Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 433 - 439: Hard Work

"Dad, I've finally made my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, shouldn't you give me a little reward?" Li Chengshuo said with her eyes brimming with anticipation. She knew very well that her father possessed a great many treasures, and even a tiny bit given to her could satiate her immensely.

"The spiritual objects I have on hand right now aren't suitable for you; we'll talk about it in a few days," Li Zhirui replied. For him, refining second-order Spirit Pills was a matter of ease, and with just a bit of effort, he could produce second-order Spirit Pills with Pill Patterns.

"Fine, then I'll be waiting for Dad!" Li Chengshuo was not disappointed, after all, getting a little of something was better than nothing.

"Sheng, you have yours too; that Li Fire Sparrow needs to be cultivated carefully. If you need anything, just come to Dad."

"Dad! That's way too biased!" Li Chengshuo was quite dissatisfied.

Li Zhirui laughed, "You girl, do you really think if I didn't say anything, you wouldn't come asking for it?"

The reason he had specifically mentioned it to Li Chengsheng was that he knew even if Chengsheng were lacking spiritual objects, he would never bring it up proactively.

He didn't know how this rascal had developed such a stubborn temperament.

"Alright, everyone go back." Li Zhirui still had matters to discuss with Jiang Fengwu.

He closed the door and activated the Formation.

Li Zhirui then embraced Jiang Fengwu tightly, lowered his head, and took a deep inhale of the subtle floral fragrance on her, saying in a hoarse voice, "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too."

Over the years, Jiang Fengwu had lost count of how many times she dreamt of Li Zhirui failing his breakthrough and turning into a charred corpse.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui remembered he had some things to say, which kept them from rushing to Mount Wu to indulge in their passions.

"Now that I've broken through to Nascent Soul, it's time for you to cultivate the 'Wanling Sutra' openly and rightfully."

Jiang Fengwu chuckled lightly and said, "That matter has already been settled, courtesy of Uncle."

"Hmm?"

During the years Li Zhirui was in seclusion, Li Shiqing had arranged for an Elder to propose additional clan rules, such as family compensation and welfare, which included permission for the spouses of family members to cultivate the 'Wanling Sutra'.

However, there were quite a few restrictions on this rule, such as needing to be married into the Li family for ten years and having made contributions to the development of the family, among others.

So, after an intense debate, they agreed to teach the 'Wanling Sutra' to a total of forty-nine spouses of family members, including Jiang Fengwu, who was the only one to directly receive the methods for the Golden Core chapter.

With various restrictions added, approval from Li Dayuan, as well as support from both Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, the two elders, the clan rule was passed. One could imagine the resistance this had within the family.

After knowing the details, Li Zhirui was silent for a long time. He understood that Li Shiqing stepping forward was for his sake.

Because if Li Zhirui himself had been the one pushing for it, even as a Nascent Soul True Lord, he wouldn't escape the clan's criticism since it was evident that he was doing it for Jiang Fengwu, which could undermine Li Zhirui's prestige.

"It must have been tough on Uncle and Elder Lian, at their age, to have to deal with this for me."

Li Zhirui did not dwell further on the issue; after all, it was in the past, and the goal was achieved. He would find a way to show gratitude to the two family members in the future.

"By the way, how did Shuo get those Silver Wolves?"

At this moment, it was Jiang Fengwu's turn to fall silent. After suppressing his anger, he finally spoke of Li Chengshuo's scheme, which incited conflict between the two clans and provided an opportunity for him to sneak into the Wolf's Den and bring back several Silver Wolves to the family.

"Indeed! Worthy of being my daughter!" Li Zhirui was not angry; on the contrary, he was very happy that Li Chengshuo possessed such tactics. Although they were a bit crude, for her age and experience, it was already quite impressive.

"You'd better not say this in front of Shuo, or with her reckless nature, she might stir up some trouble," Jiang Fengwu warned, glaring at him as he said, "If you tell her, you'll be sleeping in the Alchemy Room from now on."

That look, filled with allure, made Li Zhirui instantly indulge in it, unable to extricate himself, nor did he wish to.

Spring nights are fleeting, worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Waves of passion surge, with continuous soft panting.

——

Ever since Li Zhirui emerged from seclusion, Wanxian Island bustled with activity again. Apart from the clan members who were still tempering their bones and muscles in the Spirit Wisdom Court, all the other clan members were busy with tasks, but no one complained; instead, they were very excited.

Because it was the time for the Nascent Soul ceremony, the pride of the Li family!

"You've worked hard," Li Dayuan said to the Foundation Establishment cultivators standing before him.

These were clan messengers specially assigned to deliver invitations to various Golden Core powers nearby, each of them at the middle or late stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for another Nascent Soul power, Shen Leishan, it was Li Zhixuan who was sent to deliver the invitations. The two elders were too old, Li Zhirui's status too exalted, and Jiang Fengwu also gained status by her marriage, all making it impossible for them to be the messengers. No one else remained, due to their status or strength, except for Li Zhixuan.

"Senior, what brings you here?" asked a Shen Leishan disciple who guarded the mountain, hastily bowing upon seeing the sharp Sword Qi emitted by Li Zhixuan.

"I am Li Zhixuan from the Wanxian Island's Li family. I am here specifically to deliver the invitation for the Nascent Soul ceremony that will take place in a few days."

"Hahaha, I knew there was a reason magpies were perching on the branches this morning. It turns out we have an honored guest arriving!" A Golden Core elder laughed as he stepped forward. His eyes sparkled with recognition upon seeing Li Zhixuan.

"Shen Leishan's Chang Zhihua greets fellow Daoist Li Zhixuan!"

Li Zhixuan, seeing this, returned the gesture and handed the invitation to Chang Zhihua, saying, "Please trouble fellow Daoist to deliver this invitation to Sect Leader Lei Tian."

Lei Tian was indeed lucky. Although he was stripped of his position as Sect Leader because of matters involving the Li family, the two factions below him, unwilling to accept the other side, and not wanting the other's candidates to rise to power, remained deadlocked, resulting in many affairs of Shen Leishan being neglected.

In the midst of this chaos and rush, Lei Tian somehow managed to secure his position as Sect Leader once again!

"Would fellow Daoist like to come in and enjoy the mountain scenery?" the elder invited.

No matter whether Li Zhixuan came from a Nascent Soul family or not, the fierce Sword Qi alone commanded respect.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I still have urgent matters to attend to and really don't have the time. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist," Li Zhixuan replied, with a hint of apology.

Although Li Zhixuan was not good at socializing, she was not a fool; she knew how to properly decline an invitation.

"That is truly a pity," the elder said sincerely, as if he had missed out on a treasured possession, seemingly oblivious to Li Zhixuan's polite refusal.

Unfortunately for him, as a Sword Cultivator, Li Zhixuan's will was stalwartly firm; she would not be swayed by others.

"Please take the trouble to deliver the invitation to Sect Leader Lei Tian. I must be on my way," she said. After bowing respectfully, she mounted her Spirit Sword and flew off toward the east.
