Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 129 Yi Ling Returns
After Zhao Xiaotian and his family returned to their own yard.

Fang Li kept talking to Zhao Xianzong.

"Xianzong, you must earnestly learn from your cousin, okay?
As long as you study hard, you will be able to build a sacred forest in the future."

"I see.

Mom, I'm going to play with my sisters."

“What else are you playing?
You are not allowed to go to them anymore. You will start studying tomorrow. If you still want to play, I will beat your buttocks."

Zhao Xianzong seemed a little scared and ran to hide beside Zhao Xiaotian.

Fang Li frowned and wanted to say something.

Zhao Xiaotian spoke up.

"Okay, my son is still young, why are you telling him this?"

Fang Li raised her voice a few degrees.
"Ten years old, still young?
My nephews and nieces started learning at the age of five. Haven’t you heard about their deeds in Shenmu Lin?
The fact that they are where they are today is the result of their hard work since childhood.

Our son is already lagging behind. If he doesn’t catch up, how can he rank among the top Taoist temples and build a spiritual land in the future?”

"You think too much. There are millions of students entering the Taoist academy in Qingzhou every year, and only a small number of them can be admitted to the upper-level Taoist academy. How many people in the entire Qingzhou can compare with the five brothers and sisters of the Yi family?
They are about to become legends in Qingzhou, how can our son compare to them?
In my opinion, our son’s chances of getting into a higher-level Taoist academy are not high.

He will probably graduate from the Intermediate Taoist Academy in six years, just like many other immortal cultivators with natural spiritual roots."

"That's someone else. I have the same bloodline as my brother. My son can't be like those ordinary immortal cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots."

Fang Li said this with confidence.

Zhao Xiaotian was embarrassed to say that Yi Dong hadn't even graduated from the intermediate Taoist college.

"I don't have high expectations for Xianzong. I just hope that he can rebuild my Zhao family."

Fang Li had heard Zhao Xiaotian talk about the Zhao family.

Actually, this is not a secret.

Many cultivators of the Yi family knew the history of their family’s rise. The first step was to suppress the original seven families in Xia County.

The Zhao family was also one of the seven aristocratic families at the time, but this family was a bit tragic. After a large number of its members were massacred by immortal cultivators from outside the world, their property was confiscated by immortal officials. The family leaders were packed up and sent to the Immortal Prison, where they were transferred to become miners. The entire family fell apart.

Speaking of which, the Yi family was the culprit for the demise of the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiaotian probably had no thoughts of revenge, because the current Yi family was no longer a prominent family in the general sense.

Although he doesn't want revenge, Zhao Xiaotian may not want his son to learn from the Yi family.

But Fang Li did not allow this idea.

After her mother Fang Lin passed away, Fang Li once fantasized that her mother would take her away.

However, when she learned that her mother had taken many people from the Fang family to Yangzhou but had not contacted her at all, she knew that she had been abandoned by her mother.

After realizing this, Fang Li put aside her attitude, tried to please Dongfang Hong, and after much persuasion, she finally got a manager position in Shenmulin and a source of spirit stones.

Because of her identity, ordinary members of the Yi family did not dare to do anything to her. For example, when it came to promotion, no one dared to pressure Fang Li.

Fang Li was good at taking advantage of situations and with her own efforts, she soon became a manager in Shenmulin, managing thousands of immortal cultivators.

When she was in the Fang family, she knew that spirit stones were very difficult to earn.

But after becoming the manager of Shenmulin, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones passed through her hands.

She also knew that the Skyfire Array built in the Shenmu Forest consumed more than 30 billion spirit stones.

At that time, she knew that spirit stones were not difficult to earn for capable people.

She also had some understanding of the Yi family's income.

The main business is selling large quantities of Bu Tian Dan.

It is rumored that the Bu Tian Pill is a forbidden pill, but the Yi family sells it openly, and yet no immortal official comes to their door.

Therefore, becoming an immortal official in the immortal kingdom and holding power is proof of one’s ability.

Speaking of which, the reason why I first fell in love with Zhao Xiaotian was because he was handsome, worked seriously, and had a unique charm.

On the other hand, if someone wants to get close to the Yi family’s cultivators, they will be exiled.

Over time, Fang Li realized that it was impossible for her to find a Taoist partner in the Yi family, so she temporarily chose Zhao Xiaotian.

Originally, we wanted to be Taoist companions for a while and then end this relationship.

But she didn't expect that as they got along, she actually fell in love with him. In a daze, she gave birth to a son for him and promised to include her son in the Zhao family's genealogy.

Since she was helping Zhao Xiaotian give birth to a son who would not have her own surname, Fang Li naturally would not make the Bu Tian Dan.

Originally, Fang Li would not have only one son.

But who could have imagined that this son was actually his first child with natural spiritual roots.

This caused a drastic change in her thinking.

She seemed to have seen a new sacred forest, and seemed to see herself like Dongfang Hong, holding billions of spirit stones in her hands.

There are ready-made successful cases on how to raise a son.

From the experiences of her father and her eldest brother, it can be seen that whether children are filial or not depends on the care they receive in their childhood. So she doted on Zhao Xianzong and spent a lot of spirit stones to buy all kinds of spiritual food for her son.

Most members of the Yi family knew about the affairs of Yi Dong's five children, because many members of the Shenmulin clan were about the same age as them.

