Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 320 - 326: 5 Years
After Li Shiren's death, Li Zhirui was downcast for quite some time, just as when Li Shiting had died, Li Zhiyue became impulsive and almost fell into madness, although he was not as extreme.
But the bond between the two of them was no less than that of Li Shiting and Li Zhiyue, so for a long time, Li Zhirui's mood was very gloomy, and he had no interest in doing anything else.
Fortunately, life must go on, and one must look forward. With the company of Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengshuo, and Li Chengsheng, he soon recovered.
The first thing Li Zhirui did after his recovery was to continue studying the Mystical Ginseng Pill Recipe, aiming to refine the Mystical Ginseng Pill as soon as possible.
However, he no longer neglected sleep and food as before, setting aside some time every day to spend with his brother and sister, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.
Since the kids were growing up and starting to remember things, naturally, their parents could not be absent for long, lest they be forgotten by their children.
And so, time passed uneventfully.
It wasn't until two years later, that Li Zhiyue's Contracted Spirit Beast broke through the third rank. After stabilizing her cultivation, she proposed to go out for training.
Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, fearing she was going off to avenge herself against the Monohorn Behemoth clan, dared not let her go. Even with her repeated assurances, they did not believe her.
But in fact, Li Zhiyue was not seeking revenge. Over the years, the hatred in her heart had not vanished, but she had become much calmer. She knew she was just an ant, and if she really went after the Monohorn Behemoth, she would not only be unable to seek revenge but would also fall into an abyss and might even bring trouble to the Li family.
In the end, with no other choice, Li Zhiyue had to turn to Li Zhirui, hoping he could help persuade their elders to allow her to go out and gain some experience.
After all, staying in the family the whole time, seeing the same scenery back and forth, had bored Li Zhiyue.
Moreover, she was ambitious and wanted to advance further, naturally not willing to stay in the family forever.
After listening to Li Zhiyue's grievances, Li Zhirui couldn't help but chuckle. He could tell she wasn't lying. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let me accompany you on a trip."
Seeing Li Zhiyue bringing Li Zhirui with her, Li Shiqing knew she hadn't given up and had even found help, so he immediately spoke out in opposition, "I do not agree to you going out!"
"Uncle, that's a bit too much. Zhiyue wants to go out and improve herself. How can you stop her?" Li Zhirui talked for a long time before he convinced Li Shiqing.
However, he did have a condition, which was that Li Zhiyue must not seek trouble with the Monohorn Behemoth clan, at least not this time.

"Thank you, Jiu!" Li Zhiyue said happily. She knew Li Zhirui could make it happen!
Li Zhirui shook his head and smiled, "Since you're planning to go out and train, let me give you some early advice, so you don't worry when it's time for you to leave and I'm busy with other things."
In these two years, Li Zhirui had already amassed enough mystical ginseng, and having gathered the herbs for the Mystical Ginseng Pill, he was eager to start refining it.
Seeing the various Spirit Pills he had taken out, Li Zhiyue hurriedly intervened, "Jiu, that's enough. Remember, I am also an alchemist. Although I can't compare to you, I have some real skills. You should keep these Spirit Pills for yourself."
With that, she hurriedly ran off as if someone was chasing her.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui laughingly shook his head helplessly but was at least relieved that she was unwilling to accept them.
Not long after, Li Zhiyue left Wanxian Island. She planned to head to the south for her training.
Not long after she left the Li family, Li Chenghuo also wanted to go out and seek the opportunity for Core Formation.
For this situation, the family showed no intention of stopping him and very readily agreed; however, Li Zhirui and a few other elders privately gave him some nice things.
They even wished that there could be more clansmen like Li Chenghuo. Sadly, apart from him, there was no second youngster seen who had hope of breaking through in the short term.
Time flew, and years passed by quickly.
That year, the Li family's carefully nurtured Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicine successively matured!
Once this news was spread, not only were many of the Li family members excited and delighted, but the vassal forces in Yunping State and Guangqing State also felt happy, since this meant they could conveniently obtain Foundation Establishment Pills!
Especially for those forces who had been promised by the Li family and had the qualifications to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills, there was both excitement and worry. Excited that they could obtain Foundation Establishment Pills and advance their strength further, worried that the Li family had already forgotten this matter or did not intend to keep their promise.
"Next, it's going to be hard on you, Zhirui," Li Shilian patted Li Zhirui's shoulder.
There were dozens of mature Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicines, not too many but also not too few, which would take quite some time for Li Zhirui to process.
Over the years, Li Zhirui's alchemy skills had improved significantly; after all, the Spirit Pills he refined were an important source of income for the family, and he virtually never stopped alchemy.
Moreover, under his efforts, the Mystical Ginseng Pill was successfully refined, its effects much stronger than the Essence-Enhancing Pill, significantly speeding up the cultivation rate.
However, not too many explanations had been given for the origins of the Mystical Ginseng Pill, so until now, only Li Zhirui could secretly take it.
Therefore, letting Li Zhirui refine the Foundation Establishment Pills was not a difficult task, with the success rate of pill formation basically above eighty percent, and occasionally, with good luck, nine Foundation Establishment Pills could be obtained.
It took him more than half a month to refine fifty percent of the family's Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicines into Foundation Establishment Pills, yielding nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills!
As for the remaining Spiritual Medicine, it was allowed to continue growing, since even if Foundation Establishment Pills were stored well, the potency would still diminish over a long period.
With enough Foundation Establishment Pills, the Li family not only fulfilled their previous promises but also held a small-scale auction, successfully harvesting a wave of Spirit Stones from those vassal forces.
In those years, another significant event took place in the Li family: the Cold Dragon brought out of the Secret Realm by Li Zhixuan had successfully broken through the third stage not long before, its bloodline evolved, becoming more dragon-like.
From then on, the Cold Dragon started living a happy life, striving tirelessly for the Li family to have a Dragon-blooded Spiritual Beasts Clan!
At the same time, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, the siblings, had also turned five years old and were ready to test their Spiritual Roots.
However, worrying about the excellent talent of the twins, Li Zhirui had long prepared to test them in private.
The excuse for the family was also ready: they said they were anxious to know the children's talents, so they tested them in advance.
If the talents were too excellent, Li Zhirui would cover it up to avoid attracting the covetousness of Shen Leishan.
On the day of testing the twins' Spiritual Roots, aside from Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu, the parents, only two elders, Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, were watching.
With the Spirit Measuring Ruler in hand, Li Zhirui was uneasy. He feared that his previous speculations were all illusory, that the children's talents were not good, or even worse, that they didn't have Spiritual Roots at all!
