Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 360 - 366: Pretending to be Strange

Li Shiqing was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as he was not aware of the matter. Nevertheless, he understood its significance to the family, no less important than the Chaoyang Crows, and perhaps even more so.

It should be known that this was the first batch of hybrid Spirit Beasts with the bloodline of fourth-grade Qinggui. This meant they had better aptitudes and were more prone to breaking through to the fourth rank compared to other third-grade Spirit Beasts!

Furthermore, as long as one was willing to spend time and resources on nurturing them, it would be only a matter of time before a Qinggui with a bloodline returning to its ancestors would be cultivated. By then, the Li family would possess a fourth-grade Spirit Beast Clan!

Li Zhirui was not surprised that Li Shilian was aware of this matter, as it had always been the elder managing the family's Spirit Beasts. Moreover, it was highly likely that Da Qing had consulted him, making it even easier to take proper care of Mu Ling'er.

"Yes," Li Zhirui nodded, directly answering what Li Shilian was about to ask next, "But regarding that batch of young spirit turtles, let's leave the decision to Da Qing and the others."

Typically, a mother beast would only stay with her young for a period before letting go, allowing them to learn to survive on their own.

However, both Da Qing and Mu Ling'er possessed high Spiritual Intelligence, surely they felt affection for their offspring. It was uncertain how they would arrange for this batch of descendants.

"Alright, I'll go talk to Da Qing when it's time," Li Shilian understood that this was Li Zhirui's respect for Contracted Spirit Beasts, so he didn't press the matter further.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first." Seeing the nod from the two elders, Li Zhirui took his leave before turning to depart.

Upon returning to his cave abode, Jiang Fengwu completely filled his vision, "At last you are back. If you didn't return soon, Sheng'er and Shuo'er would have been back."

After calculating briefly in his mind, Li Zhirui smiled and said, "Isn't there still several days left? Moreover, how could I miss such a significant event?"

"As long as you remember, that's good," Jiang Fengwu nodded in satisfaction, then inquired about the fate of the Chaoyang Crow eggs and why he had returned so late.

Li Zhirui explained everything, eliciting her compassion as she quickly urged, "You should go rest now; we can talk about everything else tomorrow."

"Okay!" Indeed, Li Zhirui was tired from his journey, especially from having spent several days keeping watch over the Wang Family's cultivators without rest. Even as a Golden Core cultivator, he was now somewhat overwhelmed.

----

Time flowed like water, and soon the triennial opening day of the Spirit Wisdom Court arrived. This signified that the children who had spent the past three years tempering their bodies were now ready to start Qi Cultivation.

And amongst them were the twin children of Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu!

"Daddy, Mommy! Shuo'er missed you so much!" In no time at all, Li Chengshuo ran out with his elder brother, but upon spotting Li Zhirui and his wife, he left his brother, who was apparently fond of his sister, and dashed towards them.

"Shuo'er, now that you are home, rest well for a few days," Jiang Fengwu said, looking at the thin Li Chengshuo with a heart full of pity. However, she also knew this was a fundamental part of the Li family's foundation, unlikely to change unless something went wrong.

To her surprise, Li Chengshuo himself objected, saying, "Mom, there's no need to rest that long. We must start Qi Cultivation as soon as possible to break through the first layer."

"Alright then." Although it had only been three short years, their personalities had already changed from what they remembered.

"Let's continue this conversation when we get home, let's go!" Li Zhirui interrupted the ongoing talk between mother and daughter, turning to Li Chengsheng and hinted, "Sheng'er, I brought you a surprise!"

The family of four made their way to the cave abode and then led Li Chengsheng into a room specifically for storing Spirit Beast Eggs, which was now empty except for half a dozen eggs the size of a baby's fist.

"Sheng, these six Chaoyang Crow eggs are the gift from your dad and mom, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied! Thank you, dad and mom!" Li Chengsheng's face, usually indifferent, now showed a rare touch of excitement and thrill.

The grade of the Chaoyang Crow might not be as high as he originally imagined, but in other aspects, it was still quite good and, most importantly, they were very good-looking!

Covered in golden-yellow, as if cast from gold, their sharp eyes were like blades, and a pair of formidable claws could shred anything. Moreover, they were large Spirit Birds that could be used as Flying Artifacts.

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu were quite pleased with his reaction, not regretting the many Spirit Stones they had spent.

"Dad, mom, what about me, where's my gift?" Li Chengshuo couldn't wait to ask, looking at the two with eyes full of expectation.

Unfortunately, it was destined that she would be disappointed. Li Zhirui had not prepared a surprise for her, or rather, there just wasn't enough time.

"Don't you want Shuo anymore?!" Li Chengshuo's round, big eyes were instantly covered with a sheen of tears, her small body emanating deep sorrow.

"How could we not want Shuo?" Li Zhirui hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, Shuo, I've already found traces of a suitable Contracted Spirit Beast for you - the extremely rare Moon Serpent. Once these Spirit Beast Eggs hatch, I'll be on my way."

"Really?!" Li Chengshuo fluttered her eyelashes, small tear drops hanging on them, yet her heart was leaping with joy. As a member of a Beast-Taming Family with a rather special talent, she knew quite a bit about most Spirit Beasts with a Yin attribute.

Among them, the Taiyin Divine Dragon was the most majestic and conformed to her desires the most, and the Moon Serpent was a degenerate bloodline of the Taiyin Divine Dragon.

"Of course, it's true. Dad would never lie to Shuo," Li Zhirui promised on the spot.

As for Li Chengshuo's exaggerated sadness, he obviously saw through it, but ... his own daughter, of course, deserved all the pampering.

"Hee hee hee, I knew dad is the best!" Li Chengshuo instantly switched from tears to laughter, looking up at Li Zhirui with a face seeking approval.

Jiang Fengwu couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite the witty little girl."

"Sheng, after these Chaoyang Crow eggs hatch, select the one with the best bloodline to contract, and the rest should be given to Grandfather Lian for him to raise."

Li Chengsheng had no reaction to the first part of the sentence, but upon hearing that he was to hand over the Chaoyang Crows, a look of conflict and reluctance appeared on his face, saying, "Mom, I want to take care of the other Chaoyang Crows myself."

"Hmm?" Jiang Fengwu was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Sheng, are you planning to become a Beast Tamer in the future?"

Li Chengsheng shook his head. A Beast Tamer needed to deal with a large number of Spirit Beasts with various attributes, but he was only interested in those with a Yang Attribute.

"I just want to raise them myself."

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhirui agreed, saying, "I'll speak to the family about this."

"However, regarding the training of the Chaoyang Crows, if you have time, go and ask Elder Lian more about it; he's very formidable in Beast Taming."

"Mhm." Li Chengsheng replied with a single, succinct word.
