Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

“Namming, you and your group should take these pills.”

“Yes, Father.”

In Li’s mansion, Li Su called several elderly children and gave them longevity pills. Each of these children was over a hundred years old. They were also primarily responsible for managing the Li family, allowing Li Su to not worry about family matters.

The Li family had also grown increasingly powerful, rivaling even the royal family in the Wu Kingdom. They were even more superior to the royal family.

Among the Li family’s descendants, some hoped for the Li family to replace the royal family, and some descendants used the Li family’s influence to enter the court.

However, Li Su was not interested in this. Managing a country was too burdensome, and if the current Li family were to replace the royal family, there would be too much to handle. The current Li family could not handle it. Unless Li Su personally took charge, he did not want to be burdened with such responsibilities.

Over the years, more time had passed, and Li Su’s new fairy consorts had given birth to offspring for him. Li Su now had 40 descendants with spiritual roots.

Most of the fairies Li Su had taken in did not possess exceptional spiritual roots. It might be different if it were someone like Su Yun, a genius with a fifth-grade spiritual root.

Li Su was unsure about the specific details, as he had not yet tried it. After reaching 40 disciples, Li Su was rewarded with an additional 100 years of cultivation.

To achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, the descendants with spiritual roots needed to exceed 100, or the number of Li Su’s descendants needed to surpass 100,000. At that point, there would be a significant change.

Reaching the Golden Core stage would increase the demand for cultivation, given Li Su’s level of spiritual roots. However, Li Su had not yet figured out the issue of cultivation techniques.

The rewards from the system did not involve any specific techniques, and Li Su was uncertain which technique served as the benchmark. Li Su was unable to choose. He wondered if there would be changes after reaching the Golden Core stage.

Li Su could feel that his true essence was becoming stronger, and the completion of the foundation establishment was drawing closer.

Foundation Establishment Completion was not a realm but a critical point.

After reaching the peak of foundation establishment, cultivators continued to enhance their true essence. When the true essence accumulated to its limit, it signified the completion of the foundation establishment. At that point, they could strive to reach the Golden Core stage.

Li Su felt that perhaps due to his poor spiritual roots, his requirements for reaching Foundation Establishment Completion were higher than others.

They could only live for around 200 years for other foundation-building stages and must reach the Golden Core stage within that time. However, from the beginning until now, Li Su had obtained thousands of years of cultivation from the system.

Although his spiritual roots were lacking, it made his foundation more stable. Li Su saw hope and focused on procreation. From time to time, he accepted a new fairy consort.

Overall, the Three Great Immortal Gates were relatively calm. Cultivators were immersed in their practice, seeking to break through to higher realms. The secular world was often more exciting.

A single cultivation retreat could last several years or even decades for cultivators.

However, those ten or more years of experience were incredibly enriching for ordinary people and could change a lifetime. For most people, the most exciting time in their lives was only a decade or so. After that period, life tends to become more peaceful.

Marriage, having children, and then the repetitive daily routines. Although each day held its own highlights, it could feel monotonous over time.

Therefore, many people envy “immortals” without realizing that the life of an “immortal” was more monotonous than that of an ordinary person. Cultivation consumed the majority of their time. Li Su might be an exception.

After a few more years, the Li family’s population finally exceeded 50,000. On this day, Li Su stood up after absorbing the reward of 100 years of cultivation.

The ever-increasing population had provided Li Su with ample cultivation, and with the additional 100 years of cultivation, Li Su had finally completed his foundation establishment!

He had reached the critical point to break through to the Golden Core stage.

At this point, Li Su had a new question.

Should he attempt to reach the Golden Core stage himself, or should he wait for the system’s reward?
