"Level Five, and all this bending over is still tiring."

Su Qing had no idea how many times he had bent over to pick grass.

Even at the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering, his back felt a little sore.

But Su Qing felt his luck was still a bit rotten.

After so many syntheses, he had only triggered a Talent once.

The result was the Life Grass Ring he now wore.

But according to its description, there was even a God of Life.

Su Qing didn’t know if this god existed in this world.

If it really did exist in this world...

...then things were about to get interesting.

Who was stronger, Immortals or Gods?

But it seemed that was a spectacle someone as insignificant as Su Qing wasn’t qualified to witness.

’In the end, I still have to rely on Cultivation.’

Su Qing sighed.

’Isn’t there some kind of Superman-like bloodline out there that would let me surpass the Cosmos just by soaking up some sun?’

Sigh!

He returned to the Wang Family residence. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It was already evening.

Su Qing brought back a bundle of First Layer Grass Cakes.

’After all, I can’t let food go to waste.’

[Synthesis Success: Great Replenishing Pill]

...

Great Replenishing Pill x20

...

Su Qing swallowed a Great Replenishing Pill.

’Replicate Second Layer Cyan Snake Posture.’

His head spun slightly. This time, Su Qing chose not to fall into a deep sleep, but to feign it instead.

After all, he didn’t know when Wang Li, that Demon Fiend, might appear.

When she appeared again, Su Qing would have to put an end to her.

However, by the time Su Qing recovered, Wang Li had not appeared.

And Su Qing discovered that his recovery speed had increased significantly after obtaining the Life Grass Ring.

He recovered nearly ten-odd minutes faster.

’This ten percent comprehensive recovery is actually this powerful?’

’And it’s a lot like an item from an online game. In those games, late-game gear is always the strongest.’

As Su Qing recovered, he wondered if he should replicate the Second Layer Cyan Snake Posture again.

But he quickly decided against it.

’Once a day is enough.’

’The Wang Family promised me Martial Arts, but I can only get them after I eliminate the Demon Fiend...’

’Once I get to Shangjing, I might encounter even better Martial Arts, or even Immortal Cultivation Techniques.’

Su Qing kept pondering whether he should make such a decision.

The night passed uneventfully.

「The next morning.」

Realm: Ninth Layer of Body Tempering [Second Layer Cyan Snake Posture (Evolution): Mastery (912/1000)]

He was already at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering.

Su Qing could clearly feel the increase in his strength from the Eighth to the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering.

’It’s a huge leap. If my current self were to fight my self from the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering, I could take on at least three of them.’

’Just a little more.’

Su Qing figured he probably wouldn’t be able to break through today.

He would have to wait until tomorrow.

As long as the Demon Fiend didn’t show up tonight, Su Qing would be able to break through tomorrow morning.

’A breakthrough should cause me to shed my skin, so I can’t do it at the Wang Family’s residence.’

Su Qing recalled his first Martial Arts breakthrough. The sight of his shed skin would definitely shock anyone else.

They might even mistake Su Qing for a Demon Fiend.

So he couldn’t shed his skin in the Wang Family’s home.

’I hope Wang Li doesn’t show up tonight, or she’ll slow down my progress.’

Su Qing thought about it for a moment. He shouldn’t put it that way; if Wang Li did come, he would have to settle things once and for all.

Su Qing dragged his slightly exhausted body to take a bath.

He lay down on the bed.

’Replicate Second Layer Cyan Snake Posture one time.’

Then, under a double wave of exhaustion, Su Qing fell asleep.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Someone tapped lightly on his door.

Su Qing woke up.

"Who is it?"

"Sir, Xu Fairy is here to see you."

"Oh, let her in."

A moment later,

Xu Ningying pushed the door open and entered.

She said, "Su Qing, it looks like I won’t be able to head back so soon."

"The Second Young Master Murong of Kexiang County received an invitation to a netherworld marriage. I’ve been asked to handle it."

