Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

“If the Peak Master believes this approach is unsuitable, I can also refine one or two more pills for testing, but I only have three types of herbs,” Li Su stated once more.

Understanding the Peak Master’s techniques and cultivation experiences was also necessary. The pills also need to be refined according to her specific condition, but the most critical aspect was not this. It was about addressing that bottleneck.

If there were sufficient herbs, Li Su could assist Peak Master Dieyun in her breakthrough by quantity. However, these herbs were rare and involved a bottleneck related to the pinnacle of virtual refinement. Even within the Returning Origin Sect, there might not be too many.

The expression of Peak Master Dieyun quickly returned to normal. In normal circumstances, she rarely had such startled moments. Her mindset was incredibly steadfast after reaching the pinnacle of virtual refinement and encountering even stronger cultivators. It was impossible for her to be as startled as a young girl. It was just that she met Li Su, which had startled Peak Master Dieyun several times.

This time, Li Su’s proposed solution also exceeded her expectations, as it required the fusion of spiritual essences. She rarely let out an “Ah.” She didn’t answer immediately.

Li Su wasn’t in a hurry and patiently waited, shifting his gaze away from her face. While the expression of Peak Master Dieyun appeared normal, her subconscious actions of clasping her hands together and the slight fidgeting of her right hand pinching her left hand suggested she was still in a dilemma, trying to decide which approach to take. Perhaps she was torn between allowing Li Su to directly refine the pills – the risk of the pills not being potent enough or running out of herbs – and the other method.

Choosing Li Su’s second approach had its own hesitations. It indeed required placing complete trust in Li Su. It was similar to releasing her own spiritual essence while Li Su did not need to. If Li Su had ill intentions, he could uncover all her secrets. That was still a relatively mild concern. If Li Su had malicious intentions, even if her power far surpassed his, once she fully released her spiritual essence without any defenses, Li Su could still severely harm her. Even if she could react promptly, she would still suffer significant harm.

However, Peak Master Dieyun subconsciously did not seem to worry about this. What made it difficult for her to make a decision was that this method was somewhat similar to spiritual intercourse between certain Taoist partners. Although there were differences, the approach was somewhat similar. The current situation was similar to a scenario where a woman went to a gynecologist, and it turned out to be a male doctor. It went even further than that. Of course, there were differences, but it didn’t involve the physical body. However, it still made it challenging for Peak Master Dieyun to decide.

So, after a little over half a day had passed, finally, the gaze of Peak Master Dieyun became resolute. She looked at Li Su and said, “Let’s go with the second option.” She chose the second option, the merging and overlapping of Li Su’s spiritual essence with hers, to sense her bottleneck. Peak Master Dieyun had been stuck at the bottleneck for too long, and she didn’t want to gamble on the first option. Of course, the key factor was the trust she held in Li Su at a subconscious level. Simultaneously, her willingness to accept this approach was closely tied to Li Su’s outstanding image, charisma, and admiration for him. These were all underlying factors that she might not consciously realize.

“Mm!” The Peak Master, Dieyun, suppressed the nervousness in her heart and entered the cave residence with Li Su. After Li Su activated the restrictions within the cave residence, he said, “We can begin, Peak Master.”

“Good!” The Peak Master, Dieyun, closed her eyes and slowly projected her spiritual essence. Her spiritual essence emitted a golden aura, and it appeared quite substantial. Having a golden spiritual essence was already quite impressive, but it didn’t have the transcendence of cultivating an Immortal Foundation like Sect Leader Shangguan Xue. A regular first-grade spirit root was ultimately not as superior as an Immortal Spirit Root. Then, the Peak Master, Dieyun, began to gradually dismantle her various defensive measures and released her spiritual essence.

“It’s ready, Li Su,” her spiritual essence transmitted a message. Li Su then released his own spiritual essence. The aura surrounding his spiritual essence was a vibrant and beautiful shade of purple-gold, even more dazzling than the golden aura.

“A purple-gold spiritual essence, and it’s this powerful. He has already established an Immortal Foundation. This Immortal Foundation seems even more stable than Dongfang Xue’s!” As soon as Li Su’s spiritual essence emerged, the Peak Master Dieyun immediately sensed its formidable power. Her surprise was reignited, for Li Su’s spiritual essence was exceptionally potent.

A rich, purple-gold spiritual essence emerged, infusing a touch of immortal aura into Peak Master Dieyun’s perception of its appearance. Li Su had successfully established an Immortal Foundation, impressing Dieyun more than even Sect Leader Shangguan Xue. Though Dieyun hadn’t personally witnessed Shangguan Xue’s spiritual essence, the sensation was undeniable. Moreover, Li Su’s spiritual essence was remarkably robust, similar to someone in the Middle Phase of Refinement despite being in the Refinement Phase.

Even when Dieyun was in the Refinement Phase, her spiritual essence couldn’t match Li Su’s current strength, leaving her in awe of his exceptional abilities. His capability to face two Refinement Phase opponents simultaneously during his Peak Transformation battle with Refinement Phase cultivators and his breakthrough in the Refinement Phase was causing quite a stir.

Heavenly Heart… How is that even possible? Following that, Peak Master Dieyun made an even more astounding discovery – Li Su’s spiritual essence contained a Heavenly Heart, and it was no weak one. This revelation sent a slight tremor through Dieyun’s spiritual essence, which she had initially let her defenses down.

A Heavenly Heart!

And Li Su had one, right after breaking through to the Refinement Phase? Despite her first-grade spirit root, it took her until the third Refinement Phase to forge her Heavenly Heart, which had grown gradually. Yet, Li Su’s Heavenly Heart was undeniably more powerful than hers when she had just begun forging hers.

It was almost impossible, even for an Immortal Spirit Root. At this moment, Peak Master Dieyun was once again shocked, and her spiritual essence felt somewhat sluggish. She couldn’t help but wonder, “Could he really be a reincarnated immortal?” However, this speculation had a significant flaw – if there were a reincarnated immortal, the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance should be aware of it. Yet, when it came to “immortals,” unusual occurrences were relatively common, weren’t they? After all, Li Su’s Immortal Spirit Root had escaped detection by many sacred artifacts from various places.

Nonetheless, Peak Master Dieyun was sure that Li Su possessed an Immortal Spirit Root. When it came to “immortals,” anything was possible. At that moment, Li Su’s spiritual essence transmitted a message, asking, “Peak Master, what’s wrong?” This transmission unsettled Peak Master Dieyun, as her spiritual essence fluctuated.

“It’s nothing, Li Su. Just wait a moment,” Peak Master Dieyun responded, striving to contain her surprise and stabilize her emotions. Her spiritual essence had to be calm for Li Su to merge smoothly.
