From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal Chapter 116: Zhou Caimei
"Zhou Caii, your family na isn’t Li!"
Li Quanmo clicked his tongue in disappointnt, feeling a deep regret.
Li Quanqing looked at the panicked and flustered young girl below, only to see a water-blue aura converge above her forehead into a six-inch-long Spirit Light.
The light was soft and dazzling.
"First, let’s guide her up."
Li Quanqing spoke, his fingers forming a Dharma Seal, and imdiately a stream of rosy clouds fell from the Ascension Bridge, gently carrying Zhou Caii up in front of him.
"Ascension, soone is ascending!"
"I know her, she’s the daughter of a pearl diver family on Cangyue Island. Truly, her ancestors have blessed her with great fortune!"
"What a pity, such a sha, our Fang Family all have Low-grade Spiritual Roots, yet an outsider is taking advantage of the benefits."
On the ground, the crowd was in disarray, all caught up in their thoughts and emotions.
When Zhou Caii’s feet touched the jade bridge, her head was still spinning, and she felt sowhat bewildered upon seeing the two Immortals shrouded in an aura of light in front of her.
"Caii, aren’t you going to pay your respects to the two Immortal Masters of the Li Family?"
Fang Family Clan Leader spoke up at the right mont, his smile warm as he suggested.
"Caii... has t the two Immortal Masters..."
The little girl spoke timidly, her underdeveloped body was small due to a poor family situation, but her eyes were both large and bright.
"Young girl, you are intelligent and have a top-grade Spiritual Root. Would you be willing to join the Green Jade Li Family and cultivate the Immortal Laws?"
Li Quanmo said, his voice ethereal and commanding.
If this Top-grade Spiritual Root would willingly stay with the Li Family, even the Elders of the Sword Sect would have no choice but to accept it.
"Caii, quickly agree to it. The Li Family is a renowned Foundation Establishnt Family and will surely nurture you with great care!"
The Fang Clan Leader, standing beside her, also wore an expression that seemingly said all this was for your own good.
He didn’t want the girl to join the Sword Sect either since her prosperous future could be detrintal to the Fang Family.
It would be better for her to stay on Qingyu Island, as the rewards the Li Family would offer him were no doubt more lavish and beneficial.
"Green Jade Li Family..."
Zhou Caii’s face showed a hint of bewildernt as she murmured dreamily, "Immortals, how co I’ve heard that Shuihua Sword Sect is the strongest Sect in this sea area? I wish to join the Sword Sect and try my luck!"
A tinge of embarrassnt flashed across Li Quanmo’s face: "Little girl, how old are you to even know about the Shuihua Sword Sect!"
The Fang Clan Leader also spoke earnestly, "Caii, do you realize how far the Sword Sect is from Cangyue Island? There are tens of thousands of miles, passing through thousands of islands. Don’t you miss your parents, brothers, and sisters?"
Unfortunately, no matter how they tried to persuade her, Zhou Caii firmly refused to give in.
True to being a top-grade Spiritual Root, even at her tender age, she had her own convictions.
"Let’s go, let’s head back to Qingyu Island."
Li Quanqing spoke, and from beginning to end, he had not persuaded the girl even once.
"Since that is the case, fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave now."
The Fang Family Clan Leader bowed his hands in farewell, and taking advantage of the Ascension Bridge not yet soaring high, he directly maneuvered his Magic Artifact to jump down, landing steadily on the ground.
Wu Wu!
The Tower Ship Spirit Boat roared as it began to slowly resu its course, heading toward the family’s territory.
Ahead, there were still nearly a hundred Spirit Islands left unexplored, but now that a top-grade Spiritual Root was at stake, it was naturally a priority to escort her back to the island.
They would let other Elders co over to handle the continuation of the event.
"Quanqing, aren’t we really going to persuade her one last ti?"
Li Quanmo stood on the deck, still sowhat unwilling to give up.
If the Third Elder could take a top-grade Spiritual Root as a disciple, perhaps many Clan Elders would waver and reconsider the division of that Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"Forget it, why obstruct soone’s path."
"A top-grade Spiritual Root is called a Foundation Establishnt seed. If we forcefully keep her in the Li Family, how great do you think the chances are she’ll successfully establish her foundation?"
Li Quanqing shook his head slightly, revealing his true thoughts, "Besides, there’s more than one Golden Core Sect."
"Your aning is..."
"The Shuihua Sword Sect is a Golden Core Sect, and so is the Yanyue Sect. Holding a top-grade Water Spirit Root in our hands, we certainly have a multitude of options."
Li Quanqing broke into a smile.
