Chapter 119

Li Su examined the option of body-refining cultivation with interest. Although it wasn’t prevalent in the Northern Region, it held value. This added 2000 years of cultivation, albeit with a lifespan extension of only 1000 years, unlike spiritual cultivation’s 2000-year extension.

Li Su took his time, absorbing the 2000 years of cultivation. After two days, he felt himself ascend two levels, reaching the early stage of the third level of Nascent Soul.

Reaching only the early third level of Nascent Soul with 2000 years of cultivation? Li Su pondered. He soon realized it was due to his sixth-grade spiritual root and relatively low Nascent Soul stage.

With a sixth-grade spiritual root, advancing to Nascent Soul was already challenging. Typically, a Nascent Soul cultivator would have around 2,000 years of lifespan left. This limited time meant a cultivator with a sixth-grade spiritual root would only reach the second or third level of Nascent Soul before running out of lifespan.

Li Su knew that a first-grade spiritual root would have allowed him to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage easily, but his circumstances had required him to spend over a thousand years to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Li Su hadn’t distributed the 2000 years of experience yet and was surprised to find that one of his Li family descendants had reached a cultivation level of 200,000, adding another 2000 years of experience to his account.

This is truly satisfying! Li Su couldn’t contain his excitement. He absorbed the cultivation and spent two more days doing so. When he checked his Nascent Soul again, he had progressed to the middle stages of the fourth level of Nascent Soul.

The fourth level of Nascent Soul, Li Su mused, in the late stages of the fourth level and on the cusp of the fifth.

I just need to improve my spiritual roots, Li Su thought. The chances of his previous female companions giving birth to spiritual root descendants were low. He contemplated taking additional wives while caring for his existing companions, providing them with lifespan-extending pills and cultivation enhancements.

He initially allocated 100 years of secret technique experience to refine the Dust Demon Pill. Yes, Li Su devised a method to forcibly extract the Dust Demon Pill formula using secret technique experience. Once allocated, he felt a noticeable difference. In essence, these 100 years of secret technique experience were equivalent to Li Su gaining over a thousand years of alchemy experience as a master alchemist and then dedicating 100 years to research the production of the Dust Demon Pill.

“It should suffice.” Considering his extensive alchemical foundation, these 100 years of experience indeed appeared adequate. Nevertheless, Li Su wasn’t complacent and added 400 years of alchemy experience. He returned to the alchemy room and commenced the refining process once more. After squandering three sets of materials this time, Li Su finally crafted the Dust Demon Pill.

“Silent Moon, take a look. Does it resemble this?” Li Su handed the Dust Demon Pill to Silent Moon. She accepted it, sniffed it, and her face showed unmistakable excitement. She could finally break the Demon’s Seal.

“Husband, thank you!” Silent Moon now addressed Li Su as her husband. She hadn’t noticed the change in Li Su’s cultivation. Fearing to alarm her, Li Su planned to stabilize his cultivation for a few months before exploring the Immortal Sect Ruins. He could explain it as encountering some kind of adventure inside. Achieving the middle stage of Nascent Soul in just over a year was too astonishing and could arouse suspicion. Naturally, he couldn’t disclose the existence of the “golden finger” to anyone. He needed to find a plausible explanation or let others formulate their theories.

“Silent Moon, we still have four sets of materials left. Would you like to refine those too?” Li Su inquired.

Turning to Silent Moon, he asked again, “Silent Moon, do you want to refine all of them?”

After considering for a moment, Silent Moon replied, “Let’s refine all of them. I know a few people in the Demonic Palace who also want to break the Demon’s Seal so I can sell them to them.”

“Very well.” Li Su wasted no time and refined the remaining four sets of materials, handing them over to Silent Moon.

“Husband, with these Dust Demon Pills, it will take me a few months to a year to break the Demon’s Seal. It’s a delicate process affecting my entire body, and I must be cautious,” Silent Moon explained.

“Understood.” Li Su gently touched her head, causing her cheeks to redden.Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m
