Chapter 993: 965 Chapter: Idle_2
This was a trifle matter for him. Though he couldn’t produce a sixth-order healing pill, he could sufficiently supply the fifth-order ones.
Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, who had been standing by, could sense that their parents were secretly communicating through voice transmission, obviously keeping something from them.
"Dad, Mom, what are you discussing?" Li Chengshuo asked straightforwardly.
Regrettably, they did not plan to tell them, at least not for now.
Li Chengshuo looked frustrated but dared not eavesdrop on their conversation and could only continue to stand aside and watch helplessly.
"It’s time to return, after all, this is the territory of the Sea Clan." Li Zhirui used mana to transmit his voice to every clan member’s ears.
Speaking of which, their time in the Taoist temple hadn’t been long, probably less than half an hour.
Yet, the clan members were quite satisfied with what they had gained.
Although they didn’t obtain any Spiritual Objects, they did acquire cultivation methods of the same grade, which were quite rare and more precious than the Spiritual Objects of comparable grade.
The Scripture Pavilion contained diverse inheritances, mostly of not very high grades, but some were rare or even had been lost to time.
Those jade slips were not left by that Immortal, but over tens of thousands of years in the Primal Spirit Realm, they were randomly teleported from different places, absorbed by a unique Great Array, and stored in this room, which eventually became a Scripture Pavilion over time.
However, only Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu knew about this. Everyone else thought that the Taoist temple was part of some force that suddenly encountered a catastrophe and hurried to seal up the inheritances for preservation.
Especially since their current region, tens of thousands of years ago, possibly belonged to the Cultivation World of Ying State Myriad Island.
Regarding this misunderstanding, neither of them corrected the others but directly led them away, to avoid staying too long and risking discovery by the Sea Clan, which could complicate matters.
Fortunately, just like their journey here, they encountered no high-rank members of the Sea Clan on their way back and smoothly returned to Mount Wanxian after a month.
After disembarking the Spirit Boat, everyone went their separate ways, eager to digest the gains from this expedition.
Especially the Array Masters, whose realms had already surpassed their cultivation levels. Now that everything was settled, they finally had ample time to cultivate in peace.
Before parting, Li Zhirui took out about a dozen fifth-order top-grade healing pills and handed them to Jiang Fengwu, asking, "Is this enough?"
These pills were concocted by him on the way back, not that Li Zhirui didn’t want to make more, but because he had used up all usable Spiritual Objects in his space.
Before Li Zhirui’s return, in an effort to accelerate his cultivation speed, he had consumed a large amount of precious pills, leaving very few high-rank Spiritual Objects. It took quite some effort to gather enough for these dozen pills.
"That’s enough."
Jiang Fengwu estimated briefly and said, "I won’t be coming out of seclusion for quite some time, please take extra care of Feng Peng and the others."
Truthfully, she was unsure whether the revision of her cultivation technique would maintain her connections with Feng Peng, Dragon Carp, and Qingniao, or if their relationship would no longer be as close. Yet, after years of companionship through life and death, their bond was a connection that couldn’t easily be severed.
"Don’t worry."
Li Zhirui understood what Jiang Fengwu meant and said, "Just focus on your secluded cultivation."
However, he also didn’t have much time as he needed to not only restore his Mid Stage Refinement Void cultivation but also to break through to the Late Stage Refinement Void!
But up to now, they were all sixth-order Spiritual Beasts, with strength that spoke for itself, not truly needing much care from Li Zhirui.
Over the following period, Li Zhirui paid attention to the number of family members switching to cultivate the "Terrestrial Spirit Path Records," and also reviewed the contents of the jade slips in the Taoist temple to see if there were any methods he could use.
Interestingly, Li Zhirui found two sixth-order and one seventh-order Pill Recipes.
The sixth-order recipes were for the Bright Jade Pill and the Three Yuan Pill, the former a healing precious pill and the latter meant to strengthen the body, presumably intended for the rarer Body Cultivators, though it also works for ordinary cultivators albeit less noticeably.
The seventh-order recipe was for a very special precious pill called the Fate-evading Pill, which when consumed, could avoid divination efforts from others to track, albeit only for a month.
No matter what Precious Pill it is, Li Zhirui is currently unable to concoct it, as he lacks Spiritual Objects!
Besides this, he has gained a lot of knowledge and a deeper understanding of the Primal Spirit Realm.
One day, Li Hongshi suddenly paid a visit.
"Ancestor Rui!"
Li Zhirui helped the Clan Leader up, asking curiously, "Do you need something from me?"
"I would like to request Ancestor Rui to guide the younger generation of the clan in their cultivation, or perhaps find some time to teach them about the Way."
Li Hongshi came to visit this time because he heard that Li Zhirui had not recently retreated for cultivation and was leisurely enjoying the scenery of Mount Wanxian, which inspired this idea.
"Alright, let’s set the first teaching session for five days from now. Please take the trouble to inform everyone." As he had no plans for immediate cultivation, this was a good opportunity to observe the situation of the younger clan members personally.
"Not at all! Not at all! I’ll arrange it right away!" After bowing, he left briskly, full of enthusiasm.
When the news that Li Zhirui would be teaching in five days spread, it instantly ignited the clan. Everyone sprang into action, and some clan members even started securing places.
It is known that Li Zhirui hasn’t publicly taught in many years! Only when he had free time would he personally guide a few chosen juniors.
Even then, after arriving in the Primal Spirit Realm, the number of such juniors had been decreasing.
Thus, the clan members’ enthusiastic reaction was fiery, some even fantasizing about the wonderful prospect of being singled out by Li Zhirui for personal guidance.
These mere five days felt incredibly long and torturous for the clan members.
When Li Zhirui appeared, a massive uproar erupted from the crowd, saying, "Greetings to Ancestor Rui!"
"No need for formalities, everyone please sit and listen."
However, seeing that it was unlikely for everyone to calm down quickly, Li Zhirui had to use a spell to bring everyone to tranquility.
This time in his teaching, he did not discuss the "Myriad Spirits Scripture" or the "Terrestrial Spirit Path Records", but simply talked about cultivation.
Perhaps seeing that nearly all the clan members were present, Li Zhirui shared much more, captivating everyone’s attention. When he stopped, many felt it was not enough.
But Li Zhirui still proceeded to the next part, offering guidance.
Of course, what seemed random was not random at all; he observed the reactions of all clan members while he was teaching.
Thus, those chosen by Li Zhirui benefited greatly during the teaching session, feeling that they could achieve further advancements.
"Ancestor Rui, I am currently stuck at the Nascent Soul and can’t break through to Divine Transformation. Please guide me!" The first clan member was extremely excited, even trembling as he spoke.
Li Zhirui looked at him seriously and said, "Your foundation is not solid enough. I see you are still young, why not spend a few decades to properly polish your foundation. It will benefit your future cultivation."
"Thank you, Ancestor Rui, for your guidance!" The clan member sat back down respectfully, his eyes uncertain, evidently struggling to make a decision.
Afterwards, Li Zhirui singled out nine more clan members, solving their cultivation problems one by one, then concluded the teaching session.
Over the course of two to three months, Li Zhirui finally normalized his tense mental state which had been under constant strain.
Despite the relentless cultivation over the past century, which left no defects in his cultivation level, both his mental and physical states were under great stress.
Continuing this way would have been counterproductive, impeding his own cultivation, so he decided to take some time to resolve these issues.
Thus, he ended the schedule of teaching every five days, spoke to Li Hongshi, and asked them to inform the clan members before entering the Purification Spirit Realm to begin a period of secluded cultivation.
