36: Chapter 36 First-Grade High-Rank Spiritual Vein, Qi Refining Level 10

Li Luochen followed Li Yanlong to meet the three children, namely Li Yanqing, Li Changfei, and Li Changge, all of whom were six-year-old toddlers.

However, with this, the number of Cultivators in the Family reached six. If Li Changfeng and Li Changqing were to hit it off with those two women who possessed Spiritual Roots, the Family would have eighteen Cultivators.

Upon seeing Li Luochen, the three children hurriedly saluted and said, "We Disciples pay our respects to the Family Head."

Li Luochen waved his hand and said, "Children, rise quickly. No need for such formalities. You are all members of my Li Family with Spiritual Roots, and you will embark on the path to Cultivate in the future."

"I hope you will work hard to Cultivate in the future and not let down the Family's investment in your upbringing."

"Yanlong, what are the Spiritual Root Aptitudes of these children?"

Li Yanlong shook his head slightly and replied, "Reporting to the Family Head, they all have four or five Spiritual Roots."

Li Luochen was not disappointed. So what if they had four or five Spiritual Roots? As long as the Li Family had sufficient resources, helping them achieve a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage would not be a problem.

"Hmm, I understand. Take this. You, Li Yanhu, and Li Yanfeng should each take four drops, and you can distribute the rest among the other clansmen who have reached the Qi Refining Level 4 Breakthrough."

"I obtained this during my recent trip to Beihai Immortal City. I hope you all can achieve a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 7 soon."

After distributing the fifty-year spirit milk, Li Luochen returned to Luochen Residence to keep Zhou Xin and Li Yanshu company.

The next morning, Li Luochen quickly searched around Hidden Dragon Island and soon found a suitable location to settle the Spiritual Vein.

He still had a High Grade Spiritual Vein on him, which had to be settled properly.

Logically speaking, a High Grade Spiritual Vein should be settled on a newly found island, but the situation was different now, and he could not do that for the time being.

There was only one Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Illusion Array Disc, so for now, it could only be used to guard Hidden Dragon Island.

Therefore, this Spiritual Vein could only be settled on Hidden Dragon Island. As for where exactly to place it, he would need to search carefully.

Li Luochen was very familiar with Hidden Dragon Island and soon found a desolate and relatively flat area.

It was possible to open up over five hundred mu of farmland here, which could be considered a decent spot.

"System, place the High Grade Spiritual Vein here!"

As his voice fell, the High Grade Spiritual Vein disappeared from the System space, turning into a stream of light that submerged into the ground.

Immediately after, rich Spiritual Qi was rapidly generated, shrouding the surrounding area.

Li Luochen quickly took out the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Illusion Array Disc, set it up there, and inserted ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, quickly sealing the Spiritual Qi within the range of the Spiritual Vein.

He had forgotten to purchase a Spirit Gathering Array and a Spirit Locking Array, so he could only use this Formation Plate for now.

This Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Illusion Array Disc was originally intended to guard Hidden Dragon Island, but it seemed he had no choice but to do this for now.

Next was opening up the spiritual fields: twenty mu of High Grade spiritual fields, fifty mu of Medium Grade spiritual fields, one hundred mu of Low Grade spiritual fields, and three hundred mu of ordinary spiritual fields.

Moreover, the Cultivation environment here was quite good. He could build some secret Cultivation chambers here, allowing the Li Family clansmen to Cultivate.

However, the top priority was to open up the spiritual fields first, as it would soon be time for planting.

With his Cultivation level, opening up spiritual fields was not a difficult task. By using the Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talisman, these four hundred and seventy mu of spiritual fields were quickly opened up.

This was the time for planting spirit rice, so Li Luochen had to make a trip out; he hadn't yet purchased the High Grade spirit rice seeds.

He found a nearby market, purchased the spirit rice seeds, and flew back at extreme speed.

By this time, Li Yanlong and the others were also preparing to start planting the spirit rice.

When Li Luochen mentioned the four hundred and seventy mu of spiritual fields, the other members of the Li Family were stunned.

