BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7 - The Walking Hormone
Chapter 7 - The Walking Hormone
“I never expected that you, senior, were the renowned patriarch of the Li family in our Wu Nation. Please forgive my ignorance for not recognizing you earlier,” said a late-stage Qi refining cultivator who had brought Li Su to the mountain.
A few years ago, Li Su was only in the Qi refining stage, and even as a disciple of an Immortal Sect, he would not have been so famous among scattered cultivators. If a cultivator in the foundation establishment stage was dedicated to the cultivation, they rarely went out and therefore would not have much fame among scattered cultivators.
Li Su’s fame mainly came from the fact that he was an Immortal Sect disciple who had stayed in the mortal world for a long time. While other cultivators cut off worldly desires, Li Su went against the norm and took many concubines, even starting a prosperous mortal family.
Combined with Li Su’s foundation establishment at the age of one hundred, his name slowly spread among scattered cultivators after a few years.
In a way, foundation establishment at one hundred years old would have a greater impact on scattered cultivators. It also gave hope to some cultivators with poor qualifications that if Li Su could achieve it, perhaps they could also achieve this.
Although many scattered cultivators had heard of Li Su, few had actually met him. Seeing many scattered cultivators paying their respects to him, Li Su did not act overly aloof or enthusiastic.
He maintained the attitude of a foundation establishment cultivator, occasionally responding to the greetings, which made the visiting cultivators feel exceptionally honored.
“What’s going on over there? It’s so lively.”
“It seems to be a senior at the Foundation Establishment stage, and I heard that it is the ancestor of the Luoshui Li family.”
“The Li family patriarch? The one who took in over a hundred concubines?”
At this moment, a few female cultivators who had come together saw Li Su surrounded by many scattered cultivators and inquired about his identity.
These female cultivators were simply curious, nothing more.
Li Su had stayed in the mortal world for a long time and took in so many concubines, yet he could still achieve foundation establishment at one hundred years old, which naturally piqued their curiosity.
Looking from afar, these female cultivators saw Li Su standing out from the crowd.
“Why does he look so young?” A few female cultivators were stunned.
During the Qi Refining stage, as true essence flowed and nourished the body with spiritual energy, it could also delay aging and increase lifespan. But this delay was limited.
Although Li Su was in the Foundation Building stage, he was ultimately a hundred-year-old Foundation Builder.
Not only did Li Su look young, but he also had an extremely sunny and energetic demeanor. His eyes were bright and full of vitality, exuding strong masculine energy.
Time had left no trace on him, not even a single wrinkle. Even a youth-preserving pill would not achieve this. Moreover, a youth-preserving pill that was useful for mortals might not be useful for cultivators.
This made the few female cultivators somewhat skeptical. Was he really Senior Li?
“Yes, he is Senior Li. Senior Li is truly skilled in maintaining his youthfulness, with outstanding temperament, no different from an eighteen-year-old young man. No wonder he was able to build his foundation at a hundred years old.” Next to him, a wandering cultivator who was selling some cultivation techniques at his stall said confidently.
After a few female cultivators received confirmation, their gazes unconsciously lingered on Li Su.
Before seeing Li Su, they had only heard about the news related to the ancestor of the Li family in passing.
Subconsciously, their impression of the ancestor of the Li family was just that of an old man who was attached to the secular world and aging.
However, they did not expect that Li Su would completely overturn their impression of him when they saw him today.
His temperament and demeanor were particularly outstanding, and his appearance struck a chord with them.
“Let’s go over and pay our respects.”
After seeing the wandering cultivators go to pay their respects to Li Su one by one, a female cultivator pulled her companion and said,
“There are rarely any foundation-building cultivators at the gathering of wandering cultivators. It is a rare opportunity to make a good impression on someone like him and perhaps even receive some guidance from him.”
Even if there was no guidance, leaving a good impression was also a good thing. That was why many wandering cultivators came to pay their respects.
Shortly after, several female cultivators arrived by Li Su’s side.
“Lu Weijia pays respects to Senior,” one of the female cultivators said simply, without using too many polite words.
Li Su nodded slightly in response to show his courtesy.
“Senior Li is too young. My heart was pounding when I talked to him,” Weijia said to the female cultivators.
After paying their respects, the female cultivators stepped back to the side. One of them whispered,
“Me too, Weijia. Your parents are planning to marry you off to the Wang family, but you don’t like that guy from the Wang family. In my opinion, you might as well marry Senior Li. Although the King family’s patriarch is at the Foundation Establishment stage, he probably won’t reach it in his lifetime.”
The other female cultivator lightly nudged Weijia with her elbow and said, “Your face is turning red.”
Since we came to Immortal Desolate Peak and met Li Su, he had been like a walking hormone, attracting your attention.
Although you might not have realized it, you had developed feelings for him.
Now that the female cultivator said this, why wasn’t her face turning red?
Even if her face turned red, the words of that female cultivator just won’t go away.
Rather than marrying that fat and greasy boy from the King family who had only just reached the first level of Qi refining, it would be better to marry Li Su.
Looking at Li Su being surrounded by many wandering cultivators like a star, her heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up.
On Immortal Desolate Peak, the number of independent cultivators who came to pay their respects finally became sparse. However, there were still some who came occasionally.
This gathering was not only for exchanging insights into cultivation and information about the world of cultivation but also for trading items such as pills or spirit stones.
Qi Refinement pills that were useful for the Qi Refinement stage could be traded if lucky enough at this gathering.
However, there were no Foundation Establishment pills left.
Pills that could help with Foundation Establishment, such as Foundation Establishment Pills, were quite rare within the sect and naturally would not appear at an independent cultivator gathering.
On the other hand, it was also an opportunity to meet other cultivators and expand one’s network.
Li Su also turned around. This was his first time attending such a gathering.
“Senior, my daughter has admired you for a long time. Let my daughter accompany you to visit the assembly.” At this time, a couple came up with their daughter and said to Li Su courteously.
“The Zhang family wants to use their daughter to form a marriage alliance with Li Su. Weijia, if you don’t take action soon, someone else might beat you to it,” the other cultivator teased.
