"Has the Spiritual Medicine planted by our family not matured yet?" Li Zhirui asked in surprise. Li Shiqing explained the origin of the Spiritual Medicine, and Li Zhirui instantly understood Shen Leishan's intentions, scoffing as he said, "Playing a good game of checks and balances." "Those Yuanming Sect people aren't fools either; they won't make a move on the family in the short term." Unless the other party gave birth to another Golden Core cultivator, who felt capable of completely suppressing the Li family. But how easy is it for a Golden Core cultivator to emerge? The Li family had two Golden Cores appear in a short period of time because of diversely favorable circumstances. Li Zhirui nodded slightly, realizing that as long as the family wasn't facing external pressure, he didn't need to rush anymore and could travel at his leisure. "I won't ask any more, then. Take care of yourself." Li Zhirui, looking somewhat embarrassed, smiled and said, "Uncle, do you still have any third-tier Talismans on hand? I'd like to exchange some Contribution Value for a few." "A few?" Li Shiqing glared at him and said, "Do you think third-tier Talismans grow on trees? You ask for several as easily as asking for cabbages." Even though Li Shiqing's success rate in creating third-tier Talismans had increased quite a bit, the materials were rare and expensive, so weren't they something that could be made so easily? The third-tier Talismans he kept on hand were intended to save lives for people like Li Zhirui when they went out to travel. "I'll give you at most two Defensive Talismans," Li Shiqing regretfully said. "The difficulty of making an Escape Talisman is too high, otherwise one would be enough." The challenge of crafting a third-tier Escape Talisman far exceeded any other third-tier Talisman, and the materials used were extremely precious. Even with the wealth of the Li family, only a few materials could be purchased each year. Moreover, third-tier Escape Talismans were almost nonexistent on the market; the rare ones that appeared from major powers were quickly bought by others. "That's enough, thank you, Uncle!" Li Zhirui was overjoyed, not expecting to get two third-tier Defensive Talismans, which would greatly enhance the safety of his upcoming training experience! "Alright, go and start refining the Foundation Establishment Pills," he said before waving Li Zhirui off. The Spiritual Medicines required for Foundation Establishment were not in Li Shiqing's hands but stored in the warehouse behind the main hall. Fortunately, he had the Token and didn't need to find Li Zhizhun; he could go in and take the Spiritual Medicines himself. However, as he was taking the Spiritual Medicines and preparing to return to his courtyard, he ran into Li Zhizhun and exchanged a few pleasantries. To ensure he was in optimal condition, Li Zhirui didn't rush to refine them all but instead kept five portions of Spiritual Medicines and planned to refine them the next day. Two days passed in a flash, and Li Zhirui successfully refined the last batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, which gave him a pleasant surprise; he had actually produced four pills! "Seven portions of ingredients yielded nineteen Foundation Establishment Pills!" Li Zhirui smiled broadly, content with an unexpected bounty, saying, "With this, the family won't be short of Foundation Establishment Pills for a while." As for the two Foundation Establishment Pills he had kept aside earlier, Li Zhirui had originally planned to bring them out. But now that he had refined so many, he decided against it and instead to find an opportunity to sell them for some Spirit Stones. After resting for another night, Li Zhirui, with his full harvest, went to find Li Shiqing, preparing to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pills to him, then stay in the family for a few more days before going out to travel and seek an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core. "Uncle, long time no see." But unexpectedly, he ran into Li Zhixuan on his way. Li Zhirui nodded, sizing her up and said with a smile, "It seems you've made quite the gains these years." Although Li Zhixuan was still hovering in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, her Mana was substantial and thick, perhaps a few more years would see a breakthrough. Seeing this, Li Zhirui was very gratified. After all, this proved that he hadn't made a mistake in his judgement, and his foresight was good. As for how Li Zhixuan's cultivation had improved so rapidly, it naturally had a lot to do with her desperation and dedication. "Do you need something from me?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Zhirui took the initiative to ask. Li Zhixuan said, "When I was establishing my foundation, Uncle, you lent me forty thousand Contribution Value. Now, I'm ready to repay part of it." "Oh!" Li Zhirui suddenly remembered. He had forgotten many things during his seclusion and needed others to remind him. "No hurry, you can take your time to pay it back." After all, Contribution Value wasn't of much use to him. "I'll repay ten thousand Contribution Value this time and pay back the rest later. Please, Uncle, make a note of this debt." Li Zhirui had no objections and took out a Jade Slip to record the matter. Seeing this, Li Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh with relief.
