Chapter 831: Chapter 837: Development
Multicolored Spirit Mist gradually dissipated, merging into the earth near the Spirit Vein, and the Spiritual Objects planted therein grew at a visible rate, as if they had consumed a great tonic.
Furthermore, the land transformed into Low Rank Spirit Soil, and the rivers and lakes originating from these Territories became Spirit Water.
But the most significant changes occurred on Mount Wanxian!
The entire mountain grew more majestic and towering, its height also increased, and it became cloaked in a thin layer of Spirit Mist, giving it an almost dreamy appearance.
Not only that, the upgrade of Mount Wanxian’s Spirit Vein also stimulated the other Spirit Veins on the island. Although it did not cause them to upgrade, it did improve them by a small grade, such as from a Third Order Inferior Quality Spirit Vein to a Third Order Medium Quality Spirit Vein.
But everyone had yet to come back to their senses and had not noticed this change.
"Is this what a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein is like?" Li Mingzi, standing in midair, could feel the dense Spiritual Energy around him.
"From now on, the Li family also possesses a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein!"
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, overjoyed, with the entire Wanxian Island immersed in a sea of happiness.
"With a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein, the speed of cultivation for our clan members will surely increase further! We will nurture more and more Golden Core and Nascent Soul members!" an Elder said, brimming with enthusiasm.
Another Elder said self-mockingly, with a chuckle, "Maybe it won’t be long before the position under our old butts truly does become Nascent Soul Realm."
He was already advanced in years, wouldn’t be an Elder for much longer, and was going to retire, so he wasn’t concerned about who would succeed him.
Li Mingzi calmed down from his joy and said, "Now that the Spirit Vein has successfully upgraded, next year’s family budget must be re-evaluated."
With that single sentence, the joy in the Elder’s hearts was instantly extinguished.
This was an incredibly complex and numerous task. They had spent several days discussing it previously, and now they had to completely overturn it and start over.
For a moment, many Elders wished the Spirit Vein had upgraded sooner or later—why did it have to coincide with this moment?
Li Zhirui, cultivating in the Spirit Realm, was startled by the sudden surge of Spiritual Energy, which was continuous and rich.
Li Zhirui immediately thought of the Spirit Vein upgrading, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he knew his guess was correct.
"After all these years and consuming countless Spirit Stones, we’ve finally succeeded!"
Although the family’s Spiritual Energy didn’t matter much to Li Zhirui, a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein could enhance the Spiritual Energy of Wanxian Island, benefiting the cultivation of all family members.
"I wonder how Fengwu, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang are doing now."
However, all four of them were in seclusion, and Li Zhirui couldn’t disturb them, so he wasn’t too familiar with the recent situation.
Over the past few years, Jiang Fengwu had been adjusting his state to ensure perfection before truly attempting Divine Union with Heaven and Earth and looking for Laws that fit him.
But it was not easy to achieve.
Although this painstaking attitude was good for completing the first step, the downside was that it took considerable time.
Da Qing, in his Cave Mansion, continued to advance his bloodline evolution. He had fully digested the Luminous Green Fruit given by Li Zhirui and was now in a critical breakthrough period!
Suddenly, Da Qing’s Cave Mansion erupted with a whale-like engulfing force, drawing in all nearby Spiritual Energy before swallowing it.
Had another surprise occurred so soon after the family’s Spiritual Vein had just upgraded?
The commotion attracted many family members to spectate.
Upon arriving, most of the family members realized what was happening.
"A fifth rank Spirit Beast, eh! I wonder if I could possess a Fourth Order Spirit Beast."
"Stop dreaming, the two Spirit Beasts of our Ancestor Rui were enhanced with costly Spiritual Objects—it’s better to consider a Fourth Order Spirit Beast Egg."
In fact, the Li family had already been very good to the family members, distributing a Third-Grade Dragon Beast Egg or another Third-Grade Spirit Beast Egg to every clan member.
Roar!
While people chattered and waited, a vast roar pierced the sky, spreading far off into the distance and audible for miles around.
Following that was the appearance of Da Qing, who had successfully evolved his bloodline, now brimming with even more confidence than before.
Da Qing went to congratulate Li Zhirui and make preparations for the upcoming seclusion and his Divine Transformation breakthrough.
"Now that your bloodline has also been elevated, there really is no flaw—you should indeed try for a Divine Transformation," Li Zhirui was also looking forward to the day of Da Qing’s breakthrough.
Because once Da Qing broke through, he could provide Li Zhirui with a substantial amount of Mana, compensating for the deficiency in Mana over the years.
Apart from verbal encouragement, physical support was naturally essential!
Li Zhirui gave Da Qing several bottles of top-grade Rejuvenating Treasure Pills and a large amount of the enhanced Thunder Vine Spirit Seeds, all to increase the success rate of Da Qing’s Tribulation Transcendence.
After giving some advice to Da Qing, he left the Spirit Realm full of zest.
"In a few years, we might see a Fifth-Order Da Qing!" Li Zhirui said quietly with a smile, watching him leave.
Thanks to Da Qing’s hundreds of years of accumulation, the speed of breaking through to the fifth rank wouldn’t be slow. Previously, he was influenced by his bloodline, but now that deficiency had been filled, his cultivation would naturally progress leaps and bounds.
Da Qing didn’t need Li Zhirui’s concern for the time being, but for Xiaoqing and Cang, who had yet to send word, it might still take some years.
Meanwhile, the usually active and impatient Xiaoqing had been earnestly cultivating on Wanxian Island for years, a stark difference from his previous image.
It was just unfortunate that, unlike Da Qing’s extensive accumulation over the past few hundred years, Xiaoqing had some issues to resolve; otherwise, he wouldn’t still be honing his Mana but would have already been striving for a Divine Transformation!
This taught Xiaoqing a profound lesson.
To Li Zhirui, this might not be a bad thing.
No matter how many times he emphasized the importance of a solid foundation, Xiaoqing never truly took it to heart, but this lesson surely would lead to a course correction.
As for Cang, Li Zhirui wasn’t entirely clear on what he was currently doing.
With his cultivation level, he still needed more time to practice before qualifying for Divine Transformation, so there was no need for an extended seclusion.
At present, Cang was engaged in a big endeavor that could potentially close the gap between him and Da Qing and Xiaoqing in cultivation!
On a previous excursion to the Boundless Sea, they had accidentally obtained a Fifth-Order Dragon Beast Egg, which Cang was now refining bit by bit. He planned to extract Dragon Blood from the not fully petrified Dragon Egg to further enhance his bloodline!
