Su Yu of the Inner Family
These four Su Family Inner House Disciple were considered half- Disciple of Su Bai.
Back then, when Su Bai was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm and about to break through to the Golden Core Formation, he instructed Su Yao to mobilize all the members of the Su clan in the city to search for Su clan members with Spirit Root.
After a thorough Survey, these four exceptionally Talent descendants of the Su family were finally found among tens of thousands of Su family members.
Among them, one member of the Su Family possessed Three Spirit Root, making him the most outstanding in Talent.
The other three all possessed Four Spirit Roots, which, while slightly inferior, still allowed them to embark on the Immortal Path.
Time flies, and nearly thirty years have passed. Su Bai's cultivation level is now vastly different from what it used to be, and his four Disciple have naturally made considerable progress as well.
At this moment, Su Bai's Divine Sense swept over the four Su clan disciples, instantly discerning their Cultivation Realm.
The Su Family member with the Three Spirit Root Talent had already reached the Qi Refining Layer Nine, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.
Looking at the other three, their cultivation levels ranged from the fourth to the sixth level of Qi Refining, indicating a slower progress.
This member of the Su Family, who Three Spirit Root Talent, had to respectfully address Su Bai as his Imperial Uncle according to seniority; his name was Su Yu.
This young man not only possesses a decent Spirit Root Talent, but also appears to be diligent in his cultivation and single-mindedly devoted to the Dao. He is the most promising candidate among this group of Cultivator to Foundation Establishment, and even the Golden Core Formation stage.
"Su Yu, right? His cultivation is not slow at all, not bad." Su Bai's gaze fell on Su Yu, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
The cultivation supplies that Su Bai left for the four of them were not small, but they were definitely not many either.
Since this was an experimental system establishment, Su Bai naturally wouldn't invest too much in it at the time.
Given such limited resources, Su Yu's ability to cultivate to the Qi Refining Layer Nine in just a few decades undoubtedly proves the effort he has put into cultivation.
In contrast, the other three were completely ignored by Su Bai.
Their Four Spirit Roots Talent were already mediocre, and one of them had been cultivating for thirty years but was still stuck at the Qi Refining Layer Four. Clearly, he was indulging in worldly pleasures and neglecting his cultivation.
Su Bai recalled his experience at the Jade Mist Sect, where there were also Disciple with the Four Spirit Roots.
However, those Disciple only need about ten years on average to cultivate to the Qi Refining Layer Four.
Thirty years is enough time for them to reach the Qi Refining Layer Six.
That kid didn't need to do any missions; he used his own cultivation resources to cultivate for thirty years and was still only at the Qi Refining Layer Four. It's already quite good that Su Bai didn't slap him away.
However, everyone has their own destiny. This young man only seeks pleasure and will naturally not catch Su Bai. He is destined to turn into a handful of Yellow Earth decades later.
Upon hearing Su Bai's evaluation, Su Yu was overjoyed.
He knew that his hard work over the past few decades had not been in vain, and the Family Head had seen it all.
For the past thirty years, apart from the Empress occasionally asking for his help, he has devoted almost all his time to cultivation.
Even at the end of each year, while others were celebrating the holidays, he would still be alone in his Cultivation Room, practicing asceticism.
It was through this persistent effort that Su Yu was able to cultivate to the Qi Refining Layer Nine with his Three Spirit Root Talent over thirty years.
He was truly devoted to the Dao, wanting to become a Top Grade cultivator like Su Bai and achieve immortality!
"The cultivation resources of the Family Head are hard-won. I am able to stay in the Imperial Capital and cultivate peacefully entirely thanks to the support of the Old Ancestor. Therefore, how could I dare to slack off in my cultivation?!" Su Yu bowed respectfully and then spoke.
This young man is quite appreciative, a stark contrast to the Qi Refining Layer Four.
Seeing this, Su Bai's face showed satisfaction, and he nodded slightly to indicate his approval of Su Yu.
Su Bai waved his hand, releasing a powerful Spiritual Pressure Spiritual Pressure, like an invisible hand, gently lifted Su Yu's body.
"Get up," Su Bai said calmly.
Su Yu slowly stood up and bowed to Su Bai again.
"Su Yu, you did very well," Su Bai said with a smile, then waved.
A small Storage Bag slowly flew into Su Yu's hand.
"There are some cultivation resources here, enough to sustain your cultivation from now on, and three Foundation Establishment Pill for you to use in Foundation Establishment," Su Bai explained.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu felt a surge of joy.
He was no longer a novice cultivator, so he naturally knew the effects of Foundation Establishment Pill and what these three Foundation Establishment Pill meant to him.
With these, his chances of successfully Foundation Establishment will greatly increase.
Overjoyed, Su Yu didn't fully reveal his emotions. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm. "Thank you for the reward, Old Ancestor!"
Since the Old Ancestor has taken a liking to me, I must be more composed and steady in the future.
Su Bai looked at Su Yu, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Once you successfully Foundation Establishment, the position of Su Family Inner House Head will be handed over to you," Su Bai said slowly.
These words struck Su Yu like a thunderclap.
His eyes widened as he stared at Su Bai in disbelief. The position of head of the inner family...
However, Su Yu quickly regained his composure. He hurriedly cupped his hands again, saying with tears of gratitude, "Thank you for your trust, Old Ancestor! I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Su Bai nodded slightly, his voice gradually turning cold. "Furthermore, the Su Family Outer House, being the direct line of my branch, although they haven't produced any cultivators yet, the emperor of the Su family must maintain his current status, and this cannot be changed under any circumstances."
"Therefore, whether it is you or the next head of the inner family, no matter what level your cultivation has reached, you must maintain absolute respect for the Emperor of Yan, the outer family."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides maintaining the strength and continuity of the Inner Household, Inner Household Cultivator cannot refuse any reasonable request from the Emperor. This is not only a responsibility to the Lineage, but also a matter of respect for my lineage."
"At the same time, you also have the obligation to help your maternal family maintain the purity of the Direct Bloodline and ensure the continuation of our lineage."
"This is not a simple instruction, but Lineage rule. If anyone dares to disobey, I will show absolutely no mercy. I wouldn't hesitate to personally destroy the Inner Household to uphold the dignity and traditions of my lineage."
Su Yu listened without the slightest hesitation.
He immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation, indicating that he fully understood Su Bai's meaning.
For Su Yu, being able to cultivate immortality was already his dream. Compared to that, the requirement of simply being loyal to a mortal emperor was a trivial matter.
Not to mention that this direct descendant is a descendant of the Imperial Uncle, from the same lineage, so it should be so.
The other three Su clan Cultivator quickly followed suit, expressing their absolute loyalty to the Emperor of Yan Kingdom.
Su Bai said, "In that case, once you advance to the Foundation Establishment, you can begin the next round of Spirit Root Test for Inner Family Disciple."
"The cultivation resources in my Storage Bag are enough for a long time, but perhaps they could be allocated more efficiently."
"I hope that when I return next time, the Su Family Inner Family will resemble a cultivation Lineage."
Su Yu nodded earnestly and replied, "Imperial Uncle, Su Yu will certainly not fail in his mission!"
"Alright, you may leave."
Su Bai waved his hand, and the four Cultivator, including Su Yu, bowed and retreated, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They wondered how many years it would be before they saw Su Bai again.
