7: baffling
“You only have the right to know after you reach the Nascent Soul Stage!”
Li Daoxuan was startled: “I have to reach the Nascent Soul Stage? This… isn’t this requirement too high?”
“You should know that a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage can already be an Elder in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Sect Master of many Sects is probably only at the Nascent Soul Stage!”
Li Daoxuan was internally complaining. He only had the right to know at the Nascent Soul Stage, so what Realm would he need to reach to get revenge? He casually saved someone and married a wife; what powerful existence had he provoked?
“Husband! What’s wrong? Are you scared?”
“Haha! Scared? How could I possibly be scared?”
“I am a man who will stand at the peak of the world.”
“In the future, our Family’s power will spread throughout the entire Cultivation world, and then we will Ascend to the Immortal Realm, making a formidable name for ourselves there.”
Su Youruo nodded firmly: “Husband, I believe you!”
However, Su Youruo suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Family? Building a Family was not something that the two of them could accomplish.
That is to say, the Li Family needed to expand!
“Husband, are you thinking of taking a few more concubines?”
“Ah? Is that so? No! Absolutely not!”
...
Although Li Daoxuan was facing a huge crisis, he still spent very little time Cultivating.
It wasn't that he didn’t want to work hard, but his Cultivation speed was still too slow.
Li Daoxuan returned to his simple and unpretentious life, raising children while making more children!
The only regret was that the Spiritual Root quality of their first child was not high, only Yellow Rank. This made Li Daoxuan very puzzled. His wife was definitely not an ordinary person, so logically, their child’s Spiritual Root quality should not be too bad.
However, Li Daoxuan felt that having children was a shortcut to quickly improve his Cultivation!
In the garden pavilion, Su Youruo was staring at Li Daoxuan with resentful eyes, making him look bewildered.
“Wife, what’s wrong?”
“It’s all your fault, you’re to blame!”
“Me? I haven’t left the house recently!”
“Hmph! You’re going to be a father again!”
Li Daoxuan was stunned, then burst into laughter: “Ah ha! Ah hahaha… Good! Excellent! My wife is truly amazing!”
Su Youruo: “......”
Li Daoxuan felt that he couldn't be idle anymore; it was time to go out and take a look around.
“Wife! I’m going out for something. Take good care of yourself and the children at home. Wait for me to come back!”
“Mm-hmm! Got it.”
Li Daoxuan had made up his mind. He would first return to the Heavenly Dao Sect. Once he achieved Foundation Establishment, he could become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The benefits of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple should not be wasted. Even if he didn't need them, he could use them for his children in the future.
Also, Inner Sect Disciples could take on some Sect missions to obtain certain rewards.
He would see if he could choose a better Cultivation Technique.
This time, his return to the Sect was much faster. A Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage could already fly short distances in the air, and even control a Spiritual Artifact to fly.
“When can I get a Flying Sword? Flying with a sword, that’s truly flashy!”
Just as Li Daoxuan was thinking about pleasant things, a shout interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw that he had already arrived at the Heavenly Dao Sect’s mountain gate.
“Stop! This is the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Outsiders are not allowed to enter!”
Li Daoxuan looked him over; he didn't recognize him.
“Cough cough! Junior Brother, I am a Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. I am not an outsider.”
“Hmm? Why don’t I recognize you?”
Li Daoxuan said awkwardly: “Well, I’ve been out for a while, so you probably haven’t seen me. You must be a newly inducted Disciple, right?”
“Here! This is my identity token!”
The Disciple guarding the mountain gate suspiciously took the token, carefully confirmed it, then cupped his hands and said: “Senior Brother, please enter!”
After entering the Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Daoxuan headed straight for a palace, which was where the Outer Sect Elders resided.
To enter the Inner Sect, one needed an Elder to register and recommend them.
Upon entering the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man dozing off.
“Cough cough cough!”
“Hmm? Little fellow, what do you need?” The middle-aged man instantly woke up, his face amiable, and he asked with a smile.
“Elder, how should I address you?”
“You can call me Elder Liu!”
“Elder Liu, I have successfully achieved Foundation Establishment and wish to register as an Inner Sect Disciple.”
Elder Liu put away his smile and carefully examined Li Daoxuan. He first nodded, then shook his head.
This left Li Daoxuan bewildered, but he didn’t dare to ask too many questions.
“Come, register your information.”
As soon as Li Daoxuan wrote down his name, he suddenly felt a cold gaze directed at him, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
“You are Li Daoxuan? You are called Li Daoxuan?”
“You brat, if you hadn’t already become an Inner Sect Disciple, I would truly wish I could slap you to death…”
Li Daoxuan was dumbfounded. This should be the first time he had seen this Elder, right? Why was his hatred for him so great?
Li Daoxuan even felt a fleeting killing intent.
He really couldn’t understand!
This Elder’s mood changed faster than flipping a book. Was it really necessary?
“Here! This is your stuff. Take it and scram!”
An identity token, a set of Inner Sect Disciple robes, and a standardized longsword, which was only a first-tier Spiritual Artifact.
Li Daoxuan left with the items. Normally, an Elder would give instructions, such as precautions after entering the Inner Sect, residence, choice of Cultivation Technique, etc. Now there was nothing.
“Sigh! I’ll inquire about it after I get to the Inner Sect.”
He temporarily stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand. It took some effort to find out about the Inner Sect.
Inner Sect Disciples already had their own Immortal Cave and could choose two Cultivation Techniques.
Li Daoxuan first chose an Immortal Cave as his small nest. Perhaps he wouldn't spend most of his time in the Sect in the future, but having an Immortal Cave was still good. After all, this Immortal Cave had a Spirit Gathering Array, and the Cultivation conditions were much better than outside.
Li Daoxuan tidied up the Immortal Cave, thinking about what to do next.
“My Cultivation resources are basically used up.”
“Should I go out and take on a few missions?”
“No! It’s too dangerous outside, and it wastes time.”
“With so much time, I might as well make a few more children and marry a few more wives!”
Taking missions was absolutely out of the question. Cultivating? Let’s just forget it.
“How about I go choose two suitable Cultivation Techniques now, and then… then just go straight home?”
That’s right! This was no longer the crazy person who desperately Cultivated.
What Li Daoxuan thought about most now was how to have more children, marry more wives, and then happily receive rewards.
With only one wife, the speed was still a bit slow.
However, his wife didn't seem to mind him taking a few more wives, which was good news.
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan couldn’t help but smile.
“Bang~ Bang~”
“Bang~ Bang~ Bang~”
Li Daoxuan’s face instantly turned cold. Someone was attacking his Immortal Cave.
This was strictly forbidden within the Sect. No matter how great the animosity between Sect Disciples, they couldn't just casually attack someone else's Immortal Cave.
If someone was in a critical period of secluded Cultivation, wouldn't they directly suffer Qi Deviation?!
Rage!
Fury!
Li Daoxuan stood up directly, wanting to see who was seeking death.
