Qi Refinement Twelfth Layer? If I Spread the Teachings, Could It Be an Achievement?

Li Zhengjun used his inner Mystic Mirror to discover a special place.

Besides adding two more cross-realm slots, he noticed the comparison between the two realms.

At this moment, he was at the Fetal Breath Sixth Layer, but his corresponding Great Scarlet Realm had actually become [the Qi Refinement Twelfth Layer]!

"That's strange. As far as I know, the highest level in the Great Scarlet Realm is only the Qi Refinement Tenth Layer, which is the Qi Refinement Great Perfection. I'm actually at the Qi Refinement Twelfth Layer right now?"

On second thought, Li Zhengjun guessed:

"I've heard that Foundation Establishment is difficult in the Great Scarlet Realm, and even taking Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Pill carries the risk of death. But in my Yuyu Realm, as long as one ingests the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one can achieve Qi Ingestion, which is equivalent to Foundation Establishment in the Great Scarlet Realm. Hmm, perhaps this is the strength of the cultivators in the Yuyu Realm; a difference of just two levels greatly increases the possibility of a cultivator breaking through to the next realm."

Thinking about this, Li Zhengjun had another idea.

"If I were to spread the Dharma in the Great Scarlet Realm and promote the cultivation system of the Yuyu Realm, wouldn't that greatly increase the probability of local cultivators achieving Foundation Establishment? If it could benefit countless cultivators in this realm, wouldn't that... be the great achievement my grandfather spoke of?"

He noted down this idea and then began to solidify his cultivation.

Another day passed before Li Zhengjun emerged from the pass and met Fang Yuan, who was waiting for him.

Fang Yuan hearing the voice, Fang Yuan's anxiety of the past few days vanished, and he quickly greeted the speaker:

Congratulations on your successful completion of your seclusion, sir.

Li Zhengjun nodded and asked, "With the agreed-upon time with the Sun Household approaching, how are they doing lately?"

Fang Yuan had wanted to report this for a long time, so he quickly said:

"Your Excellency, the Sun Household arrived in the capital yesterday with a large entourage. Ostensibly, they claimed to be bringing various families to pay their respects, but in reality, they intend to use this opportunity to investigate the strength and weaknesses of my Li Household. Hall Master Yuankai has already settled them in the suburbs and is personally dealing with them, handling the crowd while preventing them from spying on the palace's arrangements."

Li Zhengjun nodded and said:

"Let Yuankai handle this for now, I'll be there shortly."

Fang Yuan accepted the order and hurriedly left.

Without delay, Li Zhengjun returned to the Yuyu Realm in the blink of an eye.

Chongming Hall.

Five days have passed in this world, and two unfamiliar figures have appeared in the hall.

One of them was a long-faced young man with dark skin and a lean, bamboo-like build; his name was Li Dongsheng.

Li Dongsheng's Lineage had almost fallen into decline, with more than twenty members living in the mortal realm. He was the only one with Spirit Root among the three generations of his Lineage, and he led the hopes of his entire family to cultivate in the immortal mountains.

He wasn't particularly gifted, but he excelled through diligence. Whether in cultivation or the study of Spirit Plant, he made up for it with his Heavenly Dao. This dedication earned him the recognition of the elders in the clan, who passed down more of their Spirit Plant knowledge to him. He lived up to their expectations and became one of the best among the younger generation.

Li Dongsheng thought things were going very well, but a few days ago, Lord Li Chenbin personally approached him, saying that the Lineage needed him to do something important.

If he agrees, his family will receive a generous reward, giving them a chance to rebuild their lives.

Li Dongsheng agreed almost without hesitation.

He knew better than anyone that he was where he was today thanks in part to the Li Household's support and in part to the selfless and frugal support of his more than twenty family members.

He had no reason to refuse, whether for public or private reasons.

At this moment, as the first member of the Li Household branch to step into the Chongming Hall, Li Dongsheng was quite reserved in front of the senior cultivators he used to look up to. However, he was still reviewing the secrets that Lord Chenbin had given him.

