Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

On the other side, Li Su returned to the Flying Immortal Sect. His trip to the secret area hadn’t taken much time this time, just a few days. He first checked on the progress of the formation flag repairs and found that the artificer had already repaired two of them, with three more left to go.

“Elder, it’s progressing well. At most, it’ll take another ten months,” the artificer reported.

After checking on Su Yun, Li Su went to the sect’s library to search for alchemical recipes. After spending quite some time there, he noted numerous recipes. Then, he headed to the alchemy room of the Flying Immortal Sect.

“I need to use the alchemical furnace,” Li Su stated.

“We’re not very busy lately, Elder Li. Feel free to use it as you wish,” the alchemist in charge replied.

So, Li Su began alchemy in the room. This time, he was working on more advanced pills, and his alchemical furnace at home couldn’t meet the requirements.

“Elder Li, are you making Three-Element Pills?” The most skilled alchemist in the Flying Immortal Sect was astonished when he saw the pills Li Su was crafting.

Three-Element Pills were superior to Crown Gathering Pills and were beneficial for Foundation Establishment. Although the sect had the recipe, this alchemist couldn’t produce them due to the high level of expertise required.

Li Su didn’t even have all the necessary herbs, but unexpectedly, he produced a batch of Three-Element Pills. He collected the Three-Element Pills in a pill bottle.

“Elder Li, you’re truly amazing. Can I… can I become your disciple?”

The alchemist asked cautiously, realizing that Li Su’s proficiency in alchemy likely far exceeded his own.

Li Su shook his head and said, “No need to become my disciple, but you can observe from the side.”

He wasn’t interested in teaching disciples, as it would be a waste of time, but allowing someone to observe was acceptable.

“Thank you, Elder Li,” the alchemist was overjoyed. Being able to observe was already a great opportunity for him.

…

In the following days, Li Su spent considerable time in the alchemy room, producing many pills. The herbs he had harvested couldn’t be stored for an extended period, and when plucked, they needed to be replanted promptly. Alternatively, they could be preserved using special formations. However, Li Su decided to first convert some of the herbs into pills. This process took him three months, during which Li Su produced many pills.

“I never expected Elder Li to be so proficient in alchemy. I truly admire your skills,” the alchemist praised him. The alchemist who had observed Li Su’s work for three months was also greatly impressed. “It’s a pity. Just a few ingredients are missing.”

The pills Li Su had produced this time were beneficial for cultivation at various stages, including Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core. However, he had found a recipe that could significantly increase the success rate of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he was still missing some herbs. These particular herbs weren’t available within the Flying Immortal Sect either. While the secret area had a wide variety of herbs, there happened to be three specific ones that were missing.

…

“Wow, husband, where did such amazing pills come from?”

“Husband made them himself, do you believe it?”

“Hmm! Husband, you’re so talented.”

In Su Yun’s abode, their conversation could be heard. After spending time with him, Su Yun became a devoted fan of Li Su. After staying with her for a day, Li Su left the Flying Immortal Sect and arrived at the capital of the Wu Kingdom several hours later.

“Sister Disciple, these pills are for you. They should help you break through to the Golden Core stage. The three white ones are Three-Element Pills. If one doesn’t work, continue taking them, but don’t exceed three,” Li Su said to Qin Xiaoyue.

“These pills can enhance your Golden Core level. Take them before attempting to break through,” Li Su handed two pill bottles to Qin Xiaoyue at the top of the tower.

Qin Xiaoyue still hadn’t successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage. Although she had obtained a significant amount of herbs in the secret area, she didn’t possess the knowledge of alchemy to refine them. Consuming herbs directly wouldn’t provide as significant of an improvement.

When she saw Li Su brought the pills, Qin Xiaoyue was deeply moved. She didn’t doubt the authenticity of these pills.

“Your cultivation has already reached its peak. Adjust your state and make your breakthrough,” Li Su advised. Li Su encouraged her. Qin Xiaoyue had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage but had been struggling to break through to the Golden Core stage. With Li Su’s pills and her adjustments, there was a good chance she could achieve this breakthrough.

“Hmm!” Qin Xiaoyue nodded vigorously.

“Once you reach the Golden Core stage, I’ll marry you!” Li Su added. His words made Qin Xiaoyue pause momentarily, her face red. “Hmm…” However, this time, it seemed she wasn’t dwelling on it anymore. She lowered her head and softly responded with a shy “Mmm…”

…

Li Su left the top of the tower but didn’t go far. Instead, he remained nearby to support Qin Xiaoyue. He also noticed the wordless stone monument right below the tower.

“It seems I’m not the destined one,” Li Su remarked as he glanced at the stone monument, finding no information. He wasn’t concerned about it. Qin Xiaoyue, now his woman, could see the information that mattered.

“It should be soon,” he added, indicating that Qin Xiaoyue’s breakthrough was imminent. Around the tower, the spiritual energy began to shift. Li Su patiently waited. After about a month, within the tower, a faint golden light shot up into the sky. Qin Xiaoyue had succeeded in breaking through to the Golden Core stage!

Li Su couldn’t help but smile. He finally had a wife at the Golden Core stage. While he had taken in concubines, he cared for each of them as his wife. Inside the tower, after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Qin Xiaoyue’s gaze turned towards the outside, and she spotted Li Su. A radiant smile blossomed on her face.

……

“Xiaoyue, are you going to marry Li Su?” The voice of the sect leader echoed within the Flying Immortal Sect a few days later as she emerged from seclusion. Based on Li Su’s perception, she should be close to achieving a perfect Golden Core stage, if she hadn’t already reached it. Typically, cultivators at the perfect Golden Core stage would try the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

“Yes, Sect Leader. I want to marry Senior Brother Li,” Qin Xiaoyue replied with determination. The sect leader’s gaze shifted between Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue. Today, she received both good and surprising news.

The good news was that Qin Xiaoyue had successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage. The surprising news was that Li Su wanted to marry another of her direct disciples, Qin Xiaoyue, and she was willing to marry him. The sect leader didn’t know a special relationship existed between Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue.
