019 Called By The Head (4)

Li Su dedicated a considerable amount of resources to arrange the Li family's mountain protection array. Afterward, he set out on another visit to Feixianzong, a journey he had made several times over the past few years. His main purpose was to send his offspring, who had come of age at 12, to Feixianzong for training. This practice not only benefited his descendants but also provided feedback to Li Su's own cultivation.

Although the current feedback from his offspring was not significant, Li Su envisioned that as the number of his descendants increased in the future, it would serve as a path for his own growth.

Upon arriving at Feixianzong, Li Su was warmly welcomed by the disciples on duty at the mountain gate. Their enthusiasm reflected the changes in their attitude toward him since his cultivation base had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. In their spare time, these disciples often discussed Li Su's rapid advancement, as it was uncommon for someone to progress so quickly after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Su proceeded to the foreign affairs hall, intending to claim his Spirit Stones. With his cultivation base now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he was eligible to receive 600 Spirit Stones each month, an increase of 200 from before.

"Li Su, have you reached the peak of Foundation Establishment?" asked Elder Xue, blinking his eyes in surprise.

Li Su confirmed it with a nod, acknowledging his achievement.

Elder Xue, though appearing somewhat drowsy, was actually a formidable cultivator in the early stage of the Gold Core. However, due to injuries sustained in a past battle, his progress had been hindered, and it was unlikely for him to advance further in this lifetime.

Elder Xue's surprise at Li Su's progress stemmed from the fact that just ten years ago, Li Su had only reached the seventh floor of Foundation Establishment. Yet, within a decade, he had managed to ascend to the tenth floor—a remarkable feat. Although it was not uncommon for cultivators with sixth rank or higher Spiritual Roots, Li Su's Spiritual Roots were not at that level. This rapid advancement raised speculation among the disciples, with some wondering if Li Su had come across a powerful cultivation opportunity.

After receiving his Spirit Stones, Li Su planned to visit the Artifact Refining Pavilion to exchange them for materials. As he arrived there, however, a fellow disciple approached him with news.

"Senior Brother Li, the head wishes to see you," she informed him.

Surprised by the summons, Li Su pondered briefly before deciding to follow the female disciple to the main hall of Feixianzong. It had been more than 20 years since he last saw the head, but she appeared unchanged, exuding an aura of strength that hinted at her nearing the Nascent Soul stage.

"I didn't expect you to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment so quickly. With your poor Spiritual Roots, you can only be an Outer Sect disciple. If you were to become a core disciple, others would not accept it," the head commented.

Li Su acknowledged the reality of his situation, understanding that his Spiritual Roots limited him to an Outer Sect position.

"However, your recent advancements in Cultivation Base have been exceptional. As an exception, I will accept you as a personal disciple, granting you the privileges and treatment of a core disciple," the head offered.

The prospect of becoming a personal disciple meant that Li Su would bypass certain rules of Feixianzong. This was necessary since his poor Spiritual Roots would have made him an outsider among the core disciples. Enjoying the benefits and obligations of a core disciple would undoubtedly restrict his freedom compared to his current situation.

However, Li Su had one pressing concern. If he accepted the head as his master and became her

disciple, would she still be willing to bear a child for him?
