Chapter 133
After searching for a while, Li Su finally discovered a well-concealed restriction in the area. It was extremely challenging to locate, hidden in a remote spot where even the Head of the Falling Cloud Sect wouldnt likely notice.
However, once Li Su found it, he successfully broke the restriction and entered the concealed space. The interior was not very large, seemingly within the mountains depths, and contained a crystal coffin.
Inside the crystal coffin was a woman dressed elegantly, with attire on her lower body resembling a fishtail skirt. Li Su realized it was not a fishtail skirt her lower body was a fishtail.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Li Su concluded that she was likely a mermaid, specifically a mermaid princess. Although he hadnt interacted with the sea clan, he had recently heard about them from the Nascent Soul cultivators of the North Domain.
The sea clan was less powerful than in the past and rarely ventured onto land. This woman appeared to be a genuine sea clan member, not a sea beast, and she wore a delicate crown on her head, giving her the look of a dignified princess.
Looking at the mermaid in the crystal coffin, Li Su wondered if she might still be alive. It was also possible that she had already passed away, and her subordinates simply wanted her body returned to the sea.
Li Su examined some sets of skeletal remains lying nearby, which he turned into ashes. In front of each set of bones, there was a box.
Li Su approached the boxes, recognizing them as having restrictions that would self-destruct if forcibly opened. He found a jade slip on the ground explaining the origin of these boxes.
The skeletal remains were those of loyal mermaids who had served the mermaid in the crystal coffin. The message in the jade slip stated that if anyone intruded and were willing to transport the crystal coffin to the sea, they would receive mermaid pearls as a reward. Consuming these pearls would significantly extend ones lifespan and increase their cultivation.
This incident elevated Li Sus status among the North Domains Nascent Soul cultivators. His exceptional knowledge of formations surpassed even that of the Falling Cloud Sects leader, and as skilled formation masters were rare, many Nascent Soul cultivators approached him. Some even requested his help to improve their protective sect formations.
While Li Su was open to assisting, he clarified that he would set his schedule for such tasks and help when he had free time.
After the necessary preparations were made, the main expeditionary force began its journey back, leaving Golden Core cultivators behind to oversee the area and dispatch disciples to plant herbs, with each sect assigned to specific mountain peaks. The plan was to open the area every hundred years to maintain the spiritual energy concentration.
The departure of the eight major sects and the North Domain cultivators was met with a farewell. Some cultivators approached Li Su with parting gifts, and a few bold female cultivators offered him small gifts and heartfelt letters, showcasing their admiration for him. During the expedition, Li Su had captured the hearts of many female cultivators, and his reputation for considering taking concubines had further piqued their interest.
As they prepared to depart, several female cultivators boldly flew up to Li Su, offering him gifts, including heartfelt letters, showing their admiration. By the time they returned, Li Su had amassed many gifts and letters.
Clearly, some believed Li Su might take more concubines, which motivated others to excel in their cultivation and strive for his attention.
Back on the flying boat, Li Su and his disciple discussed their plans. Li Su insisted his disciple keep the spiritual stones, as half of them were initially intended for him, but he was hesitant, suggesting Li Su should keep them.
The harvest from this expedition had been substantial, and Li Su spent considerable time inventorying the items and refining some of the herbs despite their low-grade status. Their long growth period made them highly effective.
The news of Li Sus performance in the immortal sect ruins once again spread throughout the entire North Domain.
