With the battle over, cleaning up the battlefield began.
In the event column, a pleasant list appeared:
[You have obtained a book titled "Pharmaceutical Classic". ]
[You have obtained a book titled "Diagram of the Spear Forest Formation". ]
[...]
As they say, "War is the easiest way to amass wealth."
As the Li family searched, all the martial arts manuals of the Hu and Wang families were collected into the Li family's possession.
Not only that.
[Your family has occupied two gold mines. ]
[Your family has occupied the 'Celestial Blue Stone mine'. ]
[Your family has acquired the 'Viridian Lake', where ingredients that can enhance one's true qi have been discovered.]
Li Wei was dazzled by the various resources.
[Your family leader has obtained a top-grade spiritual weapon—the Heavenly Seal! ]
The top-grade spiritual weapon that repeatedly caused trouble to Li Wei during the battle with the war puppet had appeared in Li Dalong's hands!
Not only could this spiritual weapon increase in size and gain immense weight to attack enemies, but it could also form a formation for sealing. Li Wei was well aware of how powerful this thing was. A Foundation Establishment cultivator using a spiritual weapon could even fight across a small cultivation stage.
However, while the harvest was plentiful, The Li family's heavy casualties were an unavoidable fact they had to face.
Of the thousands of civilians in Green Valley Village, more than half were killed or injured. Over a hundred monsters belonging to the Li family were similarly decimated in the first wave of attacks from the Hu family's spear formation, leaving only about two dozen or so.
Of the four spiritual beasts, only the weakest one, the Eight-leaf Flower Demon, survived.
Even among the Li family members, there were casualties. Even though Li Wei had done his best to help the Li family members avoid danger, Li Yaottie still narrowly escaped death during the battle, ultimately losing his left arm. The 'Ancestors' Embrace' could only heal wounds, but it couldn't regenerate lost limbs.
"Let's think of a way for him when the family has developed further."
...
Soon, the scene in the game shifted.
Everyone had returned to the Li family's base with their spoils of war.
At that moment, Li Daling was comforting the villagers of Green Valley who had lost their close ones. He gave them his promise that as long as the Li family existed, they would protect the entire village of Green Valley.
From this moment on, all the newborn children in Green Valley Village will receive guidance from cultivators, gain more farmland and resources, and even be given seeds of spiritual herbs.
"Next, it's time for the Li family to develop rapidly!" Li Wei grinned.
This war, for him, was not without its impact.
He feels more and more that the descendants in this game are real people. They have emotions and qualities that he couldn't help but admire. Many times, Li Wei even felt that if the real-life Li family were like the Li family in the game, he might also dedicate himself to the entire family.
As his thoughts wandered,
[Your descendant Li Yaottie returned with a severed arm, Bai Rourou was heartbroken when she saw this and took the initiative to propose to Li Yaotie!]
The game screen lit up again, as the entire village of Green Valley came to the Li family for the wedding. And it wasn't just them.
The Chen family, who have now returned to Tailin Town, and Su Yun, the head of the Su family, also came to attend the wedding.
Li Yaottie, now one-armed, and Bai Rourou, dressed in wedding attire, stepped into the hall of marriage.
Next, they arrived at the ancestral hall.
"Waaah, ancestors, Yaottie is finally married! If I had known that losing an arm would allow me to marry Rourou, I would have cut off my own arm long ago," Li Yaottie cried like a 200-pound child.
"..."
Previously, Li Wei was afraid that losing his arm would affect Li Yaottie's state of mind. Now it seems...
[Congratulations on your descendant's grand wedding! You have gained +50 incense!]
This happy event washed away the sorrow of the heavy casualties in Green Valley Village.
The entire Li family and Green Valley Village embarked on a new round of development.
[In the year 34th]
At the beginning of this year, the fruits of the Li family's gains from Tianlin Town began to show results!
[Li Yaozu killed his enemy Hu Wei, and his mind was suddenly clear. He had already grasped the Dao of Foundation Establishment and began his seclusion! ]
"The third foundation-building stage of the Li family."
A smile appeared on Li Wei's face.
However, the only downside was that after separating from Qu Xiaoxiao, Li Yaozu seemed to be heartbroken and had no intention of getting married again.
"Children and grandchildren will find their own happiness" Li Wei had no intention of forcing Li Yaozu to marry.
Just as he was pondering this matter,
"Ancestor, I've succeeded, I've succeeded again!"
The game screen instantly switched to the Spirit Herb Garden.
Li Yaoqing was seen holding the ancestral tablet, happily spinning around in circles. The Li Yaoqing who had coldly and ruthlessly shot her enemies with poisoned arrows in Tailin Town had returned to the Spirit Herb Garden, acting like an innocent child.
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing, after years of research, has finally developed a new Elixir, Golden Spirit Elixir! ]
[Golden Spirit Elixir (ninth-grade Elixir): Increases Metal Spirit Root by 1-8 points. ]
"Finally developed!"
Looking at the news, Li Wei almost jumped up.
This ninth-grade Elixir is simply a godsend for newbies. It's something that can change one's aptitude. Even if it were placed in the real world, it would still sell for a sky-high price!
This also means that the aptitudes of the Li family members will be further enhanced. The biggest beneficiary will be Li Dalong. This guy's Metal Root reached 68 points after the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as his luck isn't too bad, he can break through 70!
"Ancestor, we can now obtain a lot of resources from Tailin Town. I'm ready to develop two new medicines!"
Li Yaoqing knelt down before the ancestral tablet and then began tinkering with her new medicine.
Li Wei took a brief look.
Mind Clarity Elixir, a kind of medicine that can keep one's mind clear during cultivation, is equivalent to increasing one's comprehension!
Vita-Mend Ointment, an extremely potent healing medicine that can treat both internal and external injuries. In fact, as long as a limb is severed for less than 30 seconds, it can be reattached with it.
"Yaoqing, you are really my big treasure!"
Li Wei's mouth was practically splitting into his ears from smiling so widely.
As long as Li Yaoqing increases her efforts in refining, and when the Li family grows stronger in the future, she teaches more apprentices, Li Wei can even open a pharmacy company directly in the real world.
