Insightful Observation

[Deng Rusong's expression relaxed.]

[Xie Huide exchanged a glance with him, also revealing a gratified smile.]

[The atmosphere between you all became harmonious and joyful once more, even to the point where you might want to make dumplings together.]

[In fact, you had carefully considered it just now.]

[Now that the disguise has fallen away, and you've all been frank and open with each other,]

[You can brazenly remain in the Danxia Sect and continue popping pills to cultivate.]

[Because there are actually no irreconcilable conflicts between you.]

[You haven't done anything to betray the Danxia Sect, haven't gone off to mess around with other rogue sects.]

[Xie Huide and the others haven't caused you any real harm.]

[It's just that they were a bit loud when reciting classical Chinese to you earlier.]

[Have Xie Huide compensate you with a tiny bit of Inner Divinity Pill, and the matter is over.]

[You're still good friends.]

[Moreover, you'll be able to receive the protection of two alchemy grandmasters in the future, and a constant supply of pills.]

[This is a privilege that even their own fathers don't have.]

[You just need to take care of the shimu who likes to sleep in.]

[This job has a very high cost-performance ratio.]

[And although you agreed to take care of the shimu, you feel that it won't be your turn at all.]

[After all, you still have plan A and plan B ahead of you.]

[If you, plan C, actually end up getting promoted to the main position, you'll immediately do a handstand and eat...eat a sunflower seed, I guess.]

[After all, you can't be too absolute.]

[And judging from how much Xie Huide values you, even as a backup plan for a backup plan,]

[Xie Huide's feelings for Deng Wanshu are already deeper than the Peach Blossom Pool.]

[At this moment, Xie Huide and Deng Rusong exchanged a glance.]

[The two nodded almost imperceptibly.]

[Then, Deng Rusong turned to you and said, "He Yu, there's one more condition we haven't mentioned."]

["Sect Leader, use whatever tricks you have left."]

[Deng Rusong smiled and said, "I plan to make you the next Sect Leader of the Danxia Sect!"]

[You were stunned: "Are you going to such great lengths?"]

[Handing the entire Danxia Sect over to you means that you can take whatever you want to eat at that time.]

[This is indeed very sincere.]

[However, you glanced at them and noticed a cunning smile appearing on the faces of these two young-looking old men.]

[You were stunned.]

[Then, you understood that this position of Sect Leader is not only a benefit for you,]

[It's also a rope to trap you in the Danxia Sect!]

[If you become the Sect Leader and become the boss,]

[The entire sect will listen to you, so how could you possibly betray the sect?]

[There's no such thing as an emperor rebelling.]

[You'll have some sense of belonging to the Danxia Sect.]

[And when the time comes, seeing how good Xie Huide is to you, protecting the shimu will be a simple matter.]

[Xie Huide is using an open scheme to ensnare you.]

[However, you don't care about this kind of open scheme.]

[Because all you seek is to increase your cultivation realm.]

[You don't care whether they make you the Sect Leader or a stone lion squatting at the door.]

[As long as you can revel in the ocean of pills,]

[As long as you can pop pills every day in a state of blissful intoxication, you're fine with anything.]

[You thought for a moment and asked, "Why choose me to be the next Sect Leader? Is it just because I have an impressive appearance?"]

[Deng Rusong slowly opened his mouth and said, "Among the younger generation of the Danxia Sect, no one surpasses you in martial arts talent, and you can also rank in the top three in alchemy talent. Most importantly...you dare to kill!"]

[The cultivation conditions for the Danxia Sect disciples are very good. The members of the sect don't need to go out and fight with others for a little bit of resources.]

[But precisely because of this, compared to you, the other disciples are like flowers raised in a greenhouse.]

[They will all wither when they encounter a little wind and rain.]

"You're more like a wild weed with tenacious vitality, having endured many storms."

"Eventually, you'll definitely grow into a towering weed."

"And if the leader of a sect isn't tough and decisive in killing, the sect will decline sooner or later."

You smiled. "If Sect Leader praises me like that, I'll get arrogant. But why does Sect Leader say my alchemy talent ranks in the top three?"

"The Village Elder and Fifth Elder's direct disciples also reached the fourth-grade alchemist level not long ago!"

"Do they have the Insightful Observation talent?"

"Of course not... Huh? What do you mean?!" Deng Rusong suddenly looked over. "You have the Insightful Observation talent?!"

Xie Huide also looked over in surprise, his face full of anticipation.

You scratched your head. "I'm not sure. Let Master help me confirm it."

Afterward, you described your mysterious state from last time to Xie Huide in detail.

Xie Huide even taught you how to enter the Insightful Observation state.

In the end, although you didn't enter that state again, you did show related symptoms... related phenomena.

Your performance was verified one by one by Xie Huide.

He was very certain that you indeed possessed the Insightful Observation talent!

Xie Huide was very excited.

He laughed loudly, saying that having two talents in one disciple meant he had the potential to become a Great Emperor.

You were even more excited than him.

Because this meant you could try to comprehend the Earth Source while maintaining the Insightful Observation state.

You finally saw hope of gnawing at the Earth Source.

Deng Rusong on the side was so angry that he almost fainted.

He repeatedly lamented that Xie Huide's luck was too good.

Deng Rusong even asked if you wanted to re-enter his tutelage as an eighth-grade alchemist.

You were a person who stuck to your choices, so you naturally told Deng Rusong to wait a few years, until Xie Huide was dead.

Xie Huide was so angry that he called you a rebellious disciple, almost cutting off his breath a few years early.

Xie Huide compiled his notes on Insightful Observation into a book and gave them all to you.

He told you to try to get started using the methods he had explored.

He also instructed you to ask him immediately if you didn't understand anything.

The proficiency standard for Insightful Observation was similar to that of alchemy.

If you reached the entry-level proficiency, Then you could successfully enter the state once or twice out of ten attempts, and maintain the state for about fifteen minutes.

After reaching a higher proficiency level later, the probability of successfully entering the Insightful Observation state and the length of time you could maintain the state would increase accordingly.

Each time you entered the Insightful Observation state, there was a cool-down period, or, in layman's terms, a refractory period.

In your uninitiated state, you could only try to enter the Insightful Observation state again every ten days.

Xie Huide was at the great success proficiency level, but he had not yet reached perfection.

After Xie Huide finished explaining everything to you, Deng Rusong winked at you.

You understood that he wanted Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu to be alone for a while.

So you left the pill refining room with Deng Rusong.

Xie Huide sat silently by the cold jade bed, accompanying Deng Wanshu.

His eyes were full of deep affection as he looked at Deng Wanshu.

As if the rarest treasure in the world was lying there.

You and Deng Rusong came to his courtyard.

He asked if you needed cultivation methods or martial skills.

You asked him for a sect-level Grandmaster cultivation method, preferably a saber technique.

Your Desolate Heaven Saber Technique could only be cultivated to the Divine Organ stage, and it would soon reach its limit.

Although the Heavenly Desire Formless Skill could be cultivated to Dragon Transformation, it wasn't focused on killing.

You needed a cultivation method that focused on attack.

Deng Rusong promised to give it to you within two months.

He needed to find connections to exchange for the cultivation method.

He also asked if you were short on pills.

Although you could refine Inner Divinity Pill yourself, [But if it can save time to use for cultivation, of course it's even better.]

[So you asked Deng Rusong for two thousand Inner Divinity Pills to test the flavor.]

[You were curious if the Inner Divinity Pills refined by an eighth-grade alchemist would taste better.]

[You threw one into your mouth right then and there.]

[You smacked your lips: "Hmm, tastes exactly the same, damn it."]
