156: Chapter 156 Successfully Surviving the Tribulation, Inventorying the Spoils of War

Li Luochen was no ordinary person, nor was he an ordinary Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator. When he saw the seventh bolt of lightning, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, he actually charged up to meet the lightning, bathing his entire body in the thunderbolts.

The lightning continuously bombarded Li Luochen's body, and was quickly refined by the Five Elements Golden Body Art, as well as by his Primordial Spirit and Nascent Soul, actually slowly raising his cultivation base.

"Exhilarating, truly exhilarating! To think that this tribulation lightning is actually the best treasure for raising one's cultivation base."

Li Luochen discovered that the tribulation lightning was the ultimate treasure for raising his cultivation. Once his cultivation stabilized, the remaining lightning bolts were all treasures that helped boost his cultivation base.

After the seventh bolt of lightning dissipated, the aura on Li Luochen's body grew several points stronger.

Immediately afterward, his gaze turned toward the clouds in the sky, waiting for the eighth bolt of lightning to descend.

As time slowly passed, no injuries appeared on his body, and his eyes grew even more determined.

"Rumble!"

The eighth bolt of lightning crashed down with a boom, and was once again used by him to temper his Physical Body and raise his cultivation. This lightning did not cause him any harm at all; instead, it brought great benefits.

After surviving the eighth bolt of lightning, Li Luochen could clearly sense that his Physical Body was only a single step away from breaking through to the Fifth Rank Middle Stage.

Sensing the strength of his Physical Body, he felt some anticipation for the final bolt of lightning. Perhaps, with the help of this last bolt, he could push his Physical Body into the Fifth Rank Middle Stage, equivalent to the combat power of the Middle Stage Soul Transformation.

By then, in terms of physical defense alone, he would already be comparable to a Fifth Rank Medium Grade Magic Treasure.

Under Li Luochen's expectant gaze, the ninth bolt of lightning rapidly descended, striking his body with a heavy crash.

This time, the lightning was incredibly powerful, almost shattering Li Luochen's Physical Body.

But because of this, it also allowed Li Luochen's Physical Body cultivation to break through to the Fifth Rank Middle Stage, equivalent to a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Physical Body.

At the same time, Li Luochen's Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit also received a significant boost. Although they had not yet reached the Middle Stage Soul Transformation level, they were much stronger than those of an ordinary Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator.

As the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, a trace of reluctance flashed in Li Luochen's eyes.

If only there could be a few more bolts of lightning, combined with the cultivation resources on his person, perhaps he could have broken through to the Middle Stage Soul Transformation.

But it didn't matter for now; as long as he had enough resources, his cultivation would soon break through to the Middle Stage Soul Transformation.

Only after the dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed did Li Luochen return to Hidden Dragon Island.

The clan members quickly gathered around, surrounding Li Luochen right in the center.

"Family Head, you've broken through?"

"Yes, Family Head! I didn't expect your Physical Body's strength to be so immense. Did you Cultivate some special Cultivation Technique?"

"Fool, the Scripture Pavilion of our Family has the Five Elements Golden Body Art that the Family Head Cultivates. If you want to Cultivate it, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion to learn it at any time."

"That's right, the Family Head is clearly cultivating the Five Elements Golden Body Art. This technique is indeed powerful."

"Hehe, my cultivation has already reached the Golden Core Stage. I plan to Cultivate this technique alongside my current one."

"Don't say another word, I also plan to practice this technique, cultivating both my Physical Body and my Dharmic power simultaneously."

Hearing the clan members' discussion, Li Luochen did not say much. This was their own choice, and he highly supported them in making it.

Li Luochen's Physical Body, Nascent Soul, and Primordial Spirit Advanced hand-in-hand. When cultivated to the end, he could completely achieve Perfection in essence, Qi, and spirit. Even if he achieved Immortal Ascension, he would be an incredibly powerful immortal.

After all, other people either cultivated their Physical Body or their Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit; very few people cultivated all three simultaneously.

