Chapter 104: Persuasion! Cultivation! Stealth Learning!
Chapter 104: Persuasion! Cultivation! Stealth Learning!
“Hahaha.”
Wu Yong, in a great mood, looked at the old man beside him and laughed loudly.
“Old Sun, go and bring my senior brother’s attendant up here.”
At this moment, he was absolutely certain that he could pull Su Changqing into his scheme.
How much resources does a beginner need to start cultivating? As long as his plan succeeded, even a fraction of his resources would be more than enough for Su Changqing.
In that case, getting Su Changqing to keep an eye on things for him would be a piece of cake.
“This little guy has some good luck to run into my young master on this small mountain.”
Old Sun glanced at Su Changqing and chuckled to himself.
Being able to form a bond with the young master was Su Changqing’s good fortune.
At the very least, when Su Changqing traveled through the Southern Domain in the future, no one would dare to look down on him with the name of the young master’s senior brother.
“Thank you, Junior Brother.”
Su Changqing felt indebted to Wu Yong, and his initial impression of him was quite good.
After a brief introduction of Uncle Fu to Old Sun, the latter immediately stepped into the air and left.
“Senior Brother.”
As soon as Old Sun left, Wu Yong put his arm around Su Changqing’s shoulder and whispered,
“To be honest, I came to the Little Immortal Sect with a big task, and I need your help.”
Su Changqing was taken aback, “What do you need to do? What kind of help do you need?”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Wu Yong looked around and, seeing that Wu Jiuling was not there, said mysteriously,
“I plan to carve a grand array on this small mountain, linking the resource towers of the Little Immortal Sect’s various regions!”
“When it’s done, we won’t have to fight for positions. We can directly enter the resource towers through my grand array!”
Su Changqing’s eyes lit up at this.
Although there were many resource towers in the Little Immortal Sect, the competition was fierce.
Unless it was a resource tower that no one could pass, it would be surrounded by disciples from the various peaks.
Who got in first and who got in last became a problem, often leading to conflicts.
But with this grand array, the competition would be much simpler, as they could directly teleport into the towers!
“Junior Brother, there’s no need to hide this from the teacher.”
“The Little Immortal Sect’s rules state that any resources obtained by one’s own abilities are beyond the reach of the elders.”
“This is a normal method; there’s no need to make a big fuss about it.”
Wu Yong was speechless at Su Changqing’s words.
If it were just a simple teleportation array, no one would say anything.
But he was planning to cheat! The teleportation array was just the foundation. He also intended to inscribe array cores that would reduce the difficulty of the resource towers.
If this was discovered, his father and the Domain Lord would have him whipped.
This couldn’t be exposed yet.
“Senior Brother, my method is definitely compliant!”
Wu Yong said seriously, “But I don’t know what the teacher’s temperament is. What if the teacher disapproves?”
“Then we won’t be able to use this excellent method, right?”
“So, let’s keep this between us, and there’s no need to tell the teacher.”
Su Changqing was a hurdle he couldn’t avoid. If he set up the grand array on the mountain, there would be some flaws.
He wasn’t worried about Wu Jiuling, as elders rarely went out and mostly focused on cultivation.
He could have Old Sun block Wu Jiuling’s divine senses to ensure the array wasn’t found.
But Su Changqing was different. He was young and active, always searching for resource towers.
His array could hide from divine senses, but not from the eyes.
Therefore, it was better to be open and honest, directly telling Su Changqing about his plan to carve the array.
Once the grand array was completed in a few days, he could pull Su Changqing into his scheme, making it seamless!
“Senior Brother, you won’t tattle on your junior brother, right?”
Wu Yong looked at Su Changqing with a pitiful expression.
"No," Su Changqing shook his head, amused by Wu Yong's nervousness. "I'll keep it a secret for you."
This was an easy promise for Su Changqing to make. After all, it was legal and above board. Even if it were discovered, there would be no consequences. Besides, Wu Yong had offered his essence blood and even helped with Old Uncle Fu. It would be heartless not to agree to such a small favor.
"Ha-ha-ha, great!" Wu Yong chuckled with a meaningful smile. "I'll send some good stuff to Brother in a while."
...
Being the same age and with Wu Yong's particularly lively personality, Su Changqing and Wu Yong quickly became familiar with each other. Soon, Old Sun arrived with Old Uncle Fu, and Su Changqing hurried to greet them.
"Master."
Old Uncle Fu's weathered face lit up with a warm smile upon seeing Su Changqing. He had watched the three trials and knew that Su Changqing was the top of the Heavenly Genius Rankings. Becoming the guardian of such a prodigy was a great honor.
"Old Uncle Fu, how's your illness?" Su Changqing asked hesitantly. "I don't have any herbs right now, but I'll go to the mountains to gather some in a couple of days."
"Master, don't worry. I know my condition. It will get better in time," Old Uncle Fu smiled. His injuries were severe, and ordinary herbs would be of little use. He would need to recover slowly, which would take a year or two.
"Pfft, it's just a common cold. The peak of the Alchemy Peak is full of rare medicinal herbs. Just pull one out and it'll be fine."
"Or we could raid the Resource Tower on Alchemy Peak. Most of the resources there are miraculous elixirs."
Wu Yong waved his hand dismissively. "A mere human cold is nothing. If it weren't for our first meeting, Old Sun could have circulated his lifeblood through Old Uncle Fu's body, and he would be cured instantly."
"Alchemy Peak!"
Su Changqing's eyes lit up. His Heavenly Medical Scroll contained many herbs he couldn't find, and there were many ailments he couldn't understand. Perhaps he could find answers on Alchemy Peak, as alchemy and herbal medicine were closely related.
"I must visit Alchemy Peak someday."
"But my strength isn't quite enough yet. I'll go after I achieve the Minor Divine Body."
This thought flashed through Su Changqing's mind, and his eyes showed determination. For now, he needed to focus on diligent cultivation!
Old Sun, standing to the side, gave Wu Yong a meaningful look, and Wu Yong nodded proudly. He had already won over this mere mortal brother!
...
After settling Old Uncle Fu, Su Changqing went straight to his cultivation. However, he did not immediately consume the essence blood. Instead, he took out the Dao Map of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe and hung it on a large stone. Around him were piles of wood of various lengths.
"Master Scholar once said, 'A book read a hundred times will reveal its meaning.' I suppose this applies to axe training as well."
"By observing and practicing daily, I will surely grasp it quickly."
Holding a stone axe, Su Changqing first observed the Dao Map of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe. When his divine sense was about to reach its limit, he immediately averted his gaze.
"Chop!"
Su Changqing gripped the nearly thousand-pound stone axe with both hands and swung it down with a mighty force.
Crack!
The wood splintered and broke.
Su Changqing closed his eyes, feeling the trajectory of the stone axe and the sensation of the blade cutting through the wood. A sense of enlightenment began to form in his mind.
He repeated the process: observe the Dao Map, chop the wood, and stand still to meditate. The path of the stone axe in his hands became increasingly perfect.
Unbeknownst to Su Changqing, who was deeply engrossed in his cultivation, Wu Jiuling was also watching the Dao Map of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe from the shadows, his eyes wide with concentration.
"Hiss, this axe technique is so difficult."
