Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2229 - 1583: Investigation

...

Li Zhirui, who was far away on Ascension Mountain, naturally did not know how much stir was caused outside because of his lecture.

In the following time, although he did not hold such grand lectures, he would occasionally guide the disciples in their cultivation.

At the same time, he personally taught the sect-trained Alchemists for a period of time.

With Li Zhirui’s current Alchemy Dao Realm, teaching others was as easy as mastering palm lines; he could uncover the problems in their alchemy process in just a few words, significantly improving their alchemy skills.

This allowed them to quickly catch up with the Artifact Refiners and Array Masters of the sect in terms of skill level.

It should be noted that in the Tongtian Sect’s inheritance of the Cultivation Hundred Arts, Artifact Refining and Formations were the deepest and most detailed, with a wealth of experience and insights from predecessors.

While other skills either were of lower grade in inheritance or only had methods, with very little cultivation experience and insights.

Of course, this is actually the case for most powers.

After all, resources are limited, talents are limited; being able to concentrate power on developing one or two skills to a high realm is already quite remarkable, how could everything be covered?

Originally, Tongtian Sect was more powerful in Artifact Refining and Formations, and talisman-making gained prominence due to Guo Wenxian’s joining.

Now, with Li Zhirui’s guidance, the alchemists trained by Tongtian Sect have also greatly improved, with their pill formation rate increasing by at least ten percent.

The greatest progress was that now there were disciples who could refine Mid-grade Pills without his intervention to purify them.

”Alchemy not only requires talent but also values accumulated practice; if you diligently practice, the pill formation rate will gradually increase.”

Of course, what Li Zhirui spoke of only had this effect on one type of pill, but if a different type was switched, there would still be an effect, but it certainly wouldn’t be as great.

And what he had just said was actually meant specifically for them.

While teaching everyone, he did not find any disciple among them with particularly high talent in alchemy; all were only average.

To achieve great accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao? That’s nearly impossible; what suits them the most is constantly refining one category of pills over and over.

When their pill formation rate reaches a certain height, they can earn enough cultivation resources to reciprocate their own cultivation and elevate their realm.

If they could successfully build such a cycle, they wouldn’t have to worry much about their needed cultivation resources before reaching high grades.

About these, Li Zhirui did not hide from these disciples, instead told them very directly.

To prevent them from truly thinking their alchemy talent was high, wasting a heap of Spiritual Objects, and at the same time hitting themselves hard.

”From now on, you’d have to rely on yourselves.”

Having said that, he then left the Alchemy Room.

”Disciple thanks the Sect Leader for the guidance and will strive to repay the sect’s kindness!”

Li Zhirui, who had already gone far, naturally did not hear this sentence.

This time, for the first time in centuries, he left Ascension Mountain.

His departure from the mountain gate was to check the current territory of Tongtian Sect, for after all these years, he was still quite unfamiliar with many places, only having seen them on a map.

With Li Zhirui’s speed, if he were to simply take a rough look around, it wouldn’t take but a few hours.

However, he was holding the purpose of developing the territory owned by Tongtian Sect, so he naturally couldn’t just scratch the surface.

His first stop was north of Ascension Mountain.

This place was full of towering and rugged mountains; the tallest one even exceeded five thousand zhang!

From a distance, it looked like a straight giant pillar piercing into the sky.

The towering and majestic, cold and barren mountain range, while blocking the large-scale invasion from alien races in the north, also made this place desolate.

This was not a good place; it didn’t seem suitable for Tongtian Sect to develop anything.

Yet, in Li Zhirui’s mind arose an idea: isn’t this environment precisely suitable for raising Devil Beasts and creating a Spirit Mountain?

However, if the development followed his idea, the initial investment would be incredibly huge!

For this mountainous area was truly a Land of Little Spirit; among the vast range, there couldn’t be found ten Spirit Veins, and each one’s grade was not high.

Thinking of these, Li Zhirui shook his head in private, having to suppress certain thoughts, waiting for the opportunity is said to come someday.

After that, he flew towards the west, and soon arrived at the Thousand Mountain Spirit Land.

After several hundred years of construction and cultivation, the Spirit Land had developed quite well, able to accommodate cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Thus, many low-level loose cultivators came to this place, and the two little Immortal Cities outside the Spirit Land, used to stand against the Devil Race, became a lot more bustling because of their arrival.

The development here was already quite good; the next step was to continue investing, along with the accumulation over time, without needing Li Zhirui to get involved in modification.

Then he turned to the east, arriving at the south of the mountain gate.

There was a marketplace constructed by Tongtian Sect here; because of cheap Cave Mansion rentals, it attracted many low-level cultivators to settle.

This differentiated itself from the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City east of the mountain gate, not directly competing with it.

After all, the foundation of both parties already had a huge gap; if they were really to compete, the marketplace would certainly not stand as a competitor to the Immortal City.

Better to attract low-level cultivators as it is now, and earn quite a few Spirit Stones.

Li Zhirui did not go to Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City, because it could be said to be the best-developed place within Tongtian Sect’s territory and wouldn’t achieve better development for the time being.

After understanding the four most important places on the territory, he began to explore inside, seeking some suitable places for development.

...

Flowers bloom in two branches with each expressing its own.

”Die!”

A red Sword Light cut through Chaos, and in the next moment, a huge body as large as a mountain collapsed, stirring up a gust of wind.

”Haa—haa...”

Not far away, a female cultivator dressed in black gasped heavily, her face pale and her aura weakened, clearly caused by excessive exertion.

But if one were to look closely at her expression, they’d find that despite the circumstances, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Li Zhixuan was indeed very happy now, as for the reason? It was because of the corpse in front of her!

This was not a simple corpse; when alive, it was a Chaotic Fierce Beast at Heavenly Immortal Perfection, with one foot stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm!

And she, managed to slay it all by herself!

This made Li Zhixuan, who had been stagnant at Heavenly Immortal Perfection for years, extremely excited.

Since in the life-and-death tempering just now, and the battle winning against stronger opponents, she broke through the bottleneck that had blocked her for thousands of years!

”Profound Immortal...”

She murmured, with her eyes gleaming ever brightly.

”It’s not far away!”

This sentence was said by Li Zhixuan with immense conviction and filled with confidence.

She now had a sixty percent chance of achieving Profound Immortal Realm!

Don’t think sixty percent is low; if it were other cultivators at Heavenly Immortal Perfection, they might not even have a thirty to forty percent chance.

Ching—

Feeling Li Zhixuan’s intense emotions, the Red Profound Sword in her hand lightly trembled, as if responding to her.

”Wansha, let’s jointly rush towards a higher realm!”

Clang!

The Red Profound Sword flashed with Spirit Light, and a Sword Light slashed out, directly splitting the Chaos Qi into two halves, seemingly promising to cut a path for her no matter what lies ahead!

”Hahaha...”

The time that had passed might have been uncountable; once again, Li Zhixuan let out a hearty and unrestrained laughter.

But before that, she needed to dismember the corpse of the Chaotic Fierce Beast thoroughly, taking away the precious and useful Spiritual Objects.

Then find a safe place to meditate and cultivate, because she truly risked her life fighting with that Fierce Beast.

When her internal injuries were fully healed, having adjusted to a perfect state, then would be the time to consider advancing to Profound Immortal Realm.

Sword Light was extremely sharp, soon slicing away the precious and useful Spiritual Objects from the gargantuan Fierce Beast corpse, such as hide, tail, teeth, etc.
