81: Almost died
Li Daoxuan lay on the bed, completely emptying his mind.
Suddenly, Li Daoxuan sat straight up; he remembered that he hadn't claimed his rewards yet.
"System, are you there?"
"I'm here."
"I want to claim my rewards."
"Congratulations, Master, your Family has gained several new members!"
"Rewards are as follows:"
"Reward One: 5000 Years of Cultivation"
"Reward Two: 1500 points of Family Luck"
"Reward Three: 7 Skill Enhancement Cards"
"Reward Four: One All Heavens Star Array Upgrade Card (Can be upgraded to Heaven Rank High Grade)"
"Reward Five: Ten Mirror-Breaking Pills (Note: Applicable for Breakthrough from Nascent Soul Stage to Soul Transformation Stage)"
"Reward Six: One Medium Grade Spirit Stone Spiritual Vein, one Medium Grade Taiyi Fine Gold Spiritual Vein, one Medium Grade Scarlet Fire Primordial Copper Spiritual Vein, one Medium Grade Frigid Frost Profound Iron Spiritual Vein, one Medium Grade Sun Divine Stone Spiritual Vein, all transplantable."
"Reward Seven: One Heaven Rank Low Grade Fortune Pill"
"Reward Eight: One Heaven Rank Low Grade Lightning Spiritual Root, directly fusible."
"Reward Nine: Beast Tamer Talent"
"Reward Ten: Two Mysterious Giant Eggs"
"Given that the Master is so ruthless, giving birth to six at once, this System truly can't bear to watch, so a critical reward is specially given."
"Critical Reward: One hundred Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, including Earth Rank Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and High Grade, suitable for Cultivation with various attribute Spiritual Roots; three Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques: "Eternal Life Scripture," "Indestructible Golden Body Art," and "Great Evolution Sword Canon.""
Li Daoxuan felt a bit dizzy; he couldn't even keep track of all the rewards, this time's rewards were simply too generous.
Li Daoxuan could only use them one by one while slowly examining them.
Family Luck, this thing was rather mysterious; as Li Daoxuan's Cultivation improved, he increasingly felt how profound and abstruse Luck was.
For example, as the Family Luck increased, Li Daoxuan's Luck got better and better, just like being able to find the Dragon Abyss, a blessed land.
Also, for example, during this critical moment of offending the Helian Family, he turned misfortune into good fortune.
As the Family Luck increased again, Li Daoxuan felt his mind clear, even having a feeling that he could pick up a Spiritual Plant just by taking a stroll outside.
"I should take the Fortune Pill first."
Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate, directly swallowing the Fortune Pill, and a warm current surged into all his Meridians.
"Sigh! Why did my Spiritual Root only reach Earth Rank High Grade?" However, thinking about his Five Elements Spiritual Root, he felt much better; if it were a single-attribute Spiritual Root, taking a Heaven Rank Fortune Pill would definitely elevate the Spiritual Root to Heaven Rank.
Then, Li Daoxuan became even more excited; a Heaven Rank Low Grade Lightning Spiritual Root, and it could be directly integrated into his body.
This meant that Li Daoxuan's Spiritual Root attributes increased, and it was a rare Heaven Rank Spiritual Root with lightning attribute.
"Fusion!"
Li Daoxuan was completely enveloped by purple lightning, with flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder all over his body.
"Hiss~ It hurts a tiny bit!" Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth and persevered; the pain came quickly and left even faster.
"My goodness! This Lightning Spiritual Root is really good, it can even temper the body." Looking at the dark, charred stuff on the ground, and then at his own baby-like skin, it was worth it.
"It's time to Breakthrough my Cultivation."
Li Daoxuan directly swallowed a Mirror-Breaking Pill, then received 5000 years of Cultivation.
Boom~
A monstrous Aura burst forth, and Li Daoxuan's Cultivation also rapidly increased.
Soul Transformation Stage Early Stage!
Soul Transformation Stage Medium Stage!
Soul Transformation Stage Late Stage!
Li Daoxuan's Cultivation directly ascended to Soul Transformation Late Stage; Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, a purple electric flash passed, then slowly returned to calm.
