Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1909: Chapter 1423: Moved (Part 2)

Clusters of red lotus heavenly fire descended from the sky, beams of rolling heavenly thunder struck directly, threads of ghostly fire burned within her body, the three tribulations came fiercely and simultaneously erupted!

However, there was not a trace of fear in Li Zhixuan’s eyes as she faced the three tribulations, her expression calm as if she didn’t even consider them worth noticing. She raised her hand and slashed out a sword; the broken short sword, in that moment, executed a sword strike that shook the heavens.

The sword light was restrained, seemingly without any power, yet when it encountered the heavenly fire and thunder, it easily eradicated them!

At the same time, the sword heart within her merely trembled slightly, extinguishing all the ghostly fire on her body.

The speed was so fast, it seemed as though the three tribulations were merely an illusion, yet the remnants of the tribulation’s aura in the surroundings reminded everyone that it wasn’t an illusion, nor a hallucination, but a real event!

”This... this... how could this be possible!”

Nearby, a fleet was flying in the sky, people coming and going on the ships, but at this moment, they all fell into silence, unable to believe what they saw before their eyes.

”This is truly the model of us sword cultivators, a testament to our prowess!” A sword cultivator’s eyes shone brightly, his face flushed with excitement, his whole body trembling.

”This must be the skill only a Heavenly Immortal can possess, right?”

”No, this person is still an Earth Immortal.” An Earth Immortal stood up, his voice carrying a fear and dread he himself hadn’t noticed.

But as soon as these words were spoken, the scene turned silent once again.

Even if it were a Heavenly Immortal resolving two tribulations with a single strike, it would be astonishing; moreover, this was just what they could see, no one knew when this mysterious, powerful cultivator transcended the ghostly fire tribulation within.

And now they were being told, this was merely an Earth Immortal?

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no matter what others said, they wouldn’t believe it, would they?

”But this individual should soon break through to the Heavenly Immortal rank, perhaps it won’t take long before they face the thunder tribulation.” The Earth Immortal added another sentence.

This statement somewhat comforted everyone, but only just slightly, for even among Heavenly Immortals, not many could employ such techniques.

As for breaking all spells with one sword strike, how many actually have such skill, and how many have truly witnessed it?

”I wonder which great power nurtured this genius; not yet a Heavenly Immortal but already possessing their strength, techniques like this truly provoke envy.”

”If only we could take her as a master...”

The crowd discussed fervently, yet none dared utter a single presumptuous word, fearing she might hear and bring disaster upon themselves.

...

Having resolved her tribulations, Li Zhixuan did not linger on the spot, nor did she pay any attention to the cultivators who had witnessed her transcendence, directly transforming into sword light and vanishing.

She needed to recover properly now, to face the upcoming thunder tribulation in her prime!

Mysteriously, she had a premonition that this imminent thunder tribulation would not be simple, she must be well-prepared, or she might risk falling.

Li Zhixuan indeed possessed strong power at the moment, but in the face of the Heavenly Dao, she was still but an ant, easily crushed! How could she dare underestimate the thunder tribulation?

Anyone who dared be so reckless was either immensely powerful or foolishly daring.

At the very least, she had a clear recognition of her own strength and wouldn’t engage in such foolishly suicidal behavior.

Silence prevailed all the way.

Before long, Li Zhixuan returned to Mount Wanxian.

Though returning quietly, she knocked on Li Zhirui’s door immediately.

Knock knock knock—

A clear and crisp, yet subtly profound, serene, and harmonious bell sound echoed, reaching Li Zhirui who was in the midst of refining an Immortal Pill.

He wasn’t distracted by the sudden bell sound, which didn’t cause him to fail in his alchemy; his hands remained steady, his spell utterances flawless, continuing his alchemy methodically.

The Knocking Bell rang only once, indicating the visitor’s situation wasn’t urgent, so naturally, Li Zhirui wouldn’t want this precious batch of Spiritual Medicine to go to waste.

