WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

In the alchemical chamber, the sect’s leader stared at the Infant Cultivation Pill held by Li Su. While she hadn’t encountered this pill before, her close examination confirmed its authenticity. Given her proximity to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she believed that the Infant Cultivation Pill’s assistance would significantly boost her chances of success.

As she watched Li Su successfully refine the Infant Cultivation Pill, she couldn’t help but wonder about his extraordinary talents, his rare and almost invisible spiritual potential. Her gaze lingered on him, and Li Su, noticing her scrutiny, quipped, “Master, is there something on my face?”

Li Su blinked and interrupted her as she began to speak, thrusting the precious pill into her hand. “Master, this is for you. Please accept it.”

“Alright, if you need anything, just inform Elder Huang. I’m going into seclusion now,” the sect leader responded, setting aside the Infant Cultivation Pill. Her top priority was advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Everything else could wait.

In the journey of immortality cultivation, every stage, starting from the foundational period, marked a critical turning point. The foundation-building phase was particularly crucial, as it determined the success of one’s cultivation. More foundation stability could hamper progress in all aspects of cultivation.

Li Su’s foundational cultivation was undoubtedly rock-solid. The Golden Core stage acted as a bridge between earlier and higher levels of cultivation, and the Nascent Soul stage was another significant milestone. Cultivators typically enjoyed extended lifespans at this stage, often reaching a thousand years.

Nevertheless, some could reach up to five thousand years through techniques and rare celestial treasures. While such longevity was rare, most Nascent Soul cultivators usually lived around three thousand years. Their strength and abilities saw a substantial improvement, allowing them to wield formidable power and harness the forces of heaven and earth.

After the sect leader’s departure, Li Su extinguished the alchemical flame and checked Su Yun’s progress. She had been catching up to him, having recently witnessed Qin Xiaoyue’s breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. Therefore, she redoubled her cultivation efforts.

Li Su, not wanting to disturb her, continued refining elixirs within the Flying Immortal Sect before heading to the Martial Kingdom’s imperial city.

“Husband, I’ve achieved success,” Qin Xiaoyue’s voice echoed, bringing good news upon his arrival in the imperial city. She had accomplished her goal, and Li Su hadn’t pressured her to bear his child. Considering her recent Golden Core breakthrough, he had emphasized the importance of stabilizing her cultivation first.

However, Qin Xiaoyue couldn’t forget Li Su’s words about having a child after marriage. Her love for him deepened, so she didn’t take any measures to prevent pregnancy. Soon, she discovered she wasn’t just expecting one child. She was pregnant with twins! This news delighted them both.

But with Qin Xiaoyue’s pregnancy, they couldn’t stay in the imperial city. Li Su tried to move the wordless stone tablet, but it was too heavy and could be damaged. Qin Xiaoyue shook her head, saying it couldn’t be moved.

However, after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, Qin Xiaoyue discovered she could move the stone tablet. The catch was that she had to ensure it made contact with the ground within a certain time frame. It seemed her connection to the stone tablet was fated.

Li Su decided to bring Qin Xiaoyue back to the Li family and relocated the wordless stone tablet to their residence. Inside the Li residence, life became bustling.

Li Su had refined a significant quantity of elixirs, and his concubines’ cultivation levels continued to improve. He had also crafted longevity-enhancing elixirs, extending the lifespan of some of his women. When the family’s population exceeded 100,000, the system’s rewards became even more potent. The longevity elixir could now add 50 years to one’s lifespan, and the rejuvenation elixir had more significant effects on maintaining physical condition.

In the second year, Qin Xiaoyue gave birth to twin daughters for Li Su, one with a fourth-grade spiritual root and one with a fifth-grade spiritual root. This thrilled Li Su, as more children with spiritual roots meant his spiritual roots would improve. His spiritual root was close to reaching the seventh grade, promising even faster cultivation progress.

Li Su allocated 32 years of cultivation and refining experience to the child with a fourth-grade spiritual root and 16 years of each to the child with a fifth-grade spiritual root. He was determined to enhance his alchemy skills, realizing the 1% increase was highly effective.

