Chapter 252
Li Su’s concubine and descendants also had an increasing demand for spirit stones, so he needed to keep some in reserve.
“We have the materials, Li Su. Even if we provide the materials, the value of a top-grade magical treasure is higher than these spiritual herbs and elixirs. You can choose some more,” said Peak Master Dieyun, somewhat excited.
For Nascent Soul cultivators, top-tier and top-grade magic weapons were highly desirable. Naturally, Peak Master Dieyun wanted to use a top-grade magic weapon. There weren’t many craftsmen capable of forging top-grade magic weapons, and even in the Returning Origin Sect, a Third-Rank Immortal Sect, their craftsmanship was limited to middle-grade magic weapons. Top-tier and top-grade magic weapons often required specific and rare materials and skilled artificers, which weren’t easily obtainable. Therefore, Peak Master Dieyun had only one top-grade magic weapon and not a complete set.
“That’s great. Prepare the materials, Peak Master, and I’ll return to the Northern Territory. I’ll be back in a year to forge it,” Li Su said.
“Good!” Peak Master Dieyun wasn’t concerned about Li Su not returning.
Li Su returned to the Northern Territory, and when he returned this time, the cultivators from the Central Continent began to arrive one after another. Li Su spent three months consecutively refining pills within the Flying Immortal Sect.
After three months, Li Su emerged from the Flying Immortal Sect’s alchemy chamber. His first stop was the sect leader’s residence.
Upon entering, Li Su noticed that the sect leader was practicing in her residence hall. Sensing Li Su’s presence, she opened her eyes. She seemed to have adjusted her state and was prepared for a long period of seclusion. However, the night from a few months ago still left a subtle hint of shyness in her eyes when she faced Li Su.
“Master, these pills should be sufficient for you to cultivate up to Nascent Soul,” Li Su said as he handed over many pill bottles. He also brought out some heavenly and earthly spiritual items that could be used directly, along with many spirit stones. These items should be ample for the sect leader to reach Nascent Soul. However, it was uncertain how long it would take her to achieve that stage after forming her immortal foundation. In sacred places, reaching Nascent Soul could take six to seven hundred years for someone with a spiritual root. The sect leader was now close to six hundred years old, while Li Su was in his early thirties. However, she had a setback with her foundation earlier, which cost her some time. It was not as if that time was entirely wasted. During those years, the sect leader also solidified her foundations, which could be seen as a process of accumulating strength. She spent over fifty years in the Nascent Soul stage, reaching the fourth level.
The pills Li Su prepared for her were exceptionally rare, with many only being able to be concocted by Li Su. In Li Su’s opinion, with his assistance, the sect leader could reach the Nascent Soul stage within two hundred years, which should be the maximum time frame. If things went well, it might take over a hundred years.
The sect leader didn’t refuse. However, after Li Su had put everything down, she handed him a storage pouch.
“Li Su, these things are for you,” the sect leader said. Li Su didn’t accept them. He knew the sect leader and her aunt probably felt they owed him too much. So, the sect leader’s aunt had emptied her resources for him, and the sect leader was planning to follow Li Su’s example and insist on giving them to him. However, as she attempted to do so, her body suddenly froze. Li Su was holding her in place.
“Master, if you feel uncomfortable about it, just reach the Nascent Soul stage quickly and have a child for me, but not right now…” Li Su’s voice echoed.
The sect leader’s face turned red, and her eyes showed a hint of helplessness. After that night, she had adjusted her mindset and was prepared to go into seclusion for a hundred years. As someone from a prominent family, she still held some value in following her parents’ wishes and traditional practices, such as arranged marriages. Before officially marrying Li Su, she had never considered having that kind of relationship with him. Even though the unexpected happened that night, she had no regrets. However, she didn’t plan to repeat it until they officially married. But now, it was clear that Li Su was once again interested…
In the end, Li Su left the Flying Immortal Sect the next day feeling refreshed. Even though a year would be far from enough time, Li Su feared that staying longer might affect the sect leader’s state of mind. Right now, her primary focus needed to be advancing her cultivation. Therefore, Li Su restrained his desires and left the Flying Immortal Sect. The sect leader adjusted her state of mind and embarked on a lengthy period of seclusion. This time, her seclusion would be quite long, although, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it wouldn’t be considered very long at all. Some Nascent Soul cultivators even had periods of seclusion lasting thousands of years.
