Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 119

Li Su examined the option of body-refining cultivation with interest. Although it wasnt prevalent in the Northern Region, it held value. This added 2000 years of cultivation, albeit with a lifespan extension of only 1000 years, unlike spiritual cultivations 2000-year extension.

Li Su took his time, absorbing the 2000 years of cultivation. After two days, he felt himself ascend two levels, reaching the early stage of the third level of Nascent Soul.

Reaching only the early third level of Nascent Soul with 2000 years of cultivation? Li Su pondered. He soon realized it was due to his sixth-grade spiritual root and relatively low Nascent Soul stage.

With a sixth-grade spiritual root, advancing to Nascent Soul was already challenging. Typically, a Nascent Soul cultivator would have around 2,000 years of lifespan left. This limited time meant a cultivator with a sixth-grade spiritual root would only reach the second or third level of Nascent Soul before running out of lifespan.

Li Su knew that a first-grade spiritual root would have allowed him to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage easily, but his circumstances had required him to spend over a thousand years to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Li Su hadnt distributed the 2000 years of experience yet and was surprised to find that one of his Li family descendants had reached a cultivation level of 200,000, adding another 2000 years of experience to his account.

This is truly satisfying! Li Su couldnt contain his excitement. He absorbed the cultivation and spent two more days doing so. When he checked his Nascent Soul again, he had progressed to the middle stages of the fourth level of Nascent Soul.

The fourth level of Nascent Soul, Li Su mused, in the late stages of the fourth level and on the cusp of the fifth.

I just need to improve my spiritual roots, Li Su thought. The chances of his previous female companions giving birth to spiritual root descendants were low. He contemplated taking additional wives while caring for his existing companions, providing them with lifespan-extending pills and cultivation enhancements.

Reaching the fourth level of Nascent Soul with 4,000 years of cultivation was reasonable for a cultivator of his sixth-grade spiritual root. For those with weaker spiritual roots, even with thousands of years of lifespan, reaching the fourth level of Nascent Soul might remain challenging.

Li Su recognized that the quality of spiritual roots significantly influenced ones progress beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

Mid-stage of Nascent Soul, Li Su noted, acknowledging his achievement as a cultivator. With the continuous flow of substantial rewards, he was no longer concerned about his spiritual roots.

I still need to enhance my spiritual foundation. Li Su pondered after absorbing 4,000 years of cultivation. For other cultivators, achieving the Nascent Soul stage with a sixth-grade spiritual foundation would be daunting. Even if a sixth-grade spiritual foundation could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, achieving the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul in 4,000 years of cultivation is commendable. Moreover, Li Sus Nascent Soul was even more potent.

So, with 4,000 years of cultivation, he had only reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul. The crucial factor was his spiritual foundation. If he possessed a fifth-grade spiritual foundation, Li Su might already have reached the fifth or sixth layer of the Nascent Soul. His 4,000 years of cultivation might have surpassed the Nascent Soul stage with a first-grade spiritual foundation.

This underscores the significance of ones spiritual foundation. Otherwise, why would spiritual foundations hold such importance? Unfortunately, Li Su began with a low starting point.

Thankfully, Li Sus Golden Finger proved incredibly valuable. Upon reaching the 2 stage, he would receive even greater rewards, like the one for reaching a rounded number, which had now become 300 years of cultivation. So, Li Sus primary focus remained on two aspects.

Firstly, he aimed to increase the number of descendants with exceptional spiritual foundations to improve his own and ultimately benefit his cultivation. Although the current benefits were still limited, Li Su had over a hundred descendants and one of them, the child born to him by Qin Xiaoyue with a fourth-grade spiritual foundation, had already reached the middle stage of Foundation Building.

However, many other descendants were still in the Qi Refining stage. The most potent descendants were mostly born later and hadnt had time to grow. Nevertheless, with more descendants born later, more with outstanding spiritual foundations would naturally make a difference.

The second aspect was increasing Li family descendants, which would lead to continued rewards. After deciding on this course of action, Li Su allocated 2,000 years of experience.

He initially allocated 100 years of secret technique experience to refine the Dust Demon Pill. Yes, Li Su devised a method to forcibly extract the Dust Demon Pill formula using secret technique experience. Once allocated, he felt a noticeable difference. In essence, these 100 years of secret technique experience were equivalent to Li Su gaining over a thousand years of alchemy experience as a master alchemist and then dedicating 100 years to research the production of the Dust Demon Pill.

It should suffice. Considering his extensive alchemical foundation, these 100 years of experience indeed appeared adequate. Nevertheless, Li Su wasnt complacent and added 400 years of alchemy experience. He returned to the alchemy room and commenced the refining process once more. After squandering three sets of materials this time, Li Su finally crafted the Dust Demon Pill.

Silent Moon, take a look. Does it resemble this? Li Su handed the Dust Demon Pill to Silent Moon. She accepted it, sniffed it, and her face showed unmistakable excitement. She could finally break the Demons Seal.

Husband, thank you! Silent Moon now addressed Li Su as her husband. She hadnt noticed the change in Li Sus cultivation. Fearing to alarm her, Li Su planned to stabilize his cultivation for a few months before exploring the Immortal Sect Ruins. He could explain it as encountering some kind of adventure inside. Achieving the middle stage of Nascent Soul in just over a year was too astonishing and could arouse suspicion. Naturally, he couldnt disclose the existence of the golden finger to anyone. He needed to find a plausible explanation or let others formulate their theories.

Silent Moon, we still have four sets of materials left. Would you like to refine those too? Li Su inquired.

Turning to Silent Moon, he asked again, Silent Moon, do you want to refine all of them?

After considering for a moment, Silent Moon replied, Lets refine all of them. I know a few people in the Demonic Palace who also want to break the Demons Seal so I can sell them to them.

Very well. Li Su wasted no time and refined the remaining four sets of materials, handing them over to Silent Moon.

Husband, with these Dust Demon Pills, it will take me a few months to a year to break the Demons Seal. Its a delicate process affecting my entire body, and I must be cautious, Silent Moon explained.

Understood. Li Su gently touched her head, causing her cheeks to redden.
