Chapter 135

As Li Su left, his enthusiasm remained high, driven by the thought of the sect leader bearing his children. The sect leader was left pondering his reaction and couldn’t help but wonder if he had been motivated by her Immortal Spirit Root.

She had always believed Li Su possessed a remarkable spiritual root, perhaps comparable to hers. While the Immortal Spirit Root was undoubtedly powerful, other unique spiritual roots like the Sacred Spirit Root remained formidable even after reaching the first grade.

A first-grade spiritual root was already remarkable. Unique spiritual roots often have some extraordinary effects; sometimes, these effects could be astonishing.

“Xiao Xue, your disciple is growing so fast, why won’t he cultivate properly?” As the sect leader prepared to enter seclusion a month later, she heard her aunt’s voice.

“What’s wrong, Auntie?”UppTodated from nô/v/e/l/b(i)n.c(o)/m

The sect leader inquired, “What’s wrong?”

“He’s taken another concubine,” her aunt replied, somewhat frustrated.

Li Su had taken another concubine, and the sect leader’s aunt wasn’t surprised. She had become accustomed to it over the past two centuries.

What was the big deal about taking another concubine?

If Li Su didn’t take concubines, she might find it unusual.

“Let him be,” the sect leader said, resigning herself.

There wasn’t much she could do now, considering Li Su had surpassed her as his master. In the past, she had wanted to help Li Su sever worldly attachments, but she hadn’t been able to, and now, it seemed even more impossible.

Given Li Su’s rapid growth, the sect leader had to let him be.

“Xiao Xue, how’s your foundation repair coming along?” her aunt asked.

The sect leader replied, “It’s almost complete. Li Su gave me a Shark pearl from a Nascent Soul stage mermaid, which should help me recover faster.”

“A Shark pearl from a Nascent Soul stage mermaid? Such a valuable item. Where did he get it from?”

The sect leader’s aunt was surprised for a moment but then laughed. “Xiao Xue, he’s treating you so well. If both of your cultivations continue to rise, you’ll be a perfect match. But if this young man wants to marry our Xiao Xue, he must take a legitimate wife...”

Before her aunt could finish her sentence, the sect leader blushed and disappeared.

“Master, Li Senior will hold a concubine-taking ceremony on the 10th of next month.”

As for spreading the news, specialized individuals in the Northern Region collected information and sold it in major immortal cities.

Even though there might be some delay in communication through message stones, it usually wasn’t too significant. Now that the Peak of Hopeful Immortality was connected, those who gathered information had also established bases there.

This year, Li Su’s second concubine-taking ceremony was still lively.

However...

“Master, Li Senior is taking another concubine. He will hold the ceremony on the 20th of this month.”

Within the Falling Cloud Sect, the sect leader received another report a few days later.

“Another concubine ceremony?”

The sect leader was shocked, but in the end, she dispatched another elder.

“Master, Li Senior is taking another concubine. He will hold the ceremony on the 15th of this month.”

“Master, Li Senior is taking another concubine. He will hold the ceremony on the 28th of this month.”

...

In the following days, the sect leader of the Falling Cloud Sect received messages every few days. Her expression showed a hint of helplessness.

Li Su was taking concubines so frequently, and after sending the first congratulatory gift, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to send more in the future.

Li Su considered this and responded with gifts so they wouldn’t be disadvantaged.

“Master, should we consider sending someone else? I’ve spent less than three months inside the sect throughout the year.”

The elder responsible for delivering congratulatory gifts to Li Su was on the verge of tears.

A whole year had passed, and Li Su had been continuously taking concubines, while he had been constantly running back and forth.

For most of the year, he either delivered gifts or returned to the sect after delivering them.

He had spent just over two months inside the sect throughout the year. It seemed like Li Su was continuing to take more concubines. It felt like a never-ending cycle of taking concubines.

When would it ever stop?
