Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 543 - 549: Distribution

”Hmm?”

Originally thought to be a fish on the chopping board, it turned out that the opponent had hidden depths.

The white-clothed demon cultivatorʼs brows furrowed slightly, no longer showing the casualness of before, as his ten fingers flicked rapidly, casting afterimages in their wake.

Over a dozen puppets attacked at once, various spells flying simultaneously, creating a dazzling display of Spirit Light that looked very dangerous.

But in the face of the onslaught of the fourth-order Talismans, they still seemed fragile, shattering upon contact.

However, Talismans are just Talismans after all. No matter how powerful, they are like rootless duckweed. Once the Mana of the Talismans is exhausted, Jiang Fengwu, with little Mana remaining, will still be unable to escape from the palm of his hand.

But what he hadnʼt considered was that Jiang Fengwu had other Talismans in her hand!

A third-order Earth Escape Talisman was enough to ensure her escape.

Looking at the empty space before him, the white-clothed demon cultivatorʼs face looked extremely ugly, the prey that had been within his grasp had flown away!

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, the barely escaped Jiang Fengwu, although covered in wounds, was smiling brilliantly.

She knew her actions had been extremely dangerous. A slight misstep could have resulted in serious injury or even death. Thankfully, she had made the right gamble and at the brink of life and death, she had touched upon the gates of the Nascent Soul!

Next, all Jiang Fengwu needed to do was return to Wanxian Island, heal her injuries, and after a few years of secluded cultivation, take the Nascent Soul Pill that Li Zhirui had meticulously prepared for her.

By then, her chances of Transforming the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul would be greatly elevated. As long as no accidents occurred, she would become a Nascent Soul True Lord!

Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Fengwuʼs face became even more radiant.

However, for now, she needed to fly quickly to the nearest Immortal City and get some temporary treatment for her wounds.

——

On Wanxian Island.

The grief that the great battle had brought to the clan members had already become very faint over time, replaced by an atmosphere of joy and cheerfulness.

There were many reasons for this change. Firstly, the Spiritual Energy on Wanxian Island had become very rich, providing clan members with an excellent cultivation environment.

Secondly, many clan members had gained insights during the great battle, and after a period of secluded cultivation, most had succeeded, with only a few unfortunate failures during major breakthroughs.

The last and most critical reason.

That was Li Xuefengʼs reform of the clanʼs Spirit Fields!

The Spirit Fields previously managed by the clan were distributed to adult members or to those who had reached the later stage of Qi Cultivation to plant themselves. After the crops mature, they only need to hand over forty percent to the clan, with the remainder belonging to themselves.

Of course, the ownership of the Spirit Fields remained with the clan, members only had the right to use them. Upon death, the fields would be reclaimed and redistributed to other clan members.

It meant that when the clan members became more numerous in the future, and the Spirit Fields on Wanxian Island were not sufficient to distribute, some clan membersʼ Spirit Fields would have to be arranged in places like Yunping State.

If not handled well, it could very likely cause conflicts within the clan.

However, this was still a distant concern for the current state of the Li family.

Moreover, from the current situation, this method had considerable benefits. It had suddenly motivated the clan members, with everyone tending to their own Spirit Fields with great care.

The Li family was developing rapidly with vibrant energy. At the same time, people like Li Zhixuan and Li Zhiyue were not idling either.

Although the Li family currently lacked the power to control such a vast territory, they had secured ownership rights, especially those forces that were originally affiliated with Shen Leishan, which needed to re-acknowledge their new masters.

If offering tribute is acceptable, thatʼs all well and good, but if they remain stubborn and deluded, they canʼt blame the Li family for being ruthless.

It is known that in this region, apart from Li Zhirui, there is no other Nascent Soul True Lord. Li Zhixuan and Li Zhiyue, both at the Golden Core Late Stage, along with several Golden Core practitioners like Li Chenghuo, already represent the pinnacle of strength, not to mention they are accompanied by several third-order Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.

With such a scale of combat power, no force can withstand them, especially with Li Zhirui, the Nascent Soul True Lord, backing them up.

Although after the great battle, Li Zhirui had not shown himself in public, rumors claimed he was gravely injured. But as long as he lived, no matter how severe his injuries, he remained as a towering mountain over their heads.

All forces obediently submitted to the Li family, including the die-hard followers of Shen Leishan.

Unless they were willing to follow Shen Leishan to its downfall, or abandon their sects and clan lands that they had operated for many years and flee elsewhere.

But clearly, a sect that had been wiped out wasnʼt worth such a heavy price to them.

The resources offered by these forces alone were worth half the Spiritual Objects expended by the Li family in the war, in addition to the various precious Spiritual Objects they looted from Shen Leishanʼs treasury.

Apart from some clansmen who perished, the Li family not only didnʼt suffer losses but actually profited handsomely.

However, as the Li familyʼs strength was limited, they were unable to govern many of their vassal forces. Therefore, they merely required them to submit a certain amount of tribute each year, without asking for much else.

”Finally, itʼs done, and we can return to Wanxian Island!” Li Chenghuo sighed with a sense of relief.

During this time, they really ran around tirelessly, and even as cultivators, they were somewhat overwhelmed.

”Since that is the case, letʼs set off to go back,” Li Zhixuan said with a light smile.

She was eager to return and check if Li Zhirui had recovered from his injuries.

Ever since she realized the severity of his injuries, Li Zhixuan couldnʼt stop worrying about it in her heart.

Everyone had been away for a long time and naturally had no objections.

Silently, the Spirit Boat flew at top speed back to Wanxian Island.

”We were only gone for less than a month, yet the family has undergone such a huge change?!”

Rich Spiritual Energy formed a thin layer of mist, a large expanse of freshly sprouted lush Spiritual Objects, and the buzz of bees filled the air, presenting a vibrant and beautiful scene.

Seeing the completely different landscape and feeling the rich Spiritual Energy around them, everyoneʼs faces displayed surprise and admiration.

After they dispersed, Li Zhixuan made a special trip to Li Zhiruiʼs cave dwelling.

”Lady Xuan, youʼre back?”

Li Chengshuo answered the door, and without waiting for Li Zhixuan to enter, he eagerly asked, ”Did those forces submit? Did you have to fight?”

”Of course, they submitted. With so many of us showing up at their doorstep, how could they dare to resist?”

Seeing that Li Chengshuo still had questions, Li Zhixuan cut him off, asking, ”How is Jiu doing? Has he left seclusion?”

”No.”

Li Chengshuo spoke without a hint of worry on his face, but rather with great joy, ”Dad sent a message a few days ago, saying he is entering closed-door cultivation to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and wonʼt come out for a while.”

Li Zhixuanʼs expression became somewhat strange. Although it sounded like there was no problem, she had an uneasy feeling in her heart.

”Then thatʼs for the best.” Showing no sign of her emotions in front of her junior, she chatted idly for a bit before leaving.
