BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90
Chapter 90
However, after taking concubines in recent years, fewer female cultivators in the regions of the three major immortal sects met Li Su’s criteria. In the coming years, the number of descendants with spiritual roots wouldn’t grow as quickly as in the past few years. Li Su wasn’t in a hurry, though. After all, there was still one more Saintess. Considering the system’s requirements, Li Su felt it might be sufficient if the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon no longer resisted him.
The Li residence was filled with constant guests for several consecutive days—numerous cultivators had arrived. People near Luo City witnessed such a large gathering of immortals for the first time. In the sky, every day, there were countless streaks of light flying by.
“Wow, Mom, look! There are more immortals again!”
“So many immortals, Mom, are they all going to attend Immortal Li’s birthday?”
In the outskirts of Luo City, one of the favorite activities of some children was to count how many immortals they saw in open spaces. Then, a group of kids would gather and compare who had seen more immortals.
“Congratulations, Elder Li!”
“Elder Li, you’re turning two hundred, and your aura and charm are still outstanding, unlike us, getting old.”
“……”
The elders of the Flying Immortal Sect had all gathered. Some of these elders maintained the appearance of their mid-thirties or forties, while others appeared slightly older. Of course, this mainly pertained to their outward appearance. They were still in good condition, but as they hadn’t paid much attention to their looks when they were young, their aging process couldn’t be easily reversed. Obtaining the Elixir of Youth was challenging, and typically, only female cultivators were willing to go to great lengths to acquire it. Female cultivators also used their inner energy to maintain their appearance, so older female cultivators usually looked much younger than their male counterparts, excluding the influence of the Elixir of Youth.
“Li Su.” At that moment, a voice sounded, and Li Su turned to see that even the Sect Leader had arrived. It was the Sect Leader’s first visit to the Li residence. “Master!” Li Su warmly welcomed the Sect Leader, delighted by her presence. However, Li Su didn’t have much time with the Sect Leader as more guests were still arriving. The Sect Leaders of the other two immortal sects had also come. This 200th birthday celebration for Li Su had become especially lively.
“Haha, Elder Li, I never expected the Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace to end up in your custody.”
“Elder Li, you were already formidable during the Golden Core stage. You’ll be even more remarkable once you reach the Nascent Soul stage.”
The leaders of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Seven Stars Valley greeted Li Su enthusiastically. However, they were unaware that the demure maiden by Li Su’s side, who appeared like a servant, was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace they were discussing. The elders of the Flying Immortal Sect did recognize her, but since they saw that their Sect Leader hadn’t mentioned anything, they remained silent as well.
“Li Su, her secret technique is indeed effective. How do you plan to proceed with her?” Finally, the Sect Leader and Li Su had a chance to speak privately, and the Sect Leader inquired.
“Master, rest assured, she won’t be able to escape from me without giving birth to ten or eight children, and even after giving birth, she still won’t escape,” Li Su reassured the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader was shocked. More children! A few years ago, when Li Su had taken the Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace with him, he had shared the secret technique with the Flying Immortal Sect. At that time, the Sect Leader had thought Li Su was using it to deceive the Holy Maiden. The Sect Leader was at a loss for words. Then, she suddenly made a discovery. She looked at Li Su with a perplexed expression, her gaze filled with suspicion.
After scrutinizing him, the Sect Leader asked, “Have you… recently made progress in your cultivation again?”
“Master, I have reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage,” Li Su said.
The Sect Leader’s expression slowly changed as she stared at Li Su, examining him closely. Then, she suddenly placed her hand on Li Su’s forehead.
Was she worried that Li Su had been possessed by someone else? After a while, the Sect Leader removed her hand. She took a deep breath and said, “This is a positive development. You won’t need much longer to reach the Nascent Soul stage.”
At that moment, a group of guests approached, and Li Su and the Sect Leader had to conclude their conversation. Judging by the situation, the Sect Leader didn’t stay for too long. Li Su’s rapid progress to the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage had surprised her, and she returned to her cultivation. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Li Su surpassed her. The Sect Leader might feel a bit embarrassed if her disciple outperformed her.
On this night, Li Su became quite intoxicated. The leaders of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Seven Stars Valley had brought some excellent spirit wine. Some fortunate mortal attendees even had the chance to taste a small cup of it, a story they would likely boast about for the rest of their lives.
It wasn’t until midnight that Li Su, supported by the Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace, returned to his room drunk. The Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace was somewhat speechless. Li Su was already at the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage, so how could he get drunk if he didn’t want to? If any alcohol entered his system, his inner energy would instantly evaporate. Even if he got drunk, he could forcibly sober up if he wished to. However, Li Su was genuinely intoxicated.
The Holy Maiden of the Celestial Demon Palace was somewhat helpless. Did Li Su do this intentionally, just to take advantage of her? Over the past few years, he had taken advantage of her occasionally, but it couldn’t compare to what happened last night. If it had been a few years ago, she might have activated the Celestial Demon Seal and fought with all her might, choosing death over letting Li Su benefit. But last night, she hesitated, and Li Su had taken advantage of her. What made her even angrier was that she didn’t feel a strong hatred towards Li Su.
“You…” The Holy Maiden was about to say something when her eyes widened.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s still early, and since everything that needed to happen has already happened, we can continue,” Li Su said with a mischievous grin.
The Holy Maiden burst into tears.
