Chapter 963: Chapter 950: Powerful_2
After returning to her Cave Mansion, she took out the main culprit that had caused her severe injuries and almost led to her demise but also brought fortune, allowing her to break through to the Void Refinement stage—several Sixth-order Taiyin Cold Toad eggs!
Li Chengshuo naturally could not form a contract with all of them, he could only pick the most powerful egg and patiently nurture it.
The rest were left at the family estate, contributing to the increase in the Li family’s Spirit Beast population.
"Next, my goal is to enhance my cultivation as much as possible, while also helping Yue and Howling Moon break through to the sixth order."
Li Chengshuo set a grand goal for himself.
It is known that Li Zhirui, despite achieving breakthroughs over two hundred years, had Spirit Beasts contracted to him that had not broken through to the sixth order, showing that even with the aid of the "Myriad Spirits Scripture," reaching the sixth order was a significant obstacle.
In the mountains, time passes without aging, and not knowing the years when the cold ends.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
And Mount Wanxian, which had been quiet for over a decade, became lively once again due to a Thunder Tribulation!
This time the person breaking through was Jiang Fengwu!
Logically, she should have broken through earlier since she had already overcome the bottleneck when she returned to Mount Wanxian; it’s unknown why Jiang Fengwu delayed for so long.
Under the gaze of her clan members, Jiang Fengwu used the peak of the Void Array Skill to easily transcend the Thunder Tribulation, evoking envy from everyone.
They wondered if they could handle the tribulation as effortlessly as Jiang Fengwu if they mastered Void Formation.
As for that, they could only be daydreaming!
It’s unknown how many Array Masters of Void Refinement and Integration Realms could proficiently master Void Formation, even Li Chengshuo was still learning it.
How could this group, who were neither professional Array Masters nor high enough in cultivation, possibly learn it?
If, by some chance, a clan member did accomplish it, he would receive the family’s full support in cultivation because his natural talent in Array Tao might even be more terrifying than Jiang Fengwu’s.
Meanwhile, external forces, given that the Li family had produced two Lianxu Cultivators within twenty years, paid even more attention to the Li family and deployed even more undercover agents to gather information.
After all, the speed of the Li family’s strength growth was truly alarming.
As usual, when Jiang Fengwu came to see Li Zhirui, he gave her two Jade Slips, one filled with his cultivation insights and the other with Li Chengshuo’s, all for her to bring back for reference.
However, unexpectedly, Jiang Fengwu said something that surprised Li Zhirui.
"I plan to continue experiencing the outside world."
Li Zhirui asked somewhat puzzled, "You’ve just consolidated your realm, and neither Feng Peng nor Dragon Carp have broken through yet, why are you thinking of going out for experience?"
"A premonition from the universe, as if something is waiting for me."
Hearing this, Li Zhirui’s eyebrows slightly raised. With words to that extent, he couldn’t possibly stop her now, as this could very well be a monumental opportunity for Jiang Fengwu!
So, all he could do was help prepare various Spiritual Objects to maximize Jiang Fengwu’s safety as much as possible.
Half a month later, Jiang Fengwu left Mount Wanxian alone, leaving the three Spirit Beasts she had contracted in the care of Li Zhirui.
And Li Zhirui didn’t have time to reflect on the past or future because, after many years of contemplating, he was finally ready to start concocting a Sixth-order Nourishing Treasure Pill.
If successful, the Li family would gain a Sixth-order Treasure Pill, and the Void Refining Clan People would have suitable cultivation resources!
For this, Li Zhirui even burned incense and bathed specially, showing how much he valued this.
"Sunward Grass, Hiding Yin Root..."
One precious Spiritual Object after another, after being refined and impurities removed, was controlled by Li Zhirui to enter the Pill Furnace, merging with the previous medicinal liquid.
The medicine’s effect would emerge during this process, so this was a crucial step!
Even though Li Zhirui was an Alchemy Master who had concocted hundreds of thousands of pills, even though there were still dozens of materials to use, he remained extremely nervous.
Bang!
Despite his utmost care and attention, he couldn’t prevent the medicinal liquids from conflicting. Before Li Zhirui could even add all the Spiritual Medicine, the Pill Furnace emitted a dull thud, followed by billowing black smoke drifting out.
With a calm demeanor, Li Zhirui cleaned the Pill Furnace and sat beside it to recuperate and restore his energy.
