Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 348

Chapter 348

“Is Husband going to take in more concubines?”

“Saintess, Husband must have his reasons for taking in more concubines. Let’s help him with the arrangements.”

In the Xuantian Academy, the conversation between Saintess Zixue and Lu Qiu echoed because Li Su was about to take in more concubines.

The Xuantian Realm stretched far and wide, with the Xuantian Academy reigning supreme in the absence of any top-tier immortal sects. Nevertheless, there were a few second and third-tier immortal sects, mostly affiliated with the Xuantian Academy, tasked with identifying potential talents. These sects adhered to stringent standards for recruiting disciples into the academy, where those blessed with heavenly spiritual roots could gain direct entry.

For individuals possessing fourth-grade spiritual roots, even those with extraordinary or rare spiritual attributes, joining affiliated immortal sects was a prerequisite. Take, for instance, someone with a fourth-grade fire spiritual root. While mastering fire-based techniques might yield results similar to a third-grade spiritual root, affiliation with an immortal sect was mandatory. The entire Xuantian Realm flourished, offering opportunities for those with fourth-grade spiritual roots to attain the Fusion stage if luck favored them.

Luck played a pivotal role, and those unfortunate might find themselves stagnating below the Fusion stage, even with first-grade spiritual roots. This explained the prevalence of events similar to “Ascension Conferences” across all immortal sects—aimed at identifying cultivators with less impressive talents but better luck.

Some cultivators, despite mediocre spiritual roots, thrived on exceptional opportunities. Witnessing Li Su’s intention to take in more concubines, Saintess Zixue and Lu Qiu promptly began orchestrating the arrangements. This time, Li Su opted against frequenting the Northern Region, as the round trip consumed several months, a luxury he couldn’t afford.

The plan was to first take in concubines within the Xuantian Realm and subsequently bring them back to Wolong Mountain. Leveraging her high authority within the Xuantian Academy, Saintess Zixue effortlessly transformed a spiritually rich mountain earmarked for expansion into a sanctified haven for Li Su in the Xuantian Realm.

The Xuantian Academy eagerly awaited Li Su’s arrival in the Xuantian Realm, offering wholehearted cooperation.

Under Zixue’s guidance, the academy worked tirelessly, completing the construction of the cave and blessed land in just half a month—a remarkable efficiency.

In comparison, Li Su’s sanctuary on Wolong Mountain had been under construction for several years without reaching completion. The dedication of a sacred place in full operation was truly formidable.

Upon completion, Zixue, the Saintess, meticulously enhanced the spiritual energy by crushing numerous spirit stones, creating an ethereal sanctuary. As Li Su entered, he beheld a fairyland with celestial mountains, cascading waterfalls, herb gardens, and a jade-like lake.

The structures harmoniously blended with the natural landscape, leaving even the most skilled architects from Li Su’s pre-travel era in awe.

“Li Su, consider this sanctuary a gift from the academy. If you feel uneasy, you can take on an elder position and enjoy the benefits. Once you complete your union, we’ll assist you in overcoming tribulations!” declared Lord Chang Feng.

After a moment’s contemplation, Li Su agreed.

The academy’s sincerity was undeniable. Despite Li Su not being a reincarnated immortal, it became inconsequential in light of their generosity. Moreover, Li Su’s extraordinary nature surpassed that of true reincarnated immortals.

Lord Cheng Feng, elated, recognized this accomplishment as surpassing even Feng Tian Lord’s achievements. Upon his departure, Li Su, accompanied by Saintess Zixue and others, entered the hidden paradise.

Here, he conducted his first concubine-taking ceremony in the Xuantian Realm, maintaining the ceremonial standards of a wedding.

This time, Li Su’s primary objective was to ensure that his spiritual lineage reached a count of 4000, earning rewards and aiding Tao Yao. However, this didn’t imply a reduction in the wedding ceremony standards for newly taken concubines.

Li Su’s first concubine hailed from a second-grade immortal sect. Ten years ago, she visited the Northern Territory upon hearing Li Su’s name, developing an admiration for him. However, during those years, Li Su focused mainly on immortal artifact fragments and didn’t take many concubines.

Venerable Lord Chang Feng brought a substantial congratulatory gift. Many sect leaders in the Xuantian Realm also sent gifts. However, the gifts seemed endless, as within a month, Li Su took another concubine.

News of his arrival in the Xuantian Realm spread quickly. Cultivation world information flowed faster here than in the Canglan Realm. Female cultivators with an interest in Li Su were more likely to catch his attention once he started taking concubines.

“Venerable Lord, Li Su has taken another concubine.”

“What? He has taken three this month!”

Venerable Lord Chang Feng was astonished, Li Su had taken three concubines in just one month.

But soon, he realized it was just the beginning.

“How is he taking so many concubines?”

A year later, Venerable Lord Chang Feng was bewildered. Li Su had not stopped taking concubines, and the congratulatory gifts kept piling up, maintaining the same level of generosity.

As a fifth-stage Celestial Tribulation powerhouse, he didn’t care much about the gifts, especially since Li Su often reciprocated. However, Li Su’s speed in taking concubines left him astonished. Rumors about Li Su’s concubines had circulated, but witnessing it firsthand startled him, and he wasn’t alone.

Many prodigies at Xuantian Academy were left astonished, excluding those in seclusion. In the past year, the number of Li Su’s descendants with strong spiritual roots didn’t significantly increase as it was a time for cultivation. While his criteria for taking concubines remained unchanged, Li Su did slightly lower his cultivation level.

Now, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators were considered, and Li Su would take in some exceptional Foundation Establishment stage female cultivators as well. Throughout the year, Tao Yao still found herself lost in thought from time to time. Once, she even recalled some vague images. However, after that particular incident, her periods of absent-mindedness became shorter. This caused Li Su to feel a sense of urgency—time was running out for Tao Yao.

In the second year, Li Su intensified his efforts in taking concubines. From that year onward, one after another, Li Su’s descendants continued to be born. These descendants had decent spiritual roots and could contribute some scattered experiences. However, what Li Su needed most was quantity. The gained experience from these births was not sufficient, he required the substantial rewards of experience.

Saintess Zixue and Lu Qiu became his logistical support. Especially, Lu Qiu brought in a large number of maidservants and handmaidens to take care of Li Su’s concubines and children. “Senior Li is quite skilled at taking in concubines~” “Why do I feel like, at this rate, he’s going to take in even more this year~”

In Xuantian Academy, some disciples had been neglecting their seclusion recently, and many were curious about how many concubines Li Su intended to take. “Master, I also want to marry Li Su~” Not only that, but some female cultivators from the Xuantian Academy also harbored such thoughts. Although they were talented, how could they compare to a reincarnated immortal?

Li Su had an abundance of talented and outstanding women. According to current rumors, among Li Su’s women, there was even a Unity Stage Mistress from the Dieyun Peak. Additionally, there were numerous women in the foundation-building stage, as well as a large number of Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators.
