Now, Su Yu only needs less than six hours a day to cultivate the Wutong Qingmu Jue to its limits. The rest of his leisure time is spent learning about medicinal properties with Su Changyu, distinguishing spiritual medicines, and practicing techniques and spells for body refinement.
If there’s more free time in the future, there’s no saying he wouldn’t cultivate this water attribute technique and spell.
Perhaps for other cultivators, being a jack of all trades and master of none could be a bad thing.
However, for him who possesses a proficiency panel and the balanced five elements spiritual root, having many skills would only be beneficial.
“Cultivators can live longer. As long as they remain patient and prudent, they could potentially live thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years. Perhaps I could even become a ‘Hexagon War God’.” Su Yu longed for this and could not help but fantasize about such a future.
As for problems like spiritual root bottlenecks or talent for comprehension?
There are no bottlenecks when it comes to the proficiency panel.
As long as he gradually accumulated proficiency, his desire for longevity wouldn’t be hard to achieve. And as long as he could live longer, he would be able to realize his fantasy of being a ‘Hexagon War God’.
Having looked at the Xuan Shui Jue and Xuan She Fa, Su Yu put them away for the time being. He then picked up the jade bottle and looked at the three Qi Refinement Pills inside.
“Good stuff. I just wonder how effective it is?” Su Yu was somewhat expectant. He’d never consumed these before.
He put the items away, planning to use them in his cultivation session the next day.
Next up, Su Yu went to the courtyard to practice body refinement.
Ever since breaking through to the fourth layer of the “Crocodile Demon 108 Physical Training Techniques”, the progress of his body refinement had begun to slow down.
Part of it was due to the increasing difficulty of advancing to higher levels, and part of it was because the mid-stage beast essence blood of the first level wasn’t of much help to his current body refinement practice.
He could increase his proficiency by about 0.2% through his steady daily practice of body refinement.
Perhaps only the beast essence blood of a late-stage first level beast could accelerate the advancement of his body refinement technique.
However, obtaining the essence blood of a late-stage first level beast is not easy.
At least it couldn’t be found in the medicinal gardens or River City.
He might have to go to the trading market under Yunjian Sect to buy it, and it definitely wouldn’t come cheap.
“Just take it slowly.”
While Su Yu was practicing his body refinement technique, a strong aura suddenly approached the Su Residence, followed by an angry roar, “Su Peng, hand over the murderer who killed Lin Xiu, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Su Yu’s body immediately froze upon hearing this, his expression showing surprise.
Was it the Elder of the Lin Family?
Lin Xiu?
Was it the attacker he had just killed?
“They had the audacity to attack me, I killed them in self-defense, and now their family has the guts to come to my doorstep, hmph.” Su Yu was quietly furious in his heart and made a mental note of this offense.
The visitor was the Fourth Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Hai. The one that was killed, Lin Xiu, was his grandson.
Even though Lin Xiu’s talent wasn’t exceptional, he was one of the only three descendants in Lin Hai’s family with a spiritual root talent and the ability to cultivate.
Thus, Lin Xiu, at the third level of Qi Refinement, could strut around with fifteen low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of unfinished Qi Refinement Pills.
Now, Lin Hai had brought a group of cultivators from the Lin Family to block the Su Family’s gate.
However, not long after, a lazy voice came from behind them.
“Little Hai, as soon as I step out for a bit, you dare to bring people to my Su Family’s doorstep?”
Lin Hai’s face turned slightly pale upon hearing this voice. He turned around to see Su Bin, the Fifth Elder of the Su clan, smiling and walking toward him through the crowd of cultivators from the Lin family.
Lin Hai was older than Su Bin, so hearing Su Bin call him “Little Hai” irritated him, so he snapped back, “Su Bin, your Su Family dared to kill my grandson, this matter isn’t over!”
“Oh.”
Su Bin, seemingly unbothered, passed by Lin Hai, pushed him aside, and stood in front of the Su Family gate. Only then did he turn around and look at Lin Hai.
“Oh yeah, I forgot to ask who killed your grandson. I should reward him.”
