Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1603: Chapter 1270: Breakthrough (Part 2)

After all, this is the territory of the Cave Abyss Sect, not very convenient to discuss his matters.

However, this idea of his did not succeed.

He was discovered and intercepted on the way, and ultimately went to the main hall.

”Mr. Li, how many of those special White Lotus Seeds do you still have?” A certain Earth Immortal, too lazy to beat around the bush, asked bluntly.

”Are you talking about Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds?”

Saying this, Li Zhirui produced a White Lotus Seed inscribed with strands of golden patterns from his hand.

Seeing the other party nod, he continued, ”I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you and everyone else. These lotus seeds were obtained by chance, and cultivation is rather difficult. Therefore, I only have fifteen left.”

He only lied in the last sentence.

The Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds were indeed an unexpected find, and their cultivation is difficult, but with Li Zhirui’s spatial ability, he didn’t actually need to put effort into cultivating them, so he actually had dozens of them.

However, scarcity increases value, and since he wanted to sell them at a high price, he certainly couldn’t reveal them all.

”As for ordinary White Lotus Seeds, I have several hundred, and there are quite a number in the family’s treasure vault, of good quality.”

No one doubted his words upon hearing this, because in the perception of most cultivators, the more special the Spiritual Object, the harder it is to cultivate.

This only intensified the competition among them!

As for the abundant White Lotus Seeds, only those less powerful forces were interested, for they knew they couldn’t compete with the major powers and decided to settle for the next best thing.

”How does Mr. Li plan to trade the Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds?” It was again the same Earth Immortal who took the lead in speaking.

”I need Red Magnolia Root, Long Water Catkins, Abyssal Rainbow Grass...”

As soon as Li Zhirui began to speak, he listed the names of dozens of Spiritual Objects, which he had just seen in the Jade Slip he had acquired.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the Immortal Realm forces of the East Continent were gathered here, he naturally wanted to see if he could seize the opportunity to obtain one or two kinds of Spiritual Objects.

When the time comes, whether it is for him to reevaluate the Pill Recipe or use elsewhere, it would be a good choice. After all, no matter what, the grade speaks for itself.

”Of the Spiritual Objects you mentioned, besides the three Earth Immortal grade Spiritual Objects, our Cave Abyss Sect can provide everything else. Mr. Li, why not trade all fifteen Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds to us?” The Earth Immortal of the Cave Abyss Sect said with a smile.

Li Zhirui certainly couldn’t agree, as he planned to use this trade to build some goodwill with various major forces.

If he were to sell them all to the Cave Abyss Sect, although it would be very convenient, wouldn’t his plan be in vain?

However, he didn’t need to refuse personally, as other forces naturally wouldn’t agree. If all the Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds went to the Cave Abyss Sect, who knows what price they would have to pay to acquire them.

”What does the Fellow Daoist need so many lotus seeds for? If there are too many, it won’t be easy to manage.”

”Exactly, and the Cave Abyss Sect is so close to the Li family, unlike us who are at least tens of thousands of miles away. Waiting for the next batch of Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds to mature before trading with the Li family would not be too late. How about exiting this time and waiting for the next one?”

”Yes, yes.”

Facing the onslaught of various forces, the Earth Immortal of the Cave Abyss Sect remained calm and didn’t take those words to heart. Who knows when ’next time’ might be, and falling behind in one step could mean falling behind in every step!

”Since it’s a trade, naturally the highest bidder gets it.”

Although saying this, the Cave Abyss Sect wouldn’t really do that, as doing so would offend all the major forces! They couldn’t make such a foolish decision.

Li Zhirui didn’t interrupt, though he was the protagonist, he merely sat aside, watching quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After a series of discussions, Li Zhirui sold the fifteen Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds in his hand, along with the several hundred White Lotus Seeds, for an excellent price, gaining a large amount of Spiritual Objects.

Of course, many of the cultivators from these forces didn’t have the Spiritual Objects on hand, requiring them to return to their sects or families to truly complete the transaction.

