Chapter 78 Natural Disaster

"I have worked hard for two months to refine the elixir, and now I finally have the materials together." Li Zhirui looked at the mature second-level elixirs in front of him and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

grumble!

Daqing, who was steadily moving towards the ninth level of Qi training, let out a resentful cry.

"I will never neglect you again." Li Zhirui promised with a flattering look on his face.

In order to gather the materials as soon as possible, in the past two months, apart from practicing and learning spells, Li Zhirui was frantically refining various first-level elixirs. He really couldn't spare any time to accompany Daqing.

"When I refine the Yuan Ning Dan, we can eat delicious food and drink spicy food!" Li Zhirui said with some exaggeration.

However, this is not wrong. Although Li Zhirui will only be able to refine a second-level elixir by then and cannot be called a second-level alchemist, he can already be regarded as a first-level alchemist in the 500-mile-square Yunping Prefecture. The number one!

As far as Li Zhirui knew, out of the hundreds of foundation builders in the entire Yunping Prefecture, including casual cultivators, only two could refine three second-level elixirs, and were veritable second-level alchemists.

They come from the Yuanming Sect and the Jiang family, the alchemy family respectively, and there are only a few alchemists who can refine second-level elixirs.

Not to mention that Li Zhirui is also a rare water method alchemist. After becoming proficient, the quality of the elixirs he refines is much better than other alchemists, and he is more sought after by monks.

Li Zhirui comforted Daqing and then left the space with the second-level elixir.

However, he was not in a hurry to make elixirs. Instead, he burned incense and took a bath to remove turbidity and bad luck from his body, and then worshiped the heaven and earth, hoping that he would receive a ray of luck.

This kind of ritual exists and is effective, but that ray of luck may not necessarily fall on Li Zhirui. He is just seeking peace of mind.

Li Zhirui stood up and walked to the jade furnace, cleaned it with magic, poured in the second-level spiritual water, and began to extract the essence of the elixir.

Combining, extracting, blending, nourishing... As the elixirs were played out one after another, the elixir in the jade furnace gradually took shape, and Li Zhirui continued to make the elixirs with his heart still.

Until the Ning Yuan Dan condensed and took shape, two spiritual pills were floating in the spiritual water, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhirui's mouth.

"Successful!" Although there were only two Yuan Condensing Pills, and the quality was not very good, his efforts over the past few months and the investment of thousands of spiritual stones were not in vain.

Just when Li Zhirui was about to go all out and refine another batch of Yuan Ning Dan, the ground suddenly shook violently. Unprepared, Li Zhirui fell to the ground.

"The earth dragon turns over!" Li Zhirui's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed outside to check the situation inside the clan.

Fortunately, the houses in the clan's land were all built with semi-spiritual materials, and a small formation was set up, which was relatively strong. There were no cases of houses collapsing and people being buried by the rubble.

Before Li Zhirui could breathe a sigh of relief, he thought of the mortals on the island who couldn't afford semi-spiritual materials. Such a violent vibration would definitely cause the collapse of large areas of houses.

"All clan members listen to the order and do their best to save the mortals on the island!" Li Zhirui rang the bronze bell and used his magic power to spread the sound throughout the clan.

Fortunately, it was daytime when the earthquake occurred, and many mortals were working outside. If it were night and everyone was asleep, the number of casualties would have doubled.

Following Li Zhirui's order, the tribesmen's consciousness instantly woke up from the chaos and hurriedly ran outside the tribe.

"Second Grandpa, why did you come out?" Li Zhirui was just about to leave to organize and direct the rescue when he saw the door of the back hall opened and Li Shiqing walked out.

Li Shiqing sighed: "How can I be in seclusion with peace of mind when it's such a big deal like the earth dragon turning over?"

If the Li family is compared to a big tree, then the monks are the main root of the Li family, and the mortals are the auxiliary roots of the Li family. The two are interdependent. You have me, and I have you. No one can live without the other. .

"Second Grandpa, you go to the south to organize the tribesmen's rescue, and I'll go to the north." The situation was urgent now, and Li Zhirui didn't care too much, and left as soon as he finished speaking.

After a while, Li Zhirui came to the north and looked at the ruins on the ground and the cries of mortals, feeling extremely heavy.

Fortunately, when Li Zhirui came to the rescue, he found that not many people were buried in the rubble, because the north had just been developed, and most people were reclaiming wasteland outside to prepare for planting food in the coming year.

The main reason why the mortals cry is because their houses have collapsed. If the houses are repaired, there will be less wasteland for cultivation. But if they are not repaired, the biting cold wind at night can easily kill them.

"Alas!" Li Zhirui thought of this, sighed, and said, "You repair your houses, and I will arrange for manpower to help you reclaim wasteland."

Amidst the thanksgiving from the mortals, Li Zhirui left a few tribesmen behind to help with the aftermath, and then led the others towards the villages in the south.

The damage in the north was not serious, but the situation in the south was a bit worse. Many women, children and the elderly stayed at home. Because the earthquake struck so suddenly and violently, they had no time to run out before they were buried by their houses.

Even though Li Zhirui responded in time and immediately arranged for tribesmen to come to the rescue, there were still many casualties.

Li Zhirui and all the tribesmen worked hard for a day and a night, and finally found all the mortals under the ruins.

Looking at the grieving mortals, Li Zhirui could only say: "People cannot be resurrected after death. I hope you will show your condolences and accept the change."

"In this earthquake, the Li family will make up for all losses and provide certain compensation."

After settling the mortals, Li Zhirui led all the elders to hold an emergency meeting.

"Elder Shize, how is the situation in Yunping Prefecture?"

Li Shize ran back in a panic yesterday afternoon. From his words, Li Zhirui learned that there was also an earthquake in Yunping Prefecture, and it was more severe than Darong Island.

But at that time, Li Zhirui was busy saving people, so he only listened briefly and then stopped listening.

"Yunping Prefecture seems to be the center of the earthquake. Several shops have collapsed in the city. The situation of those mortals will be even worse."

Li Zhirui felt sad for the misfortunes of those mortals, but he was helpless and subconsciously avoided the topic.

But what they didn't know was that the fate of the mortals in Yunping Prefecture and Qingshan Prefecture was several times more serious than they imagined!

Violent earthquakes cause landslides, and even cracks suddenly appear in some places, or a high mountain directly changes the topography.

Faced with this kind of natural disaster, not to mention mortals, even low-level monks are in great danger.

You know, in this world, the earth dragon turning over is not just a talk, but a realistic description!

The so-called earth dragon refers to the earth veins deep in the earth. Any movement of such a behemoth will cause huge damage to the surroundings, let alone this time it turned over directly.

"Next, we have to work hard to help a bunch of mortals on the island to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, when winter comes, there may be more casualties." Li Zhirui said sincerely.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

Li Zhirui advised: "Second Grandpa, as long as we are in the family, you can go to seclusion with peace of mind."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone." Li Shiqing looked at Li Zhirui with a look that was both gratifying and regretful.

I'm glad that he is doing a good job as the clan leader, but it's a pity that he is only the acting clan leader.

Thank you for your support