Beside Li Dongsheng stood a completely different figure. This man was dressed in a short brown robe and was frighteningly burly, even larger than Li Hupeng. Standing there, he looked like an iron tower. This was Li Huchan.

At this moment, Li Huchan was looking around aimlessly, occasionally chuckling to himself, probably plotting something good in his mind.

He was naturally combative and extremely talented, but he was also a restless person.

Although the elders in the clan often had headaches because of his eccentricities, they still placed high hopes on him.

He had been familiar with his ancestors' deeds of following the True Person and fighting in all directions since childhood, and had fantasized countless times that one day he could also make great achievements. He never expected that this dream would come so quickly.

A few days ago, his uncle Li Hupeng found him and told him about the Great Scarlet Realm. Li Huchan was so excited that he lost his composure and couldn't even maintain his human form. He transformed into a giant striped tiger and jumped around in the cave abode.

Li Hupeng was so angry that he scolded him for being spineless. It took him a long time to let him transform back into human form. Then he forced him to learn the fighting techniques against the Wood Virtue lineage.

He changed his previously carefree nature and studied extremely diligently, memorizing the Secret Method in just three days.

Upon arriving at the Chongming Hall, as Li Dongsheng revisited the secret treasures, his mind wandered far away, filled with the exhilarating images of following Lord Zhengjun as he rampaged through the other world.

"Heh, what kind of bullshit Sun Household this? Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my Zhengjun will be torn to pieces!"

As the two were lost in their fantasies, they suddenly noticed the elders getting up one after another, so they both jumped up as well, their hearts racing for no apparent reason.

They all knew that Zhengjun must have returned!

The next moment, the two were led by Li Zhengchen to the center of the main hall, where they met Lord Zhengjun, whom they had heard about countless times over the years.

Without any hesitation, the two instinctively bowed down in submission.

"Kowtow to your lord!"

Li Zhengjun scanned the two of them with his Divine Sense and smiled:

"Rise, one with a solid foundation in the Wood Virtue, the other with a rich and pure Gen Earth Bloodline—both are promising individuals. This time, you will accompany me to another world, where life will be less secure than within your clans, but your contributions will be rewarded, and your families will be proud of you."

The two were quite moved upon hearing this and bowed deeply once more.

Li Zhengjun then looked at his cousin Li Zhengchen, who had already prepared all the talismans and magical Law Artifact.

Thanks to the battle against the demons in the Ning Kingdom, the Li Household was not in such a panic. They set up a clear division of labor and tailored Li Zhengjun's various requirements to his specifications in a short period of time.

These Law Artifact and talismans are top-quality items of their class, yet they are not too flashy; the balance is just right.

Li Zhengjun accepted the items and smiled, "My cousin and the officials are truly incredibly fast. They've prepared everything I needed in just a few days. With these belongings, and considering that I've already achieved the Spirit Primordial Wheel cultivation thanks to the clan's elixirs, my chances of making this trip to Gold-Bearing Mountain are much greater."

Hearing this, everyone was very pleased. Seeing that the adult could break through quickly with the help of the pills they had developed gave them a strange sense of accomplishment.

Yuhong calculated the time and found that Zhengjun had broken through twice in less than a month in the Great Scarlet Realm.

If things continue like this, he might actually witness his grandson achieving the Purple Mansion realm before he falls.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said softly:

"Zhengjun, you did very well. After learning about your Spiritual Sense issues last time, I specifically sought out a Secret Method called the 'Soul-Washing Incantation.' This technique requires the cultivation of Qi Ingestion's Divine Sense, but you should be fine with it. After cultivation, it can alter the memories of the target, which might come in handy in certain situations."

Li Zhengjun accepted it and said, "Thank you True Person."

Yuhong felt it was best to play it safe for a while, so he added:

"Go ahead. According to the intelligence, this battle shouldn't be a major problem. But even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although this battle is a probe of the surrounding islands, you don't need to have too many concerns."

"If there are any they don't like, just kill them. If they're particularly troublesome and it's inconvenient to kill them on the spot, let them suffer a bit, then use this 'Soul-Washing Incantation' to alter their memories. I don't think they'll be able to cause any trouble then."
