Chapter 81: A Foundation Establishment Ancestor? Quickly write this down!
"A second-tier alchemist, such a person would be highly sought after even in the Azure Flame Immortal Sect!" Liu Yuelong said in a low voice. A second-tier alchemist can already refine the pills that Foundation Establishment cultivators usually take, and can even refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
Each one is a treasure.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenzheng gasped. Although he had never seen a second-tier alchemist, he was still quite impressed.
He never even dared to dream of becoming such a big shot.
"A second-tier alchemist can enter the central area of the lake and choose an island!" Yang Jiuli narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
During the second stage of alchemy, anyone who produces one will be sought after by major Foundation Establishment forces.
Even becoming a Foundation Establishment Immortal is a great achievement.
Yang Jiuli, however, did not take this seriously.
If he truly becomes a second-tier alchemist and his identity is exposed prematurely, he might have to refine pills for the Li family for the rest of his life, unable to be free.
Without sufficient cultivation, even if he possessed this skill, he would not have revealed it prematurely.
In the previous life, quite a few talented alchemists and talisman makers were captured and forced to refine pills and draw talismans.
He possesses unparalleled talent and is expected to reach the Great Dao.
However, under such oppression, one's cultivation cannot progress at all.
In the end, they all had to end in disappointment.
Only geniuses from powerful families, protected by their clans, can go far in life.
With a thought, Yang Jiuli's gaze swept across the many islands in the inner lake.
"That is..." Suddenly, his gaze shifted, and he sensed a slight chill by the inner lake.
At that moment, Yang Jiuli's gaze shifted and locked onto that spot.
But there was an island there, shrouded in a chilling aura.
There is a towering mountain on the island, with snow still on its top.
This contrasts sharply with the volcanic peaks in the central area of the lake.
One is in the center of the inner lake, and the other is in the central area of the lake.
"This is Cold Dew Island... it possesses a second-tier, low-grade cold vein... it's a forbidden area of my Li family!" Seeing Yang Jiuli looking at the island, Li Feiyu explained with a smile, "If you ever come to the Inner Lake in the future, never go to Cold Dew Island!"
"Oh? Forbidden area?" Yang Jiuli looked at Li Feiyu with slight surprise.
Lu Wenzheng and Liu Yuelong also looked over.
"Haha, it's nothing. This place is the final resting place for my Li clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor after his passing," Li Feiyu laughed. "Normally, except for ancestral worship, this Cold Dew Island is off-limits to visitors."
"The blessed land of the Li family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor?" Yang Jiuli's eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but take another look at the island shrouded in cold mist.
It is said to be a place of great fortune.
It is actually a burial ground.
"Foundation Establishment Ancestors..." Yang Jiuli murmured to himself, "I wonder how many ancestors the Li family has? And whether their physical bodies are intact?"
A thought flashed through his mind.
If the "past life talisman" were planted in the bodies of these deceased ancestors of the Li family, they would have no fear of unexpected changes within the Li family!
"As expected of a Foundation Establishment Immortal, their clan actually used a second-tier spirit island as the ancestral land of eternal blessing!" Lu Wenzheng was filled with shock.
Second-tier spirit island.
Many people yearn for it but cannot obtain it.
However, the Li family abandoned it.
It's truly remarkable how different people are.
"These Foundation Establishment ancestors helped my Li clan expand its territory. As their descendants, we should naturally show them such respect," Li Feiyu said with a smile.
"It is truly remarkable that the Li family has been able to survive for hundreds of years!"
Finally, he also expressed his deep feelings.
Just yesterday, the Li family encountered a crisis.
If it weren't for the 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow' bestowed by the ancestor, I don't know how things would have ended.
Therefore, he held these ancestors in high esteem.
"The ancestor of the Li family is indeed awe-inspiring!" Yang Jiuli said.
"That was... more than six hundred years ago, my ancestor Li Fengyue rose from a second-rate family with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator... After countless hardships, he finally established his foundation in Yunmeng Lake..." Li Feiyu began to ramble on when mentioning his ancestor.
He was passionate and quite excited.
