Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 425

Chapter 425

In the following period, Li Su once again frequently took in concubines. While he had many women, as a cultivator, he didn’t need to worry about not having enough time to spend with them.

Li Su walked around the Li family mansion and found many concubines cultivating. He could only find some mortal concubines.

Under Li Su’s diligent efforts, the number of spiritual root descendants continued to increase. The speed of increasing the number of descendants had also become faster. This time, the speed of reaching a million descendants was shortened to within ten years!

After receiving two waves of great rewards, Li Su activated the Heavenly Heart, making the third decline more intense. Time was shortened to 80 years by Li Su. After the third decline became more intense, the consumption of tribulation energy also increased significantly.

Li Su didn’t mind. For him now, time was the most precious thing. Given the fierceness of the third decline, the consumption of tribulation energy was still astonishingly large. This time, she came, very likely aimed at Senior Li.

To have descendants with a first-rank spiritual root, it was necessary to have children with more powerful female cultivators, the probability would be higher.

Li Su and she were not particularly familiar with each other, it was not possible to ask her to have a child for him like that. However, one day, there was an unexpected gain. To curry favor with Li Su, a first-grade immortal sect named Mirror Moon Sect married one of their first-grade spiritual root disciples to Li Su.

After Li Su married this female cultivator named Tian Xin and worked hard, she gave birth to a child with a first-grade wood spiritual root by the end of the second year. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Finally, another child with a first-grade spiritual root had come. And it was a wood spiritual root.

This time, Li Su had gained again!

Time passed quickly. Although happy days were brief for Li Su, each day brought new joy. At almost 900 years old, he was long accustomed to longevity.

With his strength always at its peak, he remained unaffected by life or time.

Before Li Su’s crossing, immortality seemed a painful existence in Western concepts. When lacking the power to overturn everything, unable to live forever with loved ones, and trapped in an ordinary society, immortality was indeed painful.

To avoid being treated as a monster or imprisoned for blood experiments, one must hide deeply, making everyone in the world a stranger.

Even if he made friends, after waiting for decades or centuries, the whole world became strangers again. That was indeed a painful thing.

Every day, Li Su created and studied other means, living an incredibly fulfilling life. Occasionally, he still teased Su Xiaoxiao, who displayed her skills.

Li Su felt that in a few decades or a hundred years, Su Xiaoxiao should make a move. At that time, it depended on how Su Xiaoxiao chose after realizing her methods were ineffective against Li Su.

If she chose to remain an enemy, Li Su would imprison her, occasionally teasing her. If she confessed, Li Su could treat her like other witches. Judging Su Xiaoxiao’s thoughts was simple, if she enjoyed the system’s benefits, she would have submitted.

Over the years, the seven witches, after submitting, had grown rapidly. With Li Su’s assistance, the Transformation witches had reached the Refinement Void stage, passing the Thunder tribulation.

Murong Xue and Liu Feng’er had reached the perfect Refinement Void stage and were preparing to impact fusion.

Mystic Moon (You Yue) was a natural genius, surpassing Murong Xue and Liu Feng’er. The growth rate of descendants was increasing rapidly. In a few more years, with every million added descendants, it could be achieved in a few years.

With the current growth rate, descendants’ aging and passing away would not significantly impact the total number. If, at just 16, more descendants were being born, the total count would continuously increase.

If only I could find the materials, Li Su mused.

On his 900th birthday, after studying the immortal weapon fragments for hundreds of years, Li Su had gained quite a bit.

With his current cultivation level, he could use this immortal weapon fragment to a certain extent. This immortal weapon fragment was the core part of the immortal weapon, storing energy.

Using it like this was quite wasteful, and the power was greatly affected, like using a powerful magnet to hit someone. But hitting someone like this, ordinary people could not resist.

However, there was a better way to use it, find enough materials, use this immortal weapon fragment as the core, and repair it.

After the repair, it might not be comparable to the original immortal weapon, but it should be able to unleash tremendous power.

Another point was that if the repair was successful, Li Su’s attainments in refining would undergo a qualitative change.

After successful repair, Li Su could search for materials and attempt to refine the Hexagonal Mirror into an immortal weapon. Materials were still a big problem.

With this in mind, Li Su visited the residences of the lords of various sacred places, visiting their leaders.

Several months later, people from these sacred places brought many rare materials. Some of these materials were so rare that they could only be found in the spiritual realm.

Li Su did not take these materials for free, he exchanged them for some pills that would help him break through bottlenecks. With his current alchemy skills, the pills he produced were exceptionally potent.

Li Su occasionally exchanged alchemy experiences with Xuan Ding from the Nine Cauldrons Holy Lands. The Nine Cauldrons Holy Lands was exceptionally proficient in alchemy and housed many ancient formulas.

In these exchanges, even with Xuan Ding’s alchemical skills, he admired Li Su greatly. What Li Su lacked were specific methods for refining certain spiritual pills. But as long as he obtained the formula, Li Su was sure he could refine it. This level of skill was also something that made Xuan Ding take notice.

Having obtained the materials, Li Su began repairing the fragment of the immortal weapon. The time spent on this was not short.

After receiving two waves of large rewards, Li Su activated the Tianxin, making the third decline even more intense, further shortening the time. Before shortening, Li Su had already crossed dozens of waves of decline himself, and now about two-thirds remained.

After three waves of large rewards, the population of the Li family’s descendants would exceed twenty million. There would be another particularly large reward that could help Li Su break through the fourth decline in one go. Li Su’s estimate was correct. After 30 years, he successfully crossed the third decline. Li Su still went north of the North Sea, endured the formidable heavenly tribulation, and crossed the third decline.

Li Su checked and saw that after crossing the third decline, there was still a considerable amount of tribulation energy left in the system.

This tribulation energy was just right for crossing the fourth decline.

When the special reward for the population exceeding twenty million arrives, I will cross the fourth decline, Li Su thought.

The population was growing rapidly, and the growth rate of spiritual root descendants was similarly fast. There was no way around it, Li Su played a larger role in the birth of spiritual root descendants himself.

For example, among the spiritual root descendants born in the last ten years, due to Li Su’s diligent efforts, his children accounted for more than half.

Moreover, the spiritual roots of his own children were of relatively high grade. The descendants born from the descendants also had spiritual roots of high grade, but the probability was relatively low.

Even if the spiritual roots were lacking, it was better than nothing. At least they could be used to increase the count and get big rewards. After crossing the third decline, Li Su was over nine hundred years old. There were still a few years left until a thousand years.

Over nine hundred years old, he had crossed the third decline. This speed was unprecedented in history. The only person who knew he had crossed the second decline was Tao Yao. No one knew that he had crossed the third decline yet.
