WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 110

Chapter 110

The innkeeper immediately suspected it was Li Su but refrained from voicing his suspicions. Crossing a Nascent Soul cultivator was unwise. Hastily, he instructed his staff to guard the area beneath the room with the ‘heaven’ sign, preventing inquisitive cultivators from ascending and disturbing Li Su.

“Master, it might take a few more days. If you have other matters, please attend to them.”

“Don’t worry, Li Su. I’ll wait here for you.”

“Alright, then, assist me in purifying the herbs with your spiritual energy. Silent Moon, handle that stack.”

Li Su began to delegate tasks, and the sect leader’s aunt assisted. With three people helping, the process became considerably faster. Given Li Su’s current alchemical skills, he was highly efficient. After a relentless week of work, Li Su refined many pills without taking a break.

Among these pills, the Nascent Soul Pill held the highest value, but the others were also valuable for Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators. Li Su had previously prepared various pills, all ready for sale. After completing the alchemical process, Li Su collected the pills.

“Elder, rest assured, we’ll handle these pills with care. There won’t be any issues.”

Soon, Li Su found shops willing to serve as intermediaries to sell his pills, offering them a 5% commission. He didn’t worry about potential deceit. His strength was the ultimate guarantee. As expected, these pills triggered a buying frenzy when they hit the market. While the Northern Region wasn’t as tightly controlled by the Seven Great Sects as the Immortal’s Peak, opportunities existed for other cultivators to prosper. Many cultivators had spirit stones but struggled to find high-quality pills due to the limited number of alchemists and high demand.

Particularly, the Nascent Soul Pills incited Core Formation cultivators into a frenzy, coinciding with the Ascension Grand Conference, attracting many Core Formation cultivators from Immortal’s Peak. The Nascent Soul Pills were sold through a quasi-auction system, fetching incredibly high prices. Considering their minimal production cost, the profits were astonishing. Within a day, all the pills were sold out. After deducting expenses, Li Su had earned nearly a hundred thousand spirit stones.

These were large spirit stones, each the size of a soap bar and each worth over twenty regular spirit stones used by the Flying Immortal Sect. In the Flying Immortal Sect’s currency, it equated to over two million spirit stones. Li Su’s stash of spirit stones had significantly expanded, astonishing both the Holy Maiden of the Moonlight Sect and the sect leader.

“Haha, I’ve struck gold,” Li Su said with a smile. Alchemists had the potential to earn numerous spirit stones, but not everyone could achieve the same level of success as Li Su. Moreover, he had sold all the prepared pills to achieve this profit level. For the cultivators in Linxian City, this was their first experience with such a situation, and they were eager to buy. If this demand continues, the prices of these pills might not remain as high in the future. The relationship between supply and demand determines the price.

The most expensive pills this time were the Nascent Soul Pills, but if they were readily available, their value would decrease, and fewer people would buy them. Many cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage couldn’t see the hope of advancing to Nascent Soul, so they might not be interested in purchasing the Nascent Soul Pills. However, there were still plenty of cultivators in the Northern Region, so Li Su could continue operating if he needed more spirit stones.

Following this successful venture, the Ascension Grand Conference was approaching, and Li Su began purchasing necessary items in bulk, buying whatever was available first and worrying about the rest later. Materials for crafting tools were particularly easy to acquire because no major sects in the Northern Region specialized in tool refinement, and bulk procurement wasn’t common.

The sect leader’s aunt grew increasingly curious about Li Su. She had a hunch that the sect leader’s attitude towards him was not ordinary. Two days passed quickly, and the Ascension Grand Conference began on the third day. Linxian City buzzed with excitement. To the east of Linxian City, atop a massive cliff, there was a vast square, much larger than the Immortal’s Peak, packed with countless cultivators.

Li Su gathered information about the Ascension Grand Conference in the past few days. This event offered Northern Region cultivators a chance to undergo trials, and those who passed could join one of the Seven Great Sects. The tests focused on bone age and cultivation level rather than spiritual roots.

In other words, even if your spiritual roots were considered poor, achieving a cultivation level far beyond your peers at a certain age demonstrated excellent luck and opportunities, making the Seven Great Sects willing to accept such individuals. Additionally, it served as a gathering for the Seven Great Sects to discuss various matters, including resource allocation. In short, it was a significant event in the Northern Region.

The sect leader appeared to want to maintain a low profile, and Li Su refrained from offering advice despite his belief that she didn’t need to be so discreet, given her family’s presence. Her aunt was still with them. For some reason, Li Su sensed the sect leader’s aunt was observing him with a scrutinizing gaze, but he didn’t mind and even saw it as a positive sign—a form of meeting the family. After nurturing their relationship further, they could progress to the next stage.

“Dang”

The Ascension Grand Conference had officially begun. Seven splendid flying boats appeared in the sky, representing the Seven Great Sects. The airspace here was restricted for others, but key figures from the Seven Great Sects could fly freely.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Ascension Grand Conference is now underway…”

Li Su recognized a familiar face among the representatives. It was Bi Luo from the Azure Mist Sect, situated on one of the flying boats. Sensing Li Su’s gaze, Bi Luo instinctively spotted him in the crowd.

“It’s him!”

A bright smile graced her charming face.
