Chapter 31: Geometric Growth
In the Li mansion, a stunningly beautiful lady cultivator fed a grape into Li Sus mouth and asked Li Su, Honey, is it sweet?
Yes. It is indeed sweet, Li Su replied.
Li Su loved eating grapes the most.
The new wandering cultivators meeting was approaching, so Li Su went to take a look. This time, his main purpose was to observe the changes among the casual cultivators, gather information, and see if there were any traces of demon cultivators in the areas of the three major immortal sects.
These casual cultivators were more down-to-earth and numerous than the three major immortal sects. Sometimes, they had better access to small news and gossip.
Senior Li.
Senior Li is here.
As soon as Li Su arrived, a large number of casual cultivators surrounded him. This year, there were even more casual cultivators, including many from the Four Qi Kingdoms and the Northern Yan Kingdom.
There was also an increase in the number of female cultivators among them. Among these female cultivators, many were from the Four Qi Kingdoms and the Northern Yan Kingdom. In the Wu Kingdom, most of the prettiest female cultivators were already married to Li Su.
Compared to the number of ordinary people, the number of cultivators was much smaller. It was because spiritual roots were rare.
Sometimes, even in a city with over ten thousand people, it was still unlikely to find someone with spiritual roots. There was also a possibility that some people had spiritual roots that went unnoticed throughout their lives, not even discovering it themselves.
Li Su estimated that there were many hidden people with spiritual roots in the areas of the three major immortal sects. Still, under this worlds current conditions, it was impossible to conduct large-scale tests for spiritual roots.
Usually, when someone entered the stage of having spiritual roots, even if they didnt practice, they exhibit some extraordinary qualities from a young age, such as greater strength, better mental acuity, and intelligence.
Having spiritual roots meant that they absorbed a certain amount of spiritual energy when they breathed, so even without cultivation, their bodies benefited from it over time. Therefore, it was difficult for someone with spiritual roots to go unnoticed.
Besides immortal sects and cultivation clans, there were also numerous secular sects and more experts, both acquired and innate, than cultivators. However, Li Su considered these acquired and innate experts insignificant.
These acquired and innate experts had some reputation in their local areas. If a child from a certain family displayed exceptional qualities from a young age, they often received excellent training from local sects.
If it was confirmed that they had spiritual roots, these sects would try their best to send the child to an immortal sect. In these secular sects, this was referred to as forming a spiritual bond. This was also the way for some secular sects to survive.
On Immortal Desolate Peak, Li Su was surrounded by many casual cultivators. The casual cultivators were particularly enthusiastic this time.
Li Su learned some information. After the cultivator Bai was dealt with, fewer casual cultivators went missing. This cultivator Bai would occasionally target individual casual cultivators if he had the opportunity. However, this method was inefficient, making it difficult to locate these casual cultivators.
On Immortal Peak, there were too many casual cultivators, and the cultivator Bai was very cautious. He didnt cause any trouble at the gathering of casual cultivators.
This guy is a coward and hesitant. He cant achieve great things, Li Su thought.
Since they were demonic cultivators, if the cultivator Bai was bolder, he could have set up an ambush on Immortal Peak after reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage and wiped out the casual cultivators there. Even if some managed to escape, they could find a place to hide and reap the benefits, which would be much faster than their current progress. But this guy didnt dare.
This also indicated that, at least in the areas of the three major immortal sects, demonic cultivators could only hide like rats in the gutter. Righteousness was prospering, which was a good thing.
It was also possible that the cultivator Bai was planning to reach the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage or even become stronger before making his move. This guy even thought about Li Su and invited him to the Blackwood Forest several times.
Li Su suspected that this guy didnt have the confidence to deal with him. In the Blackwood Forest, he could take the opportunity to make his move.
At night, Li Su had a pile of handkerchiefs, embroidery, and other tokens of affection. This time, even more, female cultivators handed him love tokens. Some casual cultivators were envious.
Then, over the next two years, there were constant celebrations in the Li household.
The Li ancestor has taken another immortal as a spouse.
Yes, its a pity. My daughter has just come of age, but the Li ancestor is only marrying immortals.
The Luo City area was filled with joy again. Rarely were some people feeling depressed.
Due to Li Sus preference for taking concubines, favoring daughters over sons in the Luo City area had improved to some extent. Many wealthy families and even ordinary households hoped to have a beautiful daughter to marry into the Li family. However, beauty was not easily acquired.
After their daughters grew up, many parents felt that they didnt meet the standard. There were also people whose daughters were just average in appearance, but those who married into the Li family were all immortals. These people could only feel depressed.
After all, how could mortals compare to immortals?
Not only were the immortals beautiful, but their temperament was also extraordinary. Many people dreamed of marrying an immortal and would willingly die the next day for that chance.
Li Su had a realization. Li Su couldnt help but smile after understanding.
0.1% Well, its quite low, Li Su thought.
But it also indicated the difficulty of having a spiritual root, which seemed to involve something related to the rules of heaven and earth. It was already remarkable that the system could reward a 0.1% increase.
This reward was for the entire family, and as the population increased, this boost would have a significant and long-lasting effect.
Li Su smiled and thought, it is not bad after understanding this.
