The Handbook's "Value" and the "Angel God's Blessing"

The Handbook's "Value" and the "Angel God's Blessing"

Hearing him say that, Broad Hill and Azure Luan did not react much. After all, Han Li had said he would only research it in his spare time from cultivation, as a hobby. They had no objection to that.

"Mm, then it's fine. As long as it doesn't affect your cultivation, do whatever you like. But you've got a sharp eye, kid. Little Chrysanthemum treasures those precious plants of his dearly. That request is practically asking for half his life." Broad Hill poured another cup of wine down his throat and laughed heartily.

"So, Master, it's time to write up those insights for them," Han Li reminded him.

"Oh, no problem. Let's begin now. I'll write it all out clearly for him. As for whether they can comprehend it, that depends on their own understanding."

Broad Hill seemed to think of something and exchanged a look with Han Li. Matching smiles appeared on the master and disciple's faces. To Azure Luan, who stood nearby, those smiles somehow seemed rather unscrupulous. Clearly, the two had not spent as much time together as either had with him, yet when it came to such matters, they were inexplicably in sync. He could only attribute it to the compatibility between master and disciple. Fate truly was wondrous beyond words.

Thus, under Azure Luan's watchful gaze, the master and disciple whispered to each other as they pulled out a booklet and began scribbling away.

At first, Azure Luan was somewhat surprised. Broad Hill was actually obediently writing down his cultivation insights. But after watching for a while, he finally raised his head to the sky with a face full of black lines.

That was right. Broad Hill had indeed written in great detail, but the guy had actually started from the Soul Master stage. The steps were laid out so thoroughly that even Azure Luan could not find the slightest fault with them. It was only when he wrote about Rank 95 that his intentions were exposed.

He had indeed written down his genuine experiences, because what he had written was basically Spirit Hall's internal materials—the kind that all Titled Douluo were qualified to consult. Yet as soon as he reached anything remotely specific, he began to couch everything in vague terms.

For example: Breaking through to Rank 96 was actually very simple. Once you reached Rank 95, you only needed to start developing the unique traits of your own martial soul. It was relatively easy. Or: This was actually explained quite clearly in the internal materials. Those who understood would understand; as for those who did not, it was not convenient for me to say too much. This came down to personal talent. If you did not understand, you still would not understand even if I explained it, so, did you understand or not?

Of course, Broad Hill had not written nothing but such nonsense. His heart was not completely black, though it was not much better either. He had specifically noted that if one possessed Twin Martial Souls, one could also try adding soul rings to the second martial soul. That might offer a chance to break through the bottleneck. If not, then there was nothing to be done.

Had Broad Hill told the truth? He had indeed, just not all of it. That was because he had been in precisely that state before. He had broken through to Rank 96 after reading the internal materials, and as for what came after, he had indeed been stuck for a long time.

He simply had not included his insights from breaking through to Rank 97, nor the things the other elders had told him. After all, Bibi Dong's request had been for him to guide Chrysanthemum Ghost in breaking through to Rank 96. What she wanted was his own insight, and he had no right to spread the others' teachings.

He had not told a single lie. The Angel God could bear witness to that. He was even planning to swear it in person tomorrow.

After finishing, Broad Hill read through it once more, making sure the only useful content in it was the original internal materials. He was very satisfied with this. Chrysanthemum Ghost had already read those materials more than once. If they could truly break through based on his "those who understand would understand," then Broad Hill would admit defeat.

After thinking about it, he looked at Han Li and asked whether there was anything else he wanted to add.

Han Li thought for a moment. It was best to leave some room for future dealings. After all, the two of them still belonged to Spirit Hall. Who knew, perhaps they might end up on the same side someday.

So after hesitating briefly, he took the booklet and added a note at the end:

Your greatest reason for being unable to break through to Rank 96 is that you chose the wrong path before becoming Titled Douluo and exhausted your potential.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Guimei martial souls were never suited to the assault or agility systems. Forcing yourselves to cultivate into Super Douluo has already been exceedingly difficult. If you can find suitable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—one to reinforce your origin, the other to strengthen your soul—that would be the proper path.

Even if you now comprehend the mysteries of your martial souls, forcing a breakthrough will likely lead to unfavorable consequences. Please keep this firmly in mind.

After reading it, Broad Hill handed the booklet to Azure Luan. The two stared at the final note and pondered it for a long time. Then they gave Han Li strange looks for quite a while before finally looking away and voicing the same sentiment.

"You really are a freak, kid. Are these insights something a six-year-old should have? Sometimes, I truly want to crack open your head and see exactly what's inside that lets you think of such things."

"Maybe it's the Angel God's blessing."

Han Li answered casually, unconcerned by their astonishment.

He had relied on methods unlike anyone else's to find powerful backing in the first place, so naturally he did not mind revealing a little more. Besides, everything he had shown so far was merely a different way of thinking. As long as Qian Daoliu had not gone senile, he would be absolutely safe.

What was more, he would be making a series of moves afterward. If he did not appear different from ordinary people, how could he make those behind him support him wholeheartedly? Therefore, he had never planned to play the fool. He only needed to firmly choose the Worship Hall's side. As for everything else, someone would clear away the obstacles for him, wouldn't they?

"The Angel God's blessing?"

Broad Hill and Azure Luan's expressions grew even stranger. Though they did not know much, they knew at least a little about their boss's superior. Not to mention that there was a "senior" right in front of them.

If they remembered correctly, this kid had passed the Angel statue several times already without showing the slightest reaction. He really could not even come up with a more convincing excuse. If Grand Elder heard that, a beating would definitely be unavoidable.

Well, Broad Hill was the previous example of someone talking nonsense. Qian Daoliu had given him a vicious beating. That master-disciple tradition had not been lost in the slightest.

Seeing that it was late, the two Titled Douluo did not stay any longer. They sent Han Li back to his room, gave him the next day off, and then left together.

He was indeed tired. After returning to his room, Han Li decisively gave up on meditating and went straight to sleep. Before long, the quiet room was filled with his steady breathing.

The night passed without incident. It was not until nine the next morning that Han Li was awakened by Xiu'er.

After a simple wash, he hurried toward Azure Luan's residence. Ten in the morning was the agreed time for the transaction, and he could not miss it.

Most importantly, he absolutely had to obtain information about the immortal herbs. He could not let Chrysanthemum Douluo fool his teacher and get away with it. He could forgo anything else, but this was something he was determined to get.
