By the time the banquet concluded, it was already late at night. The Bixia Sect had prepared generous gifts for everyone, with Li Su’s particularly abundant gift. The gift didn’t include spirit stones, as the Bixia Sect had depleted a significant portion of their spirit stones during this endeavor and had none left for themselves.
However, as one of the most powerful third-tier immortal sects in the Northern Realm, the Bixia Sect had access to an extensive array of other valuable resources and treasures in their collection.
In the generous gift presented to Li Su, there were numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Additionally, there were 20 Jin of Monkey Wine.
It did make Bihai reluctant to part with the Monkey Wine, but to express his gratitude to Li Su, he decided to present it. The Bixia Sect had also arranged accommodations for the Nascent Soul cultivators, but they chose to take their leaves individually. They needed to return to their respective sects to check on matters before they could relax.
Li Su also took his leave.
“Friend Li, you’ve just achieved the Deity Transformation stage and must stabilize your cultivation. I won’t keep you any longer, but once you’re settled, make sure to visit the Bixia Sect so we can have a proper exchange,” Bihai extended his invitation.
Li Su accepted and boarded a few flying boats that headed towards the northeast.
“Heartwater, Heartmoon, I’m returning to the Panoramic Immortal Corner for now, and I’ll visit the Watermoon Sect afterward,” he informed.
“Of course, husband~” Li Su bid farewell to his twin concubines.
Soon, Li Su, the sect leader, and her aunt left.
Li Su hadn’t been home for over a year, so it was only natural for him to pay a visit. The sect leader and her aunt were on another flying boat.The sect leader still stood at the forefront of the boat, under the moonlight, with her eyes reflecting the vast expanse of stars, exuding the same peerless charm.
Li Su wasn’t sure what was on her mind. After some contemplation, he retracted his flying boat and joined them on their boat.
However, when he arrived on the sect leader’s boat, he found himself at a loss for words, possibly because her aunt was present.
After several days and nights of travel, they eventually reached the Panoramic Immortal Corner.
Li Su spoke, “Elixir Garden, I’m going to the Spirit Medicine Garden.”
The sect leader’s aunt departed, leaving the leader in the lead with Li Su behind. They continued until they reached the back of the mountain.
Li Su didn’t explain why he was following the sect leader, and she didn’t ask.
The back of the mountain appeared just as it always had, with a grand hall and a few secluded chambers used for cultivation. Finally, the sect leader stopped, and Li Su did the same.
Then, she turned around, and her bright eyes gazed at Li Su.
“Li Su, do you have something to say to me?” the sect leader asked.
Li Su was momentarily caught off guard.
Now, he had finally achieved the Divine Transformation stage.
This had been his relentless aspiration for over two centuries, from his days as a mortal to the present, a two-century-long obsession.
What Li Su truly desired was to ask the sect leader to be his partner and bear his child. The prospect of having a child was a reflection of this desire, and he had longed for the sect leader to become his beloved, a desire that had been deeply suppressed during his earlier stages of cultivation.
His newfound strength at the Divine Transformation stage left him uncertain about approaching this desire.Li Su thought.
But then, an unexpected sound broke the silence. The sect leader, sitting across from him, burst into laughter. Her laughter possessed a captivating charm, as though it could make a hundred flowers bloom. Li Su’s heart quickened, witnessing her smile in this manner for the first time.
“Master, you’re truly beautiful,” Li Su complimented her.
His words caused the sect leader to blush, and she responded softly, “This statement is true, Master.”
“Congratulations, Li Su,” the sect leader congratulated him.
“Thank you, Master,” Li Su replied.
The sect leader continued to offer guidance, reminding Li Su of the long road ahead despite his remarkable achievement. However, midway through her admonishment, she realized that focusing solely on cultivation might be difficult for him.
Over the past two centuries, Li Su had taken numerous concubines, and his list of consorts had grown considerably, especially since he entered the Northern Realm. Despite his many relationships, he had rapidly progressed and reached the Deity Transformation stage.
With these thoughts in mind, the sect leader shifted her advice, “Master, do you still have the elixirs I gave you before?”
She had given up on advising Li Su and now expressed concern for his well-being. The sect leader then revealed her plan to enter seclusion and make a concentrated effort to reach the Divine Transformation stage.As someone with Immortal Spirit Roots, it was widely known that it took one hundred years to attain a Nascent Soul and two hundred years to achieve Divine Transformation. Given her previous cultivation, she was likely to reach the Deity Transformation stage shortly after restoring her foundational power, considering her formidable foundation.
Li Su offered elixirs he had crafted, specifically tailored to enhance her spiritual consciousness, Divine Foundation Pill, and other elixirs that accelerated the condensation of true essence. These resulted from his efforts during his travels through the Northern Realm with Bai Ling. Li Su had also been researching advanced storage rings.
Seeing Li Su’s generous gesture, the sect leader was shocked and thanked him, saying, “Master, I hope you’ll reach the Divine Transformation stage soon.”
She accepted the storage bag, her gaze lingering on Li Su. He had done much for her, and she could feel his sincerity.
The sect leader expressed her gratitude and left, heading inside to begin seclusion for her Divine Transformation breakthrough. This seclusion was likely to be quite lengthy.
