Li Zhirui, after searching the area, concluded that there was an Illusion Array hidden from his Divine Sense. If Jiang Jielin hadn't been so attentive, they might have missed it.
"Great!" Li Zhirui said, exuberant, "If there's sothing I want here, you two will be handsoly rewarded."
Now that he knew the reason, what followed was naturally less challenging. With a bit of effort, Li Zhirui broke through the Illusion Array.
As expected!
He had previously noticed that the aura of the third-order Moon Serpent was off and had a suspicion in his mind. Now, seeing the Moon-White Serpent Egg placed at the Array Eye, a brilliant smile spread across Li Zhirui's face. With this, Shuo would have a suitable Contracted Spirit Beast!
He carefully stowed the serpent egg in his space, then turned to the siblings and said, "Now that this is settled, I will take you out of Cang Hai Province."
At the mont the Illusion Array was broken, the Moon Serpent thousands of miles away imdiately sensed it, muttering to itself, "So the cultivators found it after all? My child, I'm sorry."
The once glossy pupils were now extrely dim, swirling with hatred and a resolve for death.
On a night with a full moon, the Moon Serpent appeared beneath the main peak of the Profound Yin Sect.
"Having enslaved for so many years, let's die together!" A voice filled with boundless hatred and resentnt dispersed with the wind.
In the next mont, an earth-shattering boom resounded, and the originally towering Profound Yin Mountain crumbled to the ground with countless giant rocks rolling down, and dust covering the surrounding area for miles. Nurous cultivators died either in the self-destruction of the Moon Serpent or crushed under the collapsing rocks of Profound Yin Mountain.
But the biggest loss wasn't those cultivators, but rather the fourth-order Spirit Vein beneath Profound Yin Mountain!
It was unknown how the Moon Serpent got so close to the Spirit Vein, but its self-destruction was fierce enough to blast a section of it!
Fortunately, the Spirit Vein was not completely shattered; otherwise, the fourth-order Spirit Vein would have been totally destroyed. But even so, the extent of the damage was not sothing that could easily be repaired. It would require a significant investnt of resources, not to ntion ti, to heal the wounds.
When it rains, it pours!
The news of the damaged Spirit Vein spread rapidly. Forces opposing the Profound Yin Sect made their moves, attempting to loot amidst the chaos, leaving the Profound Yin Sect exhausted, severely damaged, and with much-reduced territory.

But getting back to our story!
"Thank you, senior!" Although Li Zhirui had previously promised this, the siblings had not been able to settle down completely. Now that they were on their way, they could finally relax.
As for what fate the Jiang Family would face for offending Mr. Wang, how was that their concern?
The Spirit Boat sped along, shattering the clouds across the Tianqiong, leaving behind a stretched path.
Eager to get ho, Li Zhirui maximized the speed of the Spirit Boat, entering Green Mountain State the next day.
"This place has a prosperous cultivation world. In the middle is Green Mountain Range, and to the east is Boundless Sea, both excellent places for training. There are also abundant cultivation resources. It's just a bit close to Cang Hai Province. What do you two think?" Li Zhirui stopped near a Marketplace and asked for their opinions.
Jiang Jieming and Jiang Jielin exchanged glances and both nodded in agreent, "Thank you, senior!"
They were not the kind to be ungrateful; they were already more than thankful that Li Zhirui was willing to take them away. Who were they to be picky?
"Hmm," Li Zhirui reached out to send the two people off and incidentally gave Jiang Jielin a jade vial as a reward for finding the Moon Serpent Egg.
Having dealt with this matter, he directly controlled the Spirit Boat to fly away.
"Sister, what kind of Spirit Pill did the senior give you?" He had been wondering for the past two days what reward Li Zhirui would give them, and now they finally had a chance to see it.
Jiang Jielin probed the vial with her Divine Sense and was both shocked and overjoyed, her hands moving swiftly to store the jade vial in her storage bag while she transmitted her voice, "Brother, the senior gave us a Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
"What?!" Jiang Jieming exclaid in shock, drawing the attention of many nearby cultivators. Realizing what he had done, he hurriedly pulled his sister away.
"The senior is too generous, actually giving a Foundation Establishnt Pill as a reward." Jiang Jieming sighed with a hint of regret, saying, "It's just that we don't even know the senior's last na, so in the future, we won't even be able to find him to express our gratitude."
"We'll et again if it's fated," Jiang Jielin also felt excited, secretly clenching her fist, adding, "But before that happens, we must practice diligently, otherwise we won't be of any help to the senior."
Li Zhirui had no idea the siblings were already thinking about how to repay him in the future, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
It wasn't that he looked down upon them; after all, stories like "do not despise the poor youth" and "thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west" do happen in reality.
But in Li Zhirui's heart, their interactions were simply transactions. Once the deal was complete, there was no need for anything else to occur.
——
"Mom, Dad has been out for quite so ti now, why hasn't he co back?" Li Chengshuo asked anxiously. So bad thoughts began to surface in her mind, and she was sowhat regretting letting Li Zhirui go in search of the Moon Serpent.
"You," Jiang Fengwu said helplessly, tapping her on the forehead, "need to trust your father. With his abilities, ordinary Golden Core cultivators are not his match, and besides, when he went out this ti, he took Xiaoqing with him."
Since Da Qing's partner was pregnant and needed his care, Li Zhirui only took Xiaoqing with him. And with the strength of this man and his beast, even facing several Golden Cores, they could leave with ease.
"Then why hasn't Dad co back?"
"Don't worry, he'll be back soon."
"Hahaha..." Accompanied by hearty laughter, a travel-weary figure appeared in the courtyard. Li Zhirui said with a smile, "Does Shuo miss father?"
"Yes, I miss you so much!" Li Chengshuo nodded repeatedly, her voice clear as she spoke, unlike Li Chengsheng, who was reluctant to express himself, this little girl always liked to speak her mind.
"I've brought back a surprise for you this ti," Li Zhirui said, flipping his hand to reveal a flat, moon-white Serpent Egg lying in the palm of his hand.
"Dad, is this the egg of the Moon Serpent?!"
"Yes, you'll have to be careful with this one. There's only this single egg." If sothing went wrong, he wouldn't be able to get another one.
"I'm going to find Patriarch Lian right now; he'll definitely know how to hatch the Moon Serpent," Li Chengshuo said excitedly as she left with the egg.
Li Zhirui watched her lively figure with a shaking head and a wry smile. Only when she was completely out of sight did he turn around and ask, "Where's Sheng?"
"Ah," Jiang Fengwu sighed helplessly when the topic of her eldest son ca up, "That boy spends all his ti either cultivating in the quiet room or caring for the Chaoyang Crows with Uncle Lian. It's rare to see him on ordinary days."
"Judging by the ti, he should be coming out soon."
