Chapter 73: Silver Iron Forest Demon King
Chapter 73: Silver Iron Forest Demon King
[For this grand sacrifice, would you like to bestow gifts upon your descendants?]
Li Wei didn't hesitate.
A pitch-black stone appeared in his hand.
This jade stone contained all the contents of the "Skyveil Secret Manual" that he had seen after unlocking the restriction on Li Yunlin's techniques!
He didn't learn the "Skyveil Secret Manual" from Li Yunlin because learning a Profound-grade technique would cost him no less than a hundred thousand Incense points. However, just copying it down didn't require any Incense points.
And this was his blessing this time.
Obtaining the "Skyveil Secret Manual" would elevate the Li family to a new level!
[You bestow the "Skyveil Secret Manual" upon your descendants!]
A moment later, The grand sacrifice concluded.
On the altar table in the ancestral hall, a jade stone appeared.
"Ancestor has bestowed a gift!"
Li Dalong saw the jade stone but wasn't filled with joy. Instead, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. He quickly said to his descendants, "Quick, bring the Heaven-Piercing Coffin of Death here and offer it as a sacrifice to Ancestor!"
"Please, Ancestor, you must accept it. Otherwise, it's always you who has been contributing to the family, while we, your descendants, haven't been able to offer anything that you would deem worthy. How can we, your unfilial descendants, bear this?"
"..."
Li Wei scratched his head. Although he was touched by his descendants' filial piety, The Heaven-Piercing Coffin of Death was really of no use to him. He didn't go out to fight, and while the Heaven-Piercing Coffin could be used for cultivation, it wasn't as good as directly spending Incense to copy techniques from his descendants.
As for the "Heaven-Piercing Coffin Corpse Control Technique," he could also copy that.
But if this kind of technique were used in reality...
He wouldn't dare to use it. If he dared to kill people and refine corpses, the National Crisis Management Agency would be knocking on his door.
"Hiss..."
After Li Wei typed into the Violet Tempest Python's profile picture, the Li family finally understood his intention. However, the Heaven-Piercing Coffin of Death was still placed in the ancestral hall. According to Li Dalong, the ancestral hall was the most important place, and the Heaven-Piercing Coffin would be kept there from now on.
Everyone quickly opened the jade stone.
"Father, it's a cultivation manual, the Skyveil Secret Manual!" Li Yaozu saw the twelve techniques and martial arts recorded within the jade stone, his eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Eleven Yellow-grade techniques, and even a Profound-grade one!"
"Skyveil Secret Manual?"
Li Yaowen said in surprise, "Yunlin went to the Skyveil Sect. I asked around and found out that the Skyveil Sect has servant disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and direct disciples. His master was an elder, and Yunlin was also an inner disciple. They indeed cultivate the Skyveil Secret Manual! But after their disciples cultivate the techniques, they all have restrictions placed on their souls. How did Ancestor obtain it?"
"I understand!"
Li Yaoqing's eyes lit up.
Xu Cuihua was taken aback, "What do you understand?"
"When Yunlin was about to leave for the Skyveil Sect, I wanted to break his legs, but Ancestor stopped me. It was also the Ancestor who supported Yunlin going to the Skyveil Sect!"
Li Yaoqing slapped her thigh, "So Ancestor had a plan all along! He deliberately sent Yunlin to the Skyveil Sect, with the purpose of obtaining their techniques and martial arts! Years ago, Ancestor had already laid out the plan to acquire the Skyveil Sect's techniques!"
"Hiss~"
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
Li Yaowen looked at Li Wei's memorial tablet with admiration, "As expected of Ancestor."
"..."
Watching his descendants gradually getting carried away with their wild imaginations, Li Wei was dumbfounded. After a while, he coughed and said, "These braggings are making my face red."
He quickly accelerated time, not daring to listen to his descendants' praises anymore. This was originally an unexpected joy, and it almost made him feel carried away.
[Year 40th]
This was a peaceful year. The Li family had basically dominated the entire Tailin Town, and they encountered no trouble at all.
Li Dalong and Li Yaozu spent most of their time in the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, cultivating their martial arts.
[Your descendants have opened shops selling various goods in the towns surrounding Tailin Town, and named them 'Harmony Hall'.]
As the family grew, Li Yaowen was no longer satisfied with the resources of Tailin Town.
The reason for opening shops was simply to expand the family's business channels. Many families did this, essentially establishing mutually beneficial trade relationships with other towns to develop their own families.
And the manager of each Harmony Hall was selected from Green Valley Village, someone with a good business sense and loyalty to the Li family.
[Year 41st, your descendant Li Yaotie emerged from seclusion, breaking through to the early Foundation Establishment stage!]
[His spiritual roots have undergone a transformation, shedding the Earth's spiritual root, leaving only the Metal, Fire, and Wood spiritual roots!]
Compared to the transformations of Li Dalong and Li Yaozu, Li Yaotie's breakthrough could only be considered ordinary.
Li Dalong emerged from seclusion with a four-foot aura, Li Yaozu's aura was as high as eight feet, while Li Yaotie's was only a mere two feet.
However, in Li Wei's view, this wasn't a big deal.
Li Yaotie was a blacksmith. Every time he gained insights from forging, he would have a breakthrough.
This was also one of the benefits brought by his profession.
And just two months after coming out of seclusion, Bai Rourou showed signs of pregnancy again...
[Your descendant Li Yaowen, while attending the 200th birthday celebration of the Wu family's ancestor in Lantier Town, received an invitation from the Wu family to join forces with a total of 7 major families from various towns to conquer the Silver Iron Forest.]
"A special event?"
Seeing the appearance of this special event, Li Wei frowned.
He still remembered that there was a Demon King residing in the Silver Iron Forest. The Li family had been developing the Silver Iron Forest before, but the Demon King inside clearly gave face to the Violet Tempest Python and only warned the Li family members to retreat.
If the Demon King didn't give face and directly attacked the Li family... Li Wei couldn't imagine how much disaster it would cause.
Therefore, in recent years, the Li family never ventured deep into the Silver Iron Forest again. They only occasionally hunted on the outskirts and always knew when to stop.
While Li Wei was pondering, He saw Bai Rourou had already arrived at the ancestral hall.
What surprised Li Wei was that Bai Rourou, this strong woman who hadn't even cried during childbirth, now had red eyes and a choked voice.
"Ancestor, I've run out of options, I can only think of you."
"I really don't want Old Pig to be killed..."
