Chapter 42 - Elder Li, are you marrying the little junior sister
Li Su’s golden core was quite large. This size was remarkable, considering that Li Su had just broken through to the golden core stage.
Even a ninth-grade golden core would appear large if the cultivator advanced to the later stage of the golden core. But his golden core was unusually big for Li Su, who had just made the breakthrough.
A larger golden core at the beginning meant more potent true essence, greater strength at the same level, and the ability to sustain battles for a longer duration. In short, there were many advantages.
Furthermore, with the current size of his golden core, it would become even larger in the later stages of the golden core. Another benefit was that breaking through the Nascent Soul stage would be easier with a first-grade golden pill.
Of course, many factors determined whether one could break through the Nascent Soul stage, but a first-grade golden pill faced fewer bottlenecks. After the breakthrough, Li Su would become even stronger.
Hence, only those cultivators who had no hope of forming a core in their lives would not care about the grade of the golden core. For them, simply forming a core was a blessing. But cultivators with more talent would strive for a higher grade of golden core.
The grade of the golden core was determined during the Foundation Establishment stage, and the difficulty of advancing increased by over a hundredfold after breaking through to the golden core stage.
The sect leader hadn’t expected Li Su’s golden core to be this large! She walked over, her eyes reflecting a mixture of surprise, admiration, and awe.
“I didn’t expect you to cultivate a first-grade golden core. I underestimated you before. You don’t need much consolidation now,” the sect leader said.
“Now that there are traces of demonic cultivators in this area, we can’t guarantee they won’t come looking for you in the future. Until we have enough strength, try not to reveal the grade of your golden core. Otherwise, the demonic cultivators will take a keen interest in you,” the sect leader cautioned.
Li Su nodded and thanked the sect leader for her advice.
“Very well, according to your plan, you and Su Yun will get married in three months. It will be a celebration for you, and I will invite members from the other two immortal sects to participate,” the sect leader announced.
Li Su agreed to the sect leader’s arrangement.
“In addition, it’s time to mention your identity. From today onwards, you are an elder of the Flying Immortal Sect. You don’t need to hold a specific position but will enjoy the privileges of an elder. Generally, you won’t need to take action, so it won’t consume much of your time,” the sect leader added.
Li Su accepted the sect leader’s decision.
“Congratulations, senior brother! I didn’t expect you to be so amazing,” Su Yun exclaimed with admiration in her eyes.
The sect leader quietly left, not wanting to intrude on their intimate moment.
“Once we’re married, I will do my best to help you achieve the golden core as soon as possible,” Li Su said softly to Su Yun.
Her heart swelled with love for her future husband.
Meanwhile, the sect leader left the scene discreetly. Staying any longer would only make her feel like a third wheel, witnessing the sweet interactions between the couple.
“Elder Li.”
“Haha, Elder Li, I didn’t expect you to achieve it so quickly.”
“Congratulations, Elder Li, on cultivating the Golden Pill!”
The next day, after a grand elder coronation ceremony attended by numerous disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect, Li Su was surrounded by elders and disciples.
The Flying Immortal Sect had four elders in the golden core stage. One elder was in the middle stage, while the others were in the early stage. With Li Su, there were a total of five elders.
Among them, only three elders were at the golden core stage in the Flying Immortal Sect. There was another elder who oversaw the spiritual stone mine in Mangkang Mountain.
Although the Flying Immortal Sect still had two other spiritual stone mines, they were nearly exhausted, with only a small amount of spiritual stones left. Thus, there was no need for powerful cultivators to oversee them.
After the elder coronation ceremony, Li Su officially became an elder of the Flying Immortal Sect. The disciples no longer referred to him as Senior Brother Li but Elder Li. The elders also addressed him as Elder Li instead of using his name.
However, Su Yun still called him Senior Brother Li Su as she followed the head of the sect’s instruction. But in a few months, she would have to change her address. She would have to call him husband. The head of the sect’s title remained unchanged.
After the coronation ceremony, Li Su returned to the Li family to prepare for the wedding. Meanwhile, news of Li Su’s attainment of the golden core stage spread rapidly after the Li family sent out numerous invitations.
“I didn’t expect Senior Li to break through to the golden core stage. We must attend his celebration!” Upon receiving the news, some casual cultivators attended Li Su’s wedding.
The Li family sent out invitations and issued an announcement welcoming all casual cultivators who wished to attend the celebration.
The Li family became bustling and lively. A large number of relatives returned from other places. This kind of event was considered the most significant in the eyes of the Li family’s descendants.
As Li Su achieved the golden core stage, the Li family’s status in the entire Wu Kingdom was unparalleled. Even the royal family members were apprehensive, fearing that Li Su might suddenly develop an interest and make his descendants emperors. So, the royal family was the most active in attending the celebration.
They sent a large number of congratulatory gifts. It was said that even the emperor was prepared to visit the Li family personally. The Li family was in the spotlight like never before.
Amidst this excitement, two months quickly passed by. At the end of the third month, Li Su set off with a large entourage for the wedding. The day had come to marry his junior sister.
Simultaneously, upon Li Su’s arrival at the Flying Immortal Sect, the celebration prepared by the sect for him was also underway. The wedding and the celebration were intertwined, making the atmosphere even more lively.
The other two immortal sects had sent many cultivators to attend the celebration. They had also prepared numerous congratulatory gifts. These gifts would naturally be presented to Li Su.
