Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2031 1484: Creation (2)

This method ensured they secured the pills without any issues.

The final Precious Pill ended up in the possession of the Cave Abyss Sect.

Next, the Li family unveiled numerous rare spiritual treasures. Though most cultivators couldn't bid, they harbored no resentment; rather, they felt their worldview expanded, beholding spiritual items utterly unknown to them before.

Naturally, the Li family had planned meticulously, accommodating cultivators across all realms.

Therefore, as the event progressed, the grade of spiritual items steadily declined, but each remained an exquisite rarity within its class.

In particular, the emergence of three Human Immortal Enlightenment Pills ignited wild fervor among all Individual Immortals, who were convinced that securing one would propel them straight into the Realm of Human Immortality!

Hence, they unleashed their full fury in bidding, without restraint—rendering this auction segment far more scorching than earlier.

"The auction concludes now. Gratitude to all venerable elders and Fellow Daoists for gracing us with your presence. Please savor a cup of spiritual tea to relieve your bodily and spiritual fatigue."

At the auctioneer's declaration, attendants promptly delivered cups of spiritual tea.

One sip banished all exhaustion and fatigue, rendering the entire body light and invigorated.

Concurrently, the auction hall's doors swung open, letting everyone depart at will.

...

As the auction raged intensely within, the outdoor stalls brimmed with equal, if not greater, vibrancy.

Unlike the auction's certified wares, stall spiritual objects offered no assurances; verifying their genuineness demanded sharp experience and keen discernment.

A fortune might buy outright garbage, or a lowly bauble could prove a supreme treasure.

Thus, auction-excluded cultivators clung to hopes of massive bargains, combing stall after stall in pursuit of that fateful stroke of luck.

Common wisdom held such feats confined to legends, yet astonishingly, one cultivator truly snagged a priceless Earth Immortal Rank spiritual item for just a dozen Spirit Stones.

By Spirit Stone reckoning, that spelled an instantaneous millionfold windfall!

This staggering haul inevitably sparked envy, with numerous cultivators fixating on him, scheming to strike once he exited Mount Wanxian's domain and claim his prize.

Yet to their shock, the cultivator proved a Li family member!

Even ignoring whether he'd venture beyond the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain Range afterward, his Li identity alone instilled hesitation to rob—and they might not overpower him anyway.

Furthermore, once his background surfaced, many suspected it wasn't sheer luck but a ploy staged by the Li family.

The Li family merely laughed it off upon hearing; they wouldn't stoop to such minor theatrics—it was genuinely that clansman's pure fortune.

...

Back to the tale!

To shield winners of spiritual treasures, the Li family devised special exit paths, thwarting instant ambushes upon departure and bolstering their safety to the utmost.

Mighty powers dismissed such measures, boarding Spirit Boats outright and vanishing into the skies.

Aboard the Yumen He Family's Spirit Boat, prized juniors aired their suspicions.

"The Li family hosted both the Heavenly Immortal Ceremony and this auction. Are they flaunting their might and legacy?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem probable,"

The He Family's Heavenly Immortal shook his head, explaining, "Likely, they merely capitalized on the ceremony's massive gathering to launch an auction and hunt rare spiritual objects."

If true, the Li family shattered their targets!

For the Immortal Xia Sect's Creation Heavenly Pill recipe alone validated the entire affair, to say nothing of the bounty of other spiritual items and techniques they reaped.

Yet this deepened the mystery—why had the Li family abruptly decided to hold an auction?

In the end, no clarity emerged, and nursing that enigma, they withdrew to Yumen Mountain.

...

Meanwhile.

Li Debo delivered the day's spirit seeds and pill recipes to pay homage to Li Zhirui.

That's right!

Li Zhirui skipped today's Heavenly Immortal Ceremony entirely, staying concealed to avoid overshadowing Qingpeng and Qingcang.

While deducing pill recipes in his cave mansion, Li Zhirui heard the Knocking Bell chime suddenly, prompting him to rise from the Alchemy Room and unbar the courtyard gate.

With laws beyond grasp and further karmic ties to evade, Li Zhirui's pursuits narrowed to pill recipe deduction, refining, and the like.

To him, naturally, these pursuits constituted cultivation—self-sustained, free of outer dependencies or aid.

"Greetings, Ancestor Rui!"

Li Zhirui steadied him upright, inquiring, "The ceremony ended? How did everything unfold?"

"It went splendidly."

Li Debo offered a modest smile, adding, "Ancestor Rui, this auction brought us a haul of excellent items."

As he spoke, he proffered the jade box holding the spirit seeds, plus the gathered pill recipes, to Li Zhirui.

"Creation Heavenly Pill recipe?!"

Not even Li Zhirui could contain the thrill and joy blooming across his features at this discovery.

After a stretch, he composed himself and queried, "Where does this recipe hail from?"

Li Debo proceeded to detail the origins of the procured spiritual objects.

"Immortal Xia Sect?" Li Zhirui echoed the name.

No soul grasped Immortal Xia Sect's rationale, yet their deed promised world-shaking repercussions.

One day, it might burst forth, jolting the entire cultivation world.

By that epoch, though, he wasn't sure he'd linger in the Yuan Spirit Realm.

"Handing me the recipe alongside the spirit seeds—what do you intend?"

Li Debo bowed low, declaring earnestly, "I hope Ancestor Rui masters it swiftly, bequeathing the clan some pills and spiritual treasures."

Save unforeseen calamity, Li Zhirui reigned as the Li family's alchemy pinnacle for ages to come!

Thus, Li Debo envisioned no alternative to Li Zhirui for crafting the Creation Heavenly Pill; the recipe belonged rightfully with him.

The spirit seeds? Li Zhirui's arcane nurturing prowess featured in the patriarch's legacy, so Li Debo was privy.

For such exotics, committing them to his care guaranteed success, banishing failure's shadow.

"I'll strive to forge Creation Heavenly Pills for the family prior to transcendence," Li Zhirui mulled it over, then consented.

Relief washed over Li Debo; he bowed swiftly, "My deepest thanks, Ancestor Rui! The clan spares no effort gathering spiritual objects—they'll arrive promptly."

"Very well."

"I won't impose further on Ancestor Rui's cultivation."

With that, he saluted deeply and withdrew from the cave mansion.

Li Zhirui sealed the door, stepped into his inner space, sowed the Ninefold Heavenly Sun Fruit, Purple Extreme Treasure Mushroom, and fellow spirit seeds, then reclined by the Five Elements Immortal Root to probe the Creation Heavenly Pill's secrets.

Swiftly, his mind and spirit plunged wholly into it.

Cave time blurred away, decades slipping by unnoticed.

Li Zhirui's eyes fluttered open gradually, a radiant gleam piercing through as he murmured, "It truly lives up to 'Creation'!"

One could declare the Creation Heavenly Pill the most grueling refinement he'd ever tackled!

Its core components aren't rigid—any five five-element Heavenly Immortal Rank spiritual items serve; auxiliaries follow suit, requiring five Earth Immortal Rank per element for a total of twenty-five spiritual objects.

Two further adjuncts demand Heavenly Immortal Rank yin and yang spiritual objects.

To clarify, ingredients mandate seven Heavenly Immortal Rank spiritual objects spanning yin-yang and five elements, alongside twenty-five five-element spiritual objects.

Simply melding these spiritual items sans conflict, staving off furnace detonation, exudes demands of transcendent alchemy prowess.

And that marks merely the outset.
