When Li Su returned to the Li family, he was accompanied by another "fairy" by his side. Her name was Shen Xinyue, one of the female cultivators who had presented Li Su with a token of love on Xianjue Ridge.
Despite not being young anymore, Shen Xinyue still possessed a youthful appearance. Many female cultivators subconsciously invested energy into maintaining their looks, using methods such as Zhuyan Pills to appear younger than their male counterparts. However, this pursuit of beauty sometimes hindered their progress in cultivation.
Ning Xiaoyu warmly welcomed Shen Xinyue's arrival, treating her as a little sister. Since both of Shen Xinyue's parents had passed away, she decided to follow Li Su back to his home.
During the three-day stay on Xianjue Mountain, four more female cultivators presented tokens of love to Li Su. However, in the end, he only chose two of them. One had an eccentric personality that Li Su didn't resonate with, and the other lacked the desired beauty. While Li Su prioritized qualities such as beauty and compatibility, it was also crucial for the chosen women to possess Spiritual Roots, as it determined the likelihood of having offspring with exceptional potential.
After marrying Shen Xinyue, Li Su organized a welcoming procession to bring another female cultivator to his home. This particular nun came from an immortal-cultivating family. The desire to connect with Li Su led several Xiuxian families with daughters to seek a relationship with him. However, not all families had suitable candidates, and not every daughter possessed exceptional beauty. The selection process for Li Su's additional spouse was a careful one, considering factors such as family reputation, the daughter's desires, and overall compatibility.
News of Li Su's penchant for taking concubines had spread throughout the Immortal World of Cultivators in the Wu Kingdom. Nevertheless, his reputation as a caring and considerate partner overshadowed any concerns. Li Su's appearance, strength, and character made him an ideal choice for many families seeking to secure a high-status marriage for their daughters.
In Luo City, common people continued to praise Li Su as a living immortal. His reputation was bolstered by the fact that the Li family's banquets were known for their exceptional quality. The Li family even extended their generosity to provide meals for homeless individuals, earning further admiration from the local population.
After Shen Xinyue's marriage to the Li family, she quickly gave birth to Li Su's child. Following Ning Xiaoyu's example, she continued to bear more children for Li Su, eventually giving birth to three in five years. Additionally, another nun named Mo Ling, who had presented Li Su with a token of love, also gave birth to a child with Spiritual Roots. The recruitment of female cultivators by Li Su resulted in yet another descendant with Spiritual Roots.
In just five years, the Li family's descendants increased significantly, and Li Su's Cultivation Base grew stronger. He had progressed from the seventh floor to the eighth floor of the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it was only a single layer, reaching higher levels became increasingly challenging. The lack of a qualitative change in his rewards made each layer more difficult to achieve.
Amidst his responsibilities, Li Su discovered a new hobby: refining weapons. Utilizing the 100 years of refining experience gained from rewards, he began refining magical items. With the materials he acquired from Feixianzong, he was now capable of crafting high-grade magical items. These top-grade magical items were comparable to cultivators in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment.
During this period, a member of an immortal cultivating family personally visited Li Su, expressing their daughter's admiration and
the family's desire to form a connection. The news of Li Su's progression to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment had gradually spread over the years. Though it took time for such information to circulate, it eventually reached Xiuxian families seeking a relationship with Li Su.
Impressed by Li Su's growing strength and reputation, families began taking the initiative to present their daughters for potential marriage. Such visits were welcomed by Li Su and further solidified his status as a sought-after figure within the cultivation world.
