WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 45 - The Sect Leader is shown off

Chapter 45: The Sect Leader is shown off

Another year had passed at the Li residence. Finally, Su Yun gave birth to Li Su’s third child. It was remarkable that this third child still possessed spiritual roots, although they were relatively weak and hadn’t reached a higher grade.

This implied that the offspring born from the union with a female cultivator with higher spiritual roots had a higher probability of inheriting spiritual roots. It also suggested that the quality of spiritual roots could improve with each generation.

After giving birth to her third child, Su Yun took a two-month rest, and Li Su sent her back to the Flying Immortal Sect. As for the three children, they remained in the Li family for upbringing.

There was no need to worry since the Li family had a plethora of maids and caretakers. These attendants were treated well and dedicated their utmost care to the children.

“Master.”

Li Su and Su Yun met the sect leader. Su Yun was somewhat apprehensive, afraid of being scolded by the sect leader. However, the sect leader did not express any blame.

“Li Su, your spiritual weapon has been crafted. Currently, our sect’s craftsmen can only create low-grade spiritual weapons. They are sufficient for use in the early stages of the Golden Core realm and can be used reluctantly in the middle stage. If you can reach the later stages of the Golden Core realm, I will find a solution for you.” The sect leader spoke.

A spiritual weapon!

Using magical tools would be sufficient for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage. However, once they reached the Golden Core stage, even top-grade magical tools would become inadequate.

After Li Su broke through to the Golden Core stage, the sect leader prepared a spiritual weapon for him. Creating a spiritual weapon required precious materials. Although the sect’s warehouse contained some materials, they were not used casually.

With limited materials, waiting until a disciple broke through to the Golden Core stage was necessary, and then creating a weapon tailored to their specific needs was necessary.

Furthermore, the Flying Immortal Sect refiners could only craft low-grade spiritual weapons. Medium-grade and high-grade spiritual weapons were beyond their capabilities.

Low-grade spiritual roots were sufficient for the early stages of the Golden Core realm and could be barely used in the middle stages.

Li Su had already met the craftsman who crafted these low-grade spiritual weapons. His strength had reached the later stages of the Foundation Establishment stage, but advancing to the Golden Core stage was proving difficult. His strength had been bolstered by the considerable resources provided by the Flying Immortal Sect. However, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and with his expertise in weapon refining, he could only create weapons with low-grade spiritual roots.

He was already over one hundred and eighty years old, and the Flying Immortal Sect had likely provided him with various longevity pills, which could allow him to continue refining weapons for the sect for several more decades.

It took four years to forge this particular low-grade spiritual weapon. When the sect leader handed it to Li Su, he saw that it was a set of Flying Immortal Swords.

There was no other choice. This was the only type of low-grade spiritual weapon the craftsman could create.

The Flying Immortal Sword was exceptional. Once it reached the level of a low-grade spiritual weapon, the set contained twenty-four small swords resembling throwing knives. However, their power far surpassed that of regular throwing knives.

“Thank you, sect leader.” Li Su expressed his gratitude.

“No need to be polite. Have you encountered any difficulties in cultivating at the Golden Core stage in recent years?” the sect leader asked.

Difficulties?

What difficulties could there be? Li Su had already reached the second level of the Golden Core stage.

“Sect leader, what difficulties?” Li Su inquired.

The sect leader replied, “There is something I have been contemplating whether to tell you or not. After careful consideration, I think I should inform you.”

Li Su adopted an attentive expression, ready to listen.

“Li Su, your ability to condense a first-grade golden pill exceeded my expectations and surprised me. However, do you know that this matter may not necessarily be good for you?”

The sect leader gazed at Li Su as he spoke.

“Not a good thing?” Li Su immediately understood what the sect leader meant.

Indeed, possessing a first-grade golden pill was impressive. But progressing further became much more challenging for a cultivator in the Golden Core stage with a first-grade golden pill. It required greater accumulation. This was normal.

A first-grade Golden Core was larger than Golden Cores of other grades at the same level. As one progressed to each level in the Golden Core realm, the gap between different grades of Golden Cores became increasingly significant.

The additional power could not appear out of thin air, as energy was conserved. However, this was not a problem for others.

Cultivators who could condense a first-grade Golden Core likely possessed a third-grade spiritual root or higher.

A third-grade spiritual root would require powerful exercises and elixirs. With a third-grade spiritual root, no matter which sect you belong to, you could acquire any resources. These were treasures within the sects.

Others possessed powerful spiritual roots, enabling them to cultivate faster without worrying. However, Li Su faced significant challenges from the sect leader’s perspective.

Although Li Su had broken through to the Golden Core, he was already over 160 years old. The time it took for him to achieve the Golden Core stage was considered slow. Li Su’s spiritual root was very weak.

While the sect leader didn’t know the specific opportunities Li Su had encountered, it was clear that even with good fortune, his foundation was lacking. It would already be considered good if he could advance from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, his progress would inevitably slow down. Therefore, having a first-grade Golden Core became an obstacle for Li Su. Each level he ascended would be more difficult than other Golden Core stage cultivators.

However, from Li Su’s perspective, this was not a bad thing but rather a great opportunity. He was not afraid of being slow. His fear lied in not being strong enough. Li Su was not slow at all.

After understanding the sect leader’s intentions, Li Su decided that the sect leader didn’t need to worry.

“Why are you constantly concerned about others? Don’t you prioritize your own cultivation, Sect Leader?”

“It’s better to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!”

Once she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, having more children with me will have an even greater effect, Li Su thought.

“Sect Leader, I understand your concerns.”

Li Su immediately expressed his understanding.

“However, Sect Leader, there’s no need to worry. I have my own insights into cultivation. Look, I have already reached the second level of the Golden Core.”

Then, Li Su released his aura.

Gradually, the sect leader’s expression changed.
