Bad at Everything, Number One at Fearing Death

Yun Wanchu's handsome face, full of charm, was a picture of astonishment.

He had always believed he walked the righteous path and stood on firm ground. Little did he know, Su Li's words had completely overturned his foundation!

Beside Yun Wanchu, Hua Ziyan and Mu Yuxi exchanged bewildered glances.

The information in Master Su's words seemed overwhelming?

Understanding each other, the two women pursed their lips slightly and looked at Yun Wanchu with peculiar expressions.

Yun Wanchu's facial muscles twitched a few times. He felt his aged face could no longer hold its composure.

This Su Li, Master Su, is truly something! I wasn't saying I didn't believe you, so why say everything out loud!

Do I, Yun Wanchu, have no shame?

"Master Su, this... let's talk about A Li's life calamity. I, this Holy Lord, um, I still believe this matter is the most important!"

Yun Wanchu quickly interrupted Su Li's follow-up revelations. If this continued, his prestige as Holy Lord would be utterly ruined!

Seeing this, Su Li knew things were going as planned and said with a smile, "Based on the changes in Holy Lord Yun's physiognomy earlier, this master's deduction has already detected the hidden crisis. Therefore, I had to reveal one ten-thousandth of my deductive ability to convince Holy Lord Yun.

After all, this master is a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand generations, inevitably envied by heaven. Currently, my fate is fraught with hardship, and I must eliminate all crises in their nascent stage."

Yun Wanchu was utterly speechless upon hearing this.

At this point, he had already reined in his imposing aura as a Nascent Soul stage expert, becoming like a normal middle-aged man. Clearly, in front of Master Su Li, it was safer to appear as an ordinary person.

Seeing Yun Wanchu adopt a proper attitude, Su Li did not continue revealing secrets. After all, he was a man of great moral character and noble sentiments. How could he casually expose others' private lives?

Su Li lightly condemned himself, then felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

"Master Su, I... I admit I was wrong, okay? Master Su, look, regarding A Li's matter, how exactly should we proceed?"

Yun Wanchu straightened his attitude and immediately became somewhat subservient, asking cautiously.

Su Li looked at Yun Wanchu with a hint of surprise. He then secretly accessed his Life Archive System and examined it closely, confirming that Yun Wanchu was thoroughly 'intimidated' and had no ulterior motives. Only then did he feel somewhat relieved.

Indeed, although Yun Wanchu was a Nascent Soul old monster and a prominent figure of the current era, Hua Ziyan's father had offered a very incisive evaluation of him: "Good at nothing except being the most afraid of death!"

It was precisely because this man was overly cautious that most of the Hua Clan members perished, while he managed to live quite comfortably.

"The method of dealing with it will not be elaborated further. Fairy Li, you explain it to Holy Lord Yun."

Su Li gestured to Hua Ziyan.

"Yes, Master Su, please wait a moment."

Hua Ziyan immediately bowed respectfully upon hearing this, adopting a very humble posture.

A Heavenly Secrets master like Su Li, who possessed true talent and an unparalleled appearance, was rare in the world. She could not afford to be disrespectful.

Afterward, Hua Ziyan and Yun Wanchu began to discuss.

However, on every detail, Yun Wanchu would glance at Su Li, as if seeking his approval – Should Master deduce this? Is the safety sufficient?

Initially, Su Li would cooperate by deducing and checking the Life Archive.

But when Yun Wanchu, after killing a few Puppet Death Warriors, suspected that the enemy had laid a trap and intended to fight him to the death, thus hoping Su Li would repeatedly deduce all possible dangers, Su Li genuinely felt the urge to slap him to death. This guy must have developed a persecution complex!

You're a Nascent Soul old monster, nearly seven hundred years old, and you're still this timid when killing a few Golden Core Puppet Death Warriors that you consider mere underlings?

Su Li felt immense contempt for him. So, that radiant, divine, powerful appearance from before was just an act!

Finally, the two finished their discussion.

Su Li knew it was time to state his request. However, he naturally could not reveal the truth of his 'inability.'

