My Dao is Spending Spirit Stone: Our Sect Leader Is too OP and Rich!-Chapter 31: My Sect’s Disciples are Impressive.

Gu Mei walked back to her room, while Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai walked over to Li Shen. Ye Fa saw Gu Mei, but she didn't dare to ask her why she did that—she just looked down, feeling discouraged.

"What happened to Senior Gu Mei, Sect Leader?" asked Xiao Bai.

Li Shen shook his head. He didn't need to explain Gu Mei's concerns to them. The most important thing for Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai was to practice and cultivate well.

"It's nothing. Have you read the technique scroll I gave you?" asked Li Shen.

"I've read it. I only understand some parts, not all of it," explained Xiao Bai.

"Me too," explained Ziyue.

"There's no need to rush, you can learn it later while cultivating," said Li Shen.

The man patted his magic pouch and let a Celestial level spirit stone float in front of him. Li Shen aimed the spirit stone at Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai's heads.

Starting tonight, they would receive additional training to help them break through, at least to the Foundation Establishment Peak. That way, they would be able to understand the other parts of the fourth-level technique.

Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai looked up and saw clearly that the celestial spirit stone above their heads was continuously emitting abundant spiritual energy, which was only being consumed by them.

"Why are you giving us celestial spirit stones, Master Li?" asked Ziyue.

"You must quickly reach the Foundation Establishment Peak and learn the technique I gave you. I can help you with cultivation pills, but that won't be good for your meridians," replied Li Shen.

"The best option is to cultivate using spiritual energy," he continued.

"With the help of the celestial-level spirit stones, you won't have to worry about spiritual energy supply. In fact, it will help you progress faster," explained Li Shen.

Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai smiled, then clasped their hands together and bowed their heads in respect to Li Shen. Li Shen nodded, allowing them to focus on cultivating in peace.

The two sat cross-legged, facing each other. Li Shen asked them to continue cultivating for the next two weeks. They were lucky! They had passed Qi Condensation and completely detached from mortal desires—eating and resting.

That way, they could continue cultivating using the abundant spiritual energy from the celestial spirit stone Li Shen had given them. They were confident that they could break through to the Foundation Establishment Peak in less than a month.

"Hwaaah!"

"I'm going to visit Ruo Fei. If anything happens, I'll return, Li Shen replied.

Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai remained silent, obeyed the order to immediately cultivate. Li Shen sighed and shook his head, their determination in the cultivation world was truly peerless.

"Senior Li," Ye Fa greeted.

"What is it, Ye Fa?" Li Shen asked.

"What exactly happened to Gu Mei?" Ye Fa asked curiously.

"Hmm... I was just showing her the difference in our abilities."

"What?" Ye Fa was shocked.

"She might be a little shaken by what I said earlier. But it's okay, it's for her own good."

"What exactly did you show her?" Ye Fa asked curiously.

Li Shen smiled. He tapped his magic pouch again and took out a Heaven Trampling Pill, a 10th-grade pill. Ye Fa was shocked, his eyes wide, and he fainted at that moment. Li Shen saw Ye Fa's reaction, shook his head, and focused his eyes on his 10th-grade pill.

"Why is everyone reacting like this? It's just a normal pill."

"Forget about it."

"She'll definitely look for me when she wakes up. I'd better go see Ruo Fei."

He put the pill back and flew back to the third pavilion. Li Shen's return to that place was noticed by several Forest Leaf Sect disciples. They were still stunned, unable to believe that they had seen the true form of a 10th-level heavenly pill.

"I-It's a 10th-grade pill. I was right, wasn't I?" asked another disciple.

"That's right. The fluctuations in spiritual energy are very dominant. It is indeed a 10th-grade pill."

"WAAAH! We have a sect leader who can refine a 10th-grade pill!" shouted one of them, startling the others who weren't paying attention.

"WHAT?! A 10th-grade pill?!"

[Whirlwind Siege Technique!]

Xiao Bai placed his palms on the ground, bringing forth a large whirlwind capable of pulling anything nearby. Lucky! Thanks to Li Shen's protection, no one else was affected.

"Now, I'll try combining them!" Xiao Bai said firmly.

[God Tree Slashing Wind!]

Both of Xiao Bai's hands glowed white, then he swung both hands sideways into the first technique. White wind slashes shot into the vortex, creating the effect of hundreds of wind slashes that were far more powerful. That would be his ultimate technique.

The wind slashes struck Li Shen's protective barrier, but due to the power gap between them, the attack had no effect whatsoever.

"Good, Xiao Bai. Now, steady your breathing," Li Shen requested, and Xiao Bai nodded in understanding.

'That power... is at least unmatched at the same cultivation stage,' Li Shen explained.

"Now it's your turn, Ziyue."

"Alright. I won't lose to Bai'er," declared Hao Ziyue, full of enthusiasm.

[Hun Mountain Light Sword]

A golden magic circle rune appeared behind Ziyue, with many small circle runes inside it. She had activated a third-level technique, allowing hundreds of light swords to shoot forward. But Ziyue wasn't done yet.

[Mountain Piercing Light Technique]

The second technique condensed hundreds of swords into one large sword behind her back, which floated in the air. Ziyue's hands were aimed forward to destroy Li Shen's protective wall—their training target.

The giant sword collided with Li Shen's protective wall, then exploded on Ziyue's command. Surprisingly, the explosion of the giant sword created an effect of hundreds of magic swords being released.

"Condensing hundreds of swords into one giant sword, then separating them again with an explosion. Her ability is amazing," said Li Shen.

Still, Ziyue and Xiao Bai's abilities were not enough to destroy Li Shen's magic shield, not even scratching the wall. Even so, Li Shen admitted he was impressed.

"Your energy control is amazing; I never imagined an attack like that before," explained Li Shen.

"How about it? Are we ready to go to Huang Valley Test?" asked Xiao Bai.

"With your abilities, I think you can compete with Foundation Establishment practitioners from other sects," revealed Li Shen, causing Xiao Bai to laugh happily.

While Li Shen was training them, he looked ahead when he sensed an energy aura approaching the Azure Pillar Sect. It was Li Xun.

Li Shen waved his hand, allowing Li Xun to come visit. She and the three elders landed in the front yard of the sect, immediately bowing their heads in respect to Li Shen.

"Do you want to visit your mother, Xun'er?" asked Li Shen.

"Yes, Father. However, I also bring good news," said Li Xun.

The woman patted her magic pouch, pulling out an invitation token that was solely intended for the Li Family to attend an auction in Qing City, the Palace Auction.

Li Xun handed the token to Li Shen. It wasn't just an invitation; there was also a list of items to be auctioned there. The top three items were not made public.

"What are the top three items?" asked Li Shen.

"I heard that the three items are the Earth-Shattering Spear, Rain Pearl Essence Liquid, and an 8th-grade pill."

Li Shen smiled broadly, "Interesting."
