Su Yuan let Xiao Qian look at his Sea of Consciousness.
Then Xiao Qian fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "Just who are you, senior, reincarnated? How can you integrate this kind of natural array restriction into your body? I've simply never heard of it! Living long enough, you see everything! Your natural array restriction feels like it's at the sixth tier! Didn't you consider exploding and dying when you put it inside your body?"
Su Yuan waved his hand and said, "During Foundation Establishment, it was as if heaven and earth worked together; I was just lucky!"
"Defying the heavens! No wonder I ended up in your hands!" Xiao Qian seemed to be starting to feel happy about falling into Su Yuan's hands!
"I have one too, I have one too!" Xiao Li finally found a chance to interject. "I also have a natural array restriction inside me, and it's similar to Su Yuan's!"
Xiao Qian said in surprise, "You too? Aren't you just a storage equipment? Why would you need a natural array restriction!"
"Hmph! I am a Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Treasure! Do you understand what a Grotto-Heaven is?!"
Xiao Li huffed angrily and directly turned her head and left.
Su Yuan smiled and didn't take it to heart.
He continuously supplied his Divine Sense, and the Soul Nurturing Wood's aura grew stronger and stronger.
This Soul Nurturing Wood was like a long-parched plant encountering sweet rain. Not only did it madly devour Pilgrimage Pill spiritual liquid, Big Dipper starlight, and earth pulse qi, it also madly absorbed Su Yuan's Divine Sense.
After a full hour.
The Soul Nurturing Wood stopped this state. The entire Soul Nurturing Wood grew tenfold in size, increasing from palm-sized to one meter tall. A face resembling Su Yuan's appeared on the trunk, but it was covered in tree patterns.
"This is a hundred-year Soul Nurturing Wood, not a one-year Soul Nurturing Wood! Old Valley Master misjudged!" Su Yuan said with a chuckle.
"Without your large supply, this Soul Nurturing Wood couldn't have recovered to its peak state. Now it has completely integrated your Divine Sense and retained a trace of your Soul within it. If you accidentally fall, this trace of Soul can gradually recover into a complete body, recovering to the Golden Core level of Soul power. Your life-saving ability has gained another layer!" Xiao Qian praised.
Su Yuan also nodded in satisfaction.
This was a life-saving trump card, and Su Yuan naturally wanted more the better. If he could Cultivate it into a thousand-year Soul Nurturing Wood, it could then recover to the Nascent Soul level Soul body, which would be even more perfect, because a Nascent Soul level Soul body is qualified to leave the Soul Nurturing Wood to seize a body and live another life.
Therefore, the value of a fourth-tier thousand-year Soul Nurturing Wood is more than a hundred times higher than a hundred-year one.
Soul Nurturing Wood is extremely rare in the cultivation world. Even a one-year-old Soul Nurturing Wood is not low in value, more than enough to repay Su Yuan's favor of gifting spiritual water.
But now it was a hundred-year Soul Nurturing Wood, which already had initial use value. This was a good item comparable in value to a Natal Magic Treasure.
"Is my Luck this good? I can casually obtain good things from others, but having too many of these karmic ties isn't good."
Su Yuan thought for a moment, his eyes narrowing. "What about karmic ties? As long as my cultivation is high enough, no matter how great the Karma, I can bear it!"
Su Yuan looked calmly at the Soul Nurturing Wood, then turned and returned to the courtyard, calmly drinking tea. In his line of sight, half was occupied by the silver light waterfall in the floating light pot, and the other half was roaming through various scenes in Mind Echo.
While observing the mysteries of heaven and earth, comprehending the Law of Nature and Heavenly Principles, he also observed the myriad states of the world, comprehending the cold reality of human relationships and various experiences. He drank spiritual tea, tasting the sweet and bitter. Countless amounts of qi automatically drilled into his body, transformed into Su Yuan's spiritual power by the natural array restriction, and integrated into his body, Soul, and True Essence.
Every minute and every second, Su Yuan was getting stronger. This was Su Yuan in a state of rest.
After accumulating for a period, his strength could advance by leaps and bounds again!
The Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron was beside Su Yuan, looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Is he cultivating? Comprehending the Dao? Or slacking off? Why does this new master feel particularly strange, but he is truly powerful!"
...
Ten days later.
[Ding, Fame Value +5000]
"Huh?"
Su Yuan woke up in shock and quickly checked the System panel.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Qingke Continent
[Level]: Well-known (89425/10w)
[Realm]: Foundation Establishment Realm Early Stage (70/100): Golden Sand Realm Late Stage
[Entry 1]: "Work-Rest Balance": Current rest time: 22.3 days
[Entry 2]: Law of Nature
[Entry 3]: Seven Stars Shining Brightly
[Entry 4]: Mind Echo
"My heavens, without even noticing, my fame value has increased by about forty thousand, and it's almost at ninety thousand!"
Su Yuan instantly stared at the fame value prompt.
The next moment, Mind Echo instantly descended into a closed-door cultivation room.
Nangong Xianweng spat out a mouthful of saliva with a black line on his face. A trace of a pill's appearance remained in the saliva.
He had a gloomy face and cursed, "This is the pill that can increase the success rate of breaking through any Realm by ten percent? I believed that evil! This is just an ordinary Pilgrimage Pill, just with an extra strange taste! Who is the genius who refined this thing, and who is the genius who spread it to my ears? I actually believed it!"
Nangong Xianweng waved his hand, and the filth before him turned into dust. He chanted an incantation and transmitted his voice to a distance.
Nangong Huoyu rushed over and respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Ancestor!"
