Chapter 70:

Chapter 70: In that case, it appears we dont have to be concerned this time, echoed the voice of the Blazing Sun Sect Master in the grand hall. While they were somewhat surprised by Li Sus rapid progress in strength, both Sect Masters were relieved now that the threat from the attacking demonic cultivator had been resolved. Despite the competition among the three immortal sects in this region, they often united when facing common enemies like demonic cultivators.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n. However, the likelihood of the Saintess mentioned by that demonic cultivator arriving is still high. We should prepare in advance. If you require assistance, simply inform us. When you detect any signs, use the communication stones to notify us, and we will arrive promptly, added the Sect Master. The crisis is temporarily averted, and night is falling. Ive arranged a dinner, I hope both Sect Masters will honor us with their presence, stated the Seven Star Valley Sect Master. Immediately, Elder Huang extended the invitation. While Li Su currently displayed greater strength, many matters were overseen by Elder Huang when the Sect Master was in seclusion. Li Su naturally didnt concern himself with these minor affairs. As night descended, the banquet commenced within the Flying Immortal Sect. Even after reaching the Energy Refinement stage, cultivators still required sustenance. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could they go without food for extended periods. Nevertheless, they still needed to eat occasionally or consume pills that helped extend their fasting periods. After reaching the Golden Core stage, cultivators mostly freed themselves from dependence on food, though they could still indulge in delectable meals if they wished. An array of delicious dishes were served during the banquet hosted by the Flying Immortal Sect. Some low-level spirit plants grown in the spirit herb garden, while not particularly potent for alchemy, were excellent ingredients for crafting tasty dishes. Furthermore, many immortal sects often possessed Immortal Brew, a beverage that could make many mortal wine enthusiasts consider their lives fulfilled after a single taste. Elder Li, please, Elder Huang requested during the banquet. This time, Li Su became the center of attention at the gathering. The Sect Masters of the two immortal sects seemed to hold a favorable impression of him. Additionally, some female cultivators in their entourage couldnt help but be drawn to Li Su during the feast. After the banquet concluded, Li Su stumbled back to his cave dwelling. He had been toasted by many, and while the wine was delightful, it left him feeling woozy. Of course, Li Su could circulate his true essence to sober up, but he decided to let himself enjoy the rare experience of being inebriated for a change. During the banquet, something unexpected occurred. A Core Disciple named Xu Waner from the Seven Star Valley secretly handed Li Su a handkerchief with a small note written inside. This was the first love letter Li Su had received since his arrival. With his senses slightly dulled by the alcohol, he boldly entered Xu Waners room. As a result, that night, he felt even more intoxicated, as if he were floating in a dream, unsure if he were in heaven or on earth. So, on the second day, when the Sect Master of the Seven Star Valley was preparing to depart, he discovered that one of his disciples had left willingly with someone else. This disciple possessed a fifth-grade spiritual root, a rare and highly valued talent in the three major immortal sects. Such a spiritual root made reaching the Golden Core stage relatively easy. However, the person who had taken her away was Li Su. Every method has its flaws, its loopholes. I can spare your life if you cooperate obediently, but you must forfeit your cultivation. I swear by the heavens that I will let you go and ensure no one comes to kill you, Li Su said to the demonic cultivator, wearing a seemingly harmless smile. Li Su was sure he would release the cultivator. The question was how, and that would depend on the cultivator Bai. Then, Li Su produced a thick book, each page containing a single character. Lets play a word-guessing game, he suggested. Several hours later, Li Su extracted some information from the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. The Demon Devil Palaces control mechanisms were formidable, rendering these demonic cultivators too terrified to speak. However, Li Su found a way to bypass these controls. Li Su effectively circumvented the control mechanisms by deliberately confusing and breaking up the information the cultivator wanted to convey and then reassembling it in a different order. As I suspected, its Nascent Soul stage, Li Su noted. Li Su learned from the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator that the Saintess sent by the Demon Devil Palace this time was indeed the Saintess of the Ethereal Moon Sect, and she possessed Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivation. She had already locked onto this area but was not entirely certain. Recent conflicts within the demonic sects had made it difficult for her to leave the Demon Devil Palace for an extended period. She needed to confirm matters before taking action. Therefore, she had dispatched a Golden Core pinnacle demonic cultivator as a vanguard for the initial survey. Her mysterious secret technique made the Ethereal Moon Saintess formidable, which allowed her to temporarily boost her combat power significantly. She was not at the early stages of Nascent Soul cultivation, and it was likely she had reached Nascent Souls Second Stage. She also possessed numerous treasures. No big problem, Li Su concluded. After digesting this information, Li Su wasnt overly worried. He had confidence in the Great Yang Sword Formation, and his strength was formidable.
