Li Zhirui once again entered the quiet room, and before doing so, he had asked a clansman to help send a letter back to the family, explaining that his seclusion this time might last for a long time.
In fact, the main purpose of the letter was to inform Li Shiqing that he was preparing for his breakthrough to Golden Core.
"Zhirui is also starting his preparations?" Afterwards, when Li Shiqing heard the news, he murmured to himself in a low voice.
Some time ago, Li Shilian formally entered the Spirit Cave for seclusion, and if all went well, there should be results within five years.
As for Li Zhirui, since he had just solidified his foundation, he still needed time to enhance his cultivation and raise his realm to Foundation Establishment Perfection, and this period would definitely not be short.
According to Li Shiqing's estimation, it would be quite impressive if Li Zhirui could be ready for the breakthrough within ten years.
And this was only possible because Li Zhirui had enough Spirit Pills to consume; otherwise, such a swift pace would be impossible.
While Li Shilian and Li Zhirui were both in seclusion, Li Zhizhun, who had been the Clan Leader for over a decade, also began to implement reforms within the family.
After all, with the expansion of the Li family, the previous practices had become unsuitable and could even hinder the family's development, which Li Zhizhun naturally would not allow to continue. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
For this reason, Li Zhizhun specifically summoned all the Elders, and with the support of Li Shiqing, directly stated the areas he wished to reform.
"First and foremost, with the increase in the number of our clan members and various affairs, the previous system where one Elder was in charge, or at most aided by a few more clansmen, can no longer keep up with the pace of development," said Li Zhizhun in a solemn voice.
"Therefore, I plan to follow the example of major powers and establish the Internal Affairs Hall, Enforcement Hall, Alchemy Hall, etc., to better take responsibility for the family."
In the past, the Li family did not have these because neither the past Clan Leaders nor Elders thought it necessary. After all, forcing these systems in the past would only have been time-consuming and ineffective.
But now things are different; the Li family is developing rapidly, and every year, several dozen or even hundreds of children with Spiritual Roots are born.
Although they are still young and unable to contribute to the family's efforts, their very existence is enough to prove the strength and growth of the Li family, as well as its future!
Thus, these actions would have had to be taken eventually; they are merely being brought forward.
And if the child had a Spiritual Root, they could become a cultivator, join the Li family, change their social standing, and ascend to the heavens in one step.
Apart from this, in these three years, two more Foundation Establishment cultivators were born within the Li family, named Li Zhihe and Li Zhilou.
In fact, during this time, it wasn't only these two who attempted to break through to Foundation Establishment, but other clan members also failed, and since they did not use Foundation Establishment Pills, failure meant death and the vanishing of their cultivation path.
Yes! The cluster of clan members trying to break through to Foundation Establishment hadn't used Foundation Establishment Pills, because they could not accumulate enough Contribution Value. They had no choice but to resort to using Spiritual Objects for Foundation Establishment to take the risk.
These two were lucky enough to survive and even succeeded in breaking through to Foundation Establishment, but the others were not so fortunate.
For the Li family, Spiritual Objects for Foundation Establishment were not considered rare. If it hadn't been for the intentional suppression by the Yuanming Sect, the Li family wouldn't have struggled to acquire Foundation Establishment Pills.
In fact, Li Zhizhun had another reform in mind, which was for the clan to provide loans to those members who were hopeful of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, allowing them to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.
But there was a significant problem, the clan did not have enough Foundation Establishment Pills!
They even had only one Foundation Establishment Pill left now, so Li Zhizhun had to suppress this thought and wait for future opportunities to discuss it.
In these three years, Li Zhixuan and Li Zhiyue, who had gone out for experience, returned to Da Rong Island one after the other.
The former returned covered in scars, with even a scar beneath the corner of her left eye. Clearly, she had encountered extremely dangerous situations, even a brush with death.
This scar was the result of a fight over Spiritual Medicine with another cultivator, where the situation had been exceedingly disadvantageous for her, constantly being suppressed by her opponent.
If it hadn't been for Li Zhixuan's ruthlessness, intentionally exposing a deadly flaw to lure the opponent into attacking.
In the end, Li Zhixuan gambled and won. She used the injury near her eye to kill her adversary and obtained a very precious second-grade Spiritual Medicine.
Her return to Da Rong Island this time was entirely because she had been wandering outside for quite some time, and the multitude of Devil Beasts and cultivators she had slaughtered over the years had left her with a dense and terrifying aura of death, which had started to affect her. She needed time to cleanse it.
As for the latter, Li Zhiyue, although she did not have the same experiences as Zhixuan, her adventures outside had also been full of various incidents, and she had matured a lot.
