Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1925 - 1431: Pending Cultivation_2

Yet, converting the time-honored orthodox Yin Yang Path into a dual cultivation technique marked a shrewd breakthrough.

In Li Zhirui's view, though, it lacked true refinement; the approach seemed utterly chaotic, polished only superficially without grasping the true spirit of the techniques.

Luckily, the full text of the Yin Yang Scripture lingered in that individual's recollections. Much like other so-called 'geniuses,' he relished tackling tough and unattainable challenges, and this one proved no different.

Thus, Li Zhirui could skip the hassle of pulling the core elements from the Yin Yang Joyful Bliss Scripture.

The version there was basically flawed from the start, and any attempt to draw from it would just scatter it further into pieces.

Even afterward, it might offer minor benefits, but nothing substantial, rendering it unworthy of his effort.

...

The formula proved rather intricate, yet the whole process wrapped up in under half a quarter-hour.

Gazing at the clan members who hung on his every word, Li Zhirui announced, "Here are the spots for a few close-by marketplaces, Immortal Cities, plus the mountain gates and clan territories of certain minor factions, complete with some essential details."

With those words, he swept his right hand ahead, sending a surge of spiritual glow straight into the foreheads of the clan members.

"They're not overly formidable, so you might divide into teams and strike at once; or gather your might in one spot; or venture out solo."

In closing, he cautioned, "Beings in this world pack considerable power, so no matter your pick, prioritize your protection and steer clear of rash or wild moves."

"Above all, keep track of the deadline! Blow it, and who can say when the clan might return for another probe; you could easily forfeit the following shot at the secret art!"

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, the group swiftly settled on their plans, with some linking up with known kin, while others set off by themselves.

Li Zhirui, on the other hand, stayed put, positioning himself beside the spatial tear to block any intruders from this domain.

Meanwhile, he pressed on with studying the Yin Yang Scripture, since parts of it held real value for his own growth.

From what Li Zhirui figured, the Yin Yang Scripture had been pieced together by folks from later eras too.

Its earliest form dated back to profound antiquity, likely right around the dawn of the Floating Light Realm. Soon after life took shape, a visionary witnessed the shifting balance of yin and yang across the cosmos and drew insight, jotting it down in basic script.

"Ah, if I could just lay hands on the authentic ancient edition," Li Zhirui murmured, a hint of avarice in his tone.

While the Yin Yang Scripture served as a solid cultivation method, its help for him remained quite restricted. The primal version could yield far greater rewards.

Regrettably, the Wind Sound Sect held no such treasure, and its former owner hadn't even caught wind of any original Yin Yang Scripture.

No matter how Li Zhirui yearned for it, he lacked any leads on where to hunt. Scouring blindly like seeking a needle in an ocean of hay was out of the question.

Besides, even with the desire, he couldn't pull it off, since his stay in this world was short-lived. How could he spare moments for such a quest?

...

At that moment.

Li Mingtang, a clan member at the Realm of Human Immortality, teamed up with a handful of others, aiming to head toward one specific marketplace that Li Zhirui had mentioned!

"Sure, Dachun Market might be modest in size, but it draws tons of traveling cultivators, and deals in spiritual items happen non-stop. Among all these spots, it's the most bustling. If we handle it right and seize control of this market, we'll haul in heaps of resources for sure!"

Once Li Zhirui shared the intel on the area, Li Mingtang pored over the details of the marketplaces and Immortal Cities. As to skipping the mountain gates or clan grounds of lesser forces.

For one, those key areas were surely shielded by arrays. Given their present power, cracking a Mountain Protection Array would pose a real challenge.

For another, the vaults of such minor groups probably didn't brim with spiritual items the way a marketplace did.

Their target, Dachun Market, stood as a fairly robust trading hub, brimming with all sorts of spiritual resources.

The rest of the clan members got convinced by Li Mingtang just like that.

Following some journeying, they at last caught sight of Dachun Market.

True enough to his description, the site's barriers were pretty basic, and the snaking queue at the gate highlighted its thriving vibe.

"Should we charge in straight away?" one clan member inquired.

After weighing it carefully, Li Mingtang shook his head firmly and shot down the notion, "Coordinating an inside-out assault is the smartest play; that's the only surefire way to swiftly shatter this pesky barrier."

Plus, stirring up mayhem inside the market would plunge it into deeper turmoil, perfectly suiting their follow-up steps.

Details of the operation weren't spelled out, but things played out roughly as Li Mingtang foresaw. As pandemonium burst forth within the marketplace, countless loose cultivators fled in panic like frightened flocks, heightening the risks all around.

On top of that, thanks to the outer team's work, the market's Grand Array fell apart fast, letting the clan members dive into grabbing the spiritual treasures.

Witnessing the scene, a few loose cultivators, driven by raw avarice, charged forward too and started raiding stalls, snatching up spiritual goods.

This setup cleverly masked their real affiliations from early detection, making bystanders think they were merely daring, foolhardy wanderers.

...

In another spot, Li Guangxing, another Realm of Human Immortality clan member, chose to go solo without partnering up, scouting the surroundings on his own.

That said, this wasn't some untamed wilds; cultivators had shaped the land over countless years, leaving no trace of devil beasts or wild spiritual items.

"Am I doomed to come back with nothing this round?"

Disappointment weighed heavy on him. Coming away barren would equal squandering a precious chance to raid the Outer World.

Spurred by that, Li Guangxing resolved to push deeper beyond the Wind Sound Sect's edges, eager for any discovery.

His fortune hung in a murky balance—blessing or curse—as a Devil Race figure barred his way well short of his goal.

"Wait, this feels off!"

Once he felled the Devil Race figure, a jolt of shock hit him as he grasped it was a true Devil Race being, not some common devil beast!

Yet how had a Devil Race ended up in this bastion of the Immortal Tao? And given the signs of activity,

...

Time raced onward, with almost a full day and night slipping away.
