Chapter 1016 Experience
It can be said that most of the Li family's Lianxu clan members are quite proud people, and a large part of them want to walk their own path.
Among them, some are down and out and continue to move forward along the path opened up by their predecessors, while others, like Daqing and Amu, have successfully stepped out of their own tortuous paths.
But no matter what the way, the Li family has always maintained an upbeat and enterprising attitude. As long as they can continue to maintain it, the development prospects of the Li family are absolutely bright and broad.
"After the Dharma image is condensed, it's time to go out and broaden your horizons." Li Zhirui murmured to himself. As the voice faded, a spiritual light rose from the cave and turned it upside down inside.
For the next few decades, Li Zhirui retreated in the cave and worked hard to condense the Dharma image.
During this period, he only went out twice, when Yue Jiao and Xiao Yue passed the tribulation, and after breaking through the fusion, he took the image stone from Li Taiyao.
"Sure enough! Heaven favors Shuo'er and the other two, and the power of the thunder tribulation has been weakened a lot." Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could easily judge it from the picture in the image stone, which also confirmed Li Zhirui's guess.
"Is it because of the favor of Taiyin Star's luck?"
This is the only possible situation that Li Zhirui thinks is possible. After all, the changes of Li Chengshuo and the other two are all caused by Taiyin Star.
As for whether it is good or bad, he doesn't know, but as of now, it is definitely more beneficial than harmful!
You know, after Li Chengshuo broke through the fusion, his cultivation speed is still exaggerated. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles a day. The progress of condensing the Dharma is also very fast. It is just around the corner to catch up with or even surpass Li Zhirui.
And this is the result of Li Chengshuo's deliberate suppression, otherwise he would have surpassed Li Zhirui long ago.
Such a cultivation speed has brought huge pressure to all the high-level cultivators in the family, and they are more diligent and hardworking than before.
…
One day when Li Zhirui had been in seclusion for decades, the spiritual light in his sea of consciousness gathered and slowly outlined a three-inch "child" as white as jade, with clear facial features and five elements of divine light.
And this is Li Zhirui's Dharma image, and it is also the basis for his breakthrough in the fusion realm.
Don't think that the Dharma image is only three inches. If it is activated, it will be as high as 25 feet!
In order to break through the Mahayana in the fusion realm, the Dharma image needs to break through the limit of 100 feet. The boundary is 33 feet, which is divided into the three realms of the front, middle and back of the fusion.
If Li Zhirui wants to break through the middle stage of the fusion, he only needs to expand the Dharma image by 9 feet.
But don't think that the remaining 9 feet is easy just because Li Zhirui has cultivated a 25-foot Dharma image so quickly. In fact, it is not the case.
The reason why he can have such results just after condensing the Dharma image is all due to the solid foundation he has laid in the past!
In other words, all the accumulations of Li Zhirui in the past have blossomed and borne fruit the moment he condensed the Dharma image.
It is not a big surprise for Li Zhirui, because he knows how deep his accumulation is.
"After staying in the family for so many years, it's time to go out and relax."
This was a decision Li Zhirui had made before he went into seclusion, and he would not regret it now.
Moreover, with the current strength of the Li family, they dare not say that they can dominate one side, but at least they are not afraid of the surrounding forces, so he does not have to worry about the safety of the family at all, and can travel with peace of mind.
Li Zhirui left his cultivation insights over the years, especially the experience of condensing into a Dharma image, in the family, and told the clan leader Li Taiyao where he was going.
"Rui Zu, how long do you plan to go for this experience?"
"I don't know, but at least one or two hundred years." Li Zhirui thought about it, and he couldn't give an accurate answer because he himself was not sure.
In addition, Li Zhirui did not tell anyone else, and quietly left Wanxian Mountain.
This time he went out, he planned to go to the central state of Dongzhou-Kunlun State!
It is known as the birthplace of the immortal way, and it is now the most prosperous place for the immortal way.
Perhaps in other lands, it is difficult to see a combined cultivator on the road, but in Kunlun Province, it can be seen everywhere, even Mahayana and Tribulation can be seen frequently.
And the fairyland that is almost invisible to mortals is not without the opportunity to meet.
