Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 784 - 790: Wanted to Buy

Li Zhirui now had two options, either to strike first and deal with that demon and devil or to avoid being detected by them.

Despite his eagerness to deal with them, he couldnʼt due to his insufficient strength and had no choice but to evade.

”I must find a way to boost my combat power!”, relying on the Laws, Li Zhirui had no advantage.

Li Zhiruiʼs most familiar combat method was manipulating vines, but now the problem was that the grade of the vines was too low, their lethality insufficient, and they were rather fragile facing Divine Transformation.

So, the easiest method was to get a fifth-order Spirit Seed for the vines and then use space cultivation to crossbreed it with the other fourth-order vines in Li Zhiruiʼs possession, ultimately enhancing the grade of the Exploding Spirit Vine and other mutant vines.

But the problem was, fifth-order Spirit Seed was not easy to obtain!

Previously, when Li Zhirui had hundreds of thousands of Contribution Values, he intended to exchange for Spirit Seeds at the Spiritual Item Palace but found none.

After all, Spirit Vines, unlike Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Plants, had little practical value to cultivators, so naturally, nobody would bother to collect them.

Li Zhirui could now only think to ask other Divine Transformation cultivators if they had any fifth-order Spirit Seeds or any related information.

Now that a large number of Divine Transformations had gathered here, it was the best time to inquire about the Spirit Seeds. Missing this chance would certainly make things more troublesome.

ʼIf Da Qing, Xiaoqing, or Cang had broken through to the fifth order, I wouldnʼt be as embarrassed as today.ʼ, Li Zhirui sighed in his heart, but there was no use in rushing such matters.

After spending some time restoring his mana, Li Zhirui stepped out of the Formation and walked towards the recently reopened Spiritual Item Palace, where many cultivators had gathered.

When Li Zhirui arrived, many Divine Transformations looked at him curiously, their gazes also filled with pity and various other emotions.

In just a few hours, the news had spread throughout the entire Sky Palace.

They knew that Li Zhirui was an alchemist, but they did not know he was a fifth-order Alchemist and had also co-created the Pill Recipe for the Fusion Qi Pill!

The value of the Fusion Qi Pill was immeasurable; the few powerful forces demanded he conceal his identity, and they also made every effort to keep the news hidden.

If they had known, they surely wouldnʼt have shown such attitudes and would have come up to make friendly inquiries and help as much as possible.

A fifth-order Alchemy Master of such exceptional talent and capability deserved the respect of any Divine Transformation and was worth establishing a good relationship with.

Li Zhirui pretended to see nothing and asked aloud, ”I wonder if any fellow Daoists might have fifth-order Spirit Vine Seeds? Iʼm willing to purchase at a high price, or exchange if possible.”

Seeing that no one responded, he added, ”If not, even knowing accurate related information will earn the fellow Daoist a reward, such as Healing Pills or the like.”

With these words, the atmosphere suddenly became lively as several Divine Transformations spoke up.

”I remember my senior brother has a Spirit Seed; let me ask him for you when I return.”

”I seem to recall that a Clan Leader in my family has a Spirit Seed.”

...

”Then, Iʼll trouble the fellow Daoists. Since the fifth-order Seeds are quite pricey, at most, I can only buy one or two. I will wait here for you all at noon tomorrow. If Iʼve already made a purchase, my apologies to the fellow Daoists who come later,” Li Zhirui quickly added.

With a space at hand, he could just use Spirit Stones to foster growth; there was no need to spend a lot buying numerous Spirit Seeds.

Having said all he needed to, and with no other business there, Li Zhirui left.

The following day, as Li Zhirui was preparing to leave for the Spiritual Item Palace, he heard Yu Xueʼs voice outside the formation.

Having heard the news, Yu Xue hurried over and immediately asked with concern in her eyes, ”Fellow Daoist, are you alright?”

”Iʼm fine, they didnʼt even break through the formation, how could they have injured me?”

”Thatʼs a relief,” Yu Xue sighed, then added, ”I also heard you are purchasing fifth-order Spirit Vinesʼ Spirit Seeds?”

”It seems the news travels fast.”

Li Zhirui, with a self-deprecating smile, said, ”My strength is a bit lacking at the moment, and my Laws have little offensive power, so I have to resort to obtaining external items.”

”Brother Yu Cheng, who was saved by your top-tier Treasure Pills, has a fifth-order Spirit Seed. Hearing that you need it, he entrusted me to help bring it over to you.” With that, Yu Xue took out an ancient Jade Box.

”This is a Spirit Seed my senior brother obtained during his travels in the outside world more than a decade ago, identified as the fifth-order Bloodfire Thorn Vine. It doesnʼt have much use for him, so heʼd like to use it to repay the life-saving favor he owes you.”

The Bloodfire Thorn Vine, a type of Spirit Vine with formidable killing power, inflicts a fiery poison into oneʼs bloodstream upon contact, as if oneʼs blood is being scorched by raging flames, causing unbearable pain.

However, for cultivators who do not primarily cultivate the Wood Spirit Root, it is somewhat of lesser value because it wonʼt be used in crafting Spiritual Objects.

Once the Bloodfire Thorn Vine dies, it loses its special fiery poison, and without that trait, itʼs just an ordinary fifth-order Spirit Vine. What use would that be?

”I... cannot accept this.”

Li Zhirui admitted he was very tempted, but he also was not one to take advantage of favors owed, shaking his head, he said, ”I gave you those Treasure Pills because of our relationship, and on the Fusion Qi Pill, I owe you quite a bit...”

”One thing doesnʼt change the other, a life-saving grace isnʼt something that can be repaid with just one fifth-order Spirit Seed! If you donʼt accept it now, my senior brother would likely drag his illness-stricken body here to deliver it personally.”

”Alright, this Spirit Seed really does solve an urgent problem for me, so letʼs not mention the life-saving grace anymore.”

Before he could speak, Li Zhirui preemptively asked, ”By the way, do you know when the Ascension Void Array will be repaired and we will be able to return to the Profound Origin Realm?”

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xue answered, ”My senior brother mentioned it would likely be within the next month or two.”

”Are you worried that the Demon Cultivator and the Devil Race wonʼt let you off? If it comes to it, you can follow our Luofu Sect. Just leave halfway through.”

Li Zhirui was tempted by the suggestion. If he followed the Luofu Sect, surely they wouldnʼt dare follow him, but on second thought, the matter couldnʼt just be left hanging. An ultimate resolution was needed.

Now, with the fifth-order Spirit Seed that Yu Xue had brought him, even if he didnʼt acquire a second one, it didnʼt matter. He might as well take this opportunity to deal with them once and for all, to extinguish future troubles permanently.

”Nevermind, itʼs better not to trouble you, and I have other plans in mind,” he ultimately decided, shaking his head in refusal.

Yu Xue glanced at Li Zhirui and said, ”If thereʼs anything you need help with, just let me know! One Spirit Seed cannot compare to the life of my senior brother and junior brother.”

”Alright, if there really is something, I wonʼt hesitate to ask.”

Li Zhirui readily agreed, glanced at the time, and said, ”Sorry, I have to make a trip to the Spiritual Item Palace.”

”Go ahead, itʼs also time for me to return.”

Both of them left the formation together, walking a short distance side by side, then parted ways.

By the time Li Zhirui arrived at the Spiritual Item Palace, several Divine Transformation cultivators were already waiting.
