Chapter 466: Chapter 298 Stability
Stability
He let out a sigh, mixed with myriad emotions.
Parents, brothers, and others came in, taking deep breaths of excitement.
These days felt like a dream to them, so miraculous.
"This is our home. Now, don’t just stand there. Cut down trees to build wooden houses. If you don’t want to sleep outdoors tonight, then hurry up." The old man was over a hundred years old, hadn’t broken through to the Innate level, and didn’t have many years left to live.
But at this moment, he still spoke with vigor and was full of hope for the future, as if he had suddenly become decades younger.
There was a sense of a final, bright flash, a feeling that it was worth dying for.
The others left, and arrangements began swiftly and busily.
Zhao Wushuang slowly came back to his senses. He knew that it wasn’t realistic to cultivate with all his might here, as the Spiritual Qi needed to grow Spirit Rice and such.
If he absorbed Spiritual Qi with all his power, although satisfied himself, there wouldn’t be enough left to construct Spirit Fields and such.
"My life is yours, but you must not involve my family." After everyone else had left, Li Wushuang finally spoke with a complex expression.
He insisted that his parents live in the wooden house; they were ordinary people and couldn’t absorb much Spiritual Qi. At least here, they could live a few more years.
Moreover, their old ailments could be alleviated.
As for the others, it was no use, no matter how envious their eyes looked.
These benefits, the costs of purchasing for the village, and so on, Small Knife didn’t provide to Li Wushuang for free. That’s just his stingy nature, but the interest was very low.
Moreover, if Li Wushuang were to die, his descendants wouldn’t have to repay the debt on his behalf.
This was indeed a great favor and virtue.
Therefore, Li Wushuang was willing to risk his life, regardless of the reason.
"Bang!"
"Your strength is too weak. Enhance your power first." Small Knife spoke.
Li Wushuang was stunned, his eyes wet with emotion.
Because on the table was a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This wooden house had already gathered quite a bit of Spiritual Qi, almost enough for a year.
Small Knife took out some Spirit Stones as well.
Sufficient for Li Wushuang’s Foundation Establishment needs.
Of course, none of these were free; they were on a credit basis and carried interest.
But this interest was naturally not high.
And there were no additional conditions attached.
"What virtue or ability do I have, to receive recognition from Great Power?" Li Wushuang mumbled to himself, vowing in his heart to repay the favor for life.
In folk tales, there are many stories of Grandpa Rings, Grandpa Stones, and the like.
Now there was another Bone Grandpa, and he was not surprised by it.
Given enough benefits, even if it meant being possessed, it was worth it.
Demon Dao and such were naturally not an issue.
Everything proceeded incredibly smoothly, in the dense Spiritual Qi environment, with a large amount of Spirit Stones and a Foundation Establishment Pill, Li Wushuang entered the Foundation Establishment Stage without any suspense. The Li Family now counted as a micro-Cultivation Clan, even though he was the only cultivator with a Spirit Root.
They selected potential children from the family, although they had no Spirit Roots, they could practice martial arts and be equipped with some resources to be nurtured as Innate Martial Artists.
As long as they were willing to work hard, reaching the Postnatal Limit wasn’t an issue; with poor aptitude, a Spirit Awakening Pill could suffice, whether entering the Innate level or Qi Cultivation wasn’t a problem.
In the past, the Li Family couldn’t afford this, but now with the village as a foundation, it wasn’t an issue.
Having become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the village’s Spirit Gathering Array attracted Spiritual Qi from a hundred miles, which wasn’t enough for his cultivation needs.
Of course, that was when cultivating at full capacity.
Li Wushuang had never been so indulgent.
He was accustomed to cultivating slowly in a meager Spiritual Qi environment and was reluctant to consume this Spiritual Qi.
Upon arrival, Spirit Soil, Spirit Separation Array, Spirit Gathering Water Tank, and the like were also purchased.
When he successfully reached Foundation Establishment,
Li Family Village already had a row of wooden houses and a mostly constructed fence.
Most importantly, an acre of Spirit Field had already been cultivated.
The Array and such had been laid out, and the Spirit Soil scattered.
However, it was just a Quasi-Spirit Field for now; in the Water Blue Star Mini World, it was Heavenly Level, requiring Spiritual Qi nourishment to reach the First Realm.
Don’t be deceived by these commoners; although they were the lowest tier, they had no worries about basic necessities. In their spare time, they all practiced martial arts and had power around Level 50.
Moreover, the old folks were already familiar with Spirit Fields.
Now with the village’s foundation, they’re bound to develop into a small family, barring unexpected events.
Thus, they were all full of vigor and vitality.
"Who’s there?"
Stop now.
Cultivator?
...!
"Family Head! Something’s wrong."
A voice full of panic rang out.
When Li Wushuang came out, quite a few of his family members were knocked down, but none were seriously injured, clearly showing restraint.
The intruder wore an expression of arrogance.
After all, these three were cultivators, the leader reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection, and the other two at Qi Cultivation Advanced.
"Our brothers have been tight on resources recently, one thousand Spirit Stones! The more friends, the more paths." The leading elder at Qi Cultivation Perfection laughed heartily.
This price could still be negotiated, and after they succeeded, they would leave and not return.
They chose their target after careful observation.
They wouldn’t choose a place with background support, occupying a lone village like this.
There wasn’t even one Innate Martial Artist besides the village chief.
"Haha!" Li Wushuang chuckled coldly, releasing his aura.
"Foundation Establishment?" The three cultivators were shocked, their legs went weak.
Instantly, they knelt down in a hurry to apologize.
At that moment, any pride or face was less important than their lives.
They quickly gathered over three hundred Spirit Stones to offer.
They wanted to give more, but they didn’t have it.
"Scram! Don’t let me see you again." Li Wushuang sneered.
"Where there are people, there’s a Jianghu." Observing all this, Small Knife sighed emotionally.
He directly spoke.
This made Li Wushuang pause for a moment and said, "Stop!"
The three who had just breathed a sigh of relief shivered and pleaded bitterly on their knees.
