Chapter 515: Chapter 521: Happy Event Chapter 515: Chapter 521: Happy Event At the sa ti, once a devil beast is detected, do not harbor any false hopes, and report it directly to the Li family. After confirmation, the family will provide a substantial reward.
“I have already checked the spiritual objects inside the storage bag, but I cannot guarantee that there are no problems. After you get them, if you find any problems, you must report to the family in ti!”
Li Zhirui stared sternly at everyone and said, “Otherwise, you’ll not only harm yourselves, but you could also bring trouble to your family and descendants!”
With inducents and threats executed in tandem, if there were still those who remained stubbornly ignorant, they should not bla the family for being unsympathetic when the ti ca.
Faced with Li Zhirui’s serious warning, everyone naturally did not dare to be negligent, and they promptly assured that they would definitely not make mistakes.
Without any incidents the entire way, the group safely returned to Wanxian Island.
After all, in the Extre Eastern Corner, Nascent Soul True Lords were already at the pinnacle of strength; who would dare to suddenly obstruct Li Zhirui?
“You may all go back and rest now.”
Li Zhirui said to everyone and then headed straight to the main hall to discuss Green Mountain State’s current situation with Li Shiqing, Li Xuefeng, and the other Elders.
But the most important thing was to co up with a plan for developing Green Mountain State.
Green Mountain State was rich in resources. Previously, because the Li family could only covet those spiritual objects due to the Spiritual Cloud Sect and the other two powers standing united and not having the strength to suppress the three of them, the family let their own mbers gain experience on their own.
But things were different now!
Thirty percent of Green Mountain State was owned by the Li family! It was no longer suitable to operate on a small scale as before.
“We can establish two teams: one specifically for hunting devil beasts in the mountains, and if they encounter high-grade or rare beasts, they can capture them and bring them back to the family for dostication. The other team will be for finding various spiritual objects in the mountains.”
An Elder spoke up, “Both teams can operate independently or in conjunction.”
“Hmm, not a bad idea, but we can’t fish the pond dry; we must also control the ‘degree’!” Li Zhirui nodded in approval and casually ntioned a few concepts of sustainable developnt, leading everyone to move forward in that direction!
After a series of debates and discussions that lasted several days, they finally ca up with a plan that everyone agreed on.
As for Li Zhirui, except for participating on the first day, he didn’t attend the subsequent etings at all.
For him, with that ti, why should he not seize every mont to cultivate diligently, instead of arguing over these trivial matters with the Elders?
——
“The Li family has left Green Mountain State?” Yun Lei, stationed at the Wood Spirit Sect, quickly received the news. “True to the Li family’s form, decisive in their actions and without hesitation in their withdrawal.”
But the next piece of news imdiately made him frown.
“The Li family, to gain favor with those two families, actually gave a piece of their territory to them?” Yun Lei remarked with astonishnt, “They are really generous!”
When he saw the piece of land that the Li family had given away, his face darkened instantly because two families had now sealed off the south and the west of Shen Leishan!
Even if it was just a mud wall no more than a couple of yards high, it was just enough to blockade the path.
——
Ti flies, and before one knows it, a whole year has passed.
In this past year, Li Zhirui was honing his mana and cultivating diligently. Although he had not yet broken through to the middle phase of Nascent Soul, he was getting ever closer.
In his spare ti, he also improved the Water-Wood Evasion Skill. Although it was not yet perfect, it was barely sufficient. The only issue was that the transitions were a bit slow, making it easy for an opponent to take advantage of this.
“Dad! Have you finished your retreat?” Li Chengshuo pushed the door open and happened to see Li Zhirui tasting tea in the courtyard. He cried out in surprise and delight.
“You’ve just co from the Array Hall?”
“Yes, I’ve been trying to design a third-level formation recently. If I succeed, I might be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt.”
“Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!” Li Zhirui could tell that while Li Chengshuo was pondering over the formation, he had not neglected his own cultivation; he was already at the perfection of the mid Foundation Establishnt stage.
“What about Sheng?”
Li Chengshuo pouted, reluctantly saying, “Brother broke through a few days ago and is consolidating his realm now.”
“Oh?” Li Zhirui was startled upon hearing this and then overjoyed, laughing, “I didn’t expect to encounter double happiness upon coming out of seclusion.”
“If only mother was here.”
Li Zhirui sighed. In this past year, there had been no news from Jiang Fengwu, and if it weren’t for the intact Life Token, he wouldn’t be sitting here so calmly.
“Believe in your mother, she will definitely succeed!”
After chatting idly for a while longer and noticing Li Chengshuo displaying signs of fatigue, Li Zhirui said, “Deducing formations is no easy task, and you’ve expended a lot. You’d better go back and rest.”
About a month later, once Li Chengsheng had his realm properly consolidated, he left seclusion, ready to register his current level of cultivation.
But he hadn’t expected that Li Zhirui was already waiting for him.
“Father!” Li Chengsheng greeted with a bow.
Compared to the freewheeling Li Chengshuo, Li Chengsheng was more serious and strict. Despite his young age, he always gave off the impression of being mature.
Li Zhirui had grown accustod to this, so he didn’t rebuke him, instead saying, “Although you’ve just recently broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, you should start preparing for Core Formation.”
“Do you plan to undertake Core Formation on your own or take the family’s specially concocted Gold Core Formation Pill?”
The forr purely relies on one’s own mana and cultivation. A slight mishap could lead to a failed Tribulation Transcendence, while the latter has many advantages, such as restoring mana, resisting Heart Demons, and more.
However, there’s no gain without a loss. If one takes the Gold Core Formation Pill, the chances of obtaining a Heavenly Gifted Divine Power are extrely slim, and the mana won’t be as robust, nor the Spiritual Soul as strong, compared to doing it on one’s own.
As for cultivators like Li Zhirui who consud Spiritual Objects for Core Formation, their situation falls between the two.
“I will undertake Core Formation on my own!” Li Chengsheng answered resolutely: “Even if it takes dozens or even hundreds of years, I will do it on my own.”
“Good! That’s the spirit! Then, you must be prepared to endure loneliness.” Li Zhirui was very pleased with this. Naturally, as a father, he hoped his children would surpass him, “Once you break through to Golden Core, I will give you a gift that will surprise you!”
He planned to find precious fourth-grade Yin-Yang Spiritual Objects as gifts for the siblings’ Core Formation. At that ti, they could use them to directly refine their Life-bound Magic Treasures.
Just as Li Chengsheng was about to speak, a surge of Spiritual Energy erupted from Wanxian Island.
“Is soone breaking through to Golden Core?!” Li Zhirui imdiately got up and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
It could be Li Chenghua or Li Chengwu, but it might also be soone else. Li Darong had been in seclusion for many years; it could be his breakthrough.
In no ti, Li Zhirui and his company arrived at the source of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
“This is the cave dwelling where Li Chengwu is in seclusion?” Li Zhirui had personally helped apply for it, so he rembered it clearly.
“I didn’t expect him to be the first to start the breakthrough.”
Li Zhirui had been more optimistic about Li Chenghua because of his solid foundation, but he hadn’t anticipated that Li Chengwu would seize the initiative.
