Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 197 - 128: Bountiful Harvest!_2
Chapter 197: Chapter 128: Bountiful Harvest!_2
Lu Li smiled and nodded.
“You all may disperse, this island has been overthrown by the Flowers Sect.”
“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for lending a hand.”
Two middle-aged Foundation Establishment Cultivators wore grateful expressions,
Bowing repeatedly with clasped hands.
“We are Artifact Refiners by trade, captured by those Demon Cultivators to craft large Puppets; several of our comrades have already been killed for refusing to cooperate…”
Lu Li’s gaze flickered, “Do the two fellow Daoists have any knowledge of other strongholds? What is the purpose behind these Demon Cultivators’ extensive production of Puppets?”
“Since a few years ago, we have been captured and brought here; we have not been to other strongholds, and each time after completing the crafting, those Artifacts would be taken away by a Purple Mansion True Person…”
Lu Li nodded, his expression growing somewhat solemn—It seemed the Demon Cultivators harbored no small ambitions.
Afterwards, they exchanged a few more words before going their separate ways.
Lu Li swiftly traversed through the passage, returning the way he came, and emerged outside the great hall.
With his Divine Skills flashing, he transformed into a streak of blue tunneling light, heading toward the distant space between sea and sky.
In the blink of an eye, he reached a spot above the sea and then quietly waited.
Less than half an hour later,
A blazing red tunneling light closed in on the island at high speed; its astonishing momentum reached Lu Li before the figure did, causing his body to tense.
Soon, the tunneling light arrived upon the sea surface in front of Lu Li, revealing a beautiful woman with a comely face.
She still emanated strands of a fierce aura of slaughter.
It was the Purple Mansion True Person Wang Linyu who had returned.
“Mr. Lu, have you investigated this place for any discoveries?”
Wang Linyu smiled gently, a refreshing sight.
With an expression of great respect, Lu Li recounted the situation he had discovered underground to her.
After hearing Lu Li’s response, Wang Linyu’s expression turned somewhat solemn.
“I will report this to the Sect,” she said, “This time I was fortunate to slay the adversary directly—earning a substantial amount of contribution points. It’s partly thanks to you. Should any issues arise in the future, feel free to contact me directly.”
She looked at Lu Li with a smiling face.

Then, she produced a Communication Jade Token and handed it over.
“It was due to the senior’s extraordinary strength that the adversary was slain; the junior dares not claim any credit.”
Lu Li humbly accepted the Jade Token.
Despite his close ties to Liu Luoxin, he couldn’t be presumptuous in front of a Purple Mansion True Person from the Flowers Sect.
A proper respect for the powerful was a principle he had always upheld in his conduct.
“Mr. Lu will likely become a Purple Mansion True Person very soon. We’ll be peers then, so no need for excessive courtesy.”
Wang Linyu was full of goodwill.
For this “honored guest” within the Sect, she did not display the airs typical of a Purple Mansion True Person, a treatment not likely afforded to other cultivators.
Afterwards, the two conversed for a moment before parting ways.
Lu Li turned and flew toward Mystic Moon Island.
He spurred his Divine Power Technique to its full capacity, wrapping himself in a bright blue glow. With each flash, he covered a distance of over ten miles, causing the surrounding sea mist to churn wildly; soon he disappeared in the nearby waters.
…
Outside Mystic Moon Island.
A streak of blue tunneling light darted toward the island.
In an instant, the light traversed the layered hills and forests outside the island, heading toward a courtyard on the mountainside.
At the island’s edge, a group of cultivators sensed a familiar aura, all wearing expressions of reverence.
Especially in recent years, many young cultivators from the families viewed the elder as a role model.
Before long,
Lu Li arrived at the mountainside courtyard.
Stepping over the threshold, he found both of his parents resting in the yard.
“Li’er has arrived.”
Ye Yuchan smiled slightly, rising to her feet and walking over.
Lu Li grinned enigmatically, “Today, your son has come to leave an item in mother’s care.”
Without wasting words, he stated his purpose directly.
At these words, both of Ye Yuchan’s parents wore surprised expressions, curiosity sparked in their hearts.
Seeing their son’s solemnity made them quite curious.
Lu Li chuckled and promptly brought out a large Puppet.
The several-zhang-tall spirit wood body gleamed brilliantly under the sun’s rays,
Its two massive arms formidable and dragon-like, appearing quite imposing.
“This… is a Foundation Establishment Puppet?”
Ye Yuchan and her spouse were astounded.
They approached and began fondling it, the cool sensation under their fingertips leaving them both amazed.
“This Puppet shall be entrusted to mother for safekeeping, to guard our family in the shadows,”
Lu Li said with a smile.