As time passed, the number of descendants with spiritual roots among Li Su’s descendants rose significantly. The total number of his descendants had exceeded 100,000. In one year, there were three descendants with spiritual roots, a remarkable increase compared to before.

Li Su soon noticed that the cultivation reward had increased to 200 years when the number of his descendants with spiritual roots surpassed 110. This advantageous change allowed his cultivation to become even more potent and rapid.

……

“Husband, I’m pregnant again!” Qin Xiaoyue found herself expecting once more. Inside the Flying Immortal Sect, there was still no word about the sect leader’s progress in reaching the Yuan Infant stage. Even with the Existence Pill, achieving this breakthrough was far from guaranteed. It might take several years to prepare and reach the right conditions.

As Qin Xiaoyue’s second child was not yet born, the number of Li Su’s descendants with spiritual potential had grown to more than 110. Furthermore, their ranks were steadily increasing.

On this particular day, in the main hall of the Li family, a gathering of hundreds of descendants, the most exceptional among Li Su’s progeny, took place. Their excellence extended beyond their spiritual potential. Each of them showed promise in becoming a capable assistant to Li Su.

Li Su generously distributed numerous elixirs, primarily those for extending lifespans. He also crafted elixirs to enhance their physical constitutions, ensuring that at least his descendants could become proficient in either acquired or innate realms.

While achieving immortality was nearly impossible without spiritual potential, those born into the Li family generally enjoyed longer lifespans, increasing their chances of success. With the growing number of descendants possessing spiritual potential, especially those with high-grade potential, the Li family gradually evolved into a powerful clan of cultivators.

Li Su was patient and took it one step at a time. He understood that some of his outstanding daughters preferred not to marry and wished to remain in the family to contribute. He didn’t force them, knowing that independent cultivators in the martial world were eager to marry Li Su’s exceptional daughters due to the family’s reputation.

However, these daughters had little interest in such suitors, as their father set a high standard. They admired him deeply and found seeing anyone else as a suitable match challenging.

Feeling content in the Li family, they were willing to remain unmarried if necessary, and Li Su respected their choices.

“Husband, how did this happen again?” Qin Xiaoyue was feeling overwhelmed. After giving birth to their second child, she became pregnant again. In a little over three years, she had given birth to four children for Li Su, including a pair of twins.

Among these children, three possessed spiritual potential, while one did not. Despite the rapid succession of births, the efficiency was notably higher than Su Yun’s. The twins were particularly special, both having fourth-grade spiritual potential.

“I’ve reached the eighth layer of the Golden Elixir stage,” Li Su shared his current cultivation level. His spirit root had also improved to the seventh grade, a significant achievement.

With around 120 descendants possessing spiritual potential, he was approaching 130. The twin daughters with fourth-grade spiritual roots were outstanding, and Li Su cherished their time together.

With such exceptional spiritual roots, these daughters might not be willing to marry. Li Su was hesitant to let them go, as their marriages wouldn’t significantly enhance his strength due to the distant bloodline connection. With a seventh-grade spiritual root, Li Su’s cultivation was advancing rapidly, and he was on track to reach the ninth layer of the Golden Elixir stage in a few years.

“Has Master not yet broken through to the Yuan Infant (Nascent Soul) stage?” Li Su inquired again, concerned about his master’s progress. It had been almost four years with no news of a breakthrough.

The transition from the Golden Core to the Yuan Infant stage was challenging. While moving from the Foundation Establishment to the Core Formation stage might sound simple, cultivators often achieve the Golden Core stage for many years or even their entire lifetimes.

He hoped the Master would succeed. The Sect Leader had also not reached the Yuan Infant stage. However, at this moment, new information emerged: spies of the Flying Immortal Sect discovered traces of a daring demonic cultivator who had annihilated an entire small city, leading to tens of thousands of casualties. Furthermore, the Flying Immortal Sect’s investigating disciples had gone missing.
