Chapter 1080: Chapter 1009: Bizarre
Because the Five Viscera Gods are only at an early stage of development, far from perfection, Li Zhirui doesn’t even have the ability to mobilize them out of the organs. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
It’s like a lit candle that could be extinguished by the slightest wind or rain.
The reason the Five Viscera Gods were so quickly refined to perfection in the cultivators Li Zhirui initially experimented on was because he piled up a large amount of Spiritual Objects and nurtured them lavishly. It was like a castle in the air, seemingly splendid but lacking a main supporting pillar inside.
After all, Li Zhirui was only interested in observing the effects at that time, unconcerned about the life and death of those cultivators.
However, when Li Zhirui started cultivating himself, he definitely would not use such risky methods that could leave hidden problems. He was extremely cautious, devoid of any rash or adventurous ideas.
The Five Viscera Gods within Li Zhirui now, either resemble the Wood Element liver and Water Element kidney, which have been nurtured by absorbing Spiritual Energy from the environment and continuously refined; or like the other three Viscera Gods, cultivated from refined Spiritual Energy produced by the Five Phases generating cycle.
Although the efficiency is relatively low, the foundation is solid, and now that the Five Phases generating cycle is established, the transformation and nurturing speed has also increased.
At the same time, Li Zhirui was pleasantly surprised to find that the Five Visceral Refining Divine Method had a certain accelerating effect on the growth of his Cave Heaven Spiritual Root!
One must know, he suppressed his own cultivation, unwilling to make a breakthrough, because he wished to provide sufficient growth time for his Cave Heaven Spiritual Root.
This is an Immortal Grade Spiritual Root!
It is also the biggest opportunity Li Zhirui has obtained to this date, and moreover, it is the foundation for his future path - naturally, he did not wish to leave any imperfections.
With this unexpected pleasant surprise, Li Zhirui could slightly lift some of his self-imposed restrictions and slowly increase his cultivation speed.
After setting a good long-term cultivation plan for himself, Li Zhirui ended this seclusion. He needed to exchange for some Spirit Stones from the family, to foster the growth of Spiritual Objects in his space.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing sought him out right away.
"Jiu, I also plan to change my cultivation to ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’!"
Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly, asking with some curiosity, "What happened? What made you change your mind?"
If he remembered correctly, although Xiaoqing had previously shown intentions to change her cultivation, she ultimately did not make up her mind due to considerations for her more distant future.
Xiaoqing’s decision to change her mind must have been prompted by some stimulation.
"Da Qing came out of his seclusion recently. I sparred with him and found myself completely no match for him; the gap in strength was too great!" After a moment of silence, Xiaoqing finally spoke.
"So you are not planning to use the original ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ as a base, transforming it into a Cultivation Technique suited for yourself?"
Li Zhirui understood. He thought for a while and then seriously said, "You must realize that the current version of the ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ used by the family was modified by Da Qing. He blazed a new trail, so it is a Cultivation Technique that suits him best. Even if you change now, your combat power may not necessarily surpass Da Qing’s."
Of course, for the time being, this path is filled with uncertainties and unknown challenges.
But according to the admonitions of that mysterious Immortal whose realm is even beyond the Heavenly Immortal Realm, as long as one can walk this path smoothly, their achievements will definitely be higher than those cultivators who follow the rules meticulously.
Li Zhirui sincerely hoped that Xiaoqing could embark on such a path, so that there would be more people to accompany him on his journey of cultivation, providing mutual help and support.
Especially for cultivators from minor forces like themselves, the higher their cultivation, the more difficult the journey becomes. If there are trusted and intimate companions to walk together, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.
In fact, for cultivators from minor forces, the safest choice would be to follow the paths that have already been trodden by their predecessors, as this would ensure a high probability of having cultivators reach higher realms.
Only after acquiring strong power and a substantial foundation should they strive for higher levels.
The Li family is no exception; most members from the Void Refinement Clan choose this approach, but there are also some who are ambitious.
Among the many cultivators of the Li family at present, aside from Li Zhirui himself, there are Da Qing, Shen, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng, Li Xianxun, and others, all of whom have embarked on new paths they have carved out for themselves.
While there are a number of them, the path of seeking Dao is long and arduous, and nobody knows where they might fall. Even Li Zhirui himself does not have full confidence that he will definitely reach the Individual Immortal Realm.
Therefore, Li Zhirui did not force Xiaoqing, merely explaining the pros and cons, leaving the final decision in her own hands.
"Sigh!"
After struggling internally for a long time, a period that felt like several years, Xiaoqing exhaled a breath of murky air, her expression slowly becoming resolute as she said, "Jiu, you’re right. My vision should not be confined to merely surpassing Da Qing in strength; I should look toward a more distant future."
"Good!"
A smile appeared on Li Zhirui’s face as he said, "If you encounter any unsolvable issues, you can come to me for help."
"Alright, then I’ll take my leave." With that, Xiaoqing strode away purposefully.
Li Zhirui also headed towards the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall of the family, planning to exchange for a batch of Spirit Stones.
With his status, it was of course improper for him to appear in the main hall, so he entered through the back door directly into the room where the Elders handled affairs.
"Ancestor Rui, what can I do for you?" The Elder, seeing who had come, hurriedly rose to his feet and asked with a respectful expression.
"I need to exchange for one million lower-grade Spirit Stones." Saying this, he pushed his Identity Jade forward.
