Chapter 16: Immortal Women Are Going to Be Swooned by Him
“The ancestor of the Li family is once again taking in an immortal!”
“This time, it is said to be an immortal from the eastern region, and her family members are also immortals.”
“… ”
In the bustling city of Luo, people were excited as they witnessed the grand wedding procession. Numerous spectators poured out onto the streets to join in the festivity.
In Luo City, the act of the Li family’s ancestor taking concubines was already a lively event. In recent years, alongside the concubines, the ancestor had also started accepting immortals occasionally.
It had become a popular story in the surrounding areas of Luo City. Banquets were spread out miles around the Li residence, and the celebrations were in full swing.
This time, Li Su, a strong man in the later stage of foundation establishment, was marrying an immortal from a relatively powerful cultivation family. The family hailed from the eastern province of Wu Kingdom and boasted three generations of descendants. Although the first generation of the family had emerged from the immortal gate, their later generations did not possess exceptional spiritual roots, preventing them from rejoining the immortal sect.
While this cultivation family maintained some connections with the disciples of the immortal sect, over time, those disciples either got eliminated or advanced further in their cultivation, making it impossible for them to establish a foothold.
To ensure the stability of their family, they approached Li Su, known for his fondness for taking concubines. Being relatives with Li Su, a formidable cultivator in the later stage of foundation establishment, would bring stability to their family.
Coincidentally, the youngest nun from the family’s third generation had developed a deep liking for Li Su after meeting him. So, this marriage had been fixed.
Accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, the welcoming procession entered the Li Mansion. Following the ceremony, the bride was led to the bridal chamber. Li Su stepped in, gazing at the beauty before him. Li Su was stunned.
After the visit from the cultivation family in the Eastern province, Li Su successfully established a marital bond with them.
This news of Li Su spread throughout the Wu Kingdom’s world of cultivating immortals, capturing the attention of many.
In the past, news about monks in the Foundation Establishment Period would not have garnered such widespread interest. However, Li Su was different.
Having established his foundation at the age of one hundred, he had reached the late stage of foundation establishment within a mere dozen years. He had also participated in two casual practice gatherings, earning a favorable reputation among fellow cultivators.
During these gatherings, several beautiful and talented female cultivators had even presented him with tokens of affection, adding to the romantic tales surrounding him. This made Li Su’s story particularly remarkable, drawing attention from all quarters.
“Xiaoxia, although you’re still young, your spiritual roots are just about in the ninth grade. Joining the Immortal Sect has become quite challenging with their new requirements. It is said that several female cultivators who married the Patriarch of the Li family have made remarkable progress in their cultivation. If you were to marry him, you would undoubtedly achieve even greater heights.”
“You haven’t met the Li family’s ancestor, but his exceptional nature is well-known. If I hadn’t married your father, I would have been tempted myself.” Within a cultivating family, a couple was persuading their young daughter.
While she was in her twenties, which would typically be considered a young age for an ordinary person, for a cultivator, a female cultivator in her twenties was still considered young.
The age of cultivators did not matter if they held strong spiritual powers. For instance, the head of the Flying Immortal Sect had lived for hundreds of years, yet their physical condition surpassed that of an 18-year-old girl.
Under her parents’ persuasion, the young female cultivator finally decided to visit the Li family. Before long, her parents brought her to the Li Mansion, where she met Li Su.
“Senior.”
Her parents eagerly greeted him.
“Is he the Li family’s ancestor?”
The nun was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that the young, handsome man emanating such a strong aura of masculinity would be the rumored patriarch of the Li family.
He was completely different from her imagination. Merely seeing him caused her heart to race. Any subconscious resistance she had held in her heart had vanished without a trace.
“Please have a seat,” Li Su said.
Li Su had already engaged in a warm conversation with her parents. The female cultivator sat there, playing with the edges of her clothes, occasionally stealing glances at Li Su. Her heart was filled with thoughts of him.
And then, a mere three months later, the Li Mansion’s welcoming procession set off once again.
“The Li family’s ancestor taking in an immortal once more!”
“This is the third one this year.”
“At this rate, he will take all the immortals in our Wu Kingdom!”
“…”
In the city of Luo, people began to watch the lively scene again. Some poor families were happy because they could have a good banquet again.