Li Luochen shook his head and said, "Alright, if you want to Cultivate it, go find the technique and start. Don't crowd around here now. Next, I have a task to assign to you all."

Hearing him say this, the gazes of all the Li Family members turned toward him, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Family Head, what is it?"

"Yes, Family Head, if you have any instructions, just say the word."

Li Luochen said, "How about this: after the Second Rank Medium Grade Spirit Medicines are harvested in three years, I plan to upgrade all of the Family's Spiritual Veins to the Fourth Rank Top-Grade. What do you all think?"

Li Yanlong spoke up, "Family Head, we would certainly like that, but we don't have that many Spirit Stones."

"Although the Spirit Stones harvested every year are quite numerous, it is definitely not enough to upgrade all seven of the Family's Spiritual Veins to the Fourth Rank Top-Grade, right?"

Li Luochen shook his head and said, "There's no rush for now. Just nurture the Spirit Medicines well, and you'll find out when the time comes."

Hearing him say this, the other members of the Li Family nodded one after another.

In any case, for them, they only needed to obey orders; nothing else mattered.

If they could truly upgrade the Family's Spiritual Veins, it would also bring immense benefits to them.

In truth, the reason Li Luochen had such great confidence was mainly that during the Immortal-Demon War, he had slain quite a few Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Demon Race, obtaining their Storage Rings.

Although most of the treasures inside those Storage Rings belonged to the Demon Race, the resources they had plundered from Human Race Cultivators were also quite substantial.

If these resources could be put to use, they would be more than enough to upgrade the Spiritual Veins.

Furthermore, since returning, he had been in a state of secluded cultivation and had not yet had the time to inspect those resources.

Perhaps after inspecting his harvest this time, he would be fully capable of upgrading the Family's Spiritual Veins to the Fourth Rank Top-Grade.

With this in mind, Li Luochen greeted his clan members and then returned to his own Immortal Cave.

As for the Triple-Speed Cultivation Chamber, just as Li Luochen came out, Zhou Xin went in to Cultivate.

After returning to his Immortal Cave, Li Luochen quickly took out a Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring was obtained from the Demon Race leader, a powerful expert of the Middle Stage Soul Transformation Demon Race. He wondered what kind of good things were inside.

Taken out along with these things were an umbrella and a large axe. However, both the umbrella and the large axe emitted dense Devilish Qi. Li Luochen could not use them, which was a bit of a pity.

After all, he was not of the Demon Race and had no way to use demonic power, so he couldn't utilize these two treasures at all.

If he had the time, he could slowly cleanse the Devilish Qi from them, and then he would be able to use these two demonic treasures.

Subsequently, he turned his gaze to the Storage Ring. He first sealed off his entire cultivation Immortal Cave before taking out the resources from the Storage Ring.

There was no helping it; these resources contained a large amount of Devilish Qi. If they were allowed to contaminate the Spiritual Veins here, it would be a massive loss.

After sealing the entire Immortal Cave, Li Luochen sat cross-legged and carefully examined the resources.

The resources in this Demon Race leader's hands were truly plentiful, and all of them were useful to the Demon Race.

There were as many as thirty-five demonic spirit crystals, much more than what Li Luochen had previously obtained from those two Early Stage Soul Transformation Demon Race experts.

He quickly put away the thirty-five demonic spirit crystals. No matter what, these things were treasures of a higher grade than Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

If he could cleanse the Devilish Qi from them in the future, they would be highly valuable even in the Spirit Realm.

Aside from the demonic spirit crystals, there was also a large quantity of Top-Grade demonic spirit stones and High Grade demonic spirit stones. This time, Li Luochen did not directly suppress them within the demon suppression tower; he had to find a way to remove the Devilish Qi from these demonic spirit stones, leaving only the Spiritual Qi inside.

After all, upgrading the Spiritual Veins required a vast amount of Spirit Stones, and he could not afford to waste a single one.
