Chapter 6: Scattered cultivator gathering, fluttering young man

“Still no spiritual roots?” Nevertheless, even after the birth of Ning Xiaoyu’s third child, there was still no indication of any spiritual roots. It seemed that the development of spiritual roots was not something that could be easily granted.

In the martial kingdom, some families of Qi refining stage cultivators were referred to as immortal cultivator families. However, in reality, only a few immortal cultivators resided within those families. Although Li Su was disappointed that his child lacked spiritual roots, he saw each additional offspring as a potential source of cultivation growth.

“Husband, the biennial gathering of wandering cultivators is about to begin. Will you go?” On this particular day, Ning Xiaoyu remembered an important event.

The gathering of wandering cultivators? Li Su had heard of it. It was a gathering organized by wandering cultivators from several secular countries near the martial kingdom. The martial kingdom and several nearby secular countries were controlled by three immortal sects.

Joining an immortal sect was not easy. Individuals with slightly inferior spiritual roots could only become outer disciples of the sect. If they failed to make progress over several years, they would not even be able to maintain their status as outer disciples and would be forced to become wandering cultivators.

This was an unavoidable outcome due to limited cultivation resources. The sects could not afford to support individuals who did not contribute to their progress. As a result, many wandering cultivators were created under such circumstances.

If it hadn’t been for Li Su owing a favor to the leader of the Flying Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t have been able to stay in the sect for such a long time. Additionally, thanks to Li Su’s connections, Ning Xiaoyu was also able to enter the Flying Immortal Sect.

Li Su rarely participated in gatherings of wandering cultivators before. He followed a different path of growth compared to other cultivators. However, when Ning Xiaoyu informed him about the upcoming gathering, Li Su became interested.

After making arrangements, Li Su took care of things at home. Since Ning Xiaoyu had recently given birth to their third child, she decided to stay with the Li family.

“Xiaoyu, I’m leaving,” Li Su said.

On that day, Li Su mounted his horse and departed from the Li family, heading towards the border of the martial kingdom. The wandering cultivators gathered in the middle of several secular countries, where there were vast areas with few people. These areas were rarely visited by people and often had some dangers. Ordinary people did not come here.

After several days of travel, Li Su arrived at the border of the martial kingdom. He left his horse at a relay station and continued his journey on a flying sword.

“Senior, are you heading to the gathering of wandering cultivators?” Shortly after taking flight, a figure ascended from below and respectfully inquired, “Sir.”

Li Su glanced at the person. This individual seemed to be a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage, possessing decent strength. To ordinary people, cultivators were considered as “immortals.”

In society, a typical postnatal master could easily handle ten or even dozens of opponents. A prenatal master, on the other hand, could take on hundreds or even thousands of opponents without breaking a sweat. To ordinary people, prenatal masters were already considered unattainable. Even a Qi Refining Stage cultivator couldn’t match a prenatal master’s power.

Li Su simply responded, “Hmm, I happen to be going there too.”

The cultivator said, “So let me lead the way for you, senior.”

The cultivator, sensing the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Li Su, displayed surprising respect. It seemed that the cultivator had never met Li Su before. Li Su did not decline the offer, and soon they arrived at a highland surrounded by steep cliffs that were difficult to climb, even for apes, guided by the cultivator.

Around the highland, occasional flashes of sword lights could be seen, indicating cultivators who had flown up on their swords after reaching the base of the highland. Some were seen scaling the cliffs, likely prenatal masters. Upon hearing about this gathering of cultivators, many prenatal masters would often join in to broaden their horizons and have some fun.

“Senior, the Immortal Desolate Peak in front of us is the location of this cultivators’ gathering,” eagerly the cultivator spoke next to Li Su.

Two sword lights approached the Immortal Desolate Peak.

“They must be two Qi Refining Stage seniors flying on their swords from such a distance,” observed a prenatal master on the cliff with a mixture of envy and awe.

As prenatal masters, their societal status was decent, but as long as they couldn’t reach the Qi Refining Stage, they would always be considered “ordinary.”

“Immortal Desolate Peak,” Li Su landed on the highland.

The highland was fairly flat, covering an area of about ten square kilometers with a length and width of approximately three kilometers. Several buildings stood upon it, serving as a gathering place for scattered cultivators during their annual meetings.

The scattered cultivators were mainly gathered in the middle area. Some had set up stalls, displaying the treasures they had collected, while others gathered in small groups of two or three, exchanging information about the world of cultivation.

Li Su’s arrival drew the attention of many scattered cultivators. Not every immortal cultivator possessed extraordinary looks, and cultivators as handsome as Li Su were even rarer. At that moment, Li Su appeared like an eighteen-year-old, exuding vitality and vigor without a hint of aging in his body.

Certain female cultivators noticed him, and their eyes lit up. What intrigued these cultivators was Li Su’s strong spiritual pressure.

“He is the ancestor of the Li family from Luoshui, and I heard he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!” someone whispered, recognizing Li Su.

“Wow, a foundation-building senior. No wonder I feel so much pressure from him. How can he look so young?” another person wondered.

“I’m not sure. Maybe he has some kind of anti-aging technique. Let’s go and greet him!” someone suggested, and others agreed.

“But he’s a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. How did he come to participate in the scattered cultivators’ gathering?” the person who initially spoke expressed surprise, prompting similar reactions from the surrounding scattered cultivators.

Some cultivators took action and approached Li Su to pay their respects, drawn by his presence and reputation.
