Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Upon hearing this, the attention of all living beings present was focused on the ancient jade slip.

"real or fake?"

Despite trusting the reputation of the Chaos Merchant Guild, some people still harbored subconscious doubts.

After all, the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal is considered top-tier in the entire universe. Destroying the world is no longer an exaggeration for them, but a true reflection of their existence!
Many beings have dreamed of one day achieving the Taiyi realm, but at the same time, they know in their hearts that unless they have an extraordinary stroke of luck, they can never reach such a high level.

First, they lacked cultivation methods corresponding to their cultivation level; second, they had no teachers to guide or instruct them, and could only rely on their own slow exploration.

These two points alone are enough to stop 99% of living beings, not to mention the difficulty of cultivating to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and the various tribulations in the process.

"of course it's true!"

The auctioneer said earnestly, "Moreover, according to the verification of a senior Taiyi within the Chamber of Commerce, although the breakthrough method it contains is not perfect, it is not without value. On the contrary, it has a great enlightening effect!"

"If you have exceptional comprehension, you might even be able to refine the method, further enhance its effects, and increase your chances of breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

These words made many creatures' hearts pound with excitement, their faces flushed, as if they could already see their bright future of breaking through to the Taiyi realm.

However, the exorbitant starting price soon deterred many creatures from even participating, as they were not even qualified to bid, let alone obtain the jade slip.

"Ninth Brother, I should have saved the spirit crystals and bid for this spiritual item."

Qing Si said with some regret, "In this way, you will no longer need to purchase Xuanxian realm cultivation techniques, and you will even have access to Jinxian realm and Taiyi Jinxian realm techniques in the future."

"It's not as simple as you make it out to be."

Li Zhirui chuckled and shook his head. This jade slip contained only the lifelong insights of a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), and did not record any cultivation methods. Therefore, it was not of much help to him in perfecting his cultivation techniques.

Moreover, he is not even a Xuanxian yet, and is still lingering in the Tianxian realm. What use is it for him to be in such a hurry to obtain the method to break through to Taiyi Jinxian?

There are three major realms in between, such a huge gap, we shouldn't be overly ambitious. We should focus our efforts on solving the current problem, which is the lack of cultivation techniques for the Xuanxian level. Li Zhirui has taken them back.

Just as the two were chatting, the price of the jade slip began to skyrocket. No sooner had the previous bid been made than someone else started bidding.

In just a quarter of an hour, the price of the jade slip exceeded 150,000 spirit crystals!

Even so, the price increase has not stopped and continues to grow at a relatively fast pace.

Moreover, as the news spread, the competition for the jade slips was no longer limited to the beings inside the auction hall, but also included some beings outside who had learned of the jade slips.

"That's outrageous! Even if you didn't bid on the previous spiritual items, keeping those spirit crystals wouldn't be of any use at all," Qing Si said in shock.

As of now, the bidding price has exceeded 200,000 spirit crystals, and it continues to rise!
People like Li Zhirui, who are short of money, can only watch as prices skyrocket, sighing inwardly at how many rich people there are.

"gone."

However, he did not stay any longer. Seeing that it might not end anytime soon, he decided to leave the auction house early.

I followed a waiter into a private room to settle the spiritual crystals obtained from the Creation Heavenly Pill, and then paid for the spiritual crystals to bid on the World Origin.

"Are you leaving early, sir?"

"Yes, please lead the way."

"No, it's my duty. Please come with me."

Led by this fellow, Li Zhirui and Qing Si appeared in a deserted alley.

But if you walk out for a short while, you will be back on the street.

"Huh?! Ninth Brother, you're going the wrong way! The way back to the inn is this way!" Qing Si called out as soon as he saw Li Zhirui heading in the opposite direction.

He shook his head and explained, "I didn't go to the wrong place. I plan to go to Wanfa Tower first and explain things to that senior."

He had agreed to keep the appointment today. Although he had spent all his spirit crystals due to an unexpected incident and could no longer buy cultivation techniques, he still had to go to the senior to explain the situation and avoid any misunderstandings.

Li Zhirui was hoping to get some guidance from that senior, which would help him deduce the method and save him some time and energy.

