Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1180: Breakthrough

Although he was already healed, Li Zhirui was still quite cautious as he cultivated, not daring to fully let loose, as his body was still somewhat weak.

Once he got through this period, he wouldn’t have such concerns and would begin to fully push towards late-stage Independent Immortal.

A large amount of Spiritual Energy gathered around Li Zhirui as he operated his cultivation technique, forming a small vortex around him. The blue-green Spirit Light spun rapidly, repelling other Spiritual Energy.

Moreover, this approach had an advantage: it could roughly refine the Spiritual Energy externally, saving some time for the subsequent cultivation.

This little technique was something Li Zhirui developed after breaking through to the Independent Immortal Realm, once he had a sufficiently strong Spiritual Soul and could multitask.

From this, one could understand why new forces had such a significant gap in depth compared to the more established ones.

With thousands or tens of thousands of years of continuous heritage, they have accumulated countless similar little techniques and have a profound understanding of their own inheritance cultivation techniques. This is not something that can be caught up with quickly.

But for emerging forces, most of them rise suddenly due to a genius being born. If that person encounters any accident, they quickly decline again.

Fortunately, the Li family wasn’t just supported by Li Zhirui alone, but also by Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, Li Mingyao, and other excellent clansmen. The whole family has maintained a positive and progressive vigor over the years, allowing the Li family to move towards becoming an established family.

However, even so, the Li family still had a certain distance compared to true established families.

And this is the accumulation and sedimentation of time, not something that can be easily compensated for.

Now, back to the topic at hand!

Li Zhirui’s extensive absorption of Spiritual Energy naturally caught the attention of the staff responsible for leasing cave mansions, but noticing he paid sufficient Spirit Stones, they withdrew their gaze and paid no further heed.

Seeing breakthroughs of Independent Immortal cultivators so often, how could they put it in their mind?

With no one disturbing him, Li Zhirui spent several years successfully raising his cultivation by a small realm.

But he didn’t hurry to get up; with over a year left before the lease of the cave mansion expired, he naturally wanted to seize the time to solidify his cultivation.

Furthermore, what Li Zhirui needed to do next was very important: to deduce the subsequent cultivation technique!

Although he had already established a general outline for the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record” Immortal Realm Cultivation Method when he broke through to the Independent Immortal Realm, his realm then was insufficient, inevitably leading to some flaws.

So now, he needed to perfect it and subsequently develop the cultivation technique for the Realm of Human Immortality.

Fortunately, there were no more bottlenecks in the upcoming cultivation. Plus, with the Yellow Millet Awakening Pillow in hand, he could save over a hundred years of time. Otherwise, who knows how many years it would take for him to break through to the Realm of Human Immortality.

Time flew by, and on the evening before the cave mansion’s lease expired, Li Zhirui no longer immersed himself in cultivation but rather took stock of the spiritual objects he had on him.

Then he was surprised to find that he had actually become a ’pauper’!

It’s a bit exaggerated to say so, but compared to the spiritual objects he once had, the now half-empty Storage Magical Treasure did indeed qualify him as a pauper.

The largest expenditure was the lease of the cultivation cave mansion.

During the five years, Li Zhirui paid an astronomical sum!

If not for him being an Alchemy Master, with wealth far exceeding ordinary people, he would have been drained dry long ago.

Of course, these secluded breakthrough-leasing cave mansions are different from ordinary ones; they not only guarantee your safety but also provide ample Spiritual Energy and even assist in protection.

So, the next day, Li Zhirui leased an ordinary cave mansion and planned to stay there for a while to refine a batch of Precious Pills.

After all, with Spirit Stones, he could purchase some local specialty spiritual objects to replenish the spiritual objects he was lacking.

As for alchemy materials, with an entire space planted with various spiritual objects, he would never lack such things.

Moreover, it was a perfect opportunity to manage the spiritual objects that had been left to grow wildly for decades.

After much effort, Li Zhirui managed to organize the spiritual objects in different parts of the space. Meanwhile, the Storage Magical Treasure also contained a large number of spiritual objects, preparing for the upcoming alchemy.

As a rare Water Refining Alchemist, the biggest difference from ordinary Alchemists was that he could refine a large number of Precious Pills at once!

Of course, not every Water Refining Alchemist could do this; it required extremely strong Divine Sense control, vast Mana, and superb alchemy skills.

And fortunately, Li Zhirui happened to meet these three conditions!

When regular Alchemists opened their cauldrons for alchemy, they could produce at most ten pills, but he could produce dozens.

He once tested his limits and could simultaneously refine seven batches of materials, but the price was that the success rate would drop to sixty percent.

Also, the Precious Pills refined with the Water Refinement Method naturally had fewer impurities.

However, it wasn’t without flaws. For instance, the alchemy time was longer, and the effectiveness was slightly less when refining explosive-type pills.

In the following month, Li Zhirui spent his time cultivating and refining pills.

But this also brought him huge gains. From the Sixth Rank to the Ninth Rank Precious Pills, he refined a batch, and even at the worst, they were Mid-grade. If sold, they would amount to a massive fortune.

The next day, Li Zhirui set up a stall in the city, placed a bottle of each grade of Precious Pills, marked the price beside them, and set up a sign with the large words, ’Priority in exchange for various spiritual objects, Spirit Seeds, and secondly Spirit Stones.’
