Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Damn it!

The Xuanxian cultivator glared at Li Zhirui hatefully. He had originally sensed that the other party's aura was abnormal, and he seemed to be injured and easy to bully, which was why he chose him as his opponent.

To his utter surprise, the opponent's strength had not been greatly affected and remained quite formidable; he was no match for them.

After the fight, he ended up getting injured and was unable to stay there any longer to compete for those spiritual items.

"I'll remember this debt! I'll pay it back tenfold in the future!"

After the cultivator finished speaking through gritted teeth, he gave Li Zhirui a deep look, as if trying to etch his image into his mind. Then, he transformed into a ray of light and fled into the distance.

"call!"

Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief as the man left.

The battle just now put too much pressure on him. If he hadn't prepared a large number of Rejuvenation Pills in advance, he might not have been able to defeat his opponent in his current condition.

Although he achieved victory, the battle put immense pressure on his meridians. It was only because Li Zhirui's cultivation level was now high and his meridians had been tempered for a long time that his meridians would have been damaged after the battle.

Fortunately, this great battle also made other cultivators see his powerful strength, and they dared not fight him again.

Li Zhirui, however, dared not truly relax and rest. Instead, he hurriedly seized the time to take the pills and recover his condition as quickly as possible.

After all, an even more intense and dangerous battle awaits all cultivators!
Even during the process of regulating his breathing and recovering, he remained very vigilant, diverting a portion of his attention to his surroundings.

at the same time.

The battles among the other cultivators also saw victories and defeats emerge one after another.

After a great battle, the number of cultivators near Mount Ling was reduced by more than half.

However, even at this point, some cultivators still felt that there were too many and wanted to drive them away to reduce the number of cultivators so that they could obtain more spiritual items.

Naturally, they turned their attention to the few remaining Celestial Immortals and the Xuan Immortals who were not in good condition.

"Humph!"

But before they could make a move, they were seen through. A certain Xuanxian cultivator stepped forward, snorted coldly, and said, "Aren't you afraid of overeating and dying if you want to monopolize all the spiritual treasures?"

No one knows what he did or how he did it, but he managed to unite all those cultivators to fight against another group of cultivators, including even those few Celestial Immortals.

This immediately put them in a difficult position, making them hesitant to easily provoke a major war.

After all, one or two are easy to deal with, but a dozen or twenty Xuanxian cultivators, even if their strength has been weakened to some extent, are definitely not easy to mess with!

However, they were somewhat unwilling, and the two groups of cultivators remained deadlocked in front of Mount Ling.

In order to avoid being driven away, Li Zhirui naturally followed the crowd and mingled among them.

He felt a surge of admiration for the cultivator standing at the very front of the crowd, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly impressive! He managed to unite everyone."

He himself would never have been able to do that.

Even if that person's method seems very simple, nothing more than explaining the pros and cons and using spiritual objects to lure people, how many people can actually do it?

As for the stalemate between the two sides, Li Zhirui believes that the problem will be resolved soon.

Sure enough, a cultivator stepped forward and said, "Everyone, let's not continue this stalemate. This matter has spread throughout the entire secret realm, and there are definitely many cultivators on their way. The longer we delay, the more cultivators will be able to divide up the spiritual treasures."

"How do we determine the ownership of the many spiritual creatures in the mountains?" After a moment of silence, one of the cultivators asked.

"Many spiritual beings exist; the virtuous shall reside among them!"

As for how to interpret 'virtue', that depends on individual understanding.

"it is good!"

The two sides ceased their standoff and stalemate, and flew into the mountains to pick the spiritual objects they desired.

Those few celestial cultivators were very clever. Instead of choosing the rare and high-grade spiritual items, they quickly picked the lowest-grade spiritual items with the dimst spiritual light and then left the place directly.

They were very worried that if they stayed in this place for too long, they would be attacked by some immortal and have their spiritual items stolen.

From any perspective, their concerns are valid and quite likely to come true.

