Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 182

Several sect leaders from the various sects breathed a sigh of relief, impressed by Li Su’s outlook and determination. And so, in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. During this time, Li Su had contacted Bai Ling through a conch shell, hoping to learn some information about the sea clans’ assembly.

Bai Ling didn’t hide anything from Li Su, but due to the limitations of the conch shell’s communication, she couldn’t provide very detailed information. She mentioned that the various Mermaid clans were exploring an ancient underwater ruin located relatively far from the North Sea. The time required for exploring the ruin was uncertain, similar to the previous Immortal Sect ruins that had taken nearly half a year, even with Li Su’s assistance.

Without Li Su’s help, it would undoubtedly take even longer. After Bai Ling united the six Mermaid clans, the Mermaid race finally gained recognition from other sea clans and participated in various actions within the sea clans.

The Northern Region remained peaceful. The sect leaders were still in seclusion and hadn’t emerged yet. On the other hand, Bi Luo conceived another child with Li Su. Mystic Moon hadn’t returned yet, and Li Su had a feeling that when she did, she might be very close to reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

This time, Mystic Moon had been away for quite a while, and Li Su was starting to miss the witch. He continued to take concubines and, at the same time, delved into the study of new things. For instance, the last time his spiritual root descendants reached 500, Li Su received 5,000 years of experience. He increased his skill in Puppetry to 3,000 years, and he made some improvements in alchemy and artifact crafting.

As for his spiritual power, there was no need to strengthen it separately because the system’s rewards directly enhanced his Primordial Spirit, which included strengthening his spiritual power. However, his spiritual awareness could still be strengthened. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the strength of one’s spiritual awareness depended on the strength of the Primordial Spirit. However, Li Su could further enhance it by focusing on it separately.

Another year passed, and within the Water Moon Sect, several more Golden Core female cultivators were taken in by Li Su. At this point, he had already accepted half of the Golden Core female cultivators within the sect. These female cultivators reached the Golden Core stage, and their spiritual roots were decent.

Consequently, the spiritual roots of the descendants of Li Su had with them were also quite good. This caused Li Su’s spiritual roots to progress towards the fourth-grade level continuously. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it was necessary to further upgrade the spiritual roots, as without this, Li Su would require an exceptionally large amount of cultivation to advance each stage. His Purple Gold Primordial Spirit had a terrifying demand for cultivation. This primordial spirit, other than the fifth-grade spiritual roots, was impossible to cultivate.

Even with a first-grade spiritual root, it was impossible without sufficient opportunities. For example, a first-grade Golden Core could be condensed, and a first-grade spiritual root was not a problem for a top-notch Nascent Soul.

However, for a Purple-Golden primordial spirit, having a first-grade spiritual root might not be enough. So, for Li Su to advance one level now required an extremely large amount of cultivation. Simply put, a fifth-grade spiritual root was not a match for a Purple-Golden primordial spirit. But, against all odds, Li Su managed to do it. Therefore, if he wanted to level up, it would naturally be difficult, even if possible.

Two years later, the number of descendants in the Li family exceeded 600,000 in one fell swoop, and the rewards they received allowed Li Su to break through to the second level of Nascent Transformation successfully. Furthermore, this time, Li Su also received a special reward. Among his descendants, if there were variations in the quality of their spiritual roots, there was a chance of receiving certain special bonuses. For instance, luck and fortune could help them find better opportunities.

The chance of this happening was still very small, at only 0.01%, which might seem tiny, but compared to the original probability, it might have already doubled. “Second level of Nascent Transformation.” After absorbing the cultivation and feeling his power further enhanced, Li Su stretched his lazy waist. Despite Li Su’s perception that leveling up seemed somewhat difficult, given the vast amount of cultivation required, it was worth noting that only a little over six years had passed since he set out on his path to achieve Nascent Transformation.

In the Nascent Transformation stage, breaking through one level in just six years was remarkable. This speed of progress was indeed unique, except for some who practiced forbidden techniques or individuals like the likes of Mystic Moon, who could obtain power from the Demon Realm through deception.

Even magic practitioners could not compare to Li Su, not even Mystic Moon. No matter how quickly she grew, she was still in great danger when facing tribulations. Li Su’s progress was indeed steady and unrivaled among peers. He was the strongest at his level.

Seeing himself reach the second level of Nascent Transformation, Li Su was in a great mood. So, he took another concubine. In the northern region, things became lively once again. Li Su’s addition of a new concubine became a topic of discussion among the cultivators in the area. Li Su had already taken in a significant portion of the Golden Core female cultivators from the Water Moon Sect, and the rest were still in seclusion without knowledge of the outside situation. “Elder Li is too powerful, nabbing so many Golden Core female cultivators.” “Yes, and they are all from the Water Moon Sect.” “If he keeps going like this, he might take in all of the Water Moon Sect’s members!”

“……”

Many of the cultivators in the northern region were green with envy. The Water Moon Sect held quite a reputation in the area, entirely composed of female cultivators. Numerous male cultivators harbored dreams of joining the Water Moon Sect or becoming the beloved of the female cultivators inside.

However, it was naturally impossible for them to achieve this. Now, Li Su was consecutively taking in the beautiful female cultivators from the Water Moon Sect. They must be incredibly envious. Besides discussing it, these cultivators didn’t dare say anything else behind Li Su’s back.

Li Su was now a Nascent Transformation powerhouse, and on top of that, the Water Moon Sect’s leadership hadn’t objected to this, and all the female cultivators had volunteered. Others had no right to interfere. The concerns of these cultivators were not without reason.

After Li Su had taken in most of the existing Golden Core female cultivators from the Water Moon Sect, he started to accept some exceptional Foundation Establishment female cultivators. There were several Foundation Establishment female cultivators in the Water Moon Sect, numbering in the hundreds. “Li Su will take in all the celestial maidens from the Water Moon Sect!” “I’m so envious of Li Su’s physique!”

“……”

The discussions among the northern region’s cultivators continued. On the other hand, after Li Su had accepted a few more cultivators from the Water Moon Sect, the conch finally sounded. Bai Ling had some news. The sea clans had emerged from that ancient relic, and they had made some good gains. Each clan received a substantial share of treasures, and the Mermaid clan was no exception. However, the powerful individuals from various sea clans wanted the Mermaid clan to lead the charge and cooperate with the sea clan’s elites in dealing with the Blue Star Sect, attempting to retrieve the fragments of their sacred artifact. Bai Ling conveyed this to Li Su and asked if he had any ideas.
