Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 829: Chapter 835: Surprise

Ever since Li Zhirui established the Purification Spirit Realm, he had exhausted various methods to increase the presence of the Purification Principle within the realm, and his efforts had not been in vain.

With the collaborative influence of various Spiritual Objects, the realm’s Purification Principle had neared its limits. Li Zhirui could sense the existence of the laws whenever he wished, greatly aiding his cultivation.

But what excited him the most was not just that; incredibly, the realm even started to produce extremely pure Purifying Primordial Qi!

One must know that the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators involved refining and merging with the Primal Qi of heaven and earth.

And Primal Qi, to a certain extent, was a derivative of the Laws - present in every corner of the world but sparse and incredibly impure.

It was precisely because of this fact that the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators proved to be so strenuous and slow, extracting the specific type of Qi they required from the myriad forms of Primal Qi was an extremely daunting task.

Even though Li Zhirui had created and perfected the Fusion Qi Pill, which accelerated the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators, it utilized a main ingredient and the individual’s merged Primal Qi, with the special effects of Rongxi Cao speeding up the refinement of the desired Qi from the heavenly and earthly Primal Qi.

Indeed, this method was quite effective, yet when compared to the pure Qi being gently formed before him, it was still vastly inadequate.

Because Li Zhirui could bypass the process of extracting Qi from the heaven and earth altogether and directly refine and merge with this pure Purifying Primordial Qi!

”No wonder those top powers have never ceased to have cultivators undergo Ascension, the Spirit Realm holds such an important secret!” he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Of course, these conditions were impossible for the large powers to monopolize, as certainly there were many cultivators, like Li Zhirui, who had amassed Spiritual Objects in hopes of growing the realm’s laws.

However, every power that was aware of this fact had implicitly agreed to keep it a secret.

The reason was that it required a massive amount of Spiritual Objects to achieve this, and these items were limited; adding one more competitor meant spending more Spirit Stones.

”No wonder the family has not managed to purchase a fifth-order Spirit Plant for so many years; it seems likely that certain large powers have monopolized it.”

In the wild, there might be fifth-order Spirit Plants discovered by Loose Cultivators or minor powers, but regardless of the low probability, one thing was certain - the moment they wished to trade their Spiritual Objects, they would attract the attention of the relevant large powers!

”Could it be that the fourth-order Secret Realm in the Boundless Sea might have fifth-order Spirit Plants?”

Li Zhirui was inclined to believe so. Based on Xiaoqing’s brief exploration, the Secret Realm was rich in Spiritual Energy and had various Devil Beast Tribes appearing.

The former was a necessary condition for the birth of fifth-order Spirit Plants, while the latter played a somewhat positive role in protecting these rare plants.

Every part of a fifth-order Spirit Plant was a treasure, and even if it did not bear fruit, it would have other uses and would surely be valued and protected by those Devil Beasts.

”I should simply sell this fifth-order Wood-Attribute Spirit Plant in my possession to the family, to establish a Spirit Realm sooner and start producing related Primordial Qi earlier.”

Li Zhirui had considered this plan for a long time but had yet to put it into action.

However, there was still an issue to consider; the Wood Principle was an extensive Law, one of the fundamental laws that supported the world! It gave rise to countless derivative laws.

In the strictest sense, the Purification Principle that Li Zhirui was currently cultivating also belonged to a derivation of the Wood Principle.

So if he used the Flowing Brilliance Spiritual Plant to create a Spirit Realm, what kind of Primordial Qi would be produced was unknown to Li Zhirui.

Putting these unresolved matters aside, Li Zhirui made a request to the family to use a fifth-order Spirit Plant to establish a Wood-Attribute Spirit Realm.

Li Mingzi and the Elders were, of course, overjoyed; they’d always wanted to establish a Spirit Realm, but the high initial requirements had restrained them.

They quickly came to a decision, which was for the family to purchase the Spirit Plant in Li Zhirui’s possession and offered a very fair price—payment with family Contribution Value.

Naturally, Li Zhirui wouldn’t oppose this. Although he couldn’t even remember how many Contribution Values he had, who would complain about having too much of such a thing?

After obtaining the family’s consent, Li Zhirui left the Spirit Realm to search for the most suitable location to open a Wood-Attribute Spiritual Realm.

Li Zhirui had surveyed all the family territories while establishing the Purification Spirit Realm and had already made his plans. Now, it was just a matter of confirming them, as several years had passed.

But no changes had occurred because the Li family wouldn’t easily alter their established layout—it was too complicated and too much of a hassle.

Thus, areas that had been used to plant Spiritual Medicine decades ago were still being used to plant Spiritual Medicine after all those years.

The place Li Zhirui chose to open the Spirit Realm was on Spirit Medicine Mountain on Wanxian Island, which bore the most abundant Spiritual Medicine. Atop this majestic mountain, the Li family had constructed countless medicinal gardens, providing the family with a vast amount of basic Spiritual Medicine.

Due to the growth in Li Zhirui’s strength and previous experience, opening the Wood-Attribute Spiritual Realm was slightly easier, but he still used up two rounds of mana—it was just that he didn’t become as drained as the last time, to the point where he couldn’t even remain suspended in the air.

After establishing the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui returned to wait quietly for the Spirit Realm to stabilize.

As days passed, Li Zhirui, absorbed in cultivation, didn’t notice that the new Spirit Realm had already fully formed.

Because he was cultivating, he left a Sound Transmission Talisman informing others of this and left Li Mingzi to lead the family members into the Spirit Realm for a visit.

What caught Li Mingzi and the others’ eyes first was naturally the Spirit Plant in the center of the Spirit Realm.

Its branches were numerous, like infinite green leaves overlapping, so dense that one couldn’t see clearly inside, and very short, standing only about five or six feet tall, but it exuded an incredibly rich vitality.

”What a pity, it didn’t advance to a Spiritual Root,” one Elder lamented.

But this was the common, normal occurrence—the fact that the Five Elements Jade Peach in the first Spirit Realm established by the family could evolve into a Spiritual Root was actually an anomaly.

”Does this Spirit Realm seem a bit larger?”

”Not just that, the Spiritual Energy feels even denser.”

Other clan members paid more attention to other aspects of the Spirit Realm, especially those who principally cultivated the Wood Spirit Root; they were absolutely thrilled.

Spirit Realms corresponding to one’s own Spiritual Root were known to assist with cultivation, a fact that had long spread within the family; how could they not be excited?

”Why prioritize establishing a Wood-Attribute Spiritual Realm when the family has more members with other types of Spiritual Roots?” With some happy, there were naturally those dissatisfied.

In truth, many clan members possessed Wood Spirit Roots, but few practiced it, unless the purity of their Wood Spirit Root far surpassed that of other Spiritual Roots.

The reason for this was simple: Wood Spirit Root cultivators had too weak attacking power!

Li Zhirui couldn’t be used as a reference. After all, a significant part of his combat power could be attributed to those special Spirit Vines.

But the other family members didn’t have access to a space that could accelerate growth like he did, how could they afford to throw a handful of Spirit Vines into every battle?
