Chapter 51: Great Rewards

Chapter 51: Great Rewards

The rewards are excellent. Li Su thought as he observed the descendants with spiritual roots breaking through a hundred.

First, it granted a thousand years of cultivation, a substantial upgrade from the previous 100 years. Li Su doubted there would be such generous rewards when the number of spiritual root descendants reached 110. It would likely revert to 100 years.

Having gained 1000 years of cultivation, Li Sus cultivation base soared from the third level of the Golden Core to the fifth level, which was a tremendous leap. However, he couldnt advance two levels in one go, even with this boost, due to his current eighth-grade spiritual root and first-grade Golden Core.

The advancement from the first-grade Golden Core to the next level required a significant amount of cultivation. The higher the grade, the more potent the Golden Core, but it also demanded greater effort. The sect leaders earlier concern was justified.

Ascending from one Golden Core level to another took considerable time, over 300 years from the first to the second level and around 500 years from the second to the third level. The requirements for progressing from the third to the fourth, and then from the fourth to the fifth level, would be even more demanding.

Despite this, Li Su acquired hundreds of years of scattered cultivation in recent years, in addition to the 1000-year reward, which pushed him directly to the late stage of the fifth level of the Golden Core.

Looking ahead, when the descendants population surpassed 100,000, it should entail a reward of a thousand years of cultivation. Another thousand years of cultivation would easily propel Li Su to the sixth level of the Golden Core and perhaps even the seventh level.

Li Su currently had over 90,000 descendants, and it would not be long before it reached 100,000. Due to his numerous female cultivator recruits and personal advancements, the rate of his descendants with spiritual roots exceeded the overall growth rate of the descendants. These substantial rewards would greatly enhance Li Sus strength and propel him to new heights.

If I could push myself to the seventh level of the Golden Core in one go, Id be in the late stage of Golden Core! Li Su thought.

Li Su was over one hundred and eighty years old. Its been a little over twenty years since he broke through to the Golden Core stage, and in this short time, he had advanced from the first floor to the seventh floor. This speed was simply astounding.

Of course, without these two significant rewards, it would have taken Li Su many more years. He spent over 160 years accumulating the reward of 100 offspring with spiritual roots and another 100,000 descendants.

However, having 100,000 descendants with a millennium cultivation base might not guarantee to reach the seventh level of the Golden Core. Advancing each level in the Golden Core stage was no easy task, especially with an eighth-grade spiritual root like Li Sus.

A Heavenly Spiritual Root with a millennium of cultivation would easily reach the Nascent Soul stage. Even with a ninth-grade Golden Core instead of a first-grade, and considering the two significant rewards along with the previous ones, Li Su would probably reach the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Despite this, Li Su didnt regret concealing a first-grade Golden Core. He clearly felt the power of his first-grade Golden Core when casting spells. It enhanced his spellcasting speed, amplified his power, and strengthened his endurance in prolonged battles.

This time, the reward for descendants with spiritual roots breaking 100 was impressive. There was an additional optional reward of a thousand years of experience.

Wow, thats fantastic! A thousand years of experience! Li Su exclaimed.

Moreover, Li Su could choose from several options, which had been expanded to seven types with three new ones, talismans, puppets, and secret manuals.

Talismans, puppets, and secret manuals? Thats intriguing, Li Su mused.

Talismans involved crafting spiritual symbols or talismans, while puppets were advanced mechanism techniques used to create spiritual puppets. As for secret manuals, they granted a unique experience.

After Li Su received a secret manual, he could use the secret book experience. However, there was a limitation, and he could not select cultivation or kung fu secret manuals to improve his cultivation.

This experience allowed Li Su to study a chosen secret manual for a specified time, similar to having the knowledge of that manual for the duration.

That sounds like a great opportunity to learn powerful techniques, Li Su thought.

The reason for excluding cultivation and kung fu secret manuals was likely that the systems reward for Li Sus cultivation was pure and not influenced by any specific technique, making it the most authentic form of cultivation.

I guess thats why they dont want me to mix it with any specific technique, Li Su reasoned.

During the Qi refining period, Li Su felt that his true energy was more potent than that of cultivators at the same level.

Li Su contemplates using this experience for powerful cheats he might encounter. He decided to allocate 400 years of experience to enhance his formation skills to a remarkable level.

With 1000 years of formation experience, Li Sus proficiency in formations became formidable.

He believed that he could better understand that killing formation if he were to encounter it again.

Li Su was not in a hurry to act, nor was he in a hurry to use the remaining experience. He decided to wait until he faced the killing formation to see if the 1000 years of formation experience would be sufficient. If it proved enough, Li Su planned to allocate the remaining experience to alchemy.

As a senior elder of the Flying Immortal Sect, Li Su had access to better medicinal materials, and his alchemy skills had improved significantly. He could craft superior elixirs to aid his women, especially Su Yun. It might even be helpful to the sects head, who was finding it challenging to break through to the Golden Core stage due to age.

Compared to the alchemists in the Flying Immortal Sect, who were at most at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Sus attainments in alchemy would far surpass them once he allocated the experience to alchemy. After absorbing all the experience and 1000 years of cultivation, Li Su felt he had the whole world in his eyes.

After spending a few days at home consolidating his newfound strength, Li Su didnt wait for his descendants to break 100,000 but set off again. He was determined to face the killing formation head-on and completely crack it. With this accomplishment, Li Su was confident he could control the killing array, and all the initiative in dealing with the demon cultivators inside would be in his hands.

Moreover, understanding the killing formation thoroughly would give Li Su the power to arrange it effectively.
