From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 196 - 191: Earth Spirit Root

Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?

Li Quanqing looked at Li Kunlun, his gaze suddenly filled with surprise. Such a cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

One must know that each breakthrough within the Foundation Establishment Realm often required decades of accumulation and settling.

Even many Foundation Establishment cultivators would be hampered by bottlenecks, finding it difficult to make any progress, with each step forward being tremendously hard.

But the pace at which Li Kunlun was cultivating was simply too fast, astonishingly so, almost feeling like he was cheating even more than himself.

It seemed as if sensing his confusion and gaze, Li Kunlun spoke with a smile, "Quanqing probably doesn’t know yet, but in fact, I am not a High Grade Thunder Spirit Root, but rather an Earth Spirit Root."

"Just that for the sake of my own safety, the family concealed this information, and it has not spread outside, almost no one knows."

Earth Spirit Root!

A cultivator genius second only to the Heavenly Spirit Root, fully deserving of being called a Golden Core Seed, with a very high probability of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

No wonder!

Li Quanqing instantly had an epiphany, recalling Li Kunlun’s previous cultivation speed. Suddenly, everything made sense.

"What a pity, with Kunlun’s talent, he originally had the chance to join a sect for cultivation, but instead chose to stay for the family."

"Now we have a Third Rank Spirit Vein, which is the foundation of a Golden Core Family, and also two Golden Core Seeds, but we must absolutely not follow in the footsteps of the Situ Family..."

The Old Clan Chief rambled on for quite some time.

Golden Core Family, this was the aspiration of everyone in the Green Jade Li Family for a thousand years.

And now the appearance of two Golden Core Seeds was truly a joyous occasion.

Everyone collected the remains of the Whale Emperor Sect Master and left together, leaving only Li Kunlun alone in the Secret Realm, cultivating with the help of Spiritual Liquid.

He meditated tranquilly, sitting cross-legged in the void, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Essence that had been accumulating for a thousand years.

"What a pity, the ’Purple Thunder Technique’ that Kunlun practices only includes the Foundation Establishment Chapter. Once he reaches Core Formation, the first step will be held up, he will have to find a Thunder Attribute Third Rank Cultivation Technique afterwards."

Li Zongyao walked and sighed softly, looking around, "This Secret Realm could later be used to cultivate various Spiritual Beasts, to provide for our clansmen to form contracts."

Although the Li Family was transforming into a Beast Taming Family, its previous foundation was shallow, and it did not have many Spiritual Beast cubs.

With the emergence of this Secret Realm, it could be perfectly used as a Spiritual Beast Garden, especially since it was abundant in Spiritual Energy.

As Li Kunlun went into seclusion, all of a sudden only Li Quanqing was left at Jade Dragon Pond.

The Old Clan Chief stayed at the Ten Thousand Fish Pond, whereas Li Kunli returned to the Artifact Refining Hall to study the Second-tier top-grade Artifact Refining Technique "Golden Scale Heavenly Dragon Slash."

"Mu Mu!"

Two Green Horned Fish Dragons dived and surfaced in the deep pond water, the Flood Dragon performed its dance, calling wind and summoning rain, as if recreating a scene from a myth.

Over ten thousand Green Jade Carps closely followed, along with even larger numbers of Big Green Fish, chasing after Dragon Qi, their scale armors forming a shimmery display.

[You have obtained a Qi Refinement Early Stage Green Jade Carp, rewarded with a small Spiritual Energy Group!]

[You have obtained a Qi Refinement Early Stage Green Jade Carp, rewarded with a Middle Grade Magic Artifact Green Carp Sword!]

Li Quanqing stepped on a lotus flower, moving through the fish pond.

Influenced by the Third Rank Spirit Veins, many Green Jade Carps were entering the Qi Refining Realm, with Light Groups above their heads, wisps of Demon Energy blooming between their scales.

With a wave of his sleeve, fish food sprinkled out, emitting a slightly sour stench that was very appetizing to the smell.

Even the Green Jade Carps in Jade Dragon Pond were attracted, opening their mouths and blowing bubbles, looking eagerly at him across the Array. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Moved by the sight, Li Quanqing decided to feed them all.

