Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 189: Chapter 124: Family Feast and Breakthrough!_2

Zhuang Guxue was also brimming with confidence, and her beautiful eyes shone as she looked at Lu Li.

This statement made several people around them laugh.

The prospect of becoming a Golden Core Venerable was something everyone dared not even hope for.

There were not many in the entire outer sea, each one a domineering existence in their own right.

As for the legendary Nascent Soul Experts, they were as elusive as a dragon seen in head but not in tail.

It was said that the Nascent Soul was already a Demi Immortal being. That group of Earth Immortals could easily live for tens of thousands of years, with overwhelming power, roaming many small worlds, seldom meddling with mundane matters.

Just as everyone was looking forward to the future, the Spirit Rice was fully ripe.

The rich and refreshing fragrance wafted in all directions.

Zhuang Guxue stood up and distributed the Spirit Rice and spirit fish among the group.

Everyone then started to eat heartily.

Lu Li swallowed a mouthful of Spirit Rice, the fragrance lingering in his mouth, and a warm current surged in his belly.

The others also showed faces of enjoyment.

“This top-grade Spirit Rice is truly extraordinary, it would be perfect if we could eat this every day,” Lu Yuting said with a smile.

Lu Li smiled. The yield of Spirit Rice was not high, but after becoming the Purple Mansion Family, it was indeed worth trying to increase the scale.

Everyone was very satisfied with the family banquet.

After several more hours of conversation, as the evening approached, Lu Li and his companion stood up to leave.

Upon exiting the courtyard, Lu Li went straight to the Household Affairs Hall to collect the spiritual ore, then activated his Divine Power Technique, transforming into a stream of blue tunneling light, rapidly flying towards the distant sea surface.

Waves of sea fog were rolling.

In just a few breaths, he disappeared from Zhuang Guxue’s sight.

……

In the central open space of the sea floor cave dwelling,

Lu Li released the Iron Pillar, and then immediately started to stimulate the Demon Beast Refining Pot.

“Clang…”

The Demon Beast Refining Pot grew to several zhang tall, standing firmly on the open ground.

The Runes on its surface flickered, and the surrounding light circulated, becoming increasingly mystical.

He poured out a large quantity of Five Elements Spirit Ore from his Storage Bag, covering the ground several zhang around him.

The ground was instantly colorful and even the Spiritual Energy became chaotic.

Most of these spirit ores were exchanged with contribution points from the Flowers Sect; others were from his family and collected from Sea Floor Demon Beasts.

Lu Li tossed all the spiritual ore into the Demon Beast Refining Pot.

“Hum…”

As the Runes were gently stimulated,

the Demon Beast Refining Pot began to emit a faint glow.

A large amount of spiritual ore inside the pot quickly started to dissolve into groups of grayish streams, floating within it.

He leapt forcefully towards the Demon Beast Refining Pot and landed steadily at the bottom of the pot.

He then started to fully operate the Taiyin Refining Diagram.

“Hum…”

Above his head, a vast amount of Moonlight mingled with Star Power quickly fell, gathering above him.

The surrounding gray streams also whirled fiercely, forming a small cyclone.

Before long, the gray streams and the Moonlight and Starlight Power formed a giant cocoon, enveloping Lu Li firmly within.

Lu Li’s expression was solemn as he fully charged the third Divine Map.

After this period of arduous cultivation, the second Divine Map had reached its bottleneck.

With a vast amount of resources, the Taiyin Refining Diagram had no limits!

“Break!”

Lu Li roared in his heart as endless Divine Power boiled within him.

All matter within his body trembled, and the Soul Lotus also shone brightly.

Outside, a massive amount of Moonlight surged into his body, with strands of gray stream spreading throughout his Divine Body.

As time passed, he felt his Divine Power rapidly strengthening, seemingly without end.

“Rumble…”

After an indeterminate period,

sounds like the striking of timely drums and bells rang in Lu Li’s ears, his internal Divine Power surged greatly, the boundless Divine Power flowing like an ocean through his limbs and bones, as if nurturing something.

“Finally, the breakthrough is successful,” he opened his eyes, a face filled with joy.

Sensing the infinite Divine Power rising within him, it had increased by more than double from the past days.

If he encountered You Mingzi now with his current strength, he could definitely crush him outright.

At this moment, he finally stood at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Through ancient times to the present, countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he, Lu Li, feared no one!

This was the confidence brought by the Innate Dao fetus.

A terrifying existence comparable to the young bodies of ancient Demon Gods.

As for the fourth Divine Map of the Innate Dao fetus, that would be the last realm before creating a world.

Already easily on par with the early-stage Purple Mansion.

Lu Li lightly leapt out of the pot and landed on the open ground.

He took out a top-grade Flying Sword and fiercely slashed at his arms.

“Clang…”

Sparks flew everywhere, but his arms were completely unharmed.

Not even a hint of pain came through, which was astonishing.

“It seems that my physical body has thoroughly become on par with a top-grade Magic Artifact,” Lu Li stated, satisfied after the test.

The Body of the Sacred Flesh inherent to the Taiyin Refining Diagram was already quite powerful.

