WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 173
Chapter 173
Seeing both Bihai and the Nascent Divinity elder looking at him, Li Su had no choice but to say, “Yes, Senior Bihai.” The other party was considerably older and at a higher cultivation level than him, so Li Su was willing to address him as “Senior.” As for the future, if Li Su’s strength surpasses the other party by a significant margin, they could address this matter later.
“Leader, Senior Li obtained an inheritance in the Immortal Sect’s ruins. However, Senior Li’s talent is truly extraordinary. Not only is Senior Li highly proficient in cultivation, but also in the field of formations, he has reached the level of a grandmaster,” the cultivator Jin spoke.
“Senior Bi, Senior Li’s expertise in formations is truly astonishing. I couldn’t comprehend why someone with Senior Li’s talent took a hundred years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage until I witnessed his mastery of formations,” the head of the Falling Cloud Sect said with a tone of admiration.
“Senior Li must have been deeply immersed in formations during his youth, dedicating an extensive amount of time to them. Therefore, he reached Foundation Establishment at a hundred. Compared to Senior Li, the rest of us are like withered wood. I’ve spent several hundred years studying formations and still can’t match Senior Li’s few decades of research!” the head of the Falling Cloud Sect lamented. “Not just formations. You probably don’t even know how exceptionally skilled Senior Li is at alchemy,” he added. The Sect Master of the Danxin Sect also chimed in.
Li Su had not yet fully revealed his alchemical expertise. There was one instance when Li Su visited the Danxin Sect to examine some of the fundamental alchemical methods and texts of the sect.
Naturally, Li Su didn’t leave empty-handed. After all, he owed a favor to the Sect Master of the Danxin Sect. He had sent nearly ten talented individuals with alchemical potential to the Danxin Sect. So, Li Su gave the Sect Master of the Danxin Sect a pill and taught him how to refine it. This allowed the Sect Master to witness Li Su’s incredible alchemical skills. The fraction of Li Su’s abilities showcased was sufficient to make the Danxin Sect’s leader feel inadequate. Just how remarkable were Li Su’s alchemical skills?
“Oh? Senior Li can also practice alchemy?” The Sect Master of the Purple Extremity Sect was indeed curious.
“Of course, Senior Li taught me how to refine the Heaven’s Edge Pill last time, and it was hands-on instruction. However, even now, I still can’t achieve the same quality as Senior Li,” said the Sect Master of the Danxin Sect. The Heaven’s Edge Pill! Many Nascent Soul cultivators had heard of this elixir, and their faces revealed excitement. This was a highly beneficial elixir for Nascent Soul cultivators, with exceptional effects. It was just that no one in the Northern Realm could produce it. Surprisingly, Li Su could, and he even instructed the Sect Master of the Danxin Sect.
“Haha, my fellow cultivators, don’t be impatient. Once I become proficient, everyone will have their share,” the Sect Master of the Danxin Sect said upon seeing the expressions of the Northern Realm’s Nascent Soul cultivators. The Danxin Sect also sells elixirs, and establishing relations with the Northern Realm’s Nascent Soul cultivators through elixirs is a good strategy.
“I didn’t expect Senior Li to advance so rapidly in his alchemy skills. No wonder he reached Foundation Establishment at the age of a hundred.”
“Indeed, if Senior Li hadn’t dedicated time to these pursuits when he was young, he would have progressed even faster.”
The Sect Master of the Danxin Sect’s words ignited discussions among the Northern Realm’s Nascent Soul cultivators. They began speculating on reasonable explanations for Li Su’s rapid growth. With collective brainstorming, their theories became more and more plausible.
“Not only alchemy, my husband is also skilled in crafting. Look at this. He crafted a low-grade magical weapon for me.”
At this point, Liu Xinshui presented the “Water Cloud Mirror” that Li Su had crafted for her. Liu Xinshui hadn’t initially planned to speak, but her sister Liu Xinyue encouraged her. Liu Xinyue, being intelligent, believed that Li Su had not shown any special abilities, and she wanted to make those speculations more plausible.
A low-grade magical weapon!
Many Nascent Soul cultivators turned their attention to it, including Bihai.
“It is indeed a low-grade magical weapon!” The elder beside Bihai, upon sensing the power of the Water Cloud Mirror, exclaimed, “Wow.”
“Senior Li can even craft low-grade magical weapons!”
“My goodness, is there anything Senior Li can’t do?”
Many Northern Realm Nascent Soul cultivators were astonished by these revelations.
“No wonder people say that with Immortal Spirit Root, one reaches Nascent Soul at a hundred years and Core Formation at two hundred, but Senior Li took over two hundred and fifty years to reach Core Formation. Originally, he must have been delving into other areas.”
“Senior Li’s talent and understanding are just astonishing!”
“Indeed, without exceptional talent and understanding, whether it’s formations, alchemy, or crafting, it’s all an uphill battle. Senior Li is truly a chosen one favored by the heavens!”
“Heaven not only opened a door for Senior Li but also conveniently opened several windows for him!”
The Nascent Soul cultivators were thoroughly stunned. Even after all these years, they had accepted that Li Su was a prodigy, but they still imagined numerous possibilities. Especially regarding Immortal Spirit Roots, some even speculated that he might have a Spiritual Root even more powerful than an Immortal Spirit Root.
After all, only an exceptionally powerful spiritual root could support a cultivator’s rapid growth. The speculations about Li Su having a remarkable spiritual root allowed them to make sense of his swift development. However, in this grand speculative setting, when everything about Li Su was pieced together, these Nascent Soul cultivators were again profoundly astonished.
Indeed, it was impossible not to be awestruck. Formations, alchemy, and crafting were not directly related to one’s spiritual roots. They required talent, understanding, and practice. Li Su’s proficiency in formations was already well-known, and it provided a reasonable explanation for why he achieved Foundation Establishment a hundred years ago.
However, today, everyone learned again that Li Su was also exceptionally skilled in alchemy and crafting, which added to the layers of amazement. The exceptional ability in alchemy might be more abstract, but the fact that Li Su could craft low-grade magical weapons served as tangible proof.
Being able to craft low-grade magical weapons was indeed impressive. In fact, not only were the Nascent Soul cultivators profoundly shaken, but even Bihai and the elderly Core Formation cultivator, upon hearing the voices and seeing the expressions of the Nascent Soul cultivators, found their reactions becoming more and more intriguing.
These Nascent Soul cultivators naturally couldn’t have coordinated to act out their responses. Especially considering that Bihai’s daughter and a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Bixia Sect were present, their words carried a high degree of credibility. When they exchanged glances, they could see the profound astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Even for a 209-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator, while still an extraordinary talent, it would make more sense if their spiritual root was genuinely exceptional. But for a 251-year-old Core Formation cultivator to have such astonishing accomplishments in formations, alchemy, and crafting, even if they had received substantial inheritances or acquired numerous opportunities, it was still remarkably impressive.
What made it even more astounding was that Li Su had grown up in the Northern Realm and had never ventured outside. If Li Su had been cultivated in a place like a sacred land, it might have been easier to accept his exceptional abilities. But that wasn’t the case. How could this not be astonishing? Immediately, Bihai and the elderly Core Formation cultivator, two formidable cultivators, were utterly shocked!
