Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Chapter 206 Misleading
The first thing Li Zhirui did when he returned to his family was to clean up the battlefield with his clan members, and at the same time purchase spiritual materials from casual cultivators.

Although the number of spiritual materials is extremely large, the Li family did not deliberately lower the purchase price, it was only about [-]% lower than usual.

And this has already made many casual cultivators very excited, and they praised the Li family one after another. You must know that the price that Yuan Mingzong bought spiritual objects back then was at least [-]% lower!
Of course, the Li family didn't have the ability to eat all the spirits, so they had to give up after collecting about [-]% from the casual cultivators.

After being busy for several hours, by the time Li Zhirui and others returned to Darong Island, the sky had become dark.

"Second brother, you are finally back. How is the situation with the beast tide?" Li Shilian asked repeatedly.

"It was a near miss, and the tribesmen did not suffer too many casualties."

But even with him in charge, there are still a few unlucky clansmen who died at the hands of the water demon.

"Zhi Rui, you..." Li Shilian turned his attention away, and saw Li Zhirui standing on Li Shiqing's left at first sight.

"Everyone is tired after a busy day. Let's wait until tomorrow to discuss anything." Li Shiqing interrupted Li Shilian, glanced at Li Zhirui, and said, "There will be a clan meeting tomorrow, and you cannot be absent."

He knew that Li Shiqing had a lot of questions to ask, so he nodded in response, and then dispersed with the clansmen.

Li Zhirui walked to the door of the small courtyard and looked at the courtyard, which he had not returned for several years but was still as clean as new. A feeling of solidity suddenly came to his heart.

"I'm home!" Released Daqing and Xiaoqing, allowing them to move freely, while he himself entered the room and started his daily practice.

Early the next morning, Li Zhirui went out to the main hall to attend this family meeting.

When he arrived, there were already quite a few elders, but Li Zhirui was not familiar with them, because since he stepped down from the position of acting patriarch, he hardly participated in family meetings.

Moreover, he has either been in seclusion or practicing outside these years. He has spent very little time in the family. Naturally, he is not familiar with these elders and only greeted each other politely.

Not long after, all the clansmen who were supposed to come came.

As the clan leader, Li Zhizhun was the first to speak: "Preliminary statistics show that this beast wave caused the death of five clansmen and dozens of clansmen were injured. The injuries are not serious."

"And the beast tide was also blocked from the island chain, and did not cause too much damage to Sequoia Three Islands..."

As for Darong Island, only a few water monsters came to attack, because usually, the tribesmen would practice nearby.

There are two advantages to doing this. One is to increase the strength through fighting, and the other is to reduce the number of water monsters. As a result, all the water monsters within a hundred miles were wiped out by the clansmen.

And the reason why the dozens of water monsters that attacked Darong Island escaped unharmed was that they had only recently become monsters.

All in all, although there were some losses in the beast tide this time, for the current Li family, it could barely be regarded as a small contusion, and it did not have much impact.

"The harvest is all kinds of spiritual objects bought from casual cultivators. After processing, the family should be able to earn a lot of spiritual stones from them."

After Li Zhizhun finished speaking, Li Shiqing spoke, "Through this beast wave, we can see that although the family has developed rapidly, it is still lacking in many aspects."

"For example, the spiritual preparations are not enough, the response is not fast enough, and the preparation ability is weak, so that you can't buy all kinds of spiritual pills and talismans for a period of time..."

During that time, many casual cultivators left the battlefield for safety reasons. After all, everyone did not have the magic pill to restore mana, and there was no way to replace it in time.

If it weren't for Li Shiqing, the golden elixir monk, who came to help several times, the island chain would not be able to stop the water demon at all.

And most of those fallen and injured clansmen also encountered accidents at this time.

"The beast tide is over, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. We must learn from the experience and lessons learned this time to ensure that a similar situation won't happen again next time."

Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads after hearing these words, because most of the elders stayed in the family to organize and prepare logistics.

"After today, I won't mention these things again, you guys remember them well!"

Li Shiqing said in a deep voice: "Precisely, prepare for the funeral of the five clansmen, every clansman must attend!"

"Yes!"

"If you have nothing to do, let's go get busy." Li Shiqing waved his hands, looked at Li Zhirui who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and said, "Zhirui, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Li Zhirui got up and followed him and left the main hall. Li Shilian followed after thinking about it.

"Tell me, when you go home this time, are you going to retreat to break through the golden elixir?" Li Shiqing asked impatiently as soon as he entered the back hall.

Li Zhirui nodded with a smile and said, "You didn't disappoint Second Grandpa, did you?"

"Okay! My Li family has successors like this!"

Li Shilian on the side was also full of excitement and joy, but when he calmed down, he frowned and said, "Zhirui's breakthrough is indeed a good thing, but if the news leaks out, Yuan Mingzong may be detrimental to Zhirui!"

It's not that there are spies within the family, but that when Li Zhirui breaks through the catastrophe, Yuan Mingzong must know about it immediately, and it is very likely that he will hinder it.

"This……"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhirui and Li Shiqing were stunned, they really didn't think of this.

"Could it be possible to let Zhirui not retreat on Darong Island to survive the calamity?"

Li Shilian nodded. That's what he thought. He even inquired about it and said, "There is a cave in Qingshan Prefecture that provides monks with retreats and tribulations."

"As long as you pay enough spirit stones, monks will be specially arranged to help protect the law, and no one will disturb the robbery.

After that, Rui quietly went to Qingshan Prefecture, and the family pretended that you were retreating on the island, so you don't have to worry about Yuan Mingzong's tampering. "

In fact, these catastrophe caves are mainly used by casual cultivators, and the price is indeed not cheap. The minimum rent for one year is [-] spirit stones. If it exceeds one day, it will be counted as the price for one year.

Many casual cultivators actually cannot produce so many spiritual stones. After all, in order to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible, they simply cannot keep spiritual stones in their hands.

At this time, the shop will considerately give a second plan, which is to join the forces behind them, become a guest elder, and work for that force.

And this is the real purpose of Transcending Tribulation Cave Mansion.

But Li Zhirui doesn't have to worry about the spirit stone, because even if he can't get it out, the family will help pay for it!

"Okay!" Li Shiqing said without hesitation: "In a few days, Zhirui, you will secretly leave the family and go to Qingshan Prefecture to retreat and overcome calamity. We will arrange for the clan to spread the news and mislead Yuan Mingzong."

　Happy New Year!
