Chapter 974 Thoughts
Because "Earth Spirit Taoist Records" itself has several flaws that cannot be ignored!
First, the spiritual seeds refined by the skills will be fixed when the blessed land is opened or even promoted to the cave. In other words, if you want to get the blessing of the skills, you can only stay in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain.
But this is not realistic!
Not everyone has Da Qing's stable state of mind and Taoism. The vast majority of clan members need to improve themselves through experience. Even Li Zhirui cannot avoid this problem.
In this way, the improvement in strength they want is often impossible to achieve, and is not as good as the "All Spirits Sutra". After all, contracted spirit beasts can follow them around and increase their own strength.
Secondly, "Earth Spirit Taoist Records" has relatively high qualification requirements!
That's not to say that tribesmen with ordinary qualifications can't practice, but in terms of the speed of practice, the advantage in this aspect is completely inferior to the "All Spirits Sutra".
Because of the special nature of the "All Spirits Sutra", when the spiritual beasts' cultivation level is improved, it will feed back a lot of mana to the monks, greatly reducing their training time, and it can also slightly improve their qualifications.
Finally, modification is not without risks, but is a very dangerous thing!
Even though Li Zhirui's modification was very easy, that was because his realm was high enough, he could comprehend the "Earth Spirit Taoist Records" from a high position, and he had a large number of top-quality treasure pills guaranteed.
But how many tribesmen can meet these two conditions?
If the clansmen are allowed to blindly modify their skills, it may cause serious casualties, and the family's strength will definitely decline by then!
The Li family has already been weakened a lot due to the successive sea wars and monster invasions. If there are more casualties, it will be faster and more difficult for the family to recover.
Therefore, Li Hongshi and a group of elders discussed and decided to hold an all-family meeting to tell all clan members about these issues and not to blindly and impulsively modify the exercises.
Due to the establishment of the large fleet, the exchanges between Wanxian Mountain and Wanling Island were relatively frequent, so it didn't take long for the clan members to also know what happened on Wanling Island.
There was even a photographic stone of Li Zhirui's battle being widely circulated, which was why it had such a big impact that Li Hongshi had to come forward.
Fortunately, the tribesmen still have sense and are not really superior. After analyzing the pros and cons, many tribesmen gave up the idea of revising.
However, after this incident, "Di Ling Dao Lu" has really become famous in the Li family.
Before that, the clansmen only knew that the family had an extra skill that could be used to cultivate to the Mahayana realm - because practicing to the fairyland was too attention-grabbing, only a small number of people knew about it - but they didn't really care about it. Anyway, " "All Spirits Sutra" can also cultivate to the Mahayana realm.
After all, for most of the tribe, Mahayana is too far away for them. It is a luxury hope. Who cares about this.
Afterwards, Li Zhirui was very surprised when he heard the news, because he didn't expect that it would cause such a big disturbance within the family. The purpose of showing his strength was to deter other forces!
Under the circumstances, if he really compromised and took a step back, other damaged forces would definitely swarm in and demand compensation from the Li family.
Not to mention that the Li family doesn’t have that much resources to compensate, even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to give it!
Giving it away will not only make the family distraught, but also cause heavy losses to the family. Most importantly, it will make people think that the Li family is easy to bully.
So Li Zhirui wanted to cut through the mess quickly and use his strong strength to deter those forces with other intentions.
Fortunately, Li Hongshi and others dealt with it in a timely manner and the results were very good, without really triggering a large-scale renovation trend.
——
Li Zhirui's display of his own strength not only caused a big disturbance within the family, but also shocked all the forces in the Gulf and Sea.
"You mean, Li Zhirui alone can easily deal with several monks in the middle stage of Void Refining, and even kill them if he is willing?"
A certain Void Refining cultivator who heard the news asked with a suspicious look on his face: "I admit that Li Zhirui is not weak. With the secret technique in his hand, he even killed a late-sixth-order water monster."
"But the secret method cannot last long. This is known to all. Why do you think he can kill several Void Refining monks who are higher than him?"
"When we rushed over, the battle was coming to an end, but we also saw with our own eyes that he defeated the killing moves of those Void Refining monks at the same time with just one move!"
