Although Lin An was in the Domain, he also received news of the start of the national war during his first month in the Domain.
However, he was cultivating at that time and was in the Domain, so even if he knew the news, he couldn't return to the Myriad Spirits Realm.
With the methods he left to his father, unifying the Supreme Peace Empire would be a piece of cake.
He is still cultivating.
As time went by, he refined the Sovereign Pill one by one, causing his aura to rise.
However, the further you progress, the more Sovereign Pill you need to break through to the first rank.
It took him a full thousand Sovereign Pill just to break through from the Sovereign Realm Fifth Grade. The remaining thousand Sovereign Pill were not even enough to allow him to break through to the Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade.
However, his cultivation speed is already considered extremely fast. If anyone knew that he broke through from the Sovereign Realm Third Grade to the Sovereign Realm Sixth Grade in just one year, they would be absolutely shocked.
"Thankfully, I have the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique, which allowed me to refine the pills so quickly."
Lin An took out the pill and swallowed it again, then continued his cultivation.
Although it's impossible to break through to the Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade, I still need to finish refining the pills first.
As time went by, the one-year deadline he had agreed upon with Wu Bin of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was drawing ever closer.
Is he still in the alchemy room?
On this day, a man looked at Wu Bin and asked him a question.
The man's name was Kang Shan, Sovereign Realm Fourth Grade. He was also the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Fengyang City.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, he is currently still in the alchemy room. His alchemy room lease expires in about a month, and he should be able to come out by then," Wu Bin said, bowing.
Kang Shan nodded. "The higher-ups should be starting to contact the Li Clan soon; about a month should be enough."
"Once this deal with the Li Clan is completed, Lord Pavilion Master should be able to travel to the Xuan-level city. Your subordinate hereby congratulates you on your promotion," Wu Bin said respectfully.
Kang Shan smiled. He had been the Pavilion Master of Fengyang City for thirty years, and his seniority was more than enough. However, he had not accomplished anything significant, so he had not been promoted.
However, if one could make a deal with the Li Clan, the merit would be enough, and there's a high chance of being able to travel to a Xuan-level city.
Although it's impossible for him to serve as the Pavilion Master again, it's still a better career path than staying in a Yellow Rank city like Fengyang City.
The Western Severance Region.
The Li Clan, as one of the top families in the Western Severance Region, has many powerful members. There are as many as a hundred Sovereign Realm experts on display, and outsiders do not know how many are hidden in secret.
On this day, the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Western Severance City personally visited the Li Clan.
"May I ask what brings Pavilion Master Zhou Feng here?"
Although Li Qiyuan, the current head of the Li Clan, is an Sovereign Realm Eighth Grade, he is quite polite to Zhou Feng, the Pavilion Master.
Not only because the other party is a Sovereign Realm Ninth Grade, but more importantly because of the other party's identity as the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Being able to serve as the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in a Heavenly-level city demonstrates that one enjoys the deep trust of the Domain Lord.
"Master Li Clan, the reason I've come to visit is to deliver some good news," Zhou Feng said with a smile.
"Oh? I wonder what good news has brought Pavilion Master Zhou here in person?" Li Qiyuan was also very curious.
Zhou Feng simply smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing.
Li Qiyuan knew perfectly well that the other party was asking for a price, and said helplessly, "Pavilion Master Zhou, at least let me know what kind of information it is."
" The Li Clan's bounty notice," Zhou Feng said with a smile.
Li Qiyuan was taken aback at first, then excitedly stood up.
The Li Clan has only one bounty: to find the three people who slaughtered the younger generation of the Li Clan back then.
But this bounty has been posted for over three thousand years, and they've increased the reward several times, yet there's still no result.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng suddenly showed up and brought up the matter of the bounty.
He knew Zhou Feng's temperament; if he hadn't already tracked down the three men, or even captured them, Zhou Feng, as the sect leader, would never have personally come to his door.
"Name your price," Li Qiyuan, taking a deep breath to calm his excitement.
The Li Clan no longer cares so much about the deaths of those three people after all these years.
But the key is that those three people possess something fundamental to the Li Clan.
The Li Clan may seem to have a high status now, but that's only because someone in the family has been taken as a disciple by the domain lord. In reality, the Li Clan's true foundation is not as good as that of other families.
If they can find that item, they can unlock the Immortal Dao of Formations inheritance, Li Clan's foundation will be able to catch up with or even surpass other families.
"Those three have been killed; this is the true spirit of one of them."
Zhou Feng did not rush to name a price, but instead took out a true spirit, which was none other than that of the Heavenly Revelation Grand Progenitor.
However, this true spirit has now been stripped of its consciousness, and even an Immortal expert would find it difficult to save it.
When Li Qiyuan saw this true spirit, his eyes lit up.
Although he had never met the Heavenly Revelation Grand Progenitor, the aura of these three people was present in his family, confirming that this was indeed one of them.
"My Heavenly Treasure Pavilion knows where the person who killed these three is. If the Li Clan is willing, we can set off to find them now," Zhou Feng continued.
Li Qiyuan remained silent for a long time, knowing that the other party was asking him to name his price.
The price definitely can't be low, otherwise the pavilion master wouldn't have made the trip in person.
"Three spots," Li Qiyuan said.
The quota he was referring to was naturally the quota that could be entered after the Land of Inheritance opened.
A spot in the Immortal Dao of Formations inheritance is not something money can buy.
Zhou Feng smiled but didn't say anything.
"Five," Li Qiyuan said again.
This time, Zhou Feng spoke up, "Ten, and ten slots each time the Land of Inheritance opens."
Li Qiyuan didn't react much to the mention of ten spots, but the next sentence made him frown.
If it were only ten, that would be fine, but if each opening requires ten slots, that's equivalent to needing tens of thousands of slots.
After all, once the Land of Inheritance opens, there will only be thirty slots available in total.
" Li Clan, this spot is not for my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."
Zhou Feng continued with a smile, "Of course, that person only asked me to inquire; if the Li Clan is unwilling, then so be it."
Li Qiyuan's heart stirred; only the Domain Lord could command Zhou Feng to come.
The other party could have simply robbed him, but instead sent someone to negotiate. If he doesn't agree, the Li Clan will surely face disaster.
Moreover, although ten spots seem like a lot, these spots are actually divided among the five domain lords, with each domain only having two spots.
"Okay." Li Qiyuan nodded immediately.
Seeing that Li Qiyuan agreed, Zhou Feng nodded in satisfaction and then told Li Qiyuan the details.
After Zhou Feng left, Li Qiyuan immediately went to the ancestral land and met with the elders.
"What? News of those three? They're in the Eastern Extremity Region?"
"Quickly, send someone there immediately. Never mind, I'll go myself."
Upon hearing Li Qiyuan's report, the elders of the Li Clan could no longer sit still and quickly organized a three-person team to head to the Eastern Extremity Region.
All three of them were at the Sovereign Realm Ninth Grade.
