Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Slave Beast Seal
Li Quanqing walked out from the grand hall, and immediately felt a slight relaxation in his heart, the air no longer felt so oppressive.
Inside, there were too many Foundation Establishment Cultivators seated, and even without speaking, their unintentional aura would spread out, pressing heavily on one’s heart like a mountain.
"That purple-robed cultivator, is he our Li Family’s Supreme Elder? It’s my first time seeing him, and he truly appears wise and valiant!"
Li Quange chirped from the side, fortunately, he was smart enough to keep his voice very low.
"Indeed, it is that elder himself, our Hall Master’s own brother, a true pillar for our family’s Artifact Refiners!"
Li Quanqing tugged at his Artifact Refiner’s robe, feeling honored. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Li Quanmo spoke up from his direct lineage background, knowing much news, "The Supreme Elder usually stays deep inside Jade Dragon Pond and doesn’t concern himself with mundane family affairs, focusing solely on his cultivation. I heard he is already a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!"
Li Quanshu gathered her hair at her ears and smiled gently, listening to how these youngsters discussed the formidable influence of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
She thought of the aloof Fairy Shen, like the moon, and reaffirmed the goals on her own cultivation path, deciding to brag about it to her sisters once she returned.
That was a Foundation Ancestor, a formidable figure ordinary people never even see.
The young members of the Li Family joked and laughed together, in groups, the atmosphere completely relaxed.
Now that the crisis for the Green Jade Li Family was resolved, and a Foundation Establishment Pill would soon be accounted for, it was truly a flourishing time for the family.
Anyone would feel that the future was filled with hope.
Li Quanqing walked out of the Cave Mansion and suddenly in the ruins that he had shattered, he saw an unexpected familiar figure.
"Li Quangeng?"
"Aren’t you cultivating at the Shuihua Sword Sect?"
As soon as Li Quanqing finished speaking, his heart suddenly stirred, realizing something.
"I am waiting for my master."
Li Quangeng, carrying a Sword Box and still dressed as a Sword Cultivator, slightly tilted his chin up, exuding arrogance and sharpness.
However, he suddenly paused his words, sizing up Li Quanqing with slightly widened eyes, somewhat incredulously: "Qi Refining Eighth Level, when did you break through?"
"Just yesterday, I’ve just broken through."
Li Quanqing smiled modestly, his gaze pure, "You are a high-grade spirit root, and were already at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer much earlier than me, your cultivation speed is way faster, you must have broken through to the Ninth Layer by now, right?"
"Hmph... just a bit short, but it will be soon."
Li Quangeng was straightforward and rarely lied, always telling the truth.
His expression turned slightly unnatural, suspecting that the young man in the green robe was definitely doing this on purpose.
"Quangeng, catching up with your own family members, huh?"
Duan Dongyang approached at this moment, exuding an amiable and respectable teacher’s demeanor, "I am going to make a trip to Taiyuan Island soon, don’t you have a fiancée still on Qingyu Island? Go visit her."
"Greetings to the Upper Sect Envoy!"
Li Quanqing and the others hurriedly bowed.
Duan Dongyang hummed, scanned them, and his eyebrows slightly raised: "Such pure Water Element Essence Qi, Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill? Your Li Family is truly blessed with good fortune, so young and surely another true Foundation Establishment Seed in the future."
"Brother Duan speaks too highly, this youngster is still young, not worthy of such praise."
The Supreme Elder came over at this moment, laughing heartily, blocking his view and subtly steering the conversation away.
Once the two Foundation Cultivators had left, Li Quanqing finally took a long sigh of relief and wiped the dense sweat on his forehead.
"Is Lord Duan Dongyang someone you invited?"
He looked at the sword-carrying youth, guessing in his mind, "Fish Mirror?"
Li Quangeng nodded, "My grandfather sent me a message, so I invited my master here. The Foundation Establishment Pill arriving soon will be prepared for my father."
Li Quanqing frowned upon hearing this, sensing trouble internally.
With only one Foundation Establishment Pill, the factional struggle between the Great Elder and the Third Elder was likely about to erupt into an open conflict.
For the time being, he should just stay on Fish-Dragon Island and avoid returning to the family as much as possible.
With a heavy heart, Li Quanqing left this place to return to the island and continue his seclusion.
