The Li family departed Mount Wanxian on a Spirit Boat bound for Yunxia State, carrying over a hundred members to attend the grand ceremony and sell spiritual goods. Li Zhirui guided talented juniors along the way, emphasizing that Taoist Practice forms the foundation of cultivation and must not be neglected for rapid realm advancement. He also stressed honing magical powers and spells for protection amid the turbulent Yuanling World, broadcasting his wisdom to benefit all aboard while their fearsome reputation warded off robbers.

During their travels, Li Zhirui tirelessly fielded questions and directed the clan members in their cultivation practice.

Consequently, the journey whisked by in what felt like no time at all, with nobody aware of the duration that had elapsed.

Not until one day did a clan member steering the Spirit-controlled Flying Ship abruptly announce: "Ancestor Rui, we've arrived at Yunxia State."

At that moment, the group finally perked up, discovering that months had already passed.

Their timing proved impeccable, as just two or three days remained before the Xiaxian Sect's Profound Immortal Ceremony.

Clan members experienced a pang of reluctance, grumbling that the Spirit-controlled Flying Ship moved too swiftly, cutting short their chance to absorb more of Li Zhirui's teachings.

"We'll halt outside Yunxia Mountain for several days. Once the ceremony commences, we'll climb the peak to offer our gifts and well-wishes."

Li Zhirui directed, "Though the Xiaxian Sect's Profound Immortal Ceremony didn't extend invitations to powers beneath the Human Immortal Realm, they won't shoo away those listening to the Dao from beyond the mountain. The lower-grade spiritual objects from our clan can be offered for sale here over the next few days."

Prior to their touchdown, numerous cultivators had already assembled beyond Yunxia Mountain, likely aiming to claim prime positions near Spirit Mountain ahead of the major occasion.

Yet, with countless cultivators chasing those spots, the scene unfolded as it did.

Most boasted meager cultivation levels, dotted only occasionally by Human Immortal Cultivators, all hailing from loose cultivator origins.

Possessing Earth Immortal Cultivation might have granted mountain entry and a seat, but as mere Human Immortal loose cultivators, they were relegated to lingering outside.

No helping it—the Xiaxian Sect had summoned far too many powers this time, leaving no room for extras within.

"Got it, Ancestor Rui, I'll get folks on it immediately," the leading elder responded in haste.

Shortly thereafter, a compact Spirit Boat descended, ferrying over a dozen clan members to the surface.

"What power is that?!"

The Li family's emergence instantly seized the cultivators' focus.

In truth, the bigger the Spirit Boat, the superior its quality and the mightier its possessor, to some degree.

"The Li family of Mount Wanxian!"

Certain loose cultivators spotted the emblem on the Spirit Boat and exclaimed in shock: "Aren't they a Heavenly Immortal power? Why linger outside instead of entering?"

"The ceremony hasn't begun; they're simply ahead of schedule."

"Someone's descending."

The gossiping cultivators went quiet at once. Uncertainty lingered about the Li family cultivators' dispositions—if haughty and domineering, idle chatter might invite trouble. Caution prevailed.

Next, observers watched a Li family cultivator spread a dark cloth upon the earth, then arrange various spiritual objects, spanning Mortal Realm up to Individual Immortal Realm, Human Immortal Realm, and including several Earth Immortal Realm pieces.

Overflowing and radiant, the spiritual glow from the heaped treasures nearly dazzled the eyes.

"Fellow Daoists, should any spiritual objects catch your eye or suit your needs, come snag a few! The Li family conducts trade with utmost honesty, never shortchanging the young or elderly," proclaimed a rotund, chubby-cheeked clan member, beaming with a wide, jovial grin.

"This..."

All were stunned—the Li family's move caught them off guard. Who could have foreseen them setting up shop here?!

Yet the displayed spiritual objects—be they Pills, Talismans, Magic Artifacts, Formations, or the scarcer Puppets—shone as premium grade!

"How much for this bottle of Jade Liquid Pills?" inquired a Human Immortal, elbowing forward with thrilled eyes and a quivering tone.

"Quite affordable! Refined via the Li family's unique Water Refinement Method, these boast scant pill poison and impurities, plus a milder temperament. A single bottle costs merely one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones."

The Human Immortal's face froze; the portly clan member grasped the issue—loose cultivators seldom amassed such Spirit Stones in bulk.

With a kind smile, he continued, "Naturally, Pills stand apart from other spiritual objects and can be purchased individually. Each Spirit Pill goes for just one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones."

"I'll take five then!" The cultivator's features contorted in agony, like he'd forfeited years of his lifespan.

"Excellent, Mr. Zhu, may your aspirations come true and your cultivation advance further!"

Brimming with abundant pure spiritual energy, Jade Liquid Pills suited secluded breakthroughs perfectly. That Human Immortal evidently sought the push to progress.

With the initial sale sealed, fellow cultivators swarmed in, selecting usable spiritual objects.

Despite a dozen Li family members managing the trade, the throng of buyers quickly overwhelmed them. Noticing from the Spirit-controlled Flying Ship, an elder dispatched additional clan members below, easing the pressure at last.

The uproar beyond Yunxia Mountain inevitably drew the gaze of the Xiaxian Sect atop the peak.

Upon hearing the details, reactions among them differed widely.

"Heavens above! The Li family dares peddle wares on our doorstep."

"Previously, they leveraged the Heavenly Immortal Ceremony for an auction, and now haul stacks of spiritual objects to the ancestor's rite; blinded by Spirit Stones, their vision and judgment must be!"

The elders' countenances darkened; they deemed the Li family's conduct utterly vulgar, tarnishing their own prestige too.

"I find this rather splendid!"

Differing in view, the Sect Leader grinned and remarked, "The Li family ascended to Heavenly Immortal recently—how do they flourish so vigorously, spawning Heavenly Immortals repeatedly?"

Admiration laced his voice. It wasn't rare for an Earth Immortal power to hoard resources over ages, then erupt with a Heavenly Immortal breakthrough.
