Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Throughout the journey, Li Zhirui answered questions and provided guidance to his clansmen on their spiritual practice.

So much so that the time spent traveling on the road passes by so quickly that one doesn't even notice it.

One day, a member of the clan who was in charge of the spirit ship suddenly spoke up and said, "Ancestor Rui, we have arrived at Yunxia Prefecture."

Everyone then realized with a start that several months had already passed.

Moreover, their arrival time was perfect, just two or three days before the Xuanxian Grand Ceremony was to be held by the Xiaxian Sect.

The clansmen felt a sense of loss and even complained that the spirit ship was too fast, preventing them from listening to Li Zhirui's teachings for a few more days.

"We will stay outside Yunxia Mountain for a few days first, and then climb the mountain to present gifts and offer our congratulations on the day of the grand ceremony."

Li Zhirui instructed, "Although the Xiaxian Sect did not invite any forces below the Human Immortal level to this Xuanxian Grand Ceremony, they will not drive them out of the mountains to listen to the Dao. The low-level spiritual items brought from the family can be sold here for a few days."

Before their arrival, many cultivators had already gathered outside Yunxia Mountain, presumably intending to occupy some spots near the sacred mountain before the ceremony began.

There are simply many cultivators who hold this view, which has led to the current situation.

However, their cultivation levels were relatively low, with only a few scattered Immortal cultivators, who were also rogue cultivators.

If they have the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, they might be able to enter the mountain and have a seat, but if they are just a rogue Human Immortal, they can only find a place to stay outside the mountain.

There was nothing they could do; the Xiaxian Sect had invited too many forces this time, and simply couldn't accommodate any more cultivators.

"Yes, Ruizu, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away," the elder who led the team replied hastily.

Not long after, a small spirit boat flew out, carrying more than a dozen clansmen to the ground.

"Whose organization is this?!"

The appearance of the Li family members immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators.

After all, to some extent, the larger the spirit ship, the higher its grade and the stronger its owner.

"The Li family of Wanxian Mountain!"

Some rogue cultivators recognized the emblem on the spirit ship and said with some surprise, "Isn't this a Celestial Immortal force? Why are they stopping outside instead of going in?"

"The ceremony hasn't even started yet; they've arrived too early."

"Someone flew down."

The cultivators who had been discussing the matter immediately fell silent. No one knew what kind of people the Li family cultivators were. If they were arrogant and domineering, they might suffer if they made wild guesses about the Li family. It was better to be cautious.

Then they saw a cultivator from the Li family take out a black cloth and spread it on the ground. He then laid out various spiritual objects, ranging from mortal realm to scattered immortal realm, human immortal realm, and even earth immortal realm.

The sheer quantity and variety of items, crammed together, created a dazzling display of brilliance.

"Fellow Daoists, if you need or find any spiritual items that interest you, feel free to purchase one or two. My Li family has always been honest and trustworthy in business, treating everyone fairly, young and old," a round-figured clansman with a broad smile said in a loud and boisterous voice.

"This……"

Everyone was astonished. The Li family's actions were completely unexpected; who would have thought they were here to do business?!
However, all the spiritual items they brought out, whether they were pills, talismans, magic weapons, formations, or even the less common puppets, were all top-quality spiritual items!

"I wonder how much this bottle of Jade Liquid Pills is worth?" A certain immortal squeezed in excitedly, asking in a trembling voice.

"Not expensive at all. This is a pill made using the water-refining method that my Li family excels at. It not only has fewer toxins and impurities, but is also much gentler. A bottle only costs a thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Seeing the immortal's face stiffen, the fat clansman understood, knowing that very few cultivators from rogue backgrounds could produce so many spirit stones at once.

He then added with a smile, "Of course, pills are different from other spiritual items; they can be sold individually. A single pill only costs one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"Give me five!" The cultivator said this with a pained expression, as if it were taking half his life.

"Very well, I wish you success in achieving your goal and making further progress!"

The Jade Liquid Pill is characterized by containing a large amount of pure spiritual energy, making it most suitable for people to use in seclusion to break through their cultivation level. That immortal must have been thinking of using the power of the pill to help himself.

After making the first sale, other cultivators gathered around and began selecting spiritual items that they could use.

