Chapter 43: Is it okay to have ten children?
“Dang~”
The sound of a long bell echoed.
Inside the Flying Immortal Sect, it was incredibly lively. Apart from the other two major sects, there were also some renowned casual cultivators who were invited. This celebration was much grander in scale compared to the elder coronation ceremony three months ago.
According to the Sect Leader’s plan, the festivities would come first, followed by the wedding proceedings. For the Flying Immortal Sect, it was a double joyous occasion.
Li Su marrying Su Yun also garnered envy from many cultivators. Su Yun had excellent aptitude and was the Sect Leader’s direct disciple. Moreover, she was as beautiful as a fairy. How could people not be envious?
Many disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect had initially thought that Su Yun would never marry, but they never expected her to marry Li Su at such a young age. Although there was the factor of the Sect Leader arranging the marriage, Su Yun was also willing.
If Su Yun had no affection for Li Su, the Sect Leader wouldn’t have brought it up. This also demonstrated Li Su’s great charm. He made Su Yun, who was young and had a high chance of breaking through the Golden Core stage, willingly marry him.
This celebration was indeed lively. Li Su also got to know many cultivators from the other two sects. One of these sects was the Blazing Sun Sect from the Four Qi Kingdoms. The other one was the Seven Star Valley from the Northern Yan Kingdom.
The Blazing Sun Sect focused on fire-based cultivation techniques and excelled in using fire-based spells. On the other hand, the Seven Star Valley focused on ice-based cultivation techniques. Their true energy contained a cold aura, and they excelled in using ice-based spells. These sects sent elders to the ceremony and brought along many cultivators.
Li Su’s celebration also allowed cultivators from the three sects to interact. Although the three sects competed and fought over resources, they maintained a certain restraint level.
The celebration seamlessly transitioned into the wedding ceremony.
Su Yun, adorned with a phoenix coronet and robe, gracefully boarded the bridal sedan chair with a red veil covering her head. The sedan chair was modified from a flying boat, with the large red sedan placed on top of it. Several other large red flying boats followed behind, carrying the dowry. The Sect Leader prepared these dowries for Su Yun.
Since Su Yun was an orphan brought back to the Flying Immortal Sect by the Sect Leader, the Sect was like her family. Therefore, many Flying Immortal Sect disciples escorted them behind these flying boats.
“They’re here. They’re here.”
“What a grand procession.”
“No wonder the Li family’s ancestors have been immortal for thousands of years. It is said that the fairy Li Su is marrying this time is especially powerful.”
“You mean a Golden Core Immortal, not a Millennium Immortal.”
“…”
The area around Li Mansion was already packed with people. The banquets for this celebration were arranged for dozens of miles. Even the emperor of the Wu Kingdom personally brought a large number of ministers also, including other dignitaries and wealthy families.
The Li Mansion also prepared thousands of banquet tables for impoverished families. The impoverished families seated at these banquet tables didn’t need to give gifts. They could eat as soon as they sat down. However, there were some unspoken rules, such as not taking leftovers until everyone had finished eating.
If they wanted to take leftovers, they had to get the consent of everyone at the table. Immortals hosting the banquet wouldn’t dare to cause trouble. Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
Many casual cultivators and immortal cultivation families also arrived, making the Li Mansion livelier. Many independent cultivators and cultivator families from the Four Qi Kingdom and the Northern Yan Kingdom came. After this celebration, Li Su’s name would resound throughout the cultivation world in the three secular countries.
“Su Yun”
“Sweetie~”
As night fell, Li Su lifted the red veil.
Under the veil was Su Yun’s exceptionally blushing face. Gazing at Su Yun like this, Li Su felt a surge of affection in his heart.
This evening became exceptionally romantic. Perhaps because Su Yun was incredibly enchanting, it lasted until the next morning…
In the following days, Li Su was fully immersed in happiness.
“Yun, let’s have a few kids~” Li Su whispered to Su Yun.
After reaching the Qi refining stage, female cultivators could choose not to have offspring. Even if certain things happen, they could avoid getting pregnant. Su Yun was still young. Her future was boundless.
Li Su didn’t intend to pressure her into having children, so he had to seek her consent. There was still a hint of shyness on Su Yun’s face, but hearing Li Su’s words, she hadn’t planned on having children for the time being, softened her heart.
She genuinely liked Li Su a lot. So, she softly murmured, “Hmm.”
Seeing Su Yun’s agreement, Li Su grew even fonder of her.
“Thank you, Yun~” Li Su said.
“How about having ten?”
Then Li Su’s next words startled Su Yun.
Ten…
How long would that take to live?
Seeing Su Yun’s expression, Li Su teasingly kissed her.
“Yun, I’m just kidding. You still have to focus on your cultivation~” Li Su laughed heartily.
And then, he devoted himself once again…
“Congratulations to both of you, Junior Sister Su and Senior Brother Li.”
A few days after the wedding, Li’s residence welcomed another guest. It was Qin Xiaoyue, the national teacher of Wu Kingdom. She was also the head’s direct disciple, but her talent wasn’t as outstanding as Su Yun’s.
The specific cultivation realm she was in wasn’t known to Li Su. However, she was older than Su Yun and started her cultivation journey earlier. When Li Su reached the Foundation Establishment stage a hundred years old, she had already achieved the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment.
It wasn’t the same as Su Yun, as Qin Xiaoyue had been stationed in the capital of the Wu Kingdom and hadn’t undergone any rotations. She had been in the capital of Wu Kingdom for sixty years.
The reason for this was that there was a mysterious wordless stone tablet in the capital that seemed to contain hidden information. While others couldn’t see any words on the stone tablet, she seemed to be able to glean some information from it. Her progress there was even faster than in the Flying Immortal Sect.
Qin Xiaoyue visited a few days ago, but at that time, the celebrations were too busy, and Li Su and Su Yun didn’t have time to meet her.
This time, she came specifically for that purpose. The last time Li Su saw her was several decades ago. At that time, he was still in the late Qi refining stage, while she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the head’s direct disciple. Li Su’s status and hers were worlds apart.
When Li Su reached the Foundation Establishment stage a hundred years old, she even gave him a rare congratulatory gift.
“Senior Sister Xiaoyue, you must be close to breaking through to the Golden Core stage, right?” Su Yun asked.
Qin Xiaoyue shook her head. “Not that soon. I’m still a little short of completing the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, breaking through to the Golden Core stage won’t be easy, and I’m unsure if I’ll succeed.”
“Senior sister, you’re so talented. I’m sure you can do it!” Su Yun encouraged her.
“I came here mainly to seek Senior Brother Li’s advice on the path to Core Formation. Several decades ago, when I was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment, Senior Brother Li was still in the Qi refining stage. I didn’t expect Senior Brother Li to reach the Golden Core stage before me in just a few decades.”
After some pleasantries, Qin Xiaoyue explained her purpose. She had come to learn. She also felt a sense of awe.
In the past few decades, she had come close to completing the Foundation Establishment stage, yet Li Su had undergone a tremendous transformation during that time.
