Chapter 13: The Sect Leader’s Surprise

“Elder Xue, I have just reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment,” Li Su said in front of the foreign affairs hall.

Having lived for over a century, Li Su naturally wouldn’t be as restless as those youngsters.

Reaching the advanced stage of Foundation Establishment was certainly a commendable accomplishment, but in Li Su’s perspective, it was not worthy of excessive astonishment.

“Good!” The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall finally accepted this fact and looked at Li Su with some surprise.

“I didn’t expect you to enter the realm so fast. You only need to pass the true energy test, and we can increase your annual supply of spiritual stones.” The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall took out a special crystal ball and said.

Li Su drove the true essence and injected spiritual power into the crystal ball. The true essence was fundamental, while spiritual power was equivalent to mana. The crystal ball lit up and looked quite gorgeous. (ED note: In Chinese, “mana” is commonly translated as “法力” (fǎlì) or “灵力” (línglì). It refers to a form of supernatural energy or spiritual power that can be utilized for magical or spiritual purposes.)

“Indeed, you have reached the seventh floor of the foundation building. Your annual supply of spiritual stones has been adjusted to 400 yuan, but you haven’t received them for eight years...I’ll go ask the master for instructions.” The elder of the foreign affairs hall pondered for a moment and said.

All the other disciples received spiritual stones annually, but Li Su was never active in receiving the spiritual stones. This time, he didn’t come to claim it for eight years.

The elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall faced a dilemma, uncertain from which year the 400 spirit stones should be counted for Li Su.

According to the rules, it would be reasonable to start this year. But Li Su’s status was special. So, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall decided to ask the head of the Sect before making a decision.

Soon, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall came to the place where the Sect master was in seclusion.Reead new chapters at novelhall.com

Li Su accepted it gratefully, saying, “Thank you, elder.”

“By the way, do you need anything else?” inquired the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Li Su replied, “Elder, I really need something.”

He presented a list. The list comprised materials for refining. With 100 years of refining experience under his belt, Li Su intended to give it a try.

The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall glanced at the list and remarked, “These are all refining materials. Are you planning to learn refining?”

Li Su nodded and said, “Yes, Elder, I am eager to try it.”

“Immortal cultivators should prioritize cultivation. Refining artifacts is not an easy task to master. However, since the Sect leader has instructed me to guide you, if you wish to try it, I will acquire these items for you,” the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall advised persuasively.

Before long, the items were handed over to Li Su by the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Nothing on Li Su’s list was too costly. Items that were excessively expensive were not easy to obtain. Those items could be exchanged using contribution points earned by making significant contributions to the Sect.

Throughout the years since Li Su joined the Flying Immortal Sect, he had been quietly developing his Li residence, making minimal contributions to the Flying Immortal Sect. So, how did he acquire his contribution points?

This time, he had planned to exchange the spiritual stones, but he never anticipated that the Sect leader would directly instruct the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall to provide them to him.

“Thank you, Elder,” Li Su expressed his gratitude to the elder in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall before departing from the Flying Immortal Sect with his gains from the visit.
