Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

The sect leader became a little concerned again after learning that Li Su kept taking concubines.

Although she was worried about Li Su’s actions, the sect leader had lost a bet with Li Su in the past, and she couldn’t go back on his word. It had only been more than ten years, and she couldn’t break her promise.

Anyway, he’s still young, the sect leader thought.

From an ordinary person’s perspective, Li Su might not be considered young anymore, as he was already over one hundred and seventy years old. However, Li Su was still considered young for a Golden Core stage cultivator. Golden Core stage cultivators had a lifespan of at least 500 years. As a first-grade golden elixir, Li Su’s lifespan was even longer. Furthermore, he advanced to the second level of the Golden Core stage four years ago, which would further extend his lifespan. Late Golden Core stage cultivators could live close to a thousand years, and with a higher grade of Golden Core, their lifespan could even surpass a thousand years, not to mention the potential of life-extending pills.

The sect leader realized that Li Su was still relatively young for a cultivator, and considering his rapid progress over the years, she decided to let him do as he pleased. The sect leader wanted to observe if Li Su’s progress would continue at such a fast pace or if it would slow down as he aged.

If Li Su’s cultivation continues progressing rapidly, I need not worry, the sect leader concluded.

However, if Li Su’s progress slowed down significantly after he turned 300, the sect leader was determined to intervene. He knew that prolonging the lifespan of a Golden Core stage cultivator was more challenging than that of a mortal, but it was also easier for them to obtain life-extending pills.

Li Su returned to the Flying Immortal Sect to obtain materials for refining array flags. He planned to strengthen the formations at his Li Mansion. Although some formations could be set up without array flags, Li Su found the flexibility and control provided by useful array flags.

After obtaining the materials, he checked on Su Yun, but she was in seclusion, so he didn’t disturb her. He then observed the progress of the descendants of the Li family he had sent to the Flying Immortal Sect. Despite their average cultivation progress, they all worked hard to avoid embarrassing Li Su, who had helped them enter the sect.

Once back at the Li Mansion, Li Su began rearranging the mountain-guarding formation. It took him about a year to complete the setup. While the formation wasn’t as powerful as the one in the Flying Immortal Sect due to the difference in innate conditions, it was still formidable. It could easily withstand attacks from early-stage Golden Core cultivators and even hold its ground against those in the middle stage.

The formation had the added benefit of absorbing and storing the earth’s energy, reducing the need for constant reliance on spiritual stones for its operation. Although the rate of absorption was not fast, over time, it helped save a significant amount of spiritual stones. Against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, the formation could still hold up for some time, although not indefinitely.

After setting up this large formation, it represented that Li Su’s formation skills were indeed solid. It was worth noting that many formation masters had continuously improved Flying Immortal Sect’s protective formation.

The security of the Li family was now better guaranteed. Li Su also placed several alert and concealment formations in the surrounding areas, further showcasing his proficiency in formation techniques.

Over the next few years, Li Su’s cultivation had not yet broken through the fourth level of the Golden Core, but his formation experience had increased by another 100 years.

Ninety descendants with spiritual roots, Li Su thought and smiled.

His descendants with spiritual roots had reached a breakthrough of 90. Only ten more, and when it reached 100 years, the rewards should undergo a significant change.

However, due to frequent concubine-taking, there were not as many female cultivators around him anymore. The female cultivators he recently took in totaled more than a hundred.

As for mortals without spiritual roots, he hadn’t taken in many in recent years, only occasionally accepting exceptionally outstanding ones as exceptions. Consequently, the growth rate of descendants with spiritual roots had slowed down.

One day, Li Su received urgent news and swiftly went to the Flying Immortal Sect. In the main hall of the sect, the elders were gathered, and on the ground lay a bound man with his true essence restrained.

“Li Su,” the sect leader asked, “is this the sacred order they are looking for?”

“I didn’t expect the sacred order to be in your hands. You are finished! Once the saint arrives, all of you will be done for. Hahaha!” The man on the ground laughed.

The sect leader quickly isolated the man so that he couldn’t hear their conversation.

“The Heavenly Demon Palace is one of the three palaces of the Holy Alliance. We don’t need to worry too much. The Holy Alliance is in constant turmoil, and their Yuanying stage cultivators won’t be dispatched so easily. The Heavenly Demon Palace is likely casting a wide net and has not yet pinpointed our location,” the sect leader explained.

The sect leader then assigned an elder to send people to Blazing Sun Sect and Seven Star Valley, instructing them to pay attention to demon cultivators and alert the cultivation families in the Wu Kingdom. If anything unusual happened, they were to report it immediately.

Li Su accompanied the sect leader on a flying boat on another journey to the Blackwood Forest. This time, the sect leader’s intention was simple. It had been many years since she brought a cultivator surnamed Bai underground. She planned to use the slate to extract information from the trapped demon cultivator and increase her understanding of the Heavenly Demon Palace. She also wanted to learn about the significance of the holy decree and why the Heavenly Demon Palace dispatched magicians to search extensively for it. The captured demon cultivator did not hold a high position in the Heavenly Demon Palace and was not aware of the full extent of the holy decree’s power, but he knew it was of great importance.
