Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1601: Chapter 1269: Fame (Part 2)

On the other side, at the Li family outpost.

Since only Li Xianxun and Li Yunran led a few family members to support earlier, the outpost is relatively remote and small in size.

But even so, it’s still due to the Li family giving out many high-grade lotus seeds for free, otherwise their situation would have been worse!

“Ancestor Rui, are you really that confident?” Li Xianxun held back his question for a long time, but finally couldn’t resist asking when they returned to the outpost.

He was worried that if things went wrong, the Cave Abyss Sect would be disappointed with the Li family.

Don’t be fooled by the Li family’s growth over the years; compared to a top-tier Heavenly Immortal force, it’s still night and day!

Li Zhirui nodded easily and said, “I am. There are specializations in the arts, and that polluted Spirit Vein might be a problem for many cultivators, but not for me.”

“So relax, don’t be so tense and worried.”

“Everyone should go back and rest well, we’ll need your help tomorrow.”

“Alright!”

“Ancestor Rui, don’t worry, we will definitely do our best to help you.”

Li Zhirui couldn’t help but laugh at this, thinking there was nothing so serious; they just needed to help crush some Purifying Spiritual Objects when the time came.

“Got it, everyone go rest and recover quickly.”

Nothing more was said that night.

Early the next morning, Li Zhirui took his family members to the Demon Vein, waiting for the arrival of the Cave Abyss Sect cultivators.

However, before they arrived, other cultivators who had come to watch the excitement had already surrounded the place, layer upon layer.

About two hours later, the Cave Abyss Sect arrived aboard a Spirit Boat, and a group of cultivators disembarked, blocking all others from entering so that no one would disturb Li Zhirui as he purified the Demon Vein.

Those cultivators being pushed back were somewhat dissatisfied, but no one voiced public opposition—they had to give some face to the Cave Abyss Sect.

As a result, only the Li family and the Cave Abyss Sect cultivators remained near the Demon Vein.

The reason why the Cave Abyss Sect was making such a big deal of this was that they couldn’t break the vein by force, like destroying it outright, because if that happened, the Demon Vein would explode!

If that occurred, the Demonic Qi would disperse everywhere, and the surrounding thousand-mile radius could be polluted, making cleanup even more troublesome! Moreover, it would take a very long time to recover.

So it’s better to keep suppressing the Demon Vein, at least the affected area would be smaller.

Speaking of which…

“Are these Purifying Spiritual Objects enough?” The lead Elder from the Cave Abyss Sect handed a Storage Magical Treasure to Li Zhirui.

His Divine Sense swept over it, and he was shocked by their generosity—it was more than enough, and even exceeded his expectations.

“Shall we begin then?” Seeing Li Zhirui nod, the Elder asked somewhat impatiently.

“Alright.”

Li Zhirui, while performing spells, said to the others, “Get ready to use the Purifying Spiritual Objects; as soon as I prompt you to crush them, do it without hesitation. I need sufficient and rich Purification Principles to aid me in purifying the Demon Vein and expelling the Demonic Qi.”

As for the fact that the Cave Abyss Sect brought more Spiritual Objects than he had expected, he certainly wouldn’t mention it, since it wasn’t the Li family’s resources being used—Li Zhirui couldn’t care less.

Moreover, the more Spiritual Objects there are, the richer the Purification Principles gathered, and the higher his chance of successfully purifying the Demon Vein.

This was a great thing for him.

…

Li Zhirui formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding Purification Principles responded, surging together to form a pure white, dazzling ball of light before him, into which he threw a few White Lotus Seeds.

He wasn’t stingy, using the highest-grade White Lotus Seeds, and slowly sent the light ball onto the Demon Vein.

Through this method, the White Lotus Seeds could contact and adapt to the Demon Vein gradually, so they wouldn’t suddenly wither from a shock.

Under Li Zhirui’s careful control, the White Lotus Seeds sprouted and began absorbing Demonic Qi as nutrients to speed up their growth.

