Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 785 - 791: Repair
Chapter 785: Chapter 791: Repair
"Sorry, sorry, I’m late, I’ve kept all my fellow Daoists waiting."
In fact, it’s not even the agreed-upon noon yet.
"It’s not yet time, it’s because we were worried that too many people would come, so we decided to save seats early."
Li Zhirui smiled and asked, "Do each of you fellow Daoists have a fifth-order Spirit Seed?"
"I have one Spirit Seed," said the third Divine Transformation, speaking up first.
The others didn’t respond, suggesting that they likely just knew some information.
"My senior fellow disciple has a Spirit Seed, but he didn’t bring it with him, he kept it in our Sect," the person in the first place explained.
"My fellow Sect members/brothers also have one."
The other few people quickly echoed.
"How about this? I’ll give each of you fellow Daoists a precious Healing Pill for your trouble in making this trip," Li Zhirui said, knowing their purpose and too lazy to probe whether it was true or false; after all, there were only three or four people.
"Oh, how embarrassing this is, we haven’t been of any help," they said, but their eyes were glued to Li Zhirui.
"No matter, no matter."
Li Zhirui smiled and handed over the Precious Pills he specifically packaged, saying, "Thank you all for your trouble."
"Then we won’t disturb you any longer."
After securing the Precious Pills, they left with smiles on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist, sorry to have kept you waiting, shall we find a place to have a proper talk?" Li Zhirui asked a bit apologetically.
"Sure."
The two didn’t walk far, stopping near the rear courtyard of the Spiritual Item Palace.
"May I know which kind of fifth-order Spirit Vines you have in your possession?"
"Fifth-order Broken Gold Starvine," he said, showing it to Li Zhirui for a glance before promptly putting it away again.
A glint of greed flashed through the man’s eyes as he smiled, "I won’t ask for much, just give me a hundred and eighty bottles of Precious Pills, it doesn’t matter if they’re Healing Pills or not, anything else is fine as well, as long as they are fourth-order Precious Pills."
Li Zhirui frowned slightly; Broken Gold Starvine was a very decent Spirit Vine. Although slender, it was extremely tough and durable. With several tens of Spirit Seeds scattered and stimulated with Divine Power, ordinary Divine Transformations couldn’t break through its defenses.
He genuinely wanted this Spirit Seed, but unfortunately, the person was too greedy!
Seeing Li Zhirui generously hand out several Precious Pills, the man thought of him as an easy mark.
"Fellow Daoist, you should understand the market value of Spirit Vines and Spirit Seeds, right? To put it bluntly, it’s possible that aside from me, nobody else will come to buy your Spirit Seed in a short period of time."
Why do so few Cultivators buy Spirit Vines and Spirit Seeds, even Wood Spirit Root Cultivators are quite rare? Mainly because it’s too troublesome to cultivate Spirit Vines!
It takes a great deal of time for them to grow, blossom, and bear fruit, and using growth-accelerating Spells and Divine Powers, which exhaust their essence, can’t make the Spirit Vines produce Spirit Seeds.
And if any accidents happen during the growth process, causing the Spirit Vines to wither and die, that would be a great loss.
Only because Li Zhirui had spatial capabilities and wasn’t worried about keeping them alive did he choose to use Spirit Vines as his means of attack.
"If fellow Daoist doesn’t wish to sell, then I’ll take my leave first," Li Zhirui said as he made to leave.
"Don’t rush!" the man quickly held him back, asking, "How much do you plan to give?"
This Spirit Seed had been in his possession for several decades, and its vitality had already begun to wane. If it weren’t sold soon, it would turn into a dead seed.
"I am truly interested in purchasing this Spirit Seed, my friend. Please offer a fair price."
"Fifty Precious Pills!"
Li Zhirui could not be bothered to speak and simply walked away.
"Forty! How about forty!" The man hurriedly ran to the front and blocked the way.
"Twenty! Don’t think I didn’t see that the vitality of your Spirit Seed is already dissipating," Li Zhirui pointed out the flaw of the Spirit Seed directly.
"My friend, you’re being too harsh. Thirty! Just for thirty Precious Pills, this Spirit Seed will be yours immediately," he said.
After some haggling, Li Zhirui finally acquired the Broken Gold Starvine Spirit Seed for twenty Precious Pills and tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Having spent all his Precious Pills, Li Zhirui did not linger and went straight back to the Array Space.
"Now with Bloodfire Thorn Vine for offense and Broken Gold Starvine for defense, just cultivating these two Spirit Vines will ensure that I have nothing to fear even if those Demon Cultivators and Great Devils come looking for trouble!" he thought.
Thinking this, Li Zhirui couldn’t wait to plant the Spirit Seed in the space, instructing Shen to find an empty mountain peak to plant it and using Spirit Stones to accelerate its growth.
High-order Spirit Vines are not like Spiritual Medicines, which wither after producing fruit just once; they are more akin to Spirit Plants, able to grow and propagate for many years.
However, with the current number of Spirit Stones in Li Zhirui’s possession, it’s not possible to expedite the maturity of both Spirit Vines within one or two months, so he planned to sell a few Precious Pills in small quantities while healing.
When selling Precious Pills, Li Zhirui also needed to conceal his identity somewhat, as standing out too much could attract jealousy, something he never underestimated.
Especially since there were so many Demon Cultivators and members of the Devil Race in the Sky Palace. If they set their sights on him, Li Zhirui would be in even greater danger.
——
"What? Sudanli, you still want to trouble that cultivator?"
"He made me lose so much face. I can’t swallow my anger without teaching him a lesson!" the Demon Cultivator who had previously surrounded Li Zhirui shouted furiously.
The Demon Cultivator cautioned, "This is the cultivators’ territory. Don’t start a fight; otherwise, you’re practically handing them an excuse to kick us out. Then, we’ll have to travel through the Void, and who knows how many will die!"
Until now, an internal conflict had erupted among the cultivators, and the higher-ups had no time to attend to other matters, providing the Demon Cultivators and members of the Devil Race with an opportunity—though it ended almost as soon as it began.
Now that the cultivators had settled their disputes and were closely watching the Demon Cultivators, should they really cause any trouble, the cultivators would definitely not miss the chance to send them into the Void.
It’s important to realize that the Void they were in was above the central region, while the Demon Cultivators’ Ascension Void Array was set up in the Western Domain, a distance of over a hundred thousand li in between.
Of course, distances in the Void weren’t as vast, but circumnavigating the boundary of the Profound Origin Realm would still amount to several thousand li.
With so many injured, the arrival of a Chaotic Storm could mean the injured wouldn’t know how many of them might survive.
The Demonic Tao was already on the decline, and with the loss of so many Divine Transformation stage cultivators, the Western Domain could hardly be preserved and would likely be seized by the cultivators, taking over many territories.
"You can’t start a fight inside the Sky Palace, but once we’re back in the Profound Origin Realm, I won’t stop you. So, hold on just a little longer; it won’t be much longer before we can return," he said.
Sudanli gnashed his teeth and growled, "I will make sure he lives a life worse than death! I will grind his bones to dust and scatter his ashes!"
Li Zhirui was unaware that the Demon Cultivator Sudanli had developed such a hatred for him and was preparing to strike as soon as they returned to the Profound Origin Realm, but he was already mentally prepared.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had gone by.
With the Array Masters working overtime to repair it, the Ascension Void Array was finally restored to normal!
