Chapter 62

Just as the Li family entourage was about to set out, a servant came with a secret letter.

Nothing that happens in Suotuo City can escape the Li family's surveillance.

The Li family had previously invested heavily in setting up an intelligence network, training a group of people.

These people were adequate within Suotuo City, but once they left Suotuo City or went even farther, involving the whole world, they were willing but unable.

Therefore, Li Fei proposed to establish a genuine intelligence organization belonging to the Li family to monitor the world; this is a very large organization.

The funds required are also enormous.

When Li Yunsong opened the secret letter and looked.

This turned out to be sent by the vice hall master of the Suotuo City Spirit Hall branch.

The content: The Spirit Hall's high-level orders me to invite you to join the Spirit Hall; if you do not join, that's fine too, the Spirit Hall will continue to purchase large quantities of all the Li family's daily goods, maintaining cooperation.

"The Spirit Hall has already taken notice of us; for now, our families are not suitable to be exposed outside, and our relationship—wait a moment, we will leave Suotuo City through the rear secret passage." Li Yunsong said.

"Good." Dugu Bo nodded.

Now every move the Li family makes is very important.

"Little Fei, how do you plan to reply to this letter?" Li Yunsong threw the question to Li Fei.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Fei had already become their backbone.

This is the Li family's strategist and military advisor.

"He needs to give a reply to the superiors; bring brush, ink, paper." Li Fei said.

Soon, the steward brought it over.

Looking at the four treasures of the study, Li Fei felt it was rather inconvenient.

"Perhaps we could let the ballpoint pen appear early; this is also a big business opportunity, a monopoly industry." Li Fei thought.

Though he thought so, he had already put pen to paper on the letter.

Every stroke was full of vigorous energy.

The others were also watching.

The content was astonishing.

The content is as follows:

The Spirit Hall's goodwill is appreciated by my Li family; thank you for the invitation, but my Li family is weak in strength, only wanting to do a small trade business, and does not feel qualified to join such a great power as the Spirit Hall; I hope you can pardon our polite refusal; my Li family is very willing and warmly welcomes maintaining long-term business relations with the Spirit Hall.

This content appears to belittle ourselves and exalt others, yet it is full of great wisdom.

The Li family has not yet become a true colossus; Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, cannot stir up great waves before the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Li Fei's move is to advance by retreating.

Refusing the other party, yet not making them lose face, while maintaining long-term business relations, implicitly expressing that the Li family also counts as half a member of the Spirit Hall.

This will also make others feel much better inside.

This is great wisdom.

Once Li Fei or the Li family possesses an absolute foundation and strength, also having the strength to overturn the table, then there will be no need to be obsequious.

This tactic will surely be very popular among people in this world.

Li Fei's mouth curled up.

Then he let the letter dry slightly, placed it in the envelope, and had the steward send it to the Spirit Hall branch.

"Excellent strategy! Advancing by retreating!" Dugu Bo immediately saw Li Fei's great wisdom; he appreciated such a young person even more.

"Although we feel a bit stifled now, the main thing is to stabilize this colossus of the Spirit Hall; when we have sufficient strength in the future, we will no longer need to feel so stifled."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; only strong strength can protect and retrieve everything the Li family has lost."

"If one cannot bear a small hardship, great chaos will ensue."

Li Fei spoke confidently.

Inspiring admiration.

"Next, you go hunt for soul rings; I will guard the home." Li Fei did not need to hunt soul rings himself, so he did not go to join the fun; he voluntarily stayed to oversee the Li family. Let Dugu Bo bring grandfather, parents, and Du Gu Yan to hunt.

"Good."

Everyone planned to go quickly and return quickly.

Thus they quickly left through the secret passage behind the Li family's rear gate.

"This feeling of being the head of the household isn't bad either; is this the taste of power?"

Li Fei alone came to the head seat of the main hall, turned around and sat down heavily; looking ahead, he could see clearly the entire front courtyard of the Li family.

"To rebuild the Li family, we need a batch of reliable people; or, following the ancients, bury all those who did the construction, so that no outsider knows the Li family has moved to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Li Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light; as a decision-maker, a doer of great deeds, not fussing over details, he decided to act swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

The butler who had finished delivering the letter walked in from outside.

"Young master, the letter has been delivered." The butler saw Li Fei sitting in the head of the family's seat, was momentarily stunned, then immediately said.

"What was their reaction?" Li Fei asked.

"The Vice Hall Master will report the letter upward." The butler said.

"Fu Bo, butler, how long have you been in my Li household? Are you wholeheartedly loyal to my Li family?" Li Fei asked.

"It's been forty or fifty years, young master. I, this old servant, have no parents, no children, no spouse; I have devoted my whole life to the Li family and am absolutely loyal!" Fu Bo was startled, immediately knelt down to declare his stance.

Now the elderly Fu Bo, his body trembling and swaying.

Because this person's martial soul is very low-grade, their potential is limited.

In his lifetime, his cultivation only reached the thirty-first rank Soul Elder, with no further progress.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually. I can see you are wholeheartedly loyal to the Li family, and you have contributed much to my Li family. Our Li family rewards merit; next I will grant you further advancement in cultivation, unleashing your potential, and even cause your martial soul to mutate, becoming stronger!"

"Furthermore, in the name of the future head of the Li family, I bestow upon you the Li surname! From now on you shall be called Li Fu Bo! You are a true member of my Li family!"

This pill is named Peiyuan Pill, this pill is named Hualong Pill; after you take them, when you finish the transformation, I have an even more important matter to entrust you to complete secretly.

Li Fei bestowed his grace; two pills flew from his hand and landed in Li Fu Bo's hand.

Smelling this unparalleled divine pill and having been bestowed the Li surname, Li Fu Bo was very excited.

"Thank you for the patriarch's gift! I, your old servant, will never refuse even unto death!"

Li Fu Bo said excitedly.

"First eat the Peiyuan Pill, then eat the Hualong Pill."

Li Fei reminded.

"Yes!" Li Fu Bo immediately swallowed them.

Because the Peiyuan Pill also contains Li Fei's powerful wood energy.

Under the Peiyuan Pill's potent medicinal transformation, Li Fu Bo's body rapidly reverted to youth! His white hair turned black and thick, the aged wrinkles and skin vanished, becoming glossy and rosy; the senescent condition was restored to that of a man in his twenties or thirties, brimming with powerful vitality and vigorous vigor!

A golden radiance appeared on his body, the effect of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, forging an indestructible golden body! As time passed, Li Fu Bo seemed reborn, his aura subdued, and a flash of light from his hand produced a long great sword.

This is his current martial soul, which has mutated after absorbing the power of the Peiyuan Pill's immortal herb.

It can also be called the Peiyuan Blade or the Immortal Herb Blade.

Its quality surged from low rank straight to top tier! If another Hualong Pill were taken, it might become super‑top tier, even divine tier! Because Li Yunsong, Li Jianguo, Su Lan, Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan have also entered the divine tier.

This is the awesome strength of his refined blood.

If the blood used is not that awesome, the martial soul cannot reach divine tier.

This is truly a transformation of rebirth and bone‑changing.

Even if you are a waste, you can become a powerful soul master.

Of course, the martial soul is divine tier, but that does not guarantee you will become a god in the future.

Because becoming a god in this world is very troublesome.
