The news of Li Zhirui's successful refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill captured the attention of the entire family. Li Shiqing put aside the moving island he was working on, and Li Shiren and Li Shilian also returned to the family. Even the normally aloof Li Shiting hurried back from Red Pine Island to gaze upon the Foundation Establishment Pill that Li Zhirui had refined! Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire In truth, these four Foundation Establishment Pills weren't considered much for the Li family, given that there were no Spiritual Medicines to refine such pills for the next seventy to eighty years. And during this time, the Li family was in a period of explosive strength growth. Among the clan members who had the potential to achieve Foundation Establishment in this period, there were definitely more than four. But these four pills were of significant importance because they marked the Li family's capability to refine Foundation Establishment Pills on their own from now on. "Zhirui, you truly are a great hero of our family!" Li Zhizhun praised without restraint. The other Elders and family members also ceaselessly lauded Li Zhirui, praising him until he blushed with embarrassment, yet they still felt it wasn't enough. "Whatever you want, just say it. The family will do its best to satisfy you," Li Shiqing promised. No one stood out to oppose because they knew what it meant for someone to have the ability to refine Foundation Establishment Pills by themselves. Li Zhirui shook his head, as he couldn't think of anything he needed at that moment. Spirit Stones—he still had tens of thousands of them, more than enough for his use; Spirit Pills—he could refine them himself, and the quality was better than those on the market. Magic Artifacts—he already had a high-grade second-order one, which was sufficient until the later stages of Foundation Establishment, and he even had contracts with two third-grade Spirit Beasts. "Is there an event today?" Today was the day Li Zhirui was scheduled to submit the Consolidating Yuan Pills to his family. But on the way to the warehouse, he noticed many family members heading to one place and asked the new Internal Affairs Elder in confusion. "Today is Spirit Testing Day. If you're free, you could go to Spirit Testing Valley and take a look," said the Elder with a smile. "This year we have the highest number of children participating in the test; we might discover some exceptional talents." Jolted to realization, Li Zhirui recalled that he had been busy refining pills and had lost track of this vital day for the family. But considering the crowd that would be there, he had little interest in joining the fray; he would find out the results from a family member afterward. —— Meanwhile, in front of the Spirit Testing Array, Li Zhizhun and Li Shiren had clear roles: the former organized the testing queue, while the latter activated the Great Array. "This year, there are seventy to eighty thousand children being tested—the most in several years. Just conducting the tests will take several days!" an Elder excitedly declared. It should be noted that this high number was only possible because Li Shiren had used substantial resources to set up three Spirit Testing Arrays. If there had been only one Array like in previous years, the tests alone would have taken over half a month! The large turnout was attributed to Li Zhirui's policies as Acting Clan Leader, which included relocating tens of thousands of young men and women from Yunping State and encouraging the family members to have more children. Now, five or six years later, the infants born from these policies had grown up, leading to this massive turnout of tens of thousands of children for the tests. Notably, half of these children were of commoner descent without Li family bloodlines. However, having grown up under the protection of the Li family on Da Rong Island, these children had embraced their identity as part of the Li family from their hearts. Some commoners, seeking to close the gap with the Li family—believing it might increase the chances of their descendants manifesting a Spiritual Root—even went so far as to adopt the Li surname for themselves.@@@@
