Chapter 498: Han Shizhen (I)
Li Yuanjiao had been cultivating on Mount Qingdu for more than half a year now, and though his cultivation had improved, he was still far from breaking through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. After all, the Foundation Establishment Realm was unlike the Qi Cultivation Realm; it was common for breakthroughs to take decades.
"Father still hasn't set off… He always worries so much and insists on making sure everything is well before he's willing to leave," Li Yuanjiao murmured to himself with a soft sigh.
Li Xuanxuan has been preparing for more than half a year, yet still has not departed. Li Xijun did not rush him and just waited patiently instead. After all, collecting cold water was not urgent, and pushing too hard on the matter might rouse suspicion.
With Li Qinghong in seclusion and no one else guarding the family, Li Yuanjiao could not afford to immerse himself too deeply in his cultivation. He would occasionally emerge and practice his spells and swordsmanship.
While reading a sword technique manual, he saw Li Wushao descending from the sky, riding the wind and all clad in black.
After Li Wushao had gratefully received the Clear Cloud Elk Fruit from Li Yuanjiao, he consumed it before resuming his cultivation. Two dark shadows had already appeared underneath his black robe. Likely, within a year or so, the two hooks would eventually grow out.
"Family Head, two people landed in front of the mountain. They say they're from the Han Family of Dongliu Island," Li Wushao reported.
Li Yuanjiao was slightly taken aback as he asked, "The Han Family of Dongliu…?"
He had heard of the Han Family before. The Foundation Establishment Realm demon creatures the Li Family used in their rituals now were often captured around Dongliu Island. Li Yuanjiao had also spent some time on the island before.
