Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 102 - 99 Sorcery

Li Tongya emerged from his cave mansion, to find the Huaqian Mountain in utter silence. The Lu Family had sealed numerous courtyards, detaining all the people from the Ji Family living on the mountain. The stone path was dotted with spots of blood.

After making a round through the mountain, he saw Lu Sisi descending with the bald man on a gust of wind, holding the corpse of Ji Dengqi in his hand. It seemed they had a fruitful harvest, and with a smile on his face, he said to Li Tongya,

"We were in luck. The Huazhong Mountain was in total chaos. The Ji Family only had one junior family head in the Fetal Breathing Peak, barely twenty years old, who knew to smash the heritage jade slip. Unfortunately, we crushed his skull, and out of six jade slips, we saved three."

Li Tongya nodded, remembering the bottle of nature's spiritual energy in the cave mansion, knowing it was probably something Ji Dengqi had prepared for that young family head. He said gravely,

"We'll talk about the jade slips later."

He pointed to the small courtyard between the mountains and behind him to the cave mansion, then continued,

"After all, the Wan Family had been quite extravagant in the past. I've looked around the mountain, and there are many Spiritual Fields on Huaqian Mountain, yielding over one hundred jin of Spirit Rice annually. And that Spiritual Spring is of excellent quality; even if we fold it into a third, it would amount to more than two hundred Spirit Stones. Brother Lu, can you afford that?"

Lu Sisi laughed heartily and took out twelve small flags with white patterns on black flag bodies from his Storage Bag, asking,

"Brother Li, do you recognize this item?"

Li Tongya took several cautious steps back and rose into the air, hesitantly saying,

"Formation Flags?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Sisi saw Li Tongya's guarded expression and knew he had mistakenly provoked him with his abrupt movement of taking out the Formation Flags. He quickly explained,

"These Formation Flags are the precious treasure of the Wan Family—the White Feather Purple Zizhen Flags, a favored Magic Artifact of Wan Huaqian from years gone by. Later, they were left on this Huaqian Mountain to form the Land Lock Huaqian Formation. A few years ago, they fell into the hands of the Ji Family. To say they are worth two hundred Spirit Stones is no exaggeration!"

Having been to Lijing Mountain, Lu Sisi knew that the protective array of the Li Family was pitifully simple, and having just experienced a raid by Ganixi, the whole family felt a strong sense of insecurity, needing a reliable Mountain Protection Array. Such words were aimed precisely at Li Tongya's soft spot.

"The White Feather Purple Zizhen Flags are merely Qi Cultivation-level Formation Flags, and no matter how miraculous, they are barely worth a hundred Spirit Stones. You overpraise them," Li Tongya said with a dismissive shake of his head, finding the suggestion extremely tempting, yet spending two hundred Spirit Stones on a set of Formation Flags seemed excessively extravagant.

"In that case, I'll add another fifty Spirit Stones!"

Lu Sisi took out another fifty Spirit Stones from his brocade pouch and handed them to Li Tongya, saying earnestly,

"I'm being quite generous now. Young friend, you've already gained something from the cave mansion; this journey has not been in vain!"

Li Tongya pondered for a moment, discreetly pocketing what was in his hand, and to give Lu Sisi some face, he replied,

"The Lu and Li families will be neighbors from now on; there's no need to quibble over the details."

"Correct."

Lu Sisi also handed over the three jade slips to Li Tongya, with an even broader smile on his face, and said softly,

"We have already copied these jade slips. Here are the original spells for you to take."

Li Tongya knew Lu Sisi was hinting that he wasn't presenting doctored or copied techniques to trick him. After receiving the jade slips and meticulously checking them with his Spiritual Sense, he nodded and laughed,

"Elder Lu is truly generous and kind, and Tongya admires that. I'll take my leave now."

After saying so, he nodded to the bald man and soared away with the wind, not looking back.

Watching Li Tongya depart, the bald man bowed and said,

"Brother Lu, now that this matter is settled, Huazhong Mountain will belong to my family. The Yu Family to the north is powerful; we hope for your continued support in the future."

"Take care, Brother An."

Lu Sisi nodded slightly, watching the man rise on the wind. Only then did he turn and enter his cave mansion, looking at the crystal-clear Spiritual Spring and letting out a breath of relief, his face full of joy:

"Finally, we've got this Spiritual Spring. The Cave Spring Che Qi is taken care of; our descendants won't have to train with those common First Grade materials anymore!"

Lijing Mountain.

As soon as Li Tongya landed, he saw Li Xuanxuan pacing anxiously. Upon seeing Li Tongya, he let out a sigh of relief and respectfully said,

"Uncle!"

Li Tongya nodded with a smile, took out the long staff, and tossed it into Li Xuanxuan's hands, saying warmly,

"See if it feels right in your hand."

Li Xuanxuan didn't have a Magic Artifact yet, and his eyes lit up at the sight of the staff. After examining it for a while, although it was just a Fetal Breathing-level Magic Artifact, it was nonetheless a decent acquisition for the Li Family, since even Li Tongya was still using a Fetal Breathing-level longsword.

Looking over what remained in that Ji Family Qi Cultivator's Storage Bag, which was a mere two square feet in size and mostly filled with miscellaneous items and a couple of Spirit Stones, alongside Talismans and Elixirs of Fetal Breathing level,

"Leave it for Xuanfeng." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Since Li Xuanfeng, at the Fifth Layer Fetal Breathing, was already capable of using a Storage Bag, Li Tongya returned his own Storage Bag and kept this one for Li Xuanfeng.

"A top-tier Qi Cultivation-level array of Formation Flags."

Li Tongya summoned the twelve White Feather Purple Zizhen Flags, admiring them for a while before storing them away. He then took out the three jade slips.

Li Tongya took out the first jade slip, sending his Spiritual Sense into it.

Golden Radiance Technique

This technique was seemingly a legacy of the Ji Family, probably brought back by that Ji family girl, a Third Grade Orthodox Law on par with the family's River Qi Decision, based on the Metal Stone Sharp Qi emanating from the outer and inner areas of gold and jade mines.

"Yue Country only has one large gold and jade mine, and it sits right atop the Tang Jin Sect's mountain gate. That Metal Stone Sharp Qi also all flows from the Tang Jin Sect."

Li Tongya brought out that Jade Bottle from the cave mansion, sweeping it with his Spiritual Sense:

"Brilliance flickers and sharpness rivals a blade edge. It's that Metal Stone Sharp Qi."