"Senior Feng Yue is truly a legendary figure!" Lu Wenzheng exclaimed repeatedly, filled with admiration as he listened to the exciting parts of the story.
"Yes, our ancestor was exceptionally talented, but unfortunately Yunmeng Lake was too small, which limited him and caused him to fail in forming his core, ultimately leading to his death."
Li Feiyu sighed deeply.
The highest spiritual vein in Yunmeng Lake is only a second-grade superior vein, which is far from sufficient to support a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's Core Formation.
As for forming the Golden Core outside...
Third-tier spiritual veins are not so easy to find.
Renting a third-tier cave dwelling in the Immortal City will also cost a lot of spirit stones.
Furthermore, the formation of the core requires a large amount of spiritual herbs, which is beyond the reach of ordinary clans.
"Li Fengyue... late stage of Foundation Establishment perfected..." Yang Jiuli secretly memorized this name.
"Besides Ancestor Fengyue, my Li family has also produced several other powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators..." Li Feiyu said eloquently.
He was filled with awe for his own country's heroes.
Now that I have the opportunity, I can't help but share it.
"Li Menghu...the restorer of the Li family...the foundation building is complete!" Then Yang Jiuli remembered another ancestor of the Li family.
"He passed away eighty years ago...and there's a cold pulse...it seems his vital energy and blood are still there," Yang Jiuli murmured.
This is a person who passed away eighty years ago.
Although he failed to achieve the Golden Core stage in his later years, he made an important decision: to send some of the clan's geniuses to the Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
He hoped to use the third-tier spiritual vein of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect to achieve the Core Formation.
The current patriarch of the Li family, Li Hongtai, was sent to the Azure Flame Immortal Sect at the suggestion of Li Menghu.
Now, with the prospect of forming the Golden Core stage, the Li family's prestige has reached its peak.
As they spoke, they had already entered the inner lake area and could see the center of the lake.
In the distance, the group could see Earth Flame Island and the surrounding islands that guarded it.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Jiuli and the others were taken to a side hall of a mansion by the Earth Flame Lake.
Inside the hall, the patriarch Li Ruoyu sat in the main seat.
The Third Elder, Li Changyan, and the steward, Li Wannian, both took their seats in the hall.
"Master, the Immortal Seedling has arrived!" Li Feiyu led everyone into the hall and then bowed in greeting.
As the four entered the hall, they felt a powerful pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage, making their breathing heavy.
Li Feiyu gestured for everyone to bow.
"Greetings, Patriarch, and all the immortals!" Lu Wenzheng and Huang Cheng bowed slightly, barely daring to breathe.
Yang Jiuli and Liu Yuelong also bowed.
"Very good, now that you've come to my Li family, you're all one of us. No need for formalities!" Li Ruoyu gestured for everyone to stand up straight.
His voice was kind, like that of a friendly old man next door, bringing peace to people's hearts.
"This Patriarch Li is quite amiable!" Hearing this voice, Lu Wenzheng looked up at Li Ruoyu, no longer feeling intimidated.
Huang Cheng, Yang Jiuli, and Liu Yuelong looked up.
"I suppose you must be Yang Jiuli, the genius who slew the bandits for my Li family, young friend Yang?" Li Ruoyu looked at Yang Jiuli, stroking his short beard, his eyes smiling, looking as kind as an elder, no longer possessing the imposing aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"It is indeed you, young man!" Yang Jiuli said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Very good, you are bold and decisive. My Li family needs talents like you!" Li Ruoyu said. "Although you are a bit old, in my Li family, rewards and punishments are clear. We will never bury or mistreat any talent. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get everything you want."
As he spoke, he slightly extended his hand.
A maidservant approached Yang Jiuli, carrying a jade plate.
Yang Jiuli looked at the jade plate, on which was a waist tag with the character "甲" (jia) and the number "一" (yi).
"This will be your training ground from now on!" Li Ruoyu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Patriarch!" Yang Jiuli accepted the waist token.
"This No. 1 courtyard has a separate cultivation room, which is equipped with a first-grade low-level spirit gathering array!" Li Feiyu whispered.
