The Li family now controls thousands of miles of territory and dozens of Spirit Veins, dealing with countless matters every day. People like Li Chengmo naturally couldn't just stay outside the Secret Realm and wait.
Only the trio of Li Zhirui, given their current status, didn't need to deal with these trivial matters personally and had enough spare ti to stay here.
Among them, Li Shiqing was an elder and naturally shouldn't be troubled. Li Zhirui was the strongest, so he needed to stay in case of ergencies, leaving tasks like running about to Li Zhiyue.
However, she didn't mind, and walking straight out of the Cloaking Array, she transford into a rainbow light flying towards Wanxian Island.
Soon, Li Zhiyue returned to the family and had Li Chengmo gather the people, also asking Li Shilian to co out to help select the family mbers who would enter the Secret Realm.
"Brother, did they say how many people we should arrange to go in this ti?" Li Shilian asked.
Seeing Li Zhiyue shake her head and recalling the intelligence she carried back, she pondered for a mont and said, "Since the Secret Realm isn't very dangerous, let's arrange for more family mbers to go in. While they collect Spiritual Objects, they should also plant Spirit Seeds."
This way, by the ti the Secret Realm opened next ti, they would be able to obtain a large number of first and second-order Spiritual dicines!
As for third-order Spiritual dicines? Their growth ti is too long, and that is only a second-order Secret Realm. It can barely cultivate them and lacks the Spiritual Energy from beyond third-order Spirit Veins, unable to speed up the growth of the Spiritual dicine.
Moreover, third-order Spirit Seeds are rather precious. It's not feasible to let them grow wildly in such a crude manner.
"Let's dispatch two hundred Qi Cultivators and fifteen Foundation Establishnt cultivators," Li Shilian added. "Pick as many as possible with strong combat abilities."
"All right," Li Zhiyue nodded to show she had noted this and then began selecting family mbers according to these requirents.
Most family mbers on the plaza knew the reason for the family gathering and were all showing signs of anticipation, hoping they would be selected.
They understood that, after entering the Secret Realm apart from so precious or highly useful Spiritual Objects for the family that had to be handed over – and would be subsidized – the rest could be kept for themselves!
Whether you sell them directly to the family or deal with them otherwise is up to you.
Therefore, entering the Secret Realm was viewed by many as a great opportunity to earn Spirit Stones.
It's just a pity that the spots were limited, and even with Li Shilian's allocation of 215 openings, for the thousands of family mbers, it was still insufficient, leaving seven or eight out of ten people regretfully not chosen.
After selecting the people, Li Zhiyue did not linger in the family residence and simply said, "You have half an hour to prepare. Once the ti is up, set out imdiately."
If anyone was late, it was easy to find a replacent. It's not like they were irreplaceable.
Yet, even so, by the ti they arrived at the Secret Realm, dusk had already fallen.
Li Zhirui glanced over the crowd and without saying much, simply said, "Rest for now, conserve your energy. We might have to wait a few days before the Secret Realm opens."
In the idle days to co, Li Zhirui spent so ti each day offering guidance to the family mbers on cultivation, so on Qi Cultivation experience, others on Alchemy experience.
The crowd did not expect such a good fortune, receiving personal guidance from a Golden Core expert!
In the family, only those few with exceptional talents had such an opportunity. They never expected to have such luck themselves.
Li Zhirui wasn't thinking so much, firstly because he found waiting around tedious and it was inconvenient to cultivate or practice alchemy outside, and secondly, he wanted to seize this opportunity to test what he had learned and identify any gaps in his knowledge.
Seeing this, Li Shiqing and Li Zhiyue would occasionally give pointers to a few Qi Cultivators. Although there weren't many, it wasn't enough to dampen their fiery enthusiasm. In fact, so even wished that the Secret Realm would not open so they could enjoy the guidance of a Golden Core expert for a few more days.
Of course, such a thing was impossible. On the evening of their fifth day since arrival, the portal to the Secret Realm opened once again, and everyone entered in succession.
Once opened this ti, the portal would not vanish again until the Secret Realm closed.
Therefore, it wouldn't be long before the first Qi Cultivator would erge from the Secret Realm.
As expected, just two hours later, the portal suddenly shimred with light, and a rather sneaky-looking Qi Cultivator walked out.
"Next, we need to check the storage bags," said Li Zhirui. Seeing the joy on the Qi Cultivator's face and his hurry to co out, it didn't take much thought to realize he had obtained a treasure.
In addition to checking the storage bags, they also used Divine Sense to scan each person from head to toe, ensuring that no Qi Cultivators were secretly keeping any precious Spiritual Objects.
After all, the family's compensation was sowhat lower than the market price, and it was not beyond possibility that so might want to sell the Spiritual Objects at a higher price.
If that was all, it would have been tolerable, since it is only natural for people to want more Spirit Stones, isn't it?
If only it were that simple. If the precious Spiritual Objects being smuggled out were too nurous, it would surely attract the attention of certain interested parties, and they might guess that the Li family had discovered a Secret Realm.
If Shen Leishan learned this, the Li family would have to cede at least thirty percent of the Secret Realm's harvest, and the other party wouldn't have to do anything, not even ask for it—the Li family would have to offer it up willingly.
"You're quite lucky," Li Zhirui scanned with his Divine Sense and found a Third-order Spiritual dicine within a Jade Box in the storage bag.
"Red Fla Fruit? It's quite precious, I can grant you six thousand Contribution Value for it. Do you want to sell any other Spiritual Objects to the family?"
The man's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected the Spiritual dicine to be worth so much. With such a large sum of Contribution Value, and by borrowing so from the family along with his own savings, he could exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill!
"No need, thank you, Eldered Ancestor," he said.
Li Zhirui directly took the Jade Box and then flicked a Jade Token over to him, saying, "Exchange it at the Task Hall back at the family with this token."
Gradually, more and more Qi Cultivators ca out of the Secret Realm. So not only had little gain but also ended up in quite a ssy state, while others were quite lucky, obtaining many good things.
Among them, the most noteworthy was a Qi Cultivator of the Cheng generation, who had actually obtained a precious Seven-leaf Mystical Ginseng.
Though it was also a Third-order Spiritual dicine, its value was incomparable to that of the Red Fla Fruit and other Spiritual dicines, for Seven-leaf Mystical Ginseng could strengthen one's foundation and vitality, and was the main ingredient in the Third-order Spirit Pill, Mystical Ginseng Pill!
The Mystical Ginseng Pill was extraordinary, arguably the most powerful among all Third-order Spirit Pills in terms of increasing Mana!
It was said that one Mystical Ginseng Pill was worth as much as two Essence-Enhancing Pills!
Of course, Li Zhirui had only read about the Mystical Ginseng Pill in an ancient scripture, and he didn't have the corresponding Pill Recipe on hand, but with human effort, things can be accomplished. With the key Spiritual dicine in hand, was there still a worry about not getting the Pill Recipe?
Thus, thrilled, Li Zhirui directly awarded the Qi Cultivator fifteen thousand Contribution Value.
