From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal
Chapter 390 - 385: Array Dao Core Formation

Chapter 390: Chapter 385: Array Dao Core Formation

In a corner of Jade Dragon Pond, mist fills the air, lotuses bloom, utilizing a dam to separate an expansive fishpond, with cave mansions nestled on the shore.

The water waves are crystal clear, carrying a hint of coolness. Countless Green Jade Carp swim leisurely, with a Flood Dragon hidden deep within the pond, adding a rare touch of spirituality.

Li Quanyi walked towards this place, her white dress fluttering, her demeanor calm and cold, like a secluded lotus blooming in a deep valley, carrying a faint scent of ink, subtle fragrance lingering on her sleeves.

As she approached within a hundred miles of her own cave mansion, Li Quanqing naturally sensed her presence and immediately threw out the Golden Flame Tiger to welcome her into the array.

"Roar?"

The Golden Flame Tiger wobbled its fluffy big tail, momentarily confused, until it was kicked and reluctantly trotted out, its cries full of grievance.

Before long, the fur glistening like gold, the big tiger swayed its rear and trotted over, welcoming the guest in, its eyes blinking as if saying "Praise me."

Li Quanqing casually took out a fiery red elixir and tossed it into the cub’s mouth. Dan Patterns spread, emitting a spicy and stimulating scent, yet it suited its taste perfectly.

This was a Third Rank Elixir contributed by a Golden Core Sect after he broke through as a True Monarch, becoming a Nascent Soul ancestor, quite astonishingly precious.

Feeding it to a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast truly seemed extravagantly astonishing.

"Sit, have some tea first."

Li Quanqing, though curious why she sought him out, did not rush to ask, knowing she surely had a matter to discuss.

Even though he has now broken through to Nascent Soul, it doesn’t mean his relationships with these peers and family members have become distant.

On the contrary, Li Quanqing values these past friendships greatly.

After all, with his thousand years lifespan as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he will most likely witness these former friends and family members pass away one by one.

At that time, the world would be silent, perhaps without even a single person to speak to, too desolate—a lonely path of the Tao.

Eh, something seems off...

Recalling his Incense Fire Divine Tao, Li Quanqing suddenly realized, the deaths of these fellows seemed only a new beginning.

Perhaps even earlier than him, touching upon the mysterious Longevity Path.

He couldn’t help but imagine the scene, Li Kunli, Li Quanfu, Li Quanzhu, these fellows emitting divine light, mysteriously smiling as they witnessed him transcending tribulation to become immortal.

It was simply too unbearable to behold.

Li Quanqing shivered, forcing himself to forget these scenes, pointing with a finger, immediately boiling water in the air, cleaning the tea sets one by one.

"This is spiritual tea given to me by Taiyin True Monarch, said to be plucked from a Fourth Rank tea tree, stored for several thousand years. Try it and see how it tastes."

Li Quanqing took out a jade jar containing silvery needlelike buds, infused them with boiling water, instantly releasing a lasting tea aroma.

This aroma, although not intense, was very unique, unforgettable, as if drawing one into enlightenment, making the divine soul much more active.

Most peculiarly, as these tea leaves unfurled, brilliance blossomed in myriad colors, erupting from the cup, transforming into divine runes and imprinted there.

There was a black-and-white Tai Chi Diagram, like two Flood Dragons spiraling, as if evolving chaos of yin and yang.

Another leaf unveiled resplendent starlight, mysterious and unpredictable like an cosmic ocean, its rays sprinkling like star dust.

There was also a deep and rich blood-red glow, tinged with a hint of sanguine scent, yet it could rouse the blood of living beings, fostering a craving for powerful life force.

Of course, these are merely illusions, not real manifestations of Taoist rules, or it would be too astonishing, definitely belonging to legendary Immortal Medicine Immortal Roots.

Li Quanyi looked at these colorful visions, not overly surprised, feeling rather flamboyant.

No wonder it’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch, with a long lifespan and actually having time to indulge in such leisurely pursuits.

She took a gentle sip, the flavor was quite pleasant, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, the unique tastes blossoming successively before magically blending into one.

In the end, only an indescribably fresh tea fragrance remained on the tongue, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Li Quanqing similarly began to savor the tea, each sip’s taste different, each having its own distinct charm.

According to Taiyin True Monarch, this tea is named Hundred Flavor Tea Tree, said to encompass worldly flavors within a single cup.

"I originally did not want to disturb you, but the old clan leader persuaded me to come and ask you for something to preserve my life."

Warm tea entered her belly, leaving a fragrant trace, as Li Quanyi gradually opened her conversation, stating her purpose: "I wish to travel far from the family, to explore certain ancient relics, and seek my own Core Formation path."

"You’re also ready to form your core?"

Li Quanqing examined her cultivation, precisely Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, solid foundation, evidently at the peak, ready for breakthrough.

He paused for a moment: "Why not wait a while longer? I intend to visit other Nascent Soul True Monarchs to acquire several Five Elements Golden Core Pills, no need for risk."

In fact, upon learning of his successful Nascent Soul formation and unclear relations with Four Seas Sect, many Nascent Soul Sects from the East Sea had already sent congratulatory messages.

Among them, the Nascent Soul Clan, Tian An Fang Family, which raised the Fourth Rank Longevity Turtle, even directly gifted a Gold Element Golden Core Pill as tribute.

They should have conducted thorough research, knowing that Li Fugui faces a Core Formation level barrier and happens to be a Metal Spirit Root, now having taken the Golden Core Pill, entering deep retreat.

"No need, my path is through array foundation establishment, forming my core requires understanding of arrays, thus less reliance on external items."

Li Quanyi shook her head, rejecting, not feeling regretful.

Li Quanqing recalled that the mysterious elder, an ancient artifact spirit she carried, was indeed reasonable, so he ceased further persuasion.

After contemplating for a moment, he retrieved an item that had been dust-laden for a long time: "What the old clan leader mentioned should be this item, capable of serving as your life-preserving foundation."

Li Quanqing took out the Green Tide Pearl, crystal clear, seemingly containing an azure sea within.

Currently, Li Quanyi is the only water spirit root cultivator within the family practicing the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill.

With her Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, refining this pearl, she could achieve power comparable to a Golden Core cultivator using the divine skill "Boundless Azure Sea."

"So it’s this item..."

Li Quanyi frowned, prepared to refuse.

According to the millennia-old family rules, only the Li Family Patriarch has the right to inherit this Green Tide Pearl as a strange treasure.

"Take it; with my current cultivation, fame, and status, what’s a mere pearl compared?"

In the end, Li Quanqing still handed the Green Tide Pearl to her, also teaching the Golden Core Divine Power "Boundless Azure Sea," allowing battle beyond realms with the power of the sea.

"I hope she succeeds..."

Li Quanqing watched Li Quanyi depart, leaving Qingyu Cave Heaven behind, heading to inherit the relic of the Ancient Array Dao.

What the Li Family lacks most now is a Golden Core cultivator. Otherwise, even occupying the Endless Sea, there’s no one to defend it.

Li Quanqing expected to spend peaceful days concentrating on Heavenly River Scripture, cultivating Black Tortoise Divine Light.

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhao Qian from Longevity Path suddenly sent word, congratulating him for completing Nascent Soul formation, recognizing him as a Great Cultivator of the Human World.

At the same time, inviting him to travel to Central State Continent, to witness local customs and share precious experiences about a Void Beast advancing to Fourth Rank.

The invitation was sincere, truly tempting.