He said with a solemn face: "Although the distance is relatively far, the few disciples who saw it with their own eyes did not notice that Li Zhirui's aura was weak. On the contrary, he was unfathomable, his aura was as strong as an abyss, and he could continue to fight!"
"Could this be Li Zhirui's disguise? In fact, he is already strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and his magic power has been exhausted." Most people still don't believe this news.
Because if it was really like what he said, then Li Zhirui's strength would be too terrifying.
If it were said that Li Zhirui came from a certain fairyland force and had a very profound background, maybe they would still believe it, but everyone knows his origin, and he is a newly built virtual refining force after his escape.
Counting the escape, the Li family could not have been a fairyland force, because if the fairyland force was really destroyed, it would definitely be a earth-shattering event, and it would be widely spread throughout the Yuanling world, let alone Dongzhou.
"But even so, Li Zhirui's demonstrated strength deserves our attention!"
"Yeah, and I heard that he is also a sixth-level alchemy master. Maybe he will beg someone for help at some point. Let's establish a good relationship with the Li family first. If we really need to ask for something in the future, it's easy to ask."
Although in the Yuanling world, the status of alchemists is not so high because the inheritance is orderly and the number of alchemists is very large; in addition, because various heavenly materials and earthly treasures are more common in the world and can replace treasure pills, it is still relatively Respected.
As for the forces that plan to make good friends with the Li family, it is not just one or two families, but many forces have this idea. The Void Refining forces want to have a good relationship with them, or at least not be at odds with them.
Those low-level forces want to become vassals of the Li family. Fortunately, they have a strong backer in the dangerous sea. If they encounter any danger in the future, they can also have someone to rely on.
So in the next period of time, there was an endless stream of monks coming to Wanling Island to visit.
Unfortunately, Li Zhirui was practicing in seclusion and could not see him in person. It was Li Chengsheng who came to receive the virtual cultivators on his behalf.
Li Chengsheng just dealt with these forces and did not make any guarantees.
And those weak forces who wanted to join the Li family chose to refuse after discussion with the elders!
It's not that the Li family doesn't accept vassalage, but in this dangerous area near the sea, they won't consider it without sufficient strength.
After all, after receiving offerings from others, you must help when you are in danger, otherwise it will definitely make people laugh and greatly affect the reputation of the Li family.
But if they help, the Li family's strength in Wanling Island will not be able to take care of so many places. If the Li family themselves suffer heavy losses, it will be too much!
Therefore, after discussion among the elders on the island, and with Li Chengsheng's consent, the answer was clearly told to the small forces.
——
"Are you planning to go out for training, look for high-level spiritual seeds, and improve your skills?" Li Zhirui couldn't help but frowned after hearing Daqing's plan.
To be honest, he was unwilling to agree.
This is not in the Xuanyuan Realm. As a foreign Daqing, the Nascent Soul Realm is enough to protect one's own safety. In the Yuanling Realm, let alone the Nascent Soul, even the combined and Mahayana spiritual beasts may not be able to experience alone outside. safe!
Because in the eyes of many monks, people who are not from my race must have different minds! Even if it is a spiritual beast contracted with a monk.
Of course, it sounds nice, but in essence it is just profit. You must know that a high-level spiritual beast can be divided into many spiritual beings.
It would be no problem if Li Zhirui went with him. With him here, if some monks wanted to attack Daqing, it would be like robbing him. This was worth considering for many monks.
Especially if Daqing goes out independently, it will give people the impression that he has defected or even killed a monk. There will definitely be many monks who want to take action against him.
But unfortunately, the timing is very unlucky!
Li Zhirui is currently busy laying a solid foundation and restoring his cultivation, and he really doesn't have time to practice with Daqing.
Daqing also knew this, so he proposed to practice alone, not wanting to disturb him.
Daqing looked at Li Zhirui's face and knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not like I haven't practiced outside before."
"Can that be the same?"
At that time, Daqing, Xiaoqing, and Xiaocang were training together, and the location was in Shanyuan Prefecture, just the Zhang family in the south.
"What's the difference?" Daqing shook his head, obviously determined to go out to practice, no matter who tried to persuade him, it would not work.
So in the end Li Zhirui took a step back, but he asked Daqing to make preparations, especially the treasure pills and life-saving spiritual objects, the more the better.