It was clear that the Shuihua Sword Sect, openly supporting the Old Clan Chief, was not to be relied upon.
It was necessary to find a new powerful backer for oneself.
Li Quanmo’s eyes lit up as he heard this: "However, this matter is of great importance, we still need to consult with the Third Elder, and make a decision!"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in the other’s eyes.
They never expected that in the end, they would still have to take the initiative. Truly, fate plays tricks on people.
Fortunately, upon returning to Qingyu Island and after inquiring about the news, Li Quanqing and his companion let out a sigh of relief.
The Third Elder, whether he had changed his temperant or not, only flared up a few tis in the first two days and afterwards, calmly remained cultivating in his Cave Mansion.
"Could it be that the Hall Master is really preparing to attempt Foundation Establishnt on his own?"
Li Quanqing walked deep within the Artifact Refining Hall, with Li Quanmo and a young girl closely following behind.
With Li Kunli’s talent, there was indeed so possibility of success.
When he t the Third Elder again, the latter was sitting in the garden, tasting fragrant tea and cultivating his character.
"You’re saying you discovered a top-grade Water Spirit Root?"
Li Kunli frowned and put down his teacup, "Do the Clan Leader and others know about this?"
Li Quanqing shook his head: "We returned very quickly, and our entire Tower Ship was controlled by our people, so the news hasn’t spread yet."
"Hall Master, the Yanyue Sect favors recruiting various female disciples, why not send this Zhou Caii to them, to curry favor?"
Li Kunli seed sowhat tempted, but then hesitated after hearing a secret ssage in his ear, sighing softly, "Forget it, for now take Zhou Caii to the Old Clan Chief, and rember to claim a great rit."
Li Quanqing was stunned, although sowhat baffled, he still chose to comply and left the Cave Mansion with Zhou Caii.
"This youngster has a strong spirit. Just now he almost noticed ."
Leaves rustled as Li Kunlun suddenly erged from the depths of the garden, with a dignified and extraordinary deanor.
Standing beside the Third Elder, he even seed like a junior.
"Just now, why didn’t you let agree to it, to send that girl to your sister-in-law as a disciple?"
Li Kunli asked, sowhat puzzled.
"Sister-in-law? Don’t call her that haphazardly; you should call her Fairy Shen."
Li Kunlun toyed with the teacup, speaking with a hint of seriousness: "Kunli, let ask you, do you intend to split from the Old Clan Chief and the others, to divide the Li Family?"
The Third Elder pondered seriously for a mont, finally shaking his head: "I’m afraid that’s not possible. Even if I wanted to leave, not many of my clan mbers would follow ."
Not to ntion other interests and benefits, the Second-tier top-grade Spirit Vein on Qingyu Island itself was unparalleled.
Even if one truly defected to the Yanyue Sect, they don’t lack Foundation Establishnt Cultivators under their command; to be rewarded with a Second-rank Low-grade Spirit Island would be asking for the moon.
The Li Family has been operating on the Green Jade Islands for a thousand years, already inseparably intertwined.
"Since we cannot leave, then we have to maintain unwavering loyalty to the Sword Sect, at least on the surface, to let everyone know you are absolutely loyal."
Li Kunlun spoke, his gaze far-reaching.
The thing Golden Core Sects fear the most is disloyalty among their subordinates, tolerating it very little.
Li Kunli, hearing this, naturally also understood this principle and nodded silently in agreent.
"There’s no need to be disheartened, as long as our Li Family continues to exist, we will always find opportunities to overturn the heavens above us."
Li Kunlun smiled: "Let tell you so good news; the Yanyue Sect has sent word that your Foundation Establishnt Pill will soon be ready."
"Tomorrow I will start my journey, making a trip to the Yanyue Sea Area."
Joy flickered between the Third Elder’s brows, suddenly realizing sothing: "If you’re going to the Yanyue Sect and the Old Clan Chief needs to stay on Qingyu Island, with the Green Tide Pearl unable to leave the Island, who will retrieve the Elixir from the Shuihua Sword Sect?"
"The Second Elder and the others have already been decided on; five Qi Refining Perfection cultivators alongside an Array, and more than a dozen Second-rank Spirit Talismans they carry, should be enough to retreat unhard from a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator."
Li Kunlun spoke casually: "They want to make the trip; that’s absolutely not possible. I’ve already excused myself with the pretext of closed-door cultivation."
"The Yanyue Sect can’t wait, after all, you are my own brother!"
Li Kunli, hearing this, also couldn’t help but laugh heartily, a wave of emotion suddenly surging in his heart.
