As Li Shuidao expected, the news that he had broken through to the middle stage of the psychic realm soon shocked the entire Li family.
"Li Haoshan's son has broken through to the middle stage of the psychic realm after practicing Taoism for more than a year. This talent is really amazing!"
"It's okay. As long as there are enough spiritual objects, it's not uncommon to break through the middle stage of the psychic realm in more than a year in my Li family's annals."
"That's right! In the Li family's annals, there is even a record of a genius who advanced to the middle stage of the psychic realm in just seven months after receiving the qualification."
"Who would have thought that Li Shuidao's talent is so strong, it would be a pity to send him to the sect."
"What a pity? Do you know how many spiritual objects it takes to break through to the middle stage of the psychic realm in such a short period of time? How could the Li family have such wealth today? If Li Shuidao hadn't been sent to the Five Poison Sect, his talent would have been It will be truly buried.”
…
Family ancestral hall.
The patriarch Li Haimo personally took Li Shuidao to offer incense to his ancestors.
Light incense and pray to the ancestors.
"Shui Dao, get up." Li Haimo said.
"Thank you, patriarch." Facing the patriarch Li Shuidao, he was humble and respectful.
"Shui Dao, can you tell me how you gained the master's favor, obtained a large number of spiritual creatures to feed you, and quickly advanced in cultivation?" Li Haimo asked pleasantly.
"this……"
Seeing the hesitation on Li Shuidao's face, Li Haimo continued: "Son, tell me, so that I can pass on these tips to the next generation, so that our Li family can have many talents and prosper for a long time."
Li Shuidao clasped his fists and said, "The clan leader is serious, but he doesn't really have any tricks. To make master and wife like him, all he has to do is be useful."
"Oh? How can it be used?"
"Master Patriarch, I serve as a spiritual planter and a spiritual beast master in my master's cave. For more than a year, I have practiced diligently and gained the respect of my master and my wife. They have given me a large number of spiritual objects, especially In the half year after Li Shuilang left, the rewards continued, which allowed me to achieve breakthroughs in strength. The moment I returned to the sect, I successfully broke through to the middle stage of the psychic realm."
Li Haimo's eyes were deep, and he continued to ask: "How many kinds of spiritual plants have you mastered? Do you have any special experience in taming spiritual animals?"
Li Shuidao had a solemn face and said in a proud tone: "I have mastered twenty-nine kinds of spiritual plants, and each plant can thrive in my hands. As for the domestication of spiritual beasts, I don't know how. My wife taught me how to ride a horse." Crane technique, I can ride a white-feathered crane and I can barely be considered a spiritual beast master."
Li Haimo raised his brows slightly, and whispered to himself: "Sure enough, there is some strength, no wonder..." Then he glanced at Li Shuidao sternly: "But the road of cultivation is long and arduous, and you need to work harder. Don't take a short time Be complacent with your achievements, and only by continuous hard work can you gain a foothold in the sect."
Li Shuidao was full of determination, and he responded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Patriarch. I will remember what you said, dare not slack off, continue to practice diligently, and bring glory to the family."
Li Haimo nodded and showed a satisfied smile: "Okay! Now that you have reached the middle stage of the psychic realm, you can also go to your tribe's library to select Taoist books. This is my handwriting. You can hand this thing over to me." Give it to your ninth uncle, and he will naturally take you upstairs."
With that said, Li Haimo took out a letter from his sleeve.
"Thank you, patriarch!"
After receiving the handwritten letter from the clan leader, Li Shuidao's face was full of joy. One of the two major goals he had set for himself was almost completed.
…
The Li family's library, like the ancestral hall, is a heritage building of the Li family and is located directly south of the ancestral hall.
"Li's Sutra Collection Building" is a three-story stone tower-style building with an exterior wall made of blue-gray bricks and stones, which looks quite simple and elegant.
There is a skylight on the top of the tower. At this time, sunlight is shining in from the outside, illuminating the Sutra Pavilion.
On the first floor of the library are some miscellaneous books, which are of little overall value. Of course, these miscellaneous books also contain a lot of content related to cultivating immortals, but most of them are recorded in the form of travel notes and jokes.
Members of the Li family can freely enter and exit the first floor to read books at will. The second floor of the library is full of secrets on cultivation techniques. You must have the handwriting of the clan leader before you can go upstairs to read the books.
As for the third floor, the secrets of the Li family's Five Poison Sect are stored, which are far more precious than the Bihai Sect's techniques and the mainland-made techniques of the Five Poisons' sect on the second floor.
After all, no matter how powerful the Bihaimen technique is, it can only be used as a reference now.
The library was quiet, and the bookshelves were filled with a dazzling array of books.
As soon as Li Shuidao entered the library, he saw a white-haired old man.
The old man is none other than Uncle Nine and the guardian of the library.
Uncle Jiu looked at Li Shuidao and his eyes brightened. He smiled and said, "You kid, where have you been recently? Why haven't you read a book?"
Li Shuidao raised his head and saw Uncle Jiu's face, and immediately showed a kind smile. He said: "Uncle Jiu, long time no see. I rarely come here to read books after I went to the church. Now I finally have the time and opportunity to come back." ”
"Have you already gone to the church? Time flies so fast." Uncle Ninth sighed with a look on his face.
He was deeply impressed by Li Shuidao. After all, he came to the library to read miscellaneous books when he was six years old, and he continued reading until he was twelve years old.
For six years, Li Shuidao visited the library whenever he had time, making it difficult for people to forget.
"Uncle Jiu, I have now left the Xiu Hall and went to the Five Poison Sect to practice for more than a year. Now that I am getting married and having children, I have the opportunity to come back and read." Li Shuidao explained again.
"What!? You have been going to Wu Du Sect for more than a year?" Uncle Jiu once again showed a look of shock.
He was obviously a kid right under his nose, why did he suddenly become a monk?
Li Shuidao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the old man with a respectful expression: "This is a handwritten letter from the patriarch. He said that if I give this to you, I can go to the second floor."
Uncle Jiu was stunned for a long time before he took the letter.
When he opened it and took a look, it turned out to be Li Haimo's handwriting inside.
He looked at it for a moment, then showed a slightly self-deprecating smile and whispered to himself: "So your name is Li Shuidao. Are all the children of the Shui generation now monks?"
Li Shuidao: My family arranges to get married and have children when they are fifteen or sixteen. Isn't this unpleasant?
Not to mention the Shui generation, there are people from all generations who have entered the sect and started practicing.
However, Uncle Jiu was obviously not interested in worldly affairs in the library, and Li Shuidao did not want to say more.
This is what the family has to do in order to survive and continue the bloodline.
After all, there are extremely reasonable reasons behind every weird system.
Uncle Jiu sighed and felt that time passed so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the child grows up, and in the blink of an eye, the child's child grows up again.
"Yes, in just one year, you can enter the middle stage of the psychic realm, which shows that you have extraordinary qualifications. You can read the books on the second floor at will, but I have to remind you." Uncle Ninth said with a solemn face.
"Uncle Jiu, please inform me." Li Shuidao clasped his fists respectfully.
"Expo expertise!" Uncle Jiu said solemnly.
"You can read Taoist books as you like, read a lot of books, and increase your knowledge, but you must remember that the most important thing in practicing a Taoism is specialization, and don't be greedy for too much!"
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, for reminding me."
"I won't go into details about the rules of the library. You are also a frequent visitor here, so go up and read by yourself." Uncle Jiu waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Nine." Li Shuidao saluted again and walked up the stone path to the second floor.
