I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

With the successive deaths of the three Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, Qingshan County gradually quieted down.

Half a month later, the Li family members who had fled to seek refuge returned one after another. At least for now, the Li family had a chance to catch their breath. After all, they had managed to stop the two invasions by evil cultivators. Even if it wasn't due to the Li family's own strength, their reputation had already spread.

However, he would not let the Xu family and the mastermind behind it all go so easily. But the opportunity for revenge had not yet arrived, and he had to continue to lie low.

Thinking of Xu Qingfeng's request for people, Li Yuan immediately became interested and went to the courtyard where Yang Si was being held.

"At this time, Yang Si was no longer as fierce as before. His dantian was destroyed and his hands and feet were broken. However, even so, Li Yuan could still smell a dangerous aura on him."

As for Zhang the cripple, Li Yuan didn't care about his cultivation level. After all, the two had a deal to make, and Li Yuan kept his promise and released him. Although Li Yuan released him, if the White Snake attacked him, Li Yuan wouldn't be considered to have broken his promise, since strictly speaking, the White Snake wasn't a member of the Li family.

Upon arriving at the place where Yang Si was being held, Li Yuan saw that Yang Si had not struggled at all and was simply sitting quietly in place. Li Yuan couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect, and then slowly said:

"If you can answer my question, I'll let you die a quick death, how about it?" Seeing that Yang Si didn't react, Li Yuan moved even closer.

As soon as he got close, Yang Si, like a madman, crawled directly towards Li Yuan, ready to tear him apart.

Seeing this, Li Yuan waved his hand and slammed him heavily against the wall.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I'll accept being killed if you want, but I can tell you something to disgust you."

Then Yang Si slowly said:

"The kidnapper you let go is the real culprit behind the attack on your Li family. All of this was just a means for him to escape his master."

After saying that, Yang Si burst into laughter.

Li Yuan was not surprised at all upon hearing this. He had never intended to let this kidnapper go, and he was inextricably linked to this matter no matter what.

Seeing that Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged, Yang Si seemed to understand something, and then slowly said:

"As expected of the Li family head, but do you think your troubles are over? My Blood Demon Sect has taken down two Foundation Establishment cultivators from your Li family. Sooner or later, your Li family will be wiped out by my Blood Demon Sect."

As they were talking, Yang Si seemed unwilling to submit and got up, preparing to smash his head against the ground to die. How could Li Yuan allow his blood to taint his courtyard? He used a fireball spell to burn him to ashes.

Since they couldn't get any information out of Xu Qingfeng, they shouldn't even leave his body behind, as that was the consequence of offending the Li family.

After killing Yang Si, Li Yuan looked at the ash on the ground, then called a servant and asked him to pick up the ash and send it to the Xu family.

Since Xu Qingfeng likes to play games, Li Yuan will naturally play along. Since they've already broken off relations, Li Yuan can't let this opportunity to annoy him pass by.

After everything was arranged, Li Yuan returned to Bamboo Mountain. At this time, the White Snake also returned to Bamboo Mountain, with a Qiankun Belt still attached to its tail.

Li Yuan picked up the Qiankun bag, and then took out Yang Si's Qiankun bag as well. Looking at the two Qiankun bags, Li Yuan was a little curious. The two evil cultivators must have accumulated a lot of wealth. Even if they couldn't help the Li family raise enough resources for Foundation Establishment, it would definitely make up for the losses this time.

Li Yuan opened Yang Si's Qiankun bag first, and the contents immediately caught his attention. There were nearly five hundred spirit stones inside, along with four first-tier peak talismans and two bottles of strange blood-red pills.

Li Yuan glanced at the two bottles of pills and destroyed them immediately. The pills looked extremely evil. The other item, a magical artifact, caught Li Yuan's attention.

Looking at the red robe, Li Yuan's face showed a satisfied expression. This robe was neither a first-tier nor a second-tier robe, but something in between.

There must have been a problem during the forging process, which caused the second-tier robe to fail to be forged, ultimately becoming a defective product that exceeded the first tier but did not reach the second tier.

Even if it's a defective product, its defensive capabilities are far superior to ordinary defensive magical artifacts. Moreover, it's worn close to the body, so outsiders wouldn't even notice it.

After obtaining the robe, Li Yuan couldn't wait to put it on and then continued to rummage through his Qiankun bag.

He took out the remaining items one by one. Apart from a cultivation manual, the rest were just some worthless odds and ends. Li Yuan's interest was piqued again when he saw the cultivation manual.

"This ancient manual only has five large characters written on it."

Upon opening the "Five Organs Ascension to Immortality Method," the words "Haohua Chapter" were written inside; surprisingly, it was still an incomplete copy.

However, the ancient aura made Li Yuan realize that this cultivation technique was not a simple one. The book seemed to have an allure, prompting Li Yuan to take a look.

Upon seeing this item, Li Yuan suddenly realized that Xu Qingfeng might be after it. With that thought, Li Yuan put the "Five Organs Ascension Method" into his Qiankun bag.

Regardless of whether it was something Xu Qingfeng needed, Li Yuan could not allow this evil technique to leak out. After all, he had only read a few pages and was already somewhat tempted, but more than anything, he was struck by the fact that this technique was sinister in every way.

"What's this talk of blood ancestor worship, or mending the karmic debts? Li Yuan has absolutely no desire to touch upon these things."

After putting away the cultivation technique, Li Yuan opened Zhang Guaizi's Qiankun bag. Zhang Guaizi did have two Qiankun bags, but one of them was probably not a Qiankun bag, but a more precious spirit beast bag.

This spirit beast bag is far rarer than the Qiankun bag. It took Li Yuan half an hour to open the spirit beast bag, which was empty except for a dead spirit beast.

Li Yuan then put away the spirit beast bag and took out the Qiankun bag. There were no restrictions on the Qiankun bag. Li Yuan counted the contents and found that besides a Blood Demon Manual, there were two hundred spirit stones and some miscellaneous items. As for the magic weapon, the one Zhang Daqiang used was a blood-red flying sword, which was at the peak of the first rank and was suitable for Li Daqiang to use.

After counting his harvest, Li Yuan put half of the spirit stones he had obtained into the clan treasury, while the other half belonged to him.

In the following days, the Li family finally settled down. After the nearby immortal clans learned that the Li family had lost two Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, they all wanted to curry favor with the Li family. There were even many Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators who were preparing to establish immortal clans around the Li family and ask for the Li family's protection.

Li Yuan did not personally handle any of these issues, leaving them all to Li Daqiang. During this time, the two discussed the matter and decided to retain some members of the Immortal Clan, since the Li family alone was clearly insufficient for development.
