Chapter 16: Changing the cultivation method and family difficulties

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Li Changsheng went down the mountain to accompany his parents. During this time, he also learned to cook. The family was happy.

Li Changsheng named the tiger cave of the tiger monster "Ganyang Cave".

At this moment, in the secret room under Ganyang Cave, Li Changsheng was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. The stone bed was covered with dense spiritual stones. Li Daozong looked at him solemnly.

Since he got the [Ganyang Immortal Sutra], he naturally had to change to this method. However, because Yang Dingtian killed Li Zhenyuan, the grandfather and grandson were also worried about whether there was a problem with this method, so they were both worried.

At this time, Li Changsheng said, "Grandpa, you go out!"

"Have you decided?"

"This technique is tailor-made for me. If I don't practice it, I will feel uneasy. Since the master is willing to accept me as a disciple, there is absolutely no reason for him to harm me again."

At this point, Li Changsheng paused and continued, "If there is really a problem, it is also a disaster in my grandson's life. I should see this person's face clearly."

Originally, he did not doubt the problem of the technique, but Yang Dingtian killed his clansmen, and what he said was also untrue, which made him feel resentful towards this master.

Li Daozong nodded and said, "Since you have decided, grandpa supports you. I will protect you outside the door."

Li Daozong walked out after he finished speaking. He also understood his grandson's thoughts. No one would not be tempted by a fairy technique, especially when it is so compatible with his physique. Even if there is a trap, he has to try how deep it is.

After Li Dao Zong walked out of the door, Li Changsheng took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a determination, and his hands formed a complex hand seal.

"Disperse!"

As soon as the voice fell, it was as if the sound of a ball leaking air was heard, and a huge spiritual energy spread out from his body. In just a moment, he lost all his magic power and returned to the perfection of body refining.

"Huh! Fortunately, I was mentally prepared. This feeling is not ordinary."

At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on Li Changsheng's forehead. One hand supported the edge of the stone bed, looking a little weak.

When a cultivator changes his cultivation method, he does not need to disperse his power, but only needs to assimilate the previous magic power.

However, since he has obtained such an advanced method, he discussed with his grandfather and decided to practice from the beginning, so that his magic power will be purer and his foundation will be more solid.

Of course, this is because his realm is relatively low, and dispersing his power and re-cultivating will not have much impact on him. If he has already established his foundation, he will not do this.

As for why the mana was dispersed when the body was perfected, it was because the body refining period only focused on the physical training, and had not yet drawn the qi into the body, so there was no mana in the body.

And the perfection of body refining is also the limit that mortals can achieve, because mortals have no spiritual roots in their bodies, they cannot sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot draw the qi into the body to open up the Dantian.

And Li Changsheng only needs to replace the mana from the previous practice, and there is no need to disperse the power of the body refining period and become a mortal with no power.

After a short rest, Li Changsheng sat up again with a feeling of discomfort and nausea, and then went through the [Gan Yang Immortal Sutra] in his mind. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he closed his eyes and entered the state of practice.

He made a lotus shape with his hands and silently recited the steps of the practice.

In less than a moment, the spiritual energy that had just scattered rushed back to his mouth and nose.

He was in a closed space, and the time for dispersing the power was short, so the spiritual energy did not dissipate in the world.

As the technique was running, Li Changsheng's pores opened up and he devoured the spiritual energy in the secret room crazily.

"Bang!"

With a subtle muffled sound coming from his body, he broke through to the first level of Qi Refining. After all, he was already in the perfect stage of body refining, and with his previous experience, he broke through without any obstacles.

At this time, a golden and red light shield enveloped his body, and the spiritual energy in the secret room rushed into his body crazily.

Li Changsheng did not open his eyes. Although he was re-cultivating, it was not as simple as pouring water from one bowl into another. It would take a long time to return to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

...

Qingyun Island - Qingyun Peak.

At this moment, in Li Daoling's courtyard, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and a green robe was bowing and reporting something to Li Daoling.

"Third uncle, the family's spiritual stones have run out, and in recent years, the business of several family stores has not improved. With the increase in population, many family members can't afford to pay their salaries."

The person who spoke was named Li Tongzhou. Because he was fair, Li Daoling appointed him as the head of the Li family and was responsible for managing all matters of the family.

Li Tongzhou has the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is 52 years old this year. As long as he has the foundation-building pill, he still has a great hope of breaking through the foundation-building period.

Once a cultivator is over 60 years old, the blood in his body will begin to decline, and the body's functions and activity will decline. Therefore, before 60 years old is the best age to build a foundation, and the earlier the better.

Li Daoling looked a little solemn when he heard this. Li Tongzhou had mentioned this issue to him several times, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that he couldn't even pay the salaries of his family members.

As one of the decision makers, he naturally knew the consequences of not being able to pay the salaries of his clan members. At the very least, the clan members would just complain and grumble a few words. At the worst, some people might become disloyal, fan the flames, and even leave the family.

Except for those under 18 years old, all the members of the Li family over 18 years old must start working for the family in exchange for corresponding cultivation resources, regardless of their cultivation level, except for a few talented members such as Li Changsheng.

Spiritual stones are not only the universal currency in the world of immortal cultivation, but also the most basic cultivation resource. If you can't even afford spiritual stones, who will have the motivation to work? There may be no problem in the short term, but it will cause big problems over time.

"Has Tongtian heard from them?"

There are many ways to solve this dilemma, but they are a bit unrealistic for the Li family. What he thought of before was to open up sources of income, so he had sent members out to explore those deserted islands in advance, hoping to find some wild resources.

"Not yet!"

Li Tongzhou shook his head helplessly. It's not easy for him to be the head of the family. Although he has great power, there are too many things to do. Sometimes he doesn't have time to practice. To this day, he still has a heart to build a foundation.

"Alas!"

Li Daoling couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. The visible resources were all divided up by the major forces, and the invisible resources were mostly on those forbidden islands. No one dared to go deep into them. He sent people out to explore the deserted islands just to try his luck.

"Third uncle, I suggest that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Chang generation clan members be reduced to sixteen years old, and they should be assigned to various stores of the family early, or join the monster hunting team. If you continue to eat up the resources like this, I'm afraid that even you, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle will have no resources."

The eldest of the Li family's Chang generation clan members is about thirty years old, and the youngest has just been born. The Yun generation clan members have also been born a long time ago, and many of them are of the same age but different generations.

Li Daoling pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's do as you say, but Changsheng must stay in the family, and the resources cannot be reduced. At least we have to wait until he builds his foundation."

"Third uncle, this, this is not fair!"

Li Tongzhou was embarrassed, because in his opinion, although Li Changsheng was also a genius with dual spiritual roots, there were two other people with dual spiritual roots in the family besides Li Changsheng. Although Li Changsheng's grandfather was Li Dao Zong, it didn't have to be so obvious to use the backdoor!
