Rebuilding the Xiuxian family

The first thing Li Zhirui did when he returned to his family was to clean up the battlefield with his clan members, and at the same time purchase spiritual materials from casual cultivators.

Although the amount of spiritual materials was extremely large, the Li family did not deliberately lower the purchase price, which was only about 10% lower than usual.

And this has made many casual cultivators excited, and they all started to praise the Li family. You must know that the original price paid by Yuan Mingzong to purchase spiritual objects was at least 20% lower!

Of course, the Li family did not have the ability to eat all the spiritual creatures, so they had to give up after taking about 40% of the food from the casual cultivators.

After being busy for several hours, by the time Li Zhirui and others returned to Darong Island, the sky had become dark.

"Second brother, you are finally back. How is the situation with the beast tide?" Li Shilian asked repeatedly.

"It was a near miss, and the tribesmen did not suffer too many casualties."

But even with him in charge, a few unlucky clan members still died at the hands of the water demon.

"Zhirui, you..." Li Shilian then turned his attention away, and the first thing he saw was Li Zhirui standing on Li Shiqing's left side.

"Everyone is tired after a busy day. Let's wait until tomorrow to discuss anything." Li Shiqing interrupted Li Shilian, glanced at Li Zhirui, and said, "There will be a clan meeting tomorrow, and you cannot be absent."

He knew that Li Shiqing had many questions to ask, so he nodded in agreement, and then dispersed with his clan members.

Li Zhirui walked to the door of the small courtyard and looked at the courtyard, which he had not returned for several years but was still as clean as new. A feeling of solidity suddenly came to his heart.

"We're home!" He released Daqing and Xiaoqing and allowed them to move freely, while he himself entered the room and began daily practice.

Early the next morning, Li Zhirui went out to the main hall to attend this family meeting.

When he arrived, there were already many elders inside, but Li Zhirui was not familiar with them because he had hardly attended family meetings since he stepped down as acting clan leader.

Moreover, he has either been in seclusion or practicing outside these years. He has spent very little time in the family. Naturally, he is not familiar with these elders and only greeted each other politely.

Not long after, all the clan members who were supposed to come arrived.

As the clan leader, Li Zhizhun was the first to speak: "Preliminary statistics show that this beast wave caused the death of five clansmen and dozens of clansmen were injured. The injuries are not serious."

"The beast tide was also blocked from the island chain and did not cause much damage to the three Sequoia Islands..."

As for Darong Island, only a few water monsters came to attack, because usually, the tribesmen would practice nearby.

There are two benefits to doing this. One is to improve strength through fighting, and the other is to reduce the number of water monsters. As a result, all water monsters within a hundred miles of radius were wiped out by the tribesmen.

As for the dozens of water monsters that attacked Darong Island, the reason why they were able to escape was probably because they turned into monsters recently.

All in all, although there were some losses in this beast wave, it can only be regarded as a minor bruise for the current Li family and does not have much impact.

"The harvest is the various spiritual objects bought from casual cultivators. After being processed, the family should be able to earn a lot of spiritual stones from them."

After Li Zhizhun finished speaking, Li Shiqing spoke, "Through this beast wave, we can see that although the family has developed rapidly, it is still lacking in many aspects."

"For example, the preparation of spiritual objects is not sufficient, the reaction is not fast enough, and the preparation ability is weak, so that for a period of time, various spiritual elixirs and talismans cannot be purchased..."

During that time, many casual cultivators left the battlefield for safety reasons. After all, no one had the elixir to restore mana and could not replace it in time.

If it weren't for Li Shiqing, the golden elixir monk, who came to help several times, the island chain would not be able to stop the water demon at all.

Most of the fallen and injured tribesmen encountered accidents at this time.

"The beast tide is over, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. We must learn from the experience and lessons learned this time to ensure that a similar situation won't happen again next time."

Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads after hearing these words, because most of the elders stayed in the family to organize and prepare logistics.

"After today, I won't mention these things again, please remember them!"

Li Shiqing said solemnly: "Precisely, prepare for the funerals of those five clan members. Every clan member must participate!"

"yes!"

"If there's nothing else, just go get busy." Li Shiqing waved his hand, looked at Li Zhirui, who was sitting in the corner and said nothing, and said, "Zhirui, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Li Zhirui stood up and followed him out of the main hall, and Li Shilian followed him after thinking about it.

"Tell me, when you go home this time, are you going to retreat to break through the golden elixir?" Li Shiqing asked impatiently as soon as he entered the back hall.

Li Zhirui nodded and smiled: "You didn't disappoint Grandpa Second, did you?"

"Okay, okay! Only in this way can our Li family have a successor!"

Li Shilian on the side was also full of excitement and joy, but after he calmed down, he frowned and said: "Zhi Rui's breakthrough is indeed a good thing, but if the news is leaked, Yuan Mingzong may be detrimental to Zhi Rui!"

It's not that there are spies within the family, but when Li Zhirui breaks through and overcomes the tribulation, Yuan Mingzong will definitely know about it as soon as possible and will probably interfere with it.

"this……"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhirui and Li Shiqing were stunned. They really didn't expect this.

"Is it possible that Zhi Rui should not be in seclusion on Darong Island to survive the calamity?"

Li Shilian nodded. That's what he thought. He even inquired about it and said, "There is a cave in Qingshan Prefecture that provides monks with retreats and tribulations."

"As long as you pay enough spirit stones, monks will be specially arranged to help protect the law, and no one will disturb the tribulation.

Then Zhirui quietly went to Qingshan Prefecture, and if the family pretended to be in seclusion on the island, they wouldn't have to worry about Yuan Mingzong's manipulation. "

In fact, these Tribulation Cave Houses are mainly provided for casual cultivators, and the prices are indeed not cheap. The minimum rent is one year, and the rent is 50,000 spirit stones. If it exceeds one day, it will also be counted as the price for one year.

Many casual cultivators actually cannot produce so many spiritual stones. After all, in order to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible, they simply cannot keep spiritual stones in their hands.

At this time, the store will thoughtfully provide a second plan, which is to join the force behind them, become a guest elder, and serve that force.

And this is the real purpose of the Tribulation Cave Mansion.

But Li Zhirui doesn't have to worry about the spiritual stone, because even if he can't get it, his family will help pay for it!

"Okay!" Li Shiqing said without hesitation: "In a few days, Zhirui, you will secretly leave the family and go to Qingshan Prefecture to retreat to survive the tribulation, and we will arrange for the clan members to spread the news and mislead Yuan Mingzong."

Happy New Year!
