Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 295 - 301: Return

Under the moonlight surrounded by flowers, parting the rain and brushing through the clouds...

Of course, that was impossible!

After all, this was their first time. As cultivators, they couldn't just seek worldly pleasures. During the union of yin and yang, they harmoniously operated the Dual Cultivation Skill, absorbing spiritual energy from the outside and transforming it into mana.

The commotion made by the two Golden Core cultivators as they absorbed spiritual energy was no small matter; at least Li Shiqing and the others could sense it.

"Perhaps it won't be long before Zhirui breaks through to the Middle Golden Core Stage," Li Shiqing said, looking toward Li Zhirui's dwelling with full relief.

Although he had broken through many years earlier than Li Zhirui, he was far inferior to Li Zhirui in cultivation.

And this was not just reflected in temperament, but also in aptitude, resources for cultivation, and even cultivation time!

Therefore, Li Shiqing had long been unable to fathom Li Zhirui's exact level of cultivation, only knowing that it was much higher than his.

Li Shilian also smiled and said, "With Zhirui's breakthrough and Fengwu joining the family, our family will not only gain a Middle Golden Core cultivator but also an additional Golden Core cultivator."

"Indeed!" Li Shiqing's face was full of emotion, but it seemed he was reminded of something, a trace of desolation flickered in his eyes as he softly said, "I just wonder how Zhiyue and Zhixuan are doing now."

These two were the last members of the Li family in the last decade who might break through to the Golden Core stage, but now there was no news of them at all!

Especially Li Zhiyue, he was extremely worried about her.

Because she had previously failed to break through her bottleneck and entered closed-door cultivation, she went to the Great Void Province for her trials, hoping to shatter her shackles between life and death.

But who could have anticipated that not long afterward, the Great Void Province would erupt into an extremely fierce and terrifying battle? Countless cultivators died there!

Initially, Li Shiqing had tried to locate Li Zhiyue so they could look after one another, but before he could find her, a fourth-tier Great Devil had taken action.

Fortunately, the Life Token that Li Zhiyue had left with the family was still intact, signifying that she was still alive.

However, what they didn't know was that although Li Zhiyue was still alive, her injuries were very severe.

If it hadn't been for her considerable distance from the epicenter, the several third-tier Talismans in her possession, and a Flying Spirit Beast, she might have ended up as fodder for Devil Beasts just like other cultivators.

In the Great Void Province, hiding within an extremely remote and small mountain, Li Zhiyue, pale as death and in a sorry state, was healing her wounds.

"Cough cough..." Although her body was in discomfort, Li Zhiyue's eyes were unusually bright.

Because this near-death escape had allowed her to successfully break through her bottleneck, as long as she healed her wounds, she could return to the family to commence her seclusion and make her breakthrough!

Li Zhiyue's injuries were severe, but fortunately, they had not damaged her foundational essence. Plus, she was also an Alchemist, and she had plenty of Spirit Pills for healing and treatment.

But she had to be careful, controlling the rate at which she absorbed spiritual energy, because she was in the Great Void Province, a territory of the Devil Race!

As a result, her healing naturally slowed down.

"I wonder how the members of my family are doing." Although Li Zhiyue had not met with her family members, she knew that the Li family couldn't have escaped the repercussions of the great battle; she just hoped that everyone was safe and sound.

Suddenly, a rustling sound approached, startling Li Zhiyue into quickly propping herself up, clutching her Spirit Sword tightly, and preparing to summon her contracted Spirit Beast at any moment.

The Water Spirit Turtle and the White Bird were both third-tier beasts, which she had raised well. The Water Spirit Turtle was even close to breaking through the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but due to the limited space in the cave, it was not released.

"Squeak, squeak—"

Soon, a spirit mouse no bigger than a fist, with golden fur all over its body, burrowed out of the ground, its back facing her.

"Is this… a Treasure-Seeking Mouse?!" As a member of the Beast-Taming Family, Li Zhiyue recognized the identity of the small beast at a glance, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

This was not only because the newcomer was weak but also because Treasure-Seeking Mice were incredibly precious!

Although the grade of Treasure-Seeking Mice was not high, merely second-grade, they possessed a magical ability, just like their name suggested—they could find treasures!

And if they found ninety-nine treasures that surpassed their grade and refined one of them, their bloodline could break through and evolve step by step!

This seemed easy, but for wild Treasure-Seeking Mice, it was a very difficult task because their combat power was almost nonexistent!

Moreover, they had to consume a high-grade treasure with a low-grade power, which, if not done carefully, could result in their bodies exploding and dying.

Li Zhiyue moved her mind, and instantly, a streak of water appeared out of nowhere, flashing behind the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, and tightly bound it.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

The Treasure-Seeking Mouse let out a series of piercing squeals, twisting its body in an attempt to break free and escape.

But it was just a small, firstrank mid-stage Spirit Beast, and even though Li Zhiyue was injured, it had no chance of resisting her.

"Just come back home with me quietly, where I'll treat you to delicacies, and maybe you could even advance to the third grade," Li Zhiyue murmured, while her hands stuffed it directly into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Having the White Bird keep an eye out for external situations, Li Zhiyue took out a Spirit Pill, still for healing injuries.

Time rushed by, and in the blink of an eye, several months passed. Before the Spirit Pills ran out, Li Zhiyue's injuries were finally healed.

"It's time to go back!" Impatient, and again cautiously leaving the cave, Li Zhiyue chose a direction and transformed into a streak of light, running swiftly across the land.

The main reason she chose this method was that she was only a Foundation Establishment practitioner who could only fly with the help of a Magic Artifact, and using a Magic Artifact would be akin to telling the Devil Race there was a Cultivator here.

So, for safety's sake, even though it was more exhausting to run using her bodily movement technique, she still chose this method.

However, even though Li Zhiyue was extremely cautious, on the land ruled by the Devil Race, she still frequently encountered Devil Beasts.

Luckily, perhaps because she was near the boundary territory, the Devil Beasts around her were not too strong, and she did not find it difficult to deal with them.

Despite Li Zhiyue being a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and having many years of experience in the outside world, her combat ability was average and not outstanding.

One reason may be that she lacked talent in combat while another was she primarily cultivated the Water Spirit Root which had the weakest attack strength among all Spiritual Roots.

Of course, if you added various Magic Artifacts and Talismans, Li Zhiyue's strength was quite formidable.

After several days, she finally left the Great Void Province and returned to the territory of Shen Leishan.

After entering Cultivators' domain, she naturally stopped using bodily movement to travel and immediately took out the Spirit Boat, soaring across the sky and quickly disappearing from view.

By the time Li Zhiyue returned to Wanxian Island, it was dusk, and she encountered many clan members on their way home for dinner, who greeted her warmly.
