Chapter 713: Chapter 719: Dispute Chapter 713: Chapter 719: Dispute “They are very powerful, and each possesses unique abilities. This Green-robed Fellow Daoist is nad Yang Liu, with incredibly strong Divine Sense, able to detect much farther than other cultivators of the sa level, and he is also very powerful.”
Bai Qiushan thought Li Chengsheng wasn’t aware of their abilities and therefore looked down upon them, so he imdiately introduced, “This one is Lin Feng, proficient in fire-elent cultivation techniques, with formidable combat strength, and is also an Alchemist.”
After hearing this, Li Chengsheng imdiately showed a trace of a smile on his face and warmly said, “Welco to the two Fellow Daoists for joining.”
Although they appeared sowhat unorthodox, they were undoubtedly capable!
That alone was enough to dispel Li Chengsheng’s dissatisfaction.
As for whether these two were plants specifically brought in by Bai Qiushan, he couldn’t venture to confirm it, but judging from the pride that emanated from their very bones, it seed they would consider it beneath them to engage in such acts.
And as it turned out, Li Chengsheng’s guess was not wrong.
After the team of four was successfully ford, they didn’t imdiately delve deeper into the Undying Volcano but instead stayed in the outer periter to cultivate tacit understanding, so that if they encountered danger later, they wouldn’t be thrown into chaos and panic.
Over ti, the four beca familiar with each other and ca to know each other’s identity and background.
Without exception, all three of them ca from Divine Transformation forces!
“I never thought you had been deceiving everyone all along!” Bai Qiushan looked at Li Chengsheng with a face filled with shock, as though his heart had been deeply wounded.
“The family rules dictate as such, please forgive , three Fellow Daoist brothers,” he replied.
The main reason was that the Li family’s strength was not formidable enough. If they offended so powerful force, it could very well bring disaster upon the family.
Therefore, Li Zhirui decreed that all family mbers who went out for training could not reveal their nas, unless they were cultivators with whom you have ford a good relationship.
As to why not disguise their appearance? Because not everyone is Li Zhirui, who could ensure his disguise would not be seen through, but the other family mbers couldn’t do the sa.
Once the disguise was uncovered, the other party would start to doubt your identity, which wouldn’t serve any purpose but to actually complicate things further.
After the four beca familiar with each other’s strengths and weaknesses, they began venturing deep into the Undying Volcano!
Because their main objective was to achieve a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, unlike other teams that prioritized stability, they sought excitent!
In this way, Li Chengsheng started his life of training in the Undying Volcano, hoping to achieve his goal and successfully make the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul during this process!

“I wonder how effective this Purification Pill, enhanced several tis over, will be on ?” Li Zhirui examined the blue pill in his hand, and truthfully, he didn’t have much confidence.
After all, no matter how much it’s enhanced, it’s still just a Third-order Spirit Pill, and its effects on a Nascent Soul cultivator like him were hard to predict.
He did also want to advance the Pill Recipe. That way, the effects would definitely be significant. However, due to the scarcity of Fifth-order Spiritual Objects within the Li family, it was impossible to find superior replacents, and they could only resort to strengthening the effects of the pills.
After hesitating for a mont, Li Zhirui still swallowed the Spirit Pill into his stomach and began to use his cultivation technique to refine it.
Soon, a refreshing coolness erged from his Dantian and flowed through his ridians to all over his body, and then wisps of gray dirt started to ooze from his pores.
What followed was an indescribably foul odor that filled the quiet room.
Fortunately, Li Zhirui was well prepared and had sealed off his five senses. He quickly cast a spell to wash off the filth from his body and expelled the polluted air.
“It seems there is still so effect.”
Although the effects were not as prominent as those of the Purification Pill for Li Chenghuo and others, the results were already quite remarkable now, considering that Li Zhirui was using it across a major realm breakthrough.
In the following days, Li Zhirui busied himself both with refining enhanced versions of the Purification Pill and with taking pills, practicing diligently as he now needed to strive for his Divine Transformation breakthrough.
Soon after, a conflict arose during a family eting in the clan hall, and it was related to Li Zhirui.
The dispute started over whether the Li family should cultivate a third Fourth-Order Spirit Vein or focus on a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein, following the successful nurturing of a second Fourth-Order Spirit Vein.
The Elders supporting the Fourth-Order Spirit Vein argued that more Fourth-Order Spirit Fields could be opened up to grow more Fourth-Order Spiritual Objects, instead of occupying a large part of the territory within Mount Wanxian and Spirit Beast Mountain as was the case at present.
It would not only free up more space for cultivation but also expand the area of the Spirit Fields, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
On the other hand, the Elders in favor of cultivating a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein justified their stance with a simple point, arguing that after Li Zhirui’s breakthrough to Divine Transformation, his cultivation speed would decrease significantly without the support of a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein!
“A Fifth-Order Spirit Vein is great, but it takes a long ti, costs a lot, and the family has no experience at all in nurturing one. What if sothing goes wrong, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?”
Given Li Zhirui’s status and position, even those who wished to oppose could not fault him in this matter.
“Exactly because it takes a long ti, that’s why we need to start now. Do we really have to wait until the Patriarch has succeeded in his breakthrough before we begin?” This person was quite cunning, only addressing the simplest of the three concerns raised.
Having Li Zhirui ‘in hand’, those supporting the Fifth-Order Spirit Vein were theoretically in an invincible position from the start. Yet, they were still quite reasonable, listing many benefits that would co with the Fifth-Order Spirit Vein.
For instance, a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein could cause a surge in Spiritual Energy across Mount Wanxian, benefiting all mbers of the clan; it could also open up more Spirit Fields, including high-order Fifth-Order Spirit Fields.
In short, it seed they had managed to convince the others with their rationale.
Ever since the dispute erupted, Li Wenli, who had been silent, saw the outco he desired unfolding and imdiately spoke up, decisively announcing, “In that case, starting this year, let’s bury Spirit Stones beneath Mount Wanxian and fully commit to nurturing a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein.”
That’s right!
This matter was actually being driven by Li Wenli in the background.
If one were observant enough, they would realize that nearly all the Elders supporting the Fifth-Order Spirit Vein were from Clan Leader Li Wenli’s faction.
The reason he took such action was twofold: first, he genuinely believed that the benefits from a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein would be greater than those of a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, and second, he wanted to repay Li Zhirui.
“This matter must be kept confidential; we can’t let outsiders know!”
Fifth-Order Spirit Veins were a rarity, and it was possible that other forces could be tempted.
And one could tell it involved a Nascent Soul Cultivator just by hearing about it, which would surely draw intense scrutiny from so forces towards the Li family, potentially leading to the sa fate as the Profound Ice Sect after their Tribulation Transcendence. If that happened, the Li family would be dood!
What if! If Li Zhirui failed his Tribulation Transcendence, the strength of the Li family would be halved in an instant!
——
Ti always slips away when least expected, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
Jiang Fengwu, who had been in seclusion for many years, suddenly showed signs of movent one day.
Li Zhirui, who was in the sa cave dwelling, naturally noticed the first signs imdiately and woke up instantly.
He walked out of his room, unable to hide his eagerness, and exclaid sincerely, “After so many years of secluded cultivation, the day has finally co!”
