Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 435 - 441 - : Treasure Hunting
However, when they carefully observed and found that the number of dragon claws on Cang was incorrect, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a True Dragon, it was fine.
Li Zhirui, sitting nobly at the highest seat, noticed all the changes in their expressions, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The gap between them was simply too vast.
Besides, he also knew what they were worried about, which was nothing more than the fear that the Li family would produce another Nascent Soul True Lord in a short period of time, a real threat to Shen Leishan.
Unfortunately, this worry ultimately came to fruition!
Because Li Zhirui had a Nascent Soul Pill in his hand, as long as Jiang Fengwu cultivated to the level of Golden Core Perfection, polished his state of mind and moral integrity, then breaking through wouldn't be a big problem.
Of course, whether he could successfully break through in the end depended on whether he could smoothly overcome the Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation.
——
Clang!
With a thought from Li Zhirui, the Jade Bell beside him emitted a series of ethereal and crisp chimes, calming the cultivators down, so that they could better learn and comprehend what he was about to lecture on.
True skills couldn't possibly be exposed openly to so many unrelated people, so this lecture was merely about things unrelated to cultivation.
Despite appearing simple, this task was actually quite difficult. The content couldn't be fabricated haphazardly; he had to speak of things that were substantial and made logical sense.
"...This lecture will end here."
With these words, Li Zhirui vanished from sight. Everything that needed to be done was done, and the Grand Ceremony was nearing its end. What was the point of continuing to stay?
The crowd felt a sense of loss, wanting to retain him, but reason held them back.
After everyone came to their senses, a few words from Li Shiqing would bring the Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony to a close.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with the ceremony?" Li Shiqing asked with a pleased smile after many of the outsiders had left.
"Of course, I am satisfied. Thank you, Uncle," Li Zhirui replied. But in reality, he had no lasting impression of the ceremony, as he had only lectured on 'the way' for roughly half an hour and had not paid any attention to his surroundings.
"Right, take these two Pill Recipes and study them. As for the Spiritual Medicine, we can see if we can buy some after a while," Li Shiqing said as he handed two Jade Slips to Li Zhirui.
As for the concern about Spiritual Medicine, there was no need to worry. Whether it was the Xuanfa Pavilion or the Southern Edge Commerce Association, since they had offered the Pill Recipes, they would naturally put the Spiritual Medicine on sale for the Li family to purchase.
Regrettably, they had overlooked one detail—the Li family was currently low on Spirit Stones!
But there were still many things to be done, among which the most important, and what required spending the most Spirit Stones, was the promotion of the Spirit Vein!
Li Zhirui, in his daily cultivation, absorbed so much Spiritual Energy that it caused a shortage for the other members of his clan during their cultivation. The reason was that the tier 3 Spirit Vein didn't produce Spiritual Energy quickly enough to meet Li Zhirui's current needs.
As a result, Li Zhirui was extremely reserved in his cultivation practice, fearing that he would delay the other clan members.
However, this couldn't go on indefinitely. The cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm was naturally slow, and it would become even slower this way, so he started planning for the promotion of the Spirit Vein.
But this matter couldn't be rushed.
Firstly, to meet the conditions for the promotion of the Spirit Vein, a huge amount of Spirit Stones was needed—at least three million!
Even for the current Li family, it would take several years to accumulate, as while income was increasing, so were the expenses.
Secondly, without an advancement Formation, the Spirit Vein would need time to slowly digest the Spirit Stones, thereby promoting the advancement of the Spirit Vein.
Therefore, before the advancement of his Spirit Vein, Li Zhirui either had to restrain his cultivation at certain times or rely on Spirit Stones to meet the daily needs of his practice.
"Uncle, I've decided to go out and gain experience for a while, to adapt to my current level of cultivation," Li Zhirui suddenly spoke.
"Good, go ahead, we are here to take care of the family." Li Shiqing was not aware that Li Zhirui's departure was actually to seek Life-Extending Spiritual Objects for him.
Although he could not be sure how much longer Li Shiqing had to live, the unease in Li Zhirui's heart reminded him that it was better to find the Life-Extending Spiritual Objects sooner rather than later to avoid any accidents.
The reason he did not tell Li Shiqing the truth was firstly to avoid worrying him, and secondly to prevent disappointment.
"Uncle, take care of yourself, I'll be heading back now."
"Understood!"
After returning to his cave dwelling, Li Chengshuo, who was beyond excited, approached, exclaiming, "Daddy, you're simply amazing! When you appeared, it was like an Immortal descending from the heavens."
Li Zhirui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your little mouth really is sweet, what is it that you want? Just say it."
In the end, he gave his newly refined second-grade Spirit Pills to both Li Chengshuo and his sister Li Chengsheng, including those that could be used by the Spirit Beasts to accelerate their growth, before he could send her away.
"I'm going out to look for Life-Extending Spiritual Objects." Facing Jiang Fengwu, Li Zhirui naturally did not need to lie, saying with an apologetic face, "I will come back as quickly as possible."
Jiang Fengwu did not want to be apart from him, but she understood the urgency of the matter, "Alright then, take care and stay safe."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I am in the Nascent Soul Realm now." Surely he wouldn't be that unlucky to encounter a Nascent Soul battle as soon as he stepped outside, would he?
Jiang Fengwu suddenly suggested, "Before you leave, should we have Sheng do a divination for you?"
"Oh, that would be great, to test Sheng's abilities," Li Zhirui readily agreed.
The two of them called Li Chengsheng over, explained the situation to him, and asked, "Can you do the divination? Is it too difficult? Will it deplete your luck?"
"I can do the divination, but my skills are not refined, and furthermore, since you are a Nascent Soul True Lord, the difficulty is too great, the results might not be accurate," he replied.
Regarding the last question, Li Chengsheng evaded an answer, which clearly meant that it would deplete his luck.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui no longer wanted him to conduct the divination. If no useful information could be obtained, why let Li Chengsheng sacrifice his precious luck?
"Let's not pursue this matter further. Don't think about it anymore, and definitely do not divinate alone on the mountain, OK?"
"Alright then." Originally full of anticipation, Li Chengsheng returned to his room feeling dejected.
But no one knew that once back in his room, Li Chengsheng secretly performed a divination after all.
The divination showed some twists and turns, but overall, the journey seemed fairly smooth, although it might take a longer time than expected.
The next day, Li Zhirui did not inform the other clan members and set out alone on his quest for the Life-Extending Spiritual Object.

"Mom, where's Daddy?" Having finished his morning practice, Li Chengsheng hurried over but learned from Jiang Fengwu that Li Zhirui had already left Wanxian Island.
"Do you need him for something?" Jiang Fengwu looked up at her son, who rarely came to them on his own initiative.
Disappointed, Li Chengsheng said, "I secretly did a divination last night and wanted to tell Daddy, but now..."
"Since he's not home, tell me about it," Jiang Fengwu offered.
