Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road
Chapter 524: Retreat in the Same Year
The one hundred and seventy year of the Qingli period.
It has been four years since the Li family last tested out a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots.
Above the inner city of Changqing City, a cultivator flew over on a sword, causing surprise among a group of cultivators.
"Is my perception correct? The guy who just flew past from the sky is at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"
"Yes, it is the sixth level of Qi Refining. I can sense it. The sixth level of Qi Refining can control objects. I have heard of it before, but I have never heard of it..."
"He is a young man I don't know. He must be a cultivator born in the Li family in recent years."
"The cultivators of the Li family are truly amazing."
"Of course not. This is a family of Nascent Soul cultivators. Not to mention our entire Qing Kingdom, even the neighboring Lu and Yue Kingdoms do not have any Nascent Soul-level forces. A few years ago, a cultivator with a natural spiritual root was born in the Li family. I think he must be the cultivator with a natural spiritual root without a doubt."
The cultivator who just flew over the inner city of Changqing City was naturally Li Tongxin.
Li Tongxin wanted to go home to see his mother. He hadn't seen his mother for more than four years. He could use the sword flying skills he had just learned to go home to see her.
"You old fellow, I know that the Li family had a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots four years ago, but you are too shameless! You said that you were the first to test out a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots. The Li family has a special test for the spiritual roots of children, so why do they need an old fellow like you?"
"Mr. Feng, you only heard half of what I said, didn't you? He went in the wrong direction on his way to test his spiritual roots, and when he met me, I took him there and tested his spiritual roots..."
"Stop, stop, stop talking. My ears are getting callused from listening to you. I know what you're going to say next. This test actually found out that you have a natural spiritual root. It's a story that sounds pretty convincing, except that no one can testify for you."
"Forget it if you don't believe me. I think you're jealous!"
The two old monks were constantly arguing. If Li Tongxin flew over here and looked down, he would definitely recognize one of the old monks, the old man from before.
The outer city of Changqing City.
As soon as Li Tongxin's mother went out, something fell from the sky.
When she looked closely, she found that it was her son who had become a monk. At this moment, she was overjoyed and quickly ran to Li Tongxin and helped him up.
"Mom." Li Tongxin scratched his head awkwardly.
This was not what he had expected. Originally, he could have stopped at the door of his house in a very handsome manner, then put away his flying sword. In his imagination, the whole set of movements would have been as smooth as flowing water.
As a result, the outer city was too big, and he couldn't find his home for a while. He flew several times and finally found his home. However, the spiritual power in his sea of qi was insufficient, so the scene just now appeared.
"Tongxin, why did you come back instead of cultivating well in your ancestral land?"
"Mom, aren't you happy that I'm back?"
"I am happy, but cultivation is more important. I heard that you are extremely talented. You will definitely be the patron saint of our entire Li family in the future! The key is to cultivate well."
"I just came out to see you because I have made a breakthrough in my cultivation."
The mother knew the importance of Li Tongxin's cultivation and felt that it was a waste of time for her to come out and see a mortal like her, but she could not hide the joy in her heart.
“It’s only one day.”
"It's been long enough. Come in with me and I'll tell you about your past few years..."
The mother kept talking as she walked, and she never stopped talking. Li Tongxin put away his flying sword and followed his mother into the house.
……
The ancestral home of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
As long as the Li family stays honestly in the area of the three small countries, the Ming royal family will have no idea about the Li family, but they still have to collect information about the Li family.
"Uncle, this news is about Li Tongxin, the Li family's spiritual root cultivator."
"The Li family has given birth to a third cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root. Wasn't there news a few years ago? How could there be any news now?"
The cultivators with natural spiritual roots in the Nascent Soul forces can basically cultivate to the Jindan stage smoothly. When we get this news, we can judge that within the next hundred years, a Jindan cultivator will be born in the Li family.
To them, this news is neither important nor unimportant.
For Yuanying-level forces, it is difficult for Jindan cultivators to have any major impact, but Jindan cultivators are also the backbone.
"Li Tongxin of the Li family is suspected to have a special physique."
"Special physique... With a natural spiritual root and a special physique, maybe the Li family will give birth to a Nascent Soul cultivator in three or four hundred years."
This is indeed important news.
If the Li family only has Li Qianqing, a Nascent Soul cultivator, then the Li family, as a Nascent Soul cultivating family, will only last for about six or seven hundred years. If another Nascent Soul cultivator is born in the next three or four hundred years, the Li family will be a Nascent Soul cultivating family for at least a thousand years.
