According to the time it took Li Shiqing to break through to Golden Core, Li Zhirui would need at least five years for this seclusion, or even longer. After all, Li Shiqing had refined himself for an unknown period of time at the later stages of Foundation Establishment, his foundation already incredibly solid, incomparable to the current Li Zhirui. Li Zhirui was aware of this, so the duration of this seclusion he set for himself was at least five years. Up to ten years wasn't out of the question either, and he was fully prepared for a 'long-term battle.' As Li Zhirui once again entered the quiet room to seclude himself, Li Shiting and the others sent by the family quietly arrived at Green Mountain State. They brought with them a large amount of Spirit Stones, changed their identities several times, and after running around several auction houses, they finally acquired eight Foundation Establishment Pills. Danger was not absent during this process, but all the cultivators who laid hands on them were counter-killed, when faced with the encirclement of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and four second-order Spirit Beasts. Because their actions were sufficiently covert and careful, their true identities went undetected. After circling around the Boundless Sea to make sure no one was tracking them, they headed towards Da Rong Island. "Eight Foundation Establishment Pills, enough for the family's needs for the coming years!" Li Shiqing said with satisfaction, nodding as he looked at the eight exquisitely charming little jade bottles before him. As long as they got through the next few years, once Li Shilian broke through to Golden Core, the Yuanming Sect's threat to the family would not be so great anymore, and they wouldn't need to be so cautious about buying Foundation Establishment Pills. And if Li Zhirui could also break through to Golden Core soon, the Li family's strength would actually surpass Yuanming Sect. If willing to pay the price, it wasn't impossible to eliminate Yuanming Sect and occupy both Yunping State and Guangqing State. Of course, destroying a Golden Core power that had been developing for many years was not a simple matter. It was evident from the time Li Shiqing and four other Golden Cores ambushed Yu Qing; they had made all sorts of preparations, yet Yu Qing still managed to take away one Golden Core and wound Jiang Tianming. Regarding Jiang Tianming, Li Shiqing always suspected whether he had suffered a deep-rooted injury that damaged his foundation, otherwise, why would he remain out of sight for so long? Yet, he had not considered another aspect, one that was extremely detrimental to the Li family! "Second Uncle, how is Uncle Lian currently?" Li Shiren asked. Li Shiqing pondered for a moment and said, "The situation seems not bad, even a bit better than when I was in seclusion." Ever since Li Shilian began his seclusion, he had been keeping track of the days; and now, nearly seven years had passed since his seclusion started! Unfortunately, the Spirit Cave where Li Shilian was located remained tranquil without any signs of activity. It wasn't until half a year later, when Tribulation clouds began to gather above Da Rong Island and Li Shilian sat on his meditation cushion preparing for Tribulation Transcendence, that everyone reacted. "Did Uncle Lian really succeed?" Li Shiren muttered to himself. He was actually a bit perplexed now, unsure of how to develop next. Taking steady steps towards the late stage of Foundation Establishment and then diligently refining his mana wasn't without the possibility of a breakthrough to Golden Core. But the chances were very low in the short term! Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire Because he didn't have the years of accumulation that Li Shiqing had, nor the assistance of Golden Ganoderma like Li Shilian, and he couldn't even compare to Li Zhirui—who at least had plenty of Spirit Pills to consume, hastening his mana accumulation. "Everyone, stay back three miles from the Spirit Cave, do not approach!" shouted Li Shiqing, his voice instantly reaching all the clan members who had come to watch. No one dared to delay; they all retreated to the distance. Although they hadn't witnessed Thunder Tribulation before, they were very clear about its characteristics and naturally wouldn't trouble Li Shilian. The pitch-black Tribulation clouds in the sky quickly took shape, exerting a strong sense of oppression, making everyone feel a bit short of breath. But this physical harm-free pressure couldn't keep them away from watching the Thunder Tribulation up close. Boom! Not long after, under the watchful eyes of all, the first strike of Tribulation Thunder descended from the clouds! Compared to Li Shiqing's adept handling of Tribulation Thunder in the past, Li Shilian was at a much greater disadvantage but luckily, he still managed to withstand it safely in the end. The second strike of Tribulation Thunder came as expected, forcing Li Shilian to destroy a Magic Artifact in his hand in order to bear it. "The accumulation is still lacking," Li Shiqing whispered from the side. However, Li Shilian couldn't afford to wait a few more years for just a bit more accumulation, as he was no longer young! The third strike of Tribulation Thunder was the fastest; everyone only caught a glimpse of light before Li Shilian was enveloped by the Tribulation Thunder.