"I'm already at Soul Transformation Late Stage?"
Li Daoxuan also used the Skill Enhancement Cards.
He upgraded to a Fourth Rank Alchemist, Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner, and Fourth Rank Formation Master, consuming three Skill Enhancement Cards in total.
He used two more Skill Enhancement Cards and became a Fourth Rank Talismans Master.
"Why do I have an additional Beast Tamer talent?"
"Is this making me an all-around Cultivator?"
Li Daoxuan felt that having many skills was not a burden; anyway, he didn't need to spend a lot of time studying these skills like ordinary Cultivators.
After receiving the Beast Tamer talent, Li Daoxuan became a First Rank Beast Tamer, and immediately after, he used the remaining two Skill Enhancement Cards.
Third Rank Beast Tamer!
After upgrading the Formation again, Li Daoxuan felt that with his current strength, plus a Heaven Rank High Grade Formation, he would not fear a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator at all.
If the Helian Family came knocking again, Li Daoxuan was confident he could stop them.
"Spiritual Veins! So many Spiritual Veins!"
These Spiritual Veins were exactly what Li Daoxuan urgently needed; Li Daoxuan wasn't lacking in Spiritual Plants or Spirit Medicine, only Spiritual Veins.
Spirit Stones could be used by his children and wives, and Spiritual Veins could be used for Artifact Refining and setting up Formations.
Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate, directly appearing above Dragon Abyss; with a wave of his large hand, mountain ranges containing mineral deposits rose from the ground.
The commotion within Dragon Abyss startled everyone; they all ran out to check the cause.
"This... this is actually a Spiritual Vein?" Nangong Yin Xue was incredibly shocked; one must know that even within the Heavenly Dao Sect, there was only one medium-sized Spiritual Vein.
"Those... those are all Spiritual Veins?"
This was even richer than the Heavenly Dao Sect; where did Li Daoxuan get so many good things?
"Hiss! Li Daoxuan's Culti... Cultivation actually Broke through to Soul Transformation Late Stage???"
Nangong Yin Xue's small mouth was slightly agape, her gaze blank, though the others were already used to it.
Qing Xuan comforted her, "Xue jiejie, what's there to be surprised about?"
"Our husband is extraordinary; it's not strange for his Cultivation to Breakthrough by one or two minor Realms."
"He's *your* husband!" Nangong Yin Xue emphasized.
Nangong Yin Xue no longer dwelled on Li Daoxuan's Cultivation, nor did she ask where these Spiritual Veins came from; she just looked at Li Daoxuan in the air with sparkling eyes.
"Hahaha... you've all come?"
"Husband, you made such a big commotion, how could we not come?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Come, take these; these are little gifts for you."
Several small jade bottles floated before the women, but Nangong Yin Xue didn't receive one; it wasn't that Li Daoxuan was unwilling, but that Nangong Yin Xue didn't need this kind of Medicinal Pill.
"Senior Brother, what about Xue jiejie's?"
"She... she doesn't need it; there's a Mirror-Breaking Pill in here, used for Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage."
Nangong Yin Xue shouted, "Who says I don't need it? Give it to me!"
The women gave Li Daoxuan a look; their husband was usually so shrewd, how could he do something so foolish?
Li Daoxuan took out another Mirror-Breaking Pill, and Nangong Yin Xue snatched it away.
Qing Huang couldn't help but say, "Husband, these good things wouldn't happen to be given to you by that Senior, would they?"
Li Daoxuan flicked her small, delicate nose and said, "You little clever one!"
Now Li Daoxuan didn't even need to find an excuse; everyone had already filled in the blanks.
Dragon Abyss, late night.
Li Daoxuan sat there alone, lost in thought, looking at the two giant eggs before him, feeling a bit at a loss.
"Should I... boil these eggs? Roasting them seems good too."
"The System is too unreliable; it just told me they were mysterious giant eggs."
"But what kind of eggs are these?"
"How do I hatch them?"
Li Daoxuan was not the only one awake and not Cultivating late at night.
In another palace, a figure as white as snow quietly emerged, then headed towards...
