Chapter 277
Gaining the approval of these spirit beasts proved quite simple, given Li Su’s strength, along with the specially crafted spirit pills he possessed. Consequently, he successfully acquired two Nascent Divinity-stage spirit beasts, primarily thanks to the spirit pills. Once these two spirit beasts consumed the pills, their eyes sparkled, and the other surrounding spirit beasts also tried to gain Li Su’s favor, one after another, following him. This left Liu Xiaowan deeply impressed. The two spirit beasts he obtained were both of the defensive variety—a massive spirit turtle and a spirit beast with a rhinoceros horn, known as the “Blue-Headed Golden-Eyed Beast.” Li Su decided to place one in the Li Clan of Luo City and the other in the Su Clan of Su City to watch over them. As for the Li Clan in Mangkang Mountain, it was temporarily not required.
“We don’t have an abundance of Nascent Divinity-stage spirit beasts, and we can only offer you two at most,” Liu Xiaowan mentioned. Following that, Li Su chose several young spirit beasts, such as a female bird with colorful wings known as the “Rainbow Phoenix,” specifically for Li Tian’s benefit. There was also an adorable pure white unicorn for Mengmeng. These young spirit beasts could grow alongside their intended companions. Li Su primarily selected female spirit beasts for his daughter, considering her needs. After this round of selections, Li Su’s acquisitions were quite impressive.
“Could you please calculate the number of spirit stones required for these? If I don’t have enough, I can create some treasures or pills in return,” Li Su proposed.
“Haha, Li Su, there’s no need for such formality. We have an abundance of these items in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. You can have them all without any charge,” a voice chimed in.
Li Su turned to see a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties speaking. Accompanying him was a woman, presumably Liu Xiaowan’s parents.
“Father, Mother, what brings you here?” Liu Xiaowan inquired.
“I heard that the most renowned genius in our Canglan Realm had come to our sect, so I couldn’t resist the opportunity to meet him. Li Su, I’ve arranged a banquet with some fine wine. Let’s celebrate together,” Liu Xiaowan’s father warmly suggested.
Li Su extended his greetings, “Hello, both of you.”
Liu Xiaowan introduced them, saying, “Father, Mother, this is Li Su, the one I told you about, the genius from the North Sea. Li Su, meet my parents.”
Liu Xiaowan’s father, in high spirits, approached Li Su and engaged him in conversation. Liu Xiaowan could only follow along helplessly. Her father had prepared a variety of fine offerings, including the Monkey King Wine.
“The Monkey King has advanced to the Nascent Divinity stage, so the wine he brews is even better now. This is my recent acquisition,” Liu Xiaowan’s father explained.
Li Su took a sip and found it even more delightful than the Monkey King Wine he had brought back from the Bi Hai Realm. The banquet was quite enjoyable, but Li Su couldn’t help but sense that Liu Xiaowan’s parents were evaluating him as a potential son-in-law.
On the other hand, Liu Xiaowan became unexpectedly reserved, folding her hands and appearing somewhat bashful. Li Su couldn’t help but wonder what was going on. However, even as the banquet concluded, Liu Xiaowan’s father didn’t broach any other topics.
“Li Su, let’s not mention the matter of spirit stones. We said we’re giving them to you, so if you feel uncomfortable about it, help us enhance this grand array. I’ll have Xiaowan assist you,” Liu Xiaowan’s father proposed.
Li Su readily agreed to this arrangement. Thus, Li Su spent a year with Liu Xiaowan, improving the grand array within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The sect’s protective array relied on the power of heaven and earth and had the potential to be maximized. However, it had vulnerabilities due to the Five-Ring formation, creating weak points. Solving these weaknesses had proven difficult for the sect’s formation experts, but Li Su successfully transformed these vulnerabilities into something resembling a “trap.” If anyone attacked from this point and managed to break through, they would indeed succeed. Still, once the enemy believed the grand array was fully dismantled and rushed in, they would find themselves in a precarious situation.
Of course, this improvement resulted in greater consumption of spirit stones, but the grand array’s power had significantly increased after Li Su’s modifications. This development left Liu Xiaowan and her parents in awe of Li Su’s mastery of the field of formations. After successfully completing this task, Li Su prepared to take his leave.
“Li Su, your talents are truly exceptional. Although the journey from the South to the North is quite extensive, with your ability to refine the virtual, it shouldn’t take too long for a round trip. Please feel welcome to visit us whenever you have the time,” Liu Xiaowan’s father warmly extended an invitation.
Li Su accepted the offer and bid farewell to the three of them, continuing his journey from the South to the North.
“Husband, what are your thoughts?” She inquired.
“He is indeed a remarkable talent among men. It should be no issue to entrust Xiaowan and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to him. I will need some more time in Nascent Formation, and I’ll discuss it with him after I reach that stage. We’ll see if he’s willing,” Xiaowan’s father replied.
After Li Su’s departure, Liu Xiaowan’s parents engaged in a private conversation. In the meantime, Liu Xiaowan, the shy and blushing girl, remained red all the way to her neck. Her parents were planning to embark on extensive travels once they reached the Refinement stage, and they might be away for an extended period. Upon their return, their stay would likely be brief. Concerned about leaving Liu Xiaowan and the Beast Sect behind, they aimed to find a suitable husband for her who could also manage the responsibilities of overseeing the Beast Sect. Ultimately, Liu Xiaowan’s parents were seeking a suitable husband for her who could shoulder both her and the Beast Sect’s care.
