Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1612: Chapter 1275: Estrangement

Creak—

Not long after, a female cultivator dressed in green entered, seeing Li Zhixuan already awake, she spoke directly:

”Senior Xu, it’s good to see you’re alright. Since you’ve already awakened, I won’t disturb you further and will take my leave.”

Despite being an Individual Immortal, she felt some resentment and dissatisfaction from being ordered by the Sect to care for an unknown female cultivator.

”Thank you.” Li Zhixuan said hoarsely, ”I will always remember the great kindness of the Qinghua Sect, and will repay it in the future!”

She knew that she could survive solely because of their careful care; otherwise, even if she didn’t die, she would be severely injured and crippled.

”This cave mansion has more than a year left on the lease, so feel free to stay, Senior.”

The female cultivator did not respond to those words, gave a reminder, left the Jade Token for entry and exit, and then turned and left.

Li Zhixuan was not angry with the attitude of the other person. She just lay quietly on the bed, slowly circulating her cultivation technique, absorbing spiritual energy, nourishing her meridians and Dantian.

In her current condition, she didn’t dare absorb too much spiritual energy, lest her fragile meridians feel pain.

Only after several days had passed did she recover some spirit, allowing her to mobilize a trace of divine sense, open her Storage Magical Treasure, and retrieve the supreme Healing Elixir refined by Li Zhirui, holding it in her mouth to slowly refine it.

In her years of training outside, Li Zhixuan was very cautious in using these supreme Immortal Pills, opting for a lesser grade if she could.

Because she knew supreme Immortal Pills were for saving lives!

Moreover, she had been away from Mount Wanxian for years, using one meant one less, with no way to replenish them.

There was no denying the superb effects of the supreme Immortal Pill refined by Li Zhirui; in just months, Li Zhixuan’s injuries had improved greatly.

When the cave mansion lease expired, her injuries hadn’t completely healed, but she appeared to be the same as any other person.

”This time, it was a life-threatening endeavor to counterattack the Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator, only succeeding thanks to Jiu, Mr. Meng, and the Qinghua Sect.” God willing,

Thinking this way, Li Zhixuan planned to thank Meng Zihong and the Qinghua Sect, then slowly return to Mount Wanxian, retreat to heal, aiming to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

After making some inquiries, she took several Spiritual Objects to visit, expressing her gratitude.

”Mr. Xu, there’s no need for this. Since you have a good relationship with Brother Meng, and helped greatly in his breakthrough to the Earth Immortal, naturally, our Qinghua Sect wishes to express gratitude; please take back these Spiritual Objects.”

The one who came to meet Li Zhixuan was a Human Immortal cultivator named Zhang Heng, who steadfastly refused to accept her offered gifts.

Since they were unwilling, she didn’t insist, only kept the kindness in her heart, and then asked, ”How is Mr. Meng doing now?”

”Brother Meng is no longer in any danger and should currently be in closed-door training at the mountain gate.”

”That’s good.” Li Zhixuan said no more words, and immediately bid farewell.

After leaving the Qinghua Sect’s premises, she headed straight to the city gate, not planning to linger further.

”Falling flowers have intentions, yet flowing water is heartless. This Mr. Xu truly has a single-minded devotion to the path, leaving no room for any romantic entanglements. No wonder the mentors only focused on Brother Meng, bringing him back after ensuring his survival, and isolating the two from meeting again.” Zhang Heng shook his head, closing the courtyard door.

Though Li Zhixuan was severely injured and could only exert half of her strength, ordinary cultivators could not discern this, naturally no one would want to provoke a Human Immortal cultivator unreasonably.

Thus, during her return to Mount Wanxian, the journey was smooth without encountering any setbacks, albeit taking a longer time, almost four to five years.

Moreover, upon returning, Li Zhixuan did not immediately enter closed-door training, but met with Clan Leader Li Guangjie and spoke about the world war Meng Zihong had told her.

”The family has long been aware; just that Ancestor Xuan was training outside, how did you come to know? Is this matter not a secret outside anymore?” Li Guangjie said with a look of surprise.

”Was it Cheng Sheng, Cheng Shuo who informed the family?”

Clan Leader shook his head, having dealt with Yumen He Family and Xiaxian Sect wanting Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds, using this secret as a condition.

Of course, they had their own intentions too, wanting the Li family to later demand higher prices from the forces seeking to purchase lotus seeds.

But Li Zhixuan did not want to concern herself with those matters, knowing the family was aware, she rose and left, returning to the cave mansion she hadn’t stayed in for many years.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui was in closed-door training elsewhere on Mount Wanxian,

He had previously planned to consume half of his merit to speed up his own cultivation, a method with indeed extraordinary effects, only that merits are rare, ordinary beings would hesitate to use such an expensive method.

But the outcomes were quite good; Li Zhirui had been in retreat and enlightenment for years, and his realm had reached Perfect Human Immortal, just one step away from crossing the threshold to the Earth Immortal Realm!

Of course, this wasn’t something that could be easily accomplished.

”According to what those two said, there’s still eight to nine hundred years before the war begins...”

It seemed the time was quite sufficient, but cultivation couldn’t be calculated this way, so Li Zhirui didn’t relax even a bit, maintaining a diligent and hard-working attitude towards cultivation.

Li Zhirui was now considering whether to consume the remaining half of merit, to see if he could make a breakthrough and achieve the Earth Immortal Realm!

After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to hold off, waiting to be fully prepared before lighting this last fire.

Having made up his mind, he emptied these tangled thoughts, and continued focusing on cultivation.
