46: Micro Secret Realm
Li Zixuan, who was arranging family matters, heard this and took out the Li family treasury jade token, saying, "Zi Yu, go to the treasury, leave fifty thousand spiritual stones, and send the rest to the old ancestor."
Li Ziyu's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to leave, a young-looking woman pulled Li Ziyu's sleeve and said, "Second Sister, I want to go see uncle too. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Li Ziyu smiled and said, "You'll have to ask the family head about that."
Li Zixuan smiled and said, "Go ahead. Zi Wu's talent is good. If she can get some guidance from father, that would be good."
Li Ziwu said in surprise, "Thank you, Family Head Brother."
As her voice fell, she pulled Li Ziyu and left.
Li Zixuan continued, "Zi Qing, Zi Yi, Xiantian, Immortal Xian, here are four supreme grade Core Formation Pills. The four of you should break through to the Golden Core Stage with all your might. If you don't succeed, directly disperse the fake core and start over. You must not condense a fake core, understood?"
Condensing a fake core is equivalent to cutting off the immortal world path, leaving no chance to continue cultivating. Only when there is no other choice do people condense a fake core. Generally speaking, not many people are willing to do this.
No one in the Li family would make such a decision, because the Li family cultivators do not lack resources. Li Haotian has many resources for breaking through the golden core realm.
Even if he didn't, as long as he took out ten-thousand-year spiritual medicine, there would be forces willing to trade Core Formation Pills and other resources with Li Haotian.
Li Xiantian and the other three quickly nodded and asked in surprise, "Family Head, is the Li family so wealthy now? It's actually supreme grade Core Formation Pills! With an eighty percent success rate of condensing a core, plus our own, there's no problem at all."
Li Zixuan snorted coldly, "Don't be careless. You know where the Core Formation Pills came from, so don't speak of it. Also, after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, hide your cultivation as much as possible."
Li Haotian had set up a formation on Luoxia Island that could hide auras. The phenomena would only appear above the island, covered by the formation.
As for the outside world, they couldn't see if anyone was breaking through to the Golden Core Stage within Luoxia Island.
In fact, Li Haotian preferred to have a secret realm or a cave heaven, which would be a good place to hide breakthrough phenomena.
Unfortunately, the Li family's foundation is insufficient now, making it impossible to obtain a secret realm or a cave heaven.
...
In the Scripture Pavilion, Li Haotian saw two girls walking over and asked with a smile, "Oh, little girl Zi Wu, why do you have time to come see this old ancestor today?"
Li Ziwu is the youngest of the Li family's Zi Generation. She is now over thirty years old, but having successfully established foundation, she looks only in her early twenties.
This girl is clever and mischievous. Although she is already over thirty, she still maintains her innocence, which Li Haotian quite likes.
Li Ziwu quickly said, "Uncle, isn't it because I missed you? Hehe."
Li Haotian rolled his eyes and said, "You're thinking of the spiritual tea here, aren't you?"
Li Ziwu quickly ran up to the third floor and soon came down carrying a teapot, saying as she walked, "I'm thinking of both."
Li Haotian shook his head slightly and said, "You little girl. Zi Yu, sit down, let's have some spiritual tea together."
"This spiritual tea is not of much benefit to this old ancestor, but it is of great benefit to you."
Saying that, he came to a pavilion outside the Scripture Pavilion and sat down.
Li Ziyu quickly followed, sitting gently on the other side, and said with a light laugh, "Yes, uncle, I won't be polite with you."
Li Ziwu had already set out the teacups and sat beside them pouring tea.
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, Li Ziyu took out a storage bag and said, "Uncle, this is what the family head asked me to bring you."
Li Haotian took the storage bag and said with a smile, "Good, drink tea, drink tea."
Accompanied by the two girls, the three of them finished two pots of spiritual tea. Only then did the two girls leave contentedly.
After they left, a secret realm fragment about one hundred square meters in size appeared in Li Haotian's hand. He couldn't help but smile and say, "It's time to enhance you. System, check personal information."
