Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

The look in his eyes toward Li Zhirui was no longer as sharp or uncomfortably piercing as before.

Of course, the most important thing was that through the records on the Memory Stone, they had confirmed that the entire Niu Family were indeed evil cultivators, and they provided places for rest and hiding for over a hundred evil cultivators.

Soon, the footage was all played through, and the Memory Stone was completely shattered—this was a Memory Stone carefully selected by Li Zhirui, leaving no opportunity for them to watch it repeatedly.

After all, this plan was somewhat rushed, and many parts of it had flaws that would not withstand scrutiny.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, then brothers, let's take action," Lei Tian said in a low, muffled voice. "This time, we must resolve all the evil cultivators!"

"Yes!" Over a dozen Elders stood up in response, their expressions solemn as they walked outside.

Li Zhirui, seeing this scene, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then realized that Shen Leishan had long been prepared, and it was only that they hadn't taken action yet.

After they left, only Li Zhirui, Lei Tian, and a few Elders remained in the great hall, "Sorry for the lack of hospitality."

"It's fine, it's fine, the matter at hand is what's important!" Li Zhirui waved his hands repeatedly; such words were just to be heard. If one truly took them seriously, they'd be a fool.

"Hmm," Lei Tian nodded in satisfaction. "The evidence you brought can reduce many obstacles for the Sect, and help us resolve the evil cultivators swiftly."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "I hear you're an Alchemist? Well then, you are permitted to go to the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion to select a Pill Recipe, and two Jade Slips!"

"Many thanks, Sect Leader Lei!" Li Zhirui immediately stood up to express his thanks, showing great excitement.

Lei Tian then gave him a Jade Slip, and had the Foundation Establishment disciple, who had led the way before, take him to the Scripture Pavilion.

"Senior, this is the Scripture Pavilion!" The disciple spoke with a tinge of disappointment, "I cannot go up to the third floor, so I can only wait outside for you."

Most of what was stored on the third floor were Third-order Methods, but Li Zhirui also saw a few precious and special Second-order Methods. However, compared to the Third-order Methods, these were insignificant.

So he quickly diverted his gaze, headed to the area where the Pill Recipes were placed, searched for a while, and then decided on the Purification Pill Recipe.

This was a very special Spirit Pill; after ingestion, it could cleanse the body of pill toxins and also had a certain healing effect.

The Li family currently did not lack Spirit Pill Prescriptions that increased Mana, and they also had matching Spiritual Medicines, so there was no need to choose such a recipe.

Unlike other Spirit Pills, as long as the Purification Pill could be concocted, the speed of cultivation using pill medication could be greatly increased.

Most importantly, the Li family had the main ingredient for the Purification Pill, so they did not need to go through the trouble of collecting Spiritual Medicines anymore.

"Interesting!" The Scripture Pavilion Elder, who had been paying attention to Li Zhirui's actions, muttered softly to himself.

After that, Li Zhirui went to other areas and finally hesitated between Formations, Talismans, and Divine Powers.

Why not choose a Cultivation Technique? Because here, there were only Cultivation Techniques that reached the Golden Core Realm, of the same level as the Wanling Sutra, and a large part were common techniques, with a big gap in quality.

If he could choose a Fourth-order Method, then Li Zhirui would choose a Cultivation Technique without hesitation, but now was not the time.

After some consideration, he finally determined which two Methods to choose: the "Tome of Third-order Arrays" and the offensive Divine Power "Burial of Ten Thousand Trees."

Compared to Talismans, Formations were obviously more difficult to come by, and "Burial of Ten Thousand Trees" was a Divine Power that both Li Zhirui and Li Shiqing could learn, thereby increasing their combat strength.

"Have you made your choices?" the Scripture Pavilion Elder asked in a low voice.

"Yes, thank you for your assistance."

Soon, the three Jade Slips were copied, and Li Zhirui's journey to Shen Leishan had also come to an end.

He said goodbye to Lei Tian and left Shen Leishan, for there were many evil cultivators on the Li family's territory that needed his prompt attention.

As Li Zhirui hurried on his way, Shen Leishan took action, dispatching nineteen teams led by Golden Core Elders with thirty Foundation Establishment and a hundred Qi Cultivation disciples each, striking at those minor forces.

In such a vast domain as Myriad Thunder State, there were no Golden Core vassals; it wasn't that none had ever emerged, but as soon as they appeared, they would be swiftly removed. Thus, there were only small forces, doing trivial tasks for Shen Leishan.

Of these nineteen minor forces, only three had not been corrupted or controlled by evil cultivators—and even that was a matter of not yet having had the chance to.

The thunderous methods of Shen Leishan instilled fear in countless cultivators, who dared not travel, lest a Spirit Thunder suddenly strike them down.

However, the results were quite significant: A great number of evil cultivators were killed or driven away, and Myriad Thunder State was gradually becoming purified, with cultivators starting to move about again.

—

"Damn it!"

The leading brother among the demon cultivators, Lu, growled furiously, "What the hell is going on? How did Shen Leishan suddenly find the hiding places of the evil cultivators?"

Shen Leishan's movements were too fast, and they targeted nineteen forces' mountain gates simultaneously, giving no time for any response!

By the time they became aware, the thousands of evil cultivators they had painstakingly cultivated were all destroyed.

They didn't feel sad about it but were instead overwhelmed by a mix of anger and fear because the blood and flesh gathered by those evil cultivators had not yet been handed over to them!

"What should we do now?" the Great Elder asked in panic.

He had been lurking in Myriad Thunder State for many years, working diligently, and he was about to see the dawn of victory. At that point, he would return to the Sect, and his status would be even further elevated; instead, he encountered this disaster!

Now, not only was his advancement in jeopardy, but his very life hung in the balance!

If they failed to collect enough blood and flesh to rejuvenate the physical body of the Nascent Soul old devil from the Sect, they themselves would become his food!

"Notify the evil cultivators outside of Myriad Thunder State to immediately start gathering blood and flesh!" Lu brother sighed helplessly. "We must salvage what we can now."

"But before that," Lu brother's expression suddenly darkened, and his voice was low, "there is something I need you, junior brother, to do."

The Great Elder sensed something wrong and started channeling his mana, ready to deploy his Life-bound Magic Treasure at any monent.

"I need you, junior brother, to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu brother moved suddenly, appearing in front of the Great Elder in an instant, and stabbed a black, blood-steeped dagger into his heart.

Even though the Great Elder activated his Magical Treasure immediately, it still couldn't withstand the attack from the dagger that could break through magical defenses.

"Why?!" The Great Elder asked with unwillingness in his eyes.

"Because you are in my way!" If he successfully returned to the Sect, he would become an Elder in one fell swoop.

And Lu brother, he too wanted to become an Elder holding real power!
