Chapter 552: Chapter 346: Xuan Yue’s Transformation and the Birth of an Innate Spiritual Treasure
Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, Xuankong Mountain.
An old man and a young man, who hadn’t seen each other for more than a decade, sat opposite each other, burning incense and brewing tea.
The young man spoke, while the old man listened.
Master Xuanwei took the tea water handed by Su Yu, drinking it like sweet dew.
"In less than twenty years, the cultivation of my grand-disciple has already surpassed me, a peerless genius indeed."
Su Yu chuckled:
"I never imagined such fortune on this journey."
Master Xuanwei put down the teacup, assessed Su Yu from head to toe, and asked:
"I see your cultivation is only one step away from a perfected Golden Core, when will you undergo your tribulation? How confident are you?"
"Within two months, as for my confidence... nine tenths!"
"Oh!"
Master Xuanwei asked with delight:
"Truly?"
"Truly!"
"Good!"
Master Xuanwei praised by tapping the table:
"If my grand-disciple succeeds, I shall report to the Sect Master, allowing you to take over as the Head of Xuankong Mountain."
Su Yu urgently waved his hand and said:
"Not possible."
Faced with his ancestor’s puzzled gaze, Su Yu said solemnly:
"After becoming an immortal, I must continue my cultivation, fearing I won’t have enough time for sect duties."
Master Xuanwei’s face showed a moment of realization, and he smiled:
"No problem, my grand-disciple need not stay in the sect daily to handle duties, just establish the title first, sect affairs can be delegated to others, you may return whenever you find the time."
"Hmm... disciple will comply."
Not staying here every day is fine, the ancestor only wishes to establish the title first, likely fearing the Sect Master would recruit me first.
"Ancestor, I’ve gained some harvest on this outing."
Flipping his hand, he took out a jade box and pushed it in front of Master Xuanwei, inside were three Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits, fifty Peaches of Immortality, three Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits, and two Tier Ten Treasures, one offensive and one defensive.
Master Xuanwei looked at the jade box, his hand trembled, eyes showed astonishment as he quickly pushed it back:
"Nonsense, such heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance cultivation are just right to boost your own cultivation."
Su Yu flipped his hand to take out a Peach of Immortality, smiled and said:
"No worries, master, I have an abundance of these treasures, more than enough to elevate me to True Immortal."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Then I won’t be polite."
Master Xuanwei’s hand trembled slightly as he accepted the jade box.
He had cultivated for more than two thousand years and thought that his heart was as calm as still water, unmoved even if a mountain collapsed, but this time, his grand-disciple’s offerings indeed were shocking.
Three Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits, fifty Peaches of Immortality, enough for him to ascend after the Celestial Human Tribulation and continue advancing until he reaches True Immortal.
Not even a True Immortal, not to mention a Celestial Immortal, but at least there’s now a chance with these.
The morning hear the Dao, evening can die peacefully!
This life, if granted a chance to undergo the True Immortal Tribulation, he wouldn’t regret it even if he failed and perished.
At this moment, Master Xuanwei’s heart surged with pride for his decision to support this grand-disciple with insight and determination in the past.
"Having this grand-disciple is a blessing for our lineage!"
After meeting the ancestor, next, Su Yu paid respects to the Sect Master and other elders of his lineage, presenting gifts according to closeness.
The gifts for the Sect Master were similar to the ancestor’s, three Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits and fifty Peaches of Immortality, but no treasures or Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits, he didn’t have many of those, couldn’t afford to give them all.
Other elders didn’t receive Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits, only ten Peaches of Immortality each, totaling over a hundred given.
Afterward, a grand gift package was given to his inexpensive master, Jin Yinian, also without Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits, his cultivation was too low to utilize them, but included thirty Peaches of Immortality and three Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits.
Third senior brother Shi Chunan, fifth senior sister Jin Qianyue, and a few years ago, master accepted a junior sister, named He Caihan, a petite and lovely little beauty, currently only at Qi refining.
Su Yu treated each equally, giving each three Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits and ten Peaches of Immortality, along with two Tier Nine Treasures.
Tier Ten Treasures were the sect-guarding treasures on Blue Mountain, but for the Cyan Immortal Domain, they were only mid-level, purchasable if wealthy.
Before returning, Su Yu had purchased many, coupled with the numerous Celestial Immortals that fell by his hands, their spoils included over ten Tier Ten Treasures and many Tier Nine Treasures, perfect for gift-giving to foster relations.
After giving all necessary gifts, excluding the 500 Peaches needed for the peach banquet next month, Su Yu still had 65 Cyan Heavenly Spirit Fruits and 2443 Peaches left for personal use.
In the future, he will no longer give generously, perhaps gifting a bit to his master and two human race senior brothers when he returns to Profound Clarity Upper Sect, otherwise, mostly for personal use, and perhaps trade for treasures of the same tier.
Unfortunately, he only had one Time Crystal left, otherwise he wouldn’t need to worry.
But he had no regrets, as the Chaos Pearl, even if it required ten Time Crystals or a hundred, he would have spent them without hesitation, their value was on completely different levels.
After almost a week of visiting elders, he still didn’t have leisure time. Upon knowing his return, the sect’s true inheritors and several newly risen core disciples came to visit and invited him to banquets.
Afterwards, he had to handle sect duties, understand the changes and major events within the sect over the last decade.
In his Dao field, Su Yu opened the gate to the Chaos Realm and entered, heading directly to the core where five Chaos cocoons, large and small, continued nurturing.
However, the aura in those four smaller Chaos cocoons had completely stabilized, seemingly not far from forming.
The aura inside was exceptionally powerful, at least ten times stronger compared to when he first saw them.
Though realm unchanged, the aura increased tenfold, attesting to the substantial difference over time.
With the original talent and foundational abilities of the four women, even reaching Celestial Immortal was challenging, whether they could reach True Immortal relied entirely on whether Su Yu might find better opportunities to aid them in the future.
