Rebuilding the Xiuxian family

At this time, Li Zhirui did not know the news of Li Zhiyue's death. He was still practicing, refining elixirs, and studying elixir prescriptions.

However, Jiang Fengwu came out of seclusion. Hearing Li Wenli's words, he sighed softly and said, "Zhirui is still in seclusion. As my sister-in-law, I can go in his place."

Li Zhiyue's funeral was not grand, it was even completed quietly.

And because there was no body of hers, a tomb could only be erected. The long inscription recorded her life story.

Of course, the content is somewhat embellished.

After all, if juniors come to pay homage in the future, we can’t let them see the bad side of our ancestors, right?

It was not until more than half a year after the funeral that Li Zhirui came out of the quiet room.

"You have been in seclusion for such a long time, yet you haven't broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage?" Jiang Fengwu, who was sitting in the pavilion, asked with some surprise.

"It's not that easy." Li Zhirui shook his head. He estimated that it would be enough in another ten or twenty years.

Is this long? To a mortal, one-third of his life may have passed, but to him, it was just the blink of an eye.

But if there is any opportunity, it should be earlier.

"What? What do you want to say?" Seeing Jiang Fengwu's hesitation, Li Zhirui asked proactively.

"Zhiyue passed away half a year ago."

Li Zhirui staggered as if he was struck by lightning. He had been looking forward to this in his heart, hoping that Li Zhiyue could obtain spiritual objects such as fleshy Ganoderma lucidum and continue on the path to immortality.

But when I heard the news about her again, it was such bad news!

"A month ago, Zhiyue's two spiritual beasts sent her body back to Ten Thousand Immortals Island." Jiang Fengwu hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Zhirui.

She is also practicing the "All Souls Sutra" now, so of course she knows the method to terminate the contract. When she saw the two spiritual beasts before, she was filled with emotions.

Before Li Zhiyue died, he had to suffer the pain of tearing apart the origin of his soul, just so that the two spiritual beasts could survive.

"Where is Zhiyue's body? Where are they?" After a long time, Li Zhirui found his voice and asked with pain.

"The body has been buried, and the two spiritual beasts left after conducting the funeral."

What are they going to do? There is a high probability that he is going to avenge Li Zhiyue!

Even though they knew that they were no match for the fourth-level puppet, they were driven by hatred and could not care about anything else. They only thought about revenge, even if it meant death.

"That's all."

Li Zhirui originally wanted them to stay in the family and live peacefully, but now that they had made their own choice, he could only respect it.

"I want to visit Zhiyue's graveyard alone."

After that, he slowly walked towards the family cemetery.

It was a small hill. There was not a single sound of insects or birds. It was extremely quiet. There were nearly a thousand tombstones erected on it!

Each tombstone represents a clan member. Some contain ashes, some only have clothes, but there is absolutely no body.

Because the aura on Ten Thousand Immortals Island is rich, if the corpses are buried, they may turn into zombies in a few decades.

Not only that, mortals on the island are not allowed to bury bodies.

Li Zhirui stood in front of a brand-new tombstone for a long time and left without saying a word.

"I haven't come to pay my respects to Second Grandpa for many years."

Walking a few steps up, you will find the gravesites of elders such as Li Shiqing and Li Shilian.

When they were buried, Li Zhirui was seriously injured and unable to attend. He paid homage once afterwards, but he never came again since then.

At first, I was afraid of seeing things and missing people, so I didn't dare to come, but gradually, I forgot about it.

"Time is truly the greatest and most terrifying thing!"

Looking at these tombstones with a sense of age, Li Zhirui wiped them clean one by one carefully. Unknowingly, he had tears streaming down his face.

"Second Grandpa, don't worry, everyone, the family is doing well now, and its strength has improved a lot..."

"Did you know? Zhixuan has also broken through to the Nascent Soul, and has become the successor of the ancestor who transformed into gods..."

"The Heavenly Spiritual Root that you were thinking about back then is now in your family..."

He talked to himself for a long time, and did not leave the cemetery until the sun set in the west and the sunset filled the sky.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Fengwu asked with worry on his face when he saw Li Zhirui's eyes were red.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

He really had nothing to do. As a Yuanying monk, it goes without saying how strong his willpower is. Indulging yourself for half a day is enough to digest it.

In the following days, Li Zhirui returned to his daily routine before the retreat.

Focus on guiding the three of them, Li Chengsheng, hoping that they can make further progress before the Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Immortals opens. Even if they can't, it would be better if their strength can increase a little.

Of course, in addition to them, Li Zhirui also gives pointers to other juniors from time to time, hoping that they can go further and do better.

A few years later.

Li Chengsheng's hard work has finally paid off, and he is about to break through to the late stage of the Golden Elixir!

"Is Sheng'er's cultivation speed too fast?" Jiang Fengwu asked uneasily.

Li Zhirui shook his head and said: "It's a little faster, but it's not a big problem. The foundation Sheng'er laid before is solid and thick enough, and it won't affect his future cultivation."

How could he possibly make fun of his own son's path?

Even after receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Fengwu's worries still did not diminish, and he was always paying attention to the quiet room where Li Chengsheng was retreating.

It wasn't until half a month later that there was an aura coming from the quiet room, and she was gulping down the spiritual energy in the spiritual realm, that she was completely relieved.

"Do you believe me now?" Li Zhirui smiled.

Jiang Fengwu rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to respond.

More than a month later, the wooden door of the quiet room was opened, and Li Chengsheng, who had consolidated his state of mind, walked out with a sudden stride.

The face that had always been expressionless now had a bright smile.

Of course he is happy. You must know that Li Chengsheng is only two hundred years old now and is already in the late stage of Jindan. He has more than three hundred years to pursue Yuanying!

Although it does not mean that the longer the time, the more breakthrough will be achieved, but at least the hope is greater, not to mention that he also has a pair of Nascent Soul parents who can get some key guidance.

"Father! Mother! My child has lived up to your expectations!" Li Chengsheng said loudly.

"Okay, okay! You did a great job!"

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu were very happy and encouraged him to keep up his efforts and use the remaining few years to enhance his strength.

Despite Li Chengsheng's outstanding performance, Li Zhirui, who has personally been to the Secret Land of Ten Thousand Immortals, said that there are many people who are better than him! So you absolutely cannot slack off.

"My brother has succeeded in making a breakthrough. I don't know when I will be able to do it." Li Chengshuo was a little depressed and confused.

She has been working really hard during this period, but she still feels that she is far away from breaking through to the late stage of Jindan, so she feels confused and doesn't know what to do.
