On the other side, Li Su returned to the Flying Immortal Sect. His trip to the secret area hadn’t taken much time this time, just a few days. He first checked on the progress of the formation flag repairs and found that the artificer had already repaired two of them, with three more left to go.
“Elder, it’s progressing well. At most, it’ll take another ten months,” the artificer reported.
After checking on Su Yun, Li Su went to the sect’s library to search for alchemical recipes. After spending quite some time there, he noted numerous recipes. Then, he headed to the alchemy room of the Flying Immortal Sect.
“I need to use the alchemical furnace,” Li Su stated.
“We’re not very busy lately, Elder Li. Feel free to use it as you wish,” the alchemist in charge replied.
So, Li Su began alchemy in the room. This time, he was working on more advanced pills, and his alchemical furnace at home couldn’t meet the requirements.
“Elder Li, are you making Three-Element Pills?” The most skilled alchemist in the Flying Immortal Sect was astonished when he saw the pills Li Su was crafting.
Three-Element Pills were superior to Crown Gathering Pills and were beneficial for Foundation Establishment. Although the sect had the recipe, this alchemist couldn’t produce them due to the high level of expertise required.
Li Su didn’t even have all the necessary herbs, but unexpectedly, he produced a batch of Three-Element Pills. He collected the Three-Element Pills in a pill bottle.
“Elder Li, you’re truly amazing. Can I... can I become your disciple?”
The alchemist asked cautiously, realizing that Li Su’s proficiency in alchemy likely far exceeded his own.
Li Su shook his head and said, “No need to become my disciple, but you can observe from the side.”
When she saw Li Su brought the pills, Qin Xiaoyue was deeply moved. She didn’t doubt the authenticity of these pills.
“Your cultivation has already reached its peak. Adjust your state and make your breakthrough,” Li Su advised. Li Su encouraged her. Qin Xiaoyue had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage but had been struggling to break through to the Golden Core stage. With Li Su’s pills and her adjustments, there was a good chance she could achieve this breakthrough.
“Hmm!” Qin Xiaoyue nodded vigorously.
“Once you reach the Golden Core stage, I’ll marry you!” Li Su added. His words made Qin Xiaoyue pause momentarily, her face red. “Hmm...” However, this time, it seemed she wasn’t dwelling on it anymore. She lowered her head and softly responded with a shy “Mmm...”
...
Li Su left the top of the tower but didn’t go far. Instead, he remained nearby to support Qin Xiaoyue. He also noticed the wordless stone monument right below the tower.
“It seems I’m not the destined one,” Li Su remarked as he glanced at the stone monument, finding no information. He wasn’t concerned about it. Qin Xiaoyue, now his woman, could see the information that mattered.
“It should be soon,” he added, indicating that Qin Xiaoyue’s breakthrough was imminent. Around the tower, the spiritual energy began to shift. Li Su patiently waited. After about a month, within the tower, a faint golden light shot up into the sky. Qin Xiaoyue had succeeded in breaking through to the Golden Core stage!
Li Su couldn’t help but smile. He finally had a wife at the Golden Core stage. While he had taken in concubines, he cared for each of them as his wife. Inside the tower, after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Qin Xiaoyue’s gaze turned towards the outside, and she spotted Li Su. A radiant smile blossomed on her face.
......
“Xiaoyue, are you going to marry Li Su?” The voice of the sect leader echoed within the Flying Immortal Sect a few days later as she emerged from seclusion. Based on Li Su’s perception, she should be close to achieving a perfect Golden Core stage, if she hadn’t already reached it. Typically, cultivators at the perfect Golden Core stage would try the Nascent Soul breakthrough.
“Yes, Sect Leader. I want to marry Senior Brother Li,” Qin Xiaoyue replied with determination. The sect leader’s gaze shifted between Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue. Today, she received both good and surprising news.
The good news was that Qin Xiaoyue had successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage. The surprising news was that Li Su wanted to marry another of her direct disciples, Qin Xiaoyue, and she was willing to marry him. The sect leader didn’t know a special relationship existed between Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue.
