Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 174 - 180: Sale

Several days later, in the main hall of the Li family!

Li Zhirui, in front of all the Elders, handed over a portion of his gains from his recent adventures to the family.

The purpose of this was mainly to maintain fairness and impartiality; after all, some matters are difficult to uphold, but very simple to destroy.

”Excellent, excellent, truly worthy of being our Li familyʼs Kylin Child!” Li Shile, who had already retired, now said with a face full of joy.

The spiritual objects Li Zhirui openly handed over to the Li family were all second-order, many of which the family did not possess and were difficult to find in the outside world.

Others also heaped praise on Li Zhirui and had not a single complaint about awarding him a large sum of Contribution Value.

After a lively time, everyone eventually dispersed.

But Li Zhirui, Li Shilian, and a few other Foundation Establishment cultivators followed Li Shiqing to his cave dwelling.

”Thereʼs another matter to discuss with you,” Li Shiqing looked at Li Zhirui and, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, continued, ”Zhirui has brought back a very precious Spiritual Medicine this time.”

”A Golden Ganoderma that can increase the chances of Core Formation by 10 percent!” Li Shiqing, seeing the others gasp, added, ”In addition to a few small Golden Ganoderma, thereʼs also a mature one!”

Spiritual objects that can increase the chances of Core Formation are extremely precious treasures, no matter where they are.

Although he trusted those Elders not to leak the information, it was clearly best if as few people knew as possible.

”As for this mature Golden Ganoderma, I have made arrangements.” Li Shiqing turned his gaze to Li Shilian and said, ”Currently, youʼre the closest in our family to reaching the Golden Core, so when youʼre ready to seclude yourself for the breakthrough, I will hand the Golden Ganoderma over to you.”

”I will not fail the expectations of Second Brother and the family!” Li Shilianʼs eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Li Zhirui.

If it werenʼt for Li Zhirui taking the initiative to bring out the Golden Ganoderma, how could he have such an opportunity?

”You all donʼt need to be anxious, the Golden Ganoderma has been planted, and you will also have a chance to obtain it.”

However, even though thatʼs said, the several smaller Golden Ganoderma currently only have a little over a hundred years of medicinal potency, whereas a mature one requires three hundred years. Even in a third-order Spirit Cave with abundant spiritual energy, the growth canʼt be sped up by much.

After all, itʼs impossible to only cultivate Golden Ganoderma in the Li familyʼs third-order Spirit Cave, as other spiritual objects will certainly dilute a lot of the Spiritual Energy.

And by that time, the remaining lifespan of Li Shiren and Li Shiting would be very little; they might even have already passed away.

As for people like Li Zhirui, they could afford to wait for the Golden Ganoderma to mature, but he didnʼt need the family-cultivated Golden Ganoderma; he had his own space.

However, it could be given to Li Zhixuan, Li Zhiyue, and to the later generation like Li Chenghuo, to improve their chances of Core Formation.

——

Not long after Li Zhirui returned to Da Rong Island, he took on the task of guarding Red Pine Island, allowing Li Shiren to return home.

With the increase in the Li familyʼs strength, the three Spirit Islands of Red Pine Island were no longer each supervised by a Foundation Establishment cultivator; the family had only arranged for one person to suppress mischief in the marketplace of Red Pine Island.

Li Zhirui didnʼt choose to stay on Da Rong Island, which had a third-order Spirit Vein, but came to Red Pine Island instead. The main reason was that his current level of cultivation needed to be quietly honed and improved. Additionally, with the aid of Spirit Pills, his need for Spiritual Energy had decreased significantly. As long as it was sufficient, that was all that mattered.

At the same time, he also needed a relaxed environment that would be convenient for him to go out and sell his Spirit Pills.

Li Zhirui had accumulated quite a number of Spirit Pills by now, yet the Spiritual Medicine used for alchemy had been cultivated using Spirit Stones, to the extent that he was now left with few Spirit Stones.

Originally, he had intended to sell them in Great Void Province to recover the cost and earn Spirit Stones, but then he encountered an invasion by the Devil Race, the destruction of Great Void Tao, and the Great Void Province had fallen into the hands of the Devil Race, so naturally, his plan came to nought.

As such, Li Zhirui did not stay long on Red Pine Island before he left quietly and unnoticed.

He was preparing to go to Green Mountain State to sell Spirit Pills for two reasons: First, he was too conspicuous in Yunping State, and should he take out a Water Refinement Pill, he feared his identity would be exposed. But in Green Mountain State, it would not be the case as there were many Water Method Alchemists, even a family that specialized in Water Method Alchemy.

The second reason was that selling in Green Mountain State could fetch a considerably higher price!

Actually, even now in Yunping State, the price of Water-Refined Pills was about ten percent higher than Fire-Refined Pills, but still could not match those in Green Mountain State.

Anyway, with Xiaoqingʼs speed, a trip to Green Mountain State was merely half a day away. If he could sell them quickly enough, he could return to Red Pine Island before the sun set, with no one noticing his absence from the island.

Moreover, to guard against unforeseen circumstances, Li Zhirui had left Da Qing in the marketplace. In case a Foundation Establishment Cultivator made a move, he could temporarily suppress them, allowing the other clan members on the island to contact the family.

As for if a Golden Core Cultivator took action, even Li Zhirui himself could not withstand them, but on second thought, would a Golden Core Cultivator covet the minimal resources of Red Pine Island?

Knowing well the disposition of the shopkeepers, Li Zhirui had no initial plans of selling to them, and instead rented a stall where many cultivators passed by.

Then he set up the blackboard and white cloth that he had prepared in advance, and took out bottle after bottle of Spirit Pills from his waist storage bag: Essence Pills that increased mana, Minor Revival Pills for healing, Detoxification Pills, and many other types of second-tier Spirit Pills.

Li Zhiruiʼs actions were not inconspicuous, and combined with the content written on the blackboard, they immediately attracted a large number of cultivators to gather around.

”All of these are top-quality Water-Refined Pills, priced reasonably, with discounts on bulk purchases…” and below were the prices of the various Spirit Pills.

The prices Li Zhirui marked out were fifteen percent cheaper than those in the shops, which was still very appealing to the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with a background as Loose Cultivators.

However, although many cultivators had gathered around, not a single one had actually purchased anything.

Thereʼs a demon behind every strange occurrence!

Water-Refined Pills are ordinarily expensive, so how could they suddenly become cheap? They were not novices among cultivators.

”Fellow Daoist, these arenʼt all dregs, or Fake Pills, or Counterfeit Pills, are they?” a certain cultivator couldnʼt help but ask aloud.

These three types of Spirit Pills, as their names imply, contain a large amount of pill toxins and are harmful and of no benefit to Cultivators. However, they were disguised using a special technique that made them indistinguishable from ordinary Spirit Pills and required close observation to tell the real from the fake.

There were also masters of this craft, whose concealment techniques were exquisite and beyond detection by ordinary Cultivators.

And such Spirit Pills were typically sold cheaply to attract Loose Cultivators or inexperienced young fellows to buy.

Or they would pose as an Alchemist never seen before, make a deal, and then leave.

”If my fellow Daoists do not trust, feel free to probe with Divine Sense,” Li Zhirui said indifferently.

He was well aware that selling Spirit Pills cheaply would raise many doubts, but he had not deceived anyone and was not afraid of inspection.

The reason for the low prices was mainly to sell off the accumulated Spirit Pills as quickly as possible and gather Spirit Stones, for after this time, Li Zhirui planned to go into secluded cultivation, preparing for his rush to Golden Core.
