Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 287

Chapter 287

Given enough time, even Qi Refining cultivators would have been unable to withstand it. While these cultivators didn’t know the identity of the attacking demonic cultivators, the astonishing battle scene made them aware that their enemies were Nascent Soul cultivators and exceptionally powerful ones at that.

However, Li Su handled all these enemies! This once again made many cultivators realize Li Su’s immense strength. Li Su had already returned to the Li Family’s residence and was no longer visible.

“Saintess, my recent speculation—let’s not report it to the Academy just yet. After all, it’s still speculative, and if it spreads and Li Su is unwilling to join the Academy, it won’t be beneficial for him.”

“I suggest we observe a bit longer here. If more demon cultivators are coming, we can act sooner next time, regardless of whether he’s a reincarnated immortal or not. We should convey our goodwill first.”

Beside Saintess Zixue, the green-clad girl spoke. Saintess Zixue remained silent for a few seconds, then turned and flew into the temporary cave she had constructed while waiting for Li Su. She was planning to stay here for an extended period. The green-clad girl followed her and said, “Your surname is Lu, right? The Saintess and I will be in seclusion here. You can go about your own activities.” As she walked away, the green-clad girl whispered to the Xu cultivator. Naturally, he hadn’t heard her previous conversation with Saintess Zixue. This Xu cultivator, despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator and a disciple of a sacred place, was not even remembered by his real name to her and was as silent as a mouse and didn’t dare to make a peep.

“Of course, Saintess. If you need anything, just call me.” The Xu cultivator said before quickly departing. In the presence of Saintess Zixue, he felt an extraordinary amount of pressure.

“Wow, so many spirit stones!” Inside the Li Family’s residence, the process of cataloging the spoils had begun. This time, Li Su had completely wiped out an elite group of demonic cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Palace, so the spoils were indeed substantial. The most valuable loot among them was the spirit stones. Many of the items belonging to the demonic cultivators were of little use to Li Su. However, when all the spirit stones were poured out, they formed a mountain of wealth. After the final count, there were approximately over two million spirit stones. The spirit stones were now being valued according to the standards of the Canglan Realm, and even within the Flying Immortal Sect, they no longer bothered to split one spirit stone into numerous smaller pieces. What was more, among these spirit stones, there were quite a few of higher quality.

“Intermediate-grade spirit stones,” Li Su murmured. Spirit stones also had grades, but the majority of spirit stones mined were of the lowest grade. Intermediate-grade spirit stones were often only found in very large spirit stone mines. One intermediate-grade spirit stone contained approximately 15 times the amount of spiritual energy as 15 lower-grade spirit stones of the same size. The spiritual energy was not only purer but also much more abundant. However, a single intermediate-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 100 lower-grade spirit stones. This exchange rate wasn’t based on the quantity of spiritual energy alone. Purer substances naturally had greater value.

The Li Family’s warehouse also experienced a significant influx of wealth. The quantity of spirit stones was a sign of the strength and resources of a sect or family. These spirit stones were somewhat similar to money in the context of the world Li Su had come from before, but their utility far exceeded that of money. In certain circumstances, money was merely paper, but spirit stones had practical, tangible uses.

Even the wealthiest mortal merchants in this world couldn’t hope to buy even a small piece of one. As for the other items that were of no use to Li Su, he simply destroyed them. However, he did come across some books, cultivation techniques, and magical treasures from the Blood Temple. “Blood Temple,” he muttered, learning the name of this demonic sect. It was a second-tier demonic sect, and there was likely a figure similar to the “Heavenly Demon” behind it. Li Su didn’t dwell on whether the Blood God behind the Blood Temple was stronger or weaker than the Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Judging by the might of the demonic forces, it appeared that the Blood God held a greater power, but it was hard to state with certainty. Li Su didn’t dwell on such comparisons. At his current stage, both of these individuals were overwhelmingly potent compared to him.

The recent attack by the demonic sect had indeed roused a sense of urgency in Li Su. The emergence of a second-tier demonic sect was unexpected. It was improbable that many people in Su City were aware of the exact strength of these intruders. Local cultivators only knew there were Nascent Soul-level demonic cultivators involved, but they lacked specific information about the master of the Blood God Temple.

On the other hand, the demonic sect likely had a good grasp of their own power. Additionally, the Saintess from the Xuantian Academy was present. The academy wasn’t overly concerned, but the worry revolved more around the demonic sect and the woman from the Eastern family. They would undoubtedly reassess their evaluation of his strength. In the event of another confrontation, they would undoubtedly come better prepared.

Li Su wasn’t overly concerned either. He had the Peak Nascent Soul expert, the Master of Daiyun, residing in his home. Moreover, within the Returning Origin Sect, there were certainly Nascent Soul cultivators who could join the battle if needed. This time, he only wished to avoid burdening the Master of Daiyun with more favors. It would be even more convenient to have him step in. However, Li Su felt the need to enhance his own strength further. It was better to attain the Unity stage sooner.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators were formidable, they were considered transitional in a way.
