Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Setting Out for the Future, An Invitation from Jiang Qingwei

A family of three, having breakfast.

Su Qi glanced at his sister, who was absent-mindedly poking at her rice with a pout, and couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

Actually, his sister has experienced some changes too.

Apart from the deep cleansing her body received, which is immensely beneficial to her future.

If observed carefully, her external demeanor has also improved.

Only her boisterous personality easily ruins that demeanor, making it harder to notice.

Also,

Because Su Duoduo already has quite good looks, compared to the significant changes in their parents, she naturally doesn't stand out as much.

Not to mention,

Now, after Su Qi's awakening, his appearance and aura have risen by several tiers.

One thing leads to another.

Su Duoduo feels abandoned by the miracle.

While having breakfast and scrolling on his phone, Su Qi only then realized that he had caused such a commotion last night.

The slow healing encompassing the whole city brought big and small benefits to many people.

For a moment, it was hailed as a miracle across the city!

This led to various factions competing for attention and the whole city buzzing with discussion.

Even some people started making far-fetched connections, attributing strange occurrences to the miracle.

For example,

"My old sow at home gave birth to 20 piglets last night, half more than before; if this isn't a miracle, what is!?"

"Hmph, no wonder, last night my husband unusually fussed over me for ten minutes, hoping such miracles happen every day."

...

Looking at these seemingly factual comments, Su Qi's face turned dark, and he cried out internally.

Stop spreading rumors!

My ability doesn't have that kind of effect!

Overall, nowadays,

Anything could be considered a miracle.

As long as any bit of good fortune happens, it must be attributed to the miracle.

Even in the class group, some newly awakened classmates attribute their elixir-induced realm advancement to the miracle.

For a moment,

Miracle became the sole buzzword of the day.

While amazed at the powerful state of God's Favored One, Su Qi couldn't help but become wary.

With such widespread attention due to its popularity, from now on when using slow healing, he needs to manage its range.

He can't cause such a big commotion again.

Although now, if he steps forward to claim the 'miracle', it would undoubtedly cause an earthquake and instantly make him the apple of many factions' eyes.

But that's not what he wants.

Even though he's currently lacking resources.

In the past, Su Qi rejected many olive branches extended by various factions.

One reason is his personality.

The other reason is his findings from investigations: almost all common transcendent recruited and nurtured by various factions experience explosive growth initially due to a wealth of resources.

The later stages, however, diminish their uniqueness among the masses.

Although it's part of the transcendent path, increasingly difficult as one progresses.

But Su Qi saw another perspective.

These major powers love to uncover potential transcendent seedlings to expand their strength.

But who can guarantee that after pouring resources into nurturing them, they won't betray?

The most trustworthy, undoubtedly, are family members with the same bloodline!

Therefore,

For any common transcendent aiming for the highest peak.

Joining a big family or conglomerate would largely impose a form of shackles that constrain oneself.

Of course,

Had he not acquired the ability as God's Favored One yet, Su Qi, as a support role, would naturally choose to join a faction.

But... things are different now.

Even without joining any faction, with his current advancement speed, just getting certified by the Extraordinary Guild would likely yield abundant resource rewards.

After breakfast, Su Duoduo greeted them and dashed out to school.

Su Qi helped tidy up the dishes.

Then continued browsing through the phone group chat, constantly planning his future path.

The group he was browsing is formed by newly awakened transcendent at school, convenient for their communication.

Besides discussing miracles,

there was also news from some classmates.

For example, Zhang Chao awakened the Mechanical Path and chose to pursue further studies, securing a special admission slot from a university.

Chen Yaqing, a top genius, also joined a powerful faction.

Additionally,

Some transcendents who weren't noticed by major powers also began spontaneously forming small groups, preparing to go to the wilderness to hunt fierce beasts, strengthening themselves.

Quite a few people also invited Su Qi.

Considering his good rapport at school.

Even though in his classmates' eyes, his current strength might seem like a burden.

Now just after graduating school, even if some are realistic, they still formally offer him invitations.

Su Qi politely declined each one.

He's not in a rush to venture into the wilderness.

Now possessing God's Favored One ability, he feels it's safer to first improve his realm.

While he could target some low-level fierce beasts for training, in the wilderness, a Xiuluo Scene, you might just finish slaying a Tier One Beast and a Level Eight Fierce Beast jumps out behind you.

At this moment, perhaps Jiang Qingwei is watching his messages.

She sent Su Qi a private message: "Su Qi, in a couple of days I might leave the Ninth District for a while, any chance you can accompany me to the wilderness… for a stroll."

Su Qi replied to inquire.

Finding out that Jiang Qingwei's talent was valued by a Destruction Level elder in the Holy City Jiang Family, who wants to personally mentor her for a while, only she hasn't responded yet.

Just a few simple words.

Su Qi already guessed Jiang Qingwei's thoughts.

Roughly she wants to give Su Qi a hand before leaving.

However, Su Qi didn't want to delay her.

Transcendent cultivation mostly relies on personal comprehension, there isn't yet a proven nurturing path.

Yet Destruction Level strong ones are different.

They're beyond the top combat power of the Ninth District.

Such powerful beings, just a little guidance could save low-level transcendents much detouring.

So, Su Qi sent a message in reply: "Ah this, how dare I take Jiang Family's treasure into the wilderness, probably won't even leave the Ninth District before being surrounded by countless Jiang Family experts."

Given the current importance Jiang Family places on Jiang Qingwei.

Though it sounds exaggerated, it's actually not far off.

"Nonsense, at most they'll send experts to secretly protect."

"Better not, if I lose the Jiang Family's future Female Sword Immortal, I can't afford to compensate."

"Besides, I currently have no plans to enter the wilderness, better to improve my realm first and consider later, don't worry about me, focus on cultivation, and when you return we'll sweep through the wilderness together."

"Hmph, chasing me away huh, tired of me after three years huh…"

"No… really not…"

"Aren't you going to see me off?"

"Uh, alright, I'll see you off."

"Okay, it's settled then, see you at Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall in five days."

...

Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall?

The most famous high-end restaurant in the Ninth District, reputedly its dishes are mainly made with fierce beast meat, complemented with various rare heavenly and earthly treasures.

Not only can it directly enhance ordinary body constitution and prolong life.

Some high-level dishes, their effects even rival some elixirs, tremendously aiding transcendent cultivation.

Just that it's priced exorbitantly.

Tsk tsk…

Su Qi immediately saw through this girl's little schemes, probably wanting to use the excuse of a farewell to help buff his foundation.

Still, how could Su Qi let her pay?

If it were a normal day, such an indulgent treat he'd naturally accept without hesitation.

But now he's seeing Jiang Qingwei off, paying himself seems more appropriate.

Fortunately, this expense is still manageable for him.

After all.

Having swept up various scholarships in the school over three years, he has savings exceeding a million.

Originally intended to use this money to improve family living conditions, only strongly opposed by his parents.

As parents, naturally they want to ensure their child can go further.

How could they hold back the child during the crucial starting phase?
