30: Aura Tide
The young man exited the Scripture Pavilion, then walked back in. The books inside hadn't changed, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes again.
Li Haotian watched, finding it quite amusing, and couldn't help but say with a smile, "You didn't see wrong, come in."
The young man was startled, and quickly looked towards the source of the voice, only to see Li Haotian standing at the staircase entrance on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion, smiling as he watched him.
Looking closely, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "Are you Great-Granduncle?"
Li Haotian was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What is your name?"
The young man quickly said, "Disciple Li Daoyun greets Great-Granduncle."
Li Haotian said with a smile, "No need for formalities. I didn't expect the Dao Generation to produce a little fellow with dual spiritual roots. That's interesting."
"Dao Yun, tell me, how is the Li Family now?"
Li Daoyun quickly said, "Great-Granduncle, currently the Li Family has sixty-six cultivators, four in the Foundation Establishment Stage, six at Qi Refining Stage Level 10, twenty at late Qi Refining Stage, twenty-three at middle Qi Refining Stage, eight at early Qi Refining Stage, and the rest have not yet entered the path."
"The Zhao, Qian, and Sun families have already been annihilated by the Li Family, but the Yun Family is eyeing the Li Family like a tiger. If it weren't for the other two families holding them back, they would have probably attacked long ago."
"Currently, only Zi Qing Grandfather and Zi Yi Aunt-Grandmother are within the clan. The remaining Xiantian Clan Uncle and Immortal Xian Clan Uncle have already gone out for training."
Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mm, it seems the Li Family has developed quite well during my absence. Go call the Family Head and the others over."
After thinking for a moment, several bottles of elixir appeared in his hand, and he threw them to the young man, saying, "Meeting is fate. These few bottles of elixir are for you. Cultivate well."
Li Daoyun caught the elixir in surprise and quickly said, "Thank you, Great-Granduncle, thank you, Great-Granduncle. This disciple will go invite the Clan Head and the others now."
Li Haotian nodded slightly, watching Li Daoyun leave.
After Li Daoyun left, Li Haotian activated Earth Evasion Technique and directly sank into the ground.
"Ding, detected a small low-grade spiritual vein. Do you want to enhance it?"
A smile appeared on Li Haotian's face as he said, "Enhance it."
After returning, Li Haotian clearly felt that the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein was insufficient for his cultivation, so naturally, he had to upgrade the spiritual vein.
"Ding, enhancement successful. Consumed five hundred thousand spiritual stones. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a small middle-grade spiritual vein."
Li Haotian frowned slightly. It was only a small middle-grade one? It seemed his spiritual stones were insufficient.
"Rumble!"
As the spiritual vein advanced, the entire Luoxia Island began to tremble. Immediately after, dense spiritual energy continuously appeared throughout the entire Luoxia Island.
"Hmm? The spiritual energy has increased? Cultivate quickly."
"Breaking through at this time is perfect."
"My bottleneck has loosened. Middle Qi Refining Stage, here I come."
"Late Qi Refining Stage, I'm going to break through."
"..."
Aside from the initial island tremors which caused the Li Family cultivators a bit of panic, the subsequent spiritual energy eruption was a great opportunity for them to cultivate, and they naturally wouldn't miss this chance.
It wasn't just them; except for Li Zixuan and Li Ziyu who couldn't break through further, the rest all began cultivating.
Li Zixuan's face revealed joy, and he quickly walked towards the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.
"Father, it must be father. I didn't expect him, the old man, to give the Li Family such a big surprise as soon as he returned."
"The spiritual vein has been upgraded. With this spiritual energy tide, the Li Family is going to rise up."
A spiritual energy tide occurs when a spiritual vein is upgraded, and it is greatly beneficial to people or plants and animals within the range of the spiritual vein.
If one cultivates during this time, there is a high possibility of breaking through their cultivation.
Of course, major realm bottlenecks are an exception.
Suddenly, Li Zixuan's expression changed drastically. If it was a spiritual energy tide, it would likely attract a beast tide.
