"When we left," said the cultivator sent by Yuanming Sect, "they told us to return to the Marketplace in five days." "Five days?" Li Shiqing nodded, the timing was quicker than he had expected, which seemed to indicate that the Yuanming Sect still placed great importance on Yunqing Marketplace. Li Shiqing then inquired about the condition of Li Zhirui and the other clan members, and, knowing that apart from Li Zhirui, nearly all the other members had recovered, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.@@@@ "If there's nothing else, everyone can go back." Just as everyone was about to rise, Li Shiren said, "Clan Leader, after this battle at the Marketplace, I've found that our clansmen couldn't fully utilize their strength. I think we should all go through some hard training to enhance our abilities." If everyone were a little stronger, there would have been no need for Li Zhirui to endure the intense pain of his damaged meridians while protecting the other clan members. "Do you think the strength of those clan members in the Marketplace was too weak?" Li Shiqing smiled and said, "Have you ever considered what these clan members do?" Although the Li family did not assign fixed duties to its members, in practice, this had already been happening; for instance, Alchemists specialized in Alchemy, and Spiritual Plant Cultivators focused on nurturing Spirit Plants, and so on. The clan members at the Marketplace were Shopkeepers, Assistants, and Spirit Chefs; although they were still cultivators, they had essentially moved away from the identity of a cultivator, and naturally, their strength wasn't very formidable. Of course, Li Zhirui's intentions were good, to enhance their strength and improve their risk resistance, but he overlooked one thing: they didn't have the time to undergo such training! Even if they forcefully carved out the time to train, it would be forgotten amidst their daily busyness, not making a significant difference in their lives. "You can organize family members who are willing to train and lead them yourself to cultivate in the nearby seas," Li Shiqing shared his views on the matter. From this, it was evident that Li Shiqing supported Li Shiren's idea, but he was more level-headed, considering all aspects. Moreover, Li Shiqing also saw this as an opportunity to change the family's atmosphere, and the easiest to influence were clearly the youngest members of the Li family! They were the clan members he referred to who were willing to participate in the training. These youngsters, having almost suffocated from boredom on the island, would be eager to sign up for the chance to venture out, especially since the expedition involved training, and they would have Li Shiren, a Foundation Establishment Uncle to oversee it. Li Zhirui, whose body had recovered slightly, stood on the shore, his eyes filled with envy as he watched the clan members leave. Most of those people were of Li Zhirui's generation, with only a few younger members who had more hopes in the Shiren generation. It is widely known that stimulating oneself through battle can accelerate a cultivator's training pace and even play a certain role in breaking through bottlenecks. Like Li Zhirui—although he was currently in a pitiful state, he hadn't come out of it without gains. His cultivation level had maintained a relatively quick growth rate over these days. "Let's all go back. They will return safely," Li Shiqing said, his eyes hiding a barely noticeable concern, clearly not as confident as he appeared. Hearing this, Li Zhirui withdrew his gaze following the departing sea vessel. His injuries would be completely healed in another month or two, and then he would also be able to join the clan members on their sea expedition. There was no need to envy them. Li Zhirui had already asked Li Shiren and knew that although this matter had not been completely settled, there was no rule stating this was a one-time opportunity. Moreover, Li Shiqing seemed to tacitly agree with the idea. As long as this training expedition went without mishap, even if there were no significant gains, they would not have to worry about it being called off. —— Meanwhile, on the distant sea vessel that had left, Li Zhihao appeared extremely excited, exclaiming, "We've really left Da Rong Island and started our own training journey!" "Perhaps this time, I might come across a very precious Spiritual Object!" Li Zhiming gave Li Zhihao a disdainful look and retorted, "Do you think Spiritual Objects are that easy to come by? Even if we do encounter one, it will definitely be mine." Seeing the two about to argue once again, the eldest of the Zhi generation, Li Zhizhun, hastily interjected, "That's enough, both of you cut it out!" As the eldest brother, Li Zhizhun held a certain level of prestige in the hearts of his brothers and sisters. After all, he was the eldest. Figures like Li Zhiming and Li Zhihao had been cared for by him when they were young, and besides, he was one of the only two Qi Cultivators in the late stage among the Zhi generation. Li Zhirui, on the other hand, had never been looked after by him. As a transmigrator, even when young, he had been capable of taking care of himself in daily life. Hence, the relationship between Li Zhizhun and Li Zhirui wasn't as close as the bond he shared with other brothers and sisters.
