Chapter 175 Overcoming the Tribulation

Based on the time it took Li Shiqing to break through the golden elixir, Li Zhirui's retreat will take at least five years, or even longer.

After all, Li Shiqing was in the late stage of foundation building. He didn't know how long it took to polish it, and his foundation was already extremely strong, which was completely incomparable to the current Li Zhirui.

Li Zhirui also understands this, so during this time of retreat, he has set a psychological expectation for himself that it is at least five years, and it is not impossible that it can be as long as ten years. He has already made plans for a 'long-term war'.

When Li Zhirui entered the quiet room for retreat again, Li Shiting and her party sent by the family also quietly came to Qingshan Prefecture.

They brought a large amount of spirit stones, changed their identities several times, and went to several auction houses, and finally bought eight Foundation Establishment Pills.

During this process, they did not encounter danger, but under the siege of four foundation builders and four second-level spiritual beasts, all the monks who attacked them were killed!

Because their movements were concealed and careful enough, no one noticed their true identities.

After circling the boundless sea to make sure no one was following them, they flew towards Darong Island.

"Eight Foundation Establishment Pills are enough for the family to need in the next few years!" Li Shiqing looked at the eight exquisite and cute little jade bottles in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as he survives the past few years and waits for Li Shilian to break through the golden elixir, Yuan Mingzong will not be such a big threat to the family, and there will no longer be such a cautious purchase of foundation-building elixirs.

And if Li Zhirui can break through the golden elixir as soon as possible, then the Li family will be stronger than Yuan Mingzong. If they are willing to pay the price, it is not impossible to eliminate Yuan Mingzong and occupy Yunping Prefecture and Guangqing Prefecture.

Of course, it is not a simple matter to destroy a Jindan force that has been developing for many years.

It can be seen from the fact that Li Shiqing and four golden elixirs teamed up to ambush Yu Qing. They were all prepared, but in the end, Yu Qing took away a golden elixir and injured Jiang Tianming.

Regarding Jiang Tianming, Li Shiqing had always wondered whether he had suffered a serious injury that went deep into his heart and damaged his foundation. Otherwise, how could he not show up for so long?

But he didn't think of another aspect, an aspect that was extremely detrimental to the Li family!

"Second uncle, how is Uncle Lian doing now?" Li Shiren asked.

Li Shiqing thought for a while and said: "The situation looks pretty good, better than when I was in seclusion."

Li Shilian's breakthrough in seclusion was much better than that of Li Shiqing. After all, he had a golden elixir monk who had personal experience and a better external environment.

For example, a richer aura, a more complete understanding of pill formation, and a golden zhi that can increase the probability of pill formation by 10%.

But there is no need to say this.

"That's good." Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were very worried that Li Shilian's breakthrough would fail. If it really failed, the Li family would definitely be greatly affected!

"Practice hard, and you will be able to break through the golden elixir one day!" Li Shiqing encouraged.

Li Shiting and Li Shiren had a hint of bitterness on their faces, and it was obvious that they knew that the possibility of forming a pill was not high.

Li Zhiyue looked indifferent. With her qualifications, it was only a matter of time before she reached the golden elixir. What originally held her back was her lack of character. After several years of experience, this shortcoming has been corrected.

Li Zhixuan's face was also very calm, but her expectant and determined eyes revealed everything.

As for Li Zhizhun, his mentality has long since calmed down, and he would be very satisfied if his cultivation level could be improved.

The two newly promoted foundation builders of the remaining families were a bit too far away to tell them this.

Time flies by, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, the family's strength has reached a new level. Many of the original large number of children have grown up and can be used to complete some simple tasks.

This will not only alleviate the serious shortage of manpower on the island, but also give these newly grown monks a way to obtain contribution points and exchange for more resources.

In fact, the Li family has always been troubled by a problem, that is, there are not enough manpower! Even now!

After all, there is no telling how much land can be developed on Darong Island today, and there are three spiritual islands to the east to divide the population, so there are still not many manpower.

Fortunately, this problem will be alleviated in a few years. Maybe the Li family will have to endure the 'suffering' of too many monks in the future.

If Li Shiqing and others were given a choice, they would never give up this 'pain'.

"It should be almost the same in terms of time." Li Shiqing murmured to himself.

He has been counting the days since Li Shilian retreated, and now it has been nearly seven years since he retreated!

But unfortunately, the spiritual acupoint where Li Shilian was located was dull and there was no movement at all.

It wasn't until half a year later, when clouds of calamity began to gather over Darong Island, and Li Shilian sat cross-legged on a futon to prepare for the calamity, that everyone realized what was happening.

"Uncle Lian, has he really succeeded?" Li Shiren murmured to himself.

In fact, he is a little confused now. He doesn't know how he will develop next. If he steadily moves towards the late stage of foundation building and then works hard to refine his magic power, it is not impossible to break through the golden elixir.

But the probability is very low in a short time!

Because he neither has Li Shiqing's years of accumulation, nor Li Shilian's assistance with Jinzhi, nor even Li Zhirui, but at least he still has a large number of elixirs for him to take to speed up the accumulation of mana.

"Everyone, stay three miles away from the spiritual cave and don't get close!" Li Shiqing's voice instantly spread to the ears of all the tribesmen who came to watch.

No one dared to delay, and they all retreated towards the distance. Although they had never seen thunder tribulation, the characteristics of thunder tribulation were still very clear, and naturally they could not cause trouble to Li Shilian.

The dark clouds of calamity in the sky quickly condensed into shape, giving people a very strong sense of oppression. Everyone found it difficult to breathe.

However, this kind of pressure that does not harm the body cannot make them leave the position where they can watch the thunder calamity at close range.

Boom!

Not long after, under everyone's gaze, the calamity cloud dropped the first calamity thunder!

Compared with Li Shiqing's ability to deal with Jie Lei, Li Shilian was much worse, but fortunately, he was able to handle it safely in the end.

The second calamity thunder came as promised, forcing Li Shilian to destroy the magic weapon in his hand, and then he was able to hold the calamity thunder.

"This accumulation is still a bit lacking." Li Shiqing said softly on the side.

But it is impossible for Li Shilian to delay a few more years for the sake of accumulation, because he is already not young!

The third tribulation thunder was the fastest, and everyone only saw a little light. In an instant, Li Shilian was overwhelmed by the tribulation thunder.
