Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 574 - 580: Proposal

How to purchase high-tier spiritual objects with Spirit Stones?

It cannot be said that there is only one way, but large-scale auctions are indeed one of the few methods!

Even though the final price may greatly exceed the value of the spiritual objects themselves, if you can get high-tier spiritual objects with Spirit Stones, then what other luxuries could you ask for?

And in the coming period, the exchange ratio between different grades of Spirit Stones is likely to rise again, given the massive quantity of low-grade Spirit Stones, which occupy a lot of space.

”I understand!” Li Xuefeng nodded and said, ”I will definitely earn more Spirit Stones to bring back.”

From that day on, Li Zhirui devoted a large amount of time to alchemy; he made mostly not the fourth-grade Precious Pills, but the third-grade Spirit Pills.

Even though Precious Pills have a high price, the demand is low, and selling them to the Xuanfa Pavilion or the Southern Edge Commerce Association would not fetch the market price. Plus, considering the high difficulty of production, the profits were not as quick as those from making third-grade Spirit Pills.

At least, third-grade Spirit Pills were in no shortage of market demand, allowing for direct sales at market price without going through intermediary commerce associations.

And every clan member also used their own strength to make contributions to the family, and despite the hardships, no one complained or felt dissatisfied.

After all, their efforts were rewarded with Contribution Values used within the Li family, equivalent in value to Spirit Stones!

Many clan members gained a substantial amount of Contribution Values from this opportunity, either for themselves or their descendants, thereby accumulating some foundational assets.

----

With the Xuanfa Pavilion about to host such a grand auction, it would naturally not only inform the Li family. They truly spared no effort in their promotional activities.

Not to say that it reached a level of common knowledge in the Eastern Domain, but at least among two or three cultivators, there would be someone who knew about the auction, and those who didnʼt were likely just back from the wilderness or had recently finished a cultivation retreat.

Moreover, as time progressed, the number of cultivators aware of the auction increased, extending even to cultivators of the Northern Domain, Central Domain, and Southern Domain, who had heard at least a little about it.

Many forces were quite interested in this event, as the Xuanfa Pavilion had advertised various precious Spirit Seeds and Methods. If they could obtain them, their own strength could increase significantly.

Therefore, this auction attracted a good number of powers from other regions to the Xuanfa State in the Eastern Domain.

”The goal of the Xuanfa Pavilion has been achieved!” And it was accomplished exceedingly well.

Li Zhirui couldnʼt help but sigh when he heard that the Li family had gathered information about the auction.

Because the more forces that participated, the more competitors there would be, which meant the higher the price they would have to pay to obtain a particular spiritual object!

”Xuefeng, send someone to inquire at the Xuanfa Pavilion if we can get a more complete list of auction items.”

Given the current trend, with the strength of the Li family, they could probably only concentrate on bidding for a few spiritual objects.

As for what specifically, that would depend on what was on the list, so they could decide accurately.

”If necessary, we may bribe the other party,” Li Zhirui added at the end.

After spending a small price, the Li family obtained a list of auction items. Except for ten treasures stored away as valuable assets, all the other auction items were contained within this Jade Slip.

Li Zhirui directly skipped the first and second-grade spiritual objects, using his powerful Divine Sense to separate the remaining contents, copying them onto several Jade Slips, allowing Li Xuefeng and others to see them as well.

”Take a look and see if there are any good Spiritual Objects or Methods,” Li Zhirui said. ”Make a note of them first, and weʼll discuss them later.” With that, he immersed himself in the materials.

More than an hour later, Li Zhirui rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Memorizing thousands of Spiritual Objects in such a short time and comparing their values and effects was a demanding task. There were unfamiliar Spiritual Objects that needed to be noted and researched further.

Even for him, the intensity of this task was somewhat overwhelming.

The state of Li Xuefeng and the others was quite good since each of them was only responsible for reviewing a couple hundred Spiritual Objects.

”Letʼs hear your thoughts first. Are there any Spiritual Objects or Methods that could benefit the familyʼs development?” Li Zhirui asked.

”I think the family should acquire all of the following Spirit Beasts: fourth-grade Azure Water Dragon, fourth-grade Yellow Jade Dragon Lizard, fourth-grade Flamefire Dragon, and fourth-grade Thickshell Dragon Turtle!”

The Beast Rearing Elder was the first to speak up: ”Moreover, breeding Spirit Beasts is relatively challenging, other forces donʼt have a high demand for them, so the price the family would have to pay would be much less.”

From his words, it was clear that he intended to create a troop of high-grade Dragon-blooded Spiritual Beasts!

Dragons were inherently lustful creatures, and with almost no reproductive barriers with any other species, a large number of mixed-breed, though not particularly high-grade, Dragon Beasts could be bred rapidly through extensive mating.

And if these interbred with each other, it was possible that Dragon Beasts with ancestral bloodlines could be born!

Furthermore, the Li family already possessed several Dragon-blooded Spiritual Beasts, including Li Zhiruiʼs fifth-grade Qing Jiao, Jiang Fengwuʼs fourth-grade Five-colored Dragon Carp, and Li Zhixuanʼs fourth-grade Cold Dragon.

Among them, the Cold Dragon was placed on Wanxian Island by Li Zhixuan and had already bred a brood of third-grade offspring. Some clan members with compatible attributes had signed contracts with them.

This proposal wasnʼt bad at all, and its impact was far-reaching, benefiting a large number of clan members and providing a significant boost to the Li familyʼs future development.

”Does anyone else have suggestions?”

”I think the family should buy some inheritances of Cultivation Skills to improve the familyʼs skill level, which would reinforce its foundations and earn more Spirit Stones.”

...

The Elders each presented their views, but Li Zhirui still felt that the Beast Rearing Elderʼs idea was the best, even better than the few Spirit Seeds and Pill Recipes he had chosen.

The proposal benefited all family members and could enhance the overall strength of the family, whereas his methods would only benefit a very small portion of the family members.

And there were three types of Precious Pills that actually could sustain a Nascent Soul cultivatorʼs need for cultivation at that level.

”I support the Beast Rearing Elderʼs proposal! Our family takes ʼWanling Sutraʼ as its foundation, and the grade of Spirit Beasts is critical. Breeding high-grade Spirit Beasts is a necessary endeavor!” Li Xuefeng abandoned his own ideas and supported the Beast Rearing Elder instead.

”Think about it. If the young members of our family, regardless of their Spiritual Root qualifications, could all contract a third or even a fourth-grade Spirit Beast, wouldnʼt it be easier for them to break through to the Golden Core or even higher realms in the future?”

After all, the advancement in a Spirit Beastʼs cultivation would feedback to the cultivator, boosting their Mana, and a Contracted Spirit Beast could also slightly enhance their potential. The higher the grade of the Spirit Beast, the greater the potential improvement.

Of course, no matter how many Spirit Beasts one contracts, even those with the highest grade, the maximum improvement would not exceed nine points in Spiritual Root purity, but itʼs always better to have some improvement than none at all.

”And compared to other high-grade Spirit Beasts, Dragon-blooded Spiritual Beasts are easier to breed on a large scale and establish a clan. Plus, with the familyʼs current foundation, I believe that, given time, the family will definitely possess a troop of high-grade Dragon Beasts!” Li Xuefeng spoke passionately.

”Letʼs settle on this proposal then,” Li Zhirui decisively concluded, giving no opportunity for others to object.
