Zhou Wuyou actually believed he was a talent in comprehension!
If Zhou Wuyou thought so, what about the sect's higher-ups? What about the Valley Master? What about the other Disciples?
He didn't expect that even though he tried to keep a low profile, he still inadvertently revealed some of his "Genius" nature.
In this way, some smart people should have already guessed that his "comprehension" was excellent, and if combined with Zhou Wuyou's resources, reaching the top fifty wouldn't seem abrupt.
To be honest, Su Yuan was tempted.
The benefits of Outer Sect Disciples were already much better than those of miscellaneous laborers; they didn't have to do chores or heavy work, could receive many benefits, and even had guidance from famous teachers, and so on!
As for the benefits of Inner Sect Disciples, they were naturally even better than Outer Sect Disciples. There were many advantages, few tasks, and plenty of benefits. The single word "Inner" was enough to say it all!
Su Yuan could also Cultivate more stably.
Theoretically, Inner Sect Disciples needed to reach the seventh layer of Refining Qi to apply, and Immortal Seed Valley was the only known shortcut!
Zhou Wuyou saw Su Yuan's hesitation. Hesitation was good; it proved that Su Yuan was also tempted!
He smiled and said, "I'm providing resources to you without any mandatory requirements. Even if you can't enter the Inner Sect in the end, I won't blame you! I can provide you with 25 portions of resources; this is the limit I can obtain in a short time!"
"Aren't you going to strive for it yourself?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.
"Compared to believing in myself, I believe more that you can enter the Inner Sect!" Zhou Wuyou stated with certainty.
"Oh? Why is that?" Su Yuan was a bit surprised.
"When I first started cultivating, I met you once. At that time, I asked you for resources, and you directly refused. I saw strong self-confidence in your eyes then, which I didn't understand."
Zhou Wuyou paused slightly: "Seeing your amazing results today confirmed that you weren't just pretending to be calm, and you were very confident even back then. Just now, after seeing the astonishing performance of the Perfect Spiritual Root, you didn't show much surprise or envy! I knew you weren't simple!"
Su Yuan looked at Zhou Wuyou talking eloquently, then at the admiration in the eyes of the few people behind him. He felt that Zhou Wuyou was a significant person.
"As you said, I can't guarantee it!" Su Yuan said.
Zhou Wuyou said with a relaxed expression, "I understand that point. Man proposes, God disposes!"
Zhou Wuyou waved his hand towards the back.
Immediately, a Disciple stepped forward, holding a box in his hand.
"These are today's 25 portions of resources, please keep them safe!"
Zhou Wuyou handed the box to Su Yuan with both hands.
"No need to sign an agreement?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.
"No need!" Zhou Wuyou stated with certainty.
Su Yuan gave him a deep look and accepted the box.
"This Disciple has been my follower since childhood. You can call him Little Li. Senior Brother Su, if you have anything you need him to handle later, you can instruct him. He lives at number 318, which is not far from your room. If he can't handle it, he will contact me! It definitely won't delay Senior Brother Su's matters!"
"Little Li greets Senior Brother Su!" A thin young man quickly stepped forward.
Su Yuan nodded: "Not needed for now."
"No problem!" Zhou Wuyou smiled slightly.
"Then I'll be going!" Su Yuan said.
"Senior Brother Su, please attend to your matters first!" Zhou Wuyou said.
Su Yuan left, took the box back to his residence first, and then went to the Lecture Hall to attend a class.
Zhou Wuyou, who received the news, had a trace of doubt flash across his face. He wondered if the decision he made was problematic, but since it was already decided, there was nothing to regret.
After Su Yuan finished the class, he returned directly to his room.
At this time, it was still early, but Su Yuan was already sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room.
Su Yuan opened the box, and inside were 25 pieces of fragmented Spirit Stones and 25 bottles of spirit recovery fluid. Added to the six portions of resources he had kept but not used, he now had a total of 31 pieces of fragmented Spirit Stones and 31 bottles of spirit recovery fluid.
These resources didn't mean much to him. If he really wanted to improve, he still had to rely on the cheat!
Su Yuan glanced at the System panel again.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Qingke Continent
[Level]: Unknown (13/100)
[Realm]: Refining Qi Stage One (66/100)
[Entry 1]: """Work-Rest Balance""": You are very good at """Work-Rest Balance""". The longer the rest time, the better the cultivation effect. Current rest time: 6 days 1.1 hours.
Unconsciously, the rest time had reached six days!
Last time with three days of rest, his spiritual power reserve increased by about 260 wisps and he opened two spirit apertures. What would the effect be this time with six days of rest?
"Activate ["""Work-Rest Balance"""]!"
A "ding" sound rang in his mind.
The next moment, Su Yuan's spirit was jolted!
He closed his eyes and entered meditation in one breath. In the darkness, a large number of red, gold, and green light spots appeared around his body.
Then he began circulating his qi.
A full nine wisps of spiritual power were mobilized by Su Yuan, twisted into a single strand, and skillfully drilled into his Meridians like a spirit snake, quickly moving around.
The three-colored qi between heaven and earth was immediately mobilized, surging towards his body at an extremely fast speed, entering his body through various pores, integrating into his Meridians, and entering the qi circulation!
This time, the qi circulation was more relaxed and effortless. Su Yuan even felt like it had become an instinct. He didn't need to spend much mental effort processing it; it naturally operated according to the established path, saving worry and effort!
With a thought, Su Yuan withdrew most of his mental energy from circulating his qi, and then he began to recall the classes he had attended and the books he had read during this period.
A full 32 Lecture Hall classes and the exquisite explanations of a total of 14 Inner Sect Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, including the essentials of cultivating various attribute Cultivation Techniques, precautions during cultivation, and qi circulation techniques, all recalled in Su Yuan's mind and began to be rapidly and thoroughly understood.
