"Nanming, take these Medicine Pills," Li Su instructed as he called several trusted elderly children in the Li family and distributed longevity pills to them. These children, who were over a hundred years old, played a crucial role in managing the family affairs and were reliable enough for Li Su to entrust them with such responsibilities.
Over the years, the Li family had grown in size and influence, becoming a power comparable to the royal family in the Wu Kingdom, if not more esteemed. Some family members even aspired to replace the royal family, while others sought to leverage the family's influence to gain positions in the court. However, Li Su himself had no interest in managing a country or getting involved in political matters. The current size of the Li family was already challenging to control, and he preferred to avoid being entangled in the complexities of ruling.
Time flew by, and Li Su's fairies in Xinna gave birth to offspring for him one after another. He now had 40 descendants with Spiritual Roots, a significant number. However, he noticed that the fairies who had given birth to multiple offspring with Spiritual Roots experienced a reduced likelihood of producing more. This was a natural law, and even Li Su's fairies had varying levels of Spiritual Roots. Some had exceptional talent like Su Yun, a genius with fifth-rank Spiritual Roots, while others had lower aptitude.
Upon reaching 40 descendants with Spiritual Roots, Li Su received another reward from the system—a 100-year increase in Cultivation Base. This reward was based on Li Su's current Cultivation Base, equivalent to his cultivation level at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. It was worth noting that the choice of Cultivation Technique did not affect the system's rewards. Li Su hadn't yet decided which Cultivation Technique to pursue, but he knew that his Spiritual Roots were not strong enough to practice top-tier techniques.
Li Su anticipated the completion of his Foundation Establishment, feeling his Zhenyuan growing stronger each day. The completion of Foundation Establishment marked a critical point where cultivators strengthened their true energy until it reached a saturation point. Afterward, they could advance to the Gold Core stage. Li Su speculated that his poor Spiritual Roots might require a higher standard for completing Foundation Establishment compared to others. Nonetheless, the rewards from the system, granting thousands of years of Cultivation Base, had provided him with a solid foundation.
Li Su became increasingly focused on expanding his family, accepting fairies into his harem and occasionally fathering offspring. The Three Great Immortal Gates' territories remained relatively calm, with most cultivators engrossed in their own cultivation and pursuing higher realms. Meanwhile, the mortal world offered a different perspective. For ordinary people, a decade of experience was considered rich, capable of shaping an entire lifetime. However, the life of an immortal cultivator could be monotonous, primarily devoted to cultivation.
After a few more years, the population of the Li family reached 50,000, and Li Su absorbed the 100-year Cultivation Base reward, marking the completion of his Foundation Establishment. Now, he faced a new question: should he attempt to reach the Gold Core stage on his own or wait for the system's rewards?
