Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 154

On this day, Li Su received a message from Mystic Moon. The message stone had traveled a great distance to deliver her message to Li Su. For now, Mystic Moon wouldn’t be returning. Over a dozen years ago, during a demonic ceremony at the Demon Palace, she had again managed to absorb a substantial amount of demonic power, which she was still assimilating. Perhaps fearing that Li Su would be concerned, she only took the risk of sending a message to him over a decade after that demonic ceremony.

Looking at it this way, Mystic Moon will likely reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage faster than Sect Master Li Su thought.

Although Sect Master Shangguan Xue had a spiritual root, she still needed to cultivate it independently. Over the years, Li Su had crafted numerous elixirs for Sect Master. The last time Master emerged from seclusion, her foundation had already been restored. Given her current cultivation speed, it was exceptionally fast.

Li Su didn’t know how rapidly other cultivators with different spiritual roots progressed.

For instance, someone with a fourth-grade spiritual root like Liu Xinyue, with top-tier resources in the Northern Region, took over a hundred years to establish her Golden Core, six hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining eight hundred years were spent advancing to the fourth level of Nascent Soul. In other words, Liu Xinyue was now over 1,500 years old.

Liu Xinshui also possessed a fourth-grade spiritual root, but her fourth-grade spiritual root was even more suited for cultivating water-based techniques. So, even though Liu Xinshui was the same age as Liu Xinyue, she had already reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation. Of course, without the Sunflower Water Pearl, Liu Xinshui would still need several more years to reach the seventh level of Nascent Soul. This was the nature of fourth-grade spiritual roots.

If someone had a third-grade spiritual root, with the assurance of top-notch resources in the Northern Region, they could reach the Golden Core stage in a few decades and attain the Nascent Soul stage in four to five hundred years. If it were a second-grade spiritual root, it would be even faster. With the same top-notch resources in the Northern Region, they might reach Nascent Soul within three hundred years or even less. As for a first-grade spiritual root, it would undoubtedly be even faster.

Li Su estimated that the Master, Shangguan Xue, should be nearly 400 years old. Her situation was unique as her foundation had been damaged in the past. Now that her foundation was repaired, her cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage would progress swiftly. Most crucial was that she had broken through the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks.

However, Mystic Moon’s journey to the peak of Nascent Soul would undoubtedly be faster than Master’s. The only challenge was that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was a formidable hurdle. One small misstep could result in destruction.

So, if Mystic Moon can consistently absorb power from the Demon Realm and make it her own, her progress within each realm will be incredibly rapid, Li Su thought. For Mystic Moon, the main challenge would be facing the tribulations that come with each new cultivation level. Within each realm, her strength would skyrocket rapidly, provided she could fully incorporate the power she acquired from the Demon Realm without leaving any hidden dangers.

These hidden dangers were unrelated to the Demon Realm trying to sabotage her. With the Demon Seal in place, there was a one-hundred-percent assurance that the Demon Realm wouldn’t interfere. After all, even the Demon Realm would prefer that these demon cultivators successfully overcome their tribulations. If they were to sabotage them, how would they overcome their tribulations?

So, these hidden dangers referred to stabilizing the foundation within each realm while not allowing any room for inner demons to take hold. After learning about Mystic Moon’s situation, Li Su felt relieved. He was now 250 years old. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Nam Ming, distribute these accordingly,” he said. Li Su handed a large stack of talismans to his most trusted son. This son was his firstborn, an ordinary human with no spiritual roots, and he had already aged with white hair. However, Li Su had consistently extended his lifespan because this son was exceptionally capable. Within the family, he could command respect and manage matters efficiently, which saved Li Su a lot of trouble.

Under the influence of Li Su’s elixirs, this ordinary man had managed to live for over two hundred years. In addition to his son, Li Su had also extended the lifespan of his son’s wife and his eldest daughter-in-law. This was because Nam Ming, his son, had been exceptionally devoted, only marrying one woman throughout his life. Although he was stubborn on this matter, Li Su allowed him his wishes.

Due to the nature of his “Golden Finger,” Li Su found it challenging to remain monogamous, but his first son was willing to be faithful, so he let him be. Li Su had also extended the lifespan of Nam Ming’s two children. Otherwise, if left alone, he would likely be overwhelmed with despair. After all, they were just ordinary humans with human emotions. Li Su couldn’t be sure how long he could extend their lives.
