BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3 - Flying Immortal Sect
Chapter 3 - Flying Immortal Sect
Should it be done by now? After a month of cultivation, Li Su thought that all the newly acquired beautiful maidens should have conceived by now.
With everything arranged, Li Su embarked on a solitary journey, riding his horse and departing from the villa. Galloping tirelessly, it took him three days to reach a rarely visited mountain.
Li Su retrieved a flying sword and infused it with true essence there before stepping onto it. Despite being in the middle stage of Qi Refining, where controlling a flying sword was possible, most cultivators at this level refrained from doing so to conserve their spiritual power. It was during the Foundation Establishment stage that controlling a flying sword became more common. However, since Li Su had recently entered Foundation Establishment, he practised frugality.
Upon stepping onto the flying sword, Li Su’s speed increased, swiftly taking him deep into the mountains. After several hours of flight, he arrived at an unassuming location.
Taking out a token, he infused it with spiritual power. The token emitted a radiant light, revealing a hole just large enough for a single person to pass through. Li Su dismounted the flying sword and ventured inside.
Passing through the opening, he suddenly found himself in a place enveloped in spiritual energy, with a towering mountain before him. At the foot of the mountain stood a magnificent gate, adorned with three characters,
Flying Immortal Sect. This sect was one of the immortal sects near Wu Kingdom, which, together with two others, privately held sway over several secular countries in the vicinity. The national teacher of Wu Kingdom was a core disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect.
Li Su himself was also a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. It was this prestigious identity that bestowed upon the Li family a unique position within Wu Kingdom and facilitated their smooth development.
Li Su walked toward the gate.
“He’s Senior Brother Li! I heard Senior Brother Li has reached Foundation Establishment!” exclaimed an immortal disciple from the Flying Immortal Sect, spotting Li Su and approaching him eagerly.
“Congratulations to Brother Li for successfully establishing the foundation!” the disciple congratulated. “Our Flying Immortal Sect now has another Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
Soon, other disciples noticed Li Su and joined in to offer their congratulations. Although it had taken Li Su a hundred years to reach Foundation Establishment, the cultivation world respected his strength. Regardless of the time taken, once someone reached Foundation Establishment, they were considered a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Many people with better spiritual roots than Li Su might never reach this stage in their entire lifetime. Therefore, the Flying Immortal Sect disciples saw no reason to ridicule him.
“Congratulations, Brother Li, on your success in establishing the foundation. It was not an easy feat to achieve at 100 years old. Please accept this as my gift to you,” said a Foundation Establishment stage disciple, approaching Li Su and handing him a pill.
This Foundation Establishment stage disciple was only in his forties and had already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in terms of strength. Li Su’s successful establishment of the foundation surprised many people, and this friendly gesture from the disciple further demonstrated goodwill.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Gong,” Li Su expressed his gratitude.
Li Su’s arrival did not cause a significant disturbance. Many disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect were in seclusion, and only a few people were guarding outside. After conversing with the guards for a while, Li Su continued his journey toward the main peak of the Flying Immortal Sect. There stood a magnificent golden palace. Li Su arrived outside the palace.
“Please announce that Junior Brother Li Su, an outer disciple, has come to collect the reward for establishing a foundation,” Li Su said to the female cultivator guarding the palace.
Indeed, this time Li Su had come specifically to claim his rewards. After successfully establishing a foundation in the Flying Immortal Sect, one could receive Foundation Establishment period magic tools, solidifying pills, and other highly valuable items.
Soon, Li Su entered the palace. The interior was spacious, and seated at the head was a woman dressed in white.
“Greetings, Sect Master,” Li Su bowed respectfully.
This woman was the Sect Master of the Flying Immortal Sect, a powerful cultivator in the late Golden Core stage!
When Li Su first transmigrated, he had encountered her while she was injured. He had offered her a small helping hand, and it was precisely because of that act that Li Su, despite his mediocre spiritual roots, could continue enjoying the status of an outer disciple in the Flying Immortal Sect.
The woman in the white dress raised her head and cast a glance at Li Su. Then, she raised her hand and tossed a small bag to him. Li Su took a look inside and found five or six pills.
“I thought you would never be able to establish a foundation in this lifetime, but I did not expect you to successfully achieve it at the age of one hundred. These pills should be able to slightly extend your lifespan,” the woman in the white dress said in a cold tone.
“Thank you, Sect Master,” Li Su expressed his gratitude.
“I have instructed the Refining Pavilion to craft a magic tool for you. You can wait here for ten days,” the woman in the white dress added.
“Okay, Sect Master,” Li Su replied.
The woman in white glanced at Li Su and finally spoke, “As a cultivator, one should avoid getting too close to the opposite sex and forming worldly attachments…”
She paused for a moment, realizing that given Li Su’s aptitude, he might have already reached his limit by achieving Foundation Establishment at the age of one hundred. In fact, it was already beyond her expectations that Li Su could achieve such a feat at that age. Thus, she decided to let Li Su do as he pleased. Perhaps in a few decades, his lifespan would be exhausted, and he would turn into dust.
Even if a cultivator reached the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, they could only live for a little over two hundred years. Li Su might not even be able to reach that level.
At this point, the Sect Master’s interest waned, and she waved her hand dismissively, losing her enthusiasm for further conversation.
“Master, I’ll take my leave,” Li Su tactfully said while leaving the room.
However, his mind was filled with the thought that if the master could bear a child for him, the chances of having offspring with spiritual roots would increase. But to ask a Golden Core cultivator to have a child for him? It seemed like an unattainable dream.
After leaving the main hall, Li Su returned to his residence in the Flying Immortal Sect—a simple and plain courtyard.
The living quarters were not luxurious, but the location was favorable, and the spiritual energy was abundant. If Li Su intended to cultivate on his own, this location would serve him well.
However, in the eighty years since he arrived there, Li Su had never truly focused on cultivation. His progress was too slow. He preferred to work hard, exercise physically, and strive to have more children.
Li Su planned to wait in the sect until the refining room completed crafting his magic tool before leaving the Flying Immortal Sect.
During his stay, Li Su received several visits from fellow disciples of the sect.
“Brother Li, I never expected you to achieve Foundation Establishment. I fear I will never be able to attain it in my lifetime.” That evening, a female cultivator visited Li Su.
Female cultivators were scarce in the Flying Immortal Sect, and she was one of the ones introduced by Li Su. She held a fondness for him.
Although her spiritual roots were superior to Li Su’s, they were still limited, and she could not access many valuable resources. Hence, the possibility of her achieving a Foundation Establishment in her lifetime was very low.
