Su Yuan tore off half of the at chunk and tossed it to Little Cai.
Little Cai happily flicked her fish tail and swallowed the at in one gulp.
"Sister Li, open the door quickly! I need to go into seclusion!" Little Cai urgently called out.
A spatial portal materialized out of thin air.
Little Cai dove straight into it.
As the portal vanished, Little Cai disappeared without a trace.
Soon after, streams of pure energy suddenly appeared within Su Yuan's body, rapidly spreading throughout his entire being.
He imdiately felt his magical power surging at an astonishing rate.
To his surprise, Little Cai's refinent speed of the flesh was dozens of tis faster than absorbing spirit stones!
Xiao Ju gazed longingly at the remaining at.
Su Yuan chuckled helplessly, "You can't handle this at—it would explode you instantly!"
Xiao Ju showed a disappointed expression.
"But with so processing, it should be edible! Well, maybe just a sip of the broth at most."
As he spoke, Su Yuan summoned the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron, which instantly transford into a giant cooking pot. After tossing in the at chunk, he instructed Old Qian, "Help stew this, would you?"
Old Qian sighed, "Such a laborious fate!"
Su Yuan rolled his eyes, "Don't worry, you'll get to taste so good treasures eventually!"
Old Qian then asked curiously, "What's the deal with this at? How did it appear out of nowhere?"
Su Yuan smiled faintly, "This at... fell from the sky!"
He pointed upward.
Old Qian scoffed, "You can fool Little Cai with that, but why bother lying to ?"
He went off to tend to the stew.
Su Yuan was speechless—he had told the truth! Wasn't the Immortal Realm essentially the "sky"? at from the Immortal Realm literally fell from above.
Just then, Xiao Lan brought out a table full of dishes.
"Master, please enjoy your al!" Xiao Lan said eagerly, her eyes curiously drifting toward the simring at broth, its rich aroma making her swallow hard.
"Excellent work!"
Su Yuan surveyed the spread—the large plate of chicken, roasted goose, spirit vegetables, and a jug of spirit wine—and nodded approvingly. "You've done well, Xiao Lan."
Xiao Lan grinned triumphantly, shooting a challenging glance at Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju continued massaging Su Yuan's shoulders, ignoring her.
As he ate, Su Yuan pondered deeply.
He hadn't expected the combined effects of the [World Traveler], [Mind Echo], and [Seven Stars Shine Bright] traits to actually enable cross-world item teleportation!
Another attempt confird that within this world, item teleportation didn't work because the [World Traveler] trait couldn't activate.
This seed absurd, but it highlighted how system traits functioned like absolute rules—either they worked or they didn't.
Su Yuan's mind buzzed with possibilities. With seven true dragons assisting him, he could frequently visit the Immortal Realm and bring back resources to accelerate his cultivation!
He could literally sit at ho while treasures rained from the heavens.
However, the seven dragons were confined to their territories, limiting the resources they could provide.
The Immortal Realm was too advanced—even the pre-immortal stages were condensed into just four realms. His current strength would barely place him in the second-lowest tier there.
Deep in thought, Su Yuan wondered how to make beings from other worlds invoke his na, allowing him to manifest there and harvest more resources—and more importantly, fa points.
He gazed at the sky, where the Big Dipper constellation caught his eye again.
"Both the Immortal Origin Realm and Tianyuan Realm can see the Big Dipper... if other worlds share this feature... then perhaps there's a way!"
Su Yuan knew many star cultivators across worlds used the Big Dipper as their focal constellation.
These cultivators could derive revelations through stellar divination.
If he embedded cultivation techniques within the Big Dipper's light, would star cultivators in other worlds receive these transmissions? And if they chanted specific invocations, could they activate his [Mind Echo]?
He recalled when Elder Nangong Xianweng sought the Big Dipper's approval—his consciousness had inexplicably traveled to the constellation.
Could he have imprinted techniques there at that ti?
"Celestial legacies from the stars... where every utterance is known... outer gods invading, collecting offerings and bestowing boons..." Su Yuan muttered, his expression turning slightly odd.
Unintentionally, this was veering into peculiar territory.
"Damn it, I just want resources and fa points!"
He'd considered how ranking up his fa in the Immortal Realm might work, but gaining recognition there was difficult. Other worlds might prove easier and more controllable.
"Even if they mistake for so evil god—so what? Can they cross worlds to confront ? This could actually work!"
Turning his thoughts to the Scripture Pavilion, he realized, "Gu You, Zhuge Jian, and the others should have t the stellar acknowledgnt criteria by now."
With a ntal command, he summoned Su Da.
"Bring Gu You, Xie Yingying, Zhuge Jian, and Nangong Huoyu here," Su Yuan instructed.
Su Da bowed, "At once, Master."
Carrying Su Yuan's token, Su Da left Cave #6 for the first ti since gaining human form, happily exploring the sect grounds.
Disciples stared curiously at this unfamiliar Golden Core expert until they noticed his token—this was actually a spirit beast?!
At the Scripture Pavilion, Su Da sensed a familiar aura and followed it to a young cultivator.
Gu You, who had been ditating on Su Yuan's techniques, was startled when the spirit fish in his pocket stirred.
Taking it out, he saw it looking astonished at the approaching figure.
Gu You imdiately bowed, "Greetings, Elder!"
Su Da waved dismissively, "I'm no elder—just Master's spirit companion. Or perhaps attendant?"
Noticing the fish, he greeted, "Thirteenth Brother! You've reached second rank? How are the others?"
The fish replied, "Second Brother! You broke through to third rank?! What about our siblings?"
Su Da smiled, "I'm Su Da now. With Master's pills, I reached third rank. Four others did too, and the rest are nearing breakthrough!"
The fish was stunned, "All of them?! So fast?!"
Su Da sighed, "You... Master's resources are endless. Why did you leave? You're still only early second rank with impure bloodlines. Where are the others?"
The fish fell silent.
Realizing this Golden Core expert was one of Su Yuan's transford spirit fish—Thirteenth's elder brother no less—Gu You felt guilty.
Thirteenth had sacrificed so much by staying with him!
"You needed for sothing?" Gu You asked respectfully, comforting the despondent fish.
Su Da said flatly, "Master summons Gu You, Xie Yingying, Zhuge Jian, and Nangong Huoyu. You're Gu You? Fetch the others."
Gu You nodded and used his token to call the three.
When they arrived, all three paid respects to Su Da, who remained unimpressed. Noticing Xie Yingying's spirit fish, he sighed again.
"Follow ."
With a wave, Su Da conjured a cloud that carried all four toward Cave #6.
While Zhuge Jian and Nangong Huoyu were unfazed, the two spirit fish were awestruck by Su Da's prowess.
(Su Da would have laughed—after daily cloud-herding practice, such skills ca naturally.)
Upon arrival, the rich aroma of stewed at made their mouths water.
Su Yuan greeted them cheerfully, "Perfect timing! This fifth-rank demon beast stew is almost ready—you're in for a treat!"
Zhuge Jian gasped, "Ancestor, this is fifth-rank at?!"
"Don't be shocked—just a lucky find for fun. But you're too weak;
just have so broth."
Su Yuan summoned four stone bowls and portioned out the soup, each containing only a sliver of at.
Thirteenth peeked from Gu You's pocket, eyes glued to that precious at strand.