Due to the lofty status of Kunlun Province, no force can occupy this place. There are only fairy cities built by various fairyland forces for the monks to live in.
Moreover, the spiritual energy is rich and the luck gathers, so there are many opportunities. Many cultivators have encountered adventures in Kunlun Province and soared to the sky.
Not to mention the distant past, just say that a hundred years ago, there was a Lianxu casual cultivator who got an opportunity in Kunlun Province, and now he is a combined great power.
Precisely because of all kinds of legends and halos, Kunlun Province has become a holy place that all cultivators yearn for!
So when Li Zhirui condensed into a Dharma image and planned to go out for a trip, these three big words appeared in his mind.
Since it was a trip and experience, Li Zhirui did not take the spirit ship, but rode the wind by himself, and the speed was not fast.
However, due to the combined pressure from his body, no cultivators or monsters dared to trouble him. They would avoid him as soon as they saw him from afar, fearing that they would become a ghost for no reason.
Li Zhirui didn't care. Ordinary fighting and fighting didn't help him much. Instead, it was a waste of time.
In this way, Li Zhirui left the northeastern territory under the jurisdiction of Dongyuan Sect without any twists and turns.
But soon, Li Zhirui felt something was wrong. He was not training at all, but just traveling and enjoying the scenery.
Although his mind was peaceful, his realm didn't improve much!
Most cultivators train for a purpose, and Li Zhirui was no exception. He also wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
Finally, after much thought, Li Zhirui decided to go to the secular world and use the world to refine his mind.
There was no other way. Ordinary battles would not improve him much. If he took risks, such as finding a Mahayana monk or bypassing the siege, it would be too dangerous. He would be injured or even die if he was not careful.
So this plan was the last one in Li Zhirui's mind. He would not choose this plan unless there was no other way to go.
Li Zhirui completely restrained his own aura and looked like a young knight with a handsome appearance, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a unique temperament.
It is easy to restrain the aura, but the temperament cannot be changed in a short time.
Li Zhirui put a three-foot green sword on his waist and walked into a mortal city, intending to stay there for a short time.
He seemed to have really transformed into a knight, upright and brave, and would help in time when he saw injustice. Therefore, in just a few months, Li Zhirui's reputation spread throughout the city.
But in the process, he almost offended all the local tyrants!
There was almost no tyrant who didn't want to get rid of Li Zhirui who was in the way, in order to vent his anger.
However, although Li Zhirui sealed his cultivation, his physical strength was still there. It was hard for some mortal warriors to catch him or kill him directly.
"Damn it! Where did that bastard Feng Qingyang come from? His martial arts were so powerful!"
Mortals without spiritual roots could not practice, but they were eager for strength, so they borrowed the method of physical cultivation to polish their bodies and created a mortal martial arts.
Unfortunately, even the most powerful warriors would be at a disadvantage when facing foundation-building cultivators.
"Is he really not a cultivator?" A powerful clan leader doubted.
"No, I specially asked the worshiper to investigate. That person is just a knight." Another person answered with certainty.
Even if the spiritual energy of the universe exists in most lands, even reaching the level of the first-level spiritual veins, it is still far behind the world of cultivation.
In this situation, how many cultivators in the mortal city can have high cultivation?
Unless it is a mortal city of a powerful immortal cultivation family, because there are descendants of the family's bloodline in it, some powerful cultivators will be sent to sit in.
But it is obvious that this is an ordinary mortal city.
How could those cultivators with unstable breath see Li Zhirui's identity?
"In this case, then arrange an army of 200 people. I don't believe that he can escape with such a net of heaven and earth."
"Okay! Just do as Brother Qian said."
In less than half an hour, the army of 200 people formed a formation and surrounded Li Zhirui's residence layer by layer, leaving him no chance to escape.
"You think too highly of me." Li Zhirui looked out through the window and couldn't help laughing.
"Feng Qingyang, if you surrender honestly, you can still save your life. If you are still stubborn and unrepentant, don't blame us for being rude!" A strong man who seemed to have good martial arts skills shouted.
"After dealing with this group of soldiers, it's time to leave." Li Zhirui thought secretly. He didn't plan to stay in one place for too long, because this would lose his purpose of refining his heart in the mortal world.