Host: Li Haotian
Age: 148 / 600
Cultivation: Golden Core Stage, mid-stage
Spiritual Stones: 3,260,000
Remarks: Spiritual stones can enhance any treasure
There are still three million two hundred sixty thousand spiritual stones left, which should be enough to enhance this thing.
Li Haotian said, "System, consume two million two hundred sixty thousand spiritual stones to enhance the secret realm fragment."
"Ding, enhancement successful. Two million two hundred sixty thousand spiritual stones consumed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a miniature secret realm."
It actually became a miniature secret realm. Li Haotian was filled with pleasant surprise, his gaze looking ahead.
At this time, the secret realm had become much larger. Perhaps the secret realm involved Space Law, but the exterior of the secret realm was still one hundred square meters, while the area inside had become larger.
The original one-hundred-square-meter secret realm fragment had actually become a miniature secret realm of about three square kilometers.
Although there was nothing in the secret realm at this time, the spiritual energy was exceptionally rich.
"As expected of a secret realm. The richness of this spiritual energy is probably comparable to a small supreme grade spiritual vein, right?"
"No, it's higher than the richness of a small supreme grade spiritual vein. Perhaps it's because the space is small and the spiritual energy doesn't dissipate."
Li Haotian looked at the miniature secret realm before him in surprise and instantly disappeared into the valley not far from the Scripture Pavilion.
The valley was not large, but it was enough to place the secret realm with an exterior of one hundred square meters.
After settling the secret realm, Li Haotian began planting various spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits inside.
This was his own secret realm, and Li Haotian could enter it at any time.
Half a year later, Li Haotian finally finished his work. The miniature secret realm was filled with spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits.
There might be some different rules in the secret realm. Li Haotian found that the growth rate of spiritual fruits inside was faster.
This discovery made him smile with joy, so he also cultivated in the secret realm.
...
Time flew by, and another three years passed. The outside world had become chaotic. Demon cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago began entering the Heaven's Gate Archipelago in large numbers.
Many rogue cultivators, upon learning of this, unhesitatingly stayed away from the Heaven's Gate Archipelago.
Some small Li families also abandoned their family properties and quickly fled the area.
With the departure of rogue cultivators and small Li families, the Heaven's Gate Archipelago became somewhat desolate.
The once bustling market now had sparse inhabitants, and many small markets were already empty.
The major Li families had long anticipated this situation and had their own resource replenishment channels.
The Li family was no exception. Li Zixuan once again sought out Long Xiangdong. After learning about the Li family's strength, Kong Xianglong directly reported to the merchant guild, and the Dragon Soar Chamber of Commerce established the Dragon Ascension Pavilion in the large market controlled by the Li family, Xingyun Market.
Naturally, Li Zixuan could not reveal Li Haotian's true cultivation, only stating that the Li family had a golden core old ancestor.
In addition, Li Zixuan had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak in a short period of time, which was much faster than Long Xiangdong.
More than twenty years had passed, and Long Xiangdong had also successfully established foundation, but compared to Li Zixuan, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, mid-stage.
Although Long Xiangdong was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, mid-stage, he was from the Dragon family of the Dragon Soar Chamber of Commerce and had great authority.
Long Xiangdong was very envious of Li Zixuan's cultivation speed and finally understood why Li Zixuan was unwilling to join the Dragon Soar Chamber of Commerce.
He still had over a hundred years of lifespan and was already at the Foundation Establishment Peak. It was very possible for him to condense a golden core.
In three years, the Li family had produced many more immortal cultivators, increasing from one hundred and nine people to one hundred and fifty-five.
The largest increase occurred during the spiritual energy tide. At that time, many clansmen cultivated spiritual roots, and now they have cultivation at the qi refining stage, second or third layer.
After all, their talent was not good, and being able to cultivate was already very good.
For many people, being able to cultivate in this life is already very satisfying.
The number of people at the Foundation Establishment Stage increased from thirty-two to forty. The spiritual energy tide was no joke, allowing many people to break through to the qi refining stage, tenth layer. With no lack of resources, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in three years was not difficult either.
