Su He gazed at Yu Lin controlling his sword to fly away, feeling a bit envious, wondering when he himself would be able to fly.
A turtle that could fly sounded somewhat awkward.
It probably wasn’t normal flight; most likely, even if he did fly, it would be amidst surging waves, traversing the waves above the Nine Heavens.
The second lesson was a lesson on Taoist magic skills by Elder Ge.
The lesson on Taoist magic did not cover specific cultivation techniques but discussed common knowledge in cultivation: numerous special terms within the practices, introductions to various cultivation techniques, and detailed explanations of the different boundary statuses.
Su He was now in the True Blood Realm.
During his hibernation, approximately one-third of his blood had been replaced with Dragon Turtle True Blood.
The speed of the True Blood congealing had noticeably slowed down over this month.
Su He always felt that he might have taken the wrong path.
Unlike ordinary cultivators whose blood circulated through the Heart Orifice and was nurtured by the Heart Orifice Divine God Object, transforming ordinary blood into True Blood containing Tao Rhythms,
Su He had to genuinely produce Dragon Turtle True Blood; it wasn’t just about making his original blood carry the Dragon Turtle Tao Rhythm.
Therefore, this step should fundamentally change from the source.
First, to refine the marrow with sacrifices, then the spleen, so that the blood newly produced by the body would be directly Dragon Turtle True Blood.
Su He had consulted his master about this, and Elder Ge simply laughed and gave him a Qingyuan Bone Sacrifice and The Five Emperors Returning to the Origin Painting, telling him to boldly experiment since the Dragon Turtle body was robust and could withstand much without dying.
Su He was utterly bewildered.
That seemed too unreliable; the journey of cultivation required careful steps—how could one be reckless?
The Seven Steps to Transcendence: Heart Orifice, Divine God Objects, True Blood, Intention Orifices, Offering Bones, Spirit Awakening, Gathering Origin.
After the True Blood phase should come the Intention Orifices.
To condense True Blood—once there’s enough True Blood Tao Rhythm, you can blast open the Intention Orifice to condense the Divine Sense, and a cultivator can then practice magic skills and Talisman Runes, among other things.
The amount of True Blood Tao Rhythm needed to break open the Intention Orifice varies from person to person; some can open their Intention Orifice with just a third of the rhythm, while others need six or seven parts. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
It’s not a case of the sooner the better.
The easier it is to break open the Intention Orifice, the more fragile it proves to be, and the Divine Sense that can be condensed will not be powerful.
It could even be impossible to condense a Mind Pearl during the Spirit Awakening phase.
In theory, Su He’s Dragon Turtle True Blood should be equivalent to a cultivator’s Tao Rhythm True Blood.
He had already condensed three-tenths of True Blood, yet felt no indication of the Intention Orifice bursting open.
The congealment of True Blood once again fell into stagnation.
On the stage, Elder Ge had finished discussing the Intention Orifices Realm yesterday and started lecturing on the Offering Bone Realm today, occasionally slipping in a few small advertisements for Beast Valley.
“The Offering Bone Realm consists of three steps.
First, use the power of True Blood to strike at the acupoints, making them like nails, securing the flesh and bones together tightly, inseparable from each other.
The second step uses the acupoints as the nodes, along with the bones, with True Blood soaking and refining the bones.
The third step is to forge the five visceral organs and the six bowels.
Once this step is thoroughly achieved, one’s lifespan could reach three hundred years.”
The audience listened with aspiration stirring in their hearts.
The Great Tao is elusive and cannot be seen directly; lifespan and magic skills are indeed what cultivators pursue.
To congeal True Blood extends life to about one hundred and twenty years, while breaking open the Intention Orifice to condense Divine Sense could allow one to live one hundred and eighty years.
Achieving great success in the Offering Bone Realm could let one live for three hundred years, completely transcending the mortal realm.
Su He pondered his own path of cultivation while attending the lecture, and before he knew it, the class had ended, and a sticky-sounding voice rang in his ear, “Uncle Dragon Turtle, do you have any appointments lately?”
Su He turned to look.
It was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was someone he hadn’t seen before—a new disciple from outside Li Nan Yuan.
“I have eight acres of spiritual land at Qingping Mountain.
If Uncle has no prior engagements, could you help me water the field?
We’ll go by your usual rate.”
Su He’s eyes lit up.
As a disciple of Elder Ge, and being of equal status to a direct transmission, one could not neglect the duties of the sect.
Qingyuan Gate had three kinds of tasks: tasks from the sect itself, tasks commissioned by fellow sect members, and external commissions.
