"You’re back?" The mont they landed on the island, Li Shilian flew out to greet them, instantly noticing the unstable auras of the two and Da Qing.
It was understandable for Da Qing to have just broken through, but what had happened to Li Shiqing and Li Zhirui?
"What happened?"
Li Zhirui imdiately recounted their experiences, and concluded with a smile, "We all made it back safely, no need to worry."
The incident had passed, and while it was sowhat dangerous, it had not been too serious, so Li Shilian had nothing more to say except, "I’m glad you’re alright."
"You’ve just been through a big battle. Hurry back and rest."
"Then I’ll be taking my leave," Li Zhirui said without further ado, and turned to depart.
The mana Da Qing had transferred to him after its third-stage breakthrough was still being suppressed by him; he needed to refine it as soon as possible.
After returning to his cave dwelling, Li Zhirui let Xiaoqing out and said to Da Qing, "From now on, you’ll need to take charge of disciplining Xiaoqing. Make sure he doesn’t slack off all the ti, causing his cultivation to stagnate."
"Da Qing has just broken through to the third stage. You should make an effort too. I don’t expect you to reach his level anyti soon, but at least try to break through to the late second stage!"
He didn’t set expectations before because Xiaoqing’s progress wasn’t sufficient, but over these three years, it had reached perfection. However, since Da Qing was breaking through and he himself was busy making Essence-Enhancing Pills, he didn’t have much energy left to supervise Xiaoqing, who was still at the mid-second stage.
"Don’t worry, I will keep Xiaoqing in line."
Da Qing quickly agreed to this, but Xiaoqing, who was used to being free, looked crestfallen.
Yet, with the forceful pressure from both Li Zhirui and Da Qing, he had no room to resist.
After taking out so spiritual objects necessary for cultivation, Li Zhirui entered the ditation chamber to concentrate on refining the mana.
During his seclusion, several major events happened in the Li family!
Firstly, Li Zhizhun had officially decided to resign as Clan Leader, and the successor was confird to be Li Chengmo.
Over the years, with the family’s resources poured into him, Li Chengmo had smoothly broken through Foundation Establishnt. Moreover, after years of following Li Zhizhun, he had learnt everything he needed to.
And as early as a year ago, Li Zhizhun let him try handling family affairs. Not only did no mistakes occur, but he also did very well.
This matter didn’t cause any uproar in the family, as it was already widely known.
The day Li Zhizhun stepped down, Li Zhirui was still in seclusion, so he couldn’t attend, but all the clan mbers were present.
Li Zhizhun, who had worked for the family for decades, was no longer as youthful as before.
When the treasure seal and the roster symbolizing the Clan Leader were handed over to Li Chengmo, Li Zhizhun showed a relieved smile, patted his shoulder, and said, "From now on, the hard work will be yours!"
"I will definitely do my utmost for the developnt of the family!" Li Chengmo promised in front of all the clansn.
Apart from that, during the first talent identification conference since Li Chengmo took office, several children with promising aptitudes were discovered.
Perhaps it was a good on, or perhaps it was pure coincidence, but after many years, the appearance of dual spiritual roots, which hadn’t been seen in the family, had finally erged!
This female child from the ’Cheng’ generation was nad Li Chenghui, with a Fire-Wood Dual Spirit Root, and her Fire Spirit Root’s purity was as high as seventy.
Apart from her, there were several other clan mbers with high purity Three Spiritual Roots, as well as a boy with a special Spiritual Body, who had a Fire-Wood-Earth Three Spiritual Root and was nad Li Chengrong, possessing a Heavy Earth Spirit Body.
The ergence of these outstanding young ones compensated for the lack of successors in the Li family’s Cheng-generation and also allowed Li Shiqing and others to see the hope that each generation of the Li family could give birth to Golden Core cultivators.
As for whether they could et their expectations, that would depend on the young ones themselves.
Days and nights passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
Li Zhirui, who had been in seclusion all this ti, had finally, after this period of arduous cultivation, refined that mass of mana and rged it into his Golden Core.
Even though he had anticipated this, he was still shocked by the sheer amount of mana!
Without delving into excessive details, just ntioning that it saved him four years of cultivation ti was enough to illustrate the abundance of mana and the depth of Da Qing’s accumulation.
This was a benefit enjoyed only by those cultivators who practiced the Wanling Sutra! Although raising a Contracted Spirit Beast could consu a lot of resources, the benefits were also considerable.
"If Xiaoqing also had such a foundation, that would be great," after saying this, Li Zhirui shook his head, knowing clearly in his heart that this was impossible.
Not to ntion Xiaoqing’s temperant, who simply could not endure loneliness, even considering his own circumstances, it was impossible for him to accumulate such a vast amount of mana.
Li Zhirui walked out of the ditation chamber to find Xiaoqing ditating with closed eyes, while Da Qing was beside him, staring at Xiaoqing while inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy.
He did not disturb them, but looked at Da Qing, contemplating how to help him further evolve his bloodline.
Even though the Thunder Tribulation had purified his bloodline, it was far from reaching the level needed to promote his rank, aning he was still a third-grade Spirit Beast.
And with Da Qing’s current level of cultivation, he had reached the limit of his bloodline. To continue breaking through and beco a fourth-grade was extraordinarily difficult, even with Li Zhirui’s help. Experience new tales on Freewebnovel
If looked at from an even longer perspective, once Da Qing’s rank reached fourth-grade, there would be no path forward for him!
Because the progenitor of his lineage, Qinggui, was also only fourth-grade.
Li Zhirui furrowed his brows, currently powerless to change this, so he could only suppress his worries for another day.
He did not interrupt the two pets’ cultivation and, considering he hadn’t produced Essence-Enhancing Pills for several months, the family’s stock should be running low. He needed to hurry and refine so more.
Each flower blooms, showing a branch of its own.
anwhile, in Wind Corruption Prefecture’s Yin Wind Cave Sect’s main hall, the Sect Leader and Elders gathered together, but their expressions were uglier than the next.
After an unknown period of silence, the Sect Leader spoke up, "Are you certain? Could this news have been deliberately released by Shen Leishan?"
"Several disciples have sent back this ssage, and all ntioned this matter," a certain black-robed Elder said gravely.
The reason they were gathered together with such unsightly expressions was due to Shen Leishan, which had acquired a Nascent Soul cultivation insight a few years back. An Elder in the Golden Core Late Stage seed to have gained an insight, with a fifty percent confidence in breaking through to Nascent Soul!
Although only a fifty percent chance might seem low, if it were any other Golden Core Late Stage cultivators, they perhaps wouldn’t have even a ten percent chance.
"We absolutely can’t allow Shen Leishan to give birth to a Nascent Soul cultivator; otherwise, our Sect will be at risk!" an Elder said with killing intent filling his eyes.
This statent might sound exaggerated, for with the foundation of Yin Wind Cave, a newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t really contend with them.
But the resources they had at hand would eventually run out one day, and when that ti ca, how would they resist Shen Leishan’s assault?
