Chapter 8 - Drill tents
On the Immortal Desolate Peak, a woman with a pretty face introduced herself to Li Su. This woman was named Zhang Yuer, and her cultivation level was at the second level of Qi refining.
Her parents were Qi refining cultivators, and she also had spiritual roots, although they weren’t that great.
Her parents seemed to want her to establish a relationship with Li Su and left her with him before departing.
This time, many wandering cultivators came to the gathering, not only from the Wu Kingdom but also from other secular countries.
At this moment, a sword light approached from afar. “Another Foundation Establishment senior is here!”
“It’s Senior Bai, Senior Bai has come several times before,” some wandering cultivators recognized the arriving cultivator.
“Senior, Senior Bai is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he is a wandering cultivator. It is said that Senior Bai’s talent was originally ordinary. Still, he obtained some fortuitous encounters several decades ago and made rapid progress, finally successfully establishing his foundation 20 years ago,” Zhang Yuer explained.
Li Su looked over, and the cultivator named Bai looked like he was quite a bit older than him. The other’s strength seemed pretty good, but the attention of the female cultivators on Immortal Desolate Peak was still mostly on Li Su.
When the other side arrived, he was also welcomed, and many casual practitioners went forward to meet him.
Even though they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, Li Su was much better than Bai in terms of looks and temperament.
For the same cultivator who established the foundation, in terms of appearance and temperament, Li Su should completely beat the cultivator named Bai.
In the foundation-building stage, if there was no beauty and temperament like Li Su, many female cultivators in the Qi refining stage would not pay too much attention.
“I didn’t expect that fellow cultivator would also be interested in attending the wandering cultivator gathering. I’m planning to recruit some wandering cultivators to hunt demon beasts in the Blackwood Forest. I heard that a fellow cultivator is a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. I wonder if you’re interested in joining me?” After the cultivator surnamed Bai came, he quickly noticed Li Su and sent an invitation.
Li Su said, “I’m not interested in hunting demon beasts.”
The cultivator surnamed Bai politely bowed after seeing Li Su’s refusal and was then surrounded by some interested rogue cultivators.
For rogue cultivators, hunting demonic beasts in special and dangerous areas was a way to obtain cultivation resources. Still, it was also very risky and could result in the loss of their lives.
The Blackwood Forest was fraught with danger, and it was extremely dangerous for Qi refining stage cultivators to go there.
However, if accompanied by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, they could venture to the outer perimeter and perhaps gain something valuable.
However, Li Su had no interest in this. If he were to go, he would not go with this unfamiliar cultivator surnamed Bai, but rather return to Flying Immortal Sect to find teammates or go alone.
“Senior, may I be so bold as to ask for your guidance?”
A group of casual cultivators who were exchanging ideas saw Li Su coming, and they were still there talking for a long time. A female cultivator couldn’t help but speak boldly.
Guidance?
Although Li Su did not cultivate himself, he still had insights into cultivation.
The cultivation he obtained from the system’s rewards was directly given to him, but along with the cultivation, he also received insights into cultivation.
This type of reward made Li Su’s foundation more solid as if he had cultivated for over a thousand years.
It was not like rootless water or foundationless walls.
In other words, Li Su now had insights into cultivation that were equivalent to over a thousand years of cultivation.
Although his spiritual root was very poor, these insights were genuine.
Seeing some female cultivators eyeing him expectantly, Li Su cleared his throat and began to earnestly offer guidance.
“Let’s go over there,” said Lu Weijia, approaching with two companions.
Soon, many rogue cultivators gathered around Li Su. The innermost layer of these rogue cultivators was mostly female cultivators.
Li Su’s explanations of cultivation insights were easy to understand and enjoyable to listen to.
Because his spiritual roots were very poor, his insights were suitable for these rogue cultivators with similarly poor spiritual roots.
Li Su did not try to conceal the fact that his spiritual root was poor.
After all, at the age of one hundred, nobody could possibly think of him as a genius or anything like that.
So, soon, the wandering cultivators all listened with rapt attention.
The female cultivators particularly stared fixedly at Li Su.
As some of the female cultivators stared, they didn’t know what they were thinking, and their gazes would sometimes become unnatural, and their cheeks would occasionally turn red.
After talking for a long time, Li Su saw that more and more wandering cultivators were gathering around, and they were all listening with great interest, so he had no choice but to continue.
After talking for another half day, it was already dark, and several layers of wandering cultivators had surrounded them.
“It’s getting dark, okay? Everyone disperses and lets the senior rest” Zhang Yuer hadn’t had enough, but she still considerately tried to help Li Su out.
“Senior’s teachings were truly enlightening, and he has shown me the way. Senior, please accept my bow!” One wandering cultivator was grateful and bowed to Li Su.
The other wandering cultivators realized what was going on and expressed their thanks to Li Su in their own ways.
“Senior, this is for you.”
At this point, a female cultivator stuffed a white handkerchief into Li Su’s hand and ran off while blushing.
Their expressions became quite meaningful when the surrounding wandering cultivators saw this scene.
However, Zhang Yuer’s expression changed because this kind of wandering cultivator gathering also had a hidden function, which was an opportunity for some hopeless foundation-building cultivators to find a partner and form a cultivation family.
And once a female cultivator gave a male cultivator a handmade handkerchief or another love token, it meant that she approved of him.
If the male cultivator used the handkerchief to enter the female cultivator’s tent at night, it could lead to a beautiful event.
Among cultivators, sometimes there were not as many complicated formalities as in the mortal world.
Not every wandering cultivator gathering could succeed. Generally, it was good if one pair could be formed at a gathering.
But this time, a female cultivator publicly gave Li Su a handkerchief.
“Quick, Weijia.”
Seeing that a female cultivator was taking action, two of Weijia’s companions pushed her forward.
Weijia gritted her teeth, finally took out a handkerchief, stuffed it into Li Su’s hand, and ran off while blushing without looking back.
Another one!
The surrounding scattered cultivators were all envious.
The first female cultivator who gave Li Su a handkerchief was quite attractive, and the second one, Lu Weijia, was even more young and beautiful. Some male cultivators who had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment and were looking for a Dao companion were extremely envious.
However, envy was useless because they didn’t have Li Su’s charm.
Li Su was not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator but also had an explosive appeal to women.
Just being strong wasn’t enough. That Bai-surname cultivator, who was also at the Foundation Establishment stage and had attended the scattered cultivators gathering twice, had not received a handkerchief from any female cultivators.
As cultivators, even if some female practitioners had no prospects of achieving a Foundation Establishment, they refused to settle for less.
“Yuer, what does this mean?”
Li Su pulled Zhang Yuer aside and asked,
“I still don’t quite understand what is going on.”
Zhang Yuer hesitated whether to hand over her handkerchief. Hearing Li Su’s question, she explained in a low voice.
“Is it possible to do it like this?”
Li Su was startled.
This time he came to the scattered cultivators gathering to get to know some female cultivators and marry a few “fairy maidens” in order to give birth to more children with spiritual roots.
However, he did not expect it to go so smoothly. It seemed that he had underestimated his own charm. If he had come when he was in the later stage of Qi Refining, he might have been able to marry a “fairy maiden” and have children with spiritual roots.
“Senior… if you like… Yuer is also willing…”
At this point, Zhang Yuer whispered in an extremely subtle voice.
