The flying boat swiftly returned to Feixianzong, and the master urged Li Su to keep the matter of the underground Devil Cultivator a secret to avoid causing panic. Li Su assured her that he wouldn't disclose the information. The master then presented Li Su with a Shocking Rainbow Pill, a precious Medicine Pill that could enhance the Gold Core level. Although Li Su didn't necessarily need it, he graciously accepted the gift from his master. He planned to give it to Su Yun when she attained the Golden Core stage.
Outside the mountain gate of Feixianzong, Su Yun bid farewell to Li Su, her face blushing with shyness. Li Su's words, promising to marry her regardless of the bet's outcome, filled her with joy and anticipation. With a smile, Li Su left Feixianzong on the flying boat, confident that he would win the five-year bet.
Li Su believed that achieving the Gold Core stage within the given time frame was a manageable task. His current Cultivation Base could be increased by more than 70 points each year through the growth of future generations, totaling over 360 points in five years. With over 170 points already accumulated, he was well on his way to success. He could have already reached the Gold Core stage if he didn't desire a higher starting point. Despite the Elder's reassurance that Cultivation Base mattered more than the Gold Core grade, Li Su aimed for the best possible foundation.
Li Su's journey continued with various happy events in the following year. He no longer took ordinary women as concubines, as their beauty no longer satisfied him. Instead, he sought nuns from the two secular countries, expanding his choices for potential partners. The population of the Li family grew, but Li Su remained indifferent to the head's suggestion of replacing the royal family. He saw no value in pursuing a secular throne and deemed it a waste of his time.
As the years passed, Li Su's alchemy energy increased steadily. In the second year, his energy rose by 80 points, and four more descendants with Spiritual Roots were born. The third year saw a slightly lower increase of 2 new descendants, bringing the total close to 60. Li Su was confident that he would surpass this milestone in the next year. The progress seemed effortless, and he believed that winning the bet with the head was practically assured.
Li Su's optimistic outlook indicated his confidence in his own abilities. He knew that with the continuous growth of his descendants and their Spiritual Roots, his Cultivation Base would reach remarkable heights. Winning the bet felt more like a form of amusement rather than a true challenge. With the next year approaching, Li Su anticipated reaching the breakthrough point and claiming his reward of a 100-year Cultivation Base.
In summary, Li Su's journey back to Feixianzong was marked by the master's request for secrecy and the bestowal of a valuable Medicine Pill. Li Su accepted the gift graciously, even though he didn't necessarily need it. He bid farewell to Su Yun, his future wife, and embarked on a path to fulfill the five-year bet. As the years passed, Li Su's alchemy energy steadily increased, and the number of descendants with Spiritual Roots grew. His confidence in winning the bet remained unwavering, and he looked forward to surpassing all expectations.
