Shui Yue's Shock, More Word Plundering Attempts!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for taking your first glimpse into cultivation. The number of times you may plunder Word Traits has increased. Please check it.

Su Han, deep in meditation, heard the system prompt but paid it no heed.

He remained immersed in that wondrous world, unable to pull himself free.

Perhaps because this spiritual energy held no distinction between Buddhist, Daoist, or demonic, Su Han found that, under the effects of the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart Word Trait, absorbing spiritual energy was incredibly effortless.

It felt as natural and simple as breathing.

At that moment.

Shui Yue stared at Su Han, seated on his meditation cushion, her eyes filled with shock.

She had seen countless disciples cultivate the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, but she had never seen anyone draw spiritual energy into their body in such a short time.

Even Lu Xueqi back then had needed time to explore and figure it out before she could do so.

Yet Su Han, this youth whose innate talent she had deemed ordinary, had made such astonishing progress in so little time?

This was simply unbelievable!

Shui Yue parted her lips slightly, wanting to say something, yet not knowing where to begin.

Perhaps I need to reassess this newly initiated junior disciple?

Could it be that he possesses enormous potential I failed to notice?

Shui Yue pondered secretly, unable to stop herself from wondering if she had misjudged him.

Perhaps Su Han's aptitude is not as ordinary as it appears, but he possesses some special talent?

But soon enough.

Shui Yue shook her head. "How could that be!"

"Xueqi's talent rivals that of Sect Leader Senior Brother. How could Su Han possibly be compared to her?"

"Besides, although Su Han entered meditation quickly and absorbed spiritual energy at a rapid pace—"

"His progress in the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao is exceedingly slow. Most of that spiritual energy is wasted effort, simply dispersing for nothing."

No one knew how much time had passed.

As Su Han circulated his energy through a full cycle, he felt a faint pain in his meridians. He knew that today's cultivation had to end here.

"Huff!"

Su Han exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

As expected of a black Word Trait. It truly is powerful!

The only pity is that it can only increase the cultivation speed of Buddhist and demonic techniques.

If I want to cultivate all three teachings, I need to find a Word Trait related to Daoist cultivation that matches it—or at least one that is not too far below it—as soon as possible.

Otherwise, my cultivation speed for the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao will be unbearably slow.

Thinking of this, Su Han instinctively thought of Lu Xueqi.

Among Lu Xueqi's Word Traits were two gold Word Traits related to aptitude: Heavenly Prodigy (Gold) and Innate Dao Bone (Gold).

The Heavenly Prodigy Word Trait could improve all aptitudes.

With this Word Trait, whether it was one's foundation in Buddhism, Daoism, or demonic cultivation, or the cultivation of other techniques and sword arts, the cultivation speed would greatly increase. It was unquestionably an immensely powerful Word Trait.

The Innate Dao Bone, meanwhile, specifically enhanced aptitude for all Daoist cultivation, including Daoist techniques, formations, spells, and more. It was equally rare.

It was precisely because of these two great Word Traits that Lu Xueqi's talent could rival Daoxuan, the current Qingyun Sect Leader.

The system seemed to say just now that my number of Word Plundering attempts had increased and told me to check it.

Thinking of this.

Su Han moved his thoughts.

In an instant, a pale blue Attribute Panel, visible only to Su Han, appeared before him.

Name: Su Han

Cultivation: First Glimpse of the Path

Techniques: Great Brahma Prajna, Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao

Item: Blood Devouring Pearl

Spirit Pet: None

Available Word Plundering Attempts: 1

Owned Word Traits: Child of Destiny (White), Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart (Black)

Available Word Plundering Attempts: 1? It really increased!

As expected of the Child of Destiny. Just when I was sleepy, it sent me a pillow.

As for why it only increased by one?

It seems the Child of Destiny Word Trait is still too low-level. Once Word Plundering attempts are no longer so scarce, I can find an opportunity to upgrade it.

Although it had only increased by one, Su Han's eyes were still filled with delight.

When I see Nai Qi tomorrow, which of the two aptitude-enhancing Word Traits should I plunder first: Heavenly Prodigy (Gold) or Innate Dao Bone (Gold)?

Su Han stroked his chin, seemingly rather conflicted.

Forget it.

Heavenly Prodigy (Gold) it is. It's more comprehensive, after all. I still need to cultivate Great Brahma Prajna at night.

At the Little Sparring Tournament three months from now, I should be able to enter the Yuqing Realm with the Heavenly Prodigy (Gold) Word Trait...

Then, with the powerful effects of the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart Word Trait, I will have almost no chance of losing against Lu Xueqi!

For a moment, Su Han nodded in satisfaction.

"Su Han, how did cultivation feel?"

"Did you feel any discomfort anywhere in your body?"

Just as Su Han was thinking, Shui Yue took the initiative to ask him.

Hearing Shui Yue's question, Su Han hurriedly rose to his feet and replied, "Master, cultivation felt wonderfully mysterious."

"This disciple seemed to enter an entirely new world. I could sense the flow of spiritual energy around me, and drawing it into my body went quite smoothly. I did not feel any physical discomfort."

Shui Yue nodded slightly. "That is good."

After saying that.

Seemingly still worried, Shui Yue cautioned, "Su Han, I am quite surprised that you were able to draw spiritual energy into your body so quickly."

"But you must remember not to become arrogant or complacent. Drawing spiritual energy into your body is merely the beginning."

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous. You must maintain a humble heart at all times."

Su Han nodded solemnly. "This disciple understands. I will certainly heed Master's teachings."

Hearing Su Han's answer, Shui Yue nodded in satisfaction.

"It is already late today, so you may leave."

"Tomorrow at dawn, your Eldest Senior Sister Wen Min will take you to the Back Mountain to train your physical strength. Remember not to be late."

"Yes, Master."

Su Han cupped his hands slightly toward Shui Yue.

But when Su Han raised his head to look at Shui Yue, he was startled to discover that a flash of red light seemed to flicker through her eyes before vanishing.

Sensing that familiar red glint, Su Han instinctively looked toward the Blood Devouring Pearl.

Master has been affected by the Blood Devouring Pearl?

But Su Han quickly shook his head. Impossible.

No matter what, Shui Yue is one of the Qingyun Sect's Peak Masters. How could she be so easily affected by the Blood Devouring Pearl?

Most likely, when she guided my cultivation just now, a wisp of Demonic Energy entered her body. As long as she meditates and cultivates for a while, that wisp of Demonic Energy should naturally be cleared away.

Su Han did not mention it and simply turned to leave.

As he walked back to his room, he thought, Tomorrow, I'll follow Senior Sister Wen Min to the Back Mountain to train my physical strength?

The way Little Bamboo Peak trains physical strength can't be the same as Great Bamboo Peak's, can it? Chopping bamboo?

It's possible.

I just wonder whether Nai Qi will be there then?

For a time, Su Han was filled with anticipation.

Before long, Su Han returned to his residence. "Amitabha."

Su Han thought briefly of compassionate matters, and under the influence of the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart Word Trait, his Buddha Nature surged.

Let me see just how outrageous the cultivation speed of Great Brahma Prajna will be with the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart empowering it!