“Hmm?”

Such an atypical scene naturally caught everyone’s eyes, and many quick-thinking cultivators gazed intently at the few budding white lotuses.

The white lotuses they had previously seen were used to purge evil filth; it took very many lotuses to purify a polluted area.

But if they could get these high-grade Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds, the cost of dealing with such situations in the future would be much lower.

Thus, many cultivators made up their minds; after this matter concluded, they must make a deal with the Li family for Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds!

Although everything seemed to be going smoothly, Li Zhirui did not relax, nor accelerated the growth of the White Lotus Seeds, just sped up a little.

However, as the white lotuses grew stronger, absorbing more Demonic Qi, their growth rate accelerated, and in the end, he harvested a large bunch of lotus seeds, around a hundred or so.

Continuing the same process, over a hundred white lotuses bloomed, and the originally thick, foggy Demonic Qi seemed to thin slightly.

Seeing such significant results so quickly, the Cave Abyss Sect cultivators were very pleased, believing they had found the right person for the job.

A large number of white lotuses began absorbing Demonic Qi, rapidly propagating more lotus seeds.

But this time, Li Zhirui couldn’t rely on his own strength to grow so many Evil Cleansing White Lotuses.

And at this point, the Purifying Spiritual Objects that the Cave Abyss Sect had prepared came into play!

“Get ready!”

As Li Zhirui spoke, he swallowed a Rejuvenation Immortal Pill and shouted, “Go!”

Crunch—

The sound of various Spiritual Objects shattering rang out continually, and an intensely pure Purification Principle appeared. But just as it was about to spread out, Li Zhirui gathered it, forming a pool of pure white water that engulfed all the lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds immediately broke through their shells and sprouted, growing at a visibly fast pace, and within only a quarter-hour, they grew into giant white lotuses with roots penetrating the Purifying Waters and embedding into the Demon Vein.

The Demonic Qi quickly dissipated, and the originally dark Demon Vein began to regain its crystal clear appearance.

But this was far from enough!

So Li Zhirui changed his spell, half of the white lotuses shattered to become Purification Principles, merging into the lake, while the other half continued to drop large numbers of lotus seeds, continuing to absorb Demonic Qi.

This process required extremely high proficiency in Divine Sense manipulation and immense pressure support, otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to complete it.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui met these two conditions!

Through continuous spell casting, the surface of the Demon Vein was fully restored to its crystal-clear look.

But inside, Demonic Qi was still rooted.

This time, he changed the spell once again; all the white lotuses and lotus seeds transformed into pure Purification Principles, merging into the lake.

The lake waters plunged downward, flooding into the interior of the Demon Vein.

In places unseen by outsiders, the lotus seeds reformed, continuing to absorb Demonic Qi to grow.

Several hours later, the entire Demon Vein was thoroughly purified, with the Demonic Qi completely expelled!

“I didn’t let you down!”

Li Zhirui spoke with a trembling voice.

The consecutive hours of casting Divine Power and employing Divine Sense consumed an unquantifiable amount of energy.

If not for the support of his Life-bound Magic Treasure and the Minor Thousand World, he wouldn’t have been able to persevere!

However, outsiders had no knowledge of these two secret weapons, only believing that Li Zhirui possessed immense mana, unlike what a Human Immortal cultivator should have.

To many cultivators, this fact was even more significant than his success in purifying the Demon Vein!

Even though the laws Li Zhirui mastered provided no combat enhancment, his abundant mana ensured he would not fall behind in battle.

Thus, Li Zhirui’s reputation spread far and wide!

Needless to say, the cultivators supporting the Cave Abyss Sect came from all parts of the East Continent, and even several elite Heavenly Immortal forces sent disciples to assist.

With their presence, even if surrounding forces hadn’t come, they would soon know.

Despite the attention, Li Zhirui wasn’t worried about being targeted by the Demonic Tao; he only thought about returning to the family territory to cultivate in seclusion and advance to the Late-stage Human Immortal.