Not long after, he saw that senior again.

"coming?"

As soon as he approached, the senior spoke.

"I've met senior."

Li Zhirui bowed and then immediately explained, "Senior, due to an unexpected incident, I was unable to keep the spirit crystals I had, and I am unable to purchase the cultivation technique today."

"You're quite polite, kid. It's a pity that today is my last day on duty. From now on, someone else will come."

This!
Li Zhirui was stunned. Who would have thought that things would turn out so coincidentally? This senior would not be at Wanfa Tower tomorrow.

It seems he has no chance of getting this opportunity.

He sighed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, and said, "Congratulations on freeing yourself from worldly affairs, senior."

"I find you somewhat agreeable, so I'll tell you this: once you have spirit crystals, you can purchase the three incomplete scriptures: the 'Taixu Chengxin Dixia Daojing,' the 'Liuli Jingshi Jing,' and the 'Jiuxuan Qingling Purification Method.' If you don't lack spirit crystals, it's best to buy them all, study and verify them, and extract their essence while discarding their dross."

Don't be fooled by the fact that he only mentioned three cultivation methods. The Myriad Laws Pavilion contains countless scriptures and Daoist techniques. Even though the purification law that Li Zhirui cultivates is relatively rare, there are still hundreds of related cultivation methods!
He wanted to select a suitable and beneficial cultivation method from among them, which would take him an unknown amount of time and effort.

Moreover, he also had to consider whether his judgment was wrong, since he could not see the entire content of the technique, only a small part, and could only see a general outline and intent.

In a sense, this is also a gamble, and a high-stakes gamble at that.

But in the eyes of this senior, all of this was just a matter of a single sentence, which could solve a lot of trouble for him, saving him a lot of time and energy, and also helping him avoid the wrong answers.

Li Zhirui was overjoyed. He originally thought that this opportunity had slipped through his fingers, but unexpectedly, it took a turn for the better and came back to him!
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it forever!" With that, he bowed again.

He didn't say anything about repaying the other party in the future, but that was the gist of his words.

After all, the gap in cultivation levels between the two sides is still too great. Saying that you can help the other party one day sounds unreliable. It's better to keep it in mind and repay this kindness when there is a real opportunity in the future.

"There's no need for that. It's just a matter of whether you catch my eye or not."

The senior waved his hand and said, "Let's focus on raising spirit crystals. Although those three cultivation techniques are only incomplete, they are of high quality and will require more than two or three hundred thousand spirit crystals in total."

"Go!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Zhirui bowed respectfully before leaving.

"Ninth Brother, I never expected you to gain the favor of this senior." Qing Si said with some envy. Clearly, he also knew how much benefit this matter could bring to Li Zhirui.

"I didn't expect it either." In fact, he was still shocked.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of conspiracy behind this, otherwise why would a stranger be so friendly to him?

However, on the territory of the Chaos Merchant Guild, there is no need to consider security issues.

After thinking about it for a long time, but still unable to guess the reason, I had no choice but to give up and wait until another day.

Li Zhirui's main goal now is to refine more Creation Heaven Pills and sell them directly to the Chamber of Commerce to obtain spirit crystals to purchase those three cultivation techniques.

Therefore, as soon as the two returned to their inn room, they slipped into the spatial dimension.

The space, which is planted with countless spiritual creatures, is naturally not lacking in celestial-level spiritual creatures belonging to the five elements, but they are not yet mature.

Therefore, he could only luxuriously use spirit crystals to stimulate the growth of spirit creatures.

One spirit crystal after another was placed next to the roots of the spirit creature, and a mysterious power immediately emerged. Then the spirit creature began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few hours, the spiritual plant seemed to have traversed a thousand years, maturing instantly and emitting a rich fragrance.

In just half a day, Li Zhirui had acquired more than a dozen different Celestial Immortal-grade Five Elements Spiritual Objects, enough for him to refine three batches of Creation Heavenly Pills.

With his current skill level, he is capable of refining nine pills. Even if the merchant guild's purchase price is lower, based on the auction price, it will still exceed 300,000 spirit crystals.

