Face Your Own Insignificance

"This Master Su is a bit terrifying! That 'mysterious stele descending from the sky' incident was an accidental natural disaster! He even deduced it, and said the mysterious stone stele is the 'Soul Suppressing Stele'! This is a true master!"

Yun Qingxuan, who had high aspirations and was extremely rational, was also a little frightened at this moment.

Immediately, she thought of something deeper—if all the Heavenly Secrets Masters in this world were at this level, then all the endless opportunities in this world would completely belong to no other cultivators!

Seeing that even Yun Qingxuan, a person of great perseverance and extreme rationality, was shocked, Su Li felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Alas, with such great ability, even a woman as rationally extreme as Yun Qingxuan couldn't handle it!

Su Li was very satisfied in his heart, but still said indifferently, "What are you still愣着 doing? Pour the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' in!"

Yun Qingxuan was stunned, then understood, and poured the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' into the Purple Rhyme Pot.

This way, the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' brewed with spiritual spring water and a spiritual pot could exert its effects to the fullest!

As for what 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' was, Yun Qingxuan vaguely seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea? A top-tier sacred medicine for transforming Nascent Souls, extremely precious even in the Era of Demise?"

Hua Yunxiao, who had just released the spiritual spring water, trembled all over, his expression changed.

He exclaimed in disbelief.

Yun Wanchu was also completely stunned, and then showed a look of horror.

The Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea was rumored to be "one cup, one Saint Infant"!

Although this saying was a bit exaggerated, it also indirectly stated that its effect on transforming the quality of Nascent Souls was astonishingly good!

"The effect is actually not that exaggerated. On one hand, this tea is not fresh tea, but old tea that has been aged for many years, so its efficacy is less than one-tenth. On the other hand, even if it is fresh tea, it is not the highest quality. It is only of upper-middle quality. With this quality, it is impossible to transform a Nascent Soul to the Saint Infant level in one cup."

Su Li's tone was as calm as ever.

Hearing this, Hua Yunxiao felt a little ashamed, because he had wanted to transform his Nascent Soul for a long time, and it was one of his inner demons.

"Even so, it is already extremely, extremely precious!"

Hua Yunxiao sighed with emotion.

At this time, Yun Qingxuan had already poured the remaining small pinch of tea leaves from the ancient dark black tea caddy into the Purple Rhyme Pot.

Then, Yun Qinghong began to "brew tea" attentively.

Hua Yunxiao and Yun Wanchu stood by, providing protection.

Su Li looked at Yun Qingxuan, who had become reverent, and then glanced at Zhuge Qingchen, signaling him.

Zhuge Qingchen understood immediately and waved his hand, releasing a Heavenly Secrets barrier formation that enveloped Su Li and Yun Qingxuan.

Su Li then said with a solemn expression, "The mysterious item in your hand contains your mother's secret. Do not activate it for now—because whether your mother can be resurrected depends on whether you can activate this item after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

You are working hard to cultivate, aren't you just wanting to enter the Nascent Soul Realm and explore some truths? I'm telling you, the Nascent Soul Realm is only the initial qualification, but it's far from enough!

As for that item, it is called the 'Soul Locking Tower'. You can probably guess some of its meaning and function from its name, right?

I won't say more, because with your current ability, you cannot bear this karma!"

Boom!

Hearing this, Yun Qingxuan was struck by lightning again, her scalp tingled, and goosebumps broke out all over her body!

This was like stripping away all her secrets at once and throwing them fiercely in front of her!

Yun Qingxuan's body trembled slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the young man in front of her, who had no spiritual energy fluctuations on his body, was like a god looking down on all beings, so awe-inspiring!

Yun Qingxuan stared blankly at Su Li, speechless for a long time.

Originally, she already thought Su Li was very powerful, but now she realized that she had still severely underestimated this person's ability!

At that moment, her mind went blank, and she almost immediately wanted to kneel and beg—Master Su, please help me! As long as my great revenge can be avenged, Qingxuan is willing to pledge her life to serve you, to follow you to the death!

But she still forcefully restrained herself.

She couldn't do this!

Even if she wanted revenge, she had to personally kill her enemy with absolute strength!

Therefore, Yun Qingxuan's emotions quickly calmed down, and she bowed slightly to Su Li, saying gratefully, "Qingxuan thanks Master Su for your guidance."

Su Li nodded calmly, his expression returning to peace.

In fact, if he were a simpering dog, seeing the cold and beautiful fairy Yun Qingxuan wanting to kneel and beg, wanting to follow him to the death, and even willing to pay any price for it... he would probably be extremely excited at this moment, wishing to give everything for her, and would make all sorts of promises to help her solve all kinds of difficulties.

But unfortunately, he wasn't, and never was!

Through this incident, Su Li realized a very serious problem—his identity, status, and how he should conduct himself in the future!

This problem even concerned how his future path should be walked!

