Chapter 38: This is Bullying the Sect Leader
The flying boat continued its journey and soon returned to the Flying Immortal Sect.
Li Su, keep the matter about the underground demon cultivator a secret to avoid causing panic, the Sect Leader said, looking at Li Su.
Yes, Master, Li Su replied.
Take this Shocking Rainbow Pill. It will help enhance your Golden Core grade, the Sect Leader said, extending her hand and presenting a pill to Li Su.
Thank you, Master! Li Su expressed gratitude, although he didnt need the Shocking Rainbow Pill. Considering the bet he made with the Sect Leader, it would be abnormal if he refused it. According to their bet, Li Su had to marry Su Yun regardless of the outcome.
Li Su thought, he can give the Shocking Rainbow Pill to Su Yun when she forms her Golden Core in the future.
Brother, good luck! Su Yuns voice echoed outside the mountain gate of the Flying Immortal Sect.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Yun blushed once again, embarrassed by what she had just said.
Why did she say good luck?
But based on the bet between Li Su and the Sect Leader, Li Su had to marry her no matter the result. This made Su Yuns heart race.
Despite feeling shy, she still saw Li Su at the mountain gate.
Junior sister, wait for me to marry you! Li Su exclaimed, causing Su Yuns face to turn even redder.
Observing Su Yuns flushed face, Li Su chuckled and boarded the flying boat, departing from the Flying Immortal Sect.
Li Su believed that the five-year time limit for the bet posed no challenge. He could gain more than 70 years of cultivation from the growth of his descendants each year, which equated to over 70 points of alchemy energy.
In five years, that would amount to 360-370 points. He already had over 170 points, so it was more than enough.
If Li Su didnt aim to condense a higher-grade Golden Core, he could have broken through to the Golden Core stage and demonstrated it to the Sect Leader already. The Elder of the Palace of Foreign Affairs did mention that cultivation was more important and the grade of the Golden Core wasnt a strict requirement, but Li Su interpreted it as a consolation.
Who wouldnt want to start at a higher level?
Li Su had crossed over for so long without good spiritual roots, struggling to reach Foundation Establishment at the age of 100 after enduring eighty years of hardship.
Although he had the assistance of a golden finger, the initial stages were still quite challenging. He gradually established the Li family, increasing his cultivation and reputation. That was eighty years of his life!
For many, that would be an eventful lifetime.
However, he had no choice about his low starting point regarding spiritual roots.
So what if his spiritual roots were lacking?
He would still condense a top-grade Golden Core!
Therefore, even though he could break through to the Golden Core stage anytime, Li Su was in no rush.
After returning to the Li mansion, Li Su attended a gathering of casual cultivators to fulfill the five-year bet. Thus, the following year, Li Su continued to experience joyous occasions.
Recently, Li Su had stopped accepting ordinary women as concubines since he already had many fairy concubines.
Of course, the number of female cultivators in the three major immortal sects who met the beauty criteria and desired marriage was limited.
In the past few years, many female cultivators from other secular countries have been accepted by Li Su.
If this continued, he would run out of places to accommodate them. The population of the Li family was steadily increasing.
Regarding the Sect Leaders suggestion of replacing the royal family, Li Su maintained a conservative stance. He truly had no interest in a secular throne.
Of course, if the Li family continued to develop and control a secular country, it wouldnt matter much. He didnt want to burden himself with too many responsibilities.
Controlling a country was quite complicated, and if any issues arose with his descendants, Li Su would have to handle them. In his view, it would be a waste of his time.
Soon, the first year had passed. This year, Li Sus alchemy energy had increased by eighty points.
Perhaps due to good luck or the large number of female cultivators he had accepted, there had been three new descendants with spiritual roots. One of them was born from his own offspring.
In the second year, there were four more descendants with spiritual roots, primarily born to the newly accepted female cultivators.
The energy of the formed pill had increased by more than eighty points.
In the third year, there were only two new descendants with spiritual roots, but they were close to reaching the goal of ten.
If things continued this way, descendants with spiritual roots would be the first to surpass sixty.
This is simply effortless, Li Su smiled.
At this rate, if one more descendant with spiritual roots surpassed sixty in number next year, he would receive a hundred years of cultivation rewards. That would easily reach 500 points of alchemy energy.
Winning this bet against the Sect Leader was a piece of cake. It seemed like he was taking advantage of the Sect Leader.