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Yang Jiuli was overjoyed.
With the aid of the Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual energy will increase exponentially, and his cultivation speed will also increase.
"Spirit Gathering Array..." Liu Yuelong said enviously from the side.
Lu Wenzheng and Huang Cheng, though puzzled, were filled with admiration.
"Three days from now, an alchemist from my Li family will teach you the art of alchemy..." Li Ruoyu continued.
"If you become a first-tier low-grade alchemist, you will receive a share of the profits from the sale of pills..."
"When your contributions to the family are significant enough, the Li family will gather foundation-building spiritual materials for you... and even foundation-building pills..." Li Ruoyu spoke eloquently, promising everyone various benefits and painting a rosy picture of the future.
Revenue sharing:
Breakthrough Pill:
Foundation Building Spiritual Object:
Even Core Formation Spiritual Objects...
Every word they uttered ignited the passion of Liu Yuelong and the others, making them eager to become high-level alchemists immediately.
"Foundation Building Pill? To obtain such a pill, one must at least become a second-tier alchemist!" Yang Jiuli murmured.
"So you really are a second-tier alchemist? Do you still need Foundation Establishment Pills?"
He smiled calmly to himself.
I saw through some of the wordplay.
of course.
For Liu Yuelong, Lu Wenzheng, and others, however, it was an opportunity to transcend social classes.
Li Ruoyu said a lot, then formally signed the contract with everyone, and invited them to a meal before the matter came to an end.
At dusk, the four were led to a small island in the outer lake.
Only then did they learn that the island was called Golden Cloud Island.
There is a sacred pool on the island, about 100 meters in diameter.
As the sun sets, golden light shines through the pond, making the clouds and mist around the island appear to be tinged with gold, hence the name Golden Cloud Island.
Yang Jiuli's villa, No. 1, Jiazi, is located halfway up a mountain called Jinyun Peak on a small island.
The villa is exquisite and also has a small, low-grade first-order array to prevent outsiders from spying on it.
Liu Yuelong, Lu Wenzheng, and Huang Cheng stayed at a villa at the foot of the mountain.
These villas not only lack protective formations, but also lack spiritual pools, making them appear quite rudimentary in comparison.
Yang Jiuli arrived at his cultivation room and sat cross-legged on a jade plate that was nine feet wide.
This is the location of the central hub of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Activating the formation can gather the surrounding spiritual energy and increase the speed at which spiritual energy is drawn in.
"The benefits promised by Patriarch Li are indeed extremely tempting, but whether they can be fulfilled remains to be seen!"
Yang Jiuli whispered.
It seems that everything is going smoothly for the Li family.
However, this promise was not written into the contract like the profit-sharing of pills, so it obviously did not have the effect of a contract.
No matter how big the pie is, the key is whether you can actually get your hands on it.
Of course, Yang Jiuli didn't really care.
His goal was simple: the spiritual veins.
"Spiritual energy concentration level 1.7..." Yang Jiuli first tested the spiritual energy concentration level.
To everyone's surprise, the spiritual energy on the mountainside of Jinyun Peak on the island was even more concentrated than that below.
"It seems that the eye of the spiritual vein is located on this mountainside..." Yang Jiuli murmured.
"Let's see how much the spiritual energy here can help repair my spiritual roots overnight!" With that thought, Yang Jiuli began to cultivate.
……
The following day, the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, was sunny.
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jiuli stopped cultivating and looked inward at the data next to the Three Lives Stone.
Spiritual Root: Superior Spiritual Root. (Damaged, under repair (5030/10000) Can be cultivated.)
"Not bad, the repair speed is twice as fast as before. No wonder it's a near-second-tier spirit vein!"
Yang Jiuli was fairly satisfied with the result.
This is only in the outer lake area.
If he becomes an alchemist and obtains a better cultivation residence, the repair speed of his spiritual root will be increased again.
For three consecutive days, nothing happened.
Yang Jiuli has been diligently cultivating.
During the day, he cultivates the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique," and at night, he uses the Three Lives Stone to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to generate the Qi of Three Lives to repair his spiritual root.