Other disciples were not required to do so, but direct transmissions had to complete three sect tasks each year, and their merit points had to reach three hundred.
Otherwise, both the exchange of cultivation techniques and the monthly stipend for disciples would be affected.
Quite straightforward and brutal.
Su He didn’t need merit points to learn the traditions of his own lineage, but he would need to spend them to learn from others.
Moreover, direct transmission disciples had to earn their own three hundred merit points.
Su He couldn’t leave Qingyuan to take on high-merit tasks that require departure from the mountain, so he had to think of other ways.
For example, watering the fields!
Rain was abundant at Qingyuan Gate, but the water used to irrigate the spiritual fields couldn’t just be ordinary rainwater; it had to be managed by a direct transmission of Spirit Awakening Realm or higher using the Rain-making Technique.
Mana invoked rainwater contained spiritual power.
Su He couldn’t perform the Rain-making Technique, but the water flows he condensed with his Water Control Divine God Power were brimming with spiritual power and provided even better results.
Moreover, Su He’s fees were not high, charging only one merit point for a thorough watering of an acre of spiritual fields.
Su He let out a snort.
“I have a task today, tomorrow I’ll take a break in Li Nan Yuan, I’ll come to Qingping Mountain to find you,” Su He said.
That disciple left satisfied.
Su He exited Li Nan Yuan, descended down Elephant Water, and made his way to Tinghai Lake.
After checking that Feng Yaya had not yet woken up on the small island, Su He directly swam westward across the lake.
Yesterday, he had received a sect mission to go eight hundred miles west to the outskirts of He An City where a large number of crocodiles had gathered on the shallow beach, posing threats to the townspeople in fishing, farming, and even their personal safety…
Though named a “city,” He An City was actually a small town with just over three thousand inhabitants.
But it held an extraordinary heritage, for only descendants of Qingyuan could build a city within the domain of Qingyuan Gate.
He An City was founded by the descendants of Elder Luo of Evergreen Peak.
Although Elder Luo was over eight hundred years old and had only one son, his family grew to hundreds of members over five generations.
Unfortunately, not everyone had the aptitude for cultivation.
So they settled down not far below Qingyuan Mountain, and after hundreds of years, it had become a small town.
A few days prior, town residents had lit incense to contact their ancestral elder, informing him about the crocodile situation outside He An City, and Elder Luo immediately issued a task, which Su He was quick to snatch up.
Driving away the crocodiles was his kind of job.
Travelling eight hundred miles, going against the current of Elephant Water, he arrived outside He An City two hours later; without reaching the shallow beach, he could already hear the croaking sounds of crocodiles, so Su He swam over.
Here the crocodiles had built their nests, gathering in groups.
Estimating by sight, there were easily over a hundred of them, rivaling those at Crocodile Beach.
Su He raised his head and let out a long chant, “Aooong~”
“From now on, I’m the boss here, all crocodiles assemble!”
The crocodiles glanced at him but paid him no mind.
Instead, two spying youngsters on the shore screamed in terror and ran away, “There’s an Exotic Beast!
A turtle-type Exotic Beast!”
Su He ignored them, focusing only on the crocodiles.
These creatures needed discipline.
Su He, a massive figure in comparison, stood in front of the crocodiles, several sizes larger than them, yet they seemed to lack even a sense of crisis.
Even one began to challenge him.
“Lonely one!”
“Scram.”
Su He lunged forward and bit the challenger’s tail, swung it around, and smacked it onto the water surface, causing the crocodile to turn belly-up, its eyes whites showing.
It took a long while before it came to and scurried away with a painful cry.
Su He, like a lion amongst sheep, chased them down, one by one, tossing the crocodiles onto the water surface.
Crocodiles that could have matched him half a year ago now seemed like chicks.
Su He did not use any divine skills; dealing with wild beasts with bare-handed combat was most effective.
This group simply lacked discipline; a good thrashing to acknowledge the leader was in order before driving them back to expand the Crocodile Clan of Tinghai Lake.
Su He fought his way from the easternmost edge of the shallow beach to the western edge, then back again.
Some crocodiles resisted and bit into him, but not even their bites could draw forth his Appearance of Bearing Mountain.
Even when Su He suppressed his external appearance, exposing himself to their attacks, the bites did not hurt or itch.
In the distance, some people from He An City were sneakily observing the scene from afar.
Witnessing Su He beating the crocodiles, some applauded while others were anxiously concerned.
They feared that once the external Exotic Beast drove away the crocodiles, it would then occupy the shallow beach.
And life would become even harder.
As Su He was beating the crocodiles, he noticed a female Daoist standing on the shore, her hand on an Immortal Sword, quietly watching him.
