From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 157: War Is Imminent

War?

With whom?

Li Quanqing was stunned for a moment, recalling a certain name, he cautiously asked, "Clan Leader, are we going to start a war with the Situ Family?"

Li Zongyao slightly shook his head, speaking in a deep voice, "It hasn’t come to that point yet. The Sword Sect has yet to give us the go-ahead, how could there be a war between Foundation Establishment Families? But that day is soon approaching."

Li Quanqing’s mood relaxed a little: "Then who are we going to war with?"

"A bunch of Qi Refining small clans on the outskirts of our family’s sea territory are actually planning to betray the Li Family and swear allegiance to the Situ Family. Truly deserving of death!"

The Old Clan Chief slowly spoke, a flicker of coldness in his eyes.

Such acts of betrayal against the master family had not occurred for a long time.

Li Quanqing’s heart stirred upon hearing this, "Is it the small clans located near the Purple Blood Sea Domain?"

Li Zongyao coldly nodded. The Purple Blood Sea Domain was now under the control of the Situ Family, and with the notoriety of their Golden Core Family rising by the day, naturally, many border clans harbored thoughts.

They even considered seizing several of the Li Family’s precious mine Spirit Veins and proactively offering them to the Situ Family in exchange for protection and promotion.

Unfortunately, these cultivators underestimated the Li Family.

A Qi Refining small clan that had risen for merely a hundred years, how could it possibly stand against a millennial noble family?

The plan of betrayal had yet to be implemented when it was exposed and brought to the attention of Qingyu Island’s Clan Leader, naturally inciting fury.

A decision was immediately made to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

After understanding the causes and consequences, Li Quanqing’s mind eased. He then took out the Turtle Longevity Extending Technique and explained it in detail.

"Life Extension Technique! This is too precious, Quanqing! You’re truly fortunate!"

Li Zongyao’s face smoothed out as he read the Turtle Shell, revealing a shocked expression. It took a while before he finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thankfully, Golden Core Cultivators who form the Great Pill, where Essence, Qi, and Spirit unite, can likewise maximize their life force to the extreme. This cultivation technique is of no use to them."

Knowing this, Li Quanqing had willingly brought out the Turtle Longevity Extending Technique.

Had it been a life extension technique beneficial to even Golden Core True Masters, he certainly would not have dared, for sure he would have kept it hidden, waiting until his breakthrough to Golden Core to consider such things.

"By rights, with you presenting this technique, the family should certainly reward you with all it has to offer."

"Unfortunately, at our level, one can pretty much ask the family for whatever one wants, so it’s difficult to find anything that catches the eye..."

After pondering for a moment, the Old Clan Chief took out a white porcelain bottle with a large belly: "Here’s what I’ll do, I have a hundred jin of Azure Sea Spirit Liquid, let it serve as the reward for this occasion."

"Azure Sea Spirit Liquid?"

Li Quanqing remembered the blue sea-like liquid he had seen when he inherited the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill.

It seemed to enhance one’s roots and slightly improve a Water Spirit Root’s affinity with the ocean.

Li Zongyao nodded, touching the Fish Mirror in front of him, "This kind of spirit liquid, only by this mirror continuously consuming and releasing the essence of the vast sea, can some of it be condensed, and once every twenty or thirty years, we can extract a Gui Water True Evil from the spirit liquid."

"Since your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, all the accumulated Azure Sea Spirit Liquid is right here; it’s equivalent to one-fifth of a Foundation Establishment spiritual object and can aid your cultivation of the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill."

"After you’ve completely refined it, you can probably reach the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment and attempt to break through the minor bottleneck."

Li Quanqing, holding the delicate porcelain bottle, was surprised that even the Clan Leader hadn’t seen through his current cultivation level, and immediately he felt relieved.

He didn’t wait long before he saw a streak of fire descend from the sky, burning fiercely, like a crimson meteor crashing down, leaving a long-lasting trail in the sky.

It was Li Kunli.

Now that the Situ Family controlled the Whale Emperor Fang City and was greatly developing it, business had indeed improved a lot, hence he had been staying there to monitor their every move.

Since Shuihua Sword Sect also left a Foundation Establishment Elder there all year round, the danger wasn’t very high.

"Greetings to the Hall Master."

Li Quanqing saw the towering figure shrouded in blazing flames and swiftly paid his respects.

"You kid, after not seeing you for so long, you’re being formal with me, making things feel so distant!"

Li Kunli laughed heartily. After his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, his life essence was enhanced.

Now he looked like a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a rugged face sharp as a knife, black hair, and an upright spine.

