Chapter 3 - Flying Immortal Sect

    Chapter 3: Flying Immortal Sect

    For the next month, Li Su remained in the villa, relishing the blissful life of a newlywed every night. His current existence was so extraordinary that even immortals would envy him.

    Should it be done by now? After a month of cultivation, Li Su thought that all the newly acquired beautiful maidens should have conceived by now.

    With everything arranged, Li Su embarked on a solitary journey, riding his horse and departing from the villa. Galloping tirelessly, it took him three days to reach a rarely visited mountain.

    Li Su retrieved a flying sword and infused it with true essence there before stepping onto it. Despite being in the middle stage of Qi Refining, where controlling a flying sword was possible, most cultivators at this level refrained from doing so to conserve their spiritual power. It was during the Foundation Establishment stage that controlling a flying sword became more common. However, since Li Su had recently entered Foundation Establishment, he practised frugality.

    Upon stepping onto the flying sword, Li Su’s speed increased, swiftly taking him deep into the mountains. After several hours of flight, he arrived at an unassuming location.

    Taking out a token, he infused it with spiritual power. The token emitted a radiant light, revealing a hole just large enough for a single person to pass through. Li Su dismounted the flying sword and ventured inside.

    Passing through the opening, he suddenly found himself in a place enveloped in spiritual energy, with a towering mountain before him. At the foot of the mountain stood a magnificent gate, adorned with three characters,

    Flying Immortal Sect. This sect was one of the immortal sects near Wu Kingdom, which, together with two others, privately held sway over several secular countries in the vicinity. The national teacher of Wu Kingdom was a core disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect.

    Li Su himself was also a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. It was this prestigious identity that bestowed upon the Li family a unique position within Wu Kingdom and facilitated their smooth development.

    Li Su walked toward the gate.

    “He’s Senior Brother Li! I heard Senior Brother Li has reached Foundation Establishment!” exclaimed an immortal disciple from the Flying Immortal Sect, spotting Li Su and approaching him eagerly.

    “Congratulations to Brother Li for successfully establishing the foundation!” the disciple congratulated. “Our Flying Immortal Sect now has another Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

    Soon, other disciples noticed Li Su and joined in to offer their congratulations. Although it had taken Li Su a hundred years to reach Foundation Establishment, the cultivation world respected his strength. Regardless of the time taken, once someone reached Foundation Establishment, they were considered a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Many people with better spiritual roots than Li Su might never reach this stage in their entire lifetime. Therefore, the Flying Immortal Sect disciples saw no reason to ridicule him.

    The woman in white glanced at Li Su and finally spoke, “As a cultivator, one should avoid getting too close to the opposite sex and forming worldly attachments...”

    She paused for a moment, realizing that given Li Su’s aptitude, he might have already reached his limit by achieving Foundation Establishment at the age of one hundred. In fact, it was already beyond her expectations that Li Su could achieve such a feat at that age. Thus, she decided to let Li Su do as he pleased. Perhaps in a few decades, his lifespan would be exhausted, and he would turn into dust.

    Even if a cultivator reached the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, they could only live for a little over two hundred years. Li Su might not even be able to reach that level.

    At this point, the Sect Master’s interest waned, and she waved her hand dismissively, losing her enthusiasm for further conversation.

    “Master, I’ll take my leave,” Li Su tactfully said while leaving the room.

    However, his mind was filled with the thought that if the master could bear a child for him, the chances of having offspring with spiritual roots would increase. But to ask a Golden Core cultivator to have a child for him? It seemed like an unattainable dream.

    After leaving the main hall, Li Su returned to his residence in the Flying Immortal Sect—a simple and plain courtyard.

    The living quarters were not luxurious, but the location was favorable, and the spiritual energy was abundant. If Li Su intended to cultivate on his own, this location would serve him well.

    However, in the eighty years since he arrived there, Li Su had never truly focused on cultivation. His progress was too slow. He preferred to work hard, exercise physically, and strive to have more children.

    Li Su planned to wait in the sect until the refining room completed crafting his magic tool before leaving the Flying Immortal Sect.

    During his stay, Li Su received several visits from fellow disciples of the sect.

    “Brother Li, I never expected you to achieve Foundation Establishment. I fear I will never be able to attain it in my lifetime.” That evening, a female cultivator visited Li Su.

    Female cultivators were scarce in the Flying Immortal Sect, and she was one of the ones introduced by Li Su. She held a fondness for him.

    Although her spiritual roots were superior to Li Su’s, they were still limited, and she could not access many valuable resources. Hence, the possibility of her achieving a Foundation Establishment in her lifetime was very low.
