LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 27 - Li Su's Rising Fame
Chapter 27: Li Su’s Rising Fame
There were still plenty of items in the storage bag of the cultivator Bai. Besides the pills, there were also some other things. There were also hundreds of spiritual stones. Some of these items should have been obtained from the cultivators of the seven cultivating families he wiped out.
As a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he didn’t value ordinary things, so these items still held some value.
Li Su picked up a book whose cover was missing, but the contents inside were strange. It describes how to use the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators and mortals for alchemy and medicine. The pills made through this method were called human alchemy.
Pills made by combining Qi refining stage cultivators with certain special herbs were highly useful for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. These pills also required some time for digestion and absorption.
The book also contains even more cruel pills, such as infant pills. The method of using infants with spiritual roots…just the thought of it gives people goosebumps.
Su Yun curiously glanced at it but immediately regretted it as she almost vomited. Therefore, she quickly moved aside and decided not to look at it anymore.
“No wonder this guy’s cultivation has been advancing so quickly,” Li Su said.
Li Su put the book back into the cultivator Bai’s storage bag, intending to hand it over to the sect leader for handling.
Even if the demonic cultivators progress rapidly, Li Su had no intention of learning from them. As a transmigrator and system host, stooping to such evil practices would be beneath him. It would be more appropriate to rename himself the Shame of the Traveler.
In addition to the book, Li Su also found a black slate with strange writing on it. There was also a black token with a simple design and the word “Holy” on it. Li Su tapped the token and found that its material was surprisingly superior, far better than the Flying Immortal Sect’s token.
What is this token? Li Su wondered and decided to keep the token and slate for further research.
Li Su also collected the black banner belonging to the cultivator Bai. Li Su had no intention of turning these three items in and planned to study them.
It would help him better understand demonic cultivators in case they were to encounter them again in the future.
Afterward, Li Su put the remaining items, including the spiritual stones, back into his storage bag.
“Let’s go, junior sister,” Li Su said, releasing the flying boat and placing the severely injured cultivator Bai on it.
Su Yun finally regained her composure and boarded the flying boat.
“Senior Brother, why are these demonic cultivators so cruel? How can they harm such young infants?” Su Yun asked.
Li Su replied, “Otherwise, why would they be called demonic cultivators? To them, everything in the world is merely a means to enhance their cultivation. Even if it means exterminating an entire nation, they will not hesitate.”
“Fortunately, Senior Brother, you discovered him. Otherwise, who knows how many more lives would have been lost,” Su Yun said, expressing her gratitude towards Li Su.
Su Yun looked at Li Su with admiration in her eyes.
The flying boat quickly approached the location of the main force of the Flying Immortal Sect.
However, when Li Su’s flying boat drew closer, he realized that the sect leader was absent.
After a while, the sect leader returned from Mangkang Mountain, holding a huge monster head in her hand.
Li Su recognized it as the head of the stegosaurus-like monster. This monster should be a third-order beast comparable to the Golden Core stage, and the sect leader had finally killed it!
The disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect below cheered. This cunning third-order monster’s death would significantly increase the speed of the Flying Immortal Sect’s advancement.
Once this area was cleared and a large formation was established based on the terrain, they could begin mining. The sect leader threw the monster’s head onto the flying immortal boat, likely having also taken its demon pill. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Upon seeing Li Su’s return, her gaze swept over him and then on the cultivator Bai.
“Sect Leader, I have successfully captured the mastermind behind the destruction of the seven major families,” Li Su said.
Li Su explained the situation to the Sect Leader.
Throughout her words, there was evident praise and admiration for Li Su.
After listening, the Sect Leader’s gaze toward Li Su became noticeably brighter, showing appreciation.
“You’ve done well,” the Sect Leader commended.
“I will have the Foreign Affairs Hall reward you with one thousand contribution points. You may keep the Flying Immortal Talisman. Additionally, I will negotiate for some benefits on your behalf at the Lieyang Gate,” the Sect Leader informed.
“Thank you, Master,” Li Su expressed his gratitude.
The Sect Leader’s gaze shifted towards him, considering saying something further but ultimately refrained.
It seemed like she wanted to advise Li Su, but ultimately, she chose not to speak.
“Master, this is his storage bag. There are three items inside that I plan to study. Rest assured, I will not engage in demonic cultivation techniques,” Li Su assured the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader felt confident about Li Su and didn’t say anything.
However, after taking the storage bag, she handed over the hundreds of spiritual stones inside to Li Su, adding a little more to make it a total of ten thousand spiritual stones.
Ten thousand spiritual stones were not a trivial amount. After reaching the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Su would only receive 600 spiritual stones per year. It would take 17 years to accumulate that much.
“These spiritual stones are for you. If you require any techniques, feel free to choose them from the library,” the Sect Leader offered.
“Thank you, Master,” Li Su accepted the spiritual stones.
The Sect Leader seemed to have something more to say, but ultimately, she chose not to.
“If there is nothing else, I will take my leave, Master,” Li Su said.
Having settled the matter here, Li Su prepared to bid farewell.
Once the Bai cultivator was handed over to the Sect Leader, she would naturally assign someone to deal with him and likely investigate his background. This person had also wiped out four cultivating families in the Four Qi Kingdom, so the Lieyang Gate would not let him off either. Li Su didn’t need to worry about it.
The Sect Leader nodded in response. “Go ahead.”
“Junior Sister, see you in the future,” Li Su bid farewell to Su Yun.
“Take care, Senior Brother,” Su Yun replied.
After saying their goodbyes, Li Su boarded the flying boat and left Mangkang Mountain.
After half a day, he returned to the Li Mansion. Everything in the Li Mansion was as usual.
The capture of the Bai cultivator had not yet been spread. Li Su continued to cultivate silently.
After spending a few months in this peaceful life, news arrived from the Flying Immortal Sect that Mangkang Mountain had been successfully dealt with.
There were scattered spiritual stones in the area where the Flying Immortal Sect was located. The other two sects also had their own gains. The Spiritual Stone Mine had been settled.
In the future, when the spiritual stones in the three sect areas were depleted and expansion to new areas became necessary, disputes might arise, but that was a matter for later.
As news of the Bai cultivator’s capture spread, Li Su’s reputation in the world of cultivating immortals in the Wu Kingdom became exceptionally prominent.
Many cultivation families had gathered near the Flying Immortal Sect due to the destruction of the three cultivation families, so they had heard the news.
Li Su became known to many cultivators in the Four Qi Kingdom, the Northern Yan Kingdom, and the other two major sects.
