Li Su sat up on his bed at noon, feeling somewhat puzzled. Despite not having any descendants born or receiving new rewards on this day, his spiritual root had suddenly advanced to the sixth grade. While his spiritual root had already reached the seventh grade earlier, the difference between the seventh and sixth grades was significant and not easy to improve.

A cultivator’s spiritual root was the foundation; the higher it went, the harder it became to advance. Li Su realized this would speed up his journey to the Nascent Soul stage. However, reaching the Nascent Soul stage would still be challenging for most cultivators, even with a sixth-grade spiritual root.

Li Su knew that besides the spiritual root, other factors like cultivation techniques, resources, opportunities, elixirs, innate talent, and renowned teachers played crucial roles. The three major immortal sects didn’t possess good cultivation techniques, and resources were limited.

Some powerful immortal sects located in areas with denser spiritual energy and prosperity could provide better treatment to their disciples, even if their spiritual roots were slightly inferior. But a passable spiritual root was still necessary to be valued anywhere.

Li Su was puzzled about why his spiritual root had suddenly improved by one grade and noticed that his soul had become purer after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. His body also underwent purification, and his comprehension abilities improved subtly.

He wondered if the special energy he felt when encountering the Saintess of the Silent Moon was responsible for these changes. As he looked at her sleeping form, he couldn’t help but recall the events of the previous night when she had become his woman.

Li Su carefully covered her with a blanket and focused on modifying the Green Cloud Mirror to protect his soul, intending to enhance its abilities for his safety.

Faced with all these challenges, the potential offered by the Saintess of the Silent Moon’s unique qualities could be irresistible to many cultivators. It could lead them to resort to any means necessary to obtain her. The changes after acquiring the Saintess of the Silent Moon were undoubtedly remarkable.

Her unique qualities could bridge the gap between mortals and cultivators, potentially offering even an ordinary person the chance to become a cultivator. Such a rare and precious discovery as the Saintess of the Silent Moon was unquestionably invaluable.

From this point, it was not challenging to speculate what happened next. Some cultivators must have sensed the special nature of the Saintess of the Silent Moon’s physique and sought to possess her. Perhaps, under duress, the Saintess of the Silent Moon had no choice but to seek refuge in the Demon Sect.

“In my early years, I joined a sect of female cultivators. The sect’s leader was only in the Initial Foundation stage, but she noticed my unique constitution and was willing to protect me,” the Saintess of the Silent Moon appeared willing to speak now.

“My time there was the happiest period of my life. But good times didn’t last. During an outing for experience, a Mid-Foundation stage cultivator detected the peculiarity of my physique and came to the sect with a forced proposal of marriage.”

“The sect leader declined.”

“He turned hostile, and to prevent any information leaks, he killed everyone in the sect. The sect leader sacrificed herself to ensure my escape, and he pursued me for thousands of miles.”

“I sought refuge in another sect for help, but their leader only wanted to possess me. Fortunately, the Mid-Foundation cultivator arrived, and I escaped during their battle. However, this battle revealed my unique nature to even more cultivators.”

“I don’t know how many cultivators are searching for me. I was driven to the brink of despair.”
