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

After a while, Li Yuan returned to the canyon. As he went deeper, he tried his best to remain silent.

After an incense stick's time, Li Yuangang stopped at the spot where he had discovered the Moonflower Dew.

Two figures were discussing something ahead. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the two figures were Wang Quan and Zhang Fan. Seeing this, Li Yuan became even more certain of his previous guess.

However, Zhang Fan, being a scion of a prominent family, was quickly discovered as soon as Li Yuan entered. He looked at Wang Quan and said:

"Haha, Captain Wang, it seems that you and I aren't the only ones who know its value, don't you think, Fellow Daoist Li?"

Seeing that he had been discovered, Li Yuan slowly emerged from behind the stone wall.

"Oh? Two fellow Daoists here too, what a coincidence."

Although Li Yuan appeared, he was still some distance away from the two. At this distance, if the two suddenly attacked, Li Yuan could still deal with them with ease.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan looked at Li Yuan.

"Now that Fellow Daoist Li is here, let's redistribute the spoils."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Wang Quan.

Wang Quan nodded, then slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think is the most appropriate way to divide it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan slowly said:

"Haha, I arrived last, so I'll take 30%, and you two can split the remaining 70%, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan looked at Zhang Fan standing to the side.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Li's suggestion?" The atmosphere among the three became subtle as they spoke.

Zhang Fan seemed to have understood Wang Quan's meaning and began to gradually align himself with Li Yuan.

Realizing something was wrong, Li Yuan glanced at the two of them and immediately released the white snake.

"Haha, fellow Daoists, my spirit beast and I will only take 30% in total. Since you have agreed, let's begin the division."

The moment the white snake appeared, the two immediately stopped. Sensing its presence, their demeanor instantly changed. Wang Quan, befitting his position as manager of Xiuzhen Pavilion, followed Li Yuan's words and slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist Li is right. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. In that case, let's divide this Moonstone into three parts."

As they were talking, three crystal-clear jade stones came toward Li Fei. Li Yuan took the jade stones and this time he did not suspect that the two of them had something going on.

Li Yuan released the white snake first to intimidate the two men and to avoid conflict. If he had waited until they started fighting before releasing the white snake, it would have been a fight to the death, especially since the five-person team still had a mission to complete.

It is likely that after realizing Li Yuan's own strength, the two would no longer dare to act rashly.

After obtaining the Moonstone, Li Yuan returned to the camp first. Although he didn't know how to use the Moonstone, he could guess from the appearance of the two people that it must be very precious.

If he hadn't noticed the two's unusual behavior, he probably would have missed this treasure. There are countless rare treasures in the cultivation world, but no one will tell you about their characteristics. Various powerful families and immortal clans keep information about countless rare treasures secret. Even if you have a heaven-defying opportunity to obtain a treasure, if you don't know its uses, it's no different from a piece of trash.

The Li family, having managed their business for so long, only knows about the common spiritual herbs on the market. Apart from obtaining some spiritual herb seeds from the annihilation of the Qian family, they have gained nothing else in terms of cultivation knowledge.

After obtaining the Moonstone, Li Yuan had speculated about its uses, such as condensing Moon Dew. However, these were just Li Yuan's guesses, and the item still needed to be sent home for his family to study.

The next day, Wang Quan and Zhang Fan greeted Li Yuan warmly as if nothing had happened. Li Yuan, in turn, responded to them in kind.

However, today's mission is not so simple. At least a few people need to travel another twenty miles forward and determine whether there are a large number of monsters gathering nearby.

Of course, the group didn't mind turning any lone monsters into their battle merits. After traveling for a whole noon, they had roughly surveyed the surrounding area. Although there were monsters nearby, they couldn't form a monster horde.

After the situation was clear, everyone began to head back to deliver the orders.

After returning to the camp, Li Yuan wrote to Li Daqiang, asking him to come to Longling County. Although he didn't know how long he would stay there, the development of the Li family could not stop. After using up the Moon Dew, Li Yuan planned to take all the remaining Moon Dew home.

Back at his residence, Zhou Tian was relieved to see Li Yuan return. Regardless of their friendship, Zhou Tian knew he would not have survived without Li Yuan's protection.

After glancing at Zhou Tian, ​​Li Yuan took out the Moonflower Dew he had obtained and then looked at Zhou Tian.

"Swallowing this should help you advance to the third level of Qi Refining." After saying that, he handed Zhou Tian a jade bottle containing half a bottle of Moon Essence Dew.

Then he slowly said:

"I'll consume it after I finish my seclusion." After saying this, Li Yuan released the white snake, swallowed half a bottle of Moon Dew, and began his seclusion.

As soon as the half-bottle of Moon Dew entered his stomach, an extremely abundant energy began to permeate every part of Li Yuan's body. Although this energy was enormous, it was very easy to digest. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Yuan had completely refined the half-bottle of Moon Dew.

At the same time, the magical power in Li Yuan's dantian was also filled and began to compress.

However, this half bottle was not enough for Li Yuan to break through. So Li Yuan took out a whole bottle of Moon Dew from his Qiankun bag, swallowed it all, and then continued to circulate the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique to refine it.

As time went by, Li Yuan's aura gradually increased, and the barrier in his dantian began to crumble under the impact of his magical power.

After a long while, with a cracking sound, Li Yuan's aura finally reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After a while, once he had stabilized his aura, Li Yuan slowly stood up. At this moment, Li Yuan looked at the dozen or so bottles of Moon Dew that remained in his storage bag. With this Moon Dew, the Li family's strength should be able to rise to another level.

After Zhou Tian saw that Li Yuan had successfully entered the eighth level of Qi Refining, he also swallowed the Moon Dew and entered a state of cultivation.

Li Yuan took a day to break through, while Zhou Tian successfully broke through to the third level of Qi Refining in just three hours, and even reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining before stopping.

Three days later, as Li Yuan was strolling through the market set up in Shuanglong Pass, a message on his communication jade pendant led him to a small alley.

Li Daqiang looked at Li Yuan, who had broken through to the next level, with a face full of joy. He then slowly said:

"Yuan'er, is there something you need from me?"

Li Yuan took out five bottles of Moon Dew and handed them to Li Daqiang, then also gave him the Moon Stone.

"Father, this Moon Dew can improve cultivation. After you take it back, distribute it to the family members for cultivation, and put the rest into the family treasury."

As for this moonstone, go back and study it to see if it can collect moon dew. At the same time, secretly inquire about the function of the moonstone.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Li Yuan slowly said:

"By the way, Father, please keep a close eye on the Xu family's movements. If the Xu family makes any moves, please send someone to let me know."

Li Daqiang didn't ask any questions. He seriously remembered what Li Yuan said before slowly leaving.

However, Li Yuan was not at ease. He secretly instructed the white snake to send Li Daqiang back to Qingshan County before slowly returning to his residence to continue his seclusion.
