Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 51: Strolling Around

A mountain flickering with green light, which looks quite mysterious. But upon a closer look, one would realize the peak is filled with green Spirit Swords, and it is the presence of these Spirit Swords that creates such a peculiar scene.

This Spirit Mountain, made of countless discarded Spirit Swords, is called Green Sword Mountain, the stronghold of the Green Sword Sect.

At the mountainside sat a magnificent hall, housing a gathering of Cultivators, all of whom were the power holders of the Green Sword Sect.

"Are you prepared?" the man sitting at the highest position asked. Instead of the Sect Leader of the Green Sword Sect, it was a middle-aged man whose faintly emanating aura revealed that he was a powerful Cultivator of the Golden Core realm.

The Sect Leader quickly stood up and replied, "Everything is prepared. As soon as the time comes, the people we’ve arranged will take action and divert all of Yuanming Sect’s attention to Yunqing Marketplace."

"Hmm," replied Yu Qing indifferently, "Go check everything again. We must ensure that there is no room for error. This is an opportunity for our Sect to rise; we cannot afford any mistakes!"

"Understood!" Everyone stood up, their eyes brimming with zeal and anticipation.

After everyone left, Yu Qing lifted his gaze towards the swords outside the hall and murmured to himself, "Yuanming Sect will eventually fade into nothingness under the sword light. The master of this region can only be the Green Sword Sect!"

The voice was very faint, yet it conveyed a sense of determination and confidence.

Da Rong Island.

Li Zhirui was preparing for a trip to the Marketplace. Apart from having stayed too long in the family and feeling an urge to move, he also wanted to purchase some second-tier Spiritual Medicine Spirit Seeds.

He could now see the gate that led to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. Once he crossed this threshold, the Foundation Establishment Realm would no longer be an unattainable realm.

Li Zhirui believed that it wouldn’t be long before that day arrived, given his aptitude. It was time to start preparing for the slow-growing second-tier Spiritual Medicines.

In fact, this was already Li Zhirui’s third time collecting second-tier Spirit Seeds. Previously, he had gathered some commonly used second-tier Spiritual Medicines, and by investing a large number of Spirit Stones to accelerate their growth, they now occupied a significant portion of the land in his space.

Therefore, this time, Li Zhirui intended to collect some rare and precious second-tier Spirit Seeds.

Given their rarity and value, the prices were naturally high, which was why Li Zhirui was only beginning to collect them now.

Although he earned a large number of Spirit Stones through Alchemy, Li Zhirui was also spending them quickly. Balancing the two, he could hardly save many Spirit Stones.

Fortunately, as the scale of the second-tier Spiritual Medicines grew, they gradually no longer required the boost from Spirit Stones to thrive, and he was finally able to save some Spirit Stones.

It was the same unassuming paper crane that leisurely carried Li Zhirui towards the Marketplace.

However, upon entering the Marketplace, Li Zhirui failed to notice that today’s influx of townspeople included a considerable number of Cultivators dressed in black.

Li Zhirui made his way to a merchant he knew well, sold some Spirit Pills, and then headed to a shop selling Spirit Seeds. He spoke with a coarse voice, "I’d like to purchase some Spirit Seeds."

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me." Hearing Li Zhirui say this, the shop assistant knew a hefty deal was imminent and quickly led him into a private room.

Once inside, Li Zhirui presented his request, "Bring me the catalog for the second-tier Spirit Seeds."

The catalog wasn’t anything valuable, so the shop assistant immediately took out a Jade Slip from his storage bag and handed it over.

Li Zhirui examined the list while comparing it against the Spirit Seeds he lacked and took note of the ones he needed.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Zhirui looked up and said, "I need Qingyun Grass, Red Crane Flower, Single Yang Fruit..."

In total, there were more than thirty second-rank Spirit Seeds, worth up to four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

Ignoring the shock in the assistant’s eyes, Li Zhirui continued, "Take one of each of these Spirit Seeds."

"...Please, fellow Daoist, wait a moment," the assistant paused briefly before responding.

"Right, do you have any second-rank Spirit Fruit Tree seeds? Ones for the water and wood elements."

In fact, Spirit Fruit Tree seeds weren’t considered precious, but because their growth took so long, requiring ten to twenty years just to grow, and the Spirit Fruit they produced was less effective than Spirit Pills and absorbed more Spiritual Energy than Spiritual Medicine, few cultivators purchased them.

The Li family had also only planted two second-rank Spirit Fruit Trees, one being a Water Cloud Spirit Fruit Tree and the other a Yellow Earth Fruit Spirit Tree.

However, Spirit Fruit had its advantages, such as being harvestable every few years upon maturation, lacking the drug resistance and toxicity of Spirit Pills, and having a very good taste.

Had it not been for Li Zhirui possessing a space of his own, he wouldn’t have considered planting second-rank Spirit Fruit Trees.

"We do. Here’s the catalog, fellow Daoist, take a look. I’ll go to the storeroom to fetch these Spirit Seeds for you," the assistant said, handing over a somewhat aged Jade Slip before hurrying off.

With such a big deal on the line, just the commission could net him dozens of Spirit Stones; he dared not delay. He wished to complete the transaction right away.

But because Li Zhirui requested so many Spirit Seeds, the storeroom assistant would need time to find them all, causing a slight delay.

"Water Cloud Fruit, Green Crystal Fruit, Ghost Blue Fruit..." There weren’t many types of water and wood element Spirit Fruits, just over a dozen, and Li Zhirui quickly looked through them all.

Li Zhirui was now somewhat conflicted about whether to purchase them all. The seeds weren’t expensive, costing just over a hundred Spirit Stones each, and with his current wealth, acquiring them all wouldn’t be an issue.

However, if he did that, he would not have Spirit Stones to stimulate the growth of Spiritual Medicine.

After wrestling with the decision, Li Zhirui still decided to buy them all. He might not come out again for a long time, and the tree seeds couldn’t be entrusted to the family for help, but the Spirit Pills could be sold to the family to earn Spirit Stones.

Moreover, spending so many Spirit Stones this time could attract unwanted attention, so it would be best not to appear in the Marketplace for a short while.

Before long, the assistant returned with the Spirit Seeds, but he quickly went out again to fetch the tree seeds Li Zhirui requested.

In the end, Li Zhirui paid out nearly six thousand Spirit Stones, obtaining several dozen second-rank Spirit Seeds and tree seeds.

In a backyard Li Zhirui had never set foot in, a burly man with a fierce gaze said, "Shopkeeper, should we follow him..."

"You follow him and see. If there’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, come back immediately," the shopkeeper didn’t reject the suggestion, but such a Qi Cultivation cultivator who could spend so many Spirit Stones was rare, certainly a person with a background. It was better to be cautious and prevent exposing one’s identity.

"Yes!" The burly man, though greedy, wasn’t blinded by his desires and followed Li Zhirui cautiously.

As he shadowed Li Zhirui and saw him enter the backyard of Li Family’s Grocery Store, he immediately guessed his identity and didn’t dare linger, promptly slipping away.

After the burly man departed, Li Zhirui instantly felt the gaze that had been following him disappear, and couldn’t help feeling relieved. Fortunate was he to have the Li family as support; had he been a Loose Cultivator, would he have been able to slip away so effortlessly?

"What are you doing here in Yunqing Marketplace and not cultivating properly on Da Rong Island?" Li Shiren said with a hint of annoyance.

Li Zhirui chuckled and replied, "Isn’t it a long time since I’ve seen you, Ren? I specifically came today to see you and incidentally to do some trading."
