Chapter 30: Getting Closer to the golden core period
After publicly enforcing the Family Law, the Li family also announced several measures. Among them, the most effective measure was the establishment of numerous reporting mailboxes in selected cities.
If any descendants of the Li family engaged in wrongdoing, people could report them through these mailboxes. The family’s law enforcement team would then investigate the reports as a deterrent.
Li Su desired a strong family with a noble family tradition, not one that engaged in unruly behavior.
Although he intended to leverage the benefits of the “many children, many blessings” system, which would inevitably result in an increasing number of descendants, Li Su didn’t just focus on procreation but also on education.
His offspring would receive a quality education, and the outstanding ones would receive more attention. Li Su would also find ways to extend their lifespan.
Before Li Su reached the age of 100 and established his foundation, he had limited status, power, and rewards from the system, making it challenging to prolong his life.
However, there were many methods available. For each concubine he took, Li Su would receive a life-extending pill as a reward, and he had the authority to distribute these pills.
Some young female cultivators didn’t need the life-extending pills immediately, so Li Su would prioritize giving them to capable individuals who could effectively manage the family’s descendants.
Li Su believed that once he had more than 30 descendants with spiritual roots, they might gain 100 years of alchemy experience. At that point, he could try alchemy himself.
Of course, the most critical aspect of alchemy was the herbs. To that end, Li Su selected a specific area and set up a Spiritual Gathering Formation. He also obtained some seeds from the Flying Immortal Sect and cultivated medicinal herbs.
However, where the Li Mansion was located had less spiritual energy than the three major immortal sects. Although the Spiritual Gathering Formation could provide a short-term boost, it was still limited.
Nevertheless, Li Su could use spiritual stones to enhance the concentration of spiritual energy. These endeavors required time, but Li Su only devoted his spare time to them, ensuring he didn’t waste too much time and energy.
As Li Su continued to recruit female cultivators, the number of his descendants with spiritual roots increased.
Furthermore, among Li Su’s offspring, there were descendants who had their own children, resulting in descendants with spiritual roots.
The number of Li Su’s descendants continued to grow, branching out from generation to generation, steadily increasing. This growth also enhanced Li Su’s own spiritual roots.
In just nine years, the number of Li Su’s descendants with spiritual roots surpassed 30, confirming his speculation.
Among the rewards, there indeed was 100 years of alchemy experience. Li Su returned to the Flying Immortal Sect and used his contribution points to exchange for some herbs. He tried alchemy using one of the furnaces available.
He successfully produced Qi Gathering Pills. These pills primarily targeted cultivators in the Qi refining period, and Li Su achieved a relatively high success rate, exceeding 80%. This was already an exceptional success rate.
“Senior Brother Li, your success rate is remarkably high. I never expected you to be skilled in alchemy!”
An alchemy room disciple was astonished upon seeing the Qi Gathering Pills Li Su had refined.
“I studied it in my spare time,” Li Su replied.
Armed with these Qi Gathering Pills, Li Su left the Flying Immortal Sect, intending to distribute them among the female cultivators.
As for the life-extending pills required valuable and scarce herbs, so he didn’t exchange them at the moment.
“It seems I’m still a few hundred years away from reaching the next stage.”
Li Su realized that even though his spiritual roots had been strengthened, he was only a few hundred years away from breaking into the Golden Core stage.
He was getting closer! Li Su saw a glimmer of hope. He was gradually approaching the Golden Core stage!
