Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 791 - 797: Take Note

”In addition to that, thereʼs also some insights into the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm, a Fourth-order Dust Cleansing Green Willow spirit plant, and spirit seeds for two types of Fifth-order main herbs used to concoct the Fusion Qi Pills,”

Listening to Li Zhiruiʼs words, everyone gradually went from shock to numbness, not daring to imagine that he could acquire so many precious spiritual objects from just one trip outside!

It took a while before Jiang Fengwu snapped back to reality and asked, ”You must have gone through a lot to obtain these things, right?”

”It wasnʼt as dangerous as you all think. Besides, Iʼve safely returned, havenʼt I?” Since the event had passed, Li Zhirui naturally didnʼt hold onto any grievances to share with them.

Seeing that everyone still appeared solemn, he laughed and said, ”Whatʼs with all of you? Arenʼt you happy to see me back?”

”Jiu, I will diligently cultivate from now on, striving to break through to the Fifth-order as quickly as possible! If we ever encounter such a situation again, you wonʼt have to fight alone,” Da Qing said, his fighting spirit soaring high at this moment.

”Do you really think an encounter like the Great War between Two Realms comes by that easily?”

Li Zhirui fully appreciated Da Qingʼs goodwill but still advised, ”You should cultivate not for me, but for yourself, and donʼt rush things too much.”

Despite his counseling, everyone still resolved to practice even harder, wanting to help Li Zhirui as soon as possible.

After chatting idly with everyone for a while, a trace of weariness couldnʼt help but creep onto Li Zhiruiʼs face. He had been on the move for several months, and in between, he had even resolved a troublesome issue for the family; even with his cultivation level, he was starting to falter.

”Iʼm going to rest first. We can talk about anything else later.”

Having said that, he didnʼt stand on ceremony with everyone and immediately left with a flash.

This scene worried everyone greatly; they feared that Li Zhirui might be injured and didnʼt want to show it in front of them, which is why he had hurried off into the quiet room.

If Li Zhirui knew what they were thinking, he would have been amused and then clarified that they were overthinking it—he was just tired and not injured at all.

”Shen, youʼve been with Jiu all along, so you must know his condition, right?”

Seeing Jiang Fengwu and others still present, Shen cut himself off, ”Iʼve been inside the Spirit Beast Bag all this time, and I havenʼt come out even once since those years in The Void.”

Jiang Fengwu, seeing that he wouldnʼt get any information, stood up and left.

The others gradually dispersed as well. Although there were rooms for them in the mountain peakʼs dwelling, they each had their own caves and naturally didnʼt wish to stay.

Da Qing and Xiaoqing, with Shen, went to Cangʼs cave to inquire thoroughly about Li Zhiruiʼs experiences over the years.

”After Jiu reached The Void, he only entered the space a few times with his Spiritual Soul to have me plant some spiritual objects. Only once did he enter with his physical body, gave himself a heavy slap, injured himself badly, and then immediately left,” explained Shen.

The three of them didnʼt understand this at all because, without knowing the cause and effect, they could not speculate about Li Zhiruiʼs experiences.

”Oh, and about one or two months later, Jiu sent in two Fifth-order Spirit Vine seeds for me to accelerate their growth with Spirit Stones, harvesting the seeds, in preparation to battle a certain Demon Cultivator.”

”Judging from the circumstances, Jiu didnʼt seem to lose out because there were no serious injuries on him when he entered the space to tally the Demon Cultivatorʼs spiritual objects.”

Upon reaching this point, Shen couldnʼt help but complain, ”That Demon Cultivator was a complete pauper. He hardly had any spiritual objects with him.”

From Sudanliʼs Storage Magical Treasure, Li Zhirui only obtained some Fourth-order spiritual objects, some Demonic Tao methods, more than forty high-quality Spirit Stones, and almost a thousand medium-quality Spirit Stones.

It might seem like a substantial gain, but in reality, a large part of the Fourth-order spiritual objects were things like bones and Yin Evil objects, which he couldnʼt use at all.

Not to mention the Demonic Tao methods.

It was only those Spirit Stones that could slightly soothe Li Zhiruiʼs disappointment.

Meanwhile, Li Mingzi was interrogating several Nascent Soul cultivators who had been captured, accompanied by some Elders.

”Which clan or sect are you from? Why did you move against the Li family? With such a massive organization formed, is there a power behind you secretly aiding you?”

”Donʼt even think about lying, otherwise the pain you are enduring now will be multiplied several times over!”

At first, they could grit their teeth and persevere, but as the poison and sensory enhancing pills were administered, it didnʼt take long for them to completely collapse!

All of them scrambled to reply first, hoping to alleviate the severe pain seeping out of their marrow.

Looking at their answers, Li Mingzi furrowed her brows. Their backgrounds were indeed different, but it was true that they had been coerced by the Li family and had come to hate the Li family from then on.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that even if they managed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they couldnʼt take revenge; instead, they would be putting themselves in jeopardy. Therefore, initially, they did not contemplate taking revenge against the Li family.

It was only later, being beguiled, that they formed this idea and put it into action.

And the power behind them was none other than Green Sea Sect of Cang Hai Province, a Divinity Transformation force!

”Our family has never had dealings with Green Sea Sect. Why would they target us?”

An Elder questioned the answer, speculating, ”Itʼs possible that they are making unfounded claims, intentionally framing us to pit our family against Green Sea Sect with the goal of letting others do their dirty work for them.”

ʼGreen Sea Sect...ʼ

Li Mingziʼs eyebrows knit slightly. If she remembered correctly, this sect had produced its first Divine Transformation cultivator a thousand years ago. Since then, it had grown stronger and now boasted three Divine Transformation Elders and nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators. Their power was not something the Li family could compare with!

But Li Mingzi tended to believe that the Elderʼs deductions werenʼt lies. After all, they were interrogated separately, and the methods used were so brutal that it seemed unlikely any of them would lie.

But why would such a sect frame the Li family for no apparent reason?

A threat? With the Li familyʼs current strength, they werenʼt even worthy of the term!

”Clan Leader, how should we handle this matter now?”

Li Mingzi pondered for a moment and said, ”I will personally visit Ancestor Rui to ask for his advice.”

Unfortunately, when she reached the mountain peak cavern, Li Zhirui was resting!

After returning to Wanxian Island, he rested for three full days!

Three days later, Li Zhirui emerged from his room looking refreshed.

Then he saw the Sound Transmission Talisman left by Li Mingzi, activated it with a gesture, and heard her asking about how to deal with those cultivators and the results of the interrogation.

”Green Sea Sect?”

When Li Zhirui saw this name, he found it very strange. Without any contact between the Li family and them, why would they be so eager to scheme against the Li family?

Yet, their strength made Li Zhirui wary of making any rash movements.

After some thought, he sent back a Sound Transmission Talisman with a solution to Li Mingzi.

ʼDownplay this matter?ʼ

Li Mingzi thought the same, but if such words came from her, given her authority, it would be impossible to make all the family members accept it.

Thatʼs why she thought of using Li Zhirui to settle this matter. Fortunately, the development of the situation unfolded just as she had anticipated, without any deviation.
