"When do you plan to hold the banquet, big brother?" Li Zhirui asked.
Just like his previous breakthrough, the banquet was both a celebration and the handing over and transmission of responsibilities. As the main character, Li Zhizhun naturally wanted to ask for his opinion.
"I'm fine with any time." Li Zhizhun smiled casually; his Spirit Beast did not continue to breakthrough after Foundation Establishment, so he didn't need to watch over it.
Of course, it had also made no small progress, perhaps it could breakthrough again in a year or two.
"How about in nine days then?" Li Zhirui thought for a moment and said, "Just in time for these few days, I will pass on to big brother the Foundation Establishment Realm techniques of the 'Wanling Sutra' and the Visualization Skill, the 'Divine Turtle Ocean-Suppressing Chart'."
Currently, in the Li family, only two people are qualified to transmit the 'Wanling Sutra': one is Li Shiqing, and the other is the transmission elder Li Shiting. Li Zhirui, because he was only acting as Clan Leader, did not have this qualification.
In fact, he was qualified, but he needed to learn that Sealing Skill. Li Zhirui tried to learn it and discovered his talent in this area was mediocre, so he decisively gave up.
Moreover, it was exactly when he had just broken through recently, and with time being tight, he really did not have spare time to learn a new method.
As for the 'Divine Turtle Calming the Sea Chart', it was in Li Zhirui's possession.
"Okay," Li Zhizhun nodded, and then said, "Tell me about what the family needs to do now, so there won't be any mishaps when I take over."
Since Li Zhizhun would soon become the Clan Leader, Li Zhirui told him all the family secrets that he hadn't known before, including the two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicines on the family's Spirit Medicine Mountain and their execution of a Golden Core walking corpse, among others.

"So that's how it is!" Li Zhizhun had sensed something was amiss before, but he didn't expect such astonishing news.
Li Zhizhun said with anticipation, "With the enlightenment you all brought back, Uncle should be able to breakthrough soon."
Li Zhirui was also full of expectation. However, Li Shiqing had been in seclusion for several years now without any sign of progress, which unavoidably made one feel somewhat anxious.
Throughout the day, Li Zhirui told Li Zhizhun everything that needed to be said. The rest could be discussed later.
Following the spreading of news about Li Zhizhun's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, a significant commotion ensued in Yunping State, with discussions about the Li family everywhere, most Cultivators feeling a strong sense of envy and jealousy.
As for the affiliated families under the Yuanming Sect, they had long given up on the idea of dealing with the Li family. With the Yuanming Sect present, the Li family wouldn't arbitrarily make a move against them, aside from the Zheng and Jiang families that bore old grudges.
Unfortunately, these two families lacked successors; not having produced another Foundation Establishment Cultivator in recent years, even if both families joined forces, they only had five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not enough to contend with the Li family.
These two families also understood that, as the Li family's strength continually grew, their situation would become increasingly perilous. So, a few years ago, they had already started sending members out to search for a new settlement.
Alas, Spirit Veins, such essential resources, were hard to find in the wilderness, and with the expeditions from both families being small in number, and taking place outside the familiar territories of Yunping State, they had yet to find a suitable Spirit Vein for settlement.
They could only continue to live in unease within their clan lands, dreading the day the Li family might come knocking, and even though it had been nearly ten years and the Li family had shown no signs of action, they remained uneasy.

"Da Qing, why haven't you broken through yet?" Li Zhirui watched the leisurely Da Qing and couldn't help but speak up.
To keep Da Qing from falling too far behind him, Li Zhirui had invested countless resources, yet Da Qing was still at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.
While Da Qing's cultivation speed had already surpassed that of many Devil Beasts and Spirit Beasts, Li Zhirui was still somewhat dissatisfied since he was waiting for Da Qing's breakthrough to go on travels.
Squeak!
Da Qing, however, was not in a hurry at all, knowing that he would inevitably break through to Foundation Establishment someday; it was merely a matter of time.
The cultivation level of Devil Beasts is closely linked to their rank. Take Da Qing for example, a third-rank Qingxuan Turtle—with sufficient resources and barring mid-journey death, he would inevitably break through to the second rank and there was a good chance of progressing to the third rank.
Of course, rank does not determine everything. Just as with the quality of a Cultivator's Spiritual Root, the higher the rank, the better the innate quality, and the higher the likelihood of advancing to higher levels.
"You lazy thing!" Li Zhirui muttered helplessly, but he could do nothing else except feed Da Qing more Spiritual Objects, accelerating the accumulation of Mana inside his body and encouraging him to break through sooner.
As for the effectiveness, well, having some was certainly better than none!
