First, Build Up Your Strength

Lu Changzhi looked at Qin Li, thought for a moment, and said.

"This world is vast, and it will always become even more vast."

There will always be someone even more extraordinary.

"It's a good thing to be able to see them."

"But don't look at them all the time."

"Look down and see the path beneath your feet."

"Look ahead, look at the paths you haven't yet traversed."

"Look back at the path you've walked."

"Think about your life, how much time have you spent walking these paths?"

Hearing Lu Changzhi's words, Qin Li hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak.

"But all of this requires Master's support."

"Without my master, I would never have been able to obtain those cultivation resources on my own."

She knew very well that although she had not yet reached a very high level, the time she had spent on this journey was far beyond what her past self could have imagined.

This is indeed quite remarkable.

But she knew even more clearly that without her master's strong support, it would have been absolutely impossible to achieve such speed.

Putting aside everything else, even things related to the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree were things I only came into contact with after I had cultivated to a certain level in my previous life.

In other words, without my master, I wouldn't be who I am today.

Lu Changzhi looked at Qin Li, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Now is a good time to go out and get away."

The outside world is complex, but also wonderful.

"If you're willing to go out and make your own way in the world, just let me know."

"Experience is also part of your growth."

Qin Li looked at Lu Changzhi and nodded.

"Thank you, Master."

Although that wasn't what she thought, after hearing what her master said just now, it seemed she had finally found some reasons.

Lately, I've felt like something's not quite right, and while I have some ideas about why, it just doesn't seem quite right.

The Master's words now seem to have touched upon the crux of the matter.

Perhaps I really need to go out and gain experience on my own to better understand my own abilities and position.

While one's master is indeed powerful, he is not the same as one's own power.

Just as Master said, in the end, one must walk one's own path.

As for which way to go next, it seems that for a long time, I have indeed been trapped by my own limitations.

The spiritual practice of one's past life is indeed of great benefit to one's spiritual practice in this life.

But now it seems that even in my past life, the path I walked was not very far, far from enough to support me to go further.

After Qin Li left, Lu Changzhi lay back in the chair, his arms wrapped around his neck.

After a long while, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

"The child has grown up."

"They really should be allowed to go out and make their own way in the world."

Just then, Lu Changzhi had a sudden thought and opened his eyes.

A figure with Jiang Tong stood before him on Hidden Origin Peak.

Lu Changzhi stood up, smiled, and said.

"Ancestor, what brings you here?"

Jiang Tong glanced at him discreetly and chuckled.

"Come and take a look, broaden your horizons."

Lu Changzhi smiled and said upon hearing this.

"What could possibly be on Hidden Origin Peak that would broaden the Ancestor's horizons? Nothing more than mundane things."

Jiang Tong smiled and said.

"I don't have any Dao Comprehension Tea Tree where I live, and they certainly don't grow as lush and verdant as yours."

He couldn't help but smile after saying that.

"So you still haven't cried."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it.

A pile of exquisite jade bottles appeared in mid-air.

Lu Changzhi glanced over at the system introduction, then his expression shifted, and he spoke.

"This must be the thing our ancestors spoke of, the kind that allows those who emerge from Land of Contemplation to continue their practice outside."

Jiang Tong Lu Changzhi a deep look and smiled.

Nothing escapes your eyes, little one.

"Each person receives one bottle. You need to refine and accept it yourself. The process may be a bit strange. It's best to wait until you've refined it before going out."

After saying that, Jiang Tong's figure disappeared from the spot.

Lu Changzhi put away the jade bottles, then gathered everyone together and gave them a brief explanation of the situation.

After listening, Mu Fan spoke up.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that even those who were here from the beginning, even if they find a chance to leave, might not achieve anything?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

Mu Fan clicked his tongue softly.

"That's too harsh. After all, different places nurture different people."

"But thankfully, I have a master."

Gu Chen glanced at Mu Fan, then nodded in deep agreement.

After chatting for a while, everyone took their jade bottles and returned to their places of cultivation.

Lu Changzhi opened a jade bottle, smelled it, but there was no unique scent.

He then tilted his head back and swallowed it down in one go.

There wasn't anything particularly unique or intensely stimulating.

Lu Changzhi carefully sensed it; it was relatively weak, and could be described as mild.

"At this rate, it will take some time."

"Speak, "Lu Changzhi, then put aside his thoughts and stopped trying to process them.

I lay back down firmly, closed my eyes, and dozed off slightly.

Peaceful and serene.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Within the Li Clan, all the high-ranking and powerful figures gathered together.

Even the patriarch of the Li Clan came out and sat on either side of the front.

And that most important position was none other than Li Baimei's.

Li Baimei looked at a spot in the crowd and asked a question.

"Have all the resources of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom been processed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else spoke up.

"Most of it is done; only a few things remain, but they should be finished soon."

Li Baimei nodded, then looked around at everyone present and said.

"After so many years of development, the Li Clan has finally ushered in its own opportunity for growth."

"The Great Qian Ancient Kingdom no longer exists; its resources belong to our Li Clan."

"Furthermore, with the words of that powerful member of the Jiang Clan here, our family should have enough say in this so-called Land of Contemplation."

At this point, everyone present showed a hint of joy on their faces.

After all, this isn't some inspiring statement; it's the reality.

From then on, neither the Sword Hall nor the Northern Nether Pavilion could ever compare to the Li Clan again.

At this moment, Li Baimei changed the subject again.

"But you all saw what happened that day."

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

"While we can be happy about the current situation, we must not be complacent."

"Now that our Li Clan has such resource advantages, we absolutely cannot be satisfied with staying here. In the future, we must inevitably expand outwards."

Many of the high-ranking officials present nodded in agreement with this statement.

If this Land of Contemplation were a good place, these powerful forces would have arrived long ago.

The fact that they didn't choose to compete for it here is enough to show that there are better options outside.

"Alright."

Li Baimei spoke last.

I won't say anything more.

"How are the roads outside? Are they easy to travel? I'll go out and scout them out for you first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Baimei walked outside.

Meanwhile, the farewell ceremony held by the Li Clan was also unprecedentedly magnificent.

Soon after, Li Baimei appeared from among the Jiang Clan.

The powerful member of the Jiang Clan who had previously left a token for Li Baimei personally greeted him.

After the two sat down one after the other, the Jiang Clan expert got straight to the point.

"The Jiang Clan is not the most suitable place for you to develop your career."

"The place that's right for you to thrive is called the 'Huaxia Sect'."

"However, we won't be sending you there for the time being."

"These next few days, stay at the Jiang Clan and take good care of your health. Also, learn about the outside world."

Li Baimei nodded in agreement, but couldn't help asking another question.

"Senior, why do you need to replenish your body?"

The powerful member of the Jiang Clan waved his hand.

"That's not important. Just know that it's for your own good."

"Come on, I'll take you to where you live."