"Holy Lord Yun, I have a friend who owes me a great debt. Previously, I promised him that I would help him find a cultivation method. Therefore, I used Heavenly Secrets techniques to manifest symptoms similar to his, testing the method myself. Holy Lord Yun, in this situation, how should one cultivate, and how can his safety be ensured? Do those special pills that allow one to reach Foundation Establishment and Golden Core in a single step exist?"

Su Li changed his approach to inquire about cultivation-related difficulties.

As for himself...

As a Heavenly Secrets master, it was impossible for him to be unable to cultivate.

"Master Su, your... your friend has not yet entered the Qi Refining stage and cannot control the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Even with top-tier protective treasures, he cannot refine them... As for those 'disposable' talismans that can fuse with soul energy, they offer some protective effect, but it's extremely minimal.

Regarding pills, there are no pills that allow one to reach Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment and Golden Core in a single step.

Of course, such immortal pills might have existed in the Era of Demise or even the more ancient Primordial Era, but they are long extinct now," Yun Wanchu said with great certainty after pondering for a long time.

"How about this, Master Su goes to such lengths for his friend, even sealing himself and disregarding his own safety. Let Mu Yuxi serve as a tea-serving maid by Master's side."

Yun Wanchu thought for a moment, then looked back and forth at Mu Yuxi a few times. He had noticed Mu Yuxi stealing glances at Su Li several times.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuxi's pretty face immediately flushed with shyness. She felt a mix of apprehension and inexplicable anticipation.

"This matter can be discussed later."

Su Li felt somewhat disheartened.

The hope of cleansing his meridians and bones, then reaching the Nascent Soul stage with a single pill, had been ruthlessly shattered.

Now, even obtaining a set of heaven-defying spiritual armor or other life-saving treasures from Yun Wanchu had become a luxury?

Was this world simply too cruel!

If one doesn't have talent or constitution for cultivation, wanting to turn things around would be like waiting for smoke to rise from ancestral graves, wouldn't it?

No, even if smoke rose from ancestral graves, they probably still wouldn't be able to turn things around, right?

A sense of crisis arose in Su Li's heart, and at the same time, he valued the 'Life Archive System' even more.

"Master Su, the Holy Land has some guardian talismans. Although they are single-use, they can provide excellent protective effects and have much lower requirements. Perhaps... should... probably... possibly... they can succeed then."

Yun Wanchu thought for a moment before speaking, not very confidently.

Hearing this, Su Li's breath hitched—with this person's way of speaking, they'd definitely not survive two episodes on a TV show!

That's right, this person was about to perish, he was going to die.

Su Li looked up and glanced at Yun Wanchu with a hint of pity.

This gaze made Yun Wanchu tremble all over, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Master Su, your... your gaze is making me a little... a little fearful. These past few days, I've been very uneasy. Based on past experience, something big is about to happen.

Now that A Li's matter seems to be properly resolved, why am I still like this?

Did Master Su see... see that Wanchu is facing some calamity? Please, Master, do not hesitate to guide me. Wanchu will be eternally grateful."

Yun Wanchu panicked, his expression filled with uncertainty and doubt.

This reaction, however, made Su Li think more highly of him.

He just gave a look of pity, and the other party actually captured it so sensitively?

Is this person truly amazing, or just truly afraid of death?

"Let's talk as we walk. It's time to set off."

Su Li neither agreed nor refused.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Yun Wanchu, but to check Yun Wanchu's Life Archive for the next three days, he didn't have nearly enough Heavenly Secrets Value.

Moreover, whether he would perish within the next three days was also unknown.

Next, Hua Ziyan and Mu Yuxi flew normally on their swords towards the 'Wanli Holy Land'.

Yun Wanchu suppressed his unease, released the 'Phantom Spirit Boat', brought Su Li aboard, and turned into a blur, quietly following them high in the sky behind Hua Ziyan.

In the flying boat, Yun Wanchu sighed with emotion, "Master Su, I imagine you'll soon become a Heavenly Secrets Master of the Spiritual Master level, right?"

"Spiritual Master? What Spiritual Master?"

Su Li looked completely bewildered. He was currently thinking about how to get his hands on this 'Phantom Spirit Boat'.

"???"

Yun Wanchu was stunned by Su Li's question.
