Chapter 2: The Patriarch Takes Another Concubine!

For every descendant with spiritual roots, Li Su’s own spiritual roots would be slightly strengthened. The stronger the spiritual roots of his descendants, the greater the enhancement for Li Su. Furthermore, the cultivation of these descendants could also benefit Li Su.

However, spiritual roots were extremely rare and mysterious. Even immortals could not significantly enhance their spiritual roots or understand the rules governing their birth. Currently, Li Su only had one descendant with spiritual roots, and it was no easy task to have a descendant with such rare qualities by mating with an ordinary woman.

However, now that Li Su had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even at a hundred years old, the probability of giving birth to a descendant with spiritual roots was higher when mating with an ordinary woman. Additionally, Li Su’s strength and status were favorable since he had successfully established his foundation. He might be able to marry a Qi Refining Cultivator stage “immortal.” If that wasn’t possible, Li Su could continue to take ordinary concubines, and the difficulty would be lower. By taking more concubines, he could accelerate the pace of childbirth and increase the chances of having descendants with spiritual roots.

As the Li family continued to expand, Li Su’s family experienced a constant increase in size. While the subsequent generations had diminished the increase in lifespan and cultivation strength to him, this decrease could not be reduced to zero. Consequently, Li Su remained confident in him to reach the Golden Core stage at a faster pace.

Meanwhile, the congratulations from his descendants continued to pour in. With Li Su’s advancing cultivation level, the influence of the Li family in the secular world continued to grow. The descendants of the Li family were well aware that their current status and wealth were owed to Li Su. If Li Su showed particular favor towards a descendant, this one’s status would greatly improve. Consequently, they all cleverly sent generous gifts to please Li Su.

After the descendants had finished congratulating and presenting their gifts, it was time for the guests to do the same.

Suddenly, a voice called out, “The National Teacher of Wu presents a red jade bracelet.”

The guests erupted in excitement. The National Teacher was also an “immortal” who held considerable authority in the secular world.

Although it was merely the addition of concubines, the standards of the Li family exceeded those of many wealthy families when it came to marrying wives. At the very least, a grand sedan was the basic requirement. Moreover, a grand wedding procession with drums and gongs was also expected, creating a spectacle for all to witness.

“It’s the Li family. It appears that the Li family’s patriarch is taking on concubines once again.”

“I envy the Li family’s patriarch. Despite being 100 years old, he can still marry so many beautiful young girls. I heard that even the Pearl of Lingshui City is marrying him this time.”

“So what if he’s 100 years old? He’s immortal. Being able to marry an immortal is a blessing that can’t be earned in eight lifetimes.”

“...”

As the Li family’s wedding procession made its way, it attracted a great deal of attention, and people couldn’t help but discuss it.

On that night, Li Su lifted the red veil and beheld the face of the young girl, whose beauty rivaled that of a flower. Other than “immortals,” no one remained forever 18 years old, but there would always be 18-year-old girls.

With a flick of Li Su’s finger, the candles were extinguished.

It was going to be another romantic night!