"You are going out this time to find high-level spiritual species, so I will tell you a few immature ideas and see if they work."
"Brother Jiu, just say it." Daqing suddenly became serious.
Previously, Li Zhirui planned to find spiritual seeds by himself and complete the experience at the same time, but now that Daqing is going out, it is better to express these thoughts first.
"First of all, I have thought before that if we find a special spiritual seed that can be planted in the body or grow in the sea of consciousness, will that be able to change one of the shortcomings of the "Earth Spirit Dao Record"?"
Li Zhirui continued: "Second, if you choose a space-type spiritual object, you may have to plant it in the outside world to open up a blessed land in the early stage. But when you are promoted to a cave, can you open it in the spiritual object? Then use the cloud and earth. It is a kind of means to carry spiritual objects, so as to achieve the effect of carrying them with you."
Daqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Logically speaking, Li Zhirui's inference was valid.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Ninth, both of your guesses are feasible to a certain extent. As for whether they can be realized, we have to do experiments to know."
"Actually, I have always wanted to try it, but I have so many things to do that I really can't spare the time." Li Zhirui sighed and said helplessly.
Of course, this kind of tentative move will not be conducted on family members. Some demon cultivators, robbery cultivators, and evil cultivators will be used as experimental candidates.
And the most critical thing was the two types of spiritual species he mentioned. Li Zhirui had no time to inquire about this information.
So I simply took this opportunity to hand over these two tasks to Daqing.
"I'll try to collect it."
At the same time, Daqing was also thinking in his mind that if these two methods were really feasible, he should not be so anxious to modify the technique.
Half a year flies by in a blink of an eye.
Daqing made all kinds of preparations and left Wanling Island quietly one day.
"I hope everything goes well, and I hope you can come back safely!" Li Zhirui murmured to himself.
When Da Qing could no longer be seen at all, he turned around and returned to the cave on the island.
For a long time, Li Zhirui did not show up again, and the Li family also maintained a low profile and gradually fell silent in the Gulf and Strait waters.
However, the spirit stone veins on the island gave the Li family a huge surprise!
With continuous excavation, the quality of spiritual stones is getting higher and higher, with 70% of them being top grade, half being top grade, and most of the rest being mid-grade, and they are still improving!
This huge surprise made the Li family very excited.
Because high-level spiritual stones are not only more valuable, but also if spiritual veins want to be promoted to a higher realm, high-level spiritual stones are indispensable.
In other words, the spiritual veins of the Li Family's Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain are ready to prepare for promotion to the seventh level.
Of course, this was no small matter and a decision was not made so quickly.
The biggest obstacle is that the family's strength is not strong. If there is a seventh-level spiritual vein, there is no guarantee that no one will come to snatch it from the combined forces.
Therefore, the Li family did not consider promoting the spiritual pulse to the seventh level before it was strong enough.
As for these high-quality spirit stones, the Li family didn't use them much. After counting them and confirming that they were correct, they kept them in a spirit-sealing box. They would definitely come in handy in the future.
Because the Li family's current earning power is still very strong, with huge annual expenditures, but even greater profits.
——
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed by.
"Dad, don't you plan to go back?" Li Chengsheng asked.
Ten years is exactly the time for the Lianxu tribe to take turns stationed at Wanling Island, and Li Chengsheng and others have to go back, and Xiaoqing and others will come to take charge.
In the past ten years, the Sea Clan has never given up and will launch attacks every once in a while, hoping to capture a spiritual island.
It's a pity that the Sea Clan didn't completely succeed once!
Even though there were several situations where the island-protecting formation was shattered by the Sea Clan, the surrounding forces did not sit back and do nothing. Instead, they stepped in to help expel the Sea Clan and retake the Spirit Island.
Li Zhirui shook his head and said: "The sea is not calm now, so I can't go back."
Because the Li family also encountered a very dangerous sea tribe attack, with hundreds of thousands of sea tribesmen and dozens of sixth-order water monsters, the island defense formation was really in a shaky state.
As a last resort, Li Zhirui, who was in retreat, could only be invited out. Only then could the formation be saved and the dangerous attack resolved. (End of chapter)
