Although a third-grade Spirit Beast can breakthrough to a Golden Core, the resources required are not less than those needed to directly cultivate a Golden Core cultivator.
If the Li family didn't cultivate the "Wanling Sutra," creating an extremely close connection between cultivators and Spirit Beasts, as long as the bloodline of the Spirit Beast isn't a limit, the cultivator's breakthrough will also shatter the Spirit Beast's bottleneck, they also wouldn't pursue higher-grade Spirit Beasts.
The last gift was from Shen Leishan, a deep green Jade Slip lying inside the Jade Box. Li Zhirui probed with his Divine Sense and exclaimed, "Uncle, this is a Minor Wood Divine Power, Xiao Jia Mu Yang Lei!"
Divine Power, a type of Spell with tremendous power, is cast by harnessing one's Mana to condense a vast amount of Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth, unlike Qi Cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators who rely on their own Mana for casting Spells.
It is said that this is because Golden Core cultivators can touch a strand of the Power of Laws.
"Shen Leishan is really generous!" This Divine Power caused everyone to exclaim in admiration.
Li Shiqing, however, associated it with the three conditions mentioned by Yun Qi, and couldn't help but feel that Shen Leishan truly understood the principle of wanting to take, one must first give.
He put the Jade Slip away, ready to learn this Divine Power first and then head to Wind Corruption Prefecture to fulfill the condition for exchanging Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicine.
Li Shiqing then asked, "Have the conditions of Red Pine Island and Nine Springs Island been scouted? Are there any valuable Spiritual Objects worth developing?"
"No," Li Zhizhun shook his head.
Actually, when you think about it, if those two families had any Spiritual Objects, why would their development be so slow?
"Then, how do you plan to develop these two Spirit Islands?" Li Shiqing was not disappointed, as he had anticipated this outcome.
Li Zhizhun presented the plan he had already thought of, saying, "The two islands are not too far from Da Rong Island, but at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator must be stationed to ensure safety."@@@@
"The only problem now is that the number of cultivators in our family is too small to fully develop the Spirit Veins on both islands."
Let alone those two Spirit Islands, just the existing industries of the family were already overwhelming for the clan members.
Red Pine Island alone has three thousand mu of first-grade Spirit Fields, five hundred mu of second-grade Spirit Fields. Although Nine Springs Island only has over two hundred mu of second-grade Spirit Fields, it boasts a vast stretch of five to six thousand mu of first-grade Spirit Fields!
Even if the more than a hundred cultivators of the Li family worked day and night without rest, they couldn't tend to so many Spirit Fields.
"You must have thought of a solution, right?" Li Shiqing, who had personally taught Li Zhizhun for a while, understood him well.
Li Zhizhun nodded, and under everyone's gaze, he slowly said, "I want to lease out all these Spirit Fields to Loose Cultivators for farming."
"When the time comes, all we have to do is collect the rent, and we can also use this opportunity to establish a small Marketplace on Red Pine Island."
According to Li Zhizhun's calculations, the Spirit Fields on these two islands could accommodate at least a thousand Loose Cultivators, a number sufficient to establish a small Marketplace.
Moreover, Red Pine Island is more than six hundred miles away from Yunping State, and it would take Loose Cultivators several hours for a round trip at their speed.
Furthermore, located at sea, Red Pine Island is more convenient for Loose Cultivators to hunt Water Devils, earn Spirit Stones, and attract a large number of them.
"This is a good idea, which can collect a large number of Spirit Stones in a short period of time," Li Shiqing nodded in satisfaction, "Go ahead with this matter, and as for the stationed cultivator..."
Turning to look at Li Shilian and others, he asked, "Who wants to go?"
Though stationed away from Da Rong Island, the cultivator would have exclusive access to a second-grade Spirit Vein, and the denser surrounding Spiritual Energy could also slightly increase their cultivation speed.