In other words, it was merely reserved for now.

With the matter settled, Li Zhirui was the first to depart, not wanting to delay his seclusion any longer.

Flying at high speed, it took only two or three hours to return to the family.

After returning to Mount Wanxian, the first thing he did was hand over the Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds and the list of pre-ordered forces to Xiaoqing, giving some instructions before entering the Cave Mansion to begin secluded cultivation, striving for the Late-stage Human Immortal.

”Whoa!”

Xiaoqing couldn’t help but exclaim when seeing the list of forces and Spiritual Objects in the Jade Slip.

Such a small lotus seed was incredibly valuable, prompting so many forces to vie for it, with some even pre-ordering the next batch of Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds.

”It’s a shame, the business of Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds cannot last long; it’s all a one-time deal.” Then Xiaoqing regretfully shook his head.

After all, what was sold were Spirit Seeds, and once they succeeded in cultivation, they wouldn’t pay a high price to purchase from the Li family again.

Fortunately, when Li Zhirui sold them, he made them swear that once the Evil Cleansing White Lotus was cultivated, it could only be for their own use, not to be sold outside.

But there are ways to bypass this oath, such as taking the Evil Cleansing White Lotus to help and thereby gain a large amount of resources.

Regarding this, both Li Zhirui and the Li family are helpless and can only feign ignorance.

”Jiu’s next seclusion will be to reach the Late-stage Human Immortal, right?”

Xiaoqing enviously murmured, ”Everyone says the cultivation of Divine is fast, but Jiu is not slow either!”

He had only recently broken through to the Realm of Human Immortality and was still far from catching up to Li Zhirui.

That’s right!

In these years while Li Zhirui was traveling, Xiaoqing successfully broke through and became a Human Immortal Divine.

Besides him, there were also Cang and Mu.

As of now, of the Spirit Beasts that Li Zhirui previously contracted, only Da Qing was still slowly improving his cultivation in the Individual Immortal Realm.

And he had only recently broken through to the Late-stage Individual Immortal.

...

Meanwhile, in the quiet chamber within the Cave Mansion, Li Zhirui sat calmly on a meditation cushion, soothing his restless mental state while also adjusting his state to bring it to perfect condition.

This whole series of preparatory work took several days.

Afterward, he began to operate his cultivation technique, absorbing the pure and rich Spiritual Energy within his clan’s land.

The Five Element Spiritual Energy underwent a round of selection outside his body, only the Water and Wood Spiritual Qi could enter Li Zhirui’s body, and then under the control of his Divine Sense, flowed through numerous meridians, continuously being hammered and refined into purer Mana, integrating into the Dantian Sea of Law.

The Dantian Sea of Law, which had already reached its limit, slowly rose and grew, his abdomen sending off a swelling pain.

However, this was not enough for Li Zhirui to break through; an unending stream of Mana was needed to inject continuously.

This seemingly simple act was repeated continuously for several years, during which he seized the opportunity to break through!

In one fell swoop, he directly shattered the invisible barrier.

Whir-whir-whir—

Suddenly, a gust of wind kicked up outside. A storm quickly formed around the Cave Mansion, sweeping over the surrounding Spiritual Energy, creating a massive Spirit Qi Vortex, providing Li Zhirui with a large amount of Spiritual Qi to break through.

The immense spectacle of this phenomenon naturally caught the attention of all the clan members, who put aside what they were doing and flew to the center of the storm.

Before long, a dense circle of family members surrounded the area.

”It’s been so long, hasn’t it stopped yet? Could it be...”

A nearby clan member interrupted him and said, ”Ancestor Rui will definitely breakthrough!”

Overall, there was great confidence in Li Zhirui’s breakthrough, and although many were worried about the long duration, they didn’t believe he would fail.

...

Greatly indeed!

Before the gathering crowd, a formidable pressure spread in all directions, shattering the Spirit Qi Vortex and dissipating into scattered Spirit Light throughout the heavens and the earth.
