WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Encounter with a Demon Cultivator Again (4)

On the other side, upon learning that Li Su continued to take concubines, the sect leader felt a bit worried again.

Although concerned about Li Su, the sect leader had lost the bet made with Li Su in the past. It had only been a little over ten years, and the sect leader couldn’t go back on her word.

He’s still young anyway, the sect leader thought. While from a mortal perspective, Li Su was no longer young, in terms of a Golden Core stage cultivator’s lifespan, Li Su was still considered young. As a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, Li Su’s lifespan was longer than that of ordinary Golden Core stage cultivators.

Moreover, four years ago, Li Su reached the second level of the Golden Core stage, further extending his lifespan. Late-stage Golden Core cultivators already had lifespans approaching a thousand years, and with a higher-grade Golden Core, breaking the thousand-year mark was achievable.

This was without considering life-extending pills and elixirs. The difficulty of extending the lifespan of Golden Core stage cultivators was greater, but obtaining such pills was easier for them.

If Li Su continued his rapid progress even after reaching the age of three hundred, the sect leader decided that intervention might be necessary.

“Elder Xue, can you get these things for me?” Li Su soon appeared at the Flying Immortal Sect, seeking materials for crafting array flags.

Elder Xue recognised the materials and asked, “Spirit Stone Mine, Profound Soul of Infinity, Purple Gold Stone… Elder Li, are you going to set up a large formation?”

Li Su nodded, “Yes, I plan to enhance the formations at the Li Mansion.”

Elder Xue offered to find the materials, but Li Su would need to exchange some spirit stones and contribution points.

After a while, Elder Xue returned, and Li Su noticed that a few items were missing. He suggested alternatives for those missing items. Elder Xue found some replacements, and Li Su obtained the required materials.

Li Su checked on Su Yun and found her in seclusion. He decided not to disturb her. He also observed that the sect leader seemed to retreat to the back mountain, likely aiming to achieve Nascent Soul cultivation.

Li Su checked on the Li family’s descendants, realising that dozens had been sent to the Flying Immortal Sect. The progress of these descendants was average, but each of them was diligently practising.

They were aware that entering the Flying Immortal Sect depended on Li Su. Li Su had stated that he would adhere to the sect’s rules once admitted and not take on any duties if eliminated.

Many descendants were putting effort into their cultivation to not disgrace Li Su.

After a thorough look, Li Su left the Flying Immortal Sect. Returning to the Li Mansion, he rearranged the mountain protection formation.

This process took about a year, but the Li Mansion’s mountain protection formation was eventually successfully set up.

“Well done,” Li Su applauded.

While this formation might not rival the Flying Immortal Sect due to inferior innate conditions, it still held its own. Even a cultivator at the early stage of the golden core could not break through.

However, the formation would eventually succumb if continuously attacked, as its operation relied on finite spirit stones. One advantage of this formation was its ability to absorb earth’s energy and store it, sustaining its operation. The absorption rate was not rapid, but it allowed Li Su to save a significant amount of spirit stones over time.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the golden core could also be held at bay for a considerable time. For those in the later stage of the golden core, it could withstand some attacks but not for an extended period. Nevertheless, it was sufficient.

Establishing this formation underscored Li Su’s genuine proficiency in formations. Notably, the Flying Immortal Sect’s protective formation had undergone continuous refinement by numerous formation masters. The security of the Li family had been further ensured.

Li Su also implemented various vigilance formations and concealment techniques in the surrounding areas, showcasing his practical expertise in formations.

After a few more years, Li Su’s cultivation had not yet broken through the fourth level of the Golden Core, but his experience in formations had increased by another 100 years.

90~ Li Su smiled, pleased with the progress. His descendants with spiritual roots had now surpassed 90.

Another 10 breakthroughs, reaching 100 years, should bring about a significant reward, although the frequent addition of concubines in recent years reduced the number of female cultivators.

Li Su had accepted over a hundred female cultivators. While he hadn’t been actively taking in mortal concubines without spiritual roots in recent years, there were occasional exceptions for exceptionally outstanding individuals.

As a result, the growth rate of descendants with spiritual roots slowed down, but Li Su didn’t seem to mind.

One day, Li Su received urgent news and swiftly arrived at the Flying Immortal Sect. The elders and a bound individual lay on the ground in the main hall.

“Elder Li,” several elders greeted him.

“Elder Li Su, is the holy order still in your hand?” the Sect Leader inquired.

In response, Li Su presented the holy order.

When the person on the ground saw the holy order, his eyes brightened and stared.

The sect leader handed the order to the man—”Is this what the Heavenly Demon Palace is looking for?”

“Yes, didn’t expect the order to be in your hands. You’re done. Once the saint arrives, all of you will be finished, hahaha!”

The man on the ground burst into laughter.

With a gesture from the sect leader, the man was isolated.

His voice couldn’t be heard, and he couldn’t hear the conversation.

“Sect Leader, how powerful is the Heavenly Demon Palace?” An elder inquired.

“The Heavenly Demon Palace is said to be one of the three palaces of the Holy Alliance. Don’t worry too much. There’s constant turmoil within the Holy Alliance, and their Nascent Soul stage cultivators won’t be easily dispatched. The Heavenly Demon Palace should be casting a wide net and not locking onto us so quickly.” The sect leader explained.

“Sect Leader, what do we do now?” Another elder asked.

“Elder Huang, send people to the Blazing Sun Sect and Seven Star Valley. Have them pay attention to demon cultivators and warn the cultivation families in the Wu Kingdom to be cautious. If anything unusual happens, notify us immediately.” The sect leader instructed.

“Yes.”

Several elders acknowledged this.

“Li Su, accompany me again.”

The sect leader added.

“Okay.”

The flying boat headed towards the Blackwood Forest once more.

The sect leader stood gracefully in front of the flying boat, her skirt fluttering despite the barriers around the boat. This made her look elegant and refined.

The sect leader’s intention this time was simple. It had been many years since she brought a cultivator Bai, underground.

She planned to use the slate to extract information from the captured demon cultivator, gaining insights into the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Simultaneously, she wanted to understand the purpose of the holy order and why the Heavenly Demon Palace sent magicians to search extensively for it.

The captured demon cultivator had a low status and didn’t know the order’s role but emphasized its importance.