Many members of the Yi family can tell a thing or two about how Yi Dong educated his children when they were young.

After hearing the glorified stories of her five nephews, Fang Li would not end her Taoist relationship with Zhao Xiaotian for the sake of Zhao Xianzong.

As for Yi Mo's matter, Fang Li subconsciously ignored it.

"By the way, Xiaotian, aren't you ready to build your foundation?

I plan to buy you a foundation-building pill, but a foundation-building pill is not safe, so I'd better buy you a set of foundation-building procedures." Zhao Xiaotian frowned.

Although they are Taoist companions, Fang Li is already a Jindan cultivator, while he is only in the Qi Refining stage, so the gap in their wealth is quite large.

So the two of them managed their own property.

Usually Fang Li was very stingy and would only give him some cheap cultivation pills at most. He was not willing to buy him the foundation-building pills worth 2000 spirit stones.

Now he is buying a more expensive foundation-building package for himself, obviously because he doesn't want to get involved in Xianzong's education issues.

Even though Zhao Xiaotian knew what Fang Li was thinking, he had no choice but to accept it because he knew that he could not resist Fang Li.

Let’s not talk about the issue of cultivation.

In the entire Xia County, let alone the thirty-five weak families with only one spiritual vein, even the official immortal officials have to give face to the Yi family. It is hard to say how much effect the laws of the immortal country can have on the Yi family in Xia County.

Even if I make a fuss about Xianzong's identity, I'm afraid nothing good will come of it.

Besides, angering Fang Li might just be a nuisance. If it attracted the attention of the Yi family and made some members of the Yi family think that he hated Zijin Mountain, both he and his son might be killed quietly.

Ever since the appearance of the evil cultivators a few years ago, it seems that the situation has never subsided.

Now the appearance of demon cultivators has become somewhat regular.

The Yi family’s large spiritual land, apart from Purple Gold Mountain and Shenmu Forest, is also a place where demonic cultivators frequently appear.

Whenever a demon cultivator appears, he will kill some independent cultivators who are secretly dissatisfied with the Yi family.

Purple Mountain.

Yi Dong has been refining puppets.

Two years ago, Yi Dong discovered something, that is, his own puppet, the most important thing is the holy body made of bionic flesh and blood.

Apart from this, other things are not very important. It is enough to be able to make a puppet frame that can carry bionic flesh and blood.

In this way, Yidong's puppet-making steps were greatly improved.

Except for the bionic flesh and blood that needs to be made by oneself, everything else can be done by the puppet.

Yi Dong tried to let the Dajue puppet create bionic flesh and blood, but he was unable to create the Dajue puppet he needed.

After speeding up the progress, more than a hundred Great Awakening puppets walked out of the mountain every month.

In just two years, Yi Dong created three thousand Dajue puppets.

After finishing the puppet making, Yi Dong called No. 2.

Number Two took out some jade slips.

Yi Dong originally wanted to see how No. 2 was doing with his research on the five demon cultivators.

“Yi Qing released two of them.

And they have reached a cooperation with the Soul-Separating Sect to sell a large amount of Bu Tian Dan?"

This made Yi Dong frown.

But he became a little uneasy after reading what happened next.

He discovered that there was a characteristic in Yi Qing's management of Zijin Mountain's property, which was that only money came in and nothing went out.

The jade slip did not record how much resources the Lihun Sect gave.

Yi Dong only knew that Zijin Mountain, which originally had few spirit stones for refining puppets, had been basically drained dry by Yi Qing.

Not only the spiritual stones from Zijin Mountain, but also the resources used by Yi Jun and other three children to build the spiritual land were called upon by Yi Qing.

Nowadays, not only have the construction schedules of several other spiritual sites fallen far behind due to the shortage of spiritual stones, but some people are also causing trouble due to the arrears of spiritual stones.

And Yi Qing dealt with these problems by handing them over to the Lihun Sect.

Now, the three sacred places around Zijin Mountain are not only occupied by officials from Xia County, but even the provincial government’s Evil Suppression Office has sent people to station at those three sacred places.

In general, Yi Qing drained all the spirit stones from Zijin Mountain, which was not counted as Yi Dong's, and also got himself into a big trouble.

Yi Dong never thought of getting Zijin Mountain involved with the sect's power.

He is not very ambitious and just wants to spend the rest of his life comfortably. He does not want to get involved in the struggles between the immortal kingdoms and sects.

Before he even finished reading the jade slip, Yi Dong sent a message to Yi Fu.

Yi Fu came over quickly.

Compared with the records in the jade slips, Yi Fu had a more thorough understanding of what happened in Zijin Mountain in the past three years. Generally speaking, not only outsiders were oppressed, but many clansmen were also severely punished by Yi Qing or even removed from the family tree for various reasons.

"Although I don't take my family too seriously, I don't really treat it as a tool."

Yi Dong seemed to be thinking about something.

What does Yi Qing need so many spirit stones for?

“Notify Yi Qing and ask her to come back. Then, don’t let her interfere in the affairs of Zijin Mountain and the other three spiritual places.

Well, don't refine the Bu Tian Dan for now."

After Yi Fu left.

When Yi Dong was about to look at the other jade slips, something in his mind moved.

Through the formation, he sensed that Wuming had arrived at Zijin Mountain.

“We just happened to be short of spirit stones, Wuming came at the right time, oh, Yi Ling is back too.

What does she look like?

Yi Dong frowned even deeper.
