Establishing a Clan in the Eastern Wilderness: A Daily Divination, Cultivating Longevity in a Grotto

Behind the mountain, beside the Lingquan Well.

The Pegasus was munching on the tender spiritual herbs that Li Changle had specially gathered from the foot of the mountain, its wings folded at its sides, its fur as white as silk. Upon seeing Li Changsheng approach, it immediately raised its head, snorted, and nuzzled against him affectionately.

Li Changsheng rubbed its head, poured out a Wind-Controlling Pill from the jade bottle, and held it in his palm.

"Little White, come on, eat it."

Xiao Bai sniffed the pale blue pill, seemingly sensing an aura similar to its own. Its eyes brightened, and with a flick of its tongue, it swallowed the pill.

The medicinal effects dissipated.

Xiao Bai trembled and then closed its eyes. Li Changsheng could feel that a long-dormant power within it was being slowly awakened by the elixir.

He didn't rush to feed it a second one. He simply stood quietly by its side, placing his hand on Little White's neck, using his magic to soothe and guide it.

An hour later, Xiaobai opened her eyes.

Those originally bright black eyes now had a faint bluish tinge.

Li Changsheng took out another Wind-Controlling Pill.

And so it goes.

It took a full day and night to refine the four Wind-Controlling Pills.

When the medicinal power of the last pill was fully integrated into Xiaobai's body, it suddenly raised its head and let out a long hiss—the hiss was different from the usual one, clear and melodious, with a faint ancient and noble rhythm.

Immediately, the pair of translucent thin wings on both sides of its back suddenly burst forth with a dazzling blue spiritual light!

Within the radiant light, the thin wings grew, extended, and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye. What was originally just a nascent wing membrane now became tough and lustrous, with each wing bone clearly defined and the edges subtly swirling with wind patterns.

Xiao Bai's physique also quietly grew taller during this process, with his limbs becoming longer and stronger, and his neck lines becoming more elegant and smooth.

It broke through.

Mid-stage of first order.

The way it looked at Li Changsheng, besides the usual intimacy and dependence, also carried an almost instinctive, adoring look towards the one who awakened its bloodline.

"Go fly." Li Changsheng gently patted its neck.

With a flap of its wings and a light step on its four hooves, Little White transformed into a streak of white light and shot straight into the sky!

This time, it's no longer the kind of gliding close to the ground, but a real—soaring through the air.

It hovered over the back mountain, sometimes darting forward, sometimes hovering, and sometimes making various skillful aerial turns. Its posture was smooth and graceful, like a white lightning bolt or a free-flowing cloud.

"Brother! Little White can fly! It can fly!"

Li Changle had somehow run to the back hill, her little face tilted back, her eyes wide with excitement, jumping up and down. Hu Xiaoyue followed behind her, equally mesmerized, her little face full of wonder.

"Brother! I want to ride! I want to ride Little White!" Li Changle tugged at Li Changsheng's clothes and pleaded.

Li Changsheng smiled and lifted her onto the horse's back: "Be careful, don't hold on too tightly, it will be uncomfortable."

"Okay!" Li Changle replied excitedly, then bent down and hugged Xiaobai's neck. "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, take me for a flight! Just one flight!"

Little White snorted, seemingly helpless yet also indulging its young master. It spread its wings lightly, carrying Li Changle steadily into the air, circling slowly low over the back mountain.

Li Changsheng watched as his younger sister's silvery laughter filled the mountains and forests, a slight smile playing on his lips. Then, he withdrew his gaze, his expression gradually hardening, and turned to walk towards the courtyard where his grandmother lived.

Push the door open and enter.

The grandmother sat by the bed, gently wiping the mysterious woman's forehead with a damp cloth. The woman remained unconscious, the horrifying scars on her face appearing even more grotesque in the dim light, but her breathing was much more steady and long than when she had just been rescued.

"Still not awake," Grandmother sighed. "But his breathing is steady, so he should be out of danger. I don't know how much suffering this child has endured..."

Li Changsheng walked to the bedside and quietly observed the woman for a moment. He could not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from her; she seemed to be just an ordinary mortal woman. But the divination in the Heavenly Book did not lie: "Her fate is chaotic, and she is entangled in karma," and she could even enable Yun Qilang to "rise to prominence and defy fate"—this woman was definitely no ordinary person.

However, his opportunity has now been intercepted by himself.

Whether it will bring good fortune or misfortune remains to be seen.

"Grandmother, please take good care of her," Li Changsheng said softly.

"We're family, why are you being so formal?" Grandmother waved her hand. "Go on, get on with your business."

Li Changsheng nodded and left the room.

at the same time.

[Family luck value changed to 900/1000]

During this period of time.

In addition to the fortune he gained from refining the Qi Condensation Pill, ten more Qi Refining Clan members were added to the clan, both on and off the mountain.

of course.

The reason they were able to climb to 900 is partly because Flying Horse broke through to the mid-stage of the first rank, which means that the Li family now has mid-stage Qi Refining combat power!

The time to turn the page of the Heavenly Book is not far off.

But the opportunity lies at the foot of the mountain.

...

...

By evening, Xiaobai had fully adapted to its new abilities and landed steadily with the still-excited Li Changle on its back.

Li Changsheng summoned his brother-in-law, Chen Wenyuan, to the council hall.

"Brother-in-law, I want to remove those nails outside the mountain gate," Li Changsheng said bluntly.

Chen Wenyuan's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Is the clan leader referring to the Cheng family's ambush?"

"Exactly." Li Changsheng nodded. "Being watched all the time is like having a thorn in my side, making it hard to eat or sleep. Now that Xiaobai can truly fly and its mobility has greatly increased, it's the perfect time to make a move."

Chen Wenyuan pondered for a moment: "The clan leader is absolutely right. However... we still don't know how many people the enemy has ambushed, or their fighting strength. Launching an attack rashly could be risky."

"Therefore, we must wait for the right time," Li Changsheng said. "We must wait until a thick fog rises in the mountains. At that time, the two of us will ride Little White out of the mountains quietly, taking advantage of the unexpected to strike with deadly precision."

A glint flashed in Chen Wenyuan's eyes, and he was about to agree when he suddenly remembered something and said:

"Clan leader, Chang Le recently crafted a low-grade first-tier 'Minor Concealment Array.' I saw her test it in the back mountain. Although it's just a simple array setup, it should be able to trap a Qi Refining early-stage cultivator for a short while. If we take this array with us when we attack..."

"Oh?" Li Changsheng's eyes lit up. He had never underestimated his little sister's talent in array formation, but he didn't expect her to be able to independently refine array plates so quickly.

"With the aid of a tracking array, our chances of success can increase by at least 30%." After a moment's thought, he decided, "If we want to capture them all in one fell swoop and prevent any from escaping back to report, my little sister's array skills are indispensable. Let's bring her along too."

Chen Wenyuan was taken aback: "Chang Le is only seven years old..."

"She is a Qi Refining Level 2 array master." Li Changsheng's tone was calm but undeniable. "Brother-in-law, in our Li family, there are no children who can forever hide under the wings of their elders. Moreover, in this battle, we will protect her in a safe place, only using arrays to assist her, and not letting her fight head-on."

Chen Wenyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Yes. I'll go find Chang Le right away and tell her to make preparations."

"No rush." ​​Li Changsheng looked out the window at the deepening night. "We still need to wait for a fog."