In the history of the Five Kingdoms, there are not many Yuanying cultivation families that have been around for thousands of years. Many of them were lucky enough to produce one Yuanying cultivator, but no more Yuanying cultivators were born after that.
"Uncle, should we do something? This Li Tongxin from the Li family..."
"Shut up."
"Yes."
"I know what you want to say. Our attitude towards the Li family remains unchanged. Don't even think about attacking Li Tongxin. If you cause a fight between us and the Li family, the entire Five Kingdoms will be in chaos. Do you understand?"
The Li family has a very good relationship with the Demon Valley. If a dispute arises between the two Nascent Soul forces, the Demon Valley is likely to intervene, while the Tiandao Sect usually watches the show from the side first and then finds the right opportunity to intervene.
As long as the Li family does not cause trouble, they can maintain a fairly friendly attitude towards the Li family.
"I understand, I understand." The Ming Dynasty royal family Jindan cultivator who reported the news said repeatedly.
The order was given from above a long time ago. He thought that the birth of a cultivator with natural spiritual roots or a special physique in the Li family would make the elders change their minds. If he had known this would happen, he would not have said it.
If you think about it carefully, if there is a conflict between the Ming Dynasty royal family and the Li family, then the Ming Dynasty's cultivation world will be in chaos first, and then the Fanyang Kingdom's cultivation world will also be in chaos, and finally the entire Five Kingdoms will be in chaos.
When it comes to collecting information about the Li family, the Tianyang Sect and the Xingxiu Sect of Fanyang Kingdom are more active than the Ming royal family.
They knew earlier than the Ming royal family that the Li family had given birth to Li Tongxin, a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, and that this Li Tongxin also possessed a special physique. Now they are completely sure of this news.
If there is chaos in the Ming Dynasty, the initiative is still in the hands of the Ming royal family. If there is chaos in Fanyang, the initiative is in the hands of the Li family.
Tianyang Sect and Xingxiu Sect had no idea about Li Tongxin, who had a natural spiritual root and a special physique, and they did not hold a meeting for it.
Li Tongxin may just be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, but that is not a certainty.
And this will happen three or four hundred years later, who knows what will happen in these years.
……
Fanyang Kingdom, Liyue City.
Li Xunming went out for three years to gain some small gains, but nothing major.
Now, sixteen years have passed since he cultivated to the peak of Jindan stage. After returning from this experience outside, he plans to go into seclusion to reach the Yuanying stage.
Thirteen years plus three years of training outside, he had prepared for sixteen years. With the Yuanchu Qi and a portion of fairy spring water, he was somewhat confident that he could break the pill and become an infant. After returning to Liyue City, he first went to find Liu Mingjuan.
"Palace Master Liu." Li Xunming still called out as usual.
"Did you gain anything from this experience outside?" Liu Mingjuan asked Li Xunming.
"It's a bit rewarding."
Liu Mingjuan nodded, "That's good."
It seems that Li Xunming's luck is still good. She has been to many places in Fanyang Country, but as for gains, there is basically nothing.
"This time I came here to tell you, Palace Master Liu, that I want to go into seclusion to achieve my Nascent Soul stage." He was to assist in the management of Liyue City, so naturally he could not assist during the seclusion period.
However, it actually doesn't make much difference whether Liyue City has his assistance or not, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go out and gain experience with peace of mind.
But he still had to say this to Liu Mingjuan to show his respect for her.
"It seems that Xunming, you are ready. I hope that when you come out of seclusion, you will be in the Nascent Soul stage." Liu Mingjuan gave her blessings.
Li Xunming had communicated with her many times over the years, especially after he had reached the peak of the Jindan stage. At that time, their main topic of discussion was breaking through the elixir and becoming an infant. Liu Mingjuan also talked a lot about her own experience of breaking through to the Yuanying stage.
She hoped that Li Xunming could break through the pill and become an infant, so that the Li family would have two Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Thank you!"
Li Xunming accepted Liu Mingjuan's blessing, and after a brief chat, he left.
The place where he was in seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul stage was not where he lived. His residence could be used for daily practice of a late Nascent Soul cultivator, but it was not the place with the richest spiritual energy in Liyue City. The concentration of spiritual energy in the place where he was in seclusion had reached the upper limit of this world.
Before officially starting to retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage, I naturally have to tell Thirteenth Grandpa the news.
