Chapter 772: Chapter 778: Temptation Chapter 772: Chapter 778: Temptation “Why doesn’t Fellow Daoist consider increasing the dosage of Fifth-order Spiritual dicine? This might make it more likely for you to achieve your goal,” Yu Xue asked in return.
“Fifth-order Spiritual dicines are expensive and rare, far less cost-effective than Rongxi Cao.” After all, the Li family didn’t have a Fifth-order Spirit Seed, so if Li Zhirui wanted to experint, he would have to spend a significant amount of money on purchases, leaving him no choice but to try and enhance the dicinal effects from other aspects.
Yu Xue nodded in understanding. The Li family’s situation was just like that, they couldn’t present much in terms of valuable items. Moreover, if they could reduce the cost of Alchemy, it would be beneficial for him as well.
“We can give it a try, starting by deducing the Pill Recipe, and then purchasing Spiritual dicine from the Pill Palace for experintation…”
He paused and added, “A Pill Recipe won’t succeed after just one or two experints, so we’ll have to complete more missions. It’s going to be quite arduous and busy, Fellow Daoist should be ntally prepared.”
“I know, rest assured, Fellow Daoist,” Li Zhirui replied loudly.
Compared to the path that lies ahead, the current hardships were nothing!
Then, both of them began a long and ‘dark’ period without respite.
In the beginning, they were rely theorizing on paper, deducing Pill Recipes. When both felt that the Pill Recipe was impeccable and ready for practical experintation, the difficult days descended!
Every ingredient cost a considerable amount of Contribution Value. To obtain Contribution Value, one had to engage in Alchemy, and it took several furnaces of Precious Pills to exchange for a single ingredient.
You must know, to ensure the success rate of pills, they had to be fully focused while performing Alchemy, concentrating all their energy. As a result, they couldn’t produce many batches in a single day.
However, their rate of consumption was fast. After all, without a perfected Pill Recipe that had been tried and tested, there would be all sorts of strange and bizarre reasons for failure.
It wasn’t surprising to consu more than a dozen sets of ingredients in a day.
What the two could do now was to summarize experiences from the constant failures to perfect the Pill Recipe as soon as possible.
Years later, on Wanxian Island at the Extre Eastern Corner.
The Tribulation Clouds in the sky turned into dense Spiritual Energy, descending below, signifying that another clan mber had successfully undergone Tribulation Transcendence.
This ti, the person who had transcended was Li Chengshuo! She smoothly beca a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Mom, where’s dad? Don’t tell he’s entered seclusion again?” Li Chengshuo’s tone carried a hint of gloom.
After her successful Tribulation, she didn’t imdiately go back to consolidate her realm but asked why Li Zhirui didn’t co to protect her during it.
“It’s not that Zhirui didn’t want to co, but he had urgent matters to attend to. He left the family several years ago already,” Jiang Fengwu helped explain.
“What exactly it is, I’ll tell you after you’ve stabilized your realm,” Li Chengsheng urged Li Chengshuo to return to seclusion promptly.
“Alright then.” Although she understood the reason, Li Chengshuo still felt sowhat discontent.
anwhile, news of Li Zhirui not being on Wanxian Island had also spread and reached the ears of so cultivators with ulterior motives.
In the grand hall of the Profound Ice Sect, all Elders were gathered.
“With Li Zhirui away from his family, why not just eliminate the Li family!” soone said venomously yet foolishly.
“Do you think he won’t co back? Do you believe that after annihilating the Li family, we could still survive? Besides, who knows if this is a ploy by the Li family? Intentionally releasing this false news to catch us in the act, and have a justified reason to eradicate the neighboring powers.”
Once these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
If this was truly a strategy by the Li family, there was no need for them to discuss any further, and the crowd gradually dispersed in low spirits.
Only the Sect Leader and an Elder remained behind.
“Elder He, is there sothing you wish to say to ?”
“If anyone detests the Li family the most, it has to be the Devil Race from the Great Snow Mountain. Why not let them make a move to probe the Li family’s situation?”
Elder He said calmly, “If it cos to scheming, it will be the Devil Race who is unlucky and it has nothing to do with us. But if Li Zhirui really has left, we can be like the praying mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind, and if we strike against the Devil Race directly, we could also gain a lot.”
“What if Li Zhirui cos back and attacks the Sect indiscriminately, what should we do then?” the Sect Leader asked calmly.
“Migrate!”
Elder He said with a determined face, “Profound Ice State is a bitterly cold land, where our Sect is trapped. There’s dim prospect for significant developnt.”
“It is said that there are two fourth-order Spirit Veins on Wanxian Island, and together with the two original ones from our Sect, even if we use the Moving Spirit Secret Skill, we would still have three intact fourth-order Spirit Veins!”
“With that, where in this vast world could our Profound Ice Sect not establish a foothold?!”
With three fourth-order Spirit Veins, even a place lacking in spirits could turn into a blessed land rich with Spiritual Energy.
Elder He’s series of ideas left the Sect Leader stunned; he hadn’t expected this Elder’s ambition to be so great! Not only wanting to annihilate the Li family, but also planning to relocate the Sect!
But after so thought, he had to admit that his thods were indeed very good, eliminating the threat of the Li family and giving the Sect a whole new, better opportunity for developnt.
“Elder He, this matter is of great importance; allow to consider it for a few days,” the Sect Leader said, clearly tempted, but not imdiately agreeing.
Elder He called out excitedly, “Sect Leader, this is a golden opportunity given by heaven, one that must absolutely not be missed. Otherwise, the Sect may really never have the hope of rising again!”
“I know, you may go now,” the Sect Leader said, waving his hand tiredly for him to leave.
But Elder He still wouldn’t give up, trying to force the Sect Leader to agree on the spot, “Sect Leader…”
“I said! You go first!” The aura of Nascent Soul completion erupted, as fierce as a tiger descending down the mountain, staring down Elder He with a murderous gaze.
“Yes!” Elder He trembled all over, quickly bowed his head in agreent, but his eyes were filled with resentnt.
The Sect Leader didn’t even open his eyes to look at him. He sat silently for a while before calling in his most trusted Elders to discuss the matter.
The reactions varied among them. So nodded in agreent, while others felt it wasn’t reliable.
“Not to ntion other issues, but how do we get the Devil Race to make a move against the Li family?”
“Given the Devil Race’s hatred for the Li family, as long as they know that Li Zhirui is not on Wanxian Island, they will definitely take action!”
Moving the entire clan and forsaking their ancestral land to compete for territory with other Devil Races in the wilderness—such deep-seated enmity is surely always rembered by the Devil Race.
Now, having a chance for revenge, how could they miss it?
“And how will you find that group of Devil Beasts?”
“Aren’t there third-order Devil Beasts left behind in the Great Snow Mountain? Just let them know.”
After a heated debate, the faction advocating for action finally prevailed, for they had an irresistible argunt.
“After Li Zhirui’s breakthrough into Divine Transformation, won’t he reflect on his insights and experiences from the breakthrough? If we conquer Wanxian Island, wouldn’t these treasures naturally fall into our hands?”
Who among them doesn’t wish to break through Divine Transformation and extend their lifespan?
In the past, they saw no hope, but now there’s a shortcut right before them, utterly irresistible!
