"Has the Spiritual dicine planted by our family not matured yet?" Li Zhirui asked in surprise.
Li Shiqing explained the origin of the Spiritual dicine, and Li Zhirui instantly understood Shen Leishan’s intentions, scoffing as he said, "Playing a good ga of checks and balances."
"Those Yuanming Sect people aren’t fools either; they won’t make a move on the family in the short term." Unless the other party gave birth to another Golden Core cultivator, who felt capable of completely suppressing the Li family.
But how easy is it for a Golden Core cultivator to erge? The Li family had two Golden Cores appear in a short period of ti because of diversely favorable circumstances.
Li Zhirui nodded slightly, realizing that as long as the family wasn’t facing external pressure, he didn’t need to rush anymore and could travel at his leisure.
"I won’t ask any more, then. Take care of yourself."
Li Zhirui, looking sowhat embarrassed, smiled and said, "Uncle, do you still have any third-tier Talismans on hand? I’d like to exchange so Contribution Value for a few."
"A few?" Li Shiqing glared at him and said, "Do you think third-tier Talismans grow on trees? You ask for several as easily as asking for cabbages."
Even though Li Shiqing’s success rate in creating third-tier Talismans had increased quite a bit, the materials were rare and expensive, so weren’t they sothing that could be made so easily?
The third-tier Talismans he kept on hand were intended to save lives for people like Li Zhirui when they went out to travel.
"I’ll give you at most two Defensive Talismans," Li Shiqing regretfully said. "The difficulty of making an Escape Talisman is too high, otherwise one would be enough."
The challenge of crafting a third-tier Escape Talisman far exceeded any other third-tier Talisman, and the materials used were extrely precious. Even with the wealth of the Li family, only a few materials could be purchased each year.
Moreover, third-tier Escape Talismans were almost nonexistent on the market; the rare ones that appeared from major powers were quickly bought by others.
"That’s enough, thank you, Uncle!" Li Zhirui was overjoyed, not expecting to get two third-tier Defensive Talismans, which would greatly enhance the safety of his upcoming training experience!
"Alright, go and start refining the Foundation Establishnt Pills," he said before waving Li Zhirui off.
The Spiritual dicines required for Foundation Establishnt were not in Li Shiqing’s hands but stored in the warehouse behind the main hall. Fortunately, he had the Token and didn’t need to find Li Zhizhun; he could go in and take the Spiritual dicines himself.
However, as he was taking the Spiritual dicines and preparing to return to his courtyard, he ran into Li Zhizhun and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Zhirui, have you broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt?" Li Zhizhun asked in surprise.
Li Zhirui nodded. Since he had co out of seclusion this ti, he hadn’t concealed his cultivation level, which is why it was imdiately noticed.
"Great, great, great!" Li Zhizhun exclaid joyfully, "Cultivate well and break through to Golden Core as soon as possible, then we can obliterate Yuanming Sect!"
Hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusent and helplessness; his elder brother was always thinking about obliterating Yuanming Sect.
But judging by Shen Leishan’s tactics, even if they were to obliterate Yuanming Sect, Shen Leishan might support the rise of another Golden Core power.
Shaking his head, Li Zhirui stopped thinking about that distant matter and said, "Big brother, I’m about to start preparing to refine Foundation Establishnt Pills, so I’ll head back first."
"Alright, hard work pays off," Li Zhizhun said with a slight nod. He still had many things on his hands that needed to be taken care of.
With the growth of the family’s strength and the increase in the number of mbers, there were more and more issues for him to address. Had Li Zhizhun not established various specialized branches to alleviate so of the pressure, he probably wouldn’t have a few monts to rest all day.
With the Cleansing Dust Formation in place, even if the courtyard hadn’t been inhabited for years, it remained neat and clean, sparing Li Zhirui the need to tidy it up.

"It’s a pity." Looking at the Spiritual dicine that had sprouted anew in the courtyard, Li Zhirui lanted regretfully.
These Spiritual dicines had matured while he was in seclusion, but with no one to harvest them and without breaking through to a higher grade, they naturally withered, leaving behind seeds to take root and sprout again.
However, there were too many Spirit Seeds, causing the new Spiritual dicines in the few parts of the Spirit Field to grow very crowded. If Li Zhirui didn’t intervene, they would likely have to go through a fierce struggle to decide a winner.
Since the grade of these Spiritual dicines wasn’t high, Li Zhirui casually pulled so out and then left the matter alone.
After he had rested in the small courtyard for several days, he went out and began refining Foundation Establishnt Pills with the Spiritual dicine.
Although Li Zhirui had spent these years in seclusion, his Alchemy skills had not regressed.
However, the difficulty of refining Foundation Establishnt Pills was not low. Even though he had previously succeeded in refining them, he still failed a few tis before he successfully produced the first batch of Foundation Establishnt Pills.
"Two pills? Not bad." Despite the small number, Li Zhirui was very satisfied. Moreover, he still had six portions of ingredients left and, barring any accidents, should be able to produce around a dozen more Foundation Establishnt Pills.
To ensure he was in optimal condition, Li Zhirui didn’t rush to refine them all but instead kept five portions of Spiritual dicines and planned to refine them the next day.
Two days passed in a flash, and Li Zhirui successfully refined the last batch of Foundation Establishnt Pills, which gave him a pleasant surprise; he had actually produced four pills!
"Seven portions of ingredients yielded nineteen Foundation Establishnt Pills!" Li Zhirui smiled broadly, content with an unexpected bounty, saying, "With this, the family won’t be short of Foundation Establishnt Pills for a while."
As for the two Foundation Establishnt Pills he had kept aside earlier, Li Zhirui had originally planned to bring them out. But now that he had refined so many, he decided against it and instead to find an opportunity to sell them for so Spirit Stones.
After resting for another night, Li Zhirui, with his full harvest, went to find Li Shiqing, preparing to hand over the Foundation Establishnt Pills to him, then stay in the family for a few more days before going out to travel and seek an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core.
"Uncle, long ti no see." But unexpectedly, he ran into Li Zhixuan on his way.
Li Zhirui nodded, sizing her up and said with a smile, "It seems you’ve made quite the gains these years."
Although Li Zhixuan was still hovering in the early stages of Foundation Establishnt, her Mana was substantial and thick, perhaps a few more years would see a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui was very gratified. After all, this proved that he hadn’t made a mistake in his judgent, and his foresight was good.
As for how Li Zhixuan’s cultivation had improved so rapidly, it naturally had a lot to do with her desperation and dedication.
"Do you need sothing from ?" Seeing that she didn’t speak, Li Zhirui took the initiative to ask.
Li Zhixuan said, "When I was establishing my foundation, Uncle, you lent forty thousand Contribution Value. Now, I’m ready to repay part of it."
"Oh!" Li Zhirui suddenly rembered. He had forgotten many things during his seclusion and needed others to remind him.
"No hurry, you can take your ti to pay it back." After all, Contribution Value wasn’t of much use to him.
"I’ll repay ten thousand Contribution Value this ti and pay back the rest later. Please, Uncle, make a note of this debt."
Li Zhirui had no objections and took out a Jade Slip to record the matter.
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