The two exchanged smiles and laughter, finally returning to the state of closeness they once shared.

The Clan Leader spoke softly, recounting the tale of the betrayal by the Qi Refining Families: "War is upon us, this is also a life and death trial for the Law Enforcement Cultivators of the family."

"So, I need every Artifact Refiner of the Artifact Hall to act, spare no effort to refine the Green Carp Sword and the Green Scale Shield. It would be best if we could produce a few more pieces of Green Jade Armor to bestow upon those Qi Refining Ninth Layer and Great Perfection Cultivators."

"No problem, I’ll round up those rascals."

Li Kunli readily agreed with a smile and looked toward the young man in the green robe: "A few years have passed, how has your Artifact Refining Technique progressed, lad?"

"I’ve fortunately made a breakthrough to a Second Rank Artifact Refiner and am confident in refining Spiritual Artifact Level Green Jade Armor."

Li Quanqing spoke up, thankfully having experienced a surge in his abilities previously; otherwise, it would have been a difficult claim to make.

"Amazing! You truly are a real genius!"

Li Kunli gave a thumbs-up, impressed with the swift pace of cultivation while also managing to master the technique of Artifact Refining, which was indeed remarkable.

"I will give the Artifact Hall one month for refining. After one month, we will eradicate that group of traitors!"

"If there aren’t enough Magic Artifacts by then, we can take out the reserve items the ancestors left behind in the armory," said Li Zongyao, his eyes as deep as the ocean, considering these small families to be nothing more than a minor annoyance.

The true concern was the Situ Family; cunning with age, he had already sensed the dissatisfaction of the Upper Sect towards the Situ Family.

When war broke out, he was determined to ensure that every member of the Li Family stepping onto the battlefield would be equipped with a Green Carp Sword and a Green Scale Shield.

Every Clan Elder of the Qi Refining Eighth Level and above should be clad in a layer of Green Jade Armor!

"Your orders will be obeyed, Clan Leader!"

The Artifact Refining Hall bustled with feverish activity. Naturally, Li Quanqing could only temporarily remain on Qingyu Island, unable to return to his fish pond.

He seized this opportunity to sort through the Magic Artifacts accrued in his Storage Bag, intending to hand them all over to the family to bolster its strength.

"Screech!!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle spread its wings and soared, burrowing into the depths of the Artifact Refining Hall, where it was greeted by the familiar Qingli Volcano. It excitedly let out a loud cry as it delighted in its surroundings.

It had established its Foundation here and naturally loved the environment, eager to plunge into the volcano to bask in the magma.

"Go have fun."

Li Quanqing patted its hard, iron-like feathers and jumped down from the heavenly vault alongside Li Kunli, their robes fluttering elegantly as they descended.

"Greetings to the two Supreme Elders!"

Led by Li Quanlin, a throng of Artifact Refiners, numbering seventy to eighty, knelt in respect below.

Now the Li Family’s power had swollen and expanded, and they had attracted many new adepts. The number of Cultivators in the whole family was close to three thousand.

Moreover, because the family was flourishing and benefits were good, prospects were bright, everyone was putting their all into having children. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators naturally welcomed this. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"The specifics have already been communicated in advance through Sound Transmission Talismans. This month, give it your all. Whoever dares to slack off, I’ll make sure they won’t get away with it!"

Li Kunli’s imposing figure stood there, his serious expression and booming voice resonating as if amplified by a natural loudspeaker.

Li Quanqing chose to remain low profile, donning a reserved smile that made him seem amiable.

"The two Elders, the Earth Fire Rooms are ready."

The Artifact Refiners received their orders and departed, leaving only Li Quanlin behind.

Having recently advanced to Qi Refining Eighth Level and just refined a piece of Green Jade Armor, he too was a Clan Elder and now held the position of Artifact Refining Hall Master.

"Kid, want to have a bet to see who can refine more artifacts?"

Li Kunli’s eyes challenged him; the old man was still as competitive as ever.

Li Quanqing touched the bulging Storage Bags, slightly smiling: "Naturally, I could not compare to you, my elder. Let’s forget it."

Seeing this, Li Kunli had no choice but to relent and dive into an Earth Fire Room to begin a closed-door Artifact Refining session, withdrawing magma and earth fire with the Array.

Li Quanqing did likewise, entering another top-tier Earth Fire Room. Surrounded by burning flames warping the space around him, the intense heat was enough even for refining Spiritual Artifacts.

He manipulated the Arrays around him, shutting the Artifact Refining Room door tightly. Array Patterns wove into the void, at last isolating the intense heat.

"Let’s see how many Magic Artifacts I’ve accumulated now."
