Watching the backs of the two leaving, Su Yuan could only bless them in his heart.
The two were still going to explore.
They were different from Su Yuan; they had to fight for their future, while Su Yuan was someone with a cheat, which destined everyone to go their separate ways.
"I hope they can return safely!" Su Yuan sighed.
The art of deduction was not omnipotent; if one truly believed the deduction results, they might even lose their lives!
Little Cai swam out from the bottom of the lake, blowing bubbles with her mouth open, her big eyes staring blankly at Su Yuan.
"Hungry again?" Su Yuan's expression stiffened.
Little Cai nodded her little head.
Su Yuan was speechless, he threw out Spirit Stones and gave some to Little Cai to eat.
Little Cai immediately happily ate the Spirit Stones.
As Little Cai ate the Spirit Stones, the Mysterious True Qi within Su Yuan's body also continuously emerged.
Su Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He thought of the Origin Pool; if he cultivated continuously inside, it would definitely interrupt his rest time, but if Little Cai went inside to Cultivate, wouldn't that perfectly utilize the pure spiritual energy within?
Moreover, it could also save the Spirit Stones used to feed Little Cai!
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and Su Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at Little Cai.
Little Cai sensed Su Yuan's burning gaze and raised her fish head in confusion.
She clearly misunderstood something and reluctantly pushed one of the Spirit Stones back to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan watched her fiercely guard the remaining dozen or so Spirit Stones, her protective eating posture making Su Yuan chuckle.
"Get ready, later we're going to a good place, you'll definitely be able to eat your fill!"
Su Yuan thought about what else he needed to prepare, vaguely feeling that he had forgotten something, but for the moment, he couldn't recall it at all.
"That's right, my things are all packed, and there's nothing left at the cave dwelling. How long have I even been in the Sect? I'll go find Little Li to play after she reaches Foundation Establishment. What else is left?"
Su Yuan finally remembered: "Oh, that shop in the market... it seems I instructed Song Cai to hand it over to Niu Bin, so there's nothing to worry about! And this won't affect me, maybe I can even accumulate some reputation points."
Su Yuan glanced at the System panel and found that he still needed two thousand reputation points to level up. Su Yuan was very calm and was not in a hurry to force it; when he broke through to Foundation Establishment, he would definitely be able to meet the upgrade requirements.
"Let's go!"
Su Yuan summoned the fish tank, put Little Cai and the 49 spirit fish all into it, and then headed in the direction of the Origin Pool.
On the other side.
Seven Absolutes Market.
Inside the [Su Yuan Artifact Forging] shop.
Niu Bin was sweating profusely as he received the endless stream of customers.
"Is this the shop opened by Senior Brother Su?"
"That's right, I specifically asked a relative to inquire at the market, and it is indeed a shop that Senior Brother Su personally went to handle the procedures for opening!"
"This is a shop opened by Senior Brother Su Yuan, the first place winner of the Inner Sect Competition, who defeated inner Sect prodigies across Realms, tsk tsk tsk, I'll also come and bask in Senior Brother Su's talent!"
"A shop opened by Senior Brother Su definitely has guaranteed quality and fair prices."
The brothers Song Cai and Song Qian were also busy in the shop, and the low-level attendants they hired were also hurriedly taking goods, picking up goods, and delivering goods.
It was too popular!
It was truly too popular!
Su Yuan's sudden rise caused a huge stir among the Disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect, and the Cultivators from small forces and rogue Cultivators living in the Seven Absolutes Market who relied on the Seven Absolutes Sect for survival were naturally even more curious about Su Yuan.
And Su Yuan's only industry naturally entered the sight of all the cultivators; even if only a small portion of Cultivators came to take a look out of curiosity, it would make the shop extremely crowded.
Song Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down on a chair to rest for a moment, and sighed: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Su told us to stop selling low-level items, otherwise our shop would have been directly swamped!"
"This is Senior Brother Su, his vision and planning are not that simple! You need to learn more, see more, and think more!" Song Cai came over and patted Song Qian's shoulder, saying.
"Got it, brother!" Song Qian nodded.
"Mm, the shop here is really too popular, Senior Brother Niu Bin, do you have any ideas?" Song Cai then looked at Niu Bin.
Niu Bin also walked over and said doubtfully: "What ideas could I have? I'm just an Outer Sect Disciple!"
"Senior Brother Su asked you to come here and manage the shop, I think there must be a reason! Think carefully." Song Cai asked.
Hearing this, Niu Bin fell into deep thought.
Thoughts raced through his mind one by one, and suddenly, Niu Bin hesitated: "The only thing I can think of is opening branch stores!"
Song Cai was startled: "Is that possible?"
Niu Bin nodded and said: "Actually, this shop was jointly set up by me and Senior Brother Su, and I also have the right to open more shops with the same name based on this one, so opening branch stores is not a problem!"
Song Cai suddenly understood upon hearing this and said: "Now that you say that, I understand. The matter of opening branch stores really must be done by you, Senior Brother Niu Bin! It's just..."
Niu Bin asked doubtfully: "Just what?"
"It's just that, after all, this is earning Spirit Stones by borrowing Senior Brother's reputation, so you can't take the lion's share of the profits, Senior Brother! I hope you understand!"
Song Cai said this very directly. It wouldn't have been appropriate for Su Yuan to say these words, but for Song Cai to say them, there was no problem.
