Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 228 - 234: The Trade

Li Zhixuan gave him a Spiritual dicine called the Millet Dream Fruit, which, although only a second-grade Spiritual dicine, had a powerful function: it could construct a ’real’ dream world.

For example, if Li Zhirui consud this fruit, after falling asleep, he would be able to create any Spiritual dicine he desired in the dream world, and even try his hand at refining Spirit Pills.

Of course, due to its grade limitation, the higher the cultivation of the cultivator who consud the fruit, the weaker the effect would be. If a Foundation Establishnt cultivator took it, they might be able to maintain the dream for an hour, but for Golden Core Realm cultivators, it would likely only last for two or three-quarters of an hour.

Moreover, if the cultivator’s will was not firm enough, it was very possible that they would be unable to distinguish between reality and the dream world.

Besides these reasons, another reason why Li Zhirui did not accept this fruit was that the Millet Dream Fruit had no seeds and could not be cultivated artificially.

To date, no one had figured out how the Millet Dream Fruit reproduced. If one wanted to obtain it, they could only stumble upon it by chance.

And this was one of the reasons why it was so expensive.

"This doesn’t have much use for ; you should take it yourself." Li Zhirui forcefully stuffed the Jade Box back into Li Zhixuan’s hands and said, "When your cultivation reaches Foundation Establishnt Perfection, you can try using the Millet Dream Fruit to break through your bottleneck."

Given Li Zhixuan’s temperant, it was unlikely that she would have trouble distinguishing between reality and the Illusionary Realm. Experience tales with .Côm

"If you feel uncomfortable about it, you can give a third-grade Spiritual Object after you break through to the Golden Core Realm."

When Li Zhirui said this, he only ant to comfort her and lift her spirits, but he never expected that one day, he would receive an even greater surprise.

"Go back, I still have things to do." Seeing that she remained silent, Li Zhirui helplessly shook his head and walked straight into his cave dwelling.

For the next several months, Li Zhirui was imrsed in comprehending those two third-grade Pill Recipes in his cave dwelling.

At first glance, he had felt that the difficulty of refining the Spirit Pills was extrely high, as not only did the Spiritual dicine require multiple refinents, but the Alchemy spells were also exceedingly complex.

Especially the Essence-Enhancing Pill, which had to be made using the Nurturing Pill Skill, otherwise, it would not have such a potent effect.

Li Zhirui simulated the process countless tis in his Sea of Consciousness, until he felt sowhat confident, before he finally began the actual alchemy process.

Over twenty kinds of Spiritual dicine, including three precious third-grade Spiritual dicines — just purifying the impurities from these dicines had taken over an hour!

He then infused the essence of the Spiritual dicine into the Pill Furnace. His ten fingers danced, rging the essences one after another. Simultaneously, he had to use his Divine Sense to monitor the process, to spot any trouble imdiately.

But even with such caution, Li Ruirui still made a mistake!

While fusing a certain essence, because the speed was slightly too fast, it led to a conflict among the essences, causing them to scatter instantly.

Facing this failure, Li Zhirui was quite composed. Honestly, making it to the last few Spiritual dicines before failing was already beyond his expectations!

Li Zhirui set aside the previously refined Spiritual dicines, rested for a while, and then continued his attempts at the alchemical process.

Yet, until a month later, after having used up all the Spiritual dicines at his disposal, he was still a long way from successfully refining a Spirit Pill.

Luckily, Li Zhirui consistently made progress. From initially rging the essences of Spiritual dicines to now being able to combine all of them without error.

Though he was still several steps away from successfully refining a Spirit Pill, and how many more attempts and how much more Spiritual dicine would be needed to overco those steps was unknown.

He estimated that it would take at least nearly a hundred more attempts before he could possibly succeed!

"Ah, who knows how many Spiritual dicines the family has managed to procure during this ti," Li Zhirui sighed helplessly. Without Spiritual dicines, he had to give up on producing and turned to start deducing in his Sea of Consciousness.

He had waited half a month before finally receiving a batch of Spiritual dicines, but there were only ten Golden Earth Fruits, which were critical. Li Zhirui only took a few days to use them all up.

When Li Zhizhun heard that the Spiritual dicines were used up again, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "No wonder Zhirui specifically insisted on the difficulty of producing a third-tier Spirit Pill."

However, they had no choice but to arrange for clan mbers to go to Green Mountain State to buy the lacking Spiritual dicines.

——

"Senior must be a mber of the Li family from Da Rong Island, right?" said a potbellied Foundation Establishnt cultivator respectfully in the Southern Edge Hall.

Li Shiqing, who had already purchased Spiritual dicines and was preparing to return to Da Rong Island, frowned slightly. He had deliberately concealed his cultivation level and appearance, so how did this Foundation Establishnt cultivator recognize his identity?

"Information about the Li family isn’t hard to co by. Previously, your noble clan purchased a Pill Recipe for the Essence-Enhancing Pill, and, indeed, the Golden Earth Fruit is one of the main ingredients," the Foundation Establishnt explained.

With an unflustered expression, Li Shiqing asked, "You’re telling all this because you need sothing from , right?"

"It is said that there is a genius Alchemist in the Li family, and I presu he is currently producing Essence-Enhancing Pills? We can provide Spiritual dicines without charge until he produces the Essence-Enhancing Pills. However, from then on, any Essence-Enhancing Pills produced can only be sold to our Southern Edge Comrce Association."

The Southern Edge Comrce Association is an outside force. If all Spiritual Objects had to be transported from other continents, then the cost would be too high and the profit would greatly diminish!

Faced with this situation, their solution was to form alliances with nearby forces as much as possible, to be self-sufficient within the East Continent, and to reduce dependence on the headquarters of the comrce association.

Above all Spiritual Objects, Spirit Pills are of paramount importance!

And in the vicinity of Green Mountain State, Li Zhirui, a second-tier Alchemist in the Golden Core Realm, was soone they were strongly eager to win over.

"This matter is of great significance, I need to discuss it with my family before I can give an answer," Li Shiqing thought for a while. He didn’t imdiately refuse, nor did he directly agree.

The conditions offered by the Southern Edge Comrce Association were very tempting, potentially saving the family nearly a million Spirit Stones, but the promises of Shen Leishan and Xuanfa Pavilion were colossal entities that the Li family couldn’t ignore.

"Then, I will wait for the Senior’s good news!" Having said that, the Foundation Establishnt cultivator bowed and slowly withdrew.

After Li Shiqing returned to Da Rong Island, he imdiately called together Li Zhirui, Li Shilian, and others, and laid out the promises and conditions of the Southern Edge Comrce Association.

"What do you think, should we agree?"

Li Shilian was the first to speak, "As long as this matter isn’t leaked, it would be an exceedingly beneficial deal for the family."

It was clear that he was in favor of it.

Li Zhizhun, however, was much more cautious, worried that if Shen Leishan and Xuanfa Pavilion found out, it could lead to a disaster for the family!

These two colossal entities surely wouldn’t notice the Li family, but Yuanming Sect in the vicinity might have arranged countless eyes to spy on the Li family.

"Let’s agree to it," Li Zhirui shook his head, "The difficulty of producing a third-tier Spirit Pill is too high. To produce Spirit Pills, I’ll need over a hundred batches of Spirit Materials, and it’s impossible for the family to supply that many Spiritual dicines for to practice with."

"However, my older brother also makes sense, we must be extrely careful with this matter and not give Yuanming Sect the slightest handle!"

Although Li Zhirui practiced Water Refining Alchemy, when Southern Edge Comrce Association starts selling the Essence-Enhancing Pills, they would undoubtedly beco suspicious of him.
