Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2085 1511: Seclusion (2)

"No need for that. I simply find you pleasing to the eye."

The elder dismissed it with a wave and instructed, "Gather as many Spirit Crystals as you can. Even as fragments, those three cultivation techniques are of high quality, demanding two to three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in total."

"Go!"

"Thank you, Elder!"

Li Zhirui bowed respectfully and then left.

"Jiu, who would have thought you'd catch this elder's eye," Qing Si remarked enviously, fully recognizing the massive advantages this would deliver to Li Zhirui.

"I didn't expect it myself."

In truth, shock still lingered within him.

He couldn't resist wondering if some scheme lay hidden behind it all—why else would an unknown person treat him so warmly?

Yet, within Chaos Commerce's domain, concerns for safety were nonexistent.

After much contemplation with no answers, he chose to set it aside for the time being.

Li Zhirui's primary objective remained crafting multiple Creation Heavenly Pills, selling them straight to the commerce for Spirit Crystals, and acquiring those three cultivation techniques.

So, upon returning to the inn, the pair swiftly entered the space.

In that space brimming with countless Spiritual Objects, Heavenly Immortal Rank Five Elements Spiritual Objects abounded naturally—they just needed more time to ripen.

Thus, he had no choice but to generously expend Spirit Crystals to accelerate their maturation.

Once the Spirit Crystals were positioned by the roots of the Spiritual Objects, a profound energy instantly surged forth, spurring visible rapid growth in the plants.

Within mere hours, one Spiritual Object appeared to age a thousand years in an instant, blooming to maturity and releasing an intoxicating aroma.

In just half a day, Li Zhirui gathered more than ten kinds of Heavenly Immortal Rank Five Elements Spiritual Objects, sufficient for refining three sets of Creation Heavenly Pills.

With his present skill, he could yield nine successful pills per batch, and even at a discounted purchase price from the commerce below auction rates, the total would surpass three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.

Added to the Spirit Crystals he already possessed, it ought to suffice.

Should it fall short, he'd simply refine additional batches!

The night passed without incident.

At dawn the following day, Li Zhirui made haste to the Pill Tower.

"Nine Creation Heavenly Pills?"

This occasion brought not an ordinary attendant, but a manager who approached him directly.

The manager inspected the pills presented and immediately identified them as the Breaking Realm Pills that had created such a frenzy at the prior day's auction.

"Sir, yesterday's auction stated no more Creation Heavenly Pills would appear for a while, so these nine invaluable pills can't go up for bidding now. Please understand."

Chaos Commerce would never compromise its own trustworthiness; for such enterprises, reputation stood above all.

Promises made yesterday could not be broken today, lest Chaos Commerce's standing suffer irreparable harm—absolutely forbidden!

"I get it. These nine pills are for direct sale to you at a fair price," Li Zhirui declared clearly.

"Understood! No issue there."

They favored such deals, as they boosted their Spirit Crystal profits.

"What if we go five thousand Spirit Crystals below auction price? Does that suit the guest?" The manager pondered briefly before proposing.

"Way too cheap."

Li Zhirui shook his head firmly, rejecting it outright, then countered, "I'll accept no less than two thousand fewer Spirit Crystals."

"That's excessively steep; our profit margin would vanish. These rare pills demand careful storage, and prolonged holding racks up expenses..."

Li Zhirui, with his past experience leading a clan, saw through the manager's common sales tactics without fail.

"Don't assume I'm clueless about your game."

He cut in sharply, declaring, "Five hundred less is my absolute bottom line!"

Noting the sincerity in Li Zhirui's demeanor, the manager weighed it briefly and consented.

After all, these Breaking Realm Pills represented a monopoly; only he supplied them!

Moreover, securing these nine pills let them analyze the Pill Recipe, experiment with refining, and add yet another prized item to their inventory.

Spirit Crystals in hand, Li Zhirui dashed to the Ten Thousand Laws Building.

Climbing to the second floor, he confirmed the manager was a new face.

"Elder, I'd like to purchase 'Void Pure Heart Cleansing Taoist Scripture,' 'Glazed World Cleansing Scripture,' 'Nine Mystical Purity Purification Method.' Here are the Spirit Crystals."

Not knowing the temperament of this new guardian, he showed respect without any flattery.

"Hmm."

Coldly acknowledging him, the man flicked his sleeve, gathered the Spirit Crystals, and three Jade Slips materialized on the counter.

"These methods must not be passed onto others. No matter where you hide across the Universe, curse-killing will strike, and you'll perish abruptly!"

With this warning delivered and his duty done, he shut his eyes once more—be it for rest or pondering the Laws in cultivation.

Chaos Commerce's techniques proved far more fearsome than those of the Primal Spirit Realm, harnessing a curse that blanketed the entire Universe, fused straight into the heavenly rules!

Li Zhirui, however, remained unconcerned, harboring no plans to divulge any cultivation methods.

So, after expressing thanks with a deep bow, he curbed his surging excitement, seized the Jade Slips, and exited the Ten Thousand Laws Building.

"What exactly did Wan Zhu see in this fellow?"

Once Li Zhirui had left, the overseer stared at the spot he'd vacated and murmured to himself alone.

Admittedly talented to a degree, blessed with luck and decent aptitude, yet from a lowly origin—reaching the Golden Immortal Realm was already a stroke of heavenly fortune for such a one.

Unaware of any of this, Li Zhirui, now in possession of the cultivation techniques, promptly entered seclusion.

...

Flower blooms two ways, one branch per tale.

The Primal Spirit Realm.

After Li Zhirui's transcendence, the Li family turned remarkably low-profile, shunning the spotlight except when unavoidable.

Yet this hardly rendered them weak; any attempts at probing were crushed without mercy.

Only upon realizing the Li family's ironclad defenses did the interlopers reluctantly cease their schemes.

From that moment, tranquility and calm returned to the Li family as before.
