43: Chapter 43 Revising Annual Salary, Five Elements Spirit Sword

Li Luochen pondered for a moment. Each Realm's clansmen could be allocated twelve drops of danxiang spirit liquid annually, and the Spirit Stones must also be adjusted.

The danxiang spirit liquid was not a big deal. After all, the Li Family currently had no shortage of Spirit Stones. Purchasing thirty drops of each kind annually would be enough for a hundred years, as the Li Family only had twenty Cultivators at present.

Even if the number increased in the future, it wouldn't be by much, as there were too few people with Spiritual Roots.

"Hmm, from now on, every year, a Qi Refining Level 1 clansman can receive fifteen Spirit Stones, Qi Refining Layer 2 thirty Spirit Stones, and Qi Refining Level 3 fifty Spirit Stones."

"Qi Refining Level 4 gets one hundred Spirit Stones, Qi Refining Stage 5 two hundred Spirit Stones, and by Qi Refining Stage 6, it's three hundred Spirit Stones."

"Qi Refining Stage 7 gets four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, Qi Refining Level 8 six hundred Spirit Stones, and Qi Refining Level 9 seven hundred and fifty Spirit Stones."

"If one reaches Qi Refining 10th Layer, they can receive one thousand Spirit Stones annually."

"Now that the Family has Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, they must also be arranged."

"Early Stage Foundation Establishment gets one thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones annually, Middle Stage Foundation Establishment two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones annually, Late Stage Foundation Establishment two thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones annually, and Peak Foundation Establishment three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones annually."

"If there are enough Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, they can also be converted into Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Alright, it's settled then."

After confirming the clansmen's annual stipends, Li Luochen contentedly picked up a Jade Slip and recorded them.

When there are more Cultivators in the future, a contribution or merit point System can be implemented. For now, the priority is to enhance the Family's strength.

After doing all this, Li Luochen took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and began transmitting a message to Li Yanlong.

"Yanlong, come quickly to the Family's Council Hall!"

As the Family Head, there was no need to be so busy; things that should be handled by clansmen should be left to them.

Li Yanlong arrived quickly, and when he spoke of his recent gains, it astonished Li Luochen.

He never expected that so many Spirit Stones had been sold. Besides the danxiang spirit liquid, there were actually seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

If they participated in an auction, it would be enough to purchase a foundation establishment pill.

"Family Head, is this true?"

Li Luochen smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Moreover, starting next year, our Family's Spirit Field income will reach over sixty thousand Spirit Stones. This is good for the Family, but this news must not be leaked."

"Our Li Family is still too weak. If people knew we possess so many Spiritual Veins, have developed so many Spirit Fields, and can harvest sixty thousand Spirit Stones annually, the Family would likely be in trouble."

Li Yanlong earnestly said, "Family Head, rest assured, we will absolutely not speak of it. As you said, wealth should not be revealed."

Li Luochen nodded and said, "Alright, you and Yanhu should break through to Qi Refining 10th Layer as soon as possible. I have a way for you to Foundation Establishment. Go now and convey the matter of increasing the Family's annual stipends."

A look of pleasant surprise flashed in Li Yanlong's eyes, and he quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, thank you, Family Head!"

He never expected that the Family Head still possessed treasures that could help them Foundation Establishment. This meant that in the future, the Family would at least have one or two Foundation Establishment Stage clansmen, and becoming a Foundation Establishment Family was just around the corner.

As for going to the two great Immortal Cities to purchase foundation establishment pills, Li Yanlong hadn't even considered it. After all, their strength was insufficient, and even if they had enough Spirit Stones to buy foundation establishment pills, they might not be able to bring them back safely.

After Li Yanlong left, Li Luochen patted the Storage Pouch at his waist, and five Flying Swords instantly flew out—they were precisely the five elements spirit sword rewarded by the System.

He couldn't use that set of second-tier Medium Grade five elements spirit sword before, but now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could naturally use them.

He quickly injected his magical power, imprinted his Divine Sense, and refined these five Spirit Swords.

After the initial refinement, Li Luochen understood the five Spirit Swords, and his heart was instantly filled with pleasant surprise.

Produced by the System, they were truly premium goods. The five elements spirit sword were also known as the Five Elements True Spirit Swords, perfectly complementing the True Spirit Sword Art within the Five Elements True Spirit Art.

If he could simultaneously control five Flying Swords to unleash the Five Elements True Spirit Sword Art, being invincible within the same Realm of combat power would not be difficult.

Most importantly, the five elements spirit sword could devour Five Elements Materials to improve their quality.

Li Luochen had no shortage of Spirit Stones, so purchasing second-tier High Grade and premium Five Elements Materials was not difficult.

If he had the chance to acquire third-tier Five Elements Materials, he wouldn't fear lacking resources when breaking through to the Golden Core Stage in the future.

However, just as he was halfway through refining the five elements spirit sword, Li Yanlong came looking for him.

"Family Head, that danxiang spirit liquid, hehe!"

Li Luochen took out a Storage Pouch and threw it over, saying earnestly, "Fifty drops of danxiang spirit liquid for each Realm are enough for the clansmen to use."

"But you must remember, each clansman can be allocated twelve drops of danxiang spirit liquid annually, no more."

"As for premium Medicinal Pills, I don't plan to buy them anymore. Anyway, you all have Spirit Stones, so go buy them yourselves."

Li Yanlong quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, Family Head, I understand."

They indeed had no shortage of Spirit Stones. Although their Talisman Drawing Art wasn't very strong, the Family had abundant stalks, allowing them to produce many talisman papers, which was enough for their allocation.

They didn't even need to worry about failure. As long as the success rate of the talisman papers allocated each time was only ten percent, they would still make a huge profit.

Li Luochen had never been particular about this. Regardless, the clansmen worked hard to plant Spirit Rice, so distributing the stalks to them was also considered a reward.

Don't underestimate the Li Family's current stalks; there were quite a lot. Even if they didn't draw talismans and just sold them as blank talisman papers, they could still earn a good amount of Spirit Stones.

In fact, several clansmen did this. They were either too young or simply lacked talent in drawing talismans, so they could only sell blank talisman papers.

Even so, they had quite a few Spirit Stones, enough for them to purchase premium Medicinal Pills.

After Li Yanlong took the Storage Pouch, he was about to leave when he suddenly asked, "Family Head, it's the Spirit Rice harvest season again, what do you think?"

Li Luochen smiled and said, "Alright, then proceed with the harvest as usual."

After speaking, he waved his hand, dismissing Li Yanlong. Once the latter left, he went to a side door, opened it, and walked directly into a small room.

He fiddled around in the room a few times, and a dark hole appeared on the ground.

Li Luochen walked straight in. This was the Li Family Treasury he had opened up, located underground.

It was enveloped by a Formation. Originally, he intended to store the Family's Spirit Stones here, but he simply didn't have any extra Spirit Stones before.

The treasury was not large, about a hundred square meters, three meters high, and contained nothing but a few rows of shelves.

Li Luochen entered the treasury, took out seven Storage Pouches filled with Spirit Stones, and placed them on one of the shelves.

After doing all this, Li Luochen exited the treasury. The treasury also had a Formation, but it was a first-tier premium Formation, and just a small Formation Plate, just enough to cover the treasury.

Only Li Luochen knew about this treasury and Formation. When the Li Family produced a second Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, they could also be informed about it.

However, it was not yet time. The Li Family was too weak. If too many people knew about the Family's Spirit Stone reserves, and the news leaked, even Foundation Establishment Families would be tempted.
