75: Medium-sized Ultimate Spiritual Vein

Currently, the Li Family has a large population. Due to cultivating the basic spiritual root cultivation method, their lifespan has unknowingly increased significantly, leading to a much faster population growth for the Li Family.

Luoxia Island was already packed with people at this time. If Li Zixuan hadn't conveyed that this was Haotian old ancestor's command, such a large crowd would likely have caused a disturbance.

Li Haotian took out the basic spiritual root cultivation method and said, "System, upgrade me by one level."

"Ding, upgrade successful. Cost: twenty million spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the intermediate spiritual root cultivation method."

Intermediate spiritual root cultivation method? It seems it has advanced.

Li Haotian was overjoyed and quickly checked it out, his face full of smiles.

Very few people could cultivate a spiritual root with the basic spiritual root cultivation method, and those who could obtain a spiritual root at most only had four or five spiritual roots.

Although cultivating the Li Family's techniques with five spiritual roots was quite powerful, the actual cultivation speed was not impressive. Even if the Li Family possessed vast resources, it would still take a long time for them to cultivate to the golden core and Nascent Soul Stages.

The intermediate spiritual root cultivation method is different. It can allow one or two thousandths of the Li Family members to possess a spiritual root, with a high possibility of three spiritual roots appearing.

Seeing this, Li Haotian couldn't help but smile. "Good stuff!" he thought. The Li Family has over two million members. Even if only one thousandth of the members cultivate a spiritual root, that's still over two thousand people.

Currently, the number of people in the Li Family with spiritual roots is only over four hundred. If over two thousand people suddenly emerged, that would be the true rise.

Thinking of this, Li Haotian said with a smile, "Zixuan, pass this down and let them comprehend it well. Whether they can become immortal cultivators depends on this time."

Possessing a spiritual root means one can become an immortal cultivator, and becoming a qi refining stage immortal cultivator means an increase in lifespan.

Even people in their seventies or eighties whose lifespan is nearing its end, if they possess a spiritual root and cultivate to the first layer of qi refining stage, can live to one hundred and twenty years old without illness or disaster.

Forty years might not be much to other cultivators, but under the Li Family's supreme grade elixirs, successfully achieving foundation establishment is not difficult.

Li Zixuan quickly accepted the intermediate spiritual root cultivation method, examined it carefully, and looked at Li Haotian in shock, asking, "Father, is this real?"

Li Haotian nodded slightly and said, "Yes!, go let them cultivate. Let's see how many can cultivate spiritual roots with the help of this spiritual energy tide."

Li Zixuan was overjoyed. The number of immortal cultivators had always been the Li Family's weakness. If the Li Family had more immortal cultivators, the Luoxia Merchant Guild could expand further and acquire more resources.

Over the years, not to mention the income from the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, the income from the Luoxia Merchant Guild alone was already enough for them to cultivate more golden core cultivators.

Even without Li Haotian's supreme grade elixirs, relying on the Luoxia Merchant Guild and the Li Family members who cultivated the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, they could be self-sufficient.

Li Haotian naturally knew this situation, but if he could quickly enhance the Li Family's strength, what did it matter if he spent some spiritual stones?

But if this spiritual vein is upgraded, the Li Family will possess a medium-sized supreme grade spiritual vein. By then, the Li Family qi refining stage cultivators could break through to the tenth layer of qi refining stage just by absorbing spiritual energy.

After Li Zixuan passed down the intermediate spiritual root cultivation method, the Li Family members who received the update were delighted. This way, their chances of possessing a spiritual root increased.

Everyone began cultivating. With the Li Family cultivators distributing grain abstention pills, the Li Family members wouldn't go hungry either.

Time flew by. Three months later, everyone was familiar with the intermediate spiritual root cultivation method, and Li Haotian was also ready.

First, Li Haotian included the four islands of azure dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and black tortoise within the area and said, "System, upgrade Luoxia Island and the four azure dragon islands, and merge them into one."

"Ding, upgrade successful. Cost: ten million spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one large island."