Just as he arrived back at Fish-Dragon Pool, a visitor arrived, dressed in red, her figure graceful and curvaceous.
"Xie Hongyue?"
Li Quanqing looked through the Array to the young lady standing at the bow of the boat. This person was none other than Xie Hongyu’s older sister, the possessor of a top-grade spiritual root from the Xie family.
"Mr. Li."
Xie Hongyue bowed slightly and spoke charmingly, "This is a treasure my sister Hongyu found in the ruins of the Whale Emperor Sect. I’ve come to exchange a marvelous technique with you, if you would be so willing?"
Li Quanqing watched as she took out a Jade Scroll, opening up the Array to invite her in.
A Low-grade Marvelous Method - "Slave Beast Seal."
This was a spell used to enslave Spiritual Beasts, planting mental suggestions within the consciousness of the beasts, subtly and gradually making them more loyal to their master.
Even Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts would be affected and willingly enslaved to serve.
Li Quanqing found this "Slave Beast Seal" very intriguing. After thinking for a moment, he took out two Jade Scrolls.
"Here is a ’Water Escape Technique’ and a ’Dragon Whale Great Strength Body.’ Which one would you like to exchange?"
Certainly, he would not exchange the Ice Soul Cold Light; its rank was too high, and its value did not match.
Xie Hongyue reached out and briefly read the contents of the two Jade Scrolls.
"To cultivate this ’Dragon Whale Great Strength Body,’ one actually needs the essence blood of a Dragon Whale?"
"This is a Second-stage Demon Beast at the Foundation Establishment level!"
The young lady furrowed her brow slightly, feeling somewhat indecisive.
"This ’Water Escape Technique’ is also quite excellent. It requires no external objects and solely through dedicated cultivation, one can master it, moving through vast waters unseen and traceless."
Li Quanqing spoke up; he was currently cultivating the Water Escape Technique himself, although regrettably, it was too profound, and he found it somewhat incomprehensible.
He could only rely on his spirit pets to cheat his way through later.
Eventually, after contemplating, Xie Hongyue chose the Dragon Whale Great Strength Body.
There was no way around it; a higher rank held an advantage, and besides, while the Xie family also had many escape techniques, Body Refinement methods were rarer.
As for the Dragon Whale essence blood, with some effort, it should still be possible to obtain it in a large Workshop.
"Slave Beast Seal..."
Li Quanqing fiddled with the Jade Scroll in his hand. Li Quanshu mentioned that originally there were only four marvelous methods in that scripture tower.
Now, he had collected them all, and purposefully acquiring the original Jade Scrolls; their color was as blue as the sea, engraved with patterns of oceans and whales.
He glanced at the Thunder Horn Python Queen coiled around his wrist, a Demon Beast of rebellious bloodline, possessing the strength to break through the late stages of Qi Refining.
It was a good candidate for testing the power of the Slave Beast Seal.
Whoosh!
Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the ocean surface, placing the Jade Scroll on his forehead, and began to comprehend these marvelous methods.
The Water Escape Technique was profound and abstruse, requiring gradual and painstaking research, then relying on the Light Group Golden Finger for cheats.
The Slave Beast Seal was simple to perform but demanded a high soul strength; a slight mishap could easily cause backlash.
The Dragon Whale Great Strengthly needed essence blood for cultivation, which he would not consider now since his Glazed Jade Bone Body was not yet perfect.
As for the last Ice Soul Cold Light, it had a moderate difficulty in cultivation but powerful effects, heavily dependent on external factors.
Success in cultivation could only be achieved with the aid of extremely cold heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
After reading through the Jade Scroll, Li Quanqing fell into contemplation and thought of the hundred-year-old Ice Soul Pearl in his Dantian, which he often used to perform Ice Magic.
The Jade Scroll not only detailed the steps to cultivate Ice Soul Cold Light but also recorded various common treasures of Ice Attribute.
According to the records, a single hundred-year Ice Soul could cultivate a strand of Ice Soul Cold Light.
Combining thirty-six strands into a thread, and twelve threads into one, it would compose a true and complete Ice Soul Cold Light.
Cultivating a complete Ice Soul Cold Light, achieving minor success in the marvelous technique, and using Foundation Establishment Power to activate it, was enough to pierce through heaven and earth, freezing thousands of miles.
