Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Senior Li, on behalf of the Falling Cloud Sect, Ive come to offer congratulations and a gift.

From the Falling Cloud Sect? Is Elder He not joining us this time? Li Su casually inquired.

Senior Li, Elder He had some urgent matters to attend to, so Ive come on his behalf, Elder Zhong quickly replied. He didnt mention that Elder He had been constantly shuttling to the Li Residence over the past year, leaving him only two months for cultivation and causing great stress.

Gradually, elders from various other sects also arrived. Li Su noticed that some elders from other sects had been replaced, but he didnt pay much attention.

After graciously accepting their gifts, he planned to send return gifts later. Initially, these sects presented generous gifts to express their sincerity, but they hadnt anticipated Li Sus graciousness.

Receiving such lavish gifts initially made the other sects hesitate to reduce the value of subsequent gifts. Li Su was continuously taking in concubines, and if this continued, having these sects send extravagant congratulatory gifts for an extended period would become awkward.

Li Su didnt want to take advantage of others and risk developing a bad reputation, so he reciprocated.

Another female cultivator had been welcomed into his household, a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator from a prestigious cultivation clan.

Cultivation clans in the Northern Region held a higher status than those in the Hopeful Immortal Sect. However, no cultivation clan in the Northern Region had reached the level of possessing Nascent Soul cultivators. Li Sus Li Clan was now considered strong enough to rival the sects.

Li Sus Li Clan had three Golden Core cultivators aside from himself: Su Yun, Qin Xiaoyu, and Immortal Qin. Immortal Qin had already given birth to a child with decent spiritual roots and was now expecting her second child.

Among Li Sus descendants, several had already achieved foundation-building cultivation. In this recent wave, Li Su had gained significant benefits from the sects ancestral site, refining many pills with aged spiritual herbs.

These aged herbs had remarkable medicinal effects, and Li Su had to be cautious with their dosages to avoid overly potent pills that could harm cultivators.

Has Phantom Moon not succeeded yet? After welcoming a new concubine, Li Su went to see Saintess Phantom Moon and found her still breaking the Demon seal, which had taken longer than initially expected.

Sensing her condition, Li Su decided not to disturb her, suspecting she might have made discoveries and was using mysterious techniques.

Phantom Moon had reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul cultivation, which was puzzling considering her earlier Golden Core stage several hundred years ago.

Demonic cultivators faced significant risks in their late stages, such as powerful thunder tribulations during Nascent Soul breakthroughs. Li Su sealed Phantom Moons room, allowing her to focus on her cultivation.

After assessing her condition, Li Su sent his daughter Mengmeng, whom he had with Phantom Moon, to the Watermoon Sect. She was now 12 years old.

Mengmeng, Xinyue Auntie will be your sect master at the Watermoon Sect. You must listen to her, okay? Li Su reassured her.

Okay! Although reluctant to leave Li Su, Mengmeng nodded understandingly.

Dont worry, fellow Taoist Li. Ill treat Mengmeng like my own daughter, Liu Xinyue assured.

Fellow Taoist Li, Ive prepared a banquet to thank you for your help, Liu Xinyue said during the banquet.

The twins, Nascent Soul cultivators, hosted Li Su and shared the Watermoon Sects history passed down from their Master.

Their Master had faced hardships, including a broken heart in her youth and captivity by a demonic cultivator. Still, she avenged herself and reached the Nascent Soul stage before passing. She then established the Watermoon Sect, exclusively admitting female cultivators and offering them a sanctuary. Having faced hardships herself, she aimed to protect others.

Nevertheless, even after reaching the Nascent Soul pinnacle, her Master couldnt advance. Several hundred years ago, she had exhausted her lifespan despite trying every available longevity elixir and had passed away, entrusting the Watermoon Sect to Liu Xinyue and Liu Xinshui.

Cultivation is a race against time. If you cant keep up, you may end up as dust. I wonder if Ill follow in my Masters footsteps over a thousand years later, Liu Xinyue sighed, feeling somewhat disheartened.

You wont, Sister. We can both reach the Deity Transformation stage! Liu Xinshui assured her.

Fellow Taoist Li, please forgive me for speaking too much today. Ive had too much to drink, which has made me a bit talkative, Liu Xinyue apologized with a slight hint of intoxication.

Li Su spent ten days at the Watermoon Sect, assisting them in reinforcing their protective sect formation. With his current expertise in formations, ten days of enhancement had already made a significant difference. If he wanted to strengthen it fully, Li Su didnt have much time right now, so this would suffice.

Upon returning to his residence, Li Su resumed taking on concubines.

Head Sect Master, Li Su has taken in another concubine, Elder Zhong reported.

Elder Zhong, prepare ten sets of the same celebratory gifts. Take them along with spiritual stones and pills, and go cultivate near the Li Residence. After presenting these ten gifts, he probably wont be taking in concubines so frequently, the Head Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sect advised.

This was a strategy he had come up with. After all, Golden Core cultivators needed to prioritize their cultivation. While their lifespans were at least five hundred years or more, wasting a year meant one less. Therefore, apart from pursuing opportunities or participating in events, Golden Core cultivators typically devoted their time to cultivation.

Understood, Head Sect Master, Elder Zhong accepted the plan. It wasnt just the Falling Cloud Sect. Several other sects were also adopting similar approaches.
