Chapter 32 Gathering Spiritual Energy for Cultivation, The Wang Family Asks for Help
Black Stone Mountain, as dawn breaks.
The mountain mist had not yet dissipated, and a faint layer of spiritual glow already floated above the fifth acre of Spirit Gathering Field. The surrounding vegetation looked as if it had been washed by the morning dew, its colors bright and vibrant, and even the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Although the strange phenomenon last night was quickly covered up, the core members of the clan already know about it.
The Li family has acquired another valuable piece of land.
Moreover, it is even more precious than the previous four acres of spiritual land.
⸻
A new wooden sign has been erected at the entrance to the back mountain.
Four large characters are engraved on it:
Entry into the clan's territory is prohibited.
Two guards from the Battle Hall stood beside the wooden sign, their expressions serious, their swords drawn half an inch from their sheaths.
Li Yuanshan stood with his hands on his hips, surveying the scene with a serious expression.
"Stand up straight!"
"Make your eyes look fiercer!"
"This place is more important than the accounting office now!"
The two guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
This was the first time they had ever heard of a place more important than the accounting office.
⸻
Li Yuanlie walked over with his sword in his arms, glanced at the wooden sign, and sneered.
"What's the point of you doing all this?"
Li Yuanshan snorted coldly.
"Of course it's useful."
Do you even understand the concept of ritual?
Li Yuanlie thought about it.
"don't know."
"All I know is that I'll break the legs of anyone who dares to sneak in."
Li Yuanshan was speechless.
It seems... to be quite effective.
⸻
In the center of the Gathering Spirit Field.
Li Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.
The spiritual energy of the fourth level of Qi Refining slowly circulated, and the blue spiritual energy flowed through the meridians like a stream.
The surrounding spiritual energy continuously gathered and was absorbed and refined by him at a speed far exceeding that of usual.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, one can achieve the same effect as half a day of ordinary meditation.
Li Xuan opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.
"Truly astonishing."
If one cultivates at this pace, the time required to reach the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining will be greatly shortened.
The land provided by the system is not just a resource field.
It's more like the true "ancestral land" of a cultivation family.
⸻
The system panel appeared in my mind:
[Host's cultivation efficiency increased by 35%]
[Within the Spirit Gathering Field: Breakthrough stability improved]
[Tip: Multiple people taking turns training can accelerate the overall growth of the clan.]
Li Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.
He alone is not enough.
For the Li family to maintain its dominance over the Wang family, it must widen the overall gap between them.
The War Hall needs key personnel.
The clan needs a backbone.
Fathers also need to go a step further.
⸻
Before long, Li Tianheng arrived at the edge of the field.
Sensing the rich spiritual energy around him, his expression remained somewhat complicated.
Even though I saw it once last night, it still feels unbelievable to see it again today.
"If this place had existed ten years earlier..."
He sighed softly, without finishing his sentence.
If it had happened ten years earlier, he might have already reached more than the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The Li family wouldn't have been suppressed by the Wang family for so long.
Li Xuan stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"It's not too late now."
Li Tianheng looked at his son and suddenly smiled.
"Yes, it's not too late."
⸻
Li Xuan said directly:
"From today onwards, take turns cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Field."
"The first three."
"You, me, Chen He."
Li Tianheng was slightly taken aback.
"Chen He?"
Li Xuan nodded.
"The War Hall needs its first true backbone."
"He's ruthless enough, and steady enough."
Li Tianheng pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
You're better at judging people than I am.
⸻
Chen He was still somewhat dazed when he was summoned.
When he stepped into the area of the Spirit Gathering Field, he felt the spiritual energy gathering on its own, and he froze.
"Young clan leader...this place..."
Li Xuan said calmly:
"Sit down and cultivate."
Don't waste your time.
Chen He's Adam's apple bobbed, he nodded emphatically, and immediately sat down cross-legged.
His heart was churning.
He was originally just a wandering hunter's son.
Now, however, he is able to enter the core treasure land of the Li family to cultivate.
This trust and opportunity are more valuable than reward coins.
⸻
far away.
Li Yuanlie watched with envy.
"Young clan leader, what about me?"
Li Xuan glanced at him.
"You should practice your swordsmanship to perfection first."
