Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 364 - 370: Profound Spirit

"Thank you, senior!" Jiang Jieming, whose heart was filled with trepidation, was overjoyed at the words and repeatedly bowed to Li Zhirui to express his gratitude.

Li Zhirui reached out and helped him up from thin air, saying, "You lead the way ahead. Let's go to the Jiang family first and bring your sister out."

Since this lad had seen traces of the Moon Serpent at the Xiao Cang River for several days in a row, there was no harm in a short delay.

"Yes!" Jiang Jieming, with his head lowered, led the way.

The likes of Deng Helin, who were waiting outside, were surprised to see Li Zhirui follow the youngster out. Could it be that this kid had really found the Moon God?

For a moment, many envious glances were cast toward Jiang Jieming, making him quite uncomfortable.

"Senior, where might you be heading? Is there any way we can be of use?" Deng Helin stepped forward slightly, asking respectfully with his head bowed.

Though they were at someone else's mercy and had to take Detoxification Pills every few days, having a Golden Core expert as their backer certainly made life much easier than before. Many cultivators even came to flatter and bribe them, bringing in a small fortune.

"This Spirit Pill can thoroughly cleanse the intense poison in your bodies," Li Zhirui said, then tossed out several jade bottles. "These are Spirit Pills that I've refined, consider them your compensation for the recent period."

Although Deng Helin and others hadn't played a significant role, it was their ostentatious search for the Moon Serpent that made the news known to all cultivators, which could be considered a minor merit.

Deng Helin and the others were taken aback by his words. Were they no longer needed?

These people, who had offended a Golden Core expert and were doomed, were now living a stroke of incredible luck and should not be overbearing. But human desires are endless, and over this period, their desires had grown substantially. Naturally, they wanted more.

How could robbing cultivators be more promising than serving as a Golden Core expert's lackey?

"Please consider taking us with you, senior. We are willing to go through fire and water for you, to serve before and behind the saddle!" Deng Helin pleaded with a resonating voice.

"Going through fire and water is but our duty!" Hearing this, the others also quickly chimed in agreement.

At these words, Li Zhirui looked at Deng Helin with a half-smile and, without mockery or scorn, just asked in an even tone, "But what can you do for me?"

With just that one sentence, they were left speechless.

Saying more, however pleasant sounding, was not as good as doing one thing well.

Yet they couldn't even manage the task of finding the Moon Serpent's trace; how could Li Zhirui consider taking such useless people with him?

Didn't Deng Helin and the others understand this? They knew it very well in their hearts, but just couldn't let go.

Li Zhirui, uninterested in watching their expressions change, continued letting Jiang Jieming lead the way after speaking.

The Wood Mountain, where the Jiang Family resided, was not far from the marketplace. It took Li Zhirui and his companion just over half an hour to get there.

"Senior, this is the territory of the Jiang family, and my sister is inside," said an excited Jiang Jieming.

"Hmm, let's go in then."

To Li Zhirui, the Defensive Array of Wood Mountain was like a mere piece of paper, easily punctured, so there was no harm following Jiang Jieming inside.

"Are the people of your Jiang family always this scarce?" Li Zhirui asked with a strange expression.

On their journey, they surprisingly hadn't encountered a single cultivator!

Jiang Jieming seemed to suddenly think of something, hurriedly running in a certain direction, Li Zhirui's eyebrows slightly raised, had originally thought that taking the person away would be enough, but it now seemed that it wouldn't be so easy. Yet a small Foundation Establishment clan couldn't stir up much trouble.

Shaking his head, with a thought, he closely followed behind him.

"Jiang Jielin, hurry up and come out, the Wang Family from the Rare Beast Pavilion is a Golden Core major clan, this Mr. Wang is not only talented but also deeply favored by the Wang family ancestors, to be his concubine is an immense honor for you. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Yes, if Mr. Wang takes a liking to you and you get a Foundation Establishment Pill, you could become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"You little wench, are you trying to get us all killed?!"

By the time Li Zhirui and Jiang Jieming arrived, they saw hundreds of people gathered together, some persuading kindly, others threatening and tempting Jiang Jielin to marry this Mr. Wang.

"My sister will not marry that what's-his-name Mr. Turtle!" Jiang Jieming roared angrily, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"You say she won't marry, just like that? Who do you think you are..." The words weren't even finished when, turning around, they saw a cultivator with an imposing aura like the abyss, clearly not ordinary, standing beside Jiang Jieming.

"Go get your sister and let's leave," said Li Zhirui.

"Yes! Senior!" With Li Zhirui backing him, Jiang Jieming had an extra surge of confidence, he extended his hand to push through the crowd and into his own courtyard.

"Hold on!" An elder suddenly stood up, demanding, "Jiang Jieming, you brazenly brought outsiders into our clan grounds, are you aware of your crime!"

A flicker of impatience crossed Li Zhirui's eyes as he released his oppressive aura and said, "Don't waste time!"

The crowd was shocked and trembling, unable to believe that Jiang Jieming had some relation to a Golden Core cultivator.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Jieming took advantage of the crowd's immobility, rushed into the house, and pulled out a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Senior, that Jiang Jielin is fancied by the Wang Family of the Rare Beast Pavilion, you..." Before the sentence was finished, the speaker was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, life and death unknown.

"Let's go," said Li Zhirui, seeing that they had the person, immediately released the Spirit Boat, carried the two onboard, and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Initially, Li Zhirui was puzzled—how could the Wang Family, whose clan ground was far away in Green Mountain State, have taken an interest in a female cultivator from a minor family in Cang Hai Province.

But when Jiang Jielin appeared, Li Zhirui immediately understood. It wasn't that the girl was exceptionally beautiful, but she emanated a rich atmosphere of the Profound Yin Physique.

Obviously, she possessed a special Spiritual Body, the Profound Yin Physique, ideal for use as a furnace in cultivation.

That so-called Mr. Wang must have discovered Jiang Jielin's existence by chance and wanted her for himself, for her to become a furnace to aid his own cultivation.

"What should we do now!"

"Disaster! A disaster! How did the Jiang Family raise such a scourge who disregards her own clan!"

The cultivators of the Jiang Family present could already anticipate that when Mr. Wang finds out his chosen woman has disappeared, he definitely wouldn't listen to their explanations and might even lash out in fury, striking against the Jiang Family.

Leaving aside the Jiang Family's predicament, after Li Zhirui took the siblings away, they knelt down on the Spirit Boat, bowing deeply and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!"

"All of this is merely a transaction, don't dwell on it," Li Zhirui shook his head, there could naturally be no talk of favors in a mere transaction.
