Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 141 The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope

"Ah."

Li Qianxiong didn't say anything else. After looking around the beast field, he checked the array set up around the camp with Li Xianghua's help. Finally, he sent the others away, leaving only Li Xiangming behind.

"Xiangming, you've done an excellent job, both in the accounting department and the animal trapping department, and the family is very satisfied with you. Since last year, the family has been considering rewarding you. Is there anything you'd like to receive?"

Reward?

Li Xiangming's heart stirred. Since returning to the Li family, his situation was many times better than that of Green Cloud Cave.

Now, he not only receives a monthly salary for his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, but also the salary for his positions as the head of the Beast Catching Room and the scribe of the Changlin Room, as well as exclusive subsidies for the disciples of the Fourth Room and the Changlin Room.

These salaries and subsidies were mostly distributed in the form of medicinal pills.

Therefore, Li Xiangming never lacked the elixirs needed for cultivation.

For example, Huangyadan can be eaten directly like candy if you're not afraid of erysipelas.

But that's all; he didn't possess any treasures.

Aside from the evil green-robed figure, only a secondhand airship was passable.

Li Xiangming had considered exchanging his achievements for something better.

However, merit points are not worthwhile unless they are exchanged for spells.

Moreover, the items redeemable with the performance bonus are limited.

For example, Li Xiangming had always wanted to exchange for a water-based magic weapon to replace the Water Element Flag.

The Water Element Flag was a magical artifact that Li Xiangming used in the early stages of Qi Refining. Although it was very handy and easy to use, and its quality was of medium grade, it was, after all, a mass-produced imitation with a very low potential. In the past two years, as Li Xiangming entered the late stage of Qi Refining, it was no longer sufficient.

However, the Li family's storeroom contains very few water-based magical artifacts, and even fewer that can be exchanged for merit points.

The better quality ones were either too expensive or unsuitable, which infuriated Li Xiangming.

After much deliberation, Li Xiangming suppressed his thoughts and focused most of his efforts on second-tier talismans.

Second-tier talismans are expensive, but they are widely applicable.

Li Xiangming sometimes jokes that he is an unkillable cockroach because he has many life-saving talismans.

However, no matter how good the talisman is, it is still a consumable. Although it can greatly enhance one's combat power, it is not cost-effective.

Using magical artifacts and spells in battle is the mark of a thrifty and diligent cultivator.

Upon hearing the patriarch mention the rewards, Li Xiangming immediately requested a better water-based magical artifact.

"A magical artifact?"

After a moment's thought, Li Qianxiong raised his arm and grasped an ancient rope that emitted a dark, eerie light in his palm.

"The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope, a top-grade water-based magic weapon crafted by Master Yi two hundred years ago, what do you think?"

"A top-grade magic weapon?"

Li Xiangming was dumbfounded and stood there stunned for a moment.

"Why such a big reaction? Do you want it?"

Li Qianxiong smiled.

"miss you!"

Li Xiangming snapped out of his daze and nodded heavily.

"That depends on your skills."

Having said that, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain seemed to have a mind of its own, breaking free from Li Qianxiong's restraints and disappearing.

Li Xiangming was shocked and hurriedly used his escape technique to give chase.

This is a top-grade magic artifact, more precious than his own life!

In an instant, Li Xiangming caught up with the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope, but just as he was about to succeed...

Suddenly, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain emitted a bright, eerie light, and countless icy water blades sliced ​​through the air, hurtling towards Li Xiangming.

Li Xiangming dared not be negligent and dodged left and right.

The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope, as if in a provocation, rushed towards Li Xiangming, but then suddenly accelerated and flew away halfway.

Seeing this, Li Xiangming's competitive spirit was immediately aroused. He surged with magical power, chanted incantations, and released wisps of mist. Water snakes leaped out from his body.

Water snakes, large and small, moved through the mist as if they were fish in water, continuously rushing towards the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope.

The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope did not sit idly by and wait for its death. It attacked from both sides, smashing the water snake to pieces.

However, there were too many water snakes, and eventually one of them wrapped its tail around the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope.

In an instant, Li Xiangming's magical power surged, and the water snake transformed into a nearly tangible ribbon of magical power, pulling the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope toward him.

Before long, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain was right before their eyes.

Li Xiangming reached out to grab it, but the rope suddenly stretched and then shrank, instantly breaking free of the magic ribbon. A chilling aura penetrated straight to Li Xiangming's bones.

Li Xiangming's expression changed drastically, and he retreated repeatedly, but it was too late. The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope climbed up his arm and bound him tightly in just half a breath.

At the same time, more cold air invaded Li Xiangming's body, causing his magical power to become sluggish.

"What a powerful magical artifact."

Li Xiangming frowned, not expecting to be outmaneuvered.

Just as he took out the teleportation talisman, intending to escape, his green robe suddenly emitted a green light.

"Is the evil green-robed man reacting?"

Li Xiangming froze, unable to move for a moment.

In a moment, the green light emanating from the evil green robe dispelled the chill emanating from Li Xiangming.

The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"it is good."

Li Xiangming was both surprised and delighted, never expecting that the evil green-robed man would help him at this crucial moment.

Of course, saying it was a help is not quite right; the evil green-robed man was probably just after the magic power of the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't withstand the evil green-robed man's torment, let alone the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope?

In just a few breaths, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain spontaneously broke away from Li Xiangming, intending to leave quietly.

However, Li Xiangming could not do as it wished.
He gripped the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope tightly with both hands, refusing to let go, while constantly trying to communicate with it using his magic and divine sense.

The Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain was naturally impatient and strongly resisted.

The two sides are deadlocked.

However, as time went on, the struggles of the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope became smaller and smaller.

Its magical power was already low, and after being drained by the evil green-robed figure, it was already weakened.

Li Xiangming pressed his advantage, continuously using his own magic to cleanse the opponent of their original magic.

Suddenly, the scene before Li Xiangming changed, and he found himself in a desolate body of water.

The waters were surrounded by surging waves and dark clouds, while the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope was in the center of the waters, watching with predatory intent.

Li Xiangming felt a chill run down his spine; it was possible to pull his soul into the realm of imagery.

The opponent is definitely not a simple magical artifact!

However, how can one destroy their own soul?
Li Xiangming took a deep breath and ran towards the center of the water.

Although he had no opportunity to learn the secret techniques of the soul, his soul was extraordinary, and after being tormented by the evil Green Robe, he believed he had some skills.

Since the Weeping Spirit Desolate Heavenly Chain wants to test its mettle, let's see who lasts the longest!
"Have we entered the realm of imagery?"

Li Qianxiong, who was watching from the sidelines, raised his eyebrows, not expecting the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Chain to be so tenacious.

However, this is also good. If Li Xiangming can defeat the Weeping Spirit Desolate Heavenly Rope in the Imaginary Space, he will be able to control this magical artifact more easily in the future.

As for failure, Li Qianxiong did not consider it.

The Qiling Desolate Sky Chain has been sealed for many years, and its strength is now less than one-hundredth of what it once was.

If Li Xiangming cannot subdue it even after this, and even returns injured, it only proves that Li Xiangming is not destined for this magical artifact, and is not worthy of the Li family entrusting him with such an important task.

　I went out again today, so I can't finish Chapter 3 in time. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry.
