Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 776 - 782: Handover

The most important thing was that the Fusion Qi Pill recipe they had perfected was based on the Purification Principle and Frost Snow Law that they practiced!

Later, after detecting flaws in the pill recipe, they further refined it to create the Chaotic Fusion Qi Pill.

In other words, they now had three versions of the pill recipe, including a perfected one that Li Zhirui could use directly. What more could he possibly quibble over?

”Li, I plan to offer the pill recipe to obtain Contribution Value and exchange it for Spirit Seeds and the Ascension Void Array. What do you think?” Li Zhirui asked.

After all, no matter what, the perfection of the pill recipe was greatly related to Yu Xue; thus, he naturally needed to ask for her opinion on how to handle it.

If Yu Xue agreed directly, that would, of course, be the best outcome, but even if she was not willing, Li Zhirui would still offer the pill recipe.

For all the years he had completed missions, Li Zhirui had spent all of his Contribution Value on exchanging for Spiritual Objects, and more than a decade ago, the Yuanhao Realm had already shown signs of collapse and was now being pushed to the brink of defeat with the end of the war swiftly approaching.

Of course, the Profound Origin Realm was also under immense pressure because, up to now, only cultivators had been fighting the enemy, with neither demon cultivators nor members of the Devil Race having joined the fray.

Clearly, the cultivators were planning to claim this enormous achievement for themselves to further consolidate the position of Immortal Tao within the Profound Origin Realm.

Although the cultivators of Immortal Tao were formidable, they still lacked when compared to a whole world, especially with the recent frenzy and disregard for life, which resulted in heavy casualties.

Therefore, proposals to let demon cultivators and powers like the Devil Race join the battle were gradually surfacing; after all, with the war nearly over and the lionʼs share of credit already secured, parting with a minor remainder posed no great issue.

And if they did indeed proceed in this manner, it would further accelerate the conquest of the Yuanhao Realm!

However, this also meant that Li Zhirui had limited time left to acquire Contribution Value.

If he missed this chance, the cost he would have to pay for obtaining Spirit Seeds and Array Diagrams later on could be many times higher than today!

Regardless, Li Zhirui wouldnʼt miss this opportunity. If Yu Xue disagreed, he would have no choice but to part ways with a comrade who was a good match for him.

”This pill recipe was created by you, Li, I merely lent a little help. You may do with it as you please,” Yu Xue said.

After a pause, Yu Xue continued, ”But as you know, the sect I belong to is only average in strength and also needs the Fusion Qi Pill. So, I hope you will allow me to offer the pill recipe to my sect.”

Yu Xue spoke modestly. Average in strength? Although her Luofu Mountain was not a top-tier power, it was only a step behind the major forces!

”The pill recipe contains much of your hard work, it is your achievement, and you are free to dispose of it as you wish,” Li Zhirui said delightedly.

In doing so, both of them achieved their goals!

But in reality, Li Zhirui was the one who benefited most; after all, he was offering the pill recipe to top-tier powers who, facing such a Precious Pill that could accelerate the Divine Transformation process, would surely value it immensely and offer generous rewards. He was likely to obtain everything he sought.

Yu Xue, however, was merely offering it to her sect, which may not reward her as generously as Li Zhirui.

Yet it wasnʼt without benefits for her: at least after this event, her reputation within the Luofu Sect would surely soar, earning the gratitude of many Divine Transformation cultivators.

”You should go to the Cloud Palace Hall to offer the pill recipe. I will not accompany you there,” Yu Xue said at the opportune moment, bidding farewell.

If she went along, it would certainly dilute some of the credit and rewards. She was content with the recognition from her sect.

”Thank you, Li, for your understanding,” Li Zhirui said with a bow, respectfully seeing Yu Xue off.

After composing himself, he strode towards the grand hall at the center of Cloud Palace.

ʼDemon cultivators and members of the Devil Race have already joined the battle?ʼ

Along the way, Li Zhirui noticed that the once sparsely populated Cloud Palace was now bustling with activity, with many demon cultivators and members of the Devil Race in sight.

To the lower-level cultivators, they and the demon cultivators, as well as the members of the Devil Race, were naturally in a situation of irreconcilable enmity, incompatible as fire and water; yet, among the higher echelons, although mutual hostility existed, conflicts seldom truly erupted.

This was because at their level, the main goal was Ascension, to leave the Profound Origin Realm—a remote, barren world with thin spiritual energy—and head for a bigger, broader universe.

It was not about fighting to the death over doctrinal disputes or racial conflicts and causing heaven-and-earth shattering battles—there was no need for that.

Therefore, on the road, when Li Zhirui encountered demon cultivators and members of the Devil Race, he acted as if he hadnʼt seen them at all, walking straight past them, and they did the same.

The well water did not interfere with the river water, there was a clear demarcation!

Before long, Li Zhirui arrived at the grand hall of the Cloud Palace, the core area of this magical treasure.

”Li Zhirui of the Wanxian Island Li family requests an audience for an important matter!”

This grand hall of the Cloud Palace was where cultivators discussed important matters. Li Zhirui had been there a few times before, but he had only listened in and never spoken.

Normally, there would be several Divine Transformation cultivators from the top factions seated in the hall to guard against emergencies, and it was rare for anyone to come specifically for an audience.

So, although they had never heard of his name, Li Zhiruiʼs sudden visit still got him admitted.

”I pay my respects to all the seniors present!” Li Zhirui bowed deeply.

There were three people seated, and the one in the center was someone he actually knew—it was Elder Song, the one who had brought him here.

Indeed! This seniorʼs status was truly extraordinary. Li Zhirui thought to himself.

”What brings Friend Li here?” Elder Song asked with a smile.

”This junior, together with another cultivator, has created a fifth-order Pill Recipe, which can accelerate the cultivation speed of Divine Transformation cultivators.”

Elder Song addressed Li Zhirui as a friend, but he certainly did not have the status to truly call him that.

At first, the three of them didnʼt take Li Zhiruiʼs words seriously, even the seemingly most amiable and approachable Elder Song felt the same.

Even compared to the other two, he was more skeptical, for he knew that Li Zhirui had only recently made a breakthrough, and even if he had exceptional talent, the pill recipe he created was likely more gimmicky than practical.

But to their utmost surprise, the Pill Recipe that Li Zhirui spoke of had such an important effect!

”Is what you say true!?” Elder Song asked with a stern face.

”What this junior has said is not false in the slightest!” replied Li Zhirui with equal gravity.

”Take out the Precious Pill for us to discern its validity,” urged another Divine Transformation cultivator, becoming impatient.

Li Zhirui handed over the three Chaotic Fusion Qi Pills that he had prepared in advance, while explaining, ”This is the most basic version of the Precious Pill, one pill can roughly compensate for a decade of Divine Transformation cultivation, but it takes three days to completely assimilate.”

”Basic?”

Elder Song caught the crucial point with acuity and inquired, ”Do you mean there is an advanced version?”

”Correct! This Pill Recipe can be modified according to the Laws controlled by the cultivator, with effects roughly enhanced by fifty percent,” Li Zhirui said with considerable respect, but his words carried a hint of pride.