There's nothing they can do; they're simply not strong enough and are inherently inferior.

So their idea was simple: not to be greedy, and to leave quickly after getting a few spiritual items.

"interesting……"

"That's what a truly intelligent person is."

Many immortals watched the departing spirits with surprise in their eyes, as if they hadn't expected that the spirits would actually restrain their greed.

Li Zhirui glanced at it and quickly looked away, but he was clearly affected, and his hands moved much faster.

He knew that in his current state, he would inevitably attract the attention of many Xuanxian (mystical immortals).

It's just that there are still many unclaimed spiritual objects, and everyone is busy acquiring more spiritual objects, so they haven't taken immediate action against him or cultivators like him.

As for the team that organized them, it was already defunct after entering Mount Ling, since everyone had scattered and naturally could not pose any threat to the other group of cultivators.

Just as everyone was quickly collecting spiritual items, several beams of light arrived from afar.

When the spiritual light dissipated, the figures of several Xuanxian cultivators were revealed.

He then joined in without hesitation and began collecting spiritual items.

Among the previous immortals, there were naturally some who were very dissatisfied with this. They had gone through a great battle to gain the qualification to enter this place.

However, because this group of cultivators arrived too late, they could enter the Spirit Mountain directly without having to fight a battle, and collect spiritual items just like the others.

However, because there was no one to lead the group, and the group worked together well, a conflict ultimately did not break out.

Moreover, this group of cultivators was not the only one to join later, because not long after, many more cultivators arrived.

Therefore, the spiritual mountain, which originally had a large number of spiritual creatures, began to decrease rapidly due to the large number of cultivators collecting them. It was no longer as easy to see as it was at the beginning.

At the same time, the increasing number of cultivators has also brought new problems.

That means there will be situations where several people want the same spiritual item. In order to compete for the spiritual item, some will take the initiative to back down, some will choose to trade, and some will directly take action!
When Li Zhirui realized that there were very few spiritual creatures left in the mountains, he knew he had to leave, otherwise he might bring trouble upon himself.

Moreover, he had already acquired more than a dozen high-level spiritual items during this period, which was more than enough for him.

So when he took the spiritual object in front of him, he did not hesitate at all, immediately transformed into a rainbow of light, and flew away into the distance.

He was also the first Xuanxian cultivator to leave this place.

"Ha! Coward!" A cultivator immediately let out a disdainful sneer, his eyes full of contempt, and said, "I wonder how he cultivated to the Profound Immortal Realm."

However, Li Zhirui's actions served as a reminder to some of the Xuanxian that their bodies were more or less injured, making it impossible for them to unleash their full power.

Some people were still hesitant, unwilling to leave now, wanting to acquire one or two more spiritual items; others immediately realized their mistake, were very decisive, and left without any hesitation.

Putting yourself in danger just to get one or two more spiritual items is a very unwise choice!

Therefore, under Li Zhirui's lead, most of the Xuanxian cultivators whose strength had been damaged left Mount Ling ahead of schedule.

One after another, streaks of light flew from the mountains into the distance.

However, this situation caused some cultivators with ulterior motives to frown.

They had planned to strike suddenly when the spiritual resources in the mountains were almost depleted, targeting the already injured cultivators in order to obtain more spiritual resources.

They had even begun preparations, slowly approaching the wounded monks, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

But now, the cultivators who remain in the mountains are all of similar strength, and almost all of the injured have fled, so their plans have completely failed.

Some cultivators simply regarded Li Zhirui as the culprit who ruined their plans and harbored hatred towards him.

'Don't let me run into this person in the secret realm, or I'll teach him a lesson!'

……

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who had already left Lingshan, was completely unaware that he had incurred someone's wrath.

"With these spiritual items, this trip to the secret realm will not have been in vain."

Looking at the dozen or so spiritual objects that had been sent into the space to continue growing, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Many of the spiritual creatures he collected were of extremely high quality, but were not yet mature.

