Chapter 138
Not only that, but a Golden Core female cultivator from the Watermoon Sect, who had been stationed in Luo City for an extended period and had unexpectedly become pregnant, had also become one of Li Su’s concubines. She had given birth to two children for him, leaving Liu Xinyue utterly astounded. It wasn’t just Liu Xinyue. Over the years, all seven major sects in the Northern Region had been left dumbfounded. A Golden Core female cultivator from a certain sect had also chosen to marry Li Su after sending him congratulatory gifts for a while.
“Why, Li Dao You… What’s the point of taking in so many concubines? Being young is great!”
A Peak Nascent Soul cultivator from the Azure Mist Sect, who had been in seclusion for over a decade and just received this news, was also shocked.
“Head Sect Master, we’ve run out of congratulatory gifts again,” another elder reported from the Falling Cloud Sect.
“What? Used up again?” The Head Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sect was stunned for quite some time.
“At this rate, it will be twenty years soon, and Li Su is still taking in concubines.”
“He’s really good at taking them.”
“At this rate, there won’t be many female cultivators left in the Northern Region.”
In various immortal cities in the Northern Region, the topic of Li Su taking concubines had continued for over a decade. Then, another piece of news spread: a female sect leader from a Golden Core sect, who had been in Luo City for too long, had grown tired of sending congratulatory gifts every month and had decided to marry Li Su.
“I heard that many Golden Core sects have settled in Luo City because they find it too time-consuming to travel back and forth just to send congratulatory gifts.”
“I’ve heard that too. Some Sect Masters have been living there for a decade.”
“Haha, Li Su has taken concubines to a whole new level. I bet the immortal sects in the Northern Region are all going crazy.”
Over over a decade, Northern Region’s cultivators were left in disbelief. No one had expected Li Su to continue taking concubines for so long. This completely shattered the understanding of Northern Region cultivators. It wasn’t just ordinary cultivators who were stunned. Even the members of the seven major immortal sects were equally amazed.
“Late Nascent Soul,” Li Su revealed with a pleased expression.
The continuous concubine-taking for over a decade had yielded remarkable results. The number of offspring with spiritual roots had surpassed 300. With each wave of 3,000 years of cultivation rewards, combined with the more than 200 to 300 spiritual root descendants, the accumulation of over a dozen 300-year cultivation rewards, the cultivation gained from offspring, and the cultivation from the reward for completing the descendants, Li Su finally reached the Late Nascent Soul stage.
In the past decade, Li Su’s descendants with innate spiritual roots have seen remarkable growth, increasing by over a hundred in just over ten years. Additionally, their spiritual roots were mostly of decent quality, with only a few being lower caliber. Li Su’s spiritual root was on the brink of reaching the fifth grade, although the gap to the sixth grade remained quite distant.
The primary reason for this lay in the fact that, although the overall quality of Li Su’s descendants with spiritual roots had been good, no exceptional spiritual roots had emerged. The most powerful among them possessed a fourth-grade spiritual root, with some having fifth, sixth, or seventh-grade roots. The majority, however, possessed eighth and ninth-grade spiritual roots. Entering a grade was considered a significant achievement.
We were assessing them by the standards of the Northern Region. In the past at the Peak of Hopeful Immortality, reaching the eighth-grade foundation building was exceptionally challenging. But in the Northern Region, there was a real possibility of achieving the eighth grade in foundation building with the right resources, particularly spirit stones and elixirs. Advancing beyond foundation building became more challenging.
Li Su’s spiritual root was close to breaking through to the fifth grade. In these past ten-plus years, Li Su’s descendants have not yet exceeded 300,000. The increase in the number of descendants with spiritual roots leads to enhanced cultivation and accumulates more than 6,000 years of experience. With such an extensive pool of experience, focusing on a specific area of expertise could result in remarkable proficiency.
Of course, Li Su had already shared a substantial portion of this experience, amassing 3,500 years of expertise in formation arrays, artifact forging, and alchemy. The fundamental knowledge solidified after reaching 3,000 years of experience in these fields.
For instance, with 3,000 years of experience, he became unmatched in the Northern Region, even achieving the title of a formation array grandmaster. However, from a broader perspective on “immortality,” these 3,000 years of experience represented just the beginning. So, after accumulating 3,000 years of experience, the next stage involved mastering more advanced formation arrays.
Li Su’s experience also started to decrease. 1,000 years of experience now equaled 500 years of proficiency in formation arrays. In addition, Li Su acquired an additional 1,000 years of expertise in talisman seals. He studied talisman seals because of their simplicity and his intention to create protective talisman seals for his descendants.
Furthermore, he gained several hundred years of body refinement expertise. His physical strength now rivals a Foundation Establishment cultivator and even surpassed some Nascent Soul cultivators in pure physical strength.
However, physical combat wasn’t the mainstay of cultivators, and even a peak Foundation Establishment body refiner would only pose a momentary threat to Nascent Soul cultivators. Adding several hundred years of body refinement proficiency enhanced Li Su’s physique. With his excellent constitution, accommodating many concubines, and now even more robust health.
He contemplated that as he accumulated more experience, he could consider developing his proficiency in body refinement alongside his other pursuits. Most cultivators focused on Law cultivation, while Body cultivation was a smaller subset. Combining both body and techniques would make him more well-rounded, but for now, he preferred to invest his experience in strengthening his existing techniques.
He planned to revisit the idea when his family expanded further, and there was a continuous stream of talented descendants with innate spiritual roots and continuous rewards. During this time, Li Su had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and his other abilities had also significantly improved.
