Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Such a formidable snake would undoubtedly have a highly valuable inner core. Yet, Li Su had refined it into pills and given them to her. Of course, he hadn’t given her all of them and some to the Sect Master.

“Don’t you want to keep some for yourself?” Mystic Moon asked, not accepting the pills.

“I have something better. Take them, be a good girl, and recover your cultivation as soon as possible, or your man will surpass you,” Li Su teased.

Li Su placed the bottle of pills into her small hand. After gazing at Li Su for a few seconds, Mystic Moon accepted the pills without deliberately asking whether Li Su was worried about her running away or making any promises.

“The moonlight tonight is beautiful,” Mystic Moon said, looking out the window. The moon was indeed exceptionally bright.

Li Su embraced her and then had her lean against the window to admire the dazzling night sky. Mystic Moon’s face turned red. Even though there were restrictions outside, people couldn’t see or hear what was happening inside.

Nevertheless, Li Su’s actions made her feel incredibly embarrassed. However, she didn’t say anything this time and allowed Li Su to lead the way.

A month later, the celebration at the Li family residence began, and it was a lively event. Cultivators from the other two sects also attended.

“Elder Li could slay fourth-rank demonic beasts when he was at the Golden Core stage, and now, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, his strength has soared even higher. It’s truly a cause for celebration!”

“Yes, indeed. I wonder when we’ll be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It feels like there’s just a thin layer of paper separating us. Still, that layer of paper might not be crossed for hundreds of years or even a lifetime,” said the Sect Leaders of the Blazing Sun Sect and the Seven Star Valley, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Both of them had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage, and the Nascent Soul stage seemed within reach. However, many years had passed, and it felt just out of reach.

After the celebration, Li Su didn’t rush to leave. He intended to wait until Mystic Moon, the Holy Maiden, had fully recovered her cultivation. It appeared that Mystic Moon’s heart now belonged completely to him.

During this month, she did not intend to leave and shared some details of her situation with Li Su. For instance, at her peak, she had reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

In just over three hundred years, she had progressed from the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

This rapid advancement was due to several factors, including her unorthodox path as a demonic cultivator, which allowed her to progress faster than traditional cultivators.

Another factor was the unique nature of her spiritual roots. Her spiritual root was a rare type known as the Dark Attribute Spiritual Root, a special spiritual root with dark attributes. This type of unique spiritual root was challenging to classify into grades.

Standard tools for assessing spiritual roots couldn’t accurately detect this unique spiritual root and might produce incorrect results.

For example, some unique spiritual roots could progress rapidly with the right cultivation techniques, rivaling even the top three grades of spiritual roots. However, if tested conventionally, they might be categorized as seventh or eighth-grade.

Mystic Moon’s unique spiritual root was particularly suited for the Demonic Heaven Technique, a dark cultivation method practiced by the Demonic Heaven Sect. Therefore, she became the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Heaven Sect.

It took Mystic Moon more than a year to fully recover her cultivation. During this time, Li Su didn’t rush her to have more children, but he would visit her from time to time and enjoy her company.

This year, Li Su further improved the Li family’s array formations. The Li family’s array formations were now superior to the protective sect formation of the Flying Immortal Sect.

This was a formation Li Su had created by combining various defensive formations. It was nearly impenetrable for cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage and could withstand attacks from ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators for a while.

However, it couldn’t be sustained indefinitely, as the formation operation required energy, and spiritual stones weren’t limitless.

“If this formation operates for many years and accumulates enough earth qi, it could sustain itself even longer,” Li Su explained.

In the sky, the voice of Mystic Moon, still somewhat disappointed, could be heard. After recovering her cultivation, Mystic Moon expressed her desire to show Li Su how powerful she had become.

Despite being defeated by Li Su’s sword formation in the past, Mystic Moon wasn’t exactly disgruntled. She wanted to demonstrate her strength and make Li Su aware of her capabilities. However, despite her best efforts, she couldn’t overpower Li Su.

Despite being at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, she couldn’t do much against him, who was still at the first level.

Her spiritual attacks didn’t work well on Li Su, as his spiritual power had grown significantly since their last encounter. Over the centuries, his spiritual power had been greatly enhanced, and his soul was much stronger.

Moreover, Li Su had strengthened his Green Cloud Mirror. With this artifact, even Mystic Moon’s Demonic Heaven Needle had been refined by Li Su to the level of a supreme-grade spiritual weapon.

Li Su’s defensive capabilities were formidable, and Mystic Moon soon realized that her efforts in their spar had been in vain. After recovering her cultivation, She intended to showcase her newfound strength to Li Su, but it turned out that Li Su had improved even more.

“I give up!” Mystic Moon huffed, feeling somewhat deflated. She hadn’t realized that she had started to exhibit a more playful side around Li Su since she had given her heart to him.

Li Su chuckled, “Not so fast. It’s my turn now.”

Mystic Moon raised an eyebrow, wondering if Li Su was challenging her despite his current cultivation level. However, she quickly understood his intentions. Li Su wanted to engage in a different kind of “fight.”

“You…” Mystic Moon began to understand Li Su’s playful mood, and even with her restored cultivation, she couldn’t resist his teasing.
