Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Watching from the Sidelines

As expected, the Wen family intervened, citing the inability of the two families to fully realize the value of the herbal field, they offered their own Pill Masters to labor hard and provide high dividends to the two families.

The Qian family naturally hailed this as a benevolence, as they indeed could not maximize the profit from the herbal field while closely following the Wen family’s lead.

However, just as the Wen family explained the worth of the herbal field to their Pill Masters in a way that left the mediating members of various families unable to refute, Yang Yuyan stood up.

This caught the Wen family off guard.

Especially when Yang Yuyan publicly crafted a Top-Grade Pill, which brought the matter to a conclusion.

The Wen family was still the big winner, gaining half of the herbal field for free.

The Yang family suffered no loss, and even promoted their pill crafting and selling.

Only the Qian family, who had been acting as the Wen family’s front-line soldier, took a silent loss.

In response, Li Jizhou merely smiled faintly.

In his past life, when participating in the struggles between Qi Cultivation families in the Liang Kingdom, the experience felt thrilling, with an endless stream of plots and schemes.

But now, looking as an outsider,

Even these Foundation Establishment families fighting over some resources seemed like children fighting.

He remained calm and solitary, leisurely cultivating.

Half a year later, when the sixth ring of his year wheel thickened slightly, he used his Divine Sense to touch, and a majestic surge of magical power emerged.

“The Qi Cultivation Sixth Level is stable, looking forward to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, and indeed there is no bottleneck!”

With his Middle Grade lower Spirit Root, ordinary cultivators facing a bottleneck at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation without a Breaking Rank Pill would need three years at the least, or a lifetime at most to cross.

Yet at the age of thirty-two, he had already glimpsed the threshold of the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

The most crucial aspect was when he touched the second life’s shadow in the mirror of treasure within his Sea of Consciousness.

Lifespan of one hundred fifty-six!

Ordinary Qi Cultivation Sixth Level cultivators have a lifespan of only about one hundred and ten.

While he had nearly fifty more years of lifespan.

“One hundred fifty-six! Even if this life sees no further advancement and ends naturally, adding one hundred fifty-six points to the Spirit Root in the next life would produce a Middle Grade medium Wood Element Spirit Root!”

Moreover, the newly acquired Talisman skills in this life can ensure a smooth start in the next life, quickly transitioning into the Alchemy Dao and having basic Array, Medical Poison dual lineage skills; the only unknown is how the Body Refining aspect will be transmitted?”

“It’s time to prepare for Foundation Establishment!”

Once stepping into the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, one has truly passed through the weakest phase.

Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivators are often responsible for combat in Foundation Establishment families, with prospects of becoming practical elders of authority.

The main thing is, only by reaching the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, possessing abundant magical power, can one truly wield a Magical Artifact and fully unleash its power.

Even piloting a Flying Ship for long-distance escape requires the capability of the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

About to say goodbye to the Spirit Pearl Mountain market.

The Spirit Pearl Mountain market possesses a Tier Two initial Spirit Vein, which is sufficient for ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

But it is not enough for Foundation Establishment, and the market clearly stipulates that Foundation Establishment is not permitted in this area.

During Foundation Establishment, in the crucial stage of magical power, one must intensely consume Dantian’s magical power Condensed Liquid; any delay or insufficiency in replenishing magical power can lead to failure, not only causing a setback in Foundation Establishment but also damaging the foundation.

Furthermore, when someone establishes Foundation on Spirit Vein Land, massive extraction of Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein occurs, leading to the Spirit Vein being damaged if its Spiritual Qi is insufficient, reducing its grade like the Inverted Mountain, where uncontrolled extraction by many cultivators brought it down from a Tier Four Spirit Vein to Tier Three.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment should be chosen at least in a Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Vein Land, with no significant magical power fluctuations nearby.

Li Jizhou had long considered this. The nearest place for Foundation Establishment is the Fenglin Immortal Pavilion of the Wang family at the Fenglin Immortal Plaza, Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Vein. However, it also prohibits private Foundation Establishment inside the market,

requiring rental of specialized caves built for Foundation Establishment, equipped with Tier Two Spirit Gathering Arrays to enhance Foundation Establishment and maintain the intense fluctuation of surrounding Spiritual Qi.

