Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Turtle Matures
The Third Elder has established his foundation!
Li Quanqing never thought that this day would come so soon.
He originally thought that after losing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Li Kunli would at least be disheartened for a while before rallying to redeem his honor.
Who could have expected that in just half a month, a thunderclap would resound unexpectedly?
Li Kunli: Bet you didn’t expect it, I’ve established my foundation!
In contrast, Li Yumiao was completely defenseless.
The Foundation Establishment Pill, almost within reach, flew away without even a scent of Dan Fragrance caught, directly snatched by someone else.
Tears without crying!
"Big trouble is brewing!"
Li Quanqing, watching the Third Elder treading the skies with dazzling radiance, suddenly had a certain premonition.
And indeed, as he expected.
The lineage of the major Elder, having their defenses broken, went completely insane.
They adamantly claimed it was the Supreme Elder, Li Kunlun, who made a move, pretending to be a robber to seize the family’s Foundation Establishment Pill.
There was no other way, the timing was too perfect.
No sooner had the Foundation Establishment Pill been lost did Li Kunli breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Anyone would be led to think more into it.
Even Li Quanqing thought this possibility was not small.
After all, that’s just the Third Elder’s nature, to seize what he can’t obtain.
"The family is probably going to be in chaos for a while."
Li Quanqing thought to himself, but this was good for him.
Li Kunlun, together with Li Kunli, two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators joining forces, could definitely completely overwhelm the major Elder’s lineage.
Being a direct member and confidant of the Third Elder, all he needed to do was watch the drama unfold comfortably, the largest share of benefits wouldn’t miss him.
"Next time we meet, I can no longer call him Third Elder. I must address him as Supreme Second Elder!"
Li Quanqing suddenly remembered something: "In this regard, once I break through to Foundation Establishment, wouldn’t I become the Supreme Third Elder?"
Oh no, I’ve become the Third Elder!
He couldn’t help but laugh dumbly.
...
Qingyu Island was in chaos, but Li Quanqing had no interest in competing for benefits. He released the Longevity Turtle from the Spiritual Beast Bag, preparing to return to Fish-Dragon Island.
"Turtle, let’s go, let’s go home!"
The Longevity Turtle cried out and lazily paddled its paws, swimming towards the direction of Fish-Dragon Pool.
The vast Hanhai Sea blended with the sky at the horizon.
A man and his turtle leisurely traveled through the sea, enjoying the scenic beauty, relaxed and comfortable.
Now that Li Kunli’s Foundation Establishment was successful, with his backing upgraded, these leisurely days were naturally delightful.
When they were still three to four hundred li away from Baoying Fang, Li Quanqing saw that the family had completely sealed off this sea area.
Many family stewards were bustling about, salvaging the remnants of destroyed Spirit Boats, gathering the bodies of the Elders, and searching for traces left by the enemy.
"Is this the place where the Foundation Establishment Pill was snatched? Just past Baqing Square, the enemy really knew how to pick their location."
Li Quanqing stood on the turtle shell, gazing at the sea area, and couldn’t help looking a few more times.
The strength of the enemy who robbed the Li family’s Foundation Establishment Pill was truly formidable.
Five Qi Refining Perfection level family Elders, assisted by arrays and Second-Rank Spirit Talismans, couldn’t hold on for long and were all killed.
When the Clan Leader arrived from Qingyu Island, all he saw was devastation, shattered Spirit Boats, and the sea dyed red with blood, a sight too miserable to bear.
Crackling!
The Longevity Turtle stirred the seawater with its large paws, amidst the surging waves, and suddenly several small electric arcs exploded, tingling and numbing.
Gui Water Divine Thunder!
Li Quanqing extended his finger, mana swirling, dissipated a water-blue electric arc, turning it into a rich essence of Water Elemental Qi and dispersing it.
"No wonder, the Great Elder and others insisted it was the Supreme Elder who took action..."
Li Quanqing sighed. Li Kunlun, as a Thunder Attribute Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was best skilled in the high-grade mystic art, Gui Water Divine Thunder.
And into this sea area lingered the most powerful force, the Gui Water Divine Thunder itself. A bolt of lightning struck down, blasting the Li Family’s Spirit Boat into pieces.