"Family Head, are you saying you quietly opened up four hundred and seventy mu of spiritual fields? And there are even twenty mu of High Grade spiritual fields?"

This was asked by Li Yanlong. Li Yanhu was on Youlong Island, currently busy planting spirit rice, and had not returned.

Li Luochen nodded and said, "Hmm, I accidentally discovered a High Grade Spiritual Vein, and since I happened to have a Spirit Absorption Talisman, I brought it back."

He spoke very casually, but Li Yanlong and the others were overjoyed.

Originally, the Li Family had ten mu of Medium Grade spiritual fields, one hundred and ten mu of Low Grade spiritual fields, and two hundred and eighty mu of ordinary spiritual fields.

Now, it was even better: twenty mu of High Grade spiritual fields, sixty mu of Medium Grade spiritual fields, two hundred and ten mu of Low Grade spiritual fields, and five hundred and eighty mu of ordinary spiritual fields.

"Family Head, if this is the case, then next year's income will be high. Do you think you could acquire more premium Medicinal Pills?"

This was said by Li Yanzhong. He was now fourteen years old, possessed Three Spirit Roots, and had reached the Peak of Qi Refining Level 3, and was currently attempting a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 4.

This was mainly because, over these years, the Medicinal Pills the Li Family members used for Cultivation were quite good. Furthermore, this kid also had a talent for talisman making, and the other members of the Li Family knew a bit about talisman making as well, which they would have Li Yanlong take to the surrounding markets to sell every year.

Precisely because of this, in addition to their annual salary, everyone in the Li Family had extra income, allowing them to have Spirit Stones to purchase resources, so their Cultivation levels improved quite quickly.

Li Luochen smiled and said, "Alright, our Li Family members are few, but our spiritual fields have reached over eight hundred mu, so we must get to work quickly."

Everyone nodded one after another and began to work.

Although having more spiritual fields was a good thing, and the income from Spirit Stones would increase accordingly, it required them to work for longer hours.

It was a pity that the current Li Family was not powerful enough; otherwise, they could recruit Loose Cultivators to farm for them.

Many powerful Cultivation forces did exactly this: after opening up spiritual fields, they would let Loose Cultivators plant them, and after the harvest, they would just give them some Spirit Stones.

However, Li Luochen was not sure if the spirit rice harvested from spiritual fields rented by Loose Cultivators would count as the Li Family's own farming output.

Thinking of this, he thought of the five islands around Youlong Island. Next time he could obtain a Low Grade Spiritual Vein, he would try it on those islands to see if it would work.

If it didn't work, then he could only let his clansmen toil away at farming and Cultivating, as, after all, everything had to revolve around the System.

This planting of spirit rice took eight days, and at the same time, Li Luochen also told everyone that they could come to the High Grade Spiritual Vein to Cultivate.

After the spirit rice was planted, Li Luochen began to Cultivate, and at the same time, he also began to Cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique.

He was about to reach the Qi Refining 10th Layer, and with the premium foundation establishment pill and essence spirit true liquid, achieving a Foundation Establishment should not be difficult.

If he could Cultivate the first layer of the Heaven-Covering Technique to Minor Achievement, that would be even better.

At the same time, he also spent time keeping Zhou Xin and Li Yanshu company from time to time. His daughter was also very intelligent; she could talk and walk at just half a year old.

Eight months later, Li Luochen achieved a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining 10th Layer, having consumed a total of two drops of hundred-year spirit milk.

The five drops of hundred-year spirit milk he had originally obtained were now reduced to three, which should be enough to allow him to Cultivate to the Perfection of the Qi Refining 10th Layer.

Not only that, but he had finally achieved entry-level in the first layer of the Heaven-Covering Technique.

With the entry-level of the first layer of the Heaven-Covering Technique, as long as Li Luochen concealed his Cultivation, even a Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage would not be able to detect it.

This made him very satisfied. He did not reveal his Cultivation at the Qi Refining 10th Layer, but still kept it at the Realm of having just broken through to the Qi Refining Level 9 not long ago. As long as they were not at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be impossible for them to clearly see his specific Cultivation level.
