Chapter 20: I Come
"Master, what are the responsibilities of a core disciple?" Li Su didn't immediately respond, but asked instead.
The master replied, "As a core disciple, your main focus should be on cultivation. When there are no assigned tasks, you are expected to return to the sect for dedicated practice. I will provide you with the best cave dwelling, and you have the freedom to choose your preferred techniques. Your treatment will be superior to that of regular core disciples."
Indeed.
It appeared that the master, recognizing Li Su's rapid progress, admired his talent and wanted to assist him.
Based on their meeting over twenty years ago, taking into account the unfinished advice from the master, she probably believed that Li Su's involvement with numerous concubines in the secular world and his deep worldly attachments would impede his cultivation.
Therefore, when the master proposed to take him as a direct disciple and grant him the privileges of a core disciple in the Feixian Sect, she likely aimed to help Li Su sever his worldly attachments and concentrate on cultivation.
This holds true for other cultivators as well.
For a genius cultivator like Li Su who engages in such activities... there wouldn't be much achievement.
However...
No one could have anticipated that Li Su's cultivation would soar precisely because of these behaviors that other cultivators considered as "neglecting one's duties."
The master's intentions were indeed well-intentioned.
But Li Su didn't require them.
He could attain the same progress by cultivating independently for several years or decades in a cave dwelling, provided his aptitude was exceptional.
The problem is...nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
His personal cultivation would be in vain!
The effect of cultivating for over a thousand years wouldn't be as substantial as someone else's cultivation for several decades.
Now that he possesses a cheat code, even if he is satisfied and content, he won't bother to cultivate on his own.
"Thank you, master, for your kindness. However, I am accustomed to freedom. Becoming a core disciple may not be suitable for me, and it will also spare you from any difficulties."
Li Su bowed and said.
The master's gaze fell upon Li Su's face.
She didn't expect that Li Su would actually decline!
Li Su was eager to see what was happening.
Before long, he arrived at Xianjue Peak.
"Senior Li~"
As he traveled, wandering cultivators would occasionally emerge from below and greet Li Su.
Some higher-level cultivators even flew up to join him on the journey, positioning themselves slightly behind him.
"Senior Li, you still look as heroic as ever after ten years."
"Yes, when I first saw Senior Li thirty years ago, I was astonished. I never expected that thirty years later, Senior Li not only hasn't aged a bit but looks even younger~"
"..."
Some wandering cultivators showered Li Su with compliments.
With their company, they quickly approached Xianjue Peak.
Due to the delay caused by the sect master's summons, Li Su had lost some time. When he arrived at Xianjue Peak, many wandering cultivators were already present.
This time, there were noticeably more female cultivators on Xianjue Peak.
"It's Senior Li~"
Some female cultivators had their eyes light up upon seeing Li Su.
"Senior Li is here? Oh no, he's here to sweep up the fairy maidens again!"
A wandering cultivator couldn't help but think.
This wandering cultivator, already advanced in age and having lost hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, longed to find a female cultivator to build a family with.
However, in the past thirty years, Li Su's presence had completely eliminated his chances.
No, it wasn't that he had no opportunity, but the beautiful female cultivators he had set his eyes on had all followed Li Su.
There seemed to be more female cultivators this year, and he had thought he had a chance, but as soon as Li Su arrived, this wandering cultivator knew...
This year, many female cultivators were probably here for Li Su.
