50: The Great Elder's Plan
Li Haotian smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a pity there aren't enough spiritual stones, otherwise, I would turn you into a Li Family bloodline inheritance cultivation technique. As long as they have the Li Family bloodline and spiritual roots, the family members will awaken the inheritance memory of this cultivation technique at the age of six."
When reading novels in his previous life, Li Haotian saw that some divine beasts had their own inheritance memories. Since Li Haotian wanted the Li Family to be passed down forever, this method was very good.
Even if he were to fall in the future, as long as the Li Family still had people, there would be a time when they could rise again.
Of course, it would definitely be better if he didn't die. He wanted to rely on the spiritual stone bonus system to achieve the immortal world, live forever, and make the Li Family a great immortal family.
Li Haotian smiled and said, "System, check my personal information."
Host: Li Haotian
Age: 152/600
Cultivation: Golden Core late stage
Spiritual Stones: 220000
Note: Spiritual stones can enhance any treasure
"Alas, I lack spiritual stones. It's a pity I can't leave the Heaven's Gate Archipelago at any time now, otherwise, if I went out and sold a few thousand-year-old medicinal herbs again, my wallet would be full."
The Heaven's Gate Archipelago was not safe now. Li Haotian was afraid that after he left, the demon cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago would just happen to attack, and then the Li Family would be in trouble.
With the formations he had set up, plus Li Xiantian and the other three, although it wouldn't lead to the extermination of the family, Li Haotian didn't want the Li Family to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Returning to the secret realm, Li Haotian took out a Concentration Pill and took it, continuing his cultivation.
...
Outside Luoxia Island, a figure appeared here, it was the First Elder of Tianmen Island.
At this time, the First Elder looked at the great array on Luoxia Island in surprise, saying in disbelief, "This? A third-grade High Grade formation?"
Just at this moment, a person walked out from the formation, it was Li Zixuan.
He smiled and asked, "Senior, what brings you here?"
The First Elder of Tianmen Island asked, "The Heavenly Devil Archipelago is attacking, will your Li Family make a move?"
Li Zixuan smiled and said, "Naturally, we will make a move."
The First Elder nodded slightly, wanting very much to go into Luoxia Island to see the situation, but seeing the third-grade High Grade formation, he finally backed down.
He didn't dare to take the risk. If the Li Family was truly a demon sect spy, he might die without a burial place if he entered.
"Okay, who are you in the Li Family?"
Li Zixuan smiled and said, "Li Zixuan, the family head of the Ji Family. Which elder of Tianmen Island are you, senior?"
The First Elder snorted coldly, "You are not qualified to know. Temporarily stop attacking the Feng and Yuan families. We'll talk about it after the demon cultivators retreat."
As he spoke, the aura on his body was released, pressing down on Li Zixuan with overwhelming force.
Li Zixuan was, after all, only a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. He couldn't withstand the pressure of a Golden Core old ancestor at all.
"Hmph!"
Just when he was about to collapse, a cold snort came from within Luoxia Island.
"Pfft!"
The First Elder was shocked by this cold snort, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he looked at the inside of Luoxia Island with a face full of disbelief. The aura on his body dispersed, and he quickly retreated many steps.
At this time, he realized that this Li Family was probably not simple. The Li Family definitely had a Golden Core late stage existence, otherwise, it would be impossible to injure him with just a cold snort.
Although this injury was nothing, the First Elder was scared.
A Golden Core late stage was not someone he could contend with. He could even feel an aura similar to that of the Island Lord from the other party's aura.
That is to say, the person behind this Luoxia Island was very likely at the Golden Core Peak.
He had probed the situation of the Li Family, but this was not what the First Elder and Tianmen Island wanted, after all, if the Li Family was strong enough, they could share the Heaven's Gate Archipelago equally with Tianmen Island.
Thinking of this, the First Elder suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, are you a local cultivator of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago?"
"Yes!"
Li Haotian's voice came.
The First Elder breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but soon smiled bitterly and said, "After the Tianmo Island demon cultivators retreat this time, the eastern and southern parts of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago will belong to the Luo Xia Li Family, and the northern and western parts will belong to Tianmen Island. From now on, we will not interfere with each other, how about it?"