Thinking of this, Li Zixuan couldn't help but stop. Just as he was about to wake up the cultivating crowd, Li Haotian's voice appeared in his ears.
"No need to worry. It's just a small beast tide. They are here to deliver resources to us."
As his voice fell, the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords and Azure-Purple Twin Swords appeared in the four directions of Luoxia Island. The entire Luoxia Island was enveloped by sword energy.
All the monsters that entered were killed by the sword energy, including many second-tier monsters.
Luoxia Island was relatively barren, and being in shallow waters close to the mainland, the monsters here were at most second-tier.
With Li Haotian's sword formation, even Nascent Soul cultivators could be quickly dealt with, let alone second-tier monsters.
Li Zixuan saw Luoxia Island enveloped by sword energy and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
He didn't expect his father to be so powerful, and the quality of those four flying swords definitely surpassed supreme grade magic tools.
This meant father had actually broken through to the Golden Core Stage.
As this thought arose, Li Zixuan became excited and could no longer restrain himself, quickly running towards the back mountain.
Scripture Pavilion, Li Haotian sat on the third floor reading a book. The spiritual energy tide would last for quite a while, allowing the Li Family cultivators to cultivate peacefully and steadily.
It wasn't just Li Zixuan; Li Ziyu, who wasn't cultivating, also quickly followed.
Among the Li Family Zi Generation, only these two were at Qi Refining Stage Level 10 and had already reached perfection, only needing thousand-year earth milk to break through to Foundation Establishment.
As for the others, there were three more in the Zi Generation, all at late Qi Refining Stage, who could continue to improve. Whether they could reach Foundation Establishment depended on whether the Li Family had enough thousand-year earth milk.
Back mountain, Scripture Pavilion. By the time Li Zixuan and the other arrived, Li Haotian had already walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.
Li Zixuan excitedly asked, "Father, are you...? Are you Golden Core?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the four flying swords around him, already too happy to speak clearly.
Li Haotian nodded slightly and said, "I had some opportunities after going out and broke through to the Golden Core Stage."
Li Zixuan laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, good. Father, our Li Family finally has a Golden Core Old Ancestor! Finally, there's a Golden Core Old Ancestor!"
Li Ziyu was the same. She had also broken through to Qi Refining Stage Level 10. If Li Haotian's cultivation became powerful, she would have a chance to obtain thousand-year earth milk, and she could also break through her cultivation.
Foundation Establishment Stage! That's a lifespan of two hundred fifty years, allowing one to live for over a hundred more years!
Seeing their happy appearance, Li Haotian couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"Alright, don't be so excited. Here are two drops of thousand-year earth milk. Take them and cultivate."
These two drops of thousand-year earth milk were cultivated by Li Haotian using ten-year earth milk, specifically for Li Zixuan and the other. Now was the perfect time to take advantage of the spiritual energy tide to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Thousand-year earth milk has powerful energy, can increase lifespan, is definitely a good thing, and can also quickly help one break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Haotian himself only took half a day to break through at the time, and he even reached the middle Foundation Establishment Stage.
Looking at the two, two jade bottles appeared in his hand and flew directly into theirs.
Li Zixuan and Li Ziyu were overjoyed. They quickly sat down cross-legged and actually began cultivating right at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.
When they adjusted to their peak state, they directly consumed the thousand-year earth milk. The powerful energy left them astonished.
At this time, the two quickly composed themselves and began cultivating rapidly.
Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction, his powerful divine sense sweeping in all directions.
At this moment, all the Li Family members on Luoxia Island were cultivating. The ordinary Li Family members were nourished by the spiritual energy, and more individuals with spiritual roots would appear among their future descendants.
"This is a good omen! With this, the future of my Li Family is promising."
He held a large amount of resources in his hands, and after eliminating the three families, the resources the Li Family could obtain also increased.
Under these circumstances, as long as the Li Family gives birth to more children with spiritual roots, it will be difficult for them not to rise up.
Leaving aside everything else, just that little fellow Li Daoyun, with dual spiritual root talent, achieving Golden Core or Nascent Soul in the future is not impossible.