Li Zhirui did not speak up; he had already decided to go out for experience for a while and could not be a stationed cultivator.
Just this year's rent alone was enough for the Li family to upgrade the second-grade Spirit Vein in their territory to a third-grade one!
Li Zhirui, after learning of this matter, felt once again that as long as one's strength improved, there were ways to earn Spirit Stones.
As for the second-grade Spirit Fields, the Li family had no plans to lease them out. Even if they did, loose cultivators wouldn't be able to afford the rent.
So the plan was to cultivate those easy-to-care-for, not delicate second-grade Spiritual Medicines, mainly because there was not enough manpower to take care of them. In order not to waste the Spirit Fields, this was the only option.
"If you fellow Daoists wish to lease Spirit Fields, you can first go to the Red Pine Market to buy the corresponding spells."
Red Pine Market? The late Qi Cultivation stage loose cultivator thought, "The Li family is indeed formidable—first attracting loose cultivators with Spirit Fields, and then entrapping them with the marketplace, eliminating the need to go to Yunqing Marketplace anymore."
The group, upon hearing this, went to Red Pine Market. The market was not yet completed, with many mortals busy on the construction site.
Among the wooden buildings that were built and open to customers, several were labeled: Spell Pavilion, Spirit Pill Pavilion, Magical Implement Pavilion, Talisman Pavilion, and a general store specializing in the purchase of various Spiritual Objects, as well as a three-story wooden building with the sign of Cloudtop Pavilion.
They looked at each store in turn and found that the Spiritual Objects inside were quite complete. Common Spiritual Objects were all available, which fully met their needs, and the prices had not increased. There was no need to go to Yunqing Marketplace to buy them.
In the end, they entered the Spell Pavilion and jointly purchased a set of Jade Slips that contained recordings of the Spirit Rain Skill, Golden Light Skill, and three other cultivation spells, at a very fair price of only thirty Spirit Stones.
Besides that, they also spent fifty Spirit Stones to buy a copy of "The Cultivation Experience of Golden Thread Spirit Grain."
It was only when they arrived at Nine Springs Island that they found out there were not many unclaimed Spirit Fields left, and being a day or two late would mean they could only return home empty-handed.

Bang!
The cloudless sky suddenly split with a green-colored thunderbolt which instantly pulverized the huge rock it struck, scattering the dust in the breeze.
Li Zhirui, who watched from the side, was frightened by the terrifying power; he could smash the rock, but certainly not turn it into powder!
And the dazzling divine might even made Li Zhirui feel an irresistible sensation in his heart.
"Uncle, the power of this Minor Jiamu Yang Thunder is too terrifying!"
Li Shiqing, however, shook his head and said, "I have only learnt it in the past half year; the power is far from its limit."
"When the time comes, if I use all my mana, even the small island not far away will be blown to bits!"
Li Zhirui, puzzled, asked, "Then why don't you cultivate more in the family before setting out, until your Divine Power is fully realized? Then you could go to Wind Corruption Prefecture to hunt and kill Demon Cultivators."
Li Shiqing was compelled to take risks in pursuit of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicines and Pill Recipes, a fact which simply could not be concealed from family high-ups like Li Zhirui.
He knew he could not dissuade Li Shiqing, but he nevertheless hoped that he would strengthen himself as much as possible before taking action.
"Because now is the best opportunity," Li Shiqing said in a grave tone.
He had heard that Shen Leishan and Yin Wind Cave had gone to war again recently, attracting many Golden Core cultivators. Wind Corruption Prefecture's internal strength should be weaker than before; he could bypass the battlefield and enter Wind Corruption Prefecture to eliminate low-level Demon Cultivators.
"Go back. I will set off for Wind Corruption Prefecture tomorrow," Li Shiqing said, "Don't worry about the family, because in the meantime, there will be protection from Shen Leishan."
If there wasn't some assurance, would that Golden Core cultivator be willing to leave in peace?
