Chapter 226

Li Su was in high spirits. Mo Lin, though small in stature, seemed youthful but brought unique experiences. Li Su couldn’t let Mo Lin bear his children because her true dragon bloodline wasn’t fully restored. The Auger Clan mobilized many powerful individuals, searching everywhere for atavistic dragon bloodlines. However, finding them wasn’t as simple as it might seem.

Time wasn’t the most crucial factor–luck was. If one was fortunate, they might discover one soon. In reality, luck played a vital role. Some opportunities were hard to come by without good fortune. Therefore, the Northern Territory’s Immortal Ascension Conference existed. While some cultivators had mediocre spiritual roots, their good luck allowed them to flourish, making them valuable additions to the sect.

On a particular day, Li Su accompanied Mo Lin to the North Sea. Mo Lin, the divine beauty, was surprisingly reserved in front of Li Su and rarely conversed with him, except when they were alone.

“Mo Lin, take these pills, and this dragon-scale armor is specially crafted for you. It can be activated before your transformation into a dragon and provide excellent defense afterward,” Li Su presented a beautiful silver-white piece of armor. The craftsmanship of this armor was undoubtedly exceptional, a top-grade magical treasure.

For a Nascent Divinity, low-grade and mid-grade magical treasures were more suitable, but going slightly beyond that was acceptable, given the skill required to craft it. What made this magical treasure exceptional was its adaptability. It could be worn in Mo Lin’s dragon-human form and would transform into a scaly armor that draped over her after her transformation into a dragon. Its most remarkable feature was its performance when Mo Lin transformed into a dragon, inspired by a blue dragon beast with armor.

Li Su had to use rare materials from the sea clan’s treasury to craft this custom-made armor due to its high material requirements. It offered excellent defense without energy infusion, although the materials were rare.

Moved by Li Su’s effort, Mo Lin, the divine beauty, stored the armor and transformed into a black dragon, disappearing into the North Sea to complete her true dragon bloodline.

“Master, these are the items you requested. We searched far and wide and finally found these,” Mo Qi brought heavenly materials and earthly treasures, addressing Li Su as “Master” despite Mo Lin’s marriage.

Li Su’s kindness to the Northern Sea clan was indeed highly significant. After gathering these items, Li Su provided some magical treasures he had crafted for the Nascent Divinities and mid to late-stage Core Formation experts in the sea clan. Mo Qi was surprised by the generosity.

“Elder, please deliver these items to them,” Li Su said.

The Headmaster of the Xuantian Academy had also appeared, soon followed by the Peak Master of the Dieyun and the Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect. These immortal sects had attended Li Su’s recent wedding to establish positive connections and leave a favorable impression.

Now, with the wedding concluded and time on their side, they had seized the opportunity to visit and seek to win Li Su over, hoping to recruit him into their respective sects. They had discreetly monitored each other’s actions, ready to follow suit if one sect made a move to avoid being outdone by rivals.

Observing the representatives from other sects arriving, the Tianluo Sect Master wasn’t one to be outdone. He boldly said, “While the Tianluo Sect may not boast as many resources as others, we have a plethora of talented female cultivators. Li Su, your charisma has captivated numerous female disciples from our sect. If you decide to join us, any of our disciples with fourth-grade or higher spiritual roots can become your concubine. Furthermore, as you strengthen, I will pass my position as sect head to you.”

Li Su’s inclination to take concubines presented an attractive proposition for those seeking to cultivate a favorable relationship with him. Various cultivation families in the Northern Territory hoped their daughters would become Li Su’s concubines. However, his standards had become more demanding. If an individual’s talent didn’t meet the mark, exceptional beauty and character were necessary. Li Su occasionally welcomed exceptionally beautiful mortal women into his life.

Hence, the approach taken by the Tianluo Sect Master was tailored to appeal to Li Su’s personal preferences. He understood that without such an approach, the Tianluo Sect wouldn’t stand a chance against the Returning Origin Sect, even with a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator. As a first-grade immortal sect, the Returning Origin Sect possessed resources and influence far surpassing what a second-grade sect could compete with. Without taking a different path, he had no chances whatsoever.

“The leader of Tianluo Sect is truly generous. Although Xuantian Academy may not have many female disciples, our collection is one of the most extensive in the Canglan Realm. Our library even houses ancient texts from the bygone Canglan Realm, though the language used back then differs from the present day, and not many can comprehend it.”

“Not only that, but the number of scrolls and books we have on formations, alchemy, and artifact crafting rivals that of the revered sects.”

“Even if Li Su isn’t inclined to join Xuantian Academy, it’s not a problem. With the Xuantian Token, he can freely access and peruse these scrolls and books in our academy,” the Headmaster of Xuantian Academy added.

He possessed a significant sense of vision and generosity. His intention was likely to establish good relations, even if he couldn’t persuade Li Su to join Xuantian Academy. Exceptional talents like Li Su were usually exclusive to the revered sects, and becoming a Sacred Son in such a sect was not particularly challenging. Yet Li Su’s current potential far exceeded that of a Sacred Son. Li Su had risen to his current status entirely through his efforts, surpassing the Sacred Sons, who quickly ascended in the revered sects with top-tier resources.

While the Headmaster of Xuantian Academy spoke, the Headmaster of Myriad Beasts Sect, along with the captivating-looking woman, also contributed.

“Fellow Taoist, Chu Xi is here primarily to establish a positive relationship with you. To be honest, within our Myriad Beasts Sect, we have a spiritual tortoise that has lived for tens of thousands of years. Just a month ago, this spiritual tortoise spoke and declared that you have the potential to achieve immortality.”
