67: Fifty years

Those demon cultivators who rushed to Tianmo Island were caught off guard and killed by the cultivators from Tianmen Island.

With the Tianmen Island Lord, a Golden Core Peak expert who also possessed the ancient treasure heaven gate, the remaining demon cultivators were no match for them and quickly became resources for them.

Li Xiantian sighed, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time. Find out where the spiritual stone mine is, take all the Top-Grade Spirit Stone inside, and don't leave a single one for them."

A spiritual stone mine without Top-Grade Spirit Stone is like a rootless duckweed, and it won't last long after being mined.

Li Xiantian and the others didn't have the time; otherwise, they would have even mined the spiritual stone mine completely, leaving only a barren island for the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The puppet's attack just now had destroyed the spiritualpulse on Tianmo Island, and repairing it would require a huge cost. I wonder what expression the Heavenly Demon Sect experts will have when they see it.

After all the spoils of war were collected, Li Xiantian said with a smile, "Let's go. We'll go to the spiritual stone mine first to collect all the Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and then return to the Heaven's Gate Archipelago."

The Tianmen Island Lord and the others respectfully nodded and followed behind Li Xiantian, flying towards the various spiritual stone mines.

...

Fifty years later, the Heaven's Gate Archipelago was developing in an orderly manner. Various foreign merchant guilds were stationed here, and the Li Family and Tianmen Island made huge profits.

The islands originally occupied by the various forces were rebuilt into cultivation caves and could be rented out.

Tianmen Island gained three more Golden Core Stage cultivators. The Tianmen Island Lord actually succeeded in marrying into the Li Family and even had a son named Li daoyuan.

However, Li Haotian had not come out of seclusion and had not given the Tianmen Island Lord the treasure to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

At this time, the Tianmen Island Lord had less than ten years of lifespan left, and he was extremely anxious.

Luoxia Island, outside the Scripture Pavilion, the Tianmen Island Lord was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Li Zixuan frowned slightly and said, "Fellow daoist Zhao, don't worry. Father is about to come out of seclusion."

The Tianmen Island Lord smiled bitterly, "I can't help but worry. I only have nine years of lifespan left. If I don't break through, I'll have to be buried."

Fifty years, he watched the rise of the Li Family, from five Golden Core Stage cultivators to the current thirty-three. What was truly remarkable was that Li Xianxian and the others broke through to the golden core later stage in fifty years.

Although only Li Xiantian broke through to the Golden Core Peak, the Li Family at this time had already surpassed Tianmen Island and most golden core forces.

Needless to say, there were even more Foundation Establishment Cultivators. In fifty years, the number of Li Family members surged, reaching over six hundred people, with over two hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the rest were qi refining stage cultivators.

Thirty-three golden core cultivators, and this doesn't even include Li Haotian. This was much stronger than the former Tianmen Island.

Li Qianqian was also extremely anxious. She was the wife of the Tianmen Island Lord, currently at the foundation establishment later stage, only around sixty years old.

"Uncle family head, you must help Baoshan, otherwise your niece will become a widow."

Li Zixuan smiled bitterly, "I'll ask Zi Wu and see if she has any ideas."

Li Zi Wu walked out and said with a smile, "Tianmen Island Lord, don't worry. Uncle asked me to give you this, and he allows you to enter the Falling Glow Secret Realm to break through."

A jade bottle appeared in Li Zi Wu's hand and flew directly towards the Tianmen Island Lord.

The Tianmen Island Lord excitedly took the jade bottle and quickly opened it to take a look.

"Hahaha, ten thousand year earth milk, it's actually ten thousand year earth milk! Nascent soul is within reach, nascent soul is within reach!"

Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly towards the direction of the secret realm.

"Thank you, master, thank you, master."

Li Zi Wu shook her head and said, "Tianmen Island Lord, there's no need for such courtesy. Uncle is in a crucial stage of seclusion. You should quickly go in and break through, otherwise little Xianqian will be worried sick."

Li Qianqian said with a blush, "Aunt Zi Wu, what are you saying?"