“There’s another one for Xue Er, to preside over the family as well.”
Hearing there was yet another Puppet, Ye Yuchan and her spouse were shocked.
This item is extremely precious, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and for small families, it’s considered a strategic treasure.
“Xue Er has a good temperament and is well suited for this puppet, when will you give her the title of Daoist couple…”
Ye Yuchan smiled.
In her heart, she indeed had high regard for Zhuang Guxue.
“We’ll talk about this matter later.”
Lu Li’s expression was somewhat unusual.
Hearing her son’s reply, Ye Yuchan looked suspicious.
“I heard you are related to Venerable Liu of the Flowers Sect? How come I’m not aware of this? Even the nearby seas are whispering about it.”
Lu Li sheepishly smiled, “These are all rumors, not to be taken seriously.”
“I have some things to take care of, so I’ll head back first…”
Having said that, he quickly flew back to his own cave.
In a few breaths, he had disappeared from the courtyard.
Ye Yuchan and the others looked at each other with weird expressions.
Not long after, Lu Li arrived outside his own cave.
After deactivating the Array, he walked straight in.
He saw Zhuang Guxue sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, practicing Qi Refinement.
Seeing Lu Li return, Zhuang Guxue smiled warmly.
“Husband, you’re back, did you gain anything from the trip?”
Lu Li nodded with a smile and told her some of the incidents that happened on Thousand Leaf Island.
Then he took out a large puppet and placed it in the center of the hall.
“I’ll entrust this item to you for safekeeping, to guard the family in the future.”
Zhuang Guxue, seeing the sudden appearance of the puppet, was astonished.
“Is this a Foundation Establishment Puppet? Husband, you are really lucky.”
“I will certainly take good care of it.”
Her face showed gratitude upon hearing that Lu Li would entrust it to her for safekeeping.
…
The following days were quite peaceful.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
The matter of remnants of Zoroastrianism lurking on Thousand Leaf Island also started to spread around the neighboring seas.
The fact that the Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator was slain by Wang Linyu of the Flowers Sect immediately caused a huge stir.
At the same time, the news that Lu Li had emerged unscathed from an encounter with a Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator instantly shocked an area spanning thousands of miles of sea.
Countless cultivators began to discuss fervently as Heavenly Pavilion officially placed Lu Li on the Heavenly Ranking List, at the tenth rank for lack of other merits.
Some individuals with ulterior motives, upon hearing of the deep connection between Lu Li and Venerable Liu of the Flowers Sect, also extinguished their ill-intentions.
As the overlord of this sea area, the deterrent force of the Flowers Sect was truly astonishing.
Even Zoroastrianism had to stay hidden and dared not show itself.
Dual Cloud Island, the Zhuang Family residence.
Ever since a group of people arrived in this sea area, they named the two Twin Islands as Dual Cloud Island.
“Are you saying that Xue Er’s husband is now listed among the powerhouses of the Heavenly Ranking List?”
“Indeed, this news has been circulating hotly, and furthermore, Xue Er’s husband also has a deep background in the Flowers Sect…”
Zhuang Lintian was shocked to hear this.
He hadn’t expected that the husband his daughter had chosen possessed such strength.
His heart couldn’t help but swell with excitement.
If the Lu Family were to ascend to the Purple Mansion Family in the future, even if they were just following and benefiting from it, the advantages would be astonishing.
Both were so excited their faces flushed with anticipation.
Mystic Moon Island, the west dock.
A group of Lu Family members was excitedly discussing.
“It’s said that our family’s Elder has been listed among the powerhouses on the Heavenly Ranking List.”
“Indeed, this news has already spread throughout the nearby seas.”
Who would have thought that Elder Li’s strength would be so astonishing?
In the future, our Lu Family will surely rise to become a Purple Mansion Family.
Over the years, the Lu Family’s development had been remarkable; numerous cultivators had broken through in cultivation, with over ten reaching the peak of Qi Refinement.
Every family member could walk with their head high and full of confidence, and even the nearby Foundation Establishment Families dared not underestimate them anymore.
Furthermore, the family’s financial situation had improved several times over; they no longer needed to pay tribute to the Purple Mansion Family.
Relying on their own Elder’s relationship with the Flowers Sect, no one dared to demand tributes from the Lu Family.
Mystic Moon Island, inside a cave dwelling.
Lu Yuting’s Divine Sense swept over the Jade Talisman in her hand, and her face was also extremely excited.
Her nephew had completely grown up, and the opportunity for the Lu Family to soar had arrived.
This made her feel like she was dreaming; in just a few short years, the Lu Family had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Even the Spirit Stones in the family treasure vault were gradually becoming plentiful, something unimaginable in the past.
