Chapter 14: The Immortals’s Harvester
“Whoosh~
A sword light flashed across the sky.
“I don’t know which senior it is.”
“Flying so fast. At least he is a senior in the late stage of Qi refining.”
“Maybe it’s Senior Li. I wonder if he’ll attend this year’s wandering cultivators gathering. He guided me a decade ago, and I’ve made significant progress since then.”
In the dense forest below, two casual practitioners at the Qi Refining stage were enviously discussing.
The wandering cultivator’s gathering occurred every ten years and was about to commence again. Numerous wandering cultivators were approaching Immortal Desolate Peak and its surroundings.
“Senior, we were just talking about you earlier, and now you’re really here. That’s wonderful.”
Upon Li Su’s arrival at Immortal Desolate Peak, wandering cultivators started flocking to him.
Ten years ago, Li Su provided invaluable guidance to the wandering cultivators here, saving them from unnecessary detours. They were extremely grateful for his assistance.
Seeing Li Su’s arrival, many wandering cultivators were delighted. They knew that his advice was tailored perfectly to their needs. Even seeking guidance from other talented cultivators with exceptional spiritual roots didn’t yield the same results as Li Su’s teachings.
Naturally, it was impossible for a mediocre person to learn from the experience of a genius. Though these wandering cultivators were immortal cultivators themselves, they remained aware of their own limitations.
Compared to ten years ago, there were significantly more wandering cultivators in attendance, with numerous new faces among them. Once again, there was a slight shortage.
“Look, that’s Senior Li.”
“Senior Li is younger than the legend.”
“Not only is he young, but Senior Li is also too heroic!”
In the distance, some female cultivators caught sight of Li Su, their eyes filled with admiration.
Since the previous gathering of wandering cultivators, Li Su’s reputation had spread further among their ranks. Many female cultivators flocked around him.
As various wandering cultivators attended the event one after another, some of them sought advice from Li Su.
Li Su provided guidance when a streak of sword light approached. He recognized him as the cultivator surnamed Bai.
It had been ten years since their last encounter, but Li Su could sense a significant improvement in cultivator Bai’s abilities.
Based on Zhang Yuer’s information, cultivator Bai had established their foundation thirty years ago. When Li Su met them a decade ago, he estimated that cultivator Bai was at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
But now, Li Su could feel that cultivator Bai had advanced considerably, possibly reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He was likely at the fourth or even fifth level.
If Li Su was still at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he could not accurately detect the changes in his cultivation.
But after Li Su’s strength improved greatly, his cultivation base was already much higher than that of cultivator Bai. This cultivator, surnamed Bai, didn’t make any cover-ups, so he naturally noticed the change in the opponent’s cultivation base.
It was impossible for a cultivator surnamed Bai to have a golden finger. It was very rare for a casual cultivator to break through the third floor during the foundation building period in ten years.
If this guy really had such excellent aptitude, why didn’t he enter a Sect?
Li Su quietly suppressed his own aura. Perhaps it was intuition. Seeing this monk surnamed Bai twice in a row made Li Su feel that this guy was not good.
Ten years ago, a monk named Bai had taken away a group of casual cultivators, but this time Li Su didn’t see any of those cultivators among the attendees.
When cultivator Bai arrived, his eyes brightened upon seeing Li Su.
“I didn’t expect to encounter you again. It seems you have a fondness for this place,” cultivator Bai remarked with a hidden meaning.
At the last wandering cultivator gathering, the news that Li Su accepted three fairies one after another had already spread.
This guy probably thought that Li Su was here again for the young and beautiful female cultivators.
To some extent, the guy guessed correctly. This time, Li Su’s presence did have that factor.
Ten years ago, despite having spiritual root descendants, he already had ten of them.
Even if Ning Xiaoyu and the others gave birth to Li Su’s children again, the probability of having offspring with spiritual roots decreased.
After the union of two immortal cultivators, the likelihood of having descendants with spiritual roots increases. However, as the number of offspring increases, the probability diminishes. Furthermore, it was challenging for a woman to have an unlimited number of births.
Regardless of their physique, reaching a certain level makes conceiving difficult. Hence, Li Su planned to seize the opportunity of this wandering cultivator gathering to take a few more beautiful female cultivators home.
“Don’t you have the same idea, fellow cultivators?” Li Su replied casually.
“Haha, I’m seeking more assistance. The last time we went to the Blackwood Forest together, I gained a lot, and I’m still reaping the benefits. Brother Li, let’s join forces. Together, we can hunt down the second-order demons without letting a single one escape,” cultivator Bai extended another invitation.
Li Su said, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
Cultivator Bai appeared slightly disappointed, but he didn’t push further. “Then I won’t bother you, Brother Li.”
After the monk named Bai departed, Li Su resumed guiding the wandering cultivators.
The number of arriving cultivators continued to rise. Among all the locations, Li Su’s place attracted the largest gathering of wandering cultivators.
Night fell.
“Senior, this is for you.”
When they were about to leave, a nun shyly handed a handkerchief to Li Su. This was a female cultivator from the Four Qi Kingdoms.
Once there was the first one, there was the second one. Soon, another nun put a pair of embroidery into Li Su’s hand and then ran away while blushing.
Seeing that the female cultivators presented tokens of love to Li Su one after another made other casual cultivators envious. Such scenes were unheard of on Immortal Desolate Peak in the past.
Although these female cultivators had limited aptitude and no hope of establishing a foundation, they were also “fairies” in the eyes of ordinary people.
They were unwilling to compromise themselves before finding someone they truly connected with.
Forming a pair was already considered remarkable in previous gatherings of casual cultivators on Immortal Desolate Peak.
But with Li Su coming twice in a row, nuns were giving him tokens of love. And not just one. It seemed like he was reaping a harvest of fairies.
Some wandering cultivators were worried that if Li Su came a few more times, he might harvest all the outstanding female cultivators.
Not all female cultivators were as beautiful as flowers. There were still some female cultivators with average looks. But it might be it was the effect of the spiritual roots. The female cultivators with spiritual roots were more attractive than ordinary people without spiritual roots.
The three female cultivators who gave Li Su a token of love ten years ago were quite outstanding among the female cultivators.
This time, it was still outstanding.
After all, Li Su possessed strength, status, charm, and good looks. If he weren’t outstanding, even if a female cultivator had feelings for him, she would feel ashamed and hesitant to act.