Two hours later, he stood up once more.
But the ultimate result was still failure, not just once, but in a mere five days, numerous Spirit Stones used to nurture Spiritual Objects were almost entirely consumed.
"Only the last two complete batches of materials remain."
Li Zhirui looked down at the two Spirit Sealing Boxes beside him, rested for a day to gather his energy, and then started the alchemy process.
Refining, merging, controlling, solidifying, dividing the pills, and retrieving them from the furnace. He put his utmost effort into making each step perfect, and fortunately, his efforts did not betray him.
Finally, he succeeded in creating two Yang-Nourishing Pills!
Though the quantity was scarce and the grade of the Precious Pills was very poor, a successful refinement was still a success!
Is the quantity scarce? With more productions of Precious Pills in the future, he could improve the success rate of the pills.
Is the quality poor? Li Zhirui could use the Purification Principle to remove impurities, thereby achieving an enhancement in grade.
He took advantage of the momentum and refined the last batch of materials, slightly increasing the success rate to three Precious Pills, though their quality was still very poor.
"A Sixth-order Alchemist truly isn’t something an ordinary power can cultivate!" Li Zhirui suddenly exclaimed.
Without the Mysterious Space, from obtaining the Spirit Seed and planting it to harvesting the mature Spiritual Objects, it would take hundreds of years!
Even if planted in a High Rank Spiritual Vein and attentively cared for by a High Rank Spiritual Plant Cultivator, the maturation of Spiritual Objects is still measured in centuries.
And initially having only one Spirit Seed, to expand the scale and have enough Alchemy Materials, he would again need to wait centuries.
Even for a Void Refining Cultivator with a long lifespan, it isn’t viable to just wait aimlessly, wanting to refine Sixth-order Precious Pills swiftly, there was only one route left, that was to purchase Spiritual Objects at a high price.
In this way, the cost incurred would be astronomical! Ordinary Sixth-order powers simply couldn’t afford it.
But back to the topic!
Li Zhirui stored the five Yang-Nourishing Pills in a Jade Vial, planning to purify the impurities in the Precious Pills after taking a short rest.
Moments later, he formed a mantra with both hands, and the surrounding Purification Principles swarmed toward him and entered the five Precious Pills inside the Jade Vial.
The Purification Principle and those impurities fought like two opposing forces on the battlefield, igniting an intense battle inside the Precious Pills!
With Li Zhirui’s continuous enhancement, the Purification Principle emerged entirely victorious, successfully purifying all the impurities and elevating the originally Inferior Quality Precious Pills to Top-Tier!
"Let me see what this Top-Tier Precious Pill can do."
Li Zhirui couldn’t wait to experience the effects of the Yang-Nourishing Pill immediately. He took out a Precious Pill and consumed it. The pill dissolved upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm current that entered his Sea of Consciousness and lastly acted upon his Spiritual Soul.
Several days later, he fully refined the Yang-Nourishing Pill.
And after comparison, the transformation of the Spiritual Soul post-pill consumption was twice as fast as regular cultivation!
With such an immense improvement, how could Li Zhirui possibly forsake it? Therefore, he exchanged a large amount of Spirit Stones from his family to stimulate the growth of Spiritual Objects.
Regrettably, the family could not allow him to exchange Spirit Stones indefinitely, as they are needed in many places, such as enhancing the Spiritual Vein Grade, monthly stipends for the clansmen, purchasing various Spiritual Objects, and so forth.
Thus, Li Zhirui had to find other means to earn Spirit Stones.
Of course, he didn’t need to do it himself; his family’s help would suffice.
In the current Southeastern Mountains, no power dared to offend the Li family anymore!
And this was the benefit brought by strength.
If not for ample strength, how could the Li family possibly deter the surrounding powers with just a clan emblem?
Over the next thirty years, the striking performance of the Li family attracted the attention of all forces in the mountains.
During these thirty years, Cang, Xiaoqing, and Da Qing successively underwent their breakthroughs.
And due to their breakthroughs, the massive Mana feedback also pushed Li Zhirui into the Middle Stage of Void Refinement.
Although the Li family currently only had six Void Refiners, they had truly become the overlord of the Southeastern Mountains, so soon, discerning powers visited to pledge allegiance to the Li family as their Sect Master.
