The conference concluded smoothly in the end.
Su Yuan later shared so alchemy insights, and during his lecture, everyone listened with unprecedented attentiveness, far surpassing their focus during previous sessions.
Su Yuan spent three hours imparting alchemy knowledge before gracefully departing.
He left behind a crowd displaying expressions ranging from restless excitent to wistful lancholy.
These attendees soon dispersed from the Seven Extres Sect, and news quickly spread throughout the cultivation world.
Su Yuan's reputation expanded at lightning speed!
A Void Refining elder!
Nearing lifespan's end!
The pinnacle of alchemy!
Miraculous skills!
When True Monarch Nocturnal Chill publicly revealed the effects of the pill on his child, it created another wave of astonishnt.
A diocre Foundation Establishnt cultivator with rely low-grade spiritual roots had actually advanced to a sixth-grade Golden Core!
Though only sixth-grade, given his original aptitude, he should have barely reached first-grade at most. While first-grade could potentially reach Nascent Soul, sixth-grade not only secured Nascent Soul but even offered a glimr of hope for Divine Transformation - this was incomparable to his original prospects.
In Cave Dwelling No.6.
Su Yuan lounged comfortably while listening to system notifications.
[Ding, Fa Points 88]
[Ding, Fa Points 1]
[Ding, Fa Points 24]
[Ding, Fa Points 3]
"Fantastic!"
Su Yuan felt utterly content.
Several days had passed since the Alchemy Conference, and the growth of his fa points had gradually slowed.
He opened his system panel to review:
[Na]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Green Vine Continent
[Rank]: Renowned (1,285,000/10,000,000)
[Realm]: Peak Foundation Establishnt (99/100): Peak Golden Star Realm
[Entry 1]: Work-Life Balance: Current rest duration: 18 days
[Entry 2]: Daoist Techniques Naturally
[Entry 3]: Seven Stars Shine Bright
[Entry 4]: Mind Echo
[Entry 5]: Great Master's Bearing
[Entry 6]: To Be Selected
"Indeed, taking that risk was worth it - earned 800,000 fa points in one go!" Su Yuan mused delightedly.
His confidence in taking this risk stemd largely from the [Great Master's Bearing] entry.
This entry served two purposes: first, it granted him Void Refining-level pressure, preventing others from probing his actual condition (or daring to try);
second, it detected hidden threats, virtually eliminating the possibility of being ambushed. If any Void Refining expert tried sneaking in, he would automatically project Body Unity-level pressure rather than just Void Refining pressure!
Each entry proved imnsely useful, so selecting this sixth one required careful consideration.
"Little Cai, co sprinkle so colorful lights for !" Su Yuan called to his frolicking Nine-Colored Celestial Fish.
"My na is Su Si!" The fish floated over, pouting in displeasure.
"Right, right, force of habit. I'll rember next ti!"
He gazed at her expectantly.
With a puff, Little Cai released a radiant glow that enveloped Su Yuan.
Golden, wooden, watery, fiery, and earthy Dao rhythms swirled around him, prompting Su Yuan to marvel at the sight - this fish truly possessed remarkable bloodline traits, having naturally comprehended all five elental concepts imdiately upon reaching third-tier!
This was practically cheating!
Perhaps the breakthrough conditions at Silver Spirit Waterfall were simply too favorable.
Surrounded by these five conceptual rhythms, Su Yuan felt profoundly at ease as he activated his system.
Three lines of text materialized before him:
[Know When to Stop]: You easily identify valuable items. Each discovery and collection slightly increases your negligible fortune.
[Perilous Duty]: You readily detect dangerous situations. Each identified and resolved crisis slightly extends your negligible lifespan.
[Emulate the Virtuous]: You effortlessly spot talented individuals. Each genius recruited allows you to appropriate a portion of their cultivation to supplent your own.
Three entries appeared before Su Yuan, still catching him by surprise.
Treasures, dangers, talents?
Corresponding to fortune, lifespan, and cultivation.
Su Yuan fell into deep contemplation.
Each of these entries offered substantial temptation - any choice would be valid, but only one could be selected.
Su Yuan analyzed carefully:
Fortune held great importance for cultivators. Without it, progress beca arduous;
with it, treasures might literally fall from the sky.
Cultivation seed simpler - selecting this entry ant he could lie at ho while his power grew, with more and stronger disciples accelerating his progress.
However, recruiting geniuses carried karma. Each additional disciple spun more karmic threads, extending even to their disciples' disciples - endless troubles once begun. Compared to this, the cultivation gains seed insignificant.
Choosing the third entry would make his cultivation path fraught with anxiety.
Thus Su Yuan's gaze finally settled on the second entry.
The latter half promised lifespan extension.
Longevity represented one of cultivation's fundantal goals - selecting this entry would undoubtedly prove worthwhile.
More crucially, the danger detection capability addressed cultivators' greatest fear: unforeseen perils. This early warning system would provide critical risk alerts.