In the future, he could find some young Golden Pattern Green Jade Carps from Jade Dragon Pond. Feeding them two or three times every few days, he should also be able to unlock Light Group rewards.

[You have obtained a Qi Refining Middle Stage Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp, rewarded with 1 drop of Heavenly One Spirit Liquid!]

Li Quanqing was astonished in his heart, not expecting such a reward again.

"Well done!"

He touched the Golden Pattern Jade Carp, fed it some Demon Beast Meat bait, and then sat down cross-legged by the levee.

He crushed the Light Group, and immediately saw a drop of azure liquid, sealed within the crystal, shining brilliantly.

A familiar attraction came forth, as if it held a fatal attraction to the Mana within his Dantian.

"Roar—"

Ripples appeared on the water surface, as the Longevity Turtle poked its large head out of the water, its gaze equally desirous, as if a wonderful fragrance emanated from the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid.

Unconsciously, a dense array of heads emerged on the water surface, every fish was attracted by the fragrance of the Spiritual Liquid, even the Canghai Whale was looking over in this direction.

"I can’t give this to you; I need to refine and see this drop myself."

Li Quanqing patted the turtle’s head and casually set up an Array; mist surged, enveloping his surroundings, making it difficult to peek through.

He shattered the sealing crystal, and instantly that attraction grew even more intense; the Mana inside his body circulated ceaselessly, directly enveloping the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid.

Whoosh!

The moment the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid entered his meridians, Li Quanqing felt as if he had seen an endless ocean, with roaring and surging waves echoing in his ears.

This was his first time cultivating on the Third Rank Spirit Veins, with the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill moving incessantly, a strong attraction emanated from within his body.

Spiritual Energy rolled in, Essence Qi surged from all around, submerging him entirely, with mists flocking towards him.

This Spiritual Energy was too dense; the white fog seemed almost suffocating, and his Cultivation Technique operated to its utmost limit.

Within the Dantian, the azure Liquid Magic Power surged like waves in a serene pond.

The Heavenly One Spirit Liquid dissolved, mixed with nature’s spiritual energy refined by the Cultivation Technique, the rich Water Element Essence Qi was transformed and purified, eventually turning into a drop of deep, ocean-like Liquid Magic Power.

Drip!

Mana flowed along his meridians, travelling throughout his body, finally dropping into the center of his Dantian, becoming a part of the Mana lake with an extremely viscous quality.

Li Quanqing’s body, swirling with blue luminescence, slowly converged, his skin became translucent, and he appeared otherworldly, as the "River"-shaped Rune on his forehead slowly disappeared.

He opened his eyes, shooting two beams of light from them, the powerful aura that engulfed his body gradually receded, and his billowing robe rustled.

"One drop of Spiritual Liquid can nearly be transformed into 1.2 drops of Liquid Magic Power."

Li Quanqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, many feelings of joy arising in his heart.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator with two hundred-plus years, often would need five to six months to refine Essence Qi and cultivate a drop of Mana.

Even then, it was possible to encounter bottlenecks, struggling at every step.

"Now, I have 168 drops of Liquid Magic Power, and I’m close to making a breakthrough."

Li Quanqing examined his inner body, observing the azure Mana lake within his Dantian, like a transparent blue crystal, its color profound.

He sensed his own limit at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage should be around 200 drops, and by normal cultivation, it would require a full twenty years.

Plus, refining the bottleneck and nurturing his Lifebound Magical Treasure, it would take a full thirty years to break through to the later Phase.

After all, he only had a Middle Grade Spirit Root; his talent was not considered strong, quite incomparable to Li Kunlun’s Earth Spirit Root, it’s like the difference between heaven and earth.

Even Li Kunli was stronger than him.

"So, I still need that bit of edge."

Li Quanqing looked at the densely packed, leisurely swimming Green Jade Carps in the pond, and a strong sense of satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart.

...

Half a year later, Artifact Refining Hall.

Rarely, Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun were at the Artifact Hall at the same time, followed by a team of family Artifact Refiners, all with solemn expressions.

"Quanqing, are you ready? That is a Second-tier top-grade spiritual tool..."

Li Kunli also wore a serious expression, looking at the young man in the green Taoist robe ahead, and felt quite a few emotions surge within his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the young fisherman from those years had grown to this extent, even surpassing him.