Su Li pondered for a moment, temporarily not thinking deeply, but instead signaled Zhuge Qingchen to cancel the shielding effect, and then said, "Since you're all here, let's watch together. Next."

Yun Qingxuan silently walked to Fang Yueheng's side, then stood there quietly, watching Su Li deduce.

Su Li also felt a slight regret—Yun Qingxuan bore a deep-seated hatred and karma.

Unfortunately, checking this person's Life Archive for the next seven days only required 20 Heavenly Secrets Value, which meant investing in her was meaningless—at least, not in the short term.

Although the future is not set in stone, as long as it isn't forcefully interfered with, it's difficult to change.

After Yun Qingxuan came her younger brother, Yun Qinghong.

Su Li had checked Yun Qinghong's situation once before. After checking again this time, he discovered that Yun Qinghong's Destiny had changed from "imminent demise" to "emotional confusion, otherwise all affairs are favorable, and aspirations will be fulfilled..."

The meaning contained within this Destiny was self-evident.

Su Li attempted to lock onto this person's Life Archive and view the next seven days' worth of records. The system's displayed cost was only 20 points.

This meant that he couldn't harvest any Heavenly Secrets Value from this person in the coming days.

Therefore, Su Li directly dismissed him.

Next, Su Li roughly looked at Zhao Zhihan, Sun Chengfeng, Feng Qianqian, and Que Xinyan.

Among these four, Zhao Zhihan and Feng Qianqian had excellent Destinies.

Su Li saw that Sun Chengfeng had a Destiny of "late bloomer," meaning he would achieve extraordinary things in the future, but was currently a type of person who felt unrecognized and frustrated.

There was no Heavenly Secrets Value to be harvested from these three, so Su Li did not perform any deductions.

However, the disciple named "Que Xinyan" made Su Li's eyes light up slightly.

This person's strength was not outstanding. At 25 years old, he possessed a Golden Core Realm sixth-level cultivation, making him quite ordinary in all aspects.

But Su Li paid attention to him because he possessed a physique called the "Yin Earth Spirit Physique." This physique leaned towards darkness and density, which was why Que Xinyan was stout and square, with a broad, dark face that was quite eye-catching.

Su Li liked being around people like this; it made his own handsomeness stand out even more!

Besides his plump, bucket-like physique and his dark, pancake-like face, Que Xinyan was also a genuine, bona fide simp. He was simping for an elite female disciple with a "green tea" personality who secretly cultivated the "Yin Yang Joy" technique.

This female disciple was named "Qiao Lian'er." She had long since secretly investigated Que Xinyan's background and knew that he possessed the "Yin Earth Spirit Physique," which prevented him from dual cultivation. Furthermore, she knew that his... was even shorter and weaker than that of ordinary men, so she didn't even bother to humor him.

This was an exceptionally sad story.

Su Li hadn't expected to encounter such an oddity in this world and couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed simps existed in every world!

This guy's head was greener than a lush prairie – assuming Qiao Lian'er ever accepted him. However, given his heaven-cursed face... the chances were probably slim.

Su Li casually mentioned a bit of Que Xinyan's past, and Que Xinyan was immediately amazed, respecting him to the point of prostrating himself.

Seeing that Que Xinyan had started to take him seriously, Su Li then said meaningfully, "Que Xinyan, actually... the shaded path you yearn for is covered in white frost every morning and night."

Que Xinyan pondered for a moment, believing that Master Su was hinting that his future cultivation path as a Yin Earth Spirit Physique user would be narrow, but there would be surprises sooner or later.

He then said emotionally, "Even if the shaded path turns into a dark abyss, that is still where I wish to explore. I believe that one day, I will enter there and find my belonging!"

Su Li's mouth twitched, and his breath hitched. "Yes... there will be surpris... surprises sooner or later. Hmm, when you can enter easily, you should understand that it's not because you are powerful, but because that place can tolerate your insignificance!"

Que Xinyan deeply agreed, bowed, and said, "Yes, we cultivators should hold reverence in our hearts and acknowledge our own insignificance..."

Su Li coughed and said, "You, not us."

Que Xinyan immediately tried to please him, "Yes, yes, Master Su is naturally not insignificant."

"Master Su, you've worked hard. Please have some tea."

At this moment, Yun Qinghong had finished preparing the tea. At Hua Yunxiao's signal, Yun Wanchu poured a cup for Su Li first, circulated his spiritual energy to lower the temperature to the most suitable level, and respectfully handed it over.

Su Li did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the spiritual jade teacup and took a sip in front of everyone.

As he drank the tea, Su Li felt as if he had drunk a true spiritual spring. Various sensations – coolness, warmth, heat, refreshing fragrance, intoxicating aroma – instantly spread from his mouth throughout his entire body!

The next moment, Su Li felt all his acupoints open, and a misty aura rose from him. Simultaneously, a swift flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind!

At that moment, an extremely bold idea spontaneously arose!
