"What? The highest level spirit stone?" asked Ye Fa, widening her old eyes when she saw a diamond-shaped object emitting sparkling light floating above Li Shen's hand.
"Yes, that's right. Before restoring our sect's building form, we better restore the spiritual energy first," replied Li Shen.
He flew six celestial-level spirit stones to six different places, one in the main building and five in the pavilion building.
Ye Fa and her two disciples could not help, Ye Fa did not know how to recover the lost spiritual energy using spirit stones, Ye Fa's two disciples were unable to help due to their low cultivation level.
Li Shen did not mind at all. He flew into the sect's sky and shot his magic energy at the six spirit stones. Immediately, the six spirit stones lit up bright white.
[Energy Gathering Formation Activated]
Blue-colored magic runes appeared in the sect's sky, expanding to cover the outer boundary of the sect.
At once, a rain of magic particles fell, those affected by the magic particles would feel the difference.
Ye Fa's two disciples also felt it, the qi energy in their body flowed well in their body meridians. Ye Fa also sensed it, she was happy to see Li Shen returning to help her sect.
The dead trees returned to grow leafy until they bear fruit. The density of the sect's unique qi energy was felt in that place again.
Li Shen smiled faintly, he was grateful that the first problem had been solved. Now, he needed to do the second thing, forming a strong sect protection formation.
The man picked up four gems from four different primordial beasts; dragon, turtle, phoenix, and lion.
Ye Fa was taken aback. She knew that the gems in front of Li Shen were rare, but she did not expect that her senior would use those gems to create a sect protection formation.
Li Shen crushed the four gems with his hands, then directed them forward to form the first protective dome, the Sky Tortoise.
[First protective formation: Sky Tortoise!]
The dome was created with the shadow of a large Sky Tortoise protecting the sect. It was the first layer and the last protector of the sect.
[Second protective formation: Vermillion Eternal Flame!]
The second layer belonged to the Eternal Flame Vermilion, an eagle created from the flames coming out of the gem fragments and flying around the outer area of the first protective layer.
[Third Shield Formation: Sky Defying Azure Dragon!]
The third layer belonged to the Sky Defying Azure Dragon. Li Shen saw the dragon curve and stretched its long body until it was able to sprawl across the third protective layer.
[Fourth Protective Formation: Emperor Huang's Golden Lion!]
The final layer belonged to Emperor Huang's Golden Lion, being the first to appear if any other sects or groups attacked Pillar Azure.
Li Shen glanced down, seeing Ye Fa and her two disciples still stunned in shock at Li Shen's ability. The man raised his hand, granting the three access to enter.
Ye Fa smiled. She was pleased that Li Shen's presence had a favorable impact on the sect. Slowly, the man stepped down from the sky.
"With the four primordial gem beast protectors, someone below the Immortal Ascension stage won't be able to destroy it," Li Shen replied.
"Thank you, Senior Li Shen," Ye Fa's two disciples said, bowing their heads and thanking him.
"Your first task is to go and clean up the main yard. This is your reward if you're done," said Li Shen.
He took out two Cultivation Star Pills and showed it to them. The two were shocked, Cultivation Star Pills were one of the powerful cultivation pills for breakthroughs, effective for cultivators under Core Formation.
"The effect of these pills is to enlarge the meridians and speed up the qi energy absorption. If you practice well, you can reach the peak of Qi Condensation within two months," Li Shen replied.
"We'll get to work on it," they said.
The boy picked up the sickle and started cutting the tall grass, while the girl picked up the broomstick to start clearing the front yard from leaves.
Li Shen smiled as he watched them get to work tidying up the sect. He turned his head to the side, seeing Ye Fa crying as she looked forward, seeing her disciples having the opportunity to advance in cultivation quickly.
"What's wrong, Ye Fa?" asked Li Shen.
"I'm just happy, Senior Li Shen. I thought our generation had disappeared," Ye Fa replied.
"I have come. I won't leave, this is my home," replied Li Shen.
"I understand. You are very reliable, Senior Li Shen."
Through Li Shen's eyes, he saw Ye Fa's cultivation was stalled at the Nascent Soul Intermediate stage.
Although her cultivation was high, but her qi energy was low, her meridians were also vulnerable.
"What happened to you? What was the highest cultivation level you ever reached?" asked Li Shen.
Ye Fa was silent for a moment, then waltzed away leaving Li Shen without saying anything. Li Shen was confused, he felt that Ye Fa was hiding something.
Day turned into dusk, Li Shen arrived at the elders' room and saw that many technique scrolls were gone, the pill boxes were also missing, as were the weapon chests.
What Li Shen saw was only the elders' room filled with low-grade technique scrolls, as well as story books that were not related to cultivation or anything else.
'For thousands of years of existence, they must have experienced difficulties with these limitations,' Li Shen explained.
'Some other sects might come and challenge Ye Fa. The loss of the technique scrolls here could be a result of that,' Li Shen pointed out.
'I must know who has destroyed the Azure Pillar sect.I will not forgive them!' declared Li Shen.
Amidst the room's silence, Li Shen turned his head when he saw the girl sweeping the floor. She was Hao Ziyue, the girl Ye Fa had chosen a few years ago.
"I'm sorry, Senior Li Shen. I didn't know that you—"
"Junior Hao Ziyue, please come here," called Li Shen.
Hearing his name being called out, Li Shen continued to stare at her as she walked over to him. Her eyes felt reluctant to lock eyes with Li Shen.
"Tell me, when you came, was this room already like this?" asked Li Shen.
"That's right. I asked the master, but she refused to talk," Hao Ziyue replied.
"I think there is something being kept hidden by the master, but I don't know what it is."
Li Shen sighed. He turned around and asked about Hao Ziyue's task, the girl said that she would finish it before midnight.
"You have done your tasks well, finish them quickly," Li Shen emphasized, stepping out of the sect's main building.
Hao Ziyue was confused, she turned her head and asked about where Li Shen had gone. Li Shen opened the door, then turned his head back while smiling at the girl.
"I'm going to go buy a few things."
