Chapter 420 Eternal Youth
Ten days later.
Yashan and Feng Chen had tidied up the originally messy storage space, neatly arranging everything into categories. The chaotic warehouse had now turned into an immensely valuable exhibition hall!
After sending the inventory list to Su Hao via the universal assistant, Yashan informed Su Hao, “Boss Feng Wei, I have sorted out the storage space. Almost all items have been accounted for, including fifteen types of unmarked materials. After comparing them with the manuals, only three of them remain unidentified.”
Su Hao opened the list:
“Xuanlei Cold Mountain Iron: Five boxes; Nine-Stripe Yellow Heart Stone: Three boxes; Linsheng Red Blood Stone: Three boxes; Sanqiao Purple Wood Heart: Five pieces… Fury Pill: Eight bottles; Strength Pill: Seven bottles; Jade Flower Pill: Ten bottles; Clear Soul Pill: Eight bottles… Formation Manuals: Five hundred and fifty-two volumes; Refining Manuals: One thousand three hundred and twenty volumes… Eight Leaf Vitality Flower Seeds: One bottle; Earth Spirit Forget-Worry Grass Seeds: One bottle…”
Su Hao quickly skimmed through the list and soon focused on a line: “Red Spring Refining Elixir: One piece.”
Su Hao’s heart settled, “Indeed, I’ve got the Red Spring Refining Elixir! Heh! My method did work… Huh? Wait! Why is it referred to as a ‘piece’?”
He opened the ‘details’ and immediately saw the image of the Red Spring Refining Elixir, which was the strange reddish stone the size of a basketball he had forcibly taken from Feng Jiutai.
“Is this thing the Red Spring Refining Elixir??? Why is it still a stone! The person who named this stuff is really cunning, afraid that others might recognize it? Cunning and talented! The key is that the entire cultivation world accepts this kind of terminology, truly remarkable at deceiving people!”
Su Hao was initially misled, actually thinking that the Red Spring Refining Elixir was a special liquid!
Su Hao asked, “Yashan, how did you find the Red Spring Refining Elixir? You can recognize it!”
Yashan awkwardly replied, “Hey! I didn’t recognize it at first either. But after comparing it with the universal assistant, all signs pointed to the term ‘Red Spring Refining Elixir’. I even thought there was a system malfunction! Later, I simply brought out all the comparison manuals and searched through them one by one, only to discover that the reddish stone was indeed the Red Spring Refining Elixir!”
Yashan continued, “Boss Feng Wei, this stone is extraordinary. According to the books, it can degrade and revert different types of spiritual power into a form that cultivators can directly absorb. This is one of the key materials for breaking through the Unity Realm.”
Su Hao immediately accessed the information in the manuals, confirming Yashan’s statement. This led Su Hao to a new speculation: “After reaching a certain level of cultivation, isn’t cultivation essentially a plundering of spiritual power? Could it be that through a special method, one converts others’ spiritual power into attributeless spiritual power, which is then absorbed and assimilated to achieve a breakthrough?
Perhaps there are other principles involved, but it’s no wonder why so many sects risk their lives to get their hands on this stone.”
Yashan continued, “Boss Feng Wei, there’s also another item with similar effects to the Red Spring Refining Elixir, called the ‘Nine-Ring Merging Spirit Lotus.’ According to the books, this white flower can blend nine different spiritual powers together seamlessly, making it another important material for breaking through the Unity Realm.
There are many other spiritual herbs with similar effects, but none are as powerful as the Nine-Ring Merging Spirit Lotus. Most can only blend three or four different spiritual powers together! It’s quite rare.”
Su Hao immediately remembered the white flower he obtained at sea and nodded, “I see! They’re all items used for breaking through the Unity Realm. Let’s keep them safe for now. When we have time later, we’ll study the principles behind these materials’ assistance in breakthroughs.”
Once the principles are understood, perhaps there won’t be a need for such special materials to aid in breakthroughs in the future.