Although they had more than a dozen people handling the situation, there were simply too many people for them to handle. It was only after the elders on the spirit ship saw the situation that they sent many more clansmen to provide support, which improved the situation somewhat.

Such a commotion outside Yunxia Mountain naturally attracted the attention of the Xiaxian Sect within the mountain.

When they found out what had happened, everyone had different expressions.

"Good heavens! The Li family has actually expanded their business to our territory."

“They previously used the Celestial Ceremony to hold an auction. This time, they even brought a large number of spiritual items to participate in the Ancestor’s ceremony. I think they have been blinded by spiritual stones.”

The elders' expressions were not good; they felt that the Li family's actions were disgraceful and had also embarrassed them.

"I think this is great!"

The sect leader, however, had a different opinion, and said with a smile, "The Li family has only recently broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, so why is it developing so well? Celestial Immortals are being born so frequently?"

He spoke with considerable emotion, noting that it wasn't uncommon for a certain Earthly Immortal power to accumulate strength over many years and then suddenly erupt, giving birth to a Celestial Immortal.

But that's often how they are.

-

"Most of their newly promoted Celestial Immortals are deities, not cultivators; they just come from the Li family," an elder said dismissively, curling his lip.

"Aren't divine immortals also immortals?"

The sect leader glanced at him and asked in return, "Go and see how many deities there are in the Divine Path, and how many of them have broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm?"

"Moreover, in theory, the Heavenly Court is the most powerful force in the divine path, but in terms of the number of Celestial Immortals born in recent years, it is actually not much better than the Li family."

These words made the elders blush, and for a moment they were speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Now I understand. The Li family is shameless, seizing every opportunity to strengthen themselves! That's why they've achieved such success." The sect leader ignored everyone's reactions and continued speaking to himself.

"Should we also hold an auction?" one of the elders tentatively suggested.

But an elder immediately objected, saying, "Is there enough time? There are less than three days left before the ceremony begins." "There's enough time. Organizing an auction won't take much time."

The sect leader thought for a moment and then instructed, "Select some precious high-level spiritual items from the sect's secret vault, and then select spiritual items of various realms from the treasure vault to make a total of three hundred items."

"At the same time, immediately arrange for your disciples to open a shop outside the mountain to sell various low-level spiritual items."

Those independent cultivators may not have high purchasing power, but there are just too many of them! So as long as the spiritual items are suitable, business will definitely not be too bad!

As for the issue that various forces wouldn't bring large amounts of spirit stones and items since the auction wasn't announced in advance, it's easily resolved. They can simply buy them on credit and send them over via teleportation array later. The Xiaxian Sect isn't worried about them defaulting on their debts.

With the sect leader's order, the Xiaxian Sect sprang into action, with each elder going off to complete their assigned tasks.

Before long, a three-story building-shaped magical artifact appeared outside Yunxia Mountain to entertain guests entering the shop.

However, compared to the bustling crowd in front of the Li family's stall, although they also had quite a few customers, their shop was very quiet, and they didn't sell many spiritual items.

The Li family has not responded to this.

"They are copying our methods!" A member of the Li family was furious about this.

"Alright, calm down!" The fat clansman didn't react much; instead, he suppressed everyone to prevent them from causing trouble for the clan.

Putting aside the fact that Xiaxian Sect is powerful, this is their territory. They can do whatever they want. Can the Li family stop them?
"Just do your own thing!"

Even though the Xiaxian Sect was also selling various spiritual items, it did not have a significant impact on the Li family's business.

This situation made the elders of Xiaxian Sect feel both angry and somewhat aggrieved and ashamed. They were selling spiritual items on their own territory, yet they couldn't even compete with the Li family.

The prices were almost the same, with no significant difference, so why was this happening? This puzzled them greatly.

If they went down there themselves and asked the rogue cultivators, they might find out the answer.

The disciples of the Xiaxian Sect were all arrogant and looked down on the rogue cultivators who came to the store to buy spiritual items. Their service attitude was extremely bad, and they always had a contemptuous attitude towards those below them.

Moreover, they didn't explain the advantages of the spirits; they just stood there with the customers, making them feel very uncomfortable and even more resentful.

It would be strange if their business did well under these circumstances!
Even now, some cultivators still go to the Xiaxian Sect's shops to buy spiritual items, either because the Li family doesn't have them, or because they want to curry favor with the Xiaxian Sect.

