Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 400 - 406: Trouble

```

The journey back to the clan was already long, and whatʼs more, Li Zhirui would also stop at various Immortal Cities and Marketplaces, spending time to purchase Spiritual Objects. Although each stop took only two to three days, the time added up to a rather significant amount.

Moreover, Li Zhirui was not in a hurry to return; he integrated the experience of his journey into his cultivation, trying to find an opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul threshold.

Add to that the occasional unexpected events that further delayed Li Zhiruiʼs return to Wanxian Island.

”Senior, the Qilin Miracle Fruit and Phoenix Spirit Flower Seed that you wished to purchase were bought by a Nascent Soul Senior not long ago. The earliest we can ship them from our headquarters is ten days from now.”

”However, Senior can have a look at other Spiritual Objects. Their effects are not inferior to those two, and some are even better by a good margin.”

Li Zhirui frowned slightly; he was purchasing these two types of Spiritual Medicine not for concocting Spirit Pills, but for the beasts and birds belonging to his familyʼs two types of Spirit Beasts.

From the names of the Spiritual Medicines, it was clear that they were closely related to the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan. Taken in large quantities, they could enhance the bloodlines of these two types of Spirit Beasts.

Of course, given the rarity of these two Spiritual Medicines, as well as the centuries it took for them to mature, the bloodline enhancement of Spirit Beasts was undoubtedly an endeavor that required an immense amount of time and wealth.

”Forget it.” These two Spiritual Medicines were not the exclusive products of this shop alone; it was just that its location was more prominent, which was why Li Zhirui had approached it first.

Li Zhirui embarked once more on his journey to purchase Spiritual Objects, but the situation that unfolded next made him feel something was amiss!

Everywhere he went, the Qilin Miracle Fruit and Phoenix Spirit Flower were nowhere to be found!

It should be known that, although these two types of Spiritual Medicine were precious, their uses were not extensive. Besides cultivating Spirit Beasts, they could only be used to concoct special Spirit Pills, not to mention now even the Spirit Seeds were bought up.

”Did you hear? A Divine Transformation Realm Elder of Lingxuan Sect acquired two extraordinary Spirit Beasts. He is now buying at high prices all kinds of Spiritual Objects that can enhance Spirit Beast bloodlines! A lucky Foundation Establishment Cultivator, just because of a few Spiritual Medicines, was gifted a Gold Core Formation Pill!”

Even though in the Central Region Golden Core Cultivators are as common as cabbages and Foundation Establishment Cultivators are inferior to dogs, the status of Golden Core Cultivators is not low; absolutely not someone to be looked down upon, especially considering their lifespan of five hundred years! One can only imagine the allure of such an offer.

As soon as these words came out, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present showed faces full of envy, wishing they had such good fortune.

”But why does this Elder want to put so much effort into cultivating Spirit Beasts? Even if their bloodlines are noble, they have only just been born. To raise them, not to mention the number of Spiritual Objects it would consume, wouldnʼt it take hundreds of years before they could be of any use to this Elder?”

Once this point was raised, many sensed something strange and off-kilter, but because it involved a Divine Transformation Realm Elder, they dared not speak their thoughts freely.

Similar talk was rampant, and it had spread everywhere. Even Li Zhirui, who spent most of his time on the road, had heard some of it.

”Could it be that this Elder is eyeing the bloodlines of those two Divine Beasts?” This was Li Zhiruiʼs first reaction upon hearing the news.

There were countless rumors about Divine Beast bloodlines. Some said that after assimilation, one could improve their aptitude; others said it could extend oneʼs lifespan; and yet others said that one would become assimilated by the bloodlines, no longer part of the human race.

In any case, all kinds of rumors were abundant, but they had always been just that—rumors. After all, the Divine Beast clans had significant power, and with their direct descendants scarce and highly valued, they were protected at the heart of their clan territories.

By the time they grew up, they were at least Fourth Order, or possibly comparable to the Divinity Transformation Realm Fifth Order, which was not so easily defeated, right?

And this individual who underwent Divine Transformation took a different path: they started with the side branches of Divine Beasts, using Spiritual Objects to induce a bloodline reversal back to their ancestors, thereby acquiring the bloodline of a Divine Beast.

”It seems that the Central Region is about to get lively!” Li Zhirui murmured to himself.

Whether those two great Divine Beast clans would take action was unclear to him, but Li Zhirui was certain that those in the Central Region, whose lifespans were reaching their ends or those ancient beings, would definitely keep their eyes on this matter!

Even though the effects of a Divine Beastʼs bloodline had always been inconclusive, with only rumors suggesting it could extend oneʼs life, these people would absolutely take action!

Although Li Zhirui wanted to witness the elegance of an elder who had undergone Divine Transformation, it was definitely not in this kind of chaotic situation. If he were not careful and ended up killed or injured, that would be terribly unfortunate.

”I just hope that this matter wonʼt affect Zhiyue and Zhixuan,” Li Zhirui sighed helplessly. One was too far away, and he didnʼt even know where the other was; he couldnʼt even give a warning if he wanted to.

Of these two, he was more worried about Li Zhixuan, who had been missing for many years without a trace, her cultivation level unknown.

”I can no longer continue to stay near the Lingxuan Sect, lest it drags me into it,” Li Zhirui thought. Now he only wanted to break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible, and he vaguely saw the scenery behind the gate. Why would he engage in such risky acts?

So he decisively controlled the Spirit Boat and flew towards the east, eager to leave the sphere of influence of the Lingxuan Sect as quickly as possible.

However, what Li Zhirui didnʼt know was that various situations that had stemmed from this affair had already begun to erupt!

And they even involved Li Zhixuan, whom he was concerned about.

”I wonder why you all are blocking my way?” Li Zhixuan looked coldly at the several people in front of her, her right hand ready to strike. If they made any move, she would draw her sword and slay them without hesitation!

”Weʼve heard that not long ago you acquired several five-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruits. Do you still have them? We are willing to buy them at a price 30% above the market rate.”

The Vermilion Fruit had the effect of purifying the bloodline and enhancing Mana!

Facing Li Zhixuan, the notorious Rakshasa Woman, they truly did not want to fight with her. Although they had the advantage in numbers and might very likely win, it would definitely result in several deaths!

Because once she took action, she did so without any regard for her own life, as if there was no such thing as retreat in her eyes. Hence, if they could resolve the issue peacefully, they would rather spend more Spirit Stones than engage in battle with Li Zhixuan.

Moreover, even if they bought the fruits at a 30% premium, they would still profit and might even gain the favor of a Divine Transformation elder. From then on, they could rise high and become a Golden Core True Person.

”Not for sale,” Li Zhixuan said in a flat yet resoundingly firm tone.

The few Vermilion Fruits were meant to be taken back to her clan for Jiu. She had never thought of selling them, even though she knew that a certain Divine Transformation elder was currently collecting Spiritual Objects in large quantities.

”Weʼre giving you face, but that doesnʼt mean weʼre afraid of you. Donʼt fail to recognize whatʼs good for you!” the leading cultivator said, suppressing his anger.

What answered him was a sword light from Li Zhixuan, so piercingly sharp it seemed it could split The Void!
