Li Shiqing knew that Li Zhirui had broken through and was very happy, but he quickly calmed down and said, "It's time to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Pill." "It just so happens that in a few months, the Yuanming Sect will hold another auction, and if there is a Foundation Establishment Pill, we must win it!" Although Li Zhirui had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, there was still some distance to perfection, the Foundation Establishment Pill could be well-preserved for up to ten years without any loss of efficacy. So if there was a chance to get the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, it absolutely could not be missed. What if something unexpected happened later, and the Yuanming Sect didn't sell Foundation Establishment Pills for a short period? As for the Spirit Stones needed to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, the family had prepared early on. The small Spirit Stone mine that Li Zhirui had discovered brought the family over sixty thousand Spirit Stones. Add to that the income from the two shops the family had opened in the marketplace over the past two years. Despite the competition, the stores still generated several thousand Spirit Stones each month. If they ran into a merchant caravan, the family could gain an additional income. Taking everything into account, they had also saved up more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones. That is to say, the Li family now had one hundred thousand Spirit Stones at hand, more than enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill. "Cultivate well and strive to reach perfection and break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible," Li Shiqing said with full anticipation, and he believed that Li Zhirui would not disappoint him. "Yes, I will!" Li Zhirui nodded emphatically. He was also looking forward to breaking through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible. For this, Li Zhirui decided to devote most of his time to cultivation, cutting down on time for alchemy and other affairs, but he didn't give up on going out for experiential training. However, Li Zhirui stayed dutifully at home for the first two months after his breakthrough. Because Da Qing had broken through as well. Following Li Zhirui's breakthrough, as a Contracted Spirit Beast, Da Qing benefited from the contract, and the years of nurturing with a large amount of Spirit Pills and Spirit Fruits all transformed into overwhelming mana, propelling Da Qing towards the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. Once Da Qing had successfully broken through, Li Zhirui once again ventured out for experiential training, honing his mana through battle, a method far more effective than slowly cultivating on his own, and also enhancing his combat skills. One day, having received a summons from Li Shiqing, Li Zhirui, sensing something, walked joyfully towards the main hall. "Tomorrow is the day the Yuanming Sect will hold the auction. Prepare yourselves, and let's go to the marketplace together," Li Shiqing said once everyone had gathered. "Seventy thousand!" The Li family joined the bidding, and Li Shilian started with an increase of twenty thousand Spirit Stones, showing a determined stance. A cultivator with a sullen face muttered lowly, "Seventy thousand one!" "Seventy-three thousand!" Li Shilian did not hesitate to call out the price, which could be considered the highest for a Foundation Establishment Pill in recent years. The cultivator competing with the Li family seemed to want to bid again, but in the end, closed their mouth. As for the other Cultivators, either they did not have that many Spirit Stones, or they felt the price had reached its peak. To bid further seemed unwise, especially with the risk of being left hanging by the Li family if the price went higher. "Bang!" Three breaths later, the elder struck the gavel, meaning the Foundation Establishment Pill was bought by the Li family for seventy-three thousand Spirit Stones. "The buyer of the Foundation Establishment Pill is from the Li family on Da Rong Island?" someone from a certain family's room murmured: "Could it be that a member of the Li family is about to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?" They did not guess it was Li Zhirui because before entering the auction house, he had used the Cicada Breathing Skill to conceal his aura and strength. Unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator investigated carefully with their Divine Sense, it would be difficult to detect him, leading many to speculate which member of the Li family was on the verge of breaking through to Foundation Establishment. "We got it!" Joy was evident on the faces of the Li family members. If they weren't in the auction house, their reaction would have been more fervent. Moreover, according to the auction house's rules, they couldn't immediately receive the Foundation Establishment Pill; they had to wait until the end of the auction, pay the Spirit Stones, and then acquire it. After a few rare second-tier Spiritual Objects were sold, the elder presented a Devil Beast egg, introducing it as, "A third-tier, water-attributed Devil Beast egg. Our investigation suggests it is a Water Spirit Turtle. The starting bid is five thousand Spirit Stones." The Water Spirit Turtle, a third-tier water-attributed Devil Beast, has a very special talent; it condenses a bowl of Spirit Water on its shell each month, with the grade of the Spirit Water determined by its cultivation level. In other words, if there is a third-tier Water Spirit Turtle, it would condense a bowl of third-tier Spirit Water every month! Usually, the condensed Spirit Water is common, but occasionally, there can be surprises. While the Water Spirit Turtle's talent seems potent, don't forget that it's linked to its cultivation level!
