Chapter 264
The Peak Master Dieyun had been contemplating Li Su’s proposal for recruitnt for so ti, and her position had been evolving.
Initially, she felt confident, considering the Returning Origin Sect’s esteed status as a top-tier immortal sect. Even if the Tianluo Sect Leader pursued an unconventional path, Peak Master Dieyun wasn’t overly concerned.
However, as Li Su continued to grow and demonstrated his impressive abilities, particularly after the battle at Mangkang Mountain, Peak Master Dieyun’s confidence began to waver. Moreover, when Li Su later crafted a high-quality magical artifact for her, showcasing remarkable expertise in refining, it further eroded her confidence.
Being the sole top-tier immortal sect in the Canglan Realm, Peak Master Dieyun initially had reservations about resorting to unconventional thods. Nevertheless, over ti, her confidence dwindled further. Later, she realised that so of her talented female disciples held a favourable opinion of Li Su. During Li Su’s last visit to the Returning Origin Sect to create a top-tier magical artifact for Peak Master Dieyun, even the exceptionally gifted disciple with a first-rank spirit root, Tiantian, did not isolate herself. Tiantian appeared outside the refining room on multiple occasions. Consequently, Peak Master Dieyun approached Tiantian for her opinion.
When Tiantian blushed and stamred, unable to speak but not refusing, and eventually agreed to Peak Master Dieyun’s arrangent, that was when the leader conceived the current recruitnt plan. If Tiantian had explicitly declined, she would not have pursued this plan.
Her original intention was to invite Li Su into the sect and have him accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the Returning Origin Sect once they erged from seclusion. Simultaneously, she aid to arrange a marriage between Tiantian and Li Su, as Li Su appeared anable to having concubine children and producing exceptional descendants. A genius with a first-rank spirit root who also had so affection for Li Su should, in Peak Master Dieyun’s view, be a willing match.
However, this ti, she witnessed Li Su, who was already remarkable, unexpectedly breaking through the Refinent stage and exhibiting robust physical cultivation. This left Peak Master Dieyun greatly astonished.
Subsequently, she felt that her previous plan might not be as appealing to Li Su, and he might not agree to it. So, she adjusted her plan. She decided first to establish a connection between Li Su and the Returning Origin Sect. This way, Li Su wouldn’t be bound by anything, maintaining his freedom and enjoying the privileges of being an elder. Furthermore, Li Su could also marry a genius with a first-rank spirit root. This arrangent could benefit both parties.
Peak Master Dieyun was looking at Li Su’s future potential. If Li Su were indeed a reincarnated immortal, the Returning Origin Sect would be willing to marshal the full power of the sect to protect and support him. Indeed, not just the Returning Origin Sect, even the Sacred Sect would eagerly offer support once they confird the possibility of Li Su being a reincarnated immortal.
Even if he wasn’t a reincarnated immortal, given Li Su’s exceptional talent, his future success was practically guaranteed. Li Su’s kindness and consideration, even towards his mortal concubines, showcased him as a compassionate and honourable person. He was compassionate to his own but resolute against his enemies, which also left a strong impression on Peak Master Dieyun.
For the Returning Origin Sect, forming a positive relationship now could alter the sect’s fate in the future if Li Su indeed developed into a prominent figure. They could strengthen their ties based on the circumstances. Currently, the Returning Origin Sect served as a protective shelter for Li Su, and trying to eliminate a genius like him never crossed Peak Master Dieyun’s mind.
She wouldn’t entertain such thoughts as long as there were no initial hostilities. Many cultivators had their principles and unwavering moral compass. Even if they seed distant to others, they often proved reliable and steadfast in their commitnts.
This was similar to the cultivator from the Bai family on Immortal Isolation Peak, who had been very welcoming to wandering cultivators, but his true intentions were deceitful. This was precisely why Peak Master Dieyun had devised this plan.
After explaining, her gaze fell on Li Su’s face. Tiantian’s cheeks had turned bright red, and she kept her head lowered, unable to et Li Su’s gaze. Her shy deanour was indeed remarkably charming. The Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect, not far away, alternated his gaze between Tiantian and Li Su, his thoughts unclear.
Li Su shifted his gaze from Tiantian to Peak Master Dieyun. “Leader, is Tiantian willing?” Li Su inquired.
Peak Master Dieyun responded, “She is willing.”
Li Su then turned his gaze back to Tiantian. “Tiantian, are you willing?” Tiantian’s face grew redder, and she was too nervous to look at Li Su. After a while, she nodded gently. Li Su withdrew his gaze and looked at Peak Master Dieyun.
Li Su accepted the leader’s plan, and Peak Master Dieyun was pleased. As for Li Su’s subsequent question, Peak Master Dieyun did not deny it. “Yes, Li Su, I’ve been stuck at this bottleneck for thousands of years, unable to break through.” Afterwards, Peak Master Dieyun sighed.
Li Su contemplated for a mont and then produced a pill. “After you return, please try it to see if there is any effect. If it works, you can co to find ,” Li Su suggested. This elixir was his latest creation, developed after researching his bottleneck. He wasn’t entirely sure if it would benefit Peak Master of the Dieyun, but it would be advantageous if it did. It would allow Li Su to further research Peak Master’s bottleneck and experint with the spiritual herbs and elixirs from the Returning Origin Sect. Suppose the elixir he created could resolve Peak Master’s bottleneck. In that case, Li Su would no longer need to worry about the cultivation resources for his won and the future generation of talented disciples. Such an elixir is very valuable.
Nurous cultivators were likely to compete to obtain this elixir, and the demand for cultivation resources would continue to grow in the future. Li Su’s exceptional descendants were consistently advancing in their cultivation, and the number and strength of his won were also on the rise. Therefore, Li Su needed to make early preparations for these developnts.
Peak Master of the Dieyun showed interest when Li Su presented the elixir, and she intended to test it in seclusion. She trusted it because Li Su concocted it and had heard positive comnts about his alchemical expertise from Northern Realm cultivators. Peak Master had high expectations for Li Su due to his previous extraordinary feats.
However, while discussing details with Li Su, she wanted to broach the topic of Tiantian becoming a legitimate wife but couldn’t bring herself to ask. Li Su had taken in nurous concubines, including a Nascent Soul cultivator and individuals with exceptional bloodlines. Given Li Su’s current status as a Nascent Soul cultivator and the possibility of him being a reincarnated immortal, it wasn’t realistic for Tiantian to beco a legitimate wife.
Growing up was crucial, as it allowed individuals to progress beyond the title of genius. Therefore, Peak Master of the Dieyun decided not to discuss the topic.
The news of Li Su’s upcoming wedding with the first-class spiritual root genius from the Returning Origin Sect spread throughout the Canglan Realm, surprising many cultivators. Tiantian’s reputation had already reached other realms, and her exceptional beauty had made her known as the most beautiful woman among the younger generation in the Central Realm. As a first-class spiritual root genius, she had garnered significant attention. The news of her marrying Li Su was astonishing, considering Li Su’s reputation for taking in concubines.
The news also led to discussions among cultivators who wondered about Tiantian’s willingness to marry Li Su and the reasons behind the Returning Origin Sect’s agreent. The news about Li Su reaching the Nascent Soul stage caused even greater shock, as his rapid progression was unprecedented. The speed at which this news spread was remarkable, with various information-gathering organisations disseminating it.
