Chapter 165: Tactician
Chapter 165: Tactician
Time passed gradually in the game.
In Li Wei's view, it was merely a few short hours.
[Year 89th]
During these years of living as fugitives, the first two generations of the Li family generally didn't encounter much trouble.
After leaving the family estate and wandering around, they were even quite...thrilled.
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, traveled to the South Sea with his wife, Xu Cuihua. For decades, living within the family and in front of their descendants, they were always rather shy and reserved, rarely displaying their affection for each other. Now, finally free from the watchful eyes of their offspring, they spend their days immersed in lovey-dovey bliss. Li Dalong even took out the ancestral tablet, inviting his ancestors to witness their happiness.]
[Acquired Trait: Moment of Shamelessness]
[When away from descendants, affection +100%, dual cultivation speed +5%]
"Torturing me through the screen, are you?"
Gnashing his teeth, Li Wei spitefully bestowed upon the elderly couple, who were sitting on the seashore gazing at the ocean, the "Ancestor's Warm Embrace."
[Your descendant, Li Yaozu, is roaming the martial world, finally fulfilling his childhood dream of wandering with his sword. He began concealing his cultivation level and challenging sword cultivators everywhere. His swordsmanship is steadily improving, and his sword case is filling up with more and more swords.]
[His fame grew day by day. People in the martial world called him the 'Sword-Snatching Maniac.' Wherever he went, sword cultivators would hide their prized swords.]
"That's more like it."
Li Wei was quite pleased. This young man was always focused on cultivation, much more serious than his shameless parents.
[Li Yaotie and his wife, led by Li Yaoqing, journeyed to the Thunderfire Cave, where the natural forces of thunder and earth fire serve as forging tools. Li Yaotie intends to break through to the rank of Seventh-Grade Artifact Master.]
[He has taken out the War Puppet and is asking you if it can be further modified.]
Li Wei watched Li Yaotie repeatedly kowtow towards the ancestral tablet.
In fact, he had already asked Boss Qi to prepare an Intermediate War Puppet. As long as they waited for the next Grand Sacrifice, obtaining a few million low-grade spirit stones through the Li family and purchasing the Intermediate War Puppet wouldn't be a problem at all.
Letting Li Yaotie tinker with this low-grade War Puppet wouldn't be a big deal.
He clicked on the icon of the Ancestor Hall Guardian Beast.
The Ancestor Hall Guardian Beast was no longer the Violet Tempest Python!
Empowered by the thunder and earth fire, it had previously attempted to absorb Golden Cores, but to no avail. Fortunately, Li Yaoqing gradually gained the ability to find a Demon King Blood Pill for the Violet Tempest Python!
As he entered the text, a colossal python appeared before Li Yaotie. Having become a Demon King and the Ancestor Hall Guardian Beast, it could now speak using its spiritual powers!
It fixed its crimson gaze on Li Yaotie. "Master has responded to me. Use it."
"Thank you, Ancestor! Yaotie will definitely transform this War Puppet into an even more powerful Seventh-Grade Spirit Puppet!" Li Yaotie, his face beaming with excitement, grabbed his hammer and carried the massive War Puppet towards the thunder and earth fire.
As for Bai Rourou, the Li family's daughter-in-law, she was cultivating even more diligently now, constantly preparing to avenge her grievances.
Li Wei could still vividly remember the look of delight on her face when she saw Xiao Huang's miserable state.
There were two other people in the Thunderfire Cave.
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, is undergoing secluded cultivation with the assistance of the Demon Lord. She has begun attempting to concoct genuine Seventh-Grade potions!]
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, has entered the Thunderfire Cave and become Li Yaoqing's strategist. He is responsible for managing her forces within the Demon Subduing Alliance and the Thunderfire Cave while she is in seclusion.]
[He gradually became aware of the chaos and vastness of the territory where his Second Aunt resided. He slowly discovered that she had many more forces that could be brought under her control. This place was simply the perfect paradise for him to showcase his talents. His ambitious aspirations swelled once more, and he resolved to help his Second Aunt's forces bear the name 'Li'!]
[The trait 'Ambitious Hero' has transformed into — Unscrupulous Tactician.]
[He spends every day devising various methods to manipulate people's hearts. Aura +100%, Likeability -30%.]
They were all doing well.
What particularly delighted Li Wei was that Li Yaowen was becoming younger and younger. She had evolved from her near-death appearance into a hunched old woman!
After ordering Dawn's assassins to withdraw from Azure Cloud region, she unexpectedly appeared at the Liu family residence, staying by Li Tianyue's side and becoming her housekeeper. During the day, Li Tianyue would order Li Yaowen around in front of others, making her serve tea and water, but at night, she would have to kneel before Li Yaowen and frantically apologize.
However, after Li Yaowen arrived at the Liu residence, Li Tianyue's life actually improved significantly.
Her husband, Liu Yifeng's path to becoming the next family head became increasingly smooth. Those clansmen who mocked Liu Yifeng would inexplicably disappear. Moreover, Liu Yifeng's luck seemed to be on the rise. He would find mid-grade spirit artifacts even if he fell off a cliff, and he could stumble upon profound-grade cultivation techniques while browsing through random items sold by street vendors.
No one knew why, but the Liu family felt that Liu Yifeng was like a rising star.
That night, Li Yaowen received spirit stones from a maidservant in the darkness.
She took out the ancestral tablet and knelt, bowing deeply. "Ancestor, your child has located Qiuye and Xiao Huang'er. They are at the Medicine King Valley, hoping to conceive a new child through dual cultivation techniques and secret medicines."
"But for now, your child is ready to let Azure Cloud region experience the fear that the Li family will bring upon them."
Li Wei, in front of the screen, nodded slightly.
He knew that although all the Li family members were wandering about, seemingly happy, they were all waiting for an opportunity, a chance for the Li family to finally obtain justice.
No matter if they faced Xiao Huang'er, that damned Azure Cloud Pavilion, or even the entire Azure Cloud region!
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he manipulated the ancestral tablet.
[Initiate Plan B. All members, mobilize!]
As his words fell, he answered a phone call. Boss Qi's voice came from the old-fashioned phone. "Young Master Li, the things you ordered have arrived. It cost a lot of spirit stones, so we'll need to settle the bill properly!"