At this time, she also felt relieved. It was good that her husband was fine.

Li Zi Wu was already a golden core intermediate stage cultivator. Managing the Falling Glow Secret Realm, she cultivated very quickly, and because she managed many spiritual planters, she had matured a lot.

Hearing Li Qianqian's words, she shook her head speechlessly and asked, "Brother family head, did Uncle ask if Xiantian has returned?"

Li Zixuan shook his head and said, "He went to the tenan continent for training and to do something. He won't be back that quickly."

Li Zi Wu nodded and said, "Uncle said, wait another three hundred years. The Li Family only needs three hundred years to completely suppress them. Uncle and Xiantian, you shouldn't be anxious."

Three hundred years is not long for cultivators, especially for those Li Family members who have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Li Zixuan didn't answer, but instead asked, "How is Father?"

Li Zi Wu said, "Uncle has already broken through to the Golden Core Peak and has now begun to attempt breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. There will be a result in at most five years."

"Oh, right, Uncle said to leave ten percent of the spiritual stones accumulated over the years as backup, and take the rest all in to him."

"Uncle also asked you to collect strange and bizarre items, hoping you will keep it in mind."

Li Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go do it now."

Over the past fifty years, all the resources of the entire Tianmen Island, plus the surrounding small archipelagos, have belonged to the Li Family. Even Tianmen Island only kept thirty percent of the spiritual stones as backup, and the rest were sent to the Li Family.

There were countless storage bags containing spiritual stones in the Li Family's treasury, each containing millions of spiritual stones.

Roughly calculated, the Li Family had nearly nine hundred million spiritual stones.

Leaving ninety million spiritual stones, the remaining were eight hundred and ten million, which was not weak compared to many large forces with Nascent Soul Stage experts.

The Heaven's Gate Archipelago and the surrounding nine small archipelagos all belonged to the Li Family, which was something other nascent soul forces could not achieve.

In fact, nearly half of it came from the Li Family's Luoxia Merchant Guild. Because of the foundation laid by the Spirit Stone Alliance, the Luoxia Merchant Guild quickly established itself in various archipelagos.

Because the security in each place was good, when the Li Family delivered goods, there were several golden core later stage family members, and not many people dared to provoke them.

The Li Family's elixirs, magic treasures, formations, talismans, spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, and other resources covered the entire sphere of influence north of the Wuya Sword Sect.

In the large market towns in each large archipelago, there was bound to be a presence of the Luoxia Merchant Guild, and the Spirit Stone Alliance did not miss the medium and small market towns around these large market towns.

Although the Spirit Stone Alliance followed a low-level route, it occupied a large market share, and its profits over the years were also quite substantial.

Because of the relationship between Tianmen Island and the Li Family's secret realm, Li Ziyu did not lack Foundation Establishment Pills. Although the Spirit Stone Alliance currently only had one Golden Core Stage cultivator, there were quite a few Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, numbering over thirty.

Although the Spirit Stone Alliance was not strong enough, under the protection of Tianmen Island and the Li Family, no one in the various forces in the north of the Wuya Sword Sect's sphere of influence was willing to provoke them.

When over eight hundred million spiritual stones were brought into the secret realm, Li Haotian was severely shocked.

In his seclusion place, Li Haotian asked, "Did you keep any spiritual stones for purchasing cultivation resources?"

Li Zi Wu said with a smile, "Actually, our family's Luoxia Merchant Guild can already be completely self-sufficient, and coupled with the low-level resources provided by the Spirit Stone Alliance, the Li Family does not lack resources at all."

"It's just that all the supreme grade elixirs you left have been completely consumed. What do you think?"

Li Haotian nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, go have Zixuan send in fifty thousand Golden Core Stage cultivation elixirs, five hundred thousand Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation elixirs, and five million qi refining stage cultivation elixirs."

Li Zi Wu quickly said, "Yes, Uncle, I'll go right away."

Li Haotian calculated inwardly that these elixirs would consume two hundred and fifty million spiritual stones, which was enough for the Li Family to consume for a period of time.