Niu Bin immediately said: "I naturally understand; being able to follow Senior Brother Su, how could I dare to ask for too much? I'm already content just being able to work under Senior Brother Su!"
Only then did Song Cai's expression soften as he said: "Since that's the case, let's arrange for another store to operate in the Seven Absolutes Market. This time, let's arrange for a larger one. We have sources of goods from the Zhang family, the Zhou family, and our Song family, as well as low-price consignment from a large number of Seven Absolutes Sect Disciples. We don't lack goods, and with Senior Brother's reputation, we won't worry about selling. This way, Senior Brother Su's industry will quickly rise!"
Song Qian immediately asked: "Brother, should we open branch stores in other markets?"
Song Cai immediately shook his head and said: "Don't make decisions on your own. It's fine for us to open a branch store in the Seven Absolutes Market; Senior Brother Su originally intended for us to be responsible for the shops here. But if we go to other markets, we definitely have to report to Senior Brother Su. We'll report this matter to Senior Brother later."
After the three confirmed this point, Niu Bin took the Spirit Stones provided by Song Cai and hurried to the market management office to rent a shop.
...
The ninth mountain behind the main peak.
Su Yuan cautiously made his way to a stone valley within a peak.
After arriving here, he felt that the spiritual energy here was indeed very abundant, not much different from the concentration of spiritual energy within a third-tier cave dwelling. And this was just the outside!
"What are you doing? This is a forbidden area!" A shout startled Su Yuan.
Then he saw a bald man on a stone pillar staring at him.
Su Yuan took out his True Disciple token and injected spiritual power to activate it.
"I am True Disciple Su Yuan, here to use the Origin Pool!" Su Yuan immediately said.
"Oh, it's you!" The bald strong man nodded and said, "Then go in!"
"Aren't you going to check, Elder?" Su Yuan asked curiously.
"I'm just the doorkeeper," the strong man said. "There's an array here, connected to the Sect-protecting grand array. It will automatically detect and deduct your usage time."
"Oh! I understand! Thank you, Elder!" Su Yuan cupped his hands and bowed.
The strong man curled his lip: "I'm not an Elder!"
Saying this, the strong man rolled on the spot, transformed into a green ox, jumped onto the grass not far away, and began to eat grass.
Su Yuan was startled, his expression slightly strange.
He glanced at the green ox repeatedly.
The green ox rolled its eyes at him, then snorted loudly, and then continued to leisurely eat the spiritual grass.
Su Yuan noticed that that entire area was actually spiritual grass, and it was clearly artificially planted, but the one who planted it was definitely not that ox; it should have been Sect Disciples who came here to plant and manage it as a task.
Su Yuan still cupped his hands towards him and then walked towards the center of the stone valley.
After Su Yuan was out of sight, the green ox muttered: "This old ox, Niu Laosan, has really seen something today. A treasure land like the Origin Pool is even being used by a little Cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. Although he won't be able to use much, this is the first time I've seen someone at the Qi Refinement Realm go in. What kind of background does this kid have? So wild? Should I make friends with him? Forget it, he's only at Qi Refinement, I'll think about it later."
The green ox didn't pay any attention to Su Yuan, it really couldn't bring itself to pay attention; the Disciples who planted for it were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so a Qi Refinement kid was really hard to notice.
Su Yuan entered the valley, and nine paths extended within.
Five of the paths were shown as being in use and closed, with only the other four open.
Su Yuan cautiously walked towards one of the unused paths.
He wasn't afraid of danger here, but was worried about not being able to bring Little Cai and the others in.
When he reached the middle of a path, a wave of array fluctuation immediately swept over his body.
The next moment, his True Disciple token lit up, displaying the words "Nine years, eleven months, twenty-nine days, 11 hours." Then, a white light spread from the True Disciple token to Su Yuan, giving Su Yuan a tag similar to "Approved."
The white light on Su Yuan's body extended a thin line, connected to the fish tank artifact, and then connected to Little Cai's body.
Little Cai twisted her body in confusion, looking doubtfully at her tail that had turned white.
Subsequently, the white light on the Nine-Colored Heavenly Immortal Fish dispersed into 49 even finer white lights, connecting to the 49 spirit fish.
Watching this scene, Su Yuan smiled slightly, it seemed it had worked!
Su Yuan immediately walked forward, carefully watching the situation in the fish tank.
As expected, the array did not restrict their entry.
After Su Yuan entered, this path also showed a state of being in use and closed.
Su Yuan walked all the way to the end and actually saw a pool a hundred meters long and wide!
The stones around the pool were a single, large piece of milky-white Spirit Stone. Based on its appearance, it was at least a High-Grade Spirit Stone. Su Yuan gasped in spiritual energy; he immediately walked over to observe and found that it had been sealed by an array, making it impossible to absorb directly.
And looking at the pool again, what was inside was actually liquid flowing spiritual energy!
Su Yuan said in surprise: "Such astonishing spiritual liquid!"
He took out a container and tried to scoop some out, and as expected, he failed.
Su Yuan shrugged and didn't mind. He looked at Little Cai and the 49 spirit fish; they were now showing an extremely active state.
Little Cai even opened her fish mouth and breathed in large gulps, the spiritual energy rising from the Origin Pool was drawn into her body by her breathing.
Within Su Yuan's own body, Mysterious True Qi also began to gradually appear.
The effect was indeed present!
Plan accomplished!
