Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 236 - 219 Chi Wei, The Man (One In Two)

"I dare not forget,"

Li Tongya nodded gently, then saw Xiao Yuansi put down his teacup and said warmly,

"The two families should set a marriage alliance, support each other in watch and help. Does the Li Family still have unmarried members of the direct lineage?"

"Indeed, there are."

Li Tongya replied respectfully, using mana to send a message outside to Li Xuanxuan,

"Bring everyone from Yuanyun's generation up, except for Qinghong and Yuanyun."

Li Xuanxuan hurried off to prepare, while Xiao Yuansi carefully examined him and chuckled,

"If I'm not mistaken, your Immortal Foundation was cultivated using the 'River Qi Decision' obtained from my family, aptly named 'Vast Sea.'"

"Exactly."

Li Tongya answered with a bow as Xiao Yuansi turned serious and said,

"The matter of the Immortal Foundation is of great significance. Since you have established your Immortal Foundation, it's only fitting that I impart to you some advice."

"Senior, please speak!"

Taking Li Tongya's solemn response seriously, Xiao Yuansi sipped his tea and said in a low voice,

"'Vast Sea' and our 'Elder of the Creek' come from the same lineage. There's much connection between such Immortal Foundations, and you must be extremely cautious when encountering Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivators of this kind!"

Li Tongya lifted his head, his thoughts racing as he asked,

"Are there any taboos?"

Xiao Yuansi nodded slightly and continued,

"'Vast Sea' and the likes of 'Elder of the Creek' were referred to as Taoist participants by the ancient Immortal Path, or same cauldron by fiends and evil paths. There's much connection between such Immortal Foundations, allowing for mutual completion. If you encounter someone with ill intentions, they would most likely…"

He paused, struggling to find the words,

"Dig out the Immortal Foundation and consume it for completion…"

"Consume it."

Li Tongya fell silent for a while, then inquired in a low voice, 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"May I ask the senior, how frequent are such occurrences?"

"Not very,"

Xiao Yuansi shook his head and explained,

"For one, this method carries risks, likely causing one to become slightly mad. The counterpart elements are not easy to find, and the consumer must have a substantial level of Alchemy Dao cultivation. Moreover, though one's cultivation level may soar after consumption, and the Immortal Foundation becomes more wondrous, it confines the person to Foundation Establishment, making it difficult to cultivate Zifu; thus, only those with no hope of breakthrough and nowhere to turn would attempt it."

Li Tongya sighed deeply and asked Xiao Yuansi,

"May I inquire with the senior, which are the counterpart Immortal Foundations for 'Vast Sea'?"

Xiao Yuansi gathered his sleeves and answered,

"The first is called 'Long Cloud Darkness,' the second is 'Vast Sea,' the third is 'Elder of the Creek,' the fourth is 'Mid-Mountain Abode,' and the fifth is 'Regretful River Departure.'"

Seeing that Li Tongya had diligently noted this down, Xiao Yuansi used mana to send a message,

"These Immortal Foundations are also coveted by Zifu Monks. However, Zifu Monks seeking an Immortal Foundation would start nurturing the Qi Cultivator from scratch, implanting laws and cultivating carefully, in order to use it effectively. We don't need to worry about that."

"Understood,"

Li Tongya nodded in response, understanding why Chi Jing was harmed by the Zifu of the Green Pond Sect. He sighed softly and said sarcastically,

"Foundation Establishment Cultivators snatch others' Immortal Foundations to greatly enhance their cultivation, yet find it difficult to break through to Zifu. I suppose Zifu Monks who seize Immortal Foundations also suffer from their own unspeakable troubles!"

Xiao Yuansi nodded slightly, his tone becoming even more cautious as he discussed the topic, whispering,

"As long as they are well-prepared, the Immortal Foundations captured by Zifu Monks, although not as perfect as those cultivated personally, can significantly shorten the time taken for cultivation. Consequently, all Zifu covet them..."

As they spoke softly, Li Xuanxuan had already brought people up, with Li Yuanjiao leading Li Qingxiao, and the Dou Clan's lady following with Li Yuanping in her arms.

Li Tongya said with a smile,

"These are the youngsters from my family's Yuanyun generation. I hope the senior will take a look."

The two children tightly watched Xiao Yuansi with a slight tension. Li Yuanjiao stepped forward and respectfully said,

"Junior Li Yuanjiao, greetings to the senior!"

Xiao Yuansi glanced at him, his eyes immediately resting on Li Yuanjiao at the forefront. Seeing that he was only seventeen or eighteen and already possessed the Fetal Breathing of the fifth layer, he nodded and commented,

"Li Yuanjiao, indeed a good name."

Li Tongya replied from the side,

"There was an eldest son in the direct lineage, but he fell victim to the Yu Family..."

"Yu Family."

Xiao Yuansi stroked his chin and expressed his sympathy before whispering,

"I've heard about them in Li Xia County. When my clan uncle reached Foundation Establishment, the Yu Family also sent their congratulations. Rumor has it they are domineering and venomous, and I can see why."

After shaking his head, he brought the conversation back and said with a smile,

"It's just that nobility has no eligible daughters for me to broach the subject. My family has an unmarried direct daughter; would it be fitting to match her with Yuanjiao, brother Tongya?"

"How can we possibly agree!"

Li Tongya was startled by Xiao Yuansi's sudden marriage proposal, and he said sternly,

"A marriage alliance is already looking up to your family from our end, we simply cannot agree to this…"

"Eh."

Xiao Yuansi, with a brimming smile, persisted,

"I see Qingxiao is only three or five years old, not yet mature. Waiting a few more years won't be quite late. There's no rush."

Li Tongya waved off the younger generation and bowed deeply, insisting,

"A direct daughter marrying my family's Yuanjiao truly is inappropriate! I beg the senior to retract his offer!"

"Brother Tongya, rest assured! The old ancestor favors your family; I'll handle this, and there will be no problems on the Xiao Family's end."

Xiao Yuansi still wanted to persuade, but Li Tongya remained bowed, his voice resolute,

"Tongya understands the senior's kindness, but my Li Family cannot accept it. Please retract your offer!"

Only then did Xiao Yuansi pause in surprise, pondered for a moment as if understanding something, and whispered,

"It was my lack of consideration, brother Tongya, please forgive me."

"Senior is too courteous!"

Xiao Yuansi twirled his beard, continuing,

"How about this? My family has a direct lineage concubine-born daughter, named Xiao Guiluan. She has excellent character and appearance; a perfect match for Yuanjiao."