"I ask you, who told you before that this kind of pill could increase the Breakthrough success rate?" Nangong Xianweng's hand showed a colorful Pilgrimage Pill.
Nangong Huoyu was surprised and said, "Ah? Ancestor, how did you know?"
Nangong Xianweng's expression stiffened, forgetting that he had been eavesdropping before.
"I'm asking you a question!" Nangong Xianweng glared at her.
"Uh, I heard it from Old Valley Master! He highly recommended this pill, and indeed many Disciples have broken through their Realms with it. Compared to previous data, the success rate has indeed increased by ten percent! Everyone has seen this, and it's not just based on Old Valley Master's words."
Nangong Xianweng's expression was surprised: "Really?"
"Mm, it's true!" Nangong Huoyu nodded.
Nangong Xianweng frowned, feeling that things couldn't be that simple!
He immediately communicated with the Seven Absolutes Sect's Array Spirit.
The Array Spirit immediately appeared and, at Nangong Xianweng's request, re-displayed the scenes that had occurred in the Sect during this period before Nangong Xianweng.
Thousands of images played simultaneously in fast-forward, but Nangong Xianweng watched each one precisely, forming hand seals and calculating, deducing the reasons for the changes during this time.
Gradually, books began to repeatedly appear in the images.
Nangong Xianweng's eyes shone with light, locking onto those books.
"Refining Qi Primer · Su Yuan's Refined Edition"
"Seven Stars Profound Truth Body Tempering Art · Su Yuan's Simplified Edition"
"Seven Stars Profound Truth Soul Tempering Art · Su Yuan's Simplified Edition"
"Array Formation Primer..."
"Rune Primer..."
"Alchemy Primer..."
Book after book gradually condensed into an image of a young man with a calm and gentle smiling face.
Nangong Xianweng fell silent.
Nangong Huoyu was stunned. She seemed to have also understood Nangong Xianweng's deduction results.
She said with a trembling voice, "Could it be that all of this is the effect of Su Yuan's ultimate techniques?"
Nangong Xianweng slowly nodded and said, "That's right. It wasn't that the strange-tasting Pilgrimage Pill had some astonishing effect. Well, you can't say that either; it does have a certain effect on tempering one's mind. But the greater effect lies in Su Yuan's ultimate technique inheritance!"
"He explained in detail from Refining Qi to the Foundation Establishment Realm, providing detailed expositions on various aspects such as body tempering, Soul tempering, Qi Refining, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, array Formations, runes, Spells, sword techniques, and Heavenly Principles. This allowed Disciples who learned his ultimate techniques to be more adept at breaking through Realms."
"So, this is the credit of Su Yuan's ultimate techniques, but it was mistakenly attributed to a pill!"
Nangong Xianweng slowly explained!
"Then I need to tell Old Valley Master. I can't let him spread rumors anymore! I want to clear Su Yuan's name!" Nangong Huoyu immediately said.
"Wait!" Nangong Xianweng shook his head, a light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
"Originally, the proportion of Disciples breaking through Realms in our Sect was not low. An additional ten percent out of nowhere is enough to arouse the vigilance and interest of other Sects. But now with the strange-tasting Pilgrimage Pill, it can undoubtedly mislead other Sects into getting false information, thereby concealing the news of Su Yuan's ultimate techniques. Su Yuan is still very young now; it's not the time to fully expose him."
"This excuse came just right! It can be said to be perfectly timed, wonderfully ingenious!" Nangong Xianweng nodded in satisfaction. "I need to find the Alchemist who refined this kind of pill and have him refine more of them. The timing of this pill's appearance is too good! And Old Valley Master's promotion was also very thorough and timely, just right. Everything is as if it was arranged in advance..."
Nangong Xianweng once again had the Array Spirit show the identity of the Disciple who refined the strange-tasting Pilgrimage Pill.
Then another familiar figure of a young man appeared in their eyes.
It was Su Yuan!
Nangong Xianweng was startled: "It's Su Yuan again? I'm not surprised he can refine flawless Pilgrimage Pills, but what is he doing refining so many flawless Pilgrimage Pills? There's actually an Alchemy room full of them. How many is that?"
In the scene displayed by the Array Spirit, he searched for Old Valley Master's figure, and then he saw the scene of Old Valley Master visiting Su Yuan. Although the situation inside the cave dwelling couldn't be seen, he could see that after Old Valley Master left Su Yuan's cave dwelling, he intensified his promotion, even specifically wandering around other peaks, often saying that he was Su Yuan's mentor.
Everything had a trace to follow.
"This is the Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher! Seeing the truth from the small details, planning for the long term, deep thought, coincidental planning, miraculously crafted! Amazing, truly amazing!" Nangong Xianweng praised repeatedly.
Nangong Huoyu was also amazed repeatedly.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" Nangong Huoyu showed admiration. "I didn't expect Elder Su had already considered things so far ahead! I didn't notice anything at all! I simply couldn't think that deeply!"
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I always feel it's a coincidence? I know Old Valley Master's character a little!"
"Precisely because his character is like this, it's even more seamless! And if it really is a coincidence, then that's even more terrifying!"
Nangong Xianweng said solemnly, "This shows that Su Yuan's Luck is already so strong that he can turn ill fortune into good, turn danger into safety, turn danger into good fortune, add good fortune upon good fortune, and achieve great prosperity! We should have a big drink! Quick, go get me something to eat, I want a roasted chicken, a good-tasting one, to wash away the taste!"
"Uh, okay!" Nangong Huoyu heard this and naturally obeyed Nangong Xianweng's words, although she felt that the Ancestor was just finding another excuse to eat some delicious food.
