Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 267 - 273: Harvest
```
"But fortunately, with this Vitality Fruit Tree, this trip isn't without gains," Li Zhirui turned to look at the Spirit Plant that was flourishing and towering.
"But given its enormous size, there's no way to take it back to the family," Li Shiqing said helplessly, which was also the reason the Huo Family had to leave it behind.
"Uncle needn't worry, I have a Spirit Plant Jade Token that can barely contain it."
The Li family had once acquired a Spirit Plant Jade Token, which was now placed in a Spirit Cave brimming with Spiritual Energy to accelerate the cultivation of some precious Spirit Plants, such as Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicine and Golden Ganoderma, among others.
Although this method isn't as effective as planting directly in the Spirit Cave due to the lesser density of Spiritual Energy, it allows for easy movement. Should the family encounter any crisis, they can directly pack up the Jade Token without fearing damage to the Spiritual Medicine.
And the Spirit Plant Jade Token Li Zhirui mentioned was, in fact, his space; he simply couldn't say it outright.
"Then that's good!" Li Shiqing didn't ask too many questions, as it was normal for Li Zhirui to have some good items, considering he was always out gaining experience.
"I'll leave this place to you. I'll take the others and continue searching for Spiritual Objects," Li Shiqing said and then hastened away with the clan members.
The appearance of those two Golden Core Cultivators just now warned them that other cultivators had arrived nearby. If they didn't act quickly, there was no telling how many more cultivators they might encounter next.
After everyone had left, Li Zhirui explored the soil with his Divine Sense while taking out a Spirit Sword to dig.
The root system was so huge that it took him a full quarter of an hour to collect the Vitality Fruit Tree into his space.
"I wonder how Uncle's findings are?" As his words were trailing off, Li Zhirui's figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared without a trace.
Throughout his journey, the places he came across were thoroughly excavated, leaving not a single Spiritual Object to be found.
Of course, not all these marks were made by the Li family; a significant portion were by the lower-level Cultivators of the Huo Family.
When he saw the joyous expressions on the faces of Li Shiqing and other clan members, Li Zhirui knew their haul must be good.
"Zhirui, we've just discovered a medicinal garden with a large number of Spiritual Medicines growing in it!" Li Shiqing couldn't contain his excitement as he spoke, "And among them are some third-grade Spiritual Medicines!"
"Really?!" Li Zhirui hadn't expected such a huge surprise and asked eagerly, "What kinds of Spiritual Medicine are they?"
Li Shiqing shook his head, "They've just sprouted, so it's hard to identify what they are yet."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui immediately understood why they were able to acquire third-grade Spiritual Medicines because those newly sprouted Spiritual Medicines were very fragile and unsuitable for transplantation. If forced, the survival rate would probably be less than thirty percent!
In such urgent circumstances, the Huo Family naturally wouldn't waste too much time on this and hurriedly took some grown Spiritual Medicines before leaving.
But now, this problem had fallen on the heads of Li Zhirui and others.
"We'll dig up the nearby soil along with it, water it with Qinghua Spirit Water, and temporarily move it into my Spirit Plant Jade Token. Then we'll head straight for Wanxian Island. We'll see how many can survive," Li Zhirui said, pretending to be resigned.
But in reality, with the space in his possession, not a single one of those Spiritual Medicine saplings would wither!
However, he would still have to pretend to an extent, as it would be too exaggerated to present all the Spiritual Medicines unscathed.
Moreover, this opportunity would allow him to gather some third-grade Spiritual Medicines for himself, planning for the future alchemy preparation of other third-grade Spirit Pills.

"We have no other choice," Li Shiqing said, realizing there was no better alternative and deciding to follow Li Zhirui's advice.
Not many Spiritual Objects were left in the mountains, so after a careful search, the group carefully excavated the third-tier Spiritual Medicine, watching as Li Zhirui secured them.
"I need to make a trip back to the family clan. Be careful, everyone. I will rush back as soon as possible!" With that said, Li Zhirui summoned Xiaoqing and flew away with it.
Although he was faster than Xiaoqing, the distance from Wanxian Island to Wind Corruption Prefecture was nearly ten thousand miles. Even though he had achieved Core Formation, he didn't possess enough Mana to fly back on his own.
The best strategy was to let Xiaoqing fly part of the way, and when they reached the eastern side of Myriad Thunder State, Li Zhirui would burst forth with all his strength; like this, it would only take a little over a day to return to the family.
However, this method was too exhausting and couldn't be used frequently.
The journey back was very peaceful, as no one dared to obstruct the path of a Golden Core cultivator.
By the time Li Zhirui returned to the family, he had already allocated the Spiritual Medicine saplings. He kept one of each third-tier Spiritual Medicine for himself and deliberately withered a portion of them on the way, causing them to slowly lose their vitality.
However, under his meticulous care, the process of refining Essence-Enhancing Pills, Revitalizing Pills, and other higher-value Spiritual Medicine faced no problems, and if cultivated cautiously, they should be able to grow successfully.
"Zhirui, why have you come back alone?" Li Shilian, witnessing Li Zhirui breathing heavily, asked in confusion.
There wasn't the slightest hint of worry in his eyes because, after defeating Yin Wind Cave, Shen Leishan immediately ordered disciples to spread the word about their victory to demonstrate their power.
Of course, even more crucial was the intactness of the Li family members' Life Tokens; they were all still well and alive.
"Elder Lian, there's much to discuss, but for now, please hurry and plant these Spiritual Medicine saplings!"
With a thought from Li Zhirui, hundreds of third-tier Spiritual Medicine saplings floated in mid-air, leaving Li Shilian speechless in awe.
"Are these all third-tier Spiritual Medicine!?" Recognizing their tier at a glance, Li Shilian, a Golden Core cultivator versed in both the Spirit Farmer and Beast Tamer paths, spoke in amazement.
Although the arts of the Spirit Farmer and Beast Taming might not be as prestigious as Alchemy or Artifact Refining, they are fundamental for a power's stability and necessary for development.
Beast Taming may not seem essential for a typical power, where rearing some rideable or edible Spirit Beasts would suffice.
However, for the Li family, where cultivation techniques are bound to Spirit Beasts, Beast Taming is a critical skill and one that has not been abandoned despite not yielding much profit over the years.
Li Shilian didn't wait for Li Zhirui's response and hastily gathered the Spiritual Medicine before heading towards a Spirit Cave.
Seeing Li Shilian's departure, Li Zhirui did not follow but returned to his own cave dwelling. His swift flight home had depleted his Mana to only a fraction of its capacity.
He couldn't stay in the family for long and needed to return to Wind Corruption Prefecture soon, so naturally, he had to prioritize restoring his Mana.
A few hours later, aided by Spirit Pills, Li Zhirui's previously depleted Dantian was once again full of Mana.
When he got up to look for Li Shilian, he discovered him intently observing the newly transplanted Spirit Plant saplings.

"Elder Lian, I also have a tall Vitality Fruit Tree. Where do you think would be the best place to plant it?"