Unaware of the extent of the formidable might these top-tier physical divine abilities possessed,

Lu Li pondered as the Spirit Monkey Ancestor within the Storage Bag slowly awoke.

“Your breakthrough speed is indeed rapid, succeeding in advancing through two stages in just a few short years.”

“It seems that this cultivation technique is highly compatible with you.”

Lu Li smiled, “Ancestor, do you have any divine abilities that cultivate the physical body?”

“I do not. Divine abilities for the physical body are exceedingly rare and are considered top-tier entities among the major Sects of the higher realms.”

“Rumors tell of the Taoist Guardian’s divine might and the Eight-Nine Profound Technique’s incredible power, boasting an invincible body and the ability to undergo myriad transformations, undetectable by all but the most powerful…”

The Spirit Monkey spoke in a hushed, serene tone.

“Should you have the opportunity to leave this realm in the future, make sure to find a chance to learn this divine ability.”

“The Taoist Sect?”

Lu Li’s expression shifted subtly.

“Indeed, the Aura Techniques cultivated by the cultivators of this realm were all created by a Taoist Ancestor, hence they are affiliated with the Taoist Sect.”

The Spirit Monkey maintained a neutral expression.

Lu Li nodded, taking note of this, and then packed away the demon-refining vessel.

In the tens of days that followed, he sat in meditation, consolidating his cultivation.

His Divine Power and soul steadily grew each day until they gradually stabilized.

He exited the secret chamber and approached the edge of the array.

He packed away the spirit beast, still sound asleep, and then made his way outside the cave.

Once out of the cave, he immediately activated his Divine Power Technique.

Surrounded by a blue glow that moved with water, he was as swift as lightning.

In a few breaths, he had vanished from the Spirit Turtle basin.

……

Mystic Moon Island, at the foot of the mountain cave.

A handsome young man crossed over towering mountains and landed steadily in the clearing.

Lu Li opened the array and slowly walked in.

“Has my husband successfully broken through?”

Zhuang Guxue rushed towards Lu Li as she saw him, her face alight with joy.

Feeling her warmth in his embrace, Lu Li smiled slightly.

“Tomorrow, my wife, I shall accompany you on your journey, as I have nothing else pressing.”

Zhuang Guxue’s face beamed with gratitude.

“Thank you, my husband. My family hails from a declining Foundation Establishment Family; we only had Qi Refinement cultivators left, but now, with my husband’s help, I’ve succeeded in my Foundation Establishment…”

Lu Li nodded with a smile, recalling when she gifted him with the array, suspecting she might have an extraordinary background.

It was unexpected that a small Qi Refinement family could nurture an Array Master.

“It seems Xue Er has talent; without a distinguished mentor, you’ve managed to break through to a second-stage Array Master.”

Zhuang Guxue blushed at her husband’s praise, modest and slightly embarrassed.

“My talents are far inferior to those of my husband.”

“Let’s set off today; if suitable, I’ll arrange for your family to settle near Mystic Moon Island, and I will organize a top-grade first-order Spirit Vein for them.”

Lu Li replied with a light smile.

“Mm…”

Zhuang Guxue nodded solemnly and obediently.

She then took out a map and informed Lu Li of the location.

Subsequently, the couple walked towards the exit of the cave.

After leaving the cave, Lu Li swept her into his arms, leapt up, and shot into the Celestial Abyss, rapidly flying forwards.

The ferocious Gang Wind roared past, and endless sea mist tumbled around them.

With his Divine Power at work, Lu Li’s speed was astoundingly fast.

Even carrying someone, they vanished near Mystic Moon Island in just a few breaths.

……

Giant Spirit Island.

As a small island over a thousand miles away from Mystic Moon Island, it featured only one top-grade first-order Spirit Vein, and its Spiritual Energy was average at best. The island was guarded by a small Zhuang family of Qi Refinement cultivators.

The family only had a little over thirty Qi Refinement cultivators, including three at full-circle Qi Refinement, counting the Clan Leader.

At that moment, inside the family hall,

Two elders sat on chairs on both sides of the hall, their expressions filled with anxiety.

One, with white hair and beard, dressed in a blue robe, bore a resemblance to Zhuang Guxue, and had reached Qi Refinement full-circle.

The other elder in a white robe also had a cultivation at the full-circle of Qi Refinement.

“Brother, have you had any success contacting your niece? It’s said that Xue Er has become a concubine for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator…”

The white-robed elder expressed dissatisfaction.

It was rare for the family to raise an Array Master, only to find her missing.

A Daoist couple would be acceptable, but the status of a concubine was too low, likely offering little help in their current dilemma.

“Sigh… Xue Er has made up her mind, and there’s nothing I can do. However, she has been keeping in touch regularly these days, and that Foundation Establishment Expert treats her well.”

Zhuang Lintian tried to smile, but his expression was downcast.

“With the Yong Family’s actions this time, I fear we’ll find it difficult to comply.”

Zhuang Yaotian also showed indignation.

“Ten portions of second-tier spirit wood per family—that’s simply too much.”

“Big brother, you should still ask Xue Er if there’s any way she can think of.”

Zhuang Lintian nodded, his face clouded with gloom.

“Then I’ll try contacting her again.”