Anyway, Li Zhirui possesses a mysterious personal space, which is just a change of location for these spiritual creatures, so they can still continue to be nurtured.

Moreover, his approach had another advantage: no cultivator would compete with him for the spiritual item, thus avoiding a battle!

After dealing with those spiritual objects, he found a secluded, deserted place to meditate and recover.

After all, although the portal to the secret realm has now opened, he doesn't want to leave the secret realm so soon, so maintaining strong combat power is very necessary.

After some time, Li Zhirui set off again to continue searching for spiritual objects in the secret realm.

Roar!
Unexpectedly, he encountered a pack of wolf demons not far from where he had gone.

Their strength varies, with the powerful ones comparable to a Celestial Immortal at the peak of cultivation, and the weak ones not even reaching the Loose Immortal realm.

Although the wolf demons were not as strong as him, if they joined forces, they would still cause him some trouble.

The leader of the group looked at Li Zhirui with wary eyes, ready to retaliate immediately if he made a move.

"I meant no harm."

He had originally intended to make a move, but a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he decided to take the opportunity to try it out. He said, "I would like to ask, in which places within the secret realm do a large number of spiritual creatures grow?"

"If you answer truthfully, I can tell you the location of the portal to the secret realm!"

In his opinion, even if these demonic beasts left the secret realm and entered the Myriad Profound Realm, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Besides, he is not a being of the Myriad Profound Realm, so there is no need for him to think too much about the Myriad Profound Realm.

"About a thousand miles southeast of here, there is a huge lake with many islands in it, where a large number of spiritual creatures grow. However, that lake is very dangerous, not only because there are many demonic beasts, but also because there are several mysterious beings."

The wolf demon leader thought for a moment, then suggested a location.

Li Zhirui's heart stirred, and he memorized the location. He then told the other party the location of the secret realm's entrance and kindly reminded them, "Outside the secret realm is a Taiyi Golden Immortal level immortal power. With your strength, it will probably be difficult for you to survive."

After saying that, he flew toward the lake the wolf demon had mentioned.

The wolf demon, however, remained where it was, pondering this final, well-intentioned reminder.

It felt very strange. When did cultivators start offering well-intentioned advice to the demon race?
Therefore, it is more likely that these words have some purpose that it does not know!
But it really couldn't figure out what it was.

"Let's go!"

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

However, instead of leading its 'kin' to the portal to the secret realm, this leader went to another part of the secret realm.

……

He sped along the road, covering a distance of just over a thousand miles, and arrived at his destination in only half an hour.

Before me lay a vast lake whose boundaries seemed endless. Looking at the islands in the lake from a distance, they appeared as nothing more than tiny black dots.

"What dangers are in this lake that would warrant a special warning from that wolf demon?"

Li Zhirui cautiously leaned against the lake, wanting to know what was going on.

But as time went by, he still couldn't find anything wrong.

"Could it be that the wolf demon was lying to me?"

But that doesn't make sense!

Because if it weren't dangerous, it would be too strange to see any living creatures on the edge of such a large lake.

"What exactly is going on?" Li Zhirui muttered to himself, his eyes filled with curiosity.

His doubts were quickly answered!
As he threw a large chunk of flesh into the lake, the stench of blood began to spread.

A short while later, a large dark shadow appeared inside the lake.

Whoosh whoosh—

The next instant, figures leaped out of the water, revealing their forms. They were covered in silver light and were only about a foot long.

A special group of creatures live in the water. They look no different from ordinary fish, and they are not particularly strong. However, once they gather together, their strength will undergo a dramatic change.

Moreover, the more people gather, the stronger they become, and they can even reach a level comparable to a Perfected Mystic Immortal!

"No wonder, so there are these strange fish demons, which is why no living creature dares to approach them, for fear of being eaten by them." Li Zhirui quickly figured it all out.

But at the same time, he also developed a strong interest in those fish demons.

Why is it that a creature may be weak in its physical form, but can unleash greater power when gathered together with its own kind? (End of Chapter)
