Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 667: Chapter 380: Arrangement

Li Shiming rarely did not cultivate, and even stopped the “Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique” which he had been cultivating nonstop since he obtained it.

He slept like an ordinary person, on the warm, large bed.

On a small couch outside the bedroom, Si Qin, whose face had regained its youthfulness, had a faint smile on her face, even in sleep.

Li Shiming seemed to have returned to the days of his youth, when, as a diligent scholar, he was always accompanied by a little maid.

That morning, he had awakened naturally, a nearly unimaginable occurrence for a Golden Core cultivator of his level.

He did not care much about it, his Body Refinement had reached the pinnacle of Golden Core, at the Great Elder level. The “Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique” and the “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique” he practiced had also reached the peak of the Golden Core Early Stage, and further cultivation would no longer lead to improvements.

He shut down his senses, which made him oblivious to when Si Qin had gotten up.

He sat up from the bed, and Si Qin came in carrying grooming supplies, gently aiding him as he got up.

When Si Qin took out a scholar robe, Li Shiming did not refuse, nor did he mention that he had previously worn a third-grade robe, which was more precious than the combined value of the entire Xia Country.

He walked out the door, saw the sunlight falling on him, and smiled contentedly.

He then walked towards the main house and saw his father, Li WenYuan, sitting and drinking tea, looking quite recovered.

“Father, I pay my respects!” Li Shiming said, bowing deeply.

“You are grown now, there’s no need for such formalities every morning and evening!” Li WenYuan helped Li Shiming up, mildly chiding him with affection.

The fact that his son had come to see him was satisfying enough.

Considering his position, he naturally knew that many families of cultivators never saw their family members return once they had left.

“Father, please allow me some opportunity to make up for the years I wasn’t able to show my filial piety!” Li Shiming straightened up and spoke.

“Shiming, how is your cultivation coming along? I heard that your sect disbanded?” Li WenYuan asked with concern.

Li Shiming frowned, such matters were not supposed to be known by his father.

Matters of the Cultivation World were beyond the knowledge of the secular world.

If his father knew, then the news must have spread from Xia Country, perhaps the Mingxin Sect had reached out here, even oppressing the secular families of the Seven Sects cultivators.

He thought of his father’s injuries, but he did not ask.

Investigating such matters himself was easy, asking his father about it might cause unnecessary worry.

His father’s health was poor, and in this last year, he did not want his father to be troubled by such matters.

“I have already switched to a very powerful new sect, which values me greatly!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.

“That’s good to hear. I heard that immortals live for a very long time. You should also look after Shijie in the future; Shijie has always been sensible and was unable to pursue an official career because of my issues!” Li WenYuan nodded lightly and spoke.

“Father, don’t worry, I will leave behind some measures to ensure the continuation of our Li Family’s legacy!” Li Shiming knew what his father was concerned about and assured him.

He was well aware that he was not likely to have descendants anytime soon and that any child he might have with Yin Shilan in the future would definitely possess a spirit root and not remain in the secular world.

The continuation of the Li Family lineage entirely depended on Li Shijie.

The bloodline of Li Shijie was also the Li Family’s bloodline, and although separated by several generations from that of Li Shiming himself, both he and Li Shijie shared the same great-grandfather.

Since Li Shijie had been adopted by his father, he was his brother and the heir to this branch of the Li Family.

“Father, here is some gold and silver, to be used for household expenses!” Li Shiming, remembering the lack of funds at home, took out twenty bricks each of gold and silver from his Space Ring.

Each brick was the size of a real brick, and combined, they constituted a significant fortune in the secular world.

He had these gold and silver bricks because he had purchased them from the Beishu Trading Company as materials for experimental research.

Fortunately, otherwise, he truly wouldn’t have been able to produce any secular wealth.

“Shijie, come and put these away!” Li WenYuan, unaffected by the wealth, instructed casually, as he had been quite prosperous before his fall from grace in recent years.

He did not refuse, for Li Shiming was his son, and it was only right for a son to present wealth to his father.

Li Shijie came in, and his face showed surprise at the sight of the gold and silver.

“Look at you, acting so devoid of ambition. This is from your elder brother, and now that you manage the household, it’s up to you to put it away,” Li WenYuan waved his hand and said.

“Thank you, elder brother!” Li Shijie first bowed to express his thanks to Li Shiming, then struggled to lift the gold and silver from the floor.

“Let me help you, where should we put these?” Li Shiming waved his hand, and the forty bricks of gold and silver were lifted by his Divine Thought, as he asked with a smile.

“Elder brother, put them in that storeroom over there!” Li Shijie was initially startled, but then remembered his brother was an immortal, and indicated a room nearby.

Li Shiming and Li Shijie entered the room together; the storeroom was empty, suggesting that the valuable items had been sold off.

Li Shiming set down the gold and silver bricks, then caught hold of Li Shijie, who was about to leave.

“Shijie, take this jade token!” he said, passing over a jade token.

Li Shijie took the jade token, started to speak, but was so shocked that he almost cried out in surprise.