"A netherworld marriage?"

Su Qing’s mind went to the synthesis materials; a grand event like a netherworld marriage would likely have plenty to offer.

"So you’ll be delayed for a while?"

"That’s right. I have to at least wait until the Second Young Master of the Murong Family completes the netherworld marriage. After that, regardless of whether I can stop it, I must return to Shangjing. I’ll act within my capabilities, of course."

After explaining, Xu Ningying added, "Once you’ve handled the Wang Family’s matter, you can come find me at the Shangshui Residence in the County City."

Su Qing nodded. "Xu Fairy, I was wondering if you had a Cultivation Technique I could take a look at?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ningying couldn’t help but shake her head.

"No. I don’t know if you’re even capable of Cultivation, but I still can’t let you try."

"First, Cultivation Methods can only be practiced by people of good character. Second, one must have the right aptitude."

"During the previous dynasty, there was a Demon Cultivator who initially couldn’t practice because he lacked the aptitude. He somehow managed to modify a Righteous Dao Cultivation Technique into a Demonic Cultivation Technique. It’s said that he slaughtered an entire major county of the old dynasty in just one month."

"Cultivation Methods cannot be casually shown to others."

Xu Ningying’s expression was grave as she spoke.

"Xu Fairy, you should know what I’m like. Whether I have the aptitude or not, I want to try at least once."

Su Qing said faintly.

However, he didn’t stop Xu Ningying from leaving.

After hearing Su Qing’s words, Xu Ningying suddenly remembered where she was. This was not the County City.

When Su Qing said that, Xu Ningying felt as if he was about to take it by force.

"..."

"Young Master Su, please don’t threaten a humble Cultivator like me."

"I really can’t give you an Immortal Cultivation Technique from the Demon-Extermination Bureau."

"But I can buy one for you from outside."

"Buy one?"

Su Qing was astonished.

"Yes, there is one Immortal Cultivation Technique that is widely circulated."

"It’s called the Five Cultivation Skills."

"Ordinary bookstores all carry it. There’s just one catch: without exceptional innate talent, it’s impossible to succeed in its Cultivation."

Xu Ningying explained a few more things.

"Then what use is this Cultivation Technique to me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was secretly overjoyed, but his expression was one of disdain as he spoke.

"Why don’t you give it a try first, Young Master Su? Once you’re in Shangjing, you can go to the Demon-Extermination Bureau to have your aptitude tested."

Su Qing fell silent for a moment.

Xu Ningying hated dealing with such scheming people the most.

She could never see through them.

"Fine, go buy a copy for me."

Su Qing said with a sigh.

He hadn’t expected such an easily obtainable Cultivation Method to be right under his nose.

’So what if its effects are a bit weak?’

’Weaker effects mean I can replicate it nine times in one go.’

’As long as I trigger a Talent just once, it will be a completely different story.’

’I just hope it isn’t Evolution.’

’Because with a weak Cultivation Technique, triggering the Evolution Talent won’t necessarily produce good results.’

’But if I trigger Mutated, the effect will be transformative.’

Full of anticipation, Su Qing got up and started practicing the Cyan Snake Posture.

’Even with an Immortal Cultivation Technique on the way, I have to master this Cyan Snake Posture.’

’At the very least, the Cyan Snake Posture is about to undergo a transformation.’

He swallowed a Great Nourishing Pill.

Su Qing began his silent Cultivation.

A short while later, Xu Ningying returned.

She was carrying a rather thin book.

Five Cultivation Skills.

"The Cultivation Technique you wanted."

"Thanks. Just put it on the floor for now," Su Qing said, nodding at her.

Then he continued practicing the Cyan Snake Posture.

The moment Xu Ningying tossed it on the floor and left, Su Qing snatched it up.

’I can’t let her see how excited I am.’

After Su Qing slowly finished reading the Cultivation Technique, he was absolutely ecstatic.