Clang——
Li Zhirui rushed into the crowd like a fairy from the sky, holding a sword.
The sword light was everywhere, and the soldiers who had originally formed a formation were soon beaten into a small space by him. The ground was covered with blood and flesh, and Li Zhirui looked like he had crawled out of the Asura hell.
The nearby soldiers were terrified, their legs were shaking, and they couldn't even stand steadily. No one came forward to fight Li Zhirui, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.
"Haha, it seems that your plan has failed." Li Zhirui said to a powerful man hiding behind the crowd.
"Damn it! Come on! He is alone. Even if you all die, you have to take him down for me!" The man was so angry that he jumped up and down, and said something that offended everyone without thinking.
"Noisy!"
Li Zhirui snorted coldly, and a cold light flew out of the air. Before he could react, he was pierced through the heart and fell to the ground instantly.
"Do you still want to continue fighting?"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers rolled and crawled to escape far away, fearing that if they were a little slower, they would be stopped by Li Zhirui's sword.
"What a pity."
No one knew what he was regretting. He was wearing a blood-stained robe and slowly walked out of the city. No one dared to stop him along the way. Seeing him walking towards the city gate, all the powerful people breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent away this killing god.
Li Zhirui seemed to have really become a mortal, carrying a bag and slowly walking towards the next city.
One day later, he saw the city gate.
Yicheng, that is its name, and it and the county where Li Zhirui stayed before, plus dozens of county towns, are the territory of a small dynasty here.
This dynasty is very small, and its jurisdiction is only a thousand miles in radius, not even as big as a state.
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. After all, this is a mortal dynasty, and the Yuanling Realm is dominated by cultivators. In addition, the rich spiritual energy is easy to give birth to monsters.
Even if it is just the lowest level monster, it is a disaster for mortals.
In this case, the mortal dynasty is simply unable to control too much territory, so small dynasties are formed.
And these small dynasties are actually agents used by cultivators to control and cultivate mortals, so that they don’t have to waste time doing those trivial things.
As long as the dynasty is stable, the monks can continuously obtain new mortals. The more they are, the more spiritual roots they will have.
Let's talk about it!
After Li Zhirui entered Yi County, he did not dress up as a knight, but a scholar.
But no one dared to look down on him.
A weak scholar can study outside? If he didn't have any strength, how dare he do such a thing.
Li Zhirui used the money in his hand to buy a large courtyard in Nancheng, where the house price was the cheapest, and turned it into an academy to recruit students.
Passers-by were very surprised to see the plaque with the four big characters "Wendao Academy" written on it, because Nancheng was where ordinary people lived, and there was almost no extra money to send their children to study.
But after hearing the next words, they were instantly crazy about it.
Because this Wendao Academy only charged a very small amount of tuition, the price was so low that it could be said to be free.
Although there were many restrictions, such as not including meals, monthly assessments, and persuading students to quit after three failed assessments, etc.
But they ignored all of this. They only knew that their children had the hope of crossing the class and no longer had to be like them, illiterate, working hard all day, but only barely making ends meet.
The news of the establishment of the Wendao Academy spread throughout Yicheng in just one morning.
"Haha, sensationalism, he is just one person, recruiting so many students, it is simply misleading the students!" After hearing this, the other academies all sneered disdainfully.
Some wealthy and powerful tyrants and officials did not care at all. It was just an academy and could not affect their identity and status.
Of course, there was another reason. They did not want to provoke Li Zhirui, a scholar with unknown origins who dared to walk alone.
A few days later, Li Zhirui stood at the gate of the academy and looked at the dark mass in front of him. There were about five or six thousand people in this small space.
"Children under the age of six should go back first. It is not too late to come to the academy when they are old enough."
As for the upper age limit, Li Zhirui did not say.
"All children of the appropriate age can come with me, and parents can only come with one person."
After saying that, Li Zhirui turned and entered the academy.
After a few hours of busy work, he finally finished these trivial matters.
Although it was very troublesome, it was also an experience for Li Zhirui.
Looking at the more than 200 students in front of him, he said: "Let's go back today and come to the academy at noon tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
