Chapter 17 Invitation Letters From Various Families
The whole scene was in an uproar.
Su Chen won!
Li Sanjin's small eyes were filled with confusion.
Could it be that there's something wrong with my knowledge of Daoist arts?
There is a decisive gap between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Building stage.
The difference in their strength is like a huge chasm.
"No, I have to go back and study again. What is going on?" Li Sanjin muttered.
On the competition stage, although Zhao Zhiming's face was unwilling, as a talented sword cultivator from the Zhao family, he could afford to lose and let it go.
He stood up, held his sword, and bowed with a solemn voice.
"I lost!"
Su Chen smiled, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.
A sweet and bloody taste lingered in his throat.
Zhao Zhiming's strength was still too formidable.
Liu Lingyu flew down from the stands and came to Su Chen's side.
Zhao Zhiming looked at Liu Lingyu with a complicated expression and said, "Your chosen partner is quite good!"
"Naturally," Liu Lingyu replied with a smile.
After speaking, she supported Su Chen and left the stage.
On the stands, the three clan leaders asked Liu Huaiyi one after another.
"Liu Clan Leader, which prestigious family does Lingyu come from? Does she have a background?"
Liu Huaiyi blew his mustache and glared.
"What, do you want to snatch her? Impossible! She is my son-in-law from the Liu family."
"Oh, Old Liu, you were just thinking that Lingyu's partner only had the strength of the Qi Refining stage, and your face didn't look good."
"That's because I was afraid he would become arrogant!"
Liu Huaiyi shouted loudly. A real man can bend and stretch, so this is a small matter.
Next, the competition ended, and the cultivators looked at Su Chen and Liu Lingyu, the divine couple, as they left the stage, their eyes filled with envy.
"Su Chen, your talent is truly extraordinary," Liu Lingyu exclaimed.
Liu Lingyu had never seen someone who could break through two realms at once, let alone challenge higher realms and win.
"No wonder the senior sisters in the sect are so infatuated with you."
As she spoke, Liu Lingyu's cheeks turned red.
In the main hall, Su Chen and Liu Lingyu were preparing to bid farewell and continue their cultivation at the Veiled Spirit Sect.
Liu Huaiyi was full of joy.
This trial by combat had brought great honor to the Liu family. Not only was Liu Lingyu outstanding, but her partner was also a young and talented genius. This news spread like wildfire among the major cultivation families.
"Su Chen, you must come to our house often. If Lingyu misses home, you should accompany her back."
"When you come back next time, bring my grandson with you!"
"Father!"
Liu Lingyu's cheeks turned red.
Su Chen chuckled.
Liu Yang stepped forward.
"Sister Lingyu has brought us so many surprises this time. I also plan to go out and cultivate in the future."
After speaking, he looked at Su Chen.
"But you must take good care of my sister."
Su Chen nodded. Liu Yang wasn't bad, but as the eldest son, he wasn't as strong as Liu Lingyu. He might feel a little frustrated.
"Liu Yang, I've seen your Daoist arts. Maybe it's because you're too impatient, you can't bring out the gentle feeling of the Flowing Water Art. Perhaps if you cultivate your state of mind, you'll gain unexpected rewards."
Liu Yang widened his eyes, seemingly pondering something.
After a few breaths, he suddenly realized.
Then, Liu Yang bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, brother-in-law!"
Su Chen's gaze turned to Liu Lingzhi, but Liu Lingzhi avoided his gaze and dared not look at Su Chen.
"Younger sister, sometimes it's better to spend time on cultivation," Su Chen said.
"You!"
Liu Lingzhi naturally understood what Su Chen meant and showed a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Yeah, just look at you, always wearing heavy makeup, not even half as pretty as your sister. You should focus on self-improvement instead. Ugly girls should read more books!" Liu Huaiyi said.
Liu Lingzhi felt ashamed and resentful, casting a resentful glance at Su Chen.
Su Chen, on the other hand, didn't care at all. He found this woman disgusting and had no good impression of her.
The two of them left the Liu family and headed towards the Veiled Spirit Sect.
However, when they were about ten miles away, a group of cultivators suddenly emerged from the dense forest.
Su Chen's expression turned serious. Could these people be here to rob them?
To their surprise, the head of the Wang family walked out of the forest.
"Fellow Daoist Su Chen, luckily we caught up," he said.
"I came here this time with no other intention but to recruit Fellow Daoist Su Chen to join our Wang family's cultivators. We will definitely offer the best immortal pills to assist you in your cultivation."
This offer was indeed tempting.
Su Chen knew very well the benefits of immortal pills in cultivation. Some pills could even reset a person's spiritual roots.
"Old Wang, you're trying to get ahead of everyone!" Su Chen said.
"You're not being fair, trying to poach people from the Liu family!"
As he spoke, the head of the Li family also walked out from the side.
"Fellow Daoist Su Chen, we can also provide you with these things in the Li family. Moreover, we have the means of Body Tempering, which can make your strength even stronger."
"To show our sincerity, let me give you a little gift."
With that, the head of the Li family took out a pill. The pill was pale yellow in color, filled with spiritual energy. It was actually a Marrow Cleansing Pill!
This Marrow Cleansing Pill was a priceless treasure that many cultivators coveted. Only families like the Wang and Li families, who were prominent in the world of cultivation, had the ability to produce such pills.
"Old Li, you've really spared no expense!" Su Chen said.
Not far away, a figure flew over on a sword.
It was the head of the Zhao family.
"Fellow Daoist Su Chen, if you join my Zhao family, we can provide you with top-notch sword cultivation techniques. You will definitely experience a great improvement."
Su Chen's face slightly changed.
Such treatment!
"Please join my sect, Fellow Daoist Su Chen!" The three family heads said in unison.
Su Chen was a bit hesitant. The conditions offered by these three prominent cultivation families were all very tempting, making it difficult for him to decide.
He glanced at Liu Lingyu.
Liu Lingyu whispered softly, "You make the decision yourself!"
Su Chen pondered for a moment.
Then, he took a step forward and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you for the generous offers, but I currently have no intention of joining any sect or family."
The three family heads showed disappointment.
Liu Lingyu, on the other hand, looked surprised.
The conditions offered by the three prominent families were so tempting, yet Su Chen refused?
That Marrow Cleansing Pill was a precious treasure even to Liu Lingyu!
Seeing that their recruitment efforts were in vain, the three family heads quickly left with their disciples.
Liu Lingyu walked up to Su Chen and curiously asked, "Why did you refuse those people?"
"I have no intention of joining any sect or family," Su Chen replied.
Su Chen wasn't stupid. His current talent and strength were all given by the system.
How could he give up the opportunity to become a unique cultivator and join other sects?
Besides...
Su Chen paused and continued, "I want to establish my own sect."
Liu Lingyu was even more surprised.
"Establish your own sect?"
Su Chen nodded.
All the disciples of this sect would be his children.
"At that time, you and my child will be among them."
Liu Lingyu's cheeks turned red.
She glared at Su Chen.
"Who said I want to have a child with you!"
Su Chen chuckled.
"With the amount of time we spend together now, having a child will happen quickly."
