From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 132: Sea Covering Seal

Facing the curious gaze of the youth, Li Zongyao stretched out his hand and held the pearl in his palm as he spoke, "This is one of the true foundations of our Li Family, the strange treasure [Green Tide Pearl]."

"Cultivators who practice the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill and have achieved Qi Refining Perfection can refine this pearl to rival a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"When a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator refines this pearl, it can help them advance to a higher stage, greatly enhancing their combat power, truly a precious treasure."

So, this pearl was also a strange treasure?

Li Quanqing’s heart stirred slightly, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Then, Clan Leader, if a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator refines the Green Tide Pearl, can they compare to a Golden Core cultivator?"

Li Zongyao nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly, sighing softly, "It is said that in the hands of the first generation Clan Leader, this Green Tide Pearl once exhibited the power of a Golden Core; sadly, later generations were ineffectual, and its effects were never replicated."

The first generation Clan Leader... Li Wanqing?

Li Quanqing recalled the family genealogy; this person was indeed the founder of the Green Jade Li Family, who had seven children whose generation’s names all began with ’长’, corresponding to the seven branch islands of the family.

"The Green Tide Pearl cannot be away from Qingyu Island for long to avoid being lost; Elder Quanqing, how about moving in to live with me, and I can entrust this pearl to you?"

The old man’s gaze was utterly sincere, devoid of any pretense.

Indeed, he was a venerable and lamentable elder, who had accepted a critical mission in times of crisis, refined the Green Tide Pearl at the Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm, and protected the family through storms.

Due to the Green Tide Pearl, he had hardly left Qingyu Island for over a hundred and eighty years, living a life of solitary devotion, safeguarding the descendants.

Thus, when he initially pleaded on behalf of his grandson, sacrificing his dignity for a Foundation Establishment Pill, he had garnered the support of the elders.

Even Li Kunlun, in the end, did not insist, as he knew there was a second pill at Yanyue Sect, and his heart was mostly filled with reluctance.

Li Quanqing was somewhat tempted, but ultimately he declined, "Clan Leader, I still think Baoying Fang suits me better, and I’m willing to watch over our family’s workshop."

Too many Foundation Establishment cultivators resided on Qingyu Island; his cultivation was the lowest, and he had many secrets, which really wasn’t suitable.

Though it might seem tremendously rebellious, Li Quanqing thought.

He would endure for a few more decades until the Clan Leader passed away, and then he would come to inherit the pearl.

Li Zongyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That’s also fine; Foundation Establishment cultivators also need training and support from the family."

"So, I oversee the Evergreen Hall and the family treasure vault, Kunlun manages the Jade Dragon Pond, and all Green Jade Carp breeding and Magic Artifact crafting are under his control, while Kunli has taken over the family shares of Whale Emperor Fang."

"After all considerations, indeed, only Baoying Fang is the most suitable for you."

At this point, the old man understood why, after Li Kunli’s breakthrough, he specifically requested the Whale Emperor Fang.

Even though, strictly speaking in terms of geographical location and potential, Baoying Square was undoubtedly the better choice.

Looking at it now, there had already been plans in motion, preparing to let Li Quanqing manage Baoying Island after his breakthrough in Foundation Establishment.

The only unforeseen event was that this fellow had advanced too quickly.

And silently, without anyone knowing, he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.

Surprising everyone.

"Also, according to family rules, all Qi Refining cultivators who break through can go to the Treasure Tower to select two Spirit Artifacts for protection."

The old clan chief, looking at the overjoyed young man, couldn’t help but smile, "Go, child, claim the rewards you deserve, and take pride in the name of the Green Jade Li Family!"

He patted the Fish Mirror in front of him, his mana infusing into it, "Array Spirit, where are you?"

Buzz!!

The void rippled and light gathered, forming in the pond a lotus the size of a millstone, its color a lush green-blue.

The lotus petals opened one by one, revealing the scene within—a three-foot-long green Panlong, coiled and entwining, its green jade-like scales converging like myriad tiny lotuses blooming on its body.

"Green Pan, inscribe Elder Quanqing’s mana and divine sense with True Spirit energy, open all family authority, permit movement in and out of formations, utilize the power of the great array to fend off enemies, and punish all family members."

Li Zongyao spoke up.

Chirp chirp!

The azure Panlong emitted faint cries, circling and flying up and down around the youth, its gaze somewhat confused.

Li Quanqing naturally would not refuse, casting his own mana seal and True Spirit breath, finally securing the authority over this great array.

Second only to the elders who preside over the array’s core.

"Go child, follow the Array Spirit, and accompany me to the battlefield after half a month."

After performing a junior’s salute, Li Quanqing then followed the Green Pan Array Spirit, flying through the air, arriving at the southern part of Qingyu Island in the Artifact Refining Hall.

Treasure Tower.

Seven or eight years ago, Li Quanqing had come here to claim the Green Carp Sword awarded to him by the Artifact Hall.

Before him stood a majestic iron tower, seventy-seven stories high, its body wrapped in iron chains and carved with myriad weaponry, exuding a grandiose and ancient aura.

The two blissful small buildings above the Whale Emperor Fang did not possess an aura like this, which broadcast a millennium-old family’s heritage in a grand and imposing manner.

Creak—

With a gentle touch of its foreclaw, the Array Spirit instantly activated the array that enveloped the entire Artifact Refining Tower, transforming it into a glowing portal.

Li Quanqing stepped in, floating a few inches off the ground, flying layer by layer, finally reaching the topmost level.

This was an area he had never visited before, now finally accessible.

Upon stepping onto the top of the tower, the first sensation was spaciousness, swiftly followed by a dense surge of spiritual energy that was astonishingly rich, with mist rolling in abundance.

Ting ting dang dang!

Li Quanqing looked at the various lotus stone platforms that still radiated glowing light; there were only thirty-seven platforms.

Each platform enshrined a Spirit Artifact, protected by arrays and nourished by spiritual energy, appearing spirited full of vigor.

"I have the Sea Suppressing Sword Embryo to attack enemies, the Snow Dust Heavenly Robe to restrain and lock down, the Water and Fire Ruyi to convert mana, and to summon protective spirits."

"I’m not lacking in low-grade Spirit Artifacts, so let’s choose ones of higher quality!"

Li Quanqing walked around this floor, ultimately first choosing a fist-sized large seal, its whole body a deep blue, seeming to embody the undulating vast sea.

Top-grade Spirit Artifact—Sea Covering Seal.

This was one of the two top-grade Spirit Artifacts in the tower, the second being called [Liangyi Heavenly Water and Fire Pillar], a Magical Treasure of the Array Dao, which didn’t suit him.

"This small seal is enough to last me until I reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!"

Li Quanqing thought happily, controlling the Array Spirit to unlock the formation, grasping the Sea Covering Seal with a chilly touch.

The first sensation was its heaviness, as if holding a piece of the vast ocean, and even with his physical strength, it was somewhat straining.

With this seal released, it could turn seas and rivers, heavy as mountains, capable of crushing any creature into a puddle of blood and mud.

In fact, there were several high-grade Spirit Swords on the lotus platform, but considering the large size of the Foundation Establishment Demon Clan, flying swords were not very suitable.

Thus, he ultimately chose this Sea Covering Seal.

"For the second Spirit Artifact, let’s choose this high-grade level Green Jade Armor!"

Li Quanqing was not shy about it; furthermore, within his family, the four Great Cultivators, including Li Kunli, had surely already chosen their favored items.

Holding the two Spirit Artifacts, Li Quanqing sat down on the spot, preparing to utilize the abundant spiritual energy here to refine them.