In addition to communicating with Liu Mingjuan, he read many times about Thirteenth Grandpa's experience in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage after reaching the peak of the Jindan stage. This jade slip was brought to him by Thirteenth Grandpa when he came to Liyue City in Fanyang Country.
"If I have the chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I must go outside and take a look." Li Xunming couldn't help but say before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
What he meant by going outside and taking a look was leaving the land of the Five Kingdoms and going somewhere else.
If there is a chance, it would be great to leave the Nanming area and go to the other three areas to gain experience.
He had the opportunity to go to the Misty Rainforest before, but he could not meet Thirteenth Grandpa’s conditions. He could not meet it then, and he cannot meet it now.
At that time, Li Qianqing asked Li Xunming to use his strongest means of escape to escape from his hands when he used 30% of his strength.
Thirteenth Grandpa made this condition, which meant that he had no intention of going, so he had no choice but to give up.
After adjusting his condition, Li Xunming officially began to strive for the Nascent Soul stage.
Qingguo.
Evergreen Mountain.
When Li Qianqing received the sound transmission note from Li Xunming, Li Xunting happened to be by his side.
Seeing Li Xunming's sound transmission note, he quickly received the contents of the note.
"Thirteenth Grandpa, what did Xunming say in the sound transmission note?" Li Xunting asked curiously.
Li Qianqing did not answer directly, but said, "You should be able to guess it easily."
After being reminded by Li Qianqing, Li Xunting immediately understood.
"He has started his retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded. Li Xunting should also be in seclusion soon to impact the Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't know exactly when Li Xunting would start her seclusion, so he took this opportunity to ask directly, "Tingting, when do you plan to start your seclusion to impact the Nascent Soul stage?"
"As for me." Li Xunting smiled mysteriously, "Of course I'll pick a good day."
"Good days?"
Li Qianqing thought about it and wondered if there were any good days recently.
"I originally wanted to tell you later, but now that Xunming has started his retreat to reach his Nascent Soul stage, I'll tell you straight away that I plan to officially start next month."
next month……
It is January now and next month is February.
For them monks, there seemed to be no good days next month... Li Qianqing soon thought of something.
"Tingting, you are not planning to go into seclusion on my birthday, are you?"
After forming the elixir, birthdays are usually celebrated once when one is exactly 100 years old. Li Qianqing, who was 400 years old a few years ago, had already celebrated it once, but he was still a long way from 500 years old.
"Yes." Li Xunting nodded. She planned to do so. In her opinion, that time of year was a good day.
"Next month, then."
Li Xunting chose this day to go into seclusion, so Li Qianqing naturally had no objection.
The fact that she chose to go into seclusion this year means that Li Xunting was probably ready in the second half of last year, but if she wanted to choose such a day, she could only do it this year.
Having talked about this, the grandfather and grandson started talking about the topic of breaking the elixir and forming an infant.
Li Qianqing had already written down in his experience how to make a more stable breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. When talking about this aspect now, Li Qianqing emphasized more on the matters that need to be paid attention to in the process of breaking through the pill and becoming a Nascent Soul stage.
A month later, Li Xunting began to retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
After Li Qianqing watched Li Xunting enter the cave where he had been in seclusion to achieve his Nascent Soul stage, on the way back, he saw Li Tongxin arriving on a flying sword.
"Clan leader!"
Li Tongxin landed in front of Li Qianqing, put away his flying sword, and thought he had done a very cool move.
"Tongxin, are you ready to build your foundation?"
From the time when his spiritual roots were detected to now, more than eight years have passed, and Li Tongxin has already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Li Tongxin, who possesses the body of a sword spirit, has a faster cultivation speed than ordinary cultivators with natural spiritual roots. His special physique not only helps in breaking through realms, but also has a certain bonus on the speed of cultivation.
Among the first two cultivators with natural spiritual roots in the family, Li Zhonghao stayed in the Qi Refining Stage for nearly ten years, while Li Yiqing stayed there even longer because of his technique. Li Tongxin was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in less than nine years.
"Yes, clan leader." Li Tongxin nodded, "I came to you just to tell you that I am going to retreat."
There is no need to prepare anything for the retreat to build the foundation for the Heavenly Spiritual Root. After cultivating to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can directly retreat to break through. If you have a skill with corresponding attributes for the tenth level of Qi Refining, you can also cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
For a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, the significance of cultivating to the tenth level of Qi Refining is less than that of cultivators with other spiritual roots. The main purpose of cultivators with other spiritual roots cultivating to the tenth level of Qi Refining is to have more possibilities to break through to the foundation-building stage.