Li Zhixuan stood calmly outside the door, continuing to wait, knocking the Knocking Bell once every quarter of an hour.

About an hour later, Li Zhirui successfully refined this batch of Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills.

Judging by this Pill’s name, one might think it was for treating the Spiritual Soul, but actually, it was an excellent Healing Elixir, and a top-grade one at that, effective and comprehensive!

Whether the wounds were of the Spiritual Soul or the flesh, it could heal them well, but its most unique effect lay in keeping a critically dying person’s last breath intact.

This is why it was named the Soul Revival Pill.

However, to achieve such comprehensive efficacy in a Pill, not only were the Spiritual Objects difficult to gather, but the refining difficulty was also extremely high, impossible for ordinary alchemists to achieve.

Yet Li Zhirui not only succeeded but also refined five Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills in one go; if word spread, it would certainly cause a sensation.

Since his breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal rank and the spreading of his title as a Heavenly Immortal Rank Alchemy Master, people occasionally came to request the refinement of some Heavenly Immortal Rank Elixirs.

Whether representing themselves or their backing powers, Li Zhirui couldn’t possibly refuse them all.

However, he didn’t agree to everything, only promising to refine some of the Heavenly Immortal Rank Elixirs he could manage, hence not wasting too much of his cultivation time.

As for learning new Pill Recipes, he wasn’t as concerned now.

Previously, it was to earn Spirit Stones and quicken his cultivation speed, but after the breakthrough to a Heavenly Immortal, the two major effects of Pills had weakened considerably for Li Zhirui, and he naturally no longer focused on them.

After all, from the start, he treated alchemy as a tool to aid his own cultivation, unlike some alchemists who regarded alchemy as the most important part of their lives, even more so than cultivation.

Back to the matter at hand!

”Come in, what is it?” Li Zhirui stored the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pills into a Jade Bottle before opening the door to let in the long-waiting clan member outside.

”Jiu.” Li Zhixuan quickly stepped inside.

”Zhixuan?” Hearing the voice, he suddenly looked up, and immediately noticed the scar on her face, as it was really hideous and conspicuous.

With his second glance, he saw the broken sword by her waist.

”What happened to you?”

The scar wasn’t enough to shock him greatly, it looked serious, but solutions were available; however, the broken sword distressed Li Zhirui so much that he stood up abruptly, hastily taking a few steps forward.

For he knew, it was Li Zhixuan’s Lifebound Spirit Sword, closely connected with her life!

Now, although she might have narrowly escaped with her life, perhaps advancing further wasn’t possible anymore.

”No need to worry, Jiu, it’s not a big deal.” Unexpectedly, Li Zhixuan simply laughed lightly, without any gloomy, world-weary emotions, instead expressing relief.

”Not a big deal?”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but frown, then carefully scrutinized her, surprisingly finding that her aura, cultivation, hadn’t diminished or regressed due to her Lifebound Spirit Sword’s breaking.

”What happened? During these years of experience in The Void, what occurred to cause such a huge change?”

”Jiu, I don’t have much time, I can’t explain everything in detail. This Jade Slip records my experiences over these years. You’ll understand once you read it.”

Li Zhixuan shook her head, speaking anxiously, ”I came here to ask for some Pills from you, to help me recover quickly, to face the imminent thunder tribulation in perfect condition!”

”Furthermore, I also need a large amount of spirit-recovering, healing Elixirs,” all of which were meant to increase her chances of successfully transcending the tribulation and surviving.

Seeing her so anxious, deliberately, Li Zhirui immediately understood, realizing her thunder tribulation was soon approaching, so he didn’t delay, promptly taking out all kinds of Elixirs from the Storage Magical Treasure for her.

”Is this enough? If it’s not, I’ll work on refining a few more batches of Elixirs for you in the near future.”

”It’s more than enough, thank you, Jiu!” Li Zhixuan was very touched by his actions.