"Come in again when you can stop cutting the stakes."
Li Yuanlie's eyes widened immediately.
"A cut means the knife was powerful!"
Li Yuanshan stood by, gloating.
That means you're reckless.
⸻
afternoon.
Training continues at Zhantang Square.
Li Yuanlie unleashed his fury on the guards, roaring even louder than the day before.
"Draw your gun!"
"Stop!"
"Anyone who runs around like that again will have to run ten laps around the mountain!"
The guards were in dire straits.
The sect leader was clearly in a bad mood because he couldn't enter the sacred ground to cultivate.
After Chen He returned from his training, his aura became much calmer, and his spear-wielding speed increased significantly.
Many of the guards stared with burning desire.
They all knew that the Li family now truly had a chance to turn their fortunes around.
As long as you work hard, there's always a way out.
⸻
at the same time.
The Wang family ancestral home.
The atmosphere inside the council chamber was oppressive.
Wang Tonghai sat in the main seat, his face even more somber than in the past few days.
Strange phenomena on the hill behind the Li family, expansion of the East Market, and rising morale among the clansmen...
Each message deepened his unease.
Finally, an elder spoke in a low voice:
"Master, we can't delay any longer."
"The Li family gets stronger with each passing day."
The other person gritted his teeth and said:
"If the county cannot contain the situation, we should ask the prefectural city for help."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.
Asking for help means admitting that the Wang family cannot resolve the Li family's problems on their own.
This is shameful.
But if we don't ask, the situation could get worse.
⸻
Wang Tonghai remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"please."
The single word uttered seemed to drain the last shred of dignity that the hall was clinging to.
The elders lowered their heads and remained silent.
They knew that the Wang family had been forced to seek outside help.
⸻
Soon, a secret letter was written.
Recipient:
Qingshan County, Xu Family.
The Xu family is related to the Wang family by marriage and is also a well-known cultivation family in the county.
It is said that there is a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the clan.
The Wang family often used the Xu family's name to intimidate outsiders.
Now, it's finally time to really ask for help.
⸻
Wang Tonghai stared at the envelope with a cold look in his eyes.
"Li Xuan".
"You think the Wang family will win?"
"You've messed with someone you can't afford to mess with."
⸻
evening.
Zhao Yuancheng hurriedly went up Black Stone Mountain, and as soon as he entered the side hall, he whispered:
"Young clan leader, the Wang family has sent people out of the city."
"Direction to the county town."
Li Xuan's eyes flashed.
"Request reinforcements?"
Zhao Yuancheng nodded, his expression solemn.
"Most likely."
"If we really invite the Xu family from the county town, things will be different."
Li Tianheng frowned.
The power of the county seat is far greater than that of the local families in Qingyun County.
Even just one late-stage Qi Refining Elder would be enough to change the situation.
⸻
Li Yuanshan's face turned pale upon hearing this.
"Then... what should we do?"
Li Yuanlie, however, became excited.
"better!"
"I'm tired of cutting down local crops."
Li Yuanshan almost vomited blood.
⸻
Li Xuan, however, remained surprisingly calm.
He slowly picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
"The fact that they're asking for help shows that the Wang family is really in a hurry."
"They only seek help from outsiders when they themselves lack confidence."
"This is not a bad thing."
Zhao Yuancheng was taken aback.
"Isn't this a bad thing?"
Li Xuan said calmly:
"If the foreign aid is delayed, the Wang family will become even more demoralized."
"If the foreign aid arrives—"
A slight smile played on his lips.
"They might not even be able to hold their ground."
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
Young clan leader, you've included even the people from the county city?
⸻
A system notification sounded in my mind:
[The enemy has introduced external forces]
[Family Main Storyline Upgrade: City View Unlocked]
[Current Luck: 321]
[New Mission Issued: Repel External Reinforcements and Secure Qingyun County]
[Reward Preview: Increased probability of a family genius emerging]
Li Xuan's eyes brightened slightly.
The situation has finally gotten bigger.
What he was waiting for was a much bigger picture.
As night deepened outside the window, the lights of Black Stone Mountain remained lit.
The conflict in Qingyun County is about to alarm the prefectural capital.
The real battle between cultivation families has only just begun.