Yashan nodded, “Understood, Boss Feng Wei! I already have some new ideas for implanting techniques, so I’ll go into seclusion to study them later. I’ve delegated many miscellaneous tasks to Feng Chen Junior Brother, so he’ll take care of them!”
Su Hao said, “Go ahead! When you finish your seclusion, come find me, and I’ll add the Summoner Talent for you. You should also spare some time to study teleportation knowledge.”
Yashan’s pupils dilated suddenly, and he exclaimed, “Boss Wei, are you saying I can learn teleportation now?”
Su Hao nodded, “With the assistance of the universal assistant, it shouldn’t be a problem, but it also depends on your own learning ability! If it takes you ten seconds to successfully activate teleportation, then I suggest you not think about using it in combat! Just use it for traveling.”
Mastering ‘Blink’ isn’t easy.
The program for activating Blink and its complexity, even Su Hao had spent years optimizing it in his previous life before achieving the current seamless use of Blink.
Yashan’s face turned red as he exclaimed, “Boss Wei, using it for traveling is the most awesome ability, bar none! It’s even cooler than my Super Dragon Lightning Tornado!!”
He didn’t even remember to call him ‘Boss Feng Wei’, his mind now filled with scenes of himself swiftly flashing back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more awesome he felt!
“In the future, I’ll build many tourist attractions around the world. When I get bored of the scenery here, I’ll just teleport to another place…”
Su Hao chuckled, “I’m afraid you’ll get bored after playing for just two days! Hurry back now! I need to continue cultivating!”
Yashan left with a grin, his steps uneven, swaying as if he were drunk!
Yes, he was an old man, but who said old men would resist such explosively cool abilities?
He was feeling happy, he was letting loose, he was forever youthful, full of fantasies, what’s wrong with that!
…
Ten days later, Su Hao opened his eyes, adjusted his breath, stood up, and stretched his stiff body after sitting for a long time. He muttered to himself, “After twenty days of attempts, I’ve already mastered the preliminary practice of mental perception. But to completely cultivate it, I don’t know how much time it will take. Spiritual cultivation is the most enduring in terms of mental effort.”
Fortunately, Su Hao wasn’t in a hurry; he could take his time.
This kind of spiritual cultivation directly affected his consciousness information, subtly changing his consciousness structure. When he reincarnated and cultivated again, he would quickly restore his mental power to its peak without the need to accumulate it like blood energy and spiritual power.
Every bit of increase in mental power was a gain for Su Hao.
“The time is almost up. According to Master’s flying speed, we should be returning to the sect soon!”
Su Hao glanced at the log reminder and found that Feng Ling and her group were expected to arrive at the sect in about five days. The fact that Feng Ling hadn’t activated the locator stone during this time meant they probably hadn’t encountered any danger.
This was unreasonable!
Why did all sorts of dangerous things happen one after another when Su Hao went out, but Feng Ling and her three companions returned swaggeringly without any trouble?
Su Hao mocked himself for a moment, then thought to himself, “It’s time to go out and check!”
With that in mind, Su Hao connected to the locator stone in Feng Ling’s hand and instantly teleported himself there.
As soon as he appeared, he saw Feng Ling shivering all over, subconsciously swinging her sword, a green long sword shooting towards him. Wasn’t this the ‘Green Swallow’ Su Hao had crafted for Feng Ling?
Su Hao thought to himself, “She reacts pretty quickly! Much better than many others, well done, well done, making progress!”
Then, with a flicker of green light in his hand, he pointed a finger at the tip of the ‘Green Swallow’. The next moment, the ‘Green Swallow’ stopped at Su Hao’s fingertip, unable to advance an inch.
Six pairs of eyes stared at him incredulously.
After a moment, the four of them sat around a clearing, grilling barbecue. Two rabbits sizzled on the grill, soon emitting a tantalizing aroma.
“Feng Wei, you scared us to death when you suddenly appeared! What if I accidentally poked a hole in you? My Green Swallow is very sharp!” Feng Ling patted her unremarkable chest, scolding him as she spoke.
