted slightly as he replied, "Because she said she was confident about Foundation Establishnt, so I lent it to her."
"Ninth Brother, do you think..." Li Zhiyue paused and mustered the courage to ask, "Who do you think will achieve greater success in the future, her or ?"
Seeing the hopeful look in Li Zhiyue’s eyes, Li Zhirui smiled and said, "I don’t know; after all, no one can definitively claim to know another’s future."
"You have good talent and the family’s focused training, while Zhixuan has a good temperant and has to fight for everything herself. Both have their strengths and also their own shortcomings."
But in Li Zhirui’s heart, he still valued temperant more, perhaps because he himself had sufficient talent or perhaps because he had read too many cultivation novels in his previous life and believed that a firm Dao heart could take one further.
"Work hard in your cultivation. Who can be sure about the future? Don’t overthink it."
Li Zhiyue responded with a disheartened "oh," her deanor sowhat distracted.
Li Zhirui knew that she was still affected, after all, his earlier words had been quite clear in their aning. Read latest chapters on .Côm
"If you know your shortcomings, then strive to overco and improve them. Moping like this, how does that look?"
Li Zhirui frowned and said sternly, "This is my compiled Alchemy experience; take a look when you have ti. I won’t be coming over anymore."
With that, he placed a Jade Slip down and turned to leave.
Li Zhiyue was a good person in all respects but was overprotected by the family, making her sowhat soft and prone to overthinking.
After leaving, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but sigh, hoping that his words wouldn’t lead to her becoming dejected.
But if she truly was that fragile, even with her talent and the family’s resources poured into her training, she would not break through to Golden Core.
Moreover...
Li Zhirui thought of Li Shiting hiding outside the back door; if anything unexpected occurred, Mrs. Ting would surely be able to advise her in ti.

The news about lending Contribution Value to help Li Zhixuan exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill spread far and wide, eventually reaching almost all family mbers.
Li Zhirui was not affected by this and was even looking forward to soone coming to inquire or to ask him for Contribution Value.
Unfortunately, until several months later when he was about to leave Da Rong Island, no family mber ca to him.
"Co back soon." Having said everything necessary before, when the ti to send Li Zhirui off arrived, there were only these four short words.
"Don’t worry, I will return safely!"
After speaking, he patted the Cangfeng Hawk beneath him and said, "Let’s go."
The giant hawk spread its wings and soared instantly, turning into a re speck that disappeared from the gazes of those watching below.

Great Void Province was not far from Da Rong Island, just two to three thousand miles away in a straight line. However, given that this place was chaotic, the family had never thought to develop here, so they did not know much about it.
Of course, there wasn’t much to know. This was a breeding ground filled with blood and slaughter.
Great Void Province served as the furnace, where countless cultivators acted as Gu Insects, fighting each other to eventually cultivate a few strong Gu Insects that could leap out of the furnace to beco onlookers.
"Kid, hand over your storage bag, and that Cangfeng Hawk you’re riding on, and I might spare your life!"
A boisterous voice snapped Li Zhirui out of his thoughts, and he looked with interest at the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators in front of him, one tall and thin, the other short and fat.
He wasn’t surprised that soone would try to rob him on the road; after all, this was Great Void Province. He just hadn’t expected it to happen so soon – he had just set foot on the land of Great Void Province.
"You dumb kid, the boss is talking to you! Are you mute?" The tall, thin Loose Cultivator, resembling a bamboo pole, beca infuriated when he saw Li Zhirui remained silent and was even examining him from top to bottom.