The 500 books he had read in the Library Pavilion also came back to his mind. Countless fragmented cultivation knowledge was extracted from them, cross-referenced with the classes taught by the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. Gradually, Su Yuan's understanding of the Refining Qi Realm rapidly increased!
Qi circulation had become an instinct. Once completed, it continued again. Su Yuan didn't deliberately pay attention to it.
He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, comprehending the path of cultivation over and over again.
By the time he had completely grasped the cultivation essentials of the past few days, four hours had already passed!
A bright light flashed in Su Yuan's eyes. Coming back to his senses, he sensed the situation within his Dantian.
Su Yuan was surprised to find that the total amount of spiritual power in his Dantian had reached 2620 wisps!
"How did this happen?" Su Yuan marveled.
Then he watched as a new cycle of qi circulation ended. One cycle of qi circulation only took a quarter of an hour!
The extra spiritual power brought back was as high as 81 wisps! This completely broke through Su Yuan's previous guess that the surrounding qi limit was 40 wisps.
Immediately after, a new cycle of qi circulation began to operate.
However, this time, Su Yuan began to personally control the qi circulation. The cultivation insights he had gained from four hours of comprehension began to feedback into the "Burning Wood Forging Spirit Art".
He saw that the nine wisps of spiritual power in his Dantian, during their operation and under Su Yuan's control, changed form again.
From the form of colorful ribbons, it transformed into a fiery golden python. Inside the python's body were "flesh and blood" composed of green wood-attribute spiritual power, "blood" of fire-attribute spiritual power, and gold-attribute spiritual power shaping the python's outer skin, forming a golden-red, agile snake that rapidly moved through the Dantian.
Wherever it passed, it instantly inhaled countless amounts of qi into the Meridians with its open mouth. During the process of qi circulation, it naturally completed the "digestion" and transformed it into a part of the spirit python!
The "Burning Wood Forging Spirit Art" seemed to have gained life at this moment, making Su Yuan feel mesmerized.
When the qi circulation ended and returned to the Dantian, the spirit python dispersed, forming 108 wisps of spiritual power. Excluding the initial nine wisps of spiritual power, one cultivation session increased his spiritual power by 99 wisps!
His total spiritual power reached 2719 wisps!
"Breakthrough!"
With a thought, Su Yuan mobilized a total of 360 wisps of spiritual power, forming a spirit python again. It plunged into the Meridians, followed the path of the previously opened spirit apertures, reached the third spirit aperture, and drilled in without hesitation.
Once the spirit python entered the spirit aperture, it began to "stir up rivers and seas". As it continuously moved, the spirit aperture was gradually opened and expanded, forming a stable spirit aperture!
The speed at which it opened was twice as fast as before, and Su Yuan also felt that the consumption of spiritual power had decreased.
After opening the spirit aperture, he used spiritual power to connect the first three spirit apertures again, forming a stable structure. Once it was completely stable.
The small spiritual power snake dispersed, transforming back into 80 wisps of spiritual power that returned to the Dantian. The actual consumption was surprisingly only 280 wisps!
"Refining Qi Stage One Peak!" Su Yuan thought to himself.
His current achievement directly surpassed the best achievement among Middle-Grade Spiritual Roots.
Su Yuan naturally had no intention of stopping.
He began his Breakthrough again!
The fourth spirit aperture also broke through under his easy control, consuming 532 wisps of spiritual power. His control over spiritual power had become a bit more refined.
After recovering some mental energy, Su Yuan opened the fifth spirit aperture!
Consuming 1007 wisps of spiritual power!
This kind of achievement had already surpassed the first place among High Grade Spiritual Roots.
Su Yuan's mental energy was almost exhausted at this point. Although there was still an hour of time left, his spirit was already listless!
"Looks like I need to find a method to increase spiritual sense!" Su Yuan thought to himself, then sat cross-legged and entered a state of sleep.
Meanwhile, in his body, the qi circulation continued as if by instinct.
Only after an hour, when he exited the entry state, did the Cultivation Technique's operation return to normal.
Early morning.
Su Yuan slowly woke up, feeling completely clear and refreshed. The five spirit apertures in his body were constantly generating spiritual power, nourishing his Physical Body as well. His five senses were strengthened again, and his Physique was also improving!
When he walked to the courtyard, he heard noise coming from outside.
Su Yuan frowned, hearing Zhang Wei's voice among the noise.
He opened the door in confusion and saw Zhang Wei wrestling with several other Disciples. Zhang Wei was clearly at a disadvantage, having been punched several times and kicked repeatedly!
Su Yuan's sharp eyes spotted a Disciple lying on the ground and wailing. That person seemed to be a Disciple who had traded with Zhang Wei!
In the surrounding houses, people were also peeking out and watching, but had no intention of intervening!
At this moment, Su Yuan basically guessed what had happened. Zhang Wei's performance yesterday still stimulated the interests of some Disciples. Zhang Wei's rapid Breakthrough was partly due to transactions. Some Disciples probably wanted to affect Zhang Wei's improvement by obstructing or intercepting the transactions.
Su Yuan took two steps forward, ready to intervene.
Zhang Wei heard the door of Su Yuan's room open and heard footsteps, guessing it was Su Yuan. He shouted, "Su Yuan, don't come over, I'll handle this myself!"
The answer to him was several thudding sounds.
Zhang Wei was stunned, only to see that his opponents were already rolling and wailing on the ground at some point!
Zhang Wei raised his head and saw that Su Yuan was already standing in front of him at some point, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression.
Zhang Wei watched this scene in disbelief. Needless to say, Su Yuan had helped him in that instant!
But just now, he only felt his eyes blur, and then the people fell? What happened?