Lin Hai’s face turned grim as he stared coldly at Su Bin without uttering a word.
Upon seeing this, Su Bin seemed taken aback and said, “What? You don’t even know who killed your grandson?”
“Then why the hell are you blocking my door!”
Enraged, Su Bin pointed at Lin Hai and shouted, “Get the hell out, or I’ll kill you. Screw you, any trash dares to block my Su Family’s gate.”
“Hmph.”
Lin Hai wasn’t angry but only shot a cold glance at the Su residence before leading his group away.
Blocking the door was not an act of self-humiliation, but a stance set by the Lin Family.
This matter was far from over!
So, Lin Hai didn’t really intend to make a move, but turned around and led his people away instead.
Su Bin watched Lin Hai and his people leave, and his eyes narrowed once again. A biting dog does not bark, the fact that Lin Hai did not make a move implies that the Lin Family is plotting something bigger.
When they truly make a move, the Su Family might face serious trouble.
‘Hmph, not every Tom, Dick and Harry can take a bite out of the Su Family. If they truly dare to act, they’ll have to pay the price.’
Su Bin turned around and entered the Su mansion.
Inside the courtyard.
Su Yu, observing the scene with his divine sense, couldn’t help but marvel inwardly: ‘The Fifth Elder is indeed fierce, scaring away so many people from the Lin Family.’
The next morning.
As the sun rose to the east, in the courtyard, Su Yu swallowed a Qi Refinement pill. Instantly, a rich wave of spiritual energy permeated his entire body, making him feel incredibly comfortable.
‘The spiritual energy is still mainly of the wood attribute, which is easily refined into the mana of the Phoenix Facedowndra Technique.’ Su Yu was pleasantly surprised.
Afterwards, he immersed himself in cultivation.
Two hours later, Su Yu woke up.
He looked at the proficiency panel with concentration and was taken aback: ‘Has the proficiency of Phoenix Facedowndra Technique increased by 0.52%?’
If he had a Qi Refinement Pill to aid his cultivation every day, wouldn’t he be able to break through to the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm within half a year?
His speed had increased more than twofold.
However…
Taking a Qi Refinement Pill every day would be too extravagant.
Even if it was Su Zhi, who had entered the Yunjian Sect, she wouldn’t have such luxurious cultivation resources.
After the astonishment, Su Yu shook his head and said: “Slow accumulation of proficiency sounds more suitable for me.”
After all, he had the proficiency panel and there were no bottlenecks.
Comparatively, his cultivation speed was not slow, especially as he advanced further, the advantage of having no bottleneck would become more apparent.
Others would be stuck at a bottleneck for several years, decades or even centuries, while he could advance steadily.
How could they compare?
Quieting his mind, Su Yu continued to cultivate his body refinement technique and spell.
On the second day of Su Yu’s return, Su Qingyi got news of his arrival and went out of his way to invite him over.
Upon seeing Su Qingyi, Su Yu was taken aback once again.
He had just heard that Su Qingyi had been seriously injured in an ambush by the Lin Family and should technically still be in recovery.
How did he manage to reach the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm in just a month at home?
Seeing Su Yu’s surprised look, Su Qingyi smiled lightly: “Do you remember the ancient jade box that the Fifth Elder had? I got a bit of an opportunity.”
Su Yu: “…”
What the hell.
He didn’t know how to describe his feelings. How could such a ‘pay-to-win’ jade box give Su Qingyi an opportunity with just a low-grade spirit stone?
His luck was just too good.
He felt a bit envious, but it was just that, plus he congratulated Su Qingyi.
After all, compared to the so-called opportunity from the jade box, Su Yu didn’t believe there was any other opportunity that could compare to his proficiency panel.
After chatting for a while, Su Qingyi added: “Oh, and the young miss will be back in a few days. Let’s see if the three of us can get together again.”
“Okay.”
Su Yu had no objections. After all, they had all participated in the Yunjian Sect’s entry disciple test together in the past.
It would be good to meet up. He also wanted to get some information about the outside world from Su Zhi.
Like the Yunjian Sect, or the market town under the control of the Yunjian Sect.
