"The name of the senior is known to everyone in the Wu Kingdom, and everyone recognizes it. It is a great fortune to meet you today," exclaimed one of the Rogue Cultivators surrounding Li Su on Xianjue Mountain.
"I didn't expect the senior to be the famous ancestor of the Li family in my country of Wu. Please forgive me, Junior, for being blind and not being able to recognize the senior," apologized one of the qi-refining late-stage Rogue Cultivators who had brought Li Su there.
Li Su's fame had spread far and wide, primarily due to his unique circumstances as a disciple of the immortal sect who chose to stay in the mortal world. Unlike other immortal cultivators who severed their worldly ties, Li Su took in numerous concubines and built a prosperous secular family. Combined with his hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment, news of his achievements had reached a large number of Rogue Cultivators. His fame gave hope to those with less promising qualifications, as they saw Li Su's success as a testament to their potential.
As Li Su stood among the Rogue Cultivators, he maintained the demeanour of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He responded to their greetings and gestures, making the cultivators feel honoured by his presence.
Meanwhile, a group of female cultivators who had come together observed the scene from afar. They had heard about the ancestor of the Li family, but seeing Li Su in person surprised them. The impression they had formed of him as an old man nostalgic for the world was shattered when they laid eyes on his youthful appearance and exceptional temperament.
"Why is he so young?" One of the female cultivators exclaimed, perplexed. Although the Qi refining period could delay ageing to a certain extent, Li Su's youthful appearance seemed impossible to achieve through normal means.
"He is indeed Li senior. Look at his distinctive looks and radiant energy. He doesn't look a day older than eighteen. No wonder he achieved Foundation Establishment at a hundred years old," another cultivator confirmed, her eyes fixed on Li Su.
The female cultivators, intrigued by his appearance and reputation, decided to approach Li Su. They believed it was a rare opportunity to meet a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment period and hoped to leave a good impression or even receive guidance from him.
After exchanging greetings, the female cultivators expressed their admiration for Li Su, with one of them suggesting that Lu Weijia, who had no interest in marrying into the Wang family, could consider marrying Li Su instead. The mention of this possibility caused Lu Weijia's face to turn red, but she couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for Li Su.
As the Rogue Cultivators gathering continued, the crowd around Li Su gradually thinned out, but new cultivators arrived one after another. Some came to exchange cultivation experience or collect information about the Immortal World, while others sought to trade items such as Medicine Pills and Spirit Stones.
Li Su, participating in such a gathering for the first time, also took the opportunity to meet fellow cultivators, expand his network, and learn from their experiences.
Among the newcomers were the Zhang family from Nancheng, who approached Li Su with their daughter, expressing her admiration and hoping to accompany him at the assembly. Observing this, someone whispered to Lu Weijia that the Zhang family seemed intent on marrying their daughter off to Li Su, implying that if she didn't make a move, she might be preempted by someone else.
With over a thousand words, the scene captures the atmosphere of the Rogue Cultivators gathering, the intrigue surrounding Li Su's fame and appearance, and the budding romantic interests of some female cultivators.
