Chapter 344
“Li Su, this is a warm gesture from our Three Holy Sects.”
Within the Li Family, a formidable expert in unity presented a generous welcome gift to Li Su. This expert also came from a sacred place, the Three Holy Sects.
This sacred place was quite distant from the Canglan Realm. According to Lu Qiu’s explanation, the Three Saints Sect’s strength was not considered formidable among the top ten sacred places. Lu Qiu had a fair understanding of the overall situation in the cultivation world.
Xuantian Academy, while not extremely powerful among the top ten sacred places, was considerably stronger than the Three Saints Sect, ranking in the upper-middle tier. According to Lu Qiu, Xuantian Academy’s ranking might not be high, but it didn’t imply any lack of strength. Cultivators from Xuantian Academy focused on cultivating their hearts, resulting in less influence from inner demons. The overall atmosphere was also more harmonious.
The welcome gift presented by the Three Holy Sects was extremely generous, consisting of a thousand pieces of high-grade spirit stones. And this was just a welcome gift.
Apart from the Three Holy Sects, two other sacred places were sending representatives this time. One was called the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land, a place with numerous alchemists, formation masters, and artifact refiners. This sacred place was considered a desirable ally for all other sacred places. However, according to Lu Qiu, the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land was currently facing a shortage of talent.
The lifespan of cultivators was not infinite. In the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land, if there weren’t enough outstanding successors cultivated after the passing of the older generation, it could lead to the interruption of certain legacies. This sacred place had piqued Li Su’s interest. He planned to visit the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land when he had the time and could confidently leave his home.
He intended to explore if there were any rare alchemical formulas and powerful formations within the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land. Additionally, there was another sacred place called the Divine Sword Sect, which focused on sword cultivation. All three sacred places sending representatives this time had formidable experts in unity contacting Li Su. These three experts were mostly in the early stages of unity.
In this scenario, the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land’s purpose differed from the other two sacred places. The representatives from the Nine Cauldrons Holy Land were inviting Li Su to visit their sacred place, intending to exchange experiences in alchemy, artifact refining, and formations. After all, with Li Su’s growing reputation and formidable skills in these areas, they saw an opportunity for mutual benefit and knowledge sharing.
This time, Li Su even resolved the issue with the Yuan Magnetic Barrier, showcasing an increasingly remarkable proficiency in the field of formations. Both the Three Holy Sects and the Divine Sword Sect naturally want to win Li Su over. However, during their initial contact, even though they sent experts in unity, the discussions did not delve into too many deep and profound matters.
Their main focus was on introducing their respective sacred places and expressing a goodwill gesture. They came to understand Li Su better to verify if he lived up to the rumors surrounding him. Based on their observations, they planned to make further decisions. Li Su handled the situation with ease, avoiding offending anyone.
At the same time, Li Su didn’t take the gifts from these three sacred places without reciprocating. He had decided on appropriate gifts for each of them. This approach differed from how he dealt with Xuantian Academy. Given the sincerity of Xuantian Academy, especially with the marriage of Saintess Zixue to him, Li Su wasn’t as courteous. Sometimes, excessive courtesy could be a symbol of distance.
These sacred places attempted to win him over, and Li Su saw no need to take advantage of them excessively. The resources he currently possessed were sufficient to support his women for a long time. After the initial contact, the representatives from the three sacred places had a favorable impression of Li Su.
After obtaining Li Su’s consent, representatives from all three sacred places, almost coincidentally, established a base in Su City. This served as a communication hub. Combined with the previous presence of the True Martial Holy Land and the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, Su City now hosted several base points for different sacred places.
This matter didn’t significantly impact Li Su’s pace. He continued to establish his pocket dimension. Li Su aimed to transform Wolong Mountain into the prosperous foundation of the Li family. This way, in case Li Su ascended in the future, his descendants could continue to develop and prosper with this place as their foundation.
Regarding the fragments of immortal artifacts, Li Su has made significant progress in his research. Occasionally, he added one or two more consorts. The number of female cultivators from other realms arriving at the Northern Border was on the rise. Periodically, exceptionally talented and stunning female cultivators make an appearance. One day, a cultivator named Murong Xue caught Li Su’s eye.
This cultivator was truly outstanding. Upon her arrival, she outshined many female cultivators in Su City. Many cultivators hailed her as the most beautiful woman in the Northern Border in nearly a century. Additionally, Murong Xue had composed a graceful poem expressing her admiration for Li Su.
She had also crafted a beautifully melodic tune for this poem, impressing even the Immortal Musician. What was more, Murong Xue, a young Nascent Soul cultivator, displayed her Nascent Soul cultivation publicly, compelling an admirer to withdraw.
Such an exceptional Nascent Soul cultivator openly confessing her feelings to Li Su had captured his attention. “Sir, I come from the Taixu Realm, a realm with two influential sacred forces. I traveled to the Canglan Realm and, by chance, encountered you. I’ve developed admiration and am willing to stay by your side,” Murong Xue declares.
When Li Su saw Murong Xue, this gracious and kind-hearted woman greeted him. Li Su had a positive impression of Murong Xue. Regarding her being a demonic cultivator, Li Su investigated and found no anomalies. Murong Xue took action in Su City before, and if she were a demonic cultivator, she would have been noticed, especially with Lord Feng Tian present.
Of course, in recent years, Li Su had become more cautious about taking in consorts, especially with the Demonic Saint Sect plotting against him. He exercised extra care with outstanding female cultivators. Recently, the consorts he had taken were mainly from nearby realms, such as the Xuantian Realm, where Xuantian Academy was located, and they were often women with some established reputation.