Li Haotian hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the other four Golden Core forces?"
The First Elder said coldly, "This is inherently a world where the weak are prey to the strong. Only the strong are worthy of possessing more resources."
Li Haotian was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, but we will share the spiritual stone mines of the four families equally."
The First Elder smiled and said, "I can decide on this. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested in jointly attacking the Heavenly Devil Archipelago with Tianmen Island after the Tianmo Island retreats?"
"At that time, the resources and spiritual stone mines of the Heavenly Devil Archipelago will be divided between our two families according to our own means. Whoever seizes it will get it, how about it?"
Li Haotian replied, "Are you sure you can counterattack?"
The First Elder asked in return, "How many Golden Core Peak cultivators can the Li Family leave behind?"
Li Haotian smiled and said, "Within ten. We will eliminate as many as come."
With two sets of Two Elemental Dust Sword Formations set up, let alone ten Golden Core Peak cultivators, even twenty or thirty, Li Haotian was confident he could keep them. Even if not, wasn't there still a Nascent Soul Stage puppet?
The First Elder was greatly shocked. The Tianmen Great Array of Tianmen Island only had this power. He didn't expect the Li Family to also have such powerful means.
Then he became excited, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, it's settled then. I have to go back and report to the Island Lord."
Li Haotian nodded slightly and said, "Go, don't make things difficult for the juniors in the future."
The First Elder was a little embarrassed. The reason he did that was to test how deep the water was in the Luo Xia Island Li Family.
If not for the test, how could such a powerful existence be forced out?
Fortunately, Tianmen Island did not directly attack the Li Family, otherwise, it was unknown who would win.
But if the two families started fighting, it would definitely benefit the group of demon cultivators in the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
After the First Elder left, Li Haotian asked, "Zixuan, how many spiritual stones can be harvested annually from all the resource islands and spiritual stone mines in the south and east combined?"
Li Zixuan quickly calculated. The four Golden Core Stage forces definitely had spiritual stone mines. Small spiritual stone mines could extract a maximum of 80,000 spiritual stones per year, and a minimum of 10,000. Those below 10,000 were considered micro spiritual stone mines.
Assuming each of the four families had two spiritual stone mines, the Li Family would get four. If each was calculated at 50,000 spiritual stones, they could obtain 200,000 spiritual stones per year.
Qingfeng Island had over 300 resource islands in its hands, and the Golden Core forces in the south had over 400 resource islands, plus the Foundation Establishment families, there were nearly a thousand resource islands.
Assuming each resource island had an average income of 3,000 spiritual stones, the Li Family could earn over 3 million spiritual stones per year.
Li Zixuan couldn't help but gasp. This was over 3 million spiritual stones, and it was still a year's income. This didn't even include the income from the market and the teleportation array.
"Slurp, so many spiritual stones."
Although the spiritual stones obtained would definitely not be that many, this was also very good. There would be over a million spiritual stones every year. Even after expenses, they would definitely be able to save over a million spiritual stones.
The Li Family was different from Tianmen Island. Tianmen Island had five Golden Core cultivators, over a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and tens of thousands of Qi Refining stage cultivators.
These cultivators all relied on the spiritual stones of Tianmen Island to survive. Even if they could obtain 5 million spiritual stones per year, not much would be left in the end.
The Li Family was different. There were only over a hundred family members. Although the number was constantly increasing, compared to the expenses of Tianmen Island, it was too little.
In addition, the Tianmen Island Lord wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, which required a Bottomless Cave of spiritual stones, far different from the Li Family.
The Li Family'sSalary (stipend) were all supreme grade elixirs. If they wanted spiritual stones, they had the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, so they could earn spiritual stones themselves.
Therefore, every year, except for the spiritual stones used to purchase resources and enhance resources, the remaining spiritual stones could be saved. They were most useful in Li Haotian's hands.
Thinking of this, Li Zixuan quickly said, "Father, if we take down the eastern and southern parts of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, conservatively estimated, we can harvest approximately 2 million spiritual stones annually."
