Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 361 - 367: Hatching

```

Given that both individuals were no longer young, and had already begun their cultivation, they needed a separate and quiet space, as well as a private area for the couple, Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu. Hence, Li Zhirui specially created two meditation rooms for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo to move into.

They actually wanted to move out, but Jiang Fengwu disagreed, providing a powerful reason: the spiritual energy outside was not as dense as in their own cave dwelling, which would slow down their cultivation progress and thus hinder their practice!

It is known, the cave dwelling of Li Zhirui is the core Spirit Cave of this third-order Spirit Vein, also referred to as the Spiritual Eye. Even the cave dwelling of Li Shiqing, in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy, could not compare to this one.

"You should focus on cultivating," Li Zhirui said with a smile. "Strive to make a breakthrough early. Whoever among you breaks through to the second level of the Qi Cultivation Realm first will receive a small gift!"

"Of course, you can't just break through for the sake of breaking through. You must solidify your foundation and pass my assessment to achieve results."

It must be said, their talents near that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root were terrifying. While others were still struggling at the first level of the Qi Cultivation Realm, the siblings had already surpassed them.

But this rate of cultivation was too fast! It did not match what was known about their talents externally. To protect them, Li Zhirui had initially propagated that they had good Three Spiritual Roots and due to a higher purity of their Spiritual Roots, they could barely be compared to those with dual spiritual roots.

However, the speed of their cultivation now didn't resemble someone who could barely compare to dual spiritual roots. If this continued, it might be spread by some clansmen with ulterior motives.

Refining mana not only could slow down their rate of cultivation but also offered significant benefits for their future practice.

"Alright, I'll work hard!" Li Chengshuo glanced at Li Chengsheng and firmly stated, "Brother, I advise you to admit defeat early, otherwise, you'll lose to your little sister!"

"Is that so?" Li Chengsheng didn't say much, just exuded a confident air, as if the reward was undoubtedly his.

"Hmph!" Li Chengshuo scoffed. "Once the results are out, just bow your head and admit defeat."

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu watched the two taking jabs at each other with amusement but didn't intervene, letting them compete. The sense of urgency from competition is what drives better motivation, and besides, this rivalry hadn't harmed the siblings' bond.

The days that followed seemed to speed up.

Li Chengsheng was incredibly busy, and most of the time, he was not in the cave dwelling. He sought out Li Shilian's guidance on how to incubate and cultivate the Chaoyang Crow. He spent the remaining time cultivating to ensure he did not fall too far behind Li Chengshuo.

Li Chengshuo, faced with such an excellent opportunity, certainly did not miss out, cultivating even more diligently to ensure she could surpass her elder brother.

Months later, the siblings entered the meditation rooms one after the other, embarking on their journey of breakthrough.

The breakthrough within the Qi Cultivation Realm was no problem at all for them, as simple as eating and drinking. It was just a matter of their performance being verified by Li Zhirui to determine their ranking.

"In this competition, Li Chengshuo was slightly better,"

"I've said before that the winner would receive a little surprise, and now, it's time for the surprise to be revealed!" With that said, Li Zhirui took out a jade bottle containing ten nearly toxicity-free Jade Spirit Pills with Pill Patterns!

"I hope you practice well, Shuo. But don't cultivate too quickly," he said.

While Jiang Fengwu was whispering to her daughter, Li Chengshuo, Li Zhirui approached Li Chengsheng and softly asked, "Do you know why you lost?"

"I know," Li Chengsheng was crystal clear about it in his heart.

Li Zhirui knew his eldest son's disposition and continued to say, "As cultivators, cultivation is the fundamental, all else, material possessions, can be forsaken,"

"The Chaoyang Crow, as well as any future Contracted Spirit Beasts you might have, you can devote a lot of time and effort to them, but you must not let this hinder your own cultivation." The boy was smart, now was the time to give him some warnings, which he would remember.

"Do you understand?" Li Zhirui leaned down slightly, looking at Li Chengshuo straight on, and asked.

"I understand, Dad. Rest assured, it won't happen again."

Li Zhirui nodded in satisfaction.

After a few more days, the Chaoyang Crow that Li Chengsheng had cared for so meticulously finally began to hatch!

On that day, Li Zhirui, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengshuo, and Li Shilian, who had hurried over after hearing the news, all watched from a distance, not daring to get too close, lest they be imprinted upon by the fledgling at first sight.

As time passed, the sounds of the Chaoyang Crow breaking out of its shell grew louder, indicating that all six Spirit Beast Eggs were robust, with none being dead or rotten. This was a cause for moderate celebration and an auspicious start.

"Zhirui, do you think there might be a Chaoyang Crow among these six Spirit Beast Eggs with ancestral bloodline awakening?" Li Shilian asked with expectation brimming in his voice.

If there was one from the start, the family would gain a more powerful Spirit Beast Clan, and it would also save him a lot of time, manpower, material resources, financial resources, and so on, in all aspects.

"I can't be sure, but I hope so." Even for something like this, Li Zhirui couldn't say for certain.

About half an hour later, all six Chaoyang Crows were born!

Because they were quite far away, Li Zhirui and the others couldn't see clearly, but as they approached a little, they saw the astonishment and joy on Li Chengsheng's young face.

"Could it be..." Li Shilian immediately thought of something and asked urgently, "Sheng, within those six Chaoyang Crows, is there one with an ancestral bloodline awakening?"

"Indeed!" Li Chengsheng's usually calm and cool tone was now taken over by joy and excitement, "And it seems that the little one's awakened bloodline is not low!"

When everyone looked where he was pointing, they saw one that was larger than the other Chaoyang Crows, with bright, spirited eyes. Although it had no feathers yet, the golden downy fluff was shinier than that of a common Chaoyang Crow!

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Li Shilian was overjoyed, repeatedly praising the sight.

Li Zhirui and the others were also very pleased and said, "Sheng, make a contract with this Chaoyang Crow for your first Spirit Beast."

"Mhm." Li Chengsheng naturally wouldn't refuse such an offer and immediately bent down to pick it up, ready to go back to the meditation chamber to sign the contract.

As for the remaining five Chaoyang Crows, he eventually decided to hand them over to the family for rearing, so that the family could cultivate and develop a clan.

Li Chengsheng admitted that he had been too naive before, not considering whether he had enough time or energy, especially now when he was in a phase of rapid development. He should spend more time on cultivation rather than indulging his interests.

Another point he hadn't considered was whether, with his own wealth, he could afford to raise six Chaoyang Crows!
