After initially appeasing the spirit beasts, Li Zhirui and the others couldn't leave immediately, because the next few days were crucial to determine whether the spirit beasts had adapted to their new environment or not. Fortunately, the Li family had summarized numerous methods for nurturing these six kinds of spirit beasts and hadn't run into any trouble. All they needed was to arrange for a few clan members to come and feed the spirit beasts daily. Having arrived at Da Rong Island and with a bit of free time, Li Zhirui finally got the chance to enter his space and tend to the various spiritual objects. Meanwhile, inspired by Li Zhirui's breakthrough, Da Qing, who had fallen into a deep slumber, also woke up from his cultivation. "You broke through?!" Li Zhirui, who was casting the Spiritual Rain Skill, flew over upon hearing the familiar voice, looking at Da Qing with a face full of surprise. Li Zhirui, of course, hoped that Da Qing could advance further because this would also be an enhancement to his own strength. However, the probability of this happening was not high, so Li Zhirui didn't hold out too much hope.@@@@ In the three hundred years since the Li family's establishment, there weren't more than three instances where someone broke through to Foundation Establishment and their contracted spirit beast did too, like Li Shiqing had. Da Qing didn't respond to Li Zhirui at all, or rather, with his current level of spiritual intelligence, he wasn't capable of responding to such a question. Instead, he kept making noise on his own. "Glutton," Li Zhirui said, somewhat annoyed, but he didn't mistreat Da Qing either, immediately pulling out a few spirit fruits and bringing them to Da Qing's mouth. This, in fact, was the main reason for Da Qing's breakthrough. Because of the space's presence, Li Zhirui never shortchanged Da Qing when it came to feeding him. In fact, Da Qing's treatment was absolutely the best among all the Qi Cultivators' spirit beasts in the family, never lacking in spirit fruits. Letting Da Qing enjoy the spirit fruits, Li Zhirui continued to tend to the spirit fields, and once everything was finished, he left the space together with Da Qing. Leaving Da Qing to get familiar with the temporary residence, Li Zhirui then started his cultivation for the day. ... Finishing with the spirit beasts didn't mean Li Zhirui had nothing else to do. The family had just moved to Da Rong Island, and there was a multitude of tasks to be handled, so soon, Li Zhirui and others were roped in to help with the hard labor. In the following extended period, the seventy-some cultivators of the Li family became extremely busy. Aside from their daily cultivation, they hardly had a moment's respite. Li Zhirui's words made the atmosphere in the hall, which had just relaxed a bit, tense again. Li Shiqing looked at Li Zhirui with a hint of surprise and then, with a smile, said, "It seems there's always someone with talent in the new generation. It looks like we're getting old." This comment wasn't something Li Zhirui, as a junior, could easily agree with. He could only chuckle awkwardly and try to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. "I will have my fifth brother send someone to inquire about this matter. To be safe, the family should act cautiously until we have confirmation," Li Shiqing stated. Besides this issue, the most important thing was how the Li family should develop from here! Regarding this, Li Shilian, who was most familiar with the White Jade Sect's governance of Yunping State, offered his suggestion: "Yunbo, Yunhe, and Yunqing counties, due to their coastal location, have all developed well, but among them, Yunqing County has prospered the most." Not only because Yunqing County is centrally located among the coastal counties, serving as a transit point between the northern and southern states, but also due to the concentration of Spirit Veins in Yunqing County. The three second-tier Spirit Veins brought rich Spiritual Energy to Yunqing Marketplace, attracting many Cultivators. "So, if the family is considering setting up shops, Yunqing Marketplace would be the best choice." The discussion then unfolded around this topic, with the Elders sharing their viewpoints, and Li Zhirui, being a junior, just needed to listen attentively. "Zhirui, what's your opinion on this matter?" Perhaps because of the previous reminder, Li Shiqing made a point to ask Li Zhirui directly for his input. After organizing his thoughts based on what he had just heard, Li Zhirui said, "I think the family should restructure our industries." In Bailang County, due to the presence of the Beast Taming Sect's Sect Master, all the Spirit Beasts raised by the vassal forces were sold as raw materials, and then the Beast Taming Sect would process them to make Spirit Food for sale. Li Zhirui had tried two types of Spirit Food when he broke through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, thanks to being brought by Li Shiren to a restaurant operated by the Beast Taming Sect. One was a ginseng stew made with Crimson Feather Chicken, and the other was crystal roasted pork made from Tusked Swine. Both tasted quite good and could even enhance a Cultivator's Mana, but they were not cheap; the two dishes cost twenty Spirit Stones. However, from Li Zhirui's observations, a single Crimson Feather Chicken could make at least six servings of the ginseng stew, and a single Tusked Swine could yield fifty servings of the crystal roasted pork. Considering the prices at which the Li family sold these two types of Spirit Beasts, the Beast Taming Sect only needed to sell a few servings of Spirit Food to make a profit!
