Li Family Residence.
Li Zhirui, upon knowing that the contract had been signed, summoned all the clanspeople and announced that they could return to Wanxian Island imdiately and start collecting the Spiritual Objects on the island.
"Fengwu, you take our clanspeople back to Wanxian Island first, I will attend the next eting alone," said Li Zhirui to Jiang Fengwu and the others.
There wasn't much left to do afterward; it was just a matter of squabbling with each other and then discussing achievents to distribute rewards.
Due to Da Qing and the others' status restrictions, it was predetermined that they could not be involved. There was no use keeping Jiang Fengwu behind either; it would be a waste of ti for no reason.
"By the way, here is the top-grade healing Spirit Pill I crafted during my spare ti. Distribute it to the severely injured clanspeople to prevent any lasting issues."
This was also why Li Zhirui, despite being a Divine Transformation elder, was so exhausted. Not only had he been purging Water Devils, but during travel, he had also been crafting various Spirit Pills without any break.
"If they still cannot be healed, send them into the Purification Spirit Realm."
Although without Li Zhirui's spellcasting, the environnt within the Spirit Realm would still greatly benefit their healing.
"Understood."
"Brother Jiu, rest assured, we'll take good care of the family."
With that, Li Zhirui didn't say much more and flew off toward the main island.
The rewards, of course, couldn't be directly distributed to each cultivator's hands. They had to be passed down layer by layer, and this battlefield was where it happened, on the main island.
By now, he could see that many cultivators were leaving. Flashes of Spirit Light intermittently crossed the sky, flying toward the western continent.
"It seems that years of war have left many cultivators eager to return ho. The mont the news broke out, they couldn't wait to leave."
But that's only human nature.
Li Zhirui shook his head and quickly reached the main island.
"Li has arrived!"
Every Divine Transformation cultivator he encountered would bow in respect.
Ever since Li Zhirui admitted that the Purification Principle he mastered was indeed effective against hidden injuries and vulnerabilities, these Nascent Soul Cultivators from the central domain had beco quite enthusiastic about him.
Even after Li Zhirui ntioned there were many restrictions and it couldn't completely remove these issues, their attitude remained the sa, without a hint of change.
But thinking about it, compared to other thods, Li Zhirui's demands weren't too harsh and seed quite effective. Naturally, they wanted to maintain a good relationship with Li Zhirui.
After all, they never knew when they might need to seek his help.
Even those Divine Transformation cultivators who had minor conflicts with Li Zhirui ca to see him privately to apologize.
That's why that previous scene occurred.
In fact, Li Zhirui didn't want to admit it, but there was no helping it, these Divine Transformation cultivators were too persistent, coming by every day to approach him indirectly.
Seeing this, a few Divine Transformation cultivators who ca to the island with rewards showed a trace of surprise in their eyes and quietly inquired from the cultivators beside them, "Who is that person, or is it for so other reason that he receives such respect from the crowd?"
Looking at his cultivation, he was only in the middle stage of Divine Transformation. Although not bad, it didn't justify such regard.
"Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but Li Zhirui has mastered the Purification Principle, which can eliminate impurities within the body and heal hidden injuries, which is why we hold him in such high regard."
"I see!" As a Divine Transformation cultivator, he naturally understood the usefulness of this ability and could not help but fall into deep thought, wondering about sothing.
anwhile, Li Zhirui himself had a friendly and humble expression on his face, but inside, he smirked bitterly. He had already weakened the effects of the Purification Principle by a large margin.
Still, it attracted people's pursuit. If he revealed the full extent of his abilities, he feared he would never have peace in the future.
Thinking about this, a shiver ran through Li Zhirui's heart. He must keep this secret secure, absolutely not letting it leak out!
Luckily, not many people knew of his true ability—just the three of them with Da Qing and Jiang Fengwu, along with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.
He believed that if he reminded them, they would not spread the news.
Watching the Divine Transformation cultivators coming up to greet him one by one, Li Zhirui regretted deeply. If he had known it would co to this, he would not have taken on the task himself but would have let Jiang Fengwu step forward.
But now, even wanting to leave was impossible. He could only sit in a secluded corner, hoping to reduce so of the attention.
Unfortunately, Li Zhirui's hopes were in vain. Even though he sat in a corner, many Divine Transformation cultivators still surrounded him for small talk, trying to foster a closer relationship.
Luckily, it wasn't long before all parties of Divine Transformation cultivators arrived, began squabbling, and discussed the distribution of Spiritual Objects. No one paid him any more attention.
Li Zhirui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Regarding the distribution of the Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui didn't speak up to vie for more, since the compensation and rewards for the Li family were quite fair.
He wasn't greedy for more, so he just sat quietly in his place, blankly listening to endless argunt and bickering around him.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, the surroundings finally quieted down.
"Fellow Daoist Li... Fellow Daoist Li!" A certain Divine Transformation cultivator approached Li Zhirui, initially calling out in a soft voice. Seeing no response, he eventually raised his voice.
"Hm? What is it?" Li Zhirui's Spiritual Soul, which had been spaced out, returned to his body instantly.
A flash of surprise crossed the other cultivator's eyes; as a Divine Transformation cultivator, he was not aware of Li Zhirui's proximity, which was unusual.
"I have a matter that I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist with, may we step aside to talk about it?"
Li Zhirui had a clear understanding; the cultivator must also be here for the Purification Principle.
"Alright."
He stood up and followed the cultivator into an adjacent side hall.
"What brings Fellow Daoist here?"
No sooner had Li Zhirui finished speaking than the Divine Transformation cultivator cast a spell, shielding the inside from the outside.
"I am Zhen Yunzi from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. My senior brother was once targeted by a Demon Cultivator, leaving a Demon Seed within his body, causing him tornt for many years."
Zhen Yunzi bowed, saying, "I have heard of Fellow Daoist's exceptional abilities, capable of purging maladies and transforming afflictions. I humbly request that Fellow Daoist lend his aid. My Zhenyi Sword Vein would be eternally grateful and would repay you generously!"
Li Zhirui frowned slightly, believing only half of Zhen Yunzi's words.
If the Ten Thousand Swords Sect couldn't solve his senior brother's issue with the Demon Seed, that indicated it wasn't a trivial matter.
Considering that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was one of the major players in the central domain!
Even though the Ten Thousand Swords Sect might not be adept at healing, with its status and presence, there would be no issue seeking help from the powerful cultivators of the central domain.
Even if Zhen Yunzi's senior brother was rely a Nascent Soul Cultivator and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was unwilling to intervene, didn't they still have the Zhenyi Sword Vein?
After all, their Sword Vein was one of the strongest within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
The fact that Zhen Yunzi was willing to ask Li Zhirui for help ant that he likely had sought aid from other Divine Transformation cultivators in the central domain.
But the problem remained unsolved until now, which showed its complexity.
Naturally, Li Zhirui wouldn't just blindly agree, even if Zhen Yunzi promised great rewards.
"I am flattered by Fellow Daoist's esteem. However, given the Demon Seed within your senior brother's body, surely many of the sa rank, perhaps even seniors, have already inspected him. The fact that it remains unresolved until now suggests that with my limited abilities, I am likely incapable of effecting a cure."
