Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1794 - 1366: Pending Revision

Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
The Li family celebrates the news of Li Zhirui's breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, a feat that shocks other forces. Nearby sects debate how to respond to the Li family's sudden rise, with many elders dismissing the threat despite their leader's warnings. After ten years in seclusion consolidating his realm, Li Zhirui emerges to find rumors questioning his breakthrough. The family plans a grand ceremony to celebrate and dispel doubts, which Li Zhirui reluctantly agrees to attend.

Through a stroke of immense fortune, Li Zhirui once gained entry into the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall of the Chaos Commerce. During that time, he assisted a senior in purifying the impurities within his body, thereby earning the senior's high regard. Through a daring gamble, he walked away with thirty thousand Spirit Crystals.

He wasted no time in spending that wealth, purchasing more than ten varieties of Heavenly Immortal Rank Spirit Seeds and various Jade Slips intended to expand his perspective and deepen his understanding.

Consequently, he suffers no shortage of Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects or Pill Recipes; his only constraint is the time required to research and master them.

"That's right! Jiu, among the many Spiritual Objects you provided before your seclusion, several have been extinct in the Primal Spirit Realm for ages. Now you even claim to have mastered a Heavenly Immortal Rank Pill Recipe. Just where did you acquire such rare treasures?" Xiaoqing inquired, her face radiating curiosity.

The others shifted their attention toward him as well, with Jiang Fengwu contributing, "Within the Void, the Chaos shouldn't naturally produce such Spiritual Objects."

Li Zhirui offered a smile and chose to reveal the source of his luck, seeing no reason for secrecy. The Chaos Commerce is an entity of unfathomable power. Unless they choose to lead the way, no amount of effort will allow one to find their tracks.

Only those who have previously stepped inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall can sense its proximity, or perhaps receive a formal invitation when the commerce organizes an auction.

"Does such a wondrous commerce truly exist within the Void?"

A sense of longing filled everyone as they listened to his account of the Chaos Commerce. It was a place filled with diverse and precious treasures; even the Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects they considered priceless were viewed there as the most basic and inexpensive items available.

"Jiu, could you describe the precious Spiritual Objects found in the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall? Let us expand our horizons as well."

As Xiaoqing spoke, the others gazed at him with such intense, eager eyes that it felt as though their stares might burn him.

Observing this, Li Zhirui laughed and gave them a light scolding. "Looking at you all now, it is obvious you haven't properly examined the Jade Slips I left you before my retreat. The knowledge from everything I bought back then is contained within them!"

"That's impossible! We definitely studied all the Jade Slips! There is no way we missed anything!" Xiaoqing shot back immediately.

"Is that so?"

Shaking his head, he spoke plainly, "You have all likely focused only on the Jade Slips concerning Cultivation and Divine Power, haven't you? Did any of you actually read the travelogues or the catalogues of Spiritual Objects?"

It wasn't just this group; it was probable that the entire family had ignored those specific Jade Slips. Had they discovered the secrets within, they couldn't possibly remain so uninformed!

"Uh..."

Caught in their oversight, Xiaoqing and the others bowed their heads in shame.

"Fine then, when you find the time in the future, head to the Scripture Pavilion to search for them and read."

Noticing they were still lingering, Li Zhirui laughed and urged them away. "Go on, hurry up. Since you are so set on throwing a grand celebration for me, start the preparations now so we don't miss the auspicious hour."

Once they had departed, he remained seated instead of getting up, acting as though he was expecting a visitor.

Sure enough, Li Zhixuan, who had left with the others, returned shortly after.

"What is it? Do you need something?"

Li Zhirui had stayed behind because he received her sound transmission, though he wasn't certain what she wished to discuss in private.

"Jiu, you said before that when you helped that senior purge his impurities, it caused his bottleneck to tremble. Was that the truth?"

Li Zhirui understood her intent the moment she asked; she was considering the same path.

However, Li Zhirui realized the problem and hesitated before saying, "This particular method might not be right for you."

"The Sword Dao of Slaughter that you follow naturally draws Evil Qi and a Killing Aura into you during your Cultivation. Over time, these forces have fused with your very flesh and Spiritual Energy."

"Ironically, these elements are suppressed by the Path of Purification. If I were to try and assist you, I wouldn't be helping; I might actually cause you harm."

Stunned by his explanation, Li Zhixuan fell into a sudden silence, her eyes turning hollow as she drifted into deep reflection.

He didn't move to break her focus, sitting quietly and letting her process the information until she reached an understanding.

After a long silence, she regained her composure and said, "I was mistaken; there truly are no shortcuts on the path of Cultivation."

Perhaps shortcuts exist, but they were either out of her reach or demanded a price too high to pay.

"Your lifespan isn't an issue, so there is no reason to feel anxious or troubled. Just proceed at a steady pace," Li Zhirui said, offering comfort.

Li Zhixuan gave a soft nod. She had indeed been a bit restless, and the shock of his breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm had tempted her to use this method to force her own Realm forward.

"I won't bother you any longer, Jiu."

After saying her goodbyes, she walked away, silently reflecting on how she needed to temper her Mental State. It was currently too easy to unsettle, which boded ill for her future Cultivation.

Li Zhirui didn't try to talk her out of it further; there was no point. Eventually, Li Zhixuan would figure it out herself. A trial like this, which serves as a Cultivation barrier, is best conquered alone. If others provide the answer, the growth gained is far less effective.

With only six months remaining until the grand celebration, he chose not to return to secluded meditation. Instead, he pulled out a Heavenly Immortal Rank Pill Recipe to begin his research.

When he had first bought the recipe, he had also acquired the necessary Spirit Seeds for Alchemy since they were quite cheap. After years of being planted, they had been harvested several times, providing him with enough materials for several refinement attempts.

"It certainly earns its reputation as a Heavenly Immortal Rank Spirit Pill!"