It actually cost ten million spiritual stones, making Li Haotian's heart ache slightly.

But soon he became excited. Firstly, Luoxia Island had become enormous. If the previous Luoxia Island was only a hundred square kilometers, the current Luoxia Island was a large island of three thousand square kilometers.

An island like this is temporarily enough for the members to live on.

When there are more members in the future, Li Haotian's secret realm and cave heaven will likely become usable, and it's not impossible for the entire Li Family to practice immortal cultivation.

Thinking of this, Li Haotian couldn't help but laugh and say, "Since that's the case, then upgrade the spiritual vein as much as possible. Upgrade it to the maximum limit for me."

"Ding, upgrade successful. Cost: four hundred million spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a medium-sized supreme grade spiritual vein."

Li Haotian nodded slightly. This number was still within his acceptable range.

"System, check how many spiritual stones I have."

Host: Li Haotian

Age: 211 / 1200

Cultivation Level: early stage nascent soul

Spiritual Stones: 110 million

Remarks: Spiritual stones can upgrade any treasures.

Li Haotian shook his head helplessly. The spiritual stones were spent so fast again. From 1.1 billion spiritual stones to 110 million spiritual stones, it only took a short three months.

"Alas, I'm spending too much! But it's alright, the spiritual stones spent were all for resources useful to the Li Family."

The spiritual stones were almost depleted. Li Haotian was quite speechless. Other treasures that needed upgrading could only wait until next time.

At this moment, the entire Luoxia Island began to shake. The surrounding spiritual energy was continuously drawn in, rapidly condensing and compressing, even turning into spiritual rain.

The Li Family members quickly sat down cross-legged and began cultivating rapidly.

Time passed bit by bit. Li Haotian also sat on the ground and cultivated, but he did not absorb too much spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy didn't have much effect on him; it was better to let the members use it.

Instead, the Tianmen Island Lord not far away quickly absorbed the spiritual rain, stabilizing the cultivation level he had already broken through.

Time flew by. Half a year passed. The spiritual energy on the entire Luoxia Island was dense. The spiritual energy on Luoxia Peak was abundant, having already liquefied. The Outer Perimeter was almost entirely misty spiritual energy, and there was even quite a bit of spiritual energy flowing towards the outside of the island.

Again, large numbers of monsters continuously attacked Luoxia Island. This time, Li Haotian did not move, and neither did the Li Family members.

In such a good cultivation environment, Li Haotian couldn't bear to miss it, let alone the other Li Family cultivators.

However, when they charged in, they were blocked by the formation outside, and the rest were killed by four early stage deity transformation puppets.

A year later, Li Haotian stood up and silently said, "System, upgrade the island protection formation, cover the entire island, spend all spiritual stones."

"Ding, upgrade successful. Cost: all spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the peak fifth level island protection formation — Four Symbols Sword Rain Formation."

Li Haotian was overjoyed. It was actually a peak fifth level formation.

A fifth level formation is equivalent to deity transformation cultivation level, and a peak fifth level is equivalent to peak deity transformation. This is not just defense; it also has offense.

Looking at it this way, Li Haotian's expenditure of over a hundred million spiritual stones was too worthwhile.

Suddenly, Li Haotian looked towards the Tianmen Island Lord. The Tianmen Island Lord opened his eyes, and his appearance had become much younger.

"Hahaha, Nascent Soul Stage, this island lord has finally broken through."

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage can extend one's lifespan by five hundred years and grants powerful strength. This is a realm all immortal cultivators yearn for.

However, this realm already belongs to high-level cultivators, and the required resources are not something ordinary people can afford.

Even when breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, many cultivators cannot afford the Core Formation Pill, let alone treasures like the Nascent Soul Pill for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The resources that can allow cultivators to break through to the nascent soul are rarely circulated. The former Tianmen Island had them, but the current Tianmen Island simply cannot find them.

Otherwise, with the Tianmen Island Lord's cultivation level, he would have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until marrying into the Li Family to obtain the ten thousand year earth milk. From this, the importance of nascent soul cultivators to the major powers is evident.
