In the living room.
After many days, Li Wei met with Boss Qi once again.
While sipping his milk tea, Boss Qi stared at the young man before him with a puzzled expression. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, he sensed that Young Master Li seemed different from how he was just a few days ago.
While Young Master Li had always been a clever and cautious little fox, now he exuded an air of maturity and composure. In his eyes, one could even see the weariness of someone who had weathered many years and a hint of authority that compelled Boss Qi to treat him with greater respect.
"Young Master Li, the price I received from selling the various Elixir you gave me is far from enough to cover the cost of the items I've brought back for you," Boss Qi casually remarked. "However, that Yang Enhancement Elixir you provided is selling quite well."
As he spoke, he tossed a storage ring to Li Wei. "I couldn't find that nuclear missile you mentioned. But I did manage to get my hands on some new products. They should be effective against ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but as for that old spiritual woman outside, I wouldn't recommend it. Oh, and there are also four C7-type Sky Star Spirit Seekers."
Li Wei glanced at the storage ring and noticed a badge with a ghost head design. He took it out, looking puzzled. "What's this?"
"Oh, because we've been purchasing contraband from them multiple times, they believe that the boss behind me has great potential and shows promise of becoming a hardcore criminal."
Boss Qi said with a wry smile, "They expressed their hope of inviting you to join them, to become a part of their extended family."
"..."
Seeming to have caught the attention of some strange group, Li Wei ignored the invitation. He tossed another storage ring to Boss Qi. "This time, I'll only give you ten Beast Blood Fruits. Take them to auction. Those wealthy young masters, once they've tasted the benefits, will probably be clamoring to buy them."
Boss Qi was frowning, but Li Wei's next words brought a smile to his face.
"These ten are of a higher grade than the ones I gave you before. They contain 1000 units of spiritual power and even have a chance of increasing one's spirit root value by 1 point. Their value goes without saying."
"In addition to those, there are 50 portions each of Elixir that enhance the various five elemental spirit roots. And 500 portions of Yang Enhancement Elixir."
"And 30 portions of 'Spirit Cleansing Elixir,' which increases the chance of removing impure spirit roots by 5% when Foundation Establishment cultivators attempt a breakthrough!"
Boss Qi abruptly pushed himself up from the table.
He stared at Li Wei with a solemn expression. "Young Master Li, no, Master Li, from this day forward, I officially join this rebellion! I will do my utmost to find high-powered weapons for you!"
...
After bidding farewell to Boss Qi, Li Wei returned to his room. He tossed the storage ring in his hand, then focused his attention on the screen.
[Year 90th]
On this day, the entire Li family mobilized once again. This was also the first time the Li family's Grand Ceremony had been postponed.
Due to Azure Cloud region's thorough search efforts, the Li family's carrier pigeons were no longer a viable means of communication. But it didn't matter; Li Wei still had the ancestral tablets.
The Li family's descendants emerged from swamps, forests, vast mountain ranges, and bustling marketplaces.
Once naive and inexperienced before the Primordial Blood Tree, they followed its omens to their destined places. Throughout these seven years, they had endured and experienced so much that they no longer needed guidance.
The siege by the Azure Cloud region didn't hinder them; instead, it became the driving force behind their growth.
The only drawback was...
"No new offspring have been born." Li Wei pressed his hand to his forehead.
Back at the Li family estate, the children were peaceful and joyful. The thing that bothered Li Wei the most every year was that they would constantly find partners and have children, to the point that even Xu Cuihua was afraid.
But now, they simply didn't have time to deal with matters of the heart. They were either engaged in battles or on their way to fight.
This also led to another problem.
From the Foundation Establishment stage onwards, the probability of having children would decrease. The stronger they became, the lower the chances would be.
But it's alright.
Li Wei placed the responsibility of the grand task of procreation on the shoulders of the fifth generation.
[Green Valley Town, Li Family]
The current Li family estate, thanks to the years of development by the villagers of Green Valley Village, had grown into a town.
At this moment, within the Li family courtyard, Huang Xiujin was playing with a child. The Drunken Madman had once said that Huang Xiujin's end was near, and indeed, the old man now appeared much older.
That child was none other than the young Li Kuangtu, who had been entrusted to Huang Xiujin's care.
Nearby, a young woman was gently watching the little Li Kuangtu swinging on a swing.
"Grandpa Huang, you said my family are all great heroes. Why haven't they come back to find me yet?" The adorable child asked with innocent, wide eyes.
"They are all busy with important matters."
Huang Xiujin gave a perfunctory reply, and as he turned his face away, he let out a long sigh.
It wasn't until the Li family left and erected the 'Tower' of the Xiao family at the Azure Cloud Pavilion that he truly understood how audacious and reckless the Li family was.
Now, the Li family had become a complete enemy of the Azure Cloud region. In every village and town throughout the Azure Cloud region, one could see wanted posters for the Li family members.
Within those major sects and influential families, missions to capture Li family members were perpetually posted.
Killing a member of the Li family bloodline could even earn one a mid-grade spirit artifact. As for killing a descendant from the first two generations of the Li family, the reward would be at least a high-grade spirit weapon.
Countless talented young individuals in the Azure Cloud region considered capturing Li family members as a trial by fire and a way to achieve glory.
