16: Mysterious Frost Ice Crystal Flame

Therefore, Li Xiangyun looked a bit troubled and said, "This... could Junior have a few more days? After all, some of these Spirit Medicines are indeed..."

To this, Fire Old seemed to have already anticipated it and casually said, "That's naturally not a problem. You can give what you can first."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyun took out a Storage Pouch. "Here are some Spirit Medicines Senior needs. Besides that, there are also twenty thousand Spirit Stones for Senior to purchase other necessities."

Li Xiangyun actually guessed what they would use these twenty thousand Spirit Stones for, but he gave them willingly.

After all, Fire Old was currently a Soul body and couldn't use them, so they would definitely all be used on Li Xingyan.

But if Li Xingyan became powerful, he would benefit.

One could only say, you might not lose out, but I will definitely make a huge profit!

Looking at the ordinary Storage Pouch, Li Xingyan's eyes instantly lit up.

After all, his monthly stipend was only a mere fifty Spirit Stones.

Twenty thousand Spirit Stones, how long would he have to save for that?

"Quite sensible!" Fire Old looked at Li Xiangyun with satisfaction, then took the Spirit Stones.

Compared to Li Xingyan's excitement, Fire Old was much calmer.

After Li Xingyan put away the Storage Pouch, Fire Old changed the subject, sternly admonishing him, "Boy, you should be clear about your own injuries. The collection of Spirit Medicines must be expedited. If you delay for a few more months, it will truly be beyond cure!"

Li Xiangyun's expression turned solemn, and he quickly said, "Yes, Junior understands."

"Mm~"

A moment later, Fire Old stroked his beard in thought, then continued, "I sense the aura of a Yin and Yang pill within your body. I bestow upon you a wisp of Mystic Frost Ice Crystal Flame. If you can comprehend its Profound Truths, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

As he spoke, a wisp of ice-blue flame suddenly appeared in Fire Old's hand.

The flame flickered, clearly burning, yet an extremely terrifying cold Qi rapidly spread, freezing the surroundings.

This was clearly a life-saving talisman given to Li Xiangyun in case he couldn't collect the Spirit Medicines.

"What a strange flame!" Li Xiangyun was startled. It was clearly a flame, yet it possessed such powerful coldness.

He was known as Ice Peak Zhenren by the world, deeply comprehending the Dao of Ice, and prided himself on his Ice Glaze Dao Intent.

But this wisp of Mystic Frost Ice Crystal Flame still shocked Li Xiangyun. The Profound Truths of Ice contained within it were as mysterious and profound as heaven and earth, and it also contained an extremely terrifying Dao of Flame Annihilation.

Li Xiangyun understood that even if he didn't comprehend its Profound Truths, merely mastering it would significantly boost his strength.

In comparison, his twenty thousand Spirit Stones seemed insignificant.

Therefore, Li Xiangyun quickly bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this treasure!"

"Senior, whatever your command, Junior will spare no effort!"

"Mm!" Fire Old responded indifferently, completely unfazed by Li Xiangyun's words.

However, Li Xiangyun's lack of ill intent due to the wisp of Spirit Flame made him think highly of him, sighing that his Heart-Nature was not bad.

Seeing Fire Old return to the ring, Li Xiangyun knew that this conversation should end, so he looked at Li Xingyan. "You're called Li Xingyan, right!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor." Li Xingyan respectfully saluted.

Fire Old's mouth twitched as he watched this scene.

He was Li Xingyan's Revered Master, and Li Xiangyun was Li Xingyan's Old Ancestor, so wouldn't he be several generations lower than Li Xiangyun?

Li Xiangyun chuckled inwardly, evidently also noticing this point, and smiled, "Thank you this time. Regarding your reward, someone will give it to you later."

"You may go back first!"

"Yes, Disciple takes his leave!"

With that, Li Xingyan left contentedly.

Leaving aside the reward Li Xiangyun mentioned, just the twenty thousand Spirit Stones Li Xiangyun gave him would be enough for his Cultivation for some time to come.

Li Xingyan had already envisioned the scene of his rapid Cultivation advancement in the future.

After Li Xingyan left, Li Zhongwen, who had received a Divine Sense message from Li Xiangyun, returned.

As soon as they met, Li Zhongwen anxiously asked, "Seventh Uncle, how is it?"

Li Xiangyun lay leisurely on the rocking chair and comforted him, "Don't worry, I've already found out the reason."

"It should be some powerful Physique that consumed his Cultivation because it lacked sufficient energy for Awakening."

"It has been resolved now."

"So that's how it is, that's good, that's good." Li Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then became excited.

After all, Li Xingyan was his grandson, and when he suddenly lost all his Cultivation previously, he was anxious but helpless.

Now, Li Xingyan's problem was solved, and he had even Awakened a Physique.

He was very happy, both as a grandfather and as the Clan Chief.

"Don't be happy too soon." Li Xiangyun glanced at Li Zhongwen and continued, "Since the problem is resolved, Li Xingyan's strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. You must do a good job of keeping it a secret. Besides that, Cultivation resources must also keep up."

"That's natural..." Li Zhongwen had a look of course on his face.

After all, this was a Spirit Physique!

Their Li Family hadn't produced one in several hundred years.

Thinking back to how terrifying Li Xingyan's Cultivation speed was even before his Physique Awakened, let alone after.

"Mm~" Seeing Li Zhongwen's expression, Li Xiangyun nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xiangyun had long thought of this reason.

After all, under the tutelage of the Old Ancestor, Li Xingyan's Cultivation speed would only be faster, not slower, fully living up to the name of a Spirit Physique.

After Li Zhongwen left, Li Xiangyun brought up the System page.

Host: Li Xiangyun (Dying)

"Family: Li Family (Pseudo Golden Core Family)"

"Old Ancestor: Li Xiangyun, Golden Core Early Stage (Detached State)"

"Clan Chief: Li Zhongwen (Foundation Establishment Middle Stage)"

"Grand Elder: Li Zhongwu (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)"

"Second Elder: Li Xiaotian (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)"

"Third Elder: Li Xiaofei (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)"

Fourth Elder: "Li Xingping (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)"

...At this time, the System had undergone some changes compared to before, with added shop and lottery pages.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shop and lottery pages, Li Xiangyun's heart stirred, and he salivated.

But then he looked at the zero prosperity value, and after a sigh, Li Xiangyun reluctantly closed it.

The most urgent task now was to increase the Family's strength to gain Family Prosperity Value.

Only then could he purchase those Spirit Medicines.

But how could he quickly increase the Family's strength?

Looking at the System page, Li Xiangyun fell into deep thought.

After all, the arrangements for the Zhao Family had just begun, and it would take another ten days to half a month to reel them in.

And merely increasing the strength of ordinary Family members was just a drop in the bucket for Li Xiangyun.

As he looked, Li Xiangyun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait, why was he still in a detached state?

"Old Ancestor: Li Xiangyun, Golden Core Early Stage (Detached State)"

Li Xiangyun looked at this line of text, somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought that after binding to the Family, he would automatically return, but he didn't expect that until now, he was still in a detached state.

Looking at "Pseudo Golden Core Family" marked after the Li Family, Li Xiangyun suddenly thought of something.
