The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1449 - 1461: Seeking Immortality (26)
This should be Su Li’s first large-scale disciple training. It was quite a fresh experience, and she did it quite seriously.
These little ones lived up to her seriousness, each one considerate and filial.
She could proudly announce that they were the best batch of followers she had ever... no, wrong word, the best batch of disciples she had ever taken under her wing.
They attended to eating, drinking, and sleeping meticulously, well-versed in massaging legs, pounding the back, fanning, and other services.
This deal was truly worthwhile.
Just as Su Li was immersed in the life game of raising and teaching these little ones, completely forgetting the people outside, the days flew by.
While Su Li and others had forgotten, those outside still stood their ground without moving.
Fire stones, Qimen Trigram, and Mechanical Skills were all employed in turn, but none succeeded in breaking through that barrier.
The group sent by the imperial dynasty became like ants on a hot stove as days passed, anxiously pacing around, with the accumulating frustration burning within them.
As confidently, overbearingly boastful as Your Majesty was before, now he was embarrassingly angry.
Everywhere he looked was Royal Land, everywhere he looked was King’s subjects.
Yet, unexpectedly, in his own territory appeared this uncontrollable variable from the Tang family; how could he feel at ease, how could he not be furious.
But in truth, your anger is yours, I remain unshaken.
Your Majesty directly ordered, "Dig three feet deep, and break in for me."
That’s embarrassing for him.
The Su Family’s days were even harder, especially for Su XiuYu.
For sixteen years, he had never cared about Su Li and Tang Xianxian, the mother and daughter, but in a short time, he was forced to remember events regarding Tang Xianxian and Su Li almost every day.
Like interrogating a criminal, leaving no detail out.
His indifference turned into knowledge of even when the Second Young Lady first had her menstruation.
The days felt like Tribulation Crossing, not noticing his wife’s strange attitude.
Ever since those from the imperial dynasty entered the mansion, Ye Zhiru kept to herself, seldom appearing.
Su XiuYu hadn’t noticed his wife’s anomaly; he was yet again entangled in new difficulties.
Your Majesty directly betrothed the Second Young Lady to the Second Prince. This move was quite the show...
What to do without a bride? They didn’t care anyway, setting the wedding date a month later, and if the Su Family couldn’t produce a Second Young Lady for the marriage, just one charge of defying an imperial decree could cost the Su Family their lives.
Cooking oil on high flame, suffering....
Old Mrs. Su was filled with bitterness as if she had eaten bitter lotus.

The Tang Residence courtyard was transformed into an open-air classroom, with low tables set up in the empty space, all topped with incense-making tools.
The little ones earnestly followed Su Li’s moves at the front.
The scene was like students following a teacher in a chemistry lab class.
To Su Li, making Coil Incense, refining medicinal properties with special methods to create something desired, was much like the extraction processes in modern laboratories. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
But the difference was that Incense Dao transformed the tangible to the intangible using the Mysterious Dao, whether as medicine, tools, or techniques, capable of boundless change.
She taught these little ones as if holding a science experiment lecture, simplifying the complex, teaching them one by one.
This startling method’s biggest advantage is its rapid mass capability—a small seedling, like having been injected with growth hormones, grew swiftly.
Why are Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Talisman Refiners pursued in the Cultivation World?
Because nurturing an off-the-beaten-path master of great halls requires time and resources.
Every Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, and Talisman Refiner is built with a mountain of resources.
Yet even more obscure auxiliary paths are even harder to enter.
From Su Li’s inherited memory, only Ling Miao Wanderer was known to cultivate Incense Dao, achieving mastery as a Loose Immortal.
That was only because she was a Great Fortune, favored by the Heavenly Dao, which allowed her to achieve the Supreme Dao as a wanderer.
But she was the only individual example, indicating the difficulty of these obscure paths.
Yet no one knew that in a remote imperial dynasty with severed immortal fate, twenty-two such talents emerged at once.
Su Li’s fingers formed an orchid finger, placed at her chest, while the other hand gently touched her nose. In front of her, a glittering golden pill floated up and down.
Like Su Li, every little one in front of them also had a golden pill floating.
Only the shades varied slightly, with the older children’s golden pills akin to Su Li’s, while the youngest children’s were pale gold.
"Combined Fragrance." Su Li closed her eyes, lightly sniffing, the golden pill burst open, transforming into a dense golden fragrance mist, and a wisp was drawn into Su Li’s body.
To put it poorly, it’s like a demon absorbing one’s essence.
Spit, spit, spit, how could she say that, yet it’s quite descriptive.
The little ones followed suit, and once all the fragrance mist was absorbed into their bodies, a layer of black greasy residue surfaced on their skin.
"Congratulations, you have advanced another level."
"From now on, you are all Foundation Establishment Cultivators. I shall open some Incense Dao Techniques for you to study on your own."
Su Li spoke casually, and the young ones listened just as casually.
Lacking common sense, they didn’t find becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator remarkable, as everyone around them was, and twenty-two advancing simultaneously.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators aren’t that remarkable; what’s remarkable is their age and cultivation speed.
Only after the little ones had left did Tang Xianxian, who had been waiting outside, slowly come over.
Her expression was peculiar, hesitating to speak, wanting to say something yet seemingly unable to know how to start.
Su Li: "Did Uncle Deaf say you’ve just been squatting at the gate these days, watching the show?"
The wounds she suffered were nearly half healed now, and the stone bead on the spirit platform was in a nurturing state. No one was more aware of the Tang Residence’s inner and outer dynamics than her.
Su Li lazily lay on a soft couch, lighting the incense burner beside her before asking, "Are you worried about Old Mrs. Su?"
Tang Xianxian pitifully nodded, then shook her head, softly saying, "Yes and no."
"I can feel she truly cared for me once. Seeing her being coerced like this, I feel heartbroken.... but to think the Su Family would marry you to the Second Prince..." Tang Xianxian covered her eyes, sobbing and accusing, "That Second Prince, weak as he is, doesn’t look like he’ll live long; how could they do this."
"Bad, too bad." Tang Xianxian’s vocabulary was so poor that the words turned into ’bad people, bad people’; how could they be so bad....
Su Li was speechless; more than scolding, it was more like she was being coquettish.
"Not one good thing among the Su Family, they bullied me not enough and now want to bully my dear Ah Lee.... I, I curse them all to have children with no butt holes."
