From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 222 - 217: Disciple

Li Quanqing touched the white light group, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.

To know, the Shuihua Sword Sect had always relied on Foundation Establishment Pills to restrict the development of the various powers and families under its control.

Now, with the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, the Green Jade Li Family truly had the capital to break free from the control of the Golden Core Sect and grow independently!

He crushed the light group, only to see it dissipate into light, leaving an ancient Green Jade Scroll lying quietly in the palm of his hand.

Although it was just a jade scroll, it emitted the fragrance of hundreds of herbs, and its surface was carved with the shape of a giant turtle, majestic and imposing.

Faced with the legacy of the Foundation Establishment Pill, probably any Second-order Alchemist would go mad with desire.

Li Quanqing put away the jade scroll; now was not the time to examine it closely, for guests had already arrived.

He opened the cave mansion, and Li Quanfu entered directly with his son, his figure round and chubby, looking somewhat restrained.

"Quanfu pays respect to the Supreme Elder! Seeing the cousin smiling joyously, with happiness emanating from his heart, I presume there must be some great joyous occasion!"

Li Quanfu presented a carefully prepared gift, his face also breaking into a smile.

Only when standing face to face with a cultivator in the later stages of Foundation Establishment did he truly feel that immense, daunting pressure, deep as the Hanhai Sea.

"Jingui pays respects to Uncle Quanqing!"

The little child Li Jingui spoke with a baby voice, although young, his actions were proper and respectful.

"Such a good boy, between our clansmen, there’s no need to be so formal."

Li Quanqing said with a smile, channeling his mana and Divine Sense to greatly contain his aura, turning as ordinary as a mortal, the pressure around him dissipating.

He brewed a pot of spiritual tea, specifically adding a sour and sweet plum into the tea, very much to the taste of children.

Li Quanfu sat gingerly, cautiously sipping his tea, having been busy with workshop affairs over the years, although having never ceased dealings.

But as age progresses, a person’s character and experiences unavoidably change, some things can never go back to how they were.

The two chatted amicably, conversing non-stop, and subtly steered the conversation towards the child, Li Jingui.

It was clear what Li Quanfu’s intention was; he wanted his son to have a mentor within the family, having a significant backing to ensure a smoother path in his future Dao.

After all, the cousin in front of him could be said to be one of the most powerful cultivators in the entire Li Family.

A top-grade spiritual root, which was already an extremely remarkable talent, especially since Li Jingui’s spiritual root almost reached the threshold of Earth-grade.

The Immortal Ascension Conference had been held for half a month, yet only he was found with such a case, truly rare.

"Accepting disciples, taking an apprentice..."

Li Quanqing rubbed the tea cup, falling into a moment of silence, slowly pondering in his heart.

With his current strength, teaching a child was naturally no issue, even supporting his future Foundation Establishment was feasible.

But to instruct him step by step, starting from breathing and expelling techniques, that was too tedious, and he didn’t have that much energy.

"Let’s not talk about taking an apprentice, just call me an old teacher, and if you encounter anything unclear in your cultivation later, you can come and ask me."

Li Quanqing took out a blank jade scroll, pressed it against his forehead, and after a moment took it off:

"This is a part of the Metal Sword technique I practiced when I was still a Qi Refining cultivator, named ’Geng Metal Sword Skill’, I am giving it to you today as a gift for entering the Dao."

Holding the jade scroll, his heart couldn’t help but be filled with a myriad of emotions.

Back then, he was just a humble fisherman, and it was this sword technique spawned from that group of Iron Shell Crabs that helped him survive many calamities.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he already had someone to pass on the legacy.

"Thank you, Teacher Quanqing."

Li Jingui blinked his large eyes, his chubby face flush with redness, very fair, resembling a porcelain doll and quite endearing.

He grabbed the jade scroll with both little hands, excited yet respectful, displaying good manners, making him utterly adorable.

Watching this scene, Li Quanfu felt a slight regret that his son hadn’t secured a Master title, but was nonetheless quite satisfied.

The future is long; there will always be opportunities.

After seeing off the two guests, Li Quanqing finally had the opportunity to check the reward offered by the Longevity Turtle.

He sat cross-legged on the embankment, took out the inheritance Jade Scroll, and observed it with his divine sense, slowly comprehending the recorded Dan Recipe.

Indeed, it was the Foundation Establishment Pill. The grade was extremely high, and among the second-order elixirs, it was top-ranking, with quite a difficulty in refinement.