With the spirit crystals he still had, that should be enough.

If that still doesn't work, we can always refine a few more batches of pills!

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Zhirui set off early for Danlou.

"Nine Creation Heavenly Pills?"

This time, the person in charge of receiving him was not just any ordinary waiter, but a manager.

The manager quickly recognized the pills he had taken out as the Breakthrough Pills that had caused such a stir at yesterday's auction.

"Sir, at yesterday's auction, it was announced that the Creation Heavenly Pill was unavailable for the time being. Therefore, these nine precious pills cannot be auctioned for the time being. We hope you understand."

The Chaos Merchant Guild would never contradict itself; for businesses like theirs, integrity is paramount.

He would never allow the Chaos Merchant Guild to renege on its promises, which would damage the guild's reputation!
“I understand, so I don’t intend to put these nine pills up for auction. I want to sell them to you directly at a reasonable price,” Li Zhirui said, revealing his purpose.

"I see! Then there's no problem."

They even prefer this kind of transaction because they can earn more spirit crystals from it.

"It's five thousand spirit crystals less than the price at the auction. What do you think, sir?" The manager thought for a moment and gave a price.

"Too low."

Li Zhirui shook his head, refusing without hesitation, and gave his answer, "At most, I can only lose two thousand spirit crystals."

"The price is too high. At this rate, we won't earn much spirit crystals at all. Precious pills like these need to be properly stored. The longer they are stored, the higher the cost will be..."

How could Li Zhirui, who had once managed a family, not know the tricks behind what the steward was saying?

"Don't think I don't know anything, boss."

He interrupted the other person directly, saying, "Five hundred less! That's my bottom line."

Seeing that Li Zhirui's expression did not seem fake, the manager considered it for a moment and finally agreed.

After all, this kind of breakthrough pill is an exclusive business; only this person can provide it!

Moreover, after obtaining these nine pills, they can try to decipher the pill formula and attempt to refine them themselves. In this way, they can also have another valuable spiritual item to sell.

After obtaining the spirit crystal, Li Zhirui rushed to the Wanfa Tower without stopping.

Upon going up to the second floor, I saw that the manager sitting there had indeed changed.

"Senior, I would like to purchase the 'Taixu Chengxin Dixia Daojing', 'Liuli Jingshi Jing', and 'Jiuxuan Qingling Purification Method'. These are spirit crystals."

Because he didn't know what kind of person this was, he treated him with normal respect and did not try to please him.

"Ah."

The man responded indifferently, waved his hand, and at the same time accepted the spirit crystal, three jade slips appeared on the table.

"These methods must not be passed on to others. No matter where you hide in the world, you will be cursed and killed instantly!"

After saying this and fulfilling his responsibility, he closed his eyes again, whether to rest and recuperate or to comprehend the laws and cultivate diligently, it was unclear.

The methods sold by the Chaos Merchant Guild are not like those in the Yuanling Realm, which require oaths or special jade slips for restriction.

But their methods are even more powerful and terrifying. They directly used curses, and these curses encompass the entire universe, as if they were embedded into the rules of the universe!
However, Li Zhirui didn't care, since he never intended to reveal his cultivation technique.

Therefore, after expressing his gratitude and bowing, he suppressed his excitement and left the Wanfa Tower with the jade slip.

"What exactly does Wan Zhu see in this person?"

After taking him away, the manager looked at the spot where he had been standing and muttered something only he could hear.

Although he has some comprehension and good fortune, and his aptitude is barely acceptable, he comes from an ordinary background. For such a being to be able to cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm is already a stroke of good fortune.

Li Zhirui was naturally unaware of these things. After obtaining the cultivation technique, he began his seclusion.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The Elemental Realm.

Since Li Zhirui transcended worldly concerns, the Li family has become exceptionally low-key, and they rarely appear in the public eye unless absolutely necessary.

But this does not mean that the Li family became weak and vulnerable. Some attempts to test them were dealt with decisively by the Li family.

Only after discovering that the Li family's secrets were completely sealed did they reluctantly give up their probing.

From then on, the Li family returned to its former peace and tranquility. (End of Chapter)
