35: Chapter 35 Returning to the Family, Adding Three More Clan Members
Teleportation arrays are a feature of the overseas cultivation world, especially between major islands, where they facilitate communication.
After all, many sea areas have powerful Yao Beasts, which are much stronger than Human Race Cultivators, so even Nascent Soul Old Ancestors dare not easily set foot there.
Under such circumstances, teleportation arrays were born to connect the islands occupied by Human Race Cultivators.
They not only allow for mutual exchange but also form an Alliance to jointly resist Yao Beasts.
The Beihai Immortal Alliance has large teleportation arrays that can lead to various immortal islands in the Beihai cultivation world.
There are also small teleportation arrays leading to the Beimen Archipelago, especially to Golden Core forces like Qingsha Island.
The teleportation array in Qingsha Market is controlled by the Beihai Immortal Alliance. Each trip costs two hundred Spirit Stones, and it requires ten people to be gathered before teleportation.
Li Luochen dared not fly back by himself, even if it meant spending a hundred Spirit Stones.
The teleportation array is in the center of Beihai Immortal City, not in the open, but within a massive palace.
As soon as Li Luochen approached the palace, he was stopped by the Cultivators outside.
The Cultivator didn't make things difficult for him, merely stating, "This is a vital teleportation area of Beihai Immortal City. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to approach. If you wish to teleport elsewhere, please go to the side hall to purchase a Teleportation Array Talisman."
Li Luochen quickly thanked him and then swiftly made his way to the nearby side hall.
In the side hall, two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were stationed, but they were not busy. Instead, several Qi Refining Stage 7 and above Cultivators were bustling about.
Some were conversing with people, selling Teleportation Array Talismans; some were guiding other Cultivators; and others were meditating with their eyes closed.
As he entered the side hall, a Qi Refining Stage 7 Cultivator appeared beside him, smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist, if you wish to use the teleportation array, please register over there first, then buy a Teleportation Array Talisman over there."
As he spoke, he pointed out the direction to Li Luochen.
The service was quite good. Li Luochen quickly registered his teleportation information for Qingsha Market, then purchased a Teleportation Array Talisman, and the Cultivator led him to a room.
This room was large, capable of accommodating twenty to thirty people, but there were only ten meditation cushions.
Seven of them were already occupied. After Li Luochen entered, he sat on the eighth one.
It seemed he was the eighth. They needed to gather ten people to teleport, as each teleportation consumed a lot of Spirit Stones.
From Beihai Immortal City to Qingsha Market, each activation of the teleportation array required five hundred Spirit Stones. If ten people teleported together, each person paid one hundred Spirit Stones, and the Beihai Immortal Alliance earned five hundred Spirit Stones.
If there were wealthy Cultivators, they would pay a thousand Spirit Stones to teleport alone, not with others, and Beihai Immortal City would still earn half the Spirit Stones.
Therefore, just guarding such a teleportation array was very profitable in terms of Spirit Stones.
After waiting for nearly four hours, the remaining two Cultivators finally arrived.
The ten of them were quickly led outside the Teleportation Grand Hall. The Cultivator leading them respectfully said, "Old Ancestor, the people heading to Qingsha Market have all gathered."
From within the Teleportation Grand Hall, a faint voice emerged.
"Come in!"
Although the voice was faint, it contained immense pressure, making Li Luochen feel a sense of awe.
In the cultivation world, anyone who could be called an Old Ancestor was naturally a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
The importance of the teleportation array was evident from having such a powerful expert guarding it.
After the Cultivator led Li Luochen and the ten others into the grand hall, they saw two people.
One was a middle-aged man lying on a recliner, and the other was a busy young man.
The middle-aged man's aura was as vast as the sea, while the young man was only at the Qi Refining Stage cultivation.
As soon as they entered, the young man led them onto the Teleportation Platform in the center of the grand hall.
"Fellow Daoists, quickly activate your Teleportation Array Talismans and hold them in your hands or stick them to your bodies."
As his voice fell, Li Luochen quickly activated his Teleportation Array Talisman with his spiritual power, and a faint light enveloped it.
The others followed suit. When everyone activated their Teleportation Array Talismans, the teleportation array burst into brilliant light, directly enveloping the ten people.
Immediately after, these people vanished from the teleportation array, and the Teleportation Platform returned to its original state.
Li Luochen only felt his head sink, his vision blurred, and when he recovered, he was already in another grand hall.
This was the Qingsha Market teleportation array, also controlled by the Beihai Immortal Alliance.
However, this place belonged to the territory of the Qingsha Sect, and the Qingsha Sect also received a share of the teleportation array's income.
"Hurry up and get down, don't affect other people's teleportation."
As soon as Li Luochen and the others came to their senses, someone below the teleportation array shouted loudly.
They quickly descended from the teleportation array, exited the grand hall, and swiftly merged into the crowd of Qingsha Market.
After several turns, Li Luochen confirmed that no one was following him, then left Qingsha Island.
As soon as he entered the sea, he used the Water Evasion Technique and quickly headed into the distance.
Two days later, Li Luochen finally returned to Hidden Dragon Island.
Inside Hidden Dragon Island, Li Luochen returned to his small courtyard, looking at Zhou Xin, who seemed anxious and kept glancing outside, then at the child in her arms.
Li Yanfeng was beside her, comforting her, saying that Li Luochen would be back soon.
Li Luochen's heart was slightly joyful, and he quickly walked in.
"Xin'er, I'm back. Yanfeng, thank you."
Upon seeing Li Luochen, Zhou Xin was overjoyed and quickly rushed towards him. Li Luochen immediately embraced her.
Li Yanfeng pouted, "Alright, since Third Uncle is back, I won't disturb you two anymore."
"By the way, Yanlong asked me to tell Third Uncle that there are three Li Family children with Spiritual Roots in this Spiritual Root test, and two girls from other families also have Spiritual Roots."
"Alright, Third Uncle, you two can be intimate. You can ask Yanlong for the specifics yourself."
With that, Li Yanfeng turned and left directly.
Li Luochen didn't care about anything else, holding Zhou Xin and looking at Li Yanshu in her arms, his mood greatly improved.
"Xin'er, Yanshu, I've made you wait a long time."
"But for your safety, I had to make this long journey. I hope you can understand."
Zhou Xin shook her head, "Husband, as long as you return safely, that's enough."
After the two had a moment together, Li Luochen went out and found Li Yanlong.
"Yanlong, a good harvest this time?"
Li Yanlong nodded quickly, "Yes, Family Head, there are three children with Spiritual Roots: one from the Yan generation and two from the Chang generation."
"There are also two girls, both sixteen years old. How do you wish to handle them?"
Li Luochen asked, "Changfeng is almost nineteen, right? And that boy Changqing is almost eighteen? They've reached the age for marriage, so let them meet."
"If they hit it off, let them become Dao Companions and continue the lineage for my Li Family."
"By the way, Yanlong, why haven't you and Yanhu's Dao Companions had any news yet?"
Li Yanlong chuckled, "It's not that there's no news. In the half-month you were away, both my and Yanhu's Dao Companions became pregnant one after another. They'll be born in over nine months."
Li Luochen's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "While your cultivation is still weak, have a few more. Otherwise, when your cultivation is high later, it will be difficult to have children even if you want to."
Li Yanlong nodded, "That's right, we thought the same thing."
