Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 39: 500 Points, Breaking Through the Golden Core Realm

Chapter 39: 500 Points, Breaking Through the Golden Core Realm

Soon, the fourth year after the bet with the leader arrived. The success in the fourth year actually depended on the hard work in the third year.

After all, even if she was an immortal, she still needed ten months of pregnancy.

It was said that some children with surprisingly good aptitude would show some abnormalities in the womb and might even need to stay there longer. For example, Su Yun was born at 11 months old.

At the beginning of this year, Li Su made an exception and accepted an ordinary woman. He rarely took mortal women as concubines now, but Li Su would make an exception if the woman was exceptional.

Being exceptional didnt just mean being exceptionally beautiful. Of course, appearance was a mandatory requirement. According to the systems criteria, any concubine accepted by Li Su must score above 8 in terms of beauty, and there was no reward for having more offspring.

The systems standards were relatively high. In the eyes of others, a score of 8 in the system might be considered a beauty, with a score of 9 or higher. Being exceptional also meant being particularly intelligent, virtuous, or considerate.

This time, Li Su accepted Liu Wanyue, known as the most beautiful woman in the Wu Kingdom for the past ten years, with both talent and beauty.

This type of woman attracted the attention of many people due to her exceptional qualities. Even some casual cultivators were interested.

She grew up listening to Li Sus stories since childhood. After meeting Li Su at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she could never forget him.

So she composed a song for Li Su called The Fate of Flowers, which described the scene and her feelings when she first met him. This song gained widespread popularity.

After Li Su heard it, he met her and found that Liu Wanyue truly suited his taste, so he accepted her as a concubine.

Although she had no spiritual roots, there was no problem. Li Su simply liked her.

Li Su had boundaries regarding his actions, but he would not completely restrict himself.

Liu Wanyue soon became pregnant. After three more months, a female cultivator gave birth to a descendant with spiritual roots for Li Su.

Finally, Li Sus descendants with spiritual roots exceeded 60.

Li Su looked and saw that after receiving the cultivation rewards for the descendants with spiritual roots surpassing 60, his alchemical energy had successfully reached 500 points.

I wasted some of them, Li Su thought.

Five hundred points were the maximum, and more than ten years of cultivation seemed to have vanished. He wondered if it would be returned to him after breaking through the golden core. After reaching 500 points, he could break through the golden core.

Li Su didnt rush to break through. He chose the reward first. This time, Li Su chose formation experience as the reward for the descendants with spiritual roots surpassing 60. By accumulating formation experience, he could learn and possibly even interpret that killing formation.

That killing array was extremely powerful, as it managed to trap a demon cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above for many years, making it highly valuable.

Formation experience was a fundamental experience. It didnt imply being low-level. Fundamental meant universally applicable experience. It applied to all formations without delving into overly specific ones.

The more formation experience Li Su gained, the deeper his understanding of formations became. When encountering advanced formations, it became easier for him to interpret them.

Moreover, with abundant formation experience, Li Su could develop his own formations. Of course, studying some powerful formations that took many years of research for others might require a significant amount of time.

By leveraging formation experience to learn pre-existing formations, it became incredibly easy.

Li Su had two hundred years of formation experience, two hundred years of alchemical experience, and an additional hundred years of experience in weapon refining.

Based on the current trend, during Li Sus transition from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, his three types of experience might all exceed a thousand years!

A thousand years of experience in formations, alchemy, and weapon refining!

By then, he could be considered a master of formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting!

As for the rewards for enhancing consciousness, it seemed that some special points would appear. When the offspring with spiritual talents reached the age of 60, they did not appear.

After receiving the reward, Li Su bathed and changed his attire. He put on new clothes that were stitched together by his many concubines.

Then, Li Su arrived at the main hall of the Li family. He intended to break through the Golden Core here.

You have accumulated 500 points of alchemy energy. Would you like to condense the Golden Core? The system panel displayed the prompt.

Li Su had not made a selection yet. He only needed to choose yes. So, Li Su chose yes.

With Li Sus choice, changes occurred. Previously, the alchemy energy was not inside his body but stored in the system.

The alchemy energy began to pour into Li Sus body frantically. Five hundred points of alchemy energy represented a staggering 500 years of cultivation!

This was comparable to a cultivator with a spiritual talent close to the eighth rank who had practiced for 500 years. Theoretically, the probability of breaking through the Golden Core was extremely low, even with an eighth-rank spiritual talent.

It wasnt impossible, but it required the best cultivation, the best techniques, and an unlimited supply of pills. However, that was extremely rare. Therefore, it was impossible for an eighth-rank spiritual talent to cultivate for 500 years.

All this energy had transformed into Li Sus alchemy energy. As the alchemy energy entered, Li Sus true essence began to stir, continuously condensing and becoming purer.

The alchemy energy completely assisted Li Su in advancing toward the Golden Core without any risk. Simultaneously, it allowed Li Sus Golden Core grade to be higher.

This process continued for an hour until a Golden Core had already taken shape in Li Sus dantian. However, the energy of the formed pill continued to pour in without stopping.

The size of the Golden Core grew larger and larger. Finally, the 500 points of alchemy energy were depleted, and Li Sus Golden Core was fully formed. Li Su let out a long roar.

At the same time, even ordinary people could sense a terrifying power in the entire Li Mansion and the surrounding area, making their hearts tremble.

Within the Li Mansion, a beam of light shot up into the sky.

This was the radiance emitted when the Golden Core was just formed, similar to the radiance when alchemy was completed but even more astonishing. These two types of pills were not the same.

The Golden Core had been achieved!
