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

As Li Shouqian left, both Li Yuan and Zhang Shi showed reluctance on their faces. Li Yuan really did not expect that Shouqian would have such a divine destiny.

However, as a father, Li Yuan naturally had no objection to his child's success. Li Shouqian also took the Iron-Backed Wild Bear, a spirit beast he raised, with him. This was at the initiative of the Hundred Beasts True Man, who asked Li Shouqian to take it with him. It seems that the cultivation of the Hundred Beasts True Man's lineage is related to their own spirit beasts.

Only after Li Shouqian left did the Li family members return to their courtyard. It is believed that the news of the Li family's confrontation with the Daqing royal family will soon spread throughout Daqing.

Back in the courtyard, Li Daqiang looked at Li Yuan with a worried expression:

"Yuan'er, do you think Master Shouqian is reliable?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"Father, rest assured, this Hundred Beasts Immortal should not be some kind of evil cultivator. In any case, he gave us a token. If you wish to remain in Shouqian, you can naturally go to the Medicine Sect to see him."

In fact, Li Yuan couldn't be sure whether the Hundred Beasts Master truly wanted to take on a disciple or had other ideas about Shouqian. However, if the Hundred Beasts Master really had something on Li Shouqian, the Li family couldn't stop him. But since Luo Tong also knew the Hundred Beasts Master, the Hundred Beasts Master must have a good reputation.

For the next period of time, the Li family fell into peace until two months later, when a disciple of the Medicine Sect came to the Li family, and Li Yuan was finally relieved.

At this moment, in the small fishing village, a cultivator from the Medicine Sect at the ninth level of Qi Refining stood respectfully outside the Li family's residence.

"Is Venerable Li Yuan at home?"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yuan immediately appeared outside the Li family residence.

Li Yuan looked at the young cultivator before him and slowly said:

"Indeed, may I ask what brings you here, young man?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining slowly said:

"Master Li, this was sent to you by my senior brother. He also told me to tell you not to worry about him, as he is doing very well in the Medicine Sect."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan took the Qiankun bag given to him and opened it. Inside, he found two hundred spirit stones and some spiritual herbs.

Li Yuan took the Qiankun bag and then slowly said:

"Young man, do you not know that the senior brother you speak of is my son, Li Shouqian?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining nodded and then said:

"I am a disciple of the Hundred Beasts True Man. This time, I was entrusted by my senior brother, Li Shouqian. Rest assured, Master, Senior Brother Li is the master's personal disciple and is considered a true core member of our Medicine Sect."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and then took out ten spirit stones from his Qiankun bag, handing them to the disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Haha, young brother, since that's the case, then thank you very much." As he spoke, the spirit stone appeared in the hand of the Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator.

The cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining showed gratitude on his face when he saw Li Yuan give him a share of spirit stones, and then cupped his hands in thanks to Li Yuan.

"Thank you very much, Venerable Li. Rest assured, if my senior brother has any instructions, I will do my best to fulfill them."

Seeing that the Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator was so sensible, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction. After seeing the Medicine Sect disciple off, Li Yuan took the spirit stones and went to the courtyard where Liu Yue'er lived.

Liu Yue'er's eyes were still red and swollen until Li Yu walked into the courtyard.

"Moon, didn't I say that Shouqian must have a noble status in the Medicine Sect and won't be in any danger? It's a blessing for this kid that he can be favored by the Medicine Sect Master."

As he spoke, Li Yuan took out the Qiankun bag that Li Shouqian had brought back.

"Look, Yue'er, this is the cultivation supplies that Shouqian brought back for you from the Medicine Sect." Li Yuan then took out the Qiankun bag that Li Shouqian had brought.

After Liu Yue'er took the Qiankun bag, the sadness on her face faded slightly.

"Husband, how could you accept Shouqian's resources? He just entered the Medicine Sect and brought back so many spirit stones. What if this affects the boy's cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan gave a wry smile. Ever since Li Shouqian left, Liu Yue'er had been like this. Fortunately, the boy was sensible enough to send a letter to let him know that she was safe.

"Alright, Yue'er, next time this kid sends a message back, I'll return the spirit stone to him."

Meanwhile, in a mountain stream a thousand miles away, where clouds and mist swirl and the entire mountain is filled with spiritual energy, a crane occasionally flies overhead.

At this moment, a young man was perched atop the mountain, cultivating some mysterious and unpredictable technique. This man was none other than Li Shouqian, and standing beside him was an old man with a white beard, who looked at Li Shouqian with a satisfied expression.

"Haha, it really is this spirit. It has already recovered its cultivation level to the third level of Qi Refining in just three days. Given time, it will surely surpass me."

Soon, Li Shouqian, who was in the middle of cultivation, slowly stopped. Then, Li Shouqian slowly stood up and respectfully addressed the Hundred Beasts True Man:

"Master, I have already reached the third level of Qi Refining. Soon I will be able to step into the middle stage of Qi Refining and formally cultivate the Hundred Beasts Technique."

Upon hearing this, Master Baishou nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad. Let's go. Today I'll take you to get your identity token. Also, your residence is just beyond this peak. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask your master. Your master is at the top of the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Li Shouqian nodded respectfully. "Yes, Master." As he spoke, Master Baishou had already disappeared from the spot with Li Shouqian.

Upon returning to the Li family, Li Yuan informed Liu Yue'er before returning to his courtyard to cultivate. Now that he had broken ties with the Xu family, Li Yuan planned to give them a big surprise once the White Snake broke through.

Three months passed slowly. Today, while Li Yuan was cultivating on Bamboo Mountain, a sudden commotion on the mountain made him stop cultivating.

At this moment, Li Yuan slowly arrived at the top of Bamboo Mountain and saw the white snake rise into the air and roar towards the sky. Immediately, the scales on the white snake's body began to fall off, and the entire snake body began to mutate.

After another three incense sticks' worth of time, the white snake's scales had changed dramatically. The newly grown scales were sharper and tougher than before, and the white snake's eyes now held a cold glint.

After a long while, the white snake finally broke through completely and slowly transformed back into a white snake, returning to Li Yuan's body.

Seeing the white snake break through, Li Yuan prepared to test its speed. The white snake seemed to understand Li Yuan's intention. In a flash, it appeared directly on the other side of the bamboo mountain. This time, Li Yuan couldn't even see the white snake's shadow.

Now that the White Snake has broken through, it's time to give the Xu family a surprise.

Three days later, once the white snake's cultivation was completely stable, Li Yuan led the white snake towards Qingshan County. If he could not kill Xu Qingfeng of the Xu family on this trip, then the Xu family cultivators would not have an easy time either.
