Li Su, standing on Xianjue Ridge, observed a fellow cultivator named Bai who had been attending the Rogue Cultivators rally for several years. Every time they met, Li Su noticed a significant growth in Bai's cultivation base. This time, Bai deliberately concealed his aura, but Li Su, with his higher cultivation level, still detected the signs. It seemed that Bai had reached the seventh floor of the Foundation Establishment stage, which impressed Li Su. Twenty years ago, when they first met, Bai was only at the second floor of Foundation Establishment. Ten years later, he had progressed to the fourth or fifth floor. Now, he had made an impressive leap to the seventh floor, surpassing the speed of many core disciples in Feixianzong.
Despite his suspicions about Bai, Li Su maintained a calm facade. Bai greeted Li Su, acknowledging his remarkable progress and expressing admiration. Li Su responded casually, not revealing his true thoughts. Many Rogue Cultivators surrounded them, and during the day, Li Su shared his knowledge with them. At night, he retired to his tent, where he received numerous love tokens from admirers, even more than before. Li Su's reputation had soared after news spread of his advancement to the Foundation Establishment late stage and his marriage to a princess. This newfound status attracted female cultivators who saw his potential to reach the coveted Gold Core stage, and they eagerly sought to become his concubines.
As the days passed, news circulated on Xianjue Ridge about two powerful Demonic Beasts engaged in a fierce battle on Mangcang Mountain. The impact of their fight caused a bright light to shine, indicating the presence of a potentially significant Spirit Stones mine. Rogue Cultivators discussed the matter, intrigued by the opportunity to obtain Spirit Stones, a valuable resource controlled by the major immortal sects. The mine was unique, with scattered deposits accessible through underground crevices. Rogue Cultivators speculated on the risks and rewards, with some excited about the chance to acquire Spirit Stones and others hesitant due to the danger posed by Demonic Beasts.
Observing the growing interest, Li Su noticed Bai bidding him farewell, expressing his intention to visit Mangcang Mountain. Li Su suspected that Bai had ulterior motives, considering that the Rogue Cultivators who had accompanied him on a previous expedition were absent this time. Li Su became increasingly convinced that something was amiss with Bai. Meanwhile, more Rogue Cultivators decided to venture to Mangcang Mountain, some driven by the prospect of seizing this rare opportunity.
Li Su turned to the nuns accompanying him and inquired about their plans. One of the nuns expressed her desire to stay by Li Su's side, and the others concurred. Li Su appreciated their loyalty but decided against joining the excursion. He preferred to return to An Xinxin, hoping for her swift progress in cultivation and her eventual breakthrough to the Gold Core stage.
As the narrative continued, Li Su's thoughts shifted away from the imminent expedition, highlighting his disdain for such excitements. He believed it best to focus on An Xinxin's development, allowing her to flourish and reach her full potential. With that in mind, Li Su chose not to partake in the adventure to Mangcang Mountain and instead prepared to return, yearning for An Xinxin's successful cultivation journey and her eventual attainment of the Gold Core stage.
