"Zhizhun, stay a moment; the rest of you may return," Li Shiqing spoke, as everyone else was dismissed. The crowd was somewhat surprised by Li Shiqing's decision to keep Li Zhizhun, though he was also in the later stages of Qi Cultivation, he was rather ordinary apart from some talent in brewing Spiritual Wine. Only Li Shiren and Li Shilian knew the reason why Li Shiqing asked him to stay. When only the two of them were left in the main hall, Li Shiqing scrutinized Li Zhizhun for the first time with serious attention, causing the latter, who was initially clueless, to grow tense all of a sudden. "There's no need to be so tense, sit," Li Shiqing gestured with his hand and asked, "Do you know why I have chosen to speak with you alone?" "I do not," Li Zhizhun shook his head honestly. Li Shiqing did not beat around the bush, but told him straightforwardly, "Shilian and Shiren have both recommended you to me, believing you are capable of assuming the role of Clan Leader." "Why? Zhirui is more suited for the position than I am," Li Zhizhun said, puzzled. Li Shiqing sighed with a hint of helplessness, "You are right, but Zhirui has no desire to be the Clan Leader; he wishes to achieve greater things on the path of Immortal Tao. Therefore, he will only take on the responsibility temporarily from me after his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, acting as an Acting Clan Leader. Once a suitable person emerges, he will relinquish his authority."@@@@ "So, you have chosen me as the Clan Leader?" Li Zhizhun was full of questions, but he had clarified this much. Li Shiqing nodded, knowing if he disclosed the whole truth, it would make Li Zhizhun feel as though he was just picking up what Zhirui had discarded. However, he chose not to lie, for if the lie was exposed, it might be even harder for Li Zhizhun to accept. "Then why do you wish to step down as Clan Leader?" Li Zhizhun understood Zhirui's reasons for declining, but could not comprehend why Li Shiqing would want to resign from his successful position as the Clan Leader. "I am preparing to enter seclusion and make a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm," Li Shiqing revealed without elaborating. "After you go back, give it some thought. If you are willing, the family's next Foundation Establishment Pill will be yours," he continued. Li Zhizhun was stunned by these words. Although it seemed that, apart from Zhirui, no one else in the family was qualified to compete with him for the Foundation Establishment Pill, what if a new late-stage Qi Cultivator emerged within the family in these few years? It seemed improbable, but it wasn't impossible. Moreover, he could tell from Li Shiqing's words that the owner of the next Foundation Establishment Pill would undoubtedly be the next Clan Leader! 'Becoming the Clan Leader, huh? That doesn't sound too bad.' He could not only receive the Foundation Establishment Pill but also control the direction of the family's development. "I won't let Jiu down!" Li Zhixuan was definitely not one to shrink back from the current difficulties. Li Zhirui smiled and nodded, exchanging a few pleasantries with her before returning to his small courtyard.

"If you are cultivating, you shouldn't continue to refine Spirit Pills anymore to avoid distracting yourself." Li Shile said, "Although the family doesn't have a real Water Method Alchemist, there are already several clan members who can refine Jade Spirit Pills. With them around, they can ensure the family's interests." "It's fine, I can't cultivate all day as it is, and these Spirit Pills are all refined when I have spare time," Li Zhirui said with a smile. Li Zhirui's meridians still couldn't endure the long-term rush of Spiritual Energy. He could cultivate for a maximum of four hours a day before reaching his limit. With the rest of his time, Li Zhirui was either refining Spirit Pills, practicing the Visualization Skill, occasionally playing with Da Qing in the space, or tending to the Spiritual Medicine, leading a very fulfilling life. Hearing this, Li Shile had little more to say, so he changed the topic to discuss recent developments in the family. "That little gal Zhiyue is cultivating fast and is about to break through to the second level of Qi Cultivation soon. She doesn't waste her impressive talent," Li Shile said with a chuckle. With Li Zhirui leading the previous generation and now the emergence of Li Zhiyue, many elders saw them as the hope for the family's rise. When Li Shile mentioned Li Zhiyue, Li Zhirui asked, "Is she willing to form a contract with the Water Spirit Turtle?" "She's very willing. Now we're just waiting for the Water Spirit Turtle to hatch so she can sign the contract," Li Shile replied. Li Zhirui nodded. After all, he had been the one who requested to buy the Water Spirit Turtle, so he was naturally more invested in it. "Sir Yue, I should be heading back," Li Zhirui said, after receiving the Spirit Stones and the materials needed for the following month, and took his leave. As spring went and autumn came, with cold fading and heat arriving, two years passed by unnoticed. After these two years of cultivation, Li Zhirui had reached the perfection of Qi Cultivation Completion and was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm!
