Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 227 - 233: Transformation

```

Li Zhirui looked at his Life-bound Magic Treasure with eyes full of affection and read out the name he had already chosen, ”Thousand Pound Wood Spirit Cloud!”

After admiring it for a moment, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Magical Treasure into his Dantian, then nurtured it with his own Mana and breath. Because he had already refined it with his essence blood earlier, there was no need to spend more time on refinement now.

The next day, Li Zhirui approached Li Zhizhun and took from him the Pill Recipes for the Essence-Enhancing Pill and the Revitalizing Pill, planning to study them in the coming days and strive to refine Spirit Pills as soon as possible.

”Is this... Have you finished refining your Life-bound Magic Treasure?” Li Zhizhun asked in surprise after hearing his intention.

Li Zhirui smiled and nodded. With a single thought, he summoned the Thousand Spirits, which under his deliberate control, was only a few inches in size, looking exquisitely small, yet it emitted a glowing radiance that one couldnʼt overlook.

Though a rich radiance didnʼt necessarily indicate the power of the Magical Treasure, it was a symbol of its grade.

The point of Li Zhizhunʼs surprise lay here, for with his experience, he could easily see that the Spirit Materials used to craft this Magical Treasure included at least one tier-four material!

”Zhirui, when you venture out for trials in the future and use your Magic Treasure, you should conceal it a bit,” he advised out of concern. This was Li Zhiruiʼs opportunity, and naturally, he wouldnʼt ask further but just reminded him kindly.

”Donʼt worry, brother. Iʼve specifically set up a concealment that hides the Spirit Light; it wonʼt be detected,” Li Zhirui reassured. He revealed this only because he trusted Li Zhizhun; otherwise, he would not have exposed it.

”Big brother, how many batches of the Spiritual Medicine required for these two Pill Recipes has the family prepared?” he asked.

Li Zhizhun searched through the documents on his desk, then held up a Jade Slip and said, ”Weʼve only managed to purchase over thirty batches of the tier-three Spiritual Medicine Golden Earth Fruit and Nonghuacao. We have at least fifty batches of the remaining medicines.”

The two kinds of Spiritual Medicine he referred to were the most crucial main ingredients, not only costly but also rarer than other Spiritual Medicines.

Moreover, the reason the Li family had managed to collect so many portions was largely thanks to the Southern Edge Commerce Association. In their competition with local organizations like the Xuanfa Pavilion for market dominance, they had released a vast array of precious Spiritual Objects for sale.

It should be noted that many of these Spiritual Objects were previously only seen at auctions on rare occasions!

While Shen Leishan denied Southern Edge Commerce Association entry to its territory, the Li family was not far from Green Mountain State, making it possible to buy some Spiritual Objects incognito.

”Try to collect as many as possible. The difficulty of refining a tier-three Spirit Pill really canʼt be compared to those of lower-tier ones,” Li Zhirui couldnʼt help but say.

Although he possessed a special space, cultivating a tier-three Spiritual Medicine would at least cost thousands of Spirit Stones, and the total combined cost could amount to several hundred thousand!

As for Li Zhirui, his Spirit Stones had long been spent on the refinement of Thousand Spirits, and the reason he could still obtain Spirit Materials from the family was entirely through exchanging Contribution Value.

Of course, even if he had that many Spirit Stones, he wouldnʼt use the space to cultivate Spiritual Medicines.

As Li Zhirui himself once said, the difficulty of making a tier-three Spirit Pill was too high; it was impossible for him to refine Spirit Pills with just a few dozen batches of Spiritual Medicine, as he had done before.

Doing so, with too great a reputation, would bring forth numerous troubles that the Li family couldnʼt possibly withstand.

”Sure, you can rest easy. The family has never stopped trying to acquire these Spiritual Medicines,” Li Zhizhun answered with a nod.

Not to mention the considerable profits that the two tier-three Spirit Pills might bring to the family, but the mere fact that they could speed up the cultivation pace of Golden Core Cultivators was enough motivation for the Li family to make every possible effort.

”Howʼs the construction of that precious Herbal Garden for Spiritual Medicines going?” After receiving the Pill Recipes, Li Zhirui did not leave immediately but inquired about a matter closely related to him.

”Thanks to Elder Lianʼs efforts, all the precious Spiritual Medicines are growing tremendously well. The Foundation Establishment Medicines, for instance, will mature in less than thirty years,” recounted Li Zhizhun.

The Foundation Establishment Medicines were among the first valuable Spiritual Medicines cultivated by the Li family. After many years, they were now close to maturation.

And once the first batch of Foundation Establishment Medicines was ready, the family should just barely manage to be self-sufficient with Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills and would no longer need to purchase them from outside sources.

As for other precious Spiritual Medicines, second-order ones are not too bad; they can grow within fifty or sixty years, but the third-order Spiritual Medicines require at least a hundred years!

From this, one can see that the Li family rose too quickly, lacking any real foundation. Read new adventures at

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zhirui stood up to take his leave.

”Jiu.”

Unexpectedly, on the way back, he encountered someone he had not anticipated.

”Zhiyue?” Li Zhirui said with some uncertainty.

Because the woman cultivator standing in front of him had changed enormously compared to the Li Zhiyue he remembered!

In fact, if one looked closely, they would find that her appearance had not changed much, but her aura, her attire, had undergone a revolutionary transformation.

If the previous Li Zhiyue was a delicate Trose Flower, she was now a bamboo that could withstand the winds from all directions.

Li Zhirui did not know what she had experienced over the years, but in his view, these changes were beneficial for her future cultivation.

The reason for her significant transformation was that the events she encountered during her experiences had caused her to grow rapidly.

”Youʼve just returned from an outside experience, havenʼt you?” he said to the dusty and tired-looking Li Zhiyue, ”Go back and rest well; donʼt rush your cultivation.”

”Jiu, I want to ask you, what do you think my future accomplishments will be?”

Li Zhirui was stunned upon hearing this, but then he smiled, saying cheerfully, ”Who knows?”

In his opinion, Li Zhiyueʼs progress was already great since she chose to let go of her obsession with comparing herself to Li Zhixuan.

”Thank you for your guidance, Jiu!” Li Zhiyueʼs presence underwent a sudden change, and from those four words, she gained insight, advancing further in her state of mind.

Perhaps it wouldnʼt be long before she could break through the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even Li Zhirui, who had seen great turmoil, was taken aback by this scene, thinking to himself, ʼNow that is a true genius!ʼ

Compared to Li Zhiyue, his own Golden Core, advanced with the help of Spirit Pills, was far from being called a genius.

After watching Li Zhiyue walk away, Li Zhirui continued towards his cave dwelling, but unexpectedly, another woman cultivator was waiting for him at the entrance.

”Jiu!”

Li Zhixuan spoke frankly, ”Years ago, you lent me a significant amount of Contribution Value, but due to always missing each other, Iʼve never fully repaid it.”

With that, she took out a Jade Token and a Jade Box from her storage bag, saying, ”This Jade Token is the remaining Contribution Value, and the Jade Box contains a second-order Spiritual Medicine I happened across while training outside.”

”Although itʼs not precious, it represents my sentiments, so please donʼt disdain it, Jiu.”

Li Zhirui initially did not think much of it; after all, a second-order Spiritual Medicine was not particularly valuable to either of them.

He casually accepted both items, but when he opened the Jade Box and recognized the Spiritual Medicine inside, he immediately shook his head and said, ”This is too precious; keep it for yourself!”