Such terrifying power could only be emitted by a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment strongman.
"But with such obvious tactics, it looks like framing and setting up someone else. Unfortunately, the Great Elder and Li Yumiao did not listen to any explanations at all."
Yet no matter how they struggled, failure was a predetermined result.
"The enemy’s purpose is probably to provoke internal strife between the Supreme Elder and the Clan Leader, aiming to disintegrate our Green Jade Li Family."
"Who would have thought that the Third Elder would suddenly succeed in Foundation Establishment, causing the Clan Leader to now suppress his dissatisfaction and maintain family stability."
Li Quanqing grasped some understanding of the enemy’s psychology and motives.
"Ao ao!"
The Longevity Turtle swam in the water, preparing to bypass this sea area.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense a certain aura, cried out loudly, restless, and dived into the deep sea.
Li Quanqing, curious, did not stop it, and finally, among the crevices of the seabed’s rocks, discovered a pitch-black scale.
The scale was blunt round, larger than a palm, entwined with a faint Demon Energy, exuding a fierce and powerful pressure.
Holding the scale, Li Quanqing suddenly noticed, still clinging onto the scale were several drops of dark red Demon Blood.
[Taiyuan Mystic Turtle Demon Blood: Left over from a Second-rank Peak Demon Beast, with pure Demon Energy and noble bloodline, it helps to break through the realm of turtle-type Spiritual Beasts. Direct oral consumption is possible.]
Li Quanqing looked at the text that materialized before him.
He almost forgot that his Golden Finger also had the treasure appraisal function, capable of discovering various treasures beneficial for the growth of Spiritual Beasts.
"A Second-rank Peak Level Taiyuan Mystic Turtle, should be the Situ Family’s Island Guardian Spirit Beast..."
"Could it be that the Situ Family has stolen this Foundation Establishment Pill, targeting my Li Family deliberately?"
Li Quanqing held the icy cold turtle scale, his mind teeming with suspicions.
"Ao ao!"
The Longevity Turtle stretched its neck, almost too eager to swallow this Demon Blood, its eyes filled with desire.
Li Quanqing naturally would not be stingy. He collected all the blood and fed it to the turtle.
"Are you going to eat this scale?"
Seeing the Longevity Turtle showing disinterest, Li Quanqing patted its shell: "Let’s go, let’s return first."
"Quanqing Elder."
As the man and turtle returned to the site of the sunken ship, a family steward carefully approached, with a respectful attitude.
Now that the Supreme Elder’s power is immense, this lineage is destined to rise impressively; who would dare to be disrespectful?
Li Quanqing slightly nodded, offering the turtle scale: "This was discovered by my Spiritual Beast in the sea, suspected to be a scale left by the Taiyuan Mystic Turtle, possibly related to the culprit. I’ll leave it to you."
"Taiyuan Situ Family!"
The stewards were initially surprised, but then their eyes brightened.
This could be a perfect scapegoat.
Wise and valiant Elder Quanqing!
This would indeed provide a good explanation to the family!
Li Quanqing watched their expressions, a mix of amusement and disbelief: "It’s not something I made up. You can bring a few Spirit Turtles, and perhaps discover a few more scales."
He shook his head, lost interest in meddling further, and rode the turtle back to Fish-Dragon Island.
"Ao~"
The Great Demon blood was indeed extraordinary; just returning to Fish-Dragon Pool, Longevity Turtle let out a deep roar.
It swallowed Water Spiritual Energy in huge gulps, its whole body radiating Demon Energy from its shell, its aura churning, finally breaking through that boundary.
"Not easy at all, after raising it for four to five years, it has finally broken through!"
Li Quanqing felt the gratifying joy of a father watching his child grow up into an adult, eagerly rubbing his hands and reaching for the white light group on the turtle’s head.
[Harvest Qi Refining Early Stage Longevity Turtle one, reward high-grade Life Extension Elixir ’Turtle Age’ Elixir one!]
[Although Turtle Longevity Elixir: Though turtles live long, they still have their time. A high-grade life extension elixir that can aid Qi Refining cultivators to snatch the essence of heaven and earth, extending life by twenty years!]
The light dispersed, transforming into an elixir held within a Jade Bottle, smooth and flawless, emitting a tempting fragrance.
