Chapter 207 Retreat

Li Zhirui naturally agreed to Li Shiqing's arrangement, but he did not leave the family in a hurry, but stayed on Darong Island for several days.

During this period of time, in addition to refining the elixir, he either went to Linghui Academy to teach the young tribesmen, or went to the Alchemy Peak to guide the tribesmen in refining the elixir.

It is worth mentioning that among the new generation of clan members, there is one who has a very good talent in alchemy. His name is Li Chenghua, so he has been specially trained by the family, and he himself is also very ambitious and has successfully broken through the foundation building.

Among the many clan members of the adult generation, apart from him, there are many who are worthy of the family's focus on training.

For example, Li Chenghao, who has the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, is not only good in qualifications, but also quite talented in refining weapons. With the help of earth fire, he can actually refine a second-level magic weapon through Qi training!

As soon as this incident came out, the family's senior officials were ecstatic.

After all, among the six arts of cultivation, there is Li Shiqing in talismans, Li Zhirui and Li Zhiyue in alchemy, and there is also a latecomer Li Chenghua, and Li Shiren is also very accomplished in formations.

Not to mention spiritual planting and beast control. The former is a skill that all forces must master, and the latter is the foundation of the Li family.

Only weapon refining has been holding back, and so far there has not been a second-level alchemist in the Li family!

The emergence of Li Chenghao just filled this gap.

It does not mean that all forces must be proficient in the six arts, but the stronger the force and the deeper the foundation, the higher the shortcomings in the six arts.

In addition to these two people, there are several good juniors among the adults, but Li Zhirui did not find anyone like Li Zhixuan among them.

Thinking about it, Li Zhixuan had such a calm and indifferent temperament at a young age. Is this something ordinary people can have?

In this way, Li Zhirui stayed on Darong Island for more than half a month without any incident, then returned to the small courtyard, hung a retreat slogan on the door, activated the courtyard's formation, and looked like he was going to retreat.

But in fact, that night, Li Zhirui quietly left Darong Island and flew towards Qingshan Prefecture in Xiaoqing.

And the news that he had broken through the golden elixir in seclusion also spread like wildfire, and reached the ears of countless monks at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh my god! How old is Li Zhirui! He is only fifty or sixty years old at most, and now he is preparing to retreat to break through the golden elixir!"

A certain qi-training monk looked a little exaggerated and said: "I am not a few years younger than him, but one is still lingering in the qi-training stage, and the other is about to break through the golden elixir and become a being that everyone respects!"

"What?! Is he so young?"

"You are about to break through the Golden Elixir at a young age. Wouldn't it be possible to break through the Nascent Soul in the future?"

The news became more and more exaggerated, but the Li family's purpose was also accomplished in the process. After all, the purpose of doing this was mainly to mislead Yuan Mingzong.

"Do you think the news coming from the Li family is reliable?" As soon as the head of Yuanmingzong heard the news, he immediately summoned the foundation-building monks in the mountain gate and asked seriously.

An elder said: "I think it should be true. After all, Li Zhirui was in the late stage of foundation building a few years ago. He has not shown up in these years. He probably went out to practice and took the final step."

"I think they did it on purpose. This is very likely to be false news!" There are those who are in favor, and there are naturally those who are against it. No, a senior elder said solemnly.

"If this is a trap, as you said, then what is the purpose of the Li family doing this?"

Even if you want to sabotage Li Zhirui's tribulation, you have to wait until he does so. They have just retreated, and there are still rumors. I don't know how long it will take.

For a moment, the opposing elders were speechless. Yes, if it was a trap, who was it meant to trap?

"Okay, since everyone thinks it is true, the question is, the Li family is about to have a third Jindan monk. How should the sect deal with this?" The leader's expression became more solemn.

Yuan Mingzong has only two Jindan cultivators so far. Although he has never given up cultivating new Jindan cultivators, they have not succeeded so far.

Although Jiang Tianming is in the middle stage of Jin Dan, if he faces the combination of two Jin Dan, it will undoubtedly be a fierce battle!

After all, the rise of the Li family has devoured the interests of the Yuan Mingzong. If it hadn't been for the destruction of the Qingjian Sect, there would have been a lot of conflicts between the Yuanmingzong and the Li family.

They are all foundation-building monks. Is there any way to deal with the golden elixir?

"The only way is to stop Li Zhirui and prevent him from breaking through!" An elder said coldly: "What we have to do next is to wait until the calamity cloud appears over Darong Island!"

No one could think of a better way and could only follow this method.

At this time, Li Zhirui had already arrived in Qingshanfang City and was discussing the leasing matter with the boss of a shop renting Dujie Cave House.

"Fellow Taoist, have you realized something and want to retreat? The cave in our shop is very rich in spiritual energy. We need it every year..."

After saying a lot of useless words, he finally revealed the price, "One year's lease is 60,000 spiritual stones."

This price is not too exaggerated, but Li Zhirui definitely couldn't show such a reaction. Instead, his face turned a little bitter and said, "This price is too high. Can it be cheaper?"

"No!" A glint flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he said immediately: "If the Taoist fellows don't have enough spirit stones in their hands, we can help advance the payment. At that time, we will only need the Taoist fellows to help with some minor matters."

Li Zhirui seemed to have thought deeply about it, and finally shook his head and refused, showing a helpless expression, and said: "I am used to being undisciplined, I am afraid I can't stand this kind of restraint, thank you for your kindness."

After that, without waiting for the shopkeeper to react, he left the store.

The purpose of his doing this was to understand the rent of this type of cave so as not to be cheated.

In the end, Li Zhirui used 58,000 spirit stones for one year's rent to rent a cave that matched his heart for a total of two years.

"Finally all the trivial matters have been taken care of, and we can start retreating!" With a long sigh, Li Zhirui released Daqing and Xiaoqing.

They can help protect the Dharma. After all, when you are away from home, accidents may happen no matter how guaranteed others are, so it is better to take more measures on your own.

"Next, I will trouble you to protect me!" Li Zhirui said softly.

grumble!

Phew!

The two pets nodded repeatedly and agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Da Qing is still in the middle stage of foundation building, but he is only one step away from the later stage. It will not be long before he can break through. Xiao Qing is also in the middle stage of foundation building, but because of insufficient accumulation, there is still a big gap between him and Da Qing. difference.

"This time, I will definitely succeed in breaking through!" After saying that, Li Zhirui turned around and walked into the quiet room to start his last retreat in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
