Chapter 109

Although Li Su possessed a substantial number of spiritual stones thanks to the spirit weapons he had obtained, the sheer quantity of items required for his mission was substantial. Additionally, who could complain about having too many spiritual stones? Preparedness was wise.

This time, Li Su focused on refining pills tailored for Foundation Building and Golden Core stage cultivators since he couldn’t find the herbs needed for Nascent Soul stage pills. Some herbs, like the Foundation Nurturing Pill ingredients, were available in Linxian City, while he could find suitable substitutes for others.

Li Su’s extensive alchemical experience spanning over a thousand years gave him a deep understanding of various herbs and their properties, fundamental in alchemy. Knowing the herbs was the first step in alchemy.

“Xiao Xue, are you truly not considering returning?” Third Aunt asked.

“No, Third Aunt, please refrain from informing my family about my presence here. I prefer to remain incognito,” Xiao Xue responded.

Meanwhile, the Sect Leader and her aunt continued their conversation in the adjacent room.

When the aunt heard the Sect Leader’s words, she sighed. “Ah, what transpired back then deeply wounded you, but that mother and son have already faced severe consequences. The Ancestors imprisoned them for a hundred years.”

“They were truly vile. After your departure, that woman somehow acquired a second-grade spirit root child and employed a cruel secret technique to transfer the spirit root to her worthless son.”

“Fortunately, when she attempted to tamper with your spirit root, I discovered it in time. While it harmed your foundation, it wasn’t too severe. Let’s not dwell on those scoundrels any longer...”

The aunt halted mid-sentence as she noticed that the Sect Leader wasn’t interested in hearing more. She then retrieved an item from a storage pouch. The item was milky white and radiated an incredibly rich life essence.

“This is a Ten Thousand-Year Spirit Core. I’ve been searching for you all this time because I want to give it to you. It should help compensate for the deficiency in your foundation.”

The aunt continued, but the Sect Leader remained silent.

“You’ve been gone for many years, and your parents had another child.”

The Sect Leader understood now. “With Ning’er by their side, I have no attachments to my family anymore. My decision is final. Please don’t persuade me any further, Aunt.”

“Ah, well, Aunt will respect your decision then,” her aunt conceded.

...

“Is Li Su crafting pills? Can I come in?”

“Master, please come in.”

The sect leader entered Li Su’s room, accompanied by her aunt. The sect leader noticed Li Su was busy with alchemy and decided not to disturb him.

Meanwhile, her aunt, who had just noticed Li Su, watched him curiously. After observing for a while, she also glanced at the Holy Maiden of the Moonlight Sect. Seeing that the sect leader had no intention of leaving, her aunt had no choice but to stay and keep her company.

Inside the room, silence prevailed. Soon, a furnace of pills was ready, and a delightful fragrance filled the air.

“It smells wonderful.”

“Yes, it must be the scent of the pills. Is there a skilled practitioner here practicing alchemy?”

This fragrance even wafted throughout the inn, arousing the guests’ curiosity.

“It’s likely that senior.”