Forewarned, he could choose whether to confront or avoid dangers.
The entry's first half ensured safety during cultivation, while the second extended his cultivation lifespan - combined, they might truly lead to immortality!
With sufficient lifespan, gradual cultivation would eventually succeed!
Life presented many choices - who could always select optimally? Obtaining what one desired sufficed.
Resolute, Su Yuan ntally selected [Perilous Duty]!
Instantly, an inexplicable power surged through him, invigorating his spirit.
[Ding, Lifespan 10]
[Ding, Lifespan 8]
[Ding, Lifespan 5]
[Ding, Lifespan 4]
Su Yuan blinked in surprise.
[Lifespan: 18/327]
He raised an eyebrow - the theoretical lifespan limit for Foundation Establishnt was 300 years, yet his had increased to 327!
When the lifespan notifications appeared, images flashed through his mind - Zhuge Jian, Nangong Huoyu, and their two companions.
Activating the entry had retroactively calculated his earlier rescue of these four from peril, granting him 27 bonus years!
Su Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitent!
Twenty-seven free years of lifespan!
This entry's effects proved truly remarkable!
He imdiately set out to conduct experints.
Returning half a day later, he wore a thoughtful expression.
Results matched expectations: saving a rabbit from mortal danger yielded no lifespan gain;
venturing beyond the sect to rescue a drowning child similarly produced no notification.
Examining the [Perilous Duty] entry, he considered its literal aning - the danger likely referred to threats against himself or those connected to him.
Presumably, only crises involving Seven Extres Sect disciples or his own family would trigger lifespan rewards.
Understanding this, Su Yuan remained unperturbed - such events occurred frequently. As long as lifespan gains exceeded consumption, this entry essentially granted him immortality!
With ample lifespan, he could cultivate peacefully;
when running low, he could remotely te out celestial punishnt to replenish it - perfectly balanced.
His heart settled into complete tranquility.
Now he needn't debate whether to seek adventures or resources.
With this entry, he could comfortably remain sequestered in the sect indefinitely!
However splendid the outside world, he'd content himself with a cup of tea!
Paired with [Work-Life Balance], this created perfect synergy - accumulating more rest ti for exponentially greater cultivation effects!
This aligned perfectly with his original cultivation aspirations. Previously concerned about lifespan, he'd needed to take risks for fa;
now he could simply relax.
Su Yuan happily cast a fishing line into his cave dwelling's stream - though rich in spiritual energy, most fish remained ordinary unless fate intervened.
As he fished contentedly, free from cultivation concerns, Little Cai would inevitably appear whenever he hooked a spiritual fish, flipping the line to grant escape.
Sticking out her tongue playfully, the fish spirit teased him.
Unfazed, Su Yuan chuckled, "There are countless fish in the world - you can't protect them all!"
"I don't care! You can't eat spiritual fish in front of ! They're developing intelligence!" Little Cai nestled against him coquettishly. "Promise not to eat them?"
"What about ordinary fish?" Su Yuan asked.
"Those don't matter - big fish eat little fish, that's nature!" With a tail flick, she scooped a mundane fish from the water. "Roast this for ! Make it tasty!" she demanded sweetly.
Su Yuan laughed helplessly. "Fine, fine, I'll grill it for you."
The aromatic roasting soon attracted Xiao Li, who plopped down beside them expectantly.
Su Yuan suddenly realized he'd beco their personal chef!
Noticing the thirty-five spiritual fish showing traces of Nine-Colored Celestial Fish heritage, he produced five pills.
"Su Yuan, what pills are these? They sll amazing!" Little Cai asked eagerly.
"Not for you - they wouldn't benefit you," Su Yuan waved her off before addressing Old Qian: "Can you refine these into equivalent liquid dicine?"
"Not with just five - I'd need a hundred," Old Qian replied.
"Another ti then." Su Yuan tossed the pills to the thirty-five fish.
Little Cai watched curiously as the fish scrambled for the pills.
After intense competition, five erged victorious.
Upon consuming the pills, their auras surged dramatically!
Two hours later, five third-tier monster auras erupted!
Su Yuan promptly taught them transformation arts based on Seven Extres techniques.
Soon, several child forms appeared by the stream. With a wave, Su Yuan clothed them in miniature robes.
Three boys and two girls stood proudly before him.
The newly transford children imdiately prostrated respectfully.
"We thank our master!"
"From now on, you shall be Su Da, Su Er, Su San, Su Lan, and Su Ju," Su Yuan bestowed.
The two girls responded brightly: "Su Lan/Su Ju thanks master for the na!"
Satisfied, Su Yuan thought two more would complete the set nicely with Su i and Su He.
The three boys froze montarily, slow to react.
"Thank your master for the nas!" Little Cai scolded.
Finally comprehending, they bowed: "Su Da/Su Er/Su Su thanks master for the nas!"
Exchanging glances as they knelt, the boys' eyes conveyed silent lant - why were their nas so... simplistic?
