Seeing Li Zhirui's open and forthright manner, the crowd felt somewhat reassured, but they didn't abandon their suspicions, and each began to extend their divine sense to inspect. Although they were not alchemists, there was strength in numbers, and amongst them were certainly a few with discerning eyes. Moreover, they couldn't find anything amiss, so they believed the Spirit Pills laid out before Li Zhirui were indeed genuine Water Refinement Pills. "I'll take two bottles of Consolidating Yuan Pills!" "I want one bottle of Consolidating Yuan Pill and one bottle of Nourishing Spirit Pill!" ... All the cultivators present were clamoring to speak first, afraid that a moment's delay would result in the Spirit Pills being sold out.@@@@ "No rush, no rush, I've refined many Spirit Pills, sufficient to satisfy all my fellow Daoists," Li Zhirui said with a smile on his lips, swiftly collecting money with one hand and handing over the Spirit Pills with the other. It didn't take long for the dozens of bottles of Spirit Pills on display at the stall to sell out, but there were still many cultivators standing in front of him. Some of them had not managed to buy any earlier, others had heard the news and rushed over in haste. Among these people, there was a cultivator whom Li Zhirui knew very well—it was Li Zhixuan, who was from the same clan as he! He hadn't expected to encounter Li Zhixuan at this marketplace. Logically, she should have been at the Green Mountain Market. 'Why does this person feel so familiar?' Li Zhixuan wondered silently to herself. But Jiu was supposed to be gaining experience elsewhere, wasn't he? Could it be that he has already returned? And even come to Green Mountain State? When Li Zhixuan received the Consolidating Yuan Pill, she confirmed that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator she had never met was indeed Li Zhirui! Even though the appearance and cultivation level didn't match, through the Consolidating Yuan Pill, she still recognized Li Zhirui's identity. "No need to linger, go about your business," Li Zhirui looked up to see Li Zhixuan standing by without leaving and immediately said via a private transmission. He had no intention of acknowledging Li Zhixuan, and since he was busy selling Spirit Pills, he couldn't afford to be distracted. Moreover, it was clear that after this period of trials, Li Zhixuan no longer seemed like a cultivator who had just entered Foundation Establishment; her strength had significantly improved. Hearing this, Li Zhixuan had no choice but to leave with the doubts in her heart. Once everything was prepared, Li Zhirui entered the meditation chamber. This was going to be the longest period of seclusion since he'd begun his cultivation! Li Zhirui discarded all distracting thoughts and, with a tranquil mind, began to circulate his cultivation technique. Currents of Spiritual Energy were absorbed with each breath and, after filtering, he exhaled all the Spiritual Energy of the other three elements, leaving only the blue and green water and Wood Spirit Energy to transform into a faint Spirit Light, softly glowing within his body. It rendered him so otherworldly that he seemed like an Immortal from high above Tianming. The activity of Li Zhirui's absorption of Spiritual Energy was considerable, attracting many clan members to observe. "Is Zhirui really just cultivating, not breaking through?" a clan member asked in surprise. "How could that be? Zhirui only reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment a few years ago, how could he be breaking through again so soon?" "But this disturbance, it's just too great. It doesn't look like ordinary cultivation." "Perhaps it's because we're not at the Foundation Establishment stage, so we don't understand the mysteries involved," remarked another. After a while, the onlookers dispersed, returning to their own affairs. As one situation unfolds, another follows suit elsewhere. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire At this very moment, far away in Green Mountain State, Li Zhixuan was hiding in a secluded corner, intently watching a group of individuals clad in black not far away. The reason she had ventured to the Marketplace, far distant from Green Mountain, was specifically to track this group, comprising two Foundation Establishment cultivators and six Qi Cultivators. This was the task Li Zhixuan had taken on: to investigate these individuals' identities and their intentions, and if possible, eliminate them all. The reason they were targeted for a bounty was simple; they were Loose Cultivators lured by Demonic Tao techniques and had begun practicing demonic cultivation. To prevent them from cultivating those faulty, quick-result techniques that risked losing one's sanity and causing significant destruction, they needed to be eradicated promptly. Compared to venturing into the mountains to hunt Devil Beasts or search for Spiritual Medicine, the reward for this kind of mission was obviously more substantial. But with it came an elevated level of danger; one misstep could result in death at the hands of one's target. This time, Li Zhixuan was up against the two Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators and those several Qi Demon Cultivators. Even though the Demon Cultivators outnumbered and outpowered Li Zhixuan in every aspect, she was neither panicky nor concerned but instead quite confident.