The price is expensive.

One Foundation Establishment requires the payment of one thousand Spirit Stones.

However, Li Jizhou never considered this place.

Too close to the Inverted Mountain, with Yu family remnants harassing.

And this Spirit Vein is somewhat too weak.

Li Jizhou needs to provide himself with the best possible Foundation Establishment Spirit Vein Dojo.

At least a Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Vein.

Such a requirement doesn’t leave much choice.

Only the three sect-run three Immortal Cities.

The Golden Crow Immortal City of the Golden Sun Sect.

The Zhengyang Immortal City of the Divine Intent Sect.

The Wutong Immortal City of Cold Wind Valley.

Due to Ye Jingyu’s presence, eliminating Zhengyang Immortal City first.

And while the Wutong Immortal City of Cold Wind Valley is in the southwest of Inverted Mountain, it is tens of thousands of miles away, with a long journey and risk of encountering fleeing robbery cultivators from Inverted Mountain.

Thus, only the Golden Crow Immortal City of the Golden Sun Sect is the most suitable.

Moreover, now as an Honored Guest Elder directly affiliated to Miaodan Tower at Miaodan Peak within the Golden Sun Sect, he naturally receives preferential treatment in the Golden Sun Sect domain.

With a conclusion in mind, Li Jizhou aggregate his magical power from year wheels, barely maintaining it at the peak of Qi Cultivation Fourth Level.

Casually checked the latest gazette, seeing the Inverted Mountain conflict beginning to escalate, after a large group of hired loose cultivators died, the three sects and the five great families finally started their action.

As long as the three sects exert themselves, the motley crowd within Inverted Mountain cannot hold fast.

It seems that these years of encirclement without direct assault, hiring loose cultivators to lead, was merely to add blood debt to those inside Inverted Mountain.

And perhaps, it was to force the loose cultivators within Inverted Mountain to intensify their attacks on exploring the Thunder Flame Sect’s underground treasure vault, so that when the time is ripe, they can move in and reap the benefits as opportunistic strategists.

“The conflict is coming to an end soon.”

Li Jizhou immediately decided to quickly dispose of the war-needed medicinal materials he had stockpiled.

On the same day, he took the remaining twenty percent of the herbs to Miaodan Tower.

After teaching Yang Yuyan the Pill Skill for four years, the stock of herbs was sold out thoroughly, now selling the last bit would raise his net worth beyond fifteen thousand.

This time he was met not by the previous Steward Huang, but a new arrival.

Casually inquiring, he learned that Steward Huang had resigned from his position here, having settled down with his dao companion to establish a family.

“Chen Yuankang has realized his wish, truly delightful and congratulations.”

In response, Li Jizhou silently offered his blessings.

This counted as an ordinary cultivator achieving a small leap through arduous efforts.

Considered as genuinely starting from scratch, of course, whether they can truly succeed requires generations of hard work, not a snap of the fingers.

Returning on the path to his courtyard, seeing the sparse stream of people, Li Jizhou felt a hint of movement in his heart.

The Wen family has been managing the market alone for two years now, yet the internal situation remains unimproved.

The covert battle is likely to turn into an open dispute!

Li Jizhou can break through the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation and ascend as a Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivator in up to two years.

If there is massive turmoil in the Wen family before he leaves, he might easily seize the opportunity!

“I wonder if obtaining a piece of Anomalous Fire in this life would benefit the next life.”

In a joyful mood, he quietly awaited the changes in the situation.

Passing by Celestial Secret Tower, he felt stirred and walked inside.

“Pill Master Li, it’s not yet time for renewal, are there other services today?” Having been in Spirit Pearl Mountain market for eight years, he was already familiar with the steward of Celestial Secret Tower.

“Steward Liu, with your discerning eye, may I ask if your tower has information or maps of other domains in this cultivation realm?” Li Jizhou inquired.

Having awakened Innate Wisdom for sixteen years, although currently lacking the power to leave this vast realm of Qi Kingdom’s cultivation world, the geography and timeline of his former life’s presence in the Liang Kingdom remain a focus of his concerns.

It pertains to certain decisions in the next life.
