Chapter 41: Sect Leader, look at my Golden Pill is big and round
“Hiss~”
At the entrance of the Flying Immortal Sect, there was a sound of gasps. In the astonished eyes of the disciples on duty, Li Su had already walked towards the depths of the sect.
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Li to achieve the Golden Core stage!”
“Yeah, it’s so fast. Wasn’t it just fifty years ago that he established his foundation?”
“Building a foundation at a hundred years old and achieving the Golden Core stage at over a hundred and fifty years old, it’s simply unbelievable!”
“This is the legendary result of accumulated efforts!”
After Li Su left, the disciples at the entrance of the sect were discussing in awe. They were both amazed and envious that Li Su had reached the Golden Core stage.
Except for one disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage, all the disciples here were in the Qi Refining stage. It was unlikely for an elder in the Golden Core stage to come and guard the entrance.
There was a powerful array outside, so even if it was an enemy, they could not break through so quickly without fully activating the array. It would give the Flying Immortal Sect enough time to respond. Therefore, a disciple guarding the entrance in the Foundation Establishment stage was sufficient. It was too low to be compared.
These Qi Refining stage disciples were still uncertain about whether they would be able to establish their foundation. And Li Su had reached the Golden Core stage. Not only did his cultivation level advance significantly, but his lifespan also doubled compared to the foundation establishment period.
How could anyone not be envious of this? Even the disciple in the later stage of the foundation establishment was envious. He regretted being dumbfounded earlier and not having the chance to congratulate Li Su. He promised to congratulate and please Li Su properly when he left the Flying Immortal Sect.
Senior Brother Li will probably become an elder, the disciple in the later stage of foundation establishment thought.
In the Flying Immortal Sect, the elders were all cultivators in the Golden Core stage. Of course, there was still a significant difference among Golden Core cultivators between the early, middle, and late stages.
The disparity between the first, second, and third levels of the Golden Core stage was also immense. But with Li Su’s breakthrough into the Golden Core stage, he was likely to become an elder and reach a new level.
Soon, Li Su arrived at the main hall. Along the way, he encountered some disciples in the Qi Refining stage. Since the news hadn’t spread yet, these disciples couldn’t accurately perceive Li Su’s changes.
Everyone felt that Li Su had changed significantly, giving them the feeling of looking up to an elder. However, they didn’t dare to make bold speculations like the disciples in the foundation establishment period.
“Please inform the Sect Leader that I ‘Li Su’ have come to pay my respects.” Li Su said to a female disciple on duty in the main hall.
The Sect Leader should be at the back mountain. The female disciple went to deliver the message.
“Senior… Senior Brother, have you reached the Golden Core stage?” Su Yun, who arrived after a while, asked, noticing Li Su’s changes.
Li Su smiled and replied, “Yes, Junior Sister.”
Su Yun’s expression became interesting because it was evident that she was genuinely happy upon hearing the news. It was her immediate reaction to feel joy for Li Su.
But after her happiness, Su Yun remembered the bet between Li Su and the Sect Leader. Li Su had won… Did that mean he would marry her?
Even if he had lost, he would still have to marry her!
This made the charming junior sister feel both shy and happy, making her even more endearing to others.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother!”
After a while, Su Yun overcame her shyness and congratulated Li Su.
“Are you at the Golden Core stage?” A voice rang out as the Sect Leader had arrived.
Li Su turned his head and saw the Sect Leader, dressed in white, not far away.
She had already confirmed Li Su’s stage from his aura. The Sect Leader’s gaze was bright, clearly showing surprise.
She hadn’t expected Li Su to reach the Golden Core stage so quickly! They still had over a year until the bet between them. During the past five years, the Sect Leader had wondered where Li Su’s confidence came from.
She was anticipating the moment when the five-year period would be over. But she never expected to see Li Su so soon, and on top of that, he had already broken through to the Golden Core stage!
After a while, in the main hall of the Flying Immortal Sect, the voice of the Sect Leader resonated. Although she had great confidence in Li Su, she decided to test him to ensure he hadn’t taken any shortcuts like a demon cultivator. Once confirmed, the Sect Leader’s gaze revealed an appreciative expression.
Her eyes wandered over Li Su’s figure, taking in his presence. Since Li Su reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 100, he had consistently surpassed expectations over the past 50 years. However, this time, his progress had surprised even the Sect Leader. On the sidelines, Su Yun blushed, perhaps thinking about something significant.
Finally, the Sect Leader averted her gaze, and with a slight raise of her head, she handed Li Su a vial. “The pills inside should be beneficial to you. Consume them sparingly, as these elixirs are not easy to refine,” the Sect Leader advised.
Li Su expressed gratitude, not bringing up the bet they had made. He trusted that the Sect Leader wouldn’t go back on her word.
“Take your time to consolidate your cultivation. As for your marriage to Su Yun… once you have stabilized your cultivation, we can choose an auspicious day for the ceremony. Regarding the other matters…follow your plan, as you suggested. However, cultivating at the Golden Core stage is challenging, so it would be best if…” the Sect Leader began, attempting to persuade Li Su.
But halfway through, the Sect Leader paused and let out a rare sigh. She seemed disappointed with Li Su’s eagerness to rush things, considering he had reached the Golden Core stage so quickly. She might have wished for him to focus on cultivation.
“Sect Leader, Junior Sister, I don’t need further consolidation. I am planning to discuss this with both of you. Three months from now, I would like to marry Junior Sister. Would that be possible?” Li Su hurriedly interjected, aware of his urgency. Striking while the iron was hot was crucial. Otherwise, the wedding might be delayed indefinitely.
Moreover, since Su Yun was still young, having one or two children with her wouldn’t hinder her future cultivation.
“Do you not require consolidation? Is your Golden Core ranked above the sixth grade?” the Sect Leader inquired, seeking clarification.
After some consideration, Li Su displayed his Golden Core, reaping several benefits. First, it would dispel any doubts the Sect Leader might have and prevent her from suspecting that he had deviated from the right path. Second, it would make the Sect Leader aware of his capabilities, so she wouldn’t worry or attempt to sever his worldly ties in the future.
It was somewhat risky for a Golden Core cultivator to exhibit its core. Normally, only desperate cultivators would resort to such a measure. However, Li Su completely trusted the Sect Leader, so he spat out his Golden Core without hesitation.
The moment the Golden Pill emerged, the entire hall trembled. The Sect Leader’s gaze fixated on the Golden Core, and her expression gradually transformed.
“Sect Leader, as you can see, my Golden Core is large and perfectly round. It should…be of first-grade quality!” Li Su proudly declared.
