Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1450: Chapter 1194: Thunder Tribulation

After several decades, Li Zhirui returned to Kunlun State. He spent some time locating the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and learned about fair prices without unexpected secluded cave mansions.

After a round of selection, he chose the best overall conditions in Shanyang City.

It wasn’t the most abundant in spiritual energy, nor the most fairly priced, but there had never been any incidents, and recently, there weren’t many cultivators renting cave mansions here.

Don’t think Li Zhirui is making a big deal out of it; this is very important!

Cultivation emphasizes method, wealth, companionship, and location; these four are actually equally important without distinction.

For his breakthrough into the Realm of Human Immortality, he naturally hoped to put more effort into these four aspects to hopefully have a favorable impact on the breakthrough.

Even if it’s just a little, that’s enough!

”What do you need, senior?”

As soon as Li Zhirui stepped into the shop, a staff member welcomed him and respectfully asked.

”I need a cave mansion suitable for breaking through to the Realm of Human Immortality.”

The staff’s eyes immediately lit up; this was truly a big customer. If he could meet this requirement, he could earn a generous commission and perhaps even receive a reward.

Other staff members nearby were deeply envious, their eyes red with jealousy.

With these thoughts in mind, the staff member’s attitude grew even more respectful, and his mind raced. Shortly after, he quickly said, ”Senior, we currently have five cave mansions that meet your requirements.”

Speaking, he led the way in front, bringing Li Zhirui into a quiet room.

After swiftly brewing a pot of Seventh Rank Spiritual Tea, he began the introduction, activating a projection orb he held, saying: ”The first cave mansion is located atop mountains, not only abundant in spiritual energy but also gathering Sun and Moon Essence. Most importantly, the nearest cave mansion is twenty miles away, reducing disturbances.”

Li Zhirui’s eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, but his face remained calm. This cave mansion was indeed nice, but there were still four remaining, so there’s no need to rush the choice.

”The second and third cave mansions are both located beside a flame pit, extremely rich in Fire Spirit Qi, making them ideal for cultivators with Fire Spirit Root to break through. Records show breakthroughs here have the opportunity to comprehend a Fire Attribute Divine Ability.”

Without a doubt, these two cave mansions were immediately rejected by Li Zhirui. Although they’re quite good, the attribute conflict completely presents trouble for his breakthrough.

”The fourth cave mansion is on a sandbar, with water, earth, and Wood Spirit Energy abundant around it...”

While speaking, the staff member carefully glanced at Li Zhirui, hoping to glean some reaction from his expression, but couldn’t discern anything.

”The last cave mansion is located above a mineral vein, rich in earth and gold spiritual energy...”

After a pause, the staff asked: ”Which cave mansion caught your interest, senior? We could conduct a field investigation before making the final decision.”

”No need.”

Li Zhirui waved his hand. Only the first and fourth cave mansions were suitable for him. In comparison, the sandbar cave mansion was more aligned with his Spiritual Root, yet the mountain-top cave mansion was more perfect.

So, after some consideration, he ultimately chose the sandbar cave mansion that better suited him.

”Then, may I ask, senior, how many years do you intend to rent? If it’s more than ten years, there will be some discount.”

Though not much, essentially a reduction of 9.7-8 percent, it still represents a considerable number of spirit stones.

”Fifteen years.”

Upon hearing these words, the staff’s face immediately blossomed into a brilliant smile and said, ”Please wait a moment, senior, I’ll bring the shopkeeper to sign the contract with you.”

”Alright.”

In no time, the staff brought a rotund, affluent-looking cultivator into the room, who offered a Jade Slip with both hands. ”If senior finds issues in the contract, we can modify them through negotiation.”

Li Zhirui quickly skimmed through it; the content essentially covered how many spirit stones he would pay in exchange for the services the cave mansion offered, such as guaranteeing abundant spiritual energy and providing breakthrough protection.

Overall, he was quite satisfied, so he didn’t waste any time and promptly signed the contract.

Once the transaction was completed, the shopkeeper and staff, seemingly specially trained, bowed in unison, saying: ”Wishing senior great success, a breakthrough achieved, and The Great Tao expected!”

”Naturally.”

Li Zhirui was filled with confidence about this breakthrough, thus spoke haughtily.

Of course, he also handed each of the pair a bottle of Seventh Rank Precious Pill for good luck.

”Human Immortal... such a distant realm!”

The shopkeeper, gazing at the receding figure, showed a face full of envy, but soon his expression darkened, knowing that he would never reach such a high realm in his lifetime.

Flying was prohibited in the city, so Li Zhirui boarded a Spiritual Horse Carriage. In less than an hour, he arrived at the cave mansion located at the edge of the city.

Buzz—

Upon entering the cave mansion, fog-like spiritual energy surged toward him eagerly, quickly obscuring his view.

The interior was luxuriously decorated with various exotic flowers and plants, artificial mountains, fountains, pavilions, and towers, though none of these attracted Li Zhirui. He didn’t spare them a glance and directly headed to the quiet room.

Creak!

This was the last sound emitted from the quiet room for a long period.

Li Zhirui seated himself on a mat, his presence gradually becoming calm, breathing evenly, his expression serene, his mind as still as water.

He did not absorb spiritual energy or attempt to break through his realm but adjusted his state to its best since it’s crucial not to rush at critical moments.