Besides, the herbs required were equally precious; thousand-year-old spiritual medicines need not be mentioned, as they were essential.

Additionally, a second-stage demon beast’s Dan Core was needed as a medicinal primer to refine a batch of precious Foundation Establishment Great Pills.

"The mysteries of alchemy are unmatched; demon energy and the Human Clan’s mana are incompatible, yet under an alchemist’s control, they can perfectly merge into one, truly an eye-opening marvel!"

Li Quanqing was incessantly amazed.

Although he had previously unlocked an alchemist’s inheritance, it was only first-ranked, far from a second-order Alchemist.

Not even the entire Green Jade Li Family had an Alchemy Master, they could only watch and sigh for now.

After reading the entire Dan Recipe, Li Quanqing made a copy and handed it to the Old Clan Chief stationed at the Ten Thousand Fish Pond.

He had his excuse ready; it was previously bought from the White Bird Commerce, and since that traveling merchant group had already left and was no longer around, there was no worry.

The Old Clan Chief, upon seeing the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, was also shocked, his eyes wide open in surprise, his palms trembling slightly holding the Jade Scroll.

This could be said to be the foundation for the Li Family to break away from Shuihua Sword Sect and establish their own reign.

After all, once they could refine their Foundation Establishment Pills, they could attract other Foundation Establishment Families and even support a batch of Qi Refining Families themselves.

To contend fairly with the Shuihua Sword Sect.

"From now on, the clan’s training direction will lean towards alchemists, trying to nurture an Alchemy Master among the ’Jin’ generation," Li Zongyao said solemnly, deciding the family’s development direction for the next several hundred years with one sentence.

As the number of Foundation Establishment members in the Li Family increased, supporting the family naturally became somewhat difficult; they needed an industrial upgrade and expansion.

Unfortunately, within tens of thousands of miles of sea area nearby, all discovered Spirit Stone Veins were monopolized by the Sword Sect; for now, Li Family could only rely on selling resources to earn Spirit Stones.

Owning a Spirit Stone Mine of their own would allow them to develop rapidly and without worries.

After finishing these matters, Li Quanqing went deep into Jade Dragon Pond, preparing to feed Ao Qing with the purchased elixirs.

He first found the Canghai Whale, which since receiving its ancestors’ gift, liked to wander around the whole Grotto Heaven’s sky.

Regrettably, due to the Canghai Whale’s long lifespan, it had lived too long, and its cultivation speed wasn’t fast, showing not much enthusiasm.

Riding the Canghai Whale, Li Quanqing reached the depths of Jade Dragon Pond and met Ao Qing.

Now its body had grown even larger, reaching more than thirty feet long, undulating and twisting in the water like a mountain range hidden within the deep pond.

"Moo-moo—"

It opened its mouth and lowly roared, its voice robust and powerful, like a grand bell tolling, stirring ripples across the water.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and soon, a round Taiyin full moon hung high, illuminating the entire Qingyu Grotto Heaven with its moonlight.

Ao Qing protruded its head from the water, the head alone nearly the size of a house, covered in greenish-blue scales, with a horn on its forehead radiating halos like sparks of lightning bursting forth.

It opened its mouth, swallowing towards the moon, with the demon energy inside its body circulating on its own, as if meridian pathways were carved through its flesh, moving around its body.

Buzz!!

Rich moonlight showered down, supremely pure, making it seem as if a second moon had risen, immaculately out of this world, lighting up all directions.

The Green Horned Fish Dragon coiled its body, vigorous and graceful, exhaling demon energy like clouds, forming a sea of clouds lifting this halo-formed moon, using Taiyin Moonlight to temper its Jiao Long Bloodline.

Li Quanqing watched, moved in his heart, and immediately took out the Hanhai Bowl, taking out the Moon Pattern Rabbits from it.

Bathing under the moonlight, these rabbits instantly became excited, their snow-like fur stretched out, shimmering in colorful brilliance, looking spirited and vivid.

One after another, they quietly stayed on the small island in the lake’s heart, quietly inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Energy as they cultivated, their bodies seemingly emanating faint light.

The moonlight was like ethereal gauze captivatingly beautiful, ten thousand carps in the water honoring the moon as they cultivated, the group of rabbits by the shore white as snow, their blue pupils like beautiful jewels.

For a moment, the scene was filled with tranquility and serenity, as beautiful as a painting.
