On this day, a light rain fell over the Azure Cloud region.
Countless people in the city queuing to receive the thin porridge bestowed by the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion, all looked towards the Prince's Mansion in the outskirts.
There, a red pillar of light descended from the sky, a massive spiritual formation enveloped the Prince's Mansion, and four figures, emanating powerful auras and possessing Nascent Souls, floated in the air above.
No one knew what was happening at the Prince's Mansion.
Feng Chunlin floated above the Prince's Mansion. The wrinkles on his face were disappearing, his silver hair was regaining its vitality like a withered tree encountering spring, and his eyes glistened with tears.
Thunder roared.
He had been a dutiful son all his life, never daring to look his father in the eye, nor to disobey him in the slightest.
Today, Below him, in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, sat his father, his expression still calm, his appearance unchanged, yet utterly unrecognizable to him.
Behind him was all of Azure Cloud region, the Azure Cloud region suffering from a great calamity!
No one in the Azure Cloud region dared to touch the Prince's Mansion; that would be tantamount to betraying the imperial dynasty. The only one who could stop all this was him.
"Father, please forgive your unfilial son!"
...
[Your descendant, Li Tianniu, has achieved success in practicing the "Dual Cultivation Techniques of the Bedchamber Arts" with his Dao Companion and has impregnated his Dao Companion, Han Qingqing, with a son...]
The events at the Prince's Mansion were kept so secret that even the people in the city could only glimpse a small part of it. The Li family knew nothing at all.
At this time, Li Wei's gaze was fixed on the children heading towards Hundred Mountains.
He was also paying attention to the family news.
"Finally pregnant?"
Li Wei adjusted the view slightly and saw the handsome man of the Li family joyfully embracing his wife, while over thirty girls chattered and laughed in the courtyard. A smile appeared on his face.
"Charge forth, Li Tianniu! The great task of continuing the family line rests on your shoulders!"
It was no wonder Li Wei entrusted this important mission to Li Tianniu.
This guy has two traits: [Attracting Bees and Butterflies] and [Affectionate]. Though it's called "affectionate," Li Wei thinks "Shameless Flirt" would be more fitting. Compared to Li Tianniu, the other children seem downright indifferent to romance.
The other children of the fourth generation have been through too much. They prefer to focus on cultivation, and they're a bit wild and crazy. Don't get your hopes up about them too much.
As for the fifth generation... there's Li Kuangtu and Li Kuangren. Li Kuangming has become a live-in son-in-law, working on continuing the Gu family line.
Li Kuanghua? She's currently in a gravity chamber at the Li family residence, frantically cultivating to break through to the Golden Core stage.
And don't even get me started on those two monks. They don't believe in Buddha or demons, but their personalities are like Buddhas, while their actions follow demonic principles.
As for Li Changsheng... a couple of days ago, this guy saw Li Tianniu's confidantes fighting over his affections, and then he saw Li Tianniu spending the whole day with them, coaxing and comforting them one after another. Even now, he still hasn't recovered from the emotional scar.
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, has returned to the Thunderfire Demon Cave, met the Demon Lord, and is currently using her medical skills to heal him.]
[Your descendant, Li Yaozu, is consuming various elixirs in an attempt to achieve a breakthrough.]
[Li Yunlin has returned to the Skyveil Sect...]
Originally intending to turn back and protect the descendants heading to the Hundred Mountains, Li Wei paused as he looked at the Li family's buildings.
It was now [Year 128 of the Li Family].
The Li family brought back a vast amount of resources and began extensive construction, transforming the family's appearance.
Spiritual fields and medicinal gardens were everywhere. For some reason, the cultivators were all busy refining talismans, formations, and the like, or else a large number of them were engaged in construction. The entire population of Green Valley Town was trying every means to cultivate; they could obtain the spiritual medicines plundered by the Li family, but the price was that they had to work for the Li family.
At this point, production had become the primary driving force of the Li family.
On the bustling streets, Li Kuangtu was running around with Qingyu.
"Family Head, I... it's just a leg injury. There's no need for such a precious elixir."
At that moment, Li Kuangtu took out an Eighth-Grade healing elixir and fed it to a Qi Refining stage citizen. Seeing the citizen's gratitude and shame, he said with wide eyes, "What do you mean 'precious'? Nothing is more precious than your leg. What if you're left with a lasting injury? Besides, you have children to support. Alright, alright, go home and rest for a few days. We'll talk about the rest when you've fully recovered."
He continued with Qingyu to another street, where a magnificent building stood tall, but it was wrapped in white silk.
Upon inquiring, Li Kuangtu learned that it was a team from the Black Blood Hall who had been out gathering materials from the family mines to reinforce the city walls. Over a dozen of them had been killed by wandering Wu Clan members.
He bowed towards the spirit tablets. "Rest in peace," he said. "Please be assured that I, Li Kuangtu, will properly care for your widows and orphans. The annual spirit stones and heavenly treasures they receive will be several times greater than your salary."
Then, with the grateful expressions of the Li family subordinates, he went to the Dawn headquarters and personally led a team to charge out.
"Whoever killed our people, the entire Green Valley town will unite to punish them, and my Li family is no exception!"
"Let's go!"
"Make those Wu Clan barbarians pay with their lives!"
Originally, it was just to punish a small tribe of a little over a hundred people, and Li Kuangtu only called upon a dozen or so men. But as he led them out of the family's territory, the dozen became over a hundred, then swelled to over a thousand. If he hadn't stopped them, the force would likely have reached ten thousand.
"Good lad."
Li Wei watched Li Kuangtu's growing prestige and gradually broke into a smile. No wonder the Primordial Blood Tree had said he was a very qualified Family Head.
Li Kuangtu had now adapted to the position of Family Head. And thanks to him, with the Li family united, their infrastructure development had become extremely rapid.
