From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal Chapter 219 - 214: The Swan Trader

Outside Qingyu Cave Heaven, all Foundation Establishnt cultivators were on high alert, sensing an overwhelming aura approaching, mixed with Demon Energy.

The Qi Refining cultivators below couldn’t grasp the situation and remained silently confused.

Finally, under the wary gazes of everyone, a flock of snow-white birds appeared in the field of view, their wings wider than the clouds, as white as jade.

Li Kunlun’s eyes were especially keen, instantly spotting the large structures built upon the backs of these large birds, with towers and halls of all kinds.

"This seems to be a... rchant caravan?"

Foundation Establishnt cultivators possess Divine Sense and imdiately saw that on the backs of the white giant birds, flags were flying, embroidered with the caravan’s insignia.

"If this old man is not mistaken, I’m afraid we have encountered a group of roaming rchants. They travel through the entire Cultivation World, exchanging goods and earning substantial profits."

The Old Clan Chief spoke slowly, his long life having granted him broad knowledge.

"We are from the White Bird Comrce, roaming the continent and the entire East Sea. Seeing that this place is bustling and thriving, we have co to conduct trade with fellow Daoists."

"If we have caused any disturbance, we hope for your understanding..."

A gigantic white bird with four wings landed, and a Foundation Establishnt cultivator with white hair and whiskers and a kind deanor descended from its back, his presence like a breath of spring.

"Not at all, not at all, having your esteed caravan favor us is likewise a blessing for our Green Jade Li Family..."

Li Zongyao also ca forward with a smile, striking up a conversation with the man, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a ti.

Li Quanqing discreetly glanced at the center of the caravan, only to see a six-winged white bird suspended there, its massive body nearly the size of an island, surrounded by other Demon Birds as if they were stars around the moon.

Third-rank Demon!

No wonder it was a caravan that traveled across the entire continent, possessing Golden Core strength; perhaps there was a Golden Core True Master hidden on the back of this six-winged Demon Bird.

Screech! Screech!!

After a round of conversations, accompanied by a wave from the old man, nearly a hundred giant white birds slowly descended, spreading their wings like islands floating on the sea surface.

The structures built on the backs of these birds glimred faintly, with Array Patterns interweaving to form a grand Array that protected all sides, allowing people to enter and observe.

Li Quanqing could see clearly that most of these white birds only had two wings, indicating the level of Qi Refinent.

There weren’t many four-winged white birds, only nine, precisely matching the number of Foundation Establishnt cultivators present; inside, there must be many Second Rank treasures hidden.

As for that Third-rank Great Demon, it had shown no intention of landing from beginning to end.

"After this Immortal Ascension Conference is over, I will surely organize all the cultivators under my command to travel to your treasured lands for trade."

The Old Clan Chief said with a smile, sending the caravan’s Steward on his way, and waited for the auspicious news.

The Immortal Ascension Conference continued, and a vast Ascension Platform touched down on the sea surface, carved from grey-white jade, reflecting the Spirit Roots and their grades within the bodies of the children.

Though asuring the Spirit Roots of the younger generation to add fresh blood to the family was of paramount importance, the sudden arrival of the White Bird Comrce inevitably stole everyone’s attention.

They could hardly wait to experience the marvels of the roaming rchants.

"Let’s start."

All the Foundation Establishnt cultivators nodded, and then one after another, Li Family mbers stepped forward, piloting Spirit Boats carrying children towards the Ascension Testing Platform.

Naturally, the first to start were the children of the Li Family, who had the right to preferential treatnt.

"Ancestors bless, oh my son, you must not have a Low-grade Spirit Root, that would be too saddening for your father!"

Li Quanfu held his own son, standing in the place designated for Spirit Root testing, his heart fraught with particular trepidation.

Now his son, Li Jingui, had reached the ti when he could embark on the path of cultivation.

However, with his influence, he had naturally acquired a Spirit Testing Stone long ago, confirming that his son indeed possessed a Spirit Root.

But the attributes of the Spirit Root, and whether its grade was high or low, could not be discerned by a re stone; it required the aid of a more precise and valuable Spiritual Artifact.

One by one the Li Family children stepped onto the Ascension Platform. Unfortunately, their talents were not too outstanding; most of them had Low-grade Spirit Roots, and having a Middle-grade Spirit Root was already considered excellent.

Finally, it was the turn of the little guy, Li Jingui, who was about seven years old this year. With a round face, he looked like a rosy apple, and his deanor exuded a sense of simplicity.

As he stepped onto the Spirit Testing Platform, in an instant, a burst of resplendent golden shine erupted forth, dazzling and bright, imdiately drawing the attention of all the cultivators.

"Not bad, this year has yielded a good seedling. This is a child from the golden generation, right?"

Li Zongyao looked at the stone platform, at the brilliant gold halo hovering above the boy’s forehead, and couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

"A top-grade tal attribute Spirit Root, and it’s extrely close to the range of an Earth Spirit Root..."

Li Quanqing was also slightly astonished; this Li Quanfu really did have quite the impressive son.

A top-grade Spirit Root was exceedingly rare and precious, usually with only one born in an entire generation.

Li Jingui stood enveloped in the splendid aurora of golden light, looking very composed for his age with an endearing, naive smile as he wiggled back into his father’s embrace.

"Top-grade tal Spirit Root, my goodness, truly the blessing of our ancestors!"

Li Quanfu, holding his son, nearly grinned from ear to ear.

In his heart, he kept calculating; with such talent, his child could already be considered a seed for Foundation Establishnt and might even have the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by his own clan brother Quanqing.

Their lineage might actually produce a Foundation Establishnt ancestor!

After the appearance of Li Jingui, the top-grade tal Spirit Root, the performance of the remaining Li Family children seed lackluster by comparison, utterly ordinary.

By the end, there was no second top-grade Spirit Root to wait for.

After the Li Family children finished their tests, it was ti for those from smaller family clans and children of the appropriate age from mortal kingdoms, all pre-screened with Spirit Testing Stones.

This batch of children was even worse off, with many possessing inferior Spirit Roots.

Even if they embarked on the path of cultivation, it would be very difficult for them to break through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage in their lifetis, their paths filled with hardship.

Li Quanqing, bored with the proceedings, left a Silver Bean Puppet in his place to preside over the Evergreen Hall and quietly made his way to the White Bird Comrce on the ocean surface.

"Welco, honored guest!"

Nearly a hundred White Bird Demon Beasts lay prostrate on the sea, each with buildings erected on their backs, most of which were towers and pavilions, guarded by Arrays.

Li Quanqing walked over the waves, with the sea water churning beneath his feet, forming into lotuses that lifted his body.

"Do you have any Core Formation Spiritual Items for sale in your caravan, like Heavenly Fire Crystals?"

Upon seeing the previous Steward of the caravan, he couldn’t wait to ask.

The old man was first stunned, then revealed a polite smile: "Honored guest, to afford such a cherished treasure, I’m afraid you might need to sell your family’s Grotto Heaven Secret Realm to pay the price!"

Li Quanqing curled his lip; this was just a roundabout way of saying his family was very poor.

He didn’t dwell on it and continued to ask, "If there are no Core Formation Spiritual Items, there must at least be a Spiritual Beast Zone. Take to have a look!"
