Chapter 99 One Year

"Clan Leader! This year, more than five thousand children were tested for their Spiritual Roots, and our family has gained seven new members." The Spirit Root Testing Conference that just ended yesterday was the focal point of today's meeting. Although many people already knew the results, they still listened as the Elder repeated them. "Among them, there is one with Five Spirit Roots, four with Four Spiritual Roots, and two with Three Spiritual Roots. The one with the best aptitude is a clan member named Li Zhiyan, whose Fire Spirit Root purity has reached an astonishing seventy percent!" "Among the seven individuals, two are from the 'Cheng' generation of our lineage." Jing Jixu Feng Yu, Chun Shi Shi Zhi Cheng, Da Xue Wen Ming Xian, Hong Xun Tai Yun Xin; these are the generational titles set by the Li Family Ancestor for the twenty generations. Now, after more than three hundred years, the Li family has reached the tenth generation. "Very good," Li Zhirui said, nodding with satisfaction. If we include the clan members who have just discovered their Spiritual Roots this year, then the Li family now boasts over a hundred Cultivators! This number may not seem large, but for the Li family, it is a momentous breakthrough. As for the commoners with different surnames, not a single one participated, because those the Li family had originally brought back were young men and women. Among them, the quickest to act are just now pregnant, while the slower ones have yet to marry. But it will take only five years! By then, the number of commoners testing for Spiritual Roots will have skyrocketed by several times, and the quantity of Li family Cultivators will reach new heights! "Have the statistics for the cultivation levels of our clan members been completed?" Li Zhirui had ordered this last month, wanting to see how much the family's strength had improved over the years. "Everything has been recorded." The Miscellaneous Affairs Elder, Li Shiqi, was in charge of this task, which he could carry out while distributing the monthly stipend. "Our family currently has five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including one at the late stage, one at the mid-stage, and three at the early stage." However, this data would soon change, as Li Shiting was currently in seclusion, working towards her breakthrough. With her years of accumulation, her success was almost guaranteed to be smooth. Li Shiren has spent his time comprehending the Seal Spirit Lock Spirit Array he learned from the Secret Realm, which has delayed his Cultivation. As for Li Shilian, he seems to have reignited his ambitions. He is constantly solidifying his foundation and has no intention of attempting a breakthrough in the near future. Regarding Li Zhirui himself, it has been only a year since his Foundation Establishment. Unless he comes across some heaven-defying treasure, how could he possibly make another breakthrough so quickly? This was also the reason why the Li family had only a few dozen Qi Cultivation cultivators, yet possessed four at Foundation Establishment. Meanwhile, in a small courtyard within the family lands, the increasingly tall Li Zhixuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, swallowing three Jade Spirit Pills in one gulp. A majestic flow of spiritual energy coursed through her meridians. Enduring the discomfort in her meridians, she directed the spiritual energy, transforming it into strands of mana that entered her Dantian. Boom! It was as if a world had been created in the chaos, and a deafening explosion rang out in Li Zhixuan's ears. The bottleneck that had been blocking her path suddenly shattered, and the remaining mana pushed her to advance into the fourth level of Qi Cultivation. "I've finally broken through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation!" After an unknown length of time, Li Zhixuan opened her pitch-black eyes. Even her usually indifferent face now showed a trace of joy. Poor Spiritual Root aptitude means not only a slower pace of cultivation but also the bottlenecks encountered during cultivation! The more Spiritual Roots one has, the sturdier the bottlenecks in their path of cultivation. For example, because Li Zhixuan has Four Spiritual Roots, the bottleneck she faced breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation was harder to break than for a cultivator with Three Spiritual Roots. Almost simultaneously, inside the rear hall, a subtle change began to take place within Li Shiqing, although it was faint for the moment and no one detected it. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another year passed. In that year, the Li family had accrued enough Spirit Stones to secure a Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction. At the end of the same year, Li Zhizhun reached Qi Cultivation Completion and qualified for a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. Perhaps out of caution, he chose not to break through immediately but decided to polish his skills for another half year. In the same year, Li Zhiyue, a dual Spiritual Roots prodigy with extremely pure roots, broke through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation before the age of fifteen, becoming the youngest late-stage Qi Cultivation member in the history of the Li family! Also during this year, Da Qing, who had been nourished by a large amount of Spirit Pills and Spirit Fruits provided by Li Zhirui, successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, just one step away from Foundation Establishment! In just one year, many things happened to the Li family. For example, Spirit Medicine Mountain was successfully developed and is already producing many first-grade Spiritual Medicines. There is no longer a need to purchase them in large quantities from the outside world, saving the family a great deal of Spirit Stones. The seven Spirit Earthworms, which were fed a large amount of Spiritual Objects, also bred a small community during this year, richly fertilizing the Spirit Fields around the family's four Spirit Veins.