……

As the sun set and the moon rose, the day for the Xuanxian Grand Ceremony held by the Xiaxian Sect soon arrived.

With a resounding "dong," the clear chime of the bell echoed in all directions, informing all forces that the Xuanxian Grand Ceremony was about to begin.

Tell them to prepare quickly, enter the mountain and take their seats in turn, so as not to miss the auspicious time.

From the weakest human immortal realm forces to sects almost entirely composed of earth immortals, and finally to celestial immortal forces like the Li family.

"Li Zhirui, a junior member of the Li family, has come to the banquet with his younger relatives to congratulate Ancestor Changqing on his further advancement!"

The cultivator who was announcing the gift didn't think much of it until he saw what it was. His expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "The Li family is presenting a bottle of top-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm pills!"

Those forces that had already entered were filled with envy upon hearing this; the Li family was truly too generous!
A bottle of top-grade Celestial Immortal level pills is of immeasurable value, but the Li family was so generous as to give it away as a congratulatory gift.

The Li family had barely settled down after entering Yunxia Mountain when another Celestial Immortal faction arrived. Since they weren't familiar with each other, Li Zhirui simply smiled amicably at the Celestial Immortal as a greeting.

As time went by, the once empty seats are now occupied.

In other words, almost all the forces at the Human Immortal Realm and above from all over the Eastern Continent have now come to Yunxia Prefecture, just to participate in the first Xuanxian Grand Ceremony of the Yuanling Realm.

It has to be said that the Xiaxian Sect actually benefited from this. If they didn't hold the title of number one, so many forces wouldn't have been willing to travel thousands of miles to participate.

Of course, the teachings of the immortals were also a very important factor.

dong dong dong-

When the auspicious hour arrived, the Xiaxian Sect rang a series of bells, and its sect leader stepped forward and announced loudly, "The Xuanxian Grand Ceremony officially begins!"

In fact, the process was no different from the usual grand ceremony. Various spiritual items were presented first for everyone to taste.

Judging from the spiritual objects on the cloud bed, one can tell that the Xiaxian Sect has put in a lot of effort and spent a large amount of spirit stones on this matter.

In front of Li Zhirui alone, there were three Celestial Immortal-grade spiritual fruits, a pot of Celestial Immortal-grade spiritual wine, and several bowls of Earth Immortal-grade spiritual food.

There were nearly fifty Celestial Immortals present, and their basic expenses alone amounted to a huge sum of spirit stones.

Once the spirit creatures had consumed enough, the most important part of the ceremony began!
Lin Changqing appeared silently on the prayer mat prepared for him, a move that even Li Zhirui did not notice.

'Has your strength increased so much after breaking through to the Profound Immortal realm?'

Li Zhirui secretly wondered what was going on. He knew that his current realm was also at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, only one step away from the Profound Immortal realm, but even so, he had not discovered any clues.

However, upon closer reflection, there is no problem with this; the higher the level, the greater the gap.

"Today, I will talk to you about the path of cultivation!" Lin Changqing's words surprised everyone.

Li Zhirui immediately calmed his mind and prepared to carefully study what he was about to say.

Although he did not intend to break through to the Xuanxian realm in the Yuanling Realm, and because of his cultivation of the Chaos God and Demon Dao Body method, he might not be able to break through to the Xuanxian realm for a long time.

But this is only temporary. Once he successfully cultivates the method, advancing to the Profound Immortal Realm is inevitable. It's good to learn about it in advance.

It is said that the stones from the mountains can be used to polish jade, let alone the ancestor Lin Changqing, who is a mysterious immortal, whose cultivation experience is extremely valuable!

"All spiritual beings cannot escape the methods of breathing and exhalation in their cultivation..."

Lin Changqing's sermons were not empty words; he genuinely shared his own cultivation experiences, from the Qi Refining stage he embarked on to his current Profound Immortal realm, without missing a single one.

And this lecture lasted for nine days and nine nights!

Although there were no unusual phenomena, everyone listened with rapt attention, their minds completely absorbed, as if they were walking the path of cultivation alongside Lin Changqing.

When he closed his mouth, everyone felt a sense of loss. (End of Chapter)
