Little Bamboo Peak, Shui Yue's room.
Shui Yue looked at Su Han, her calm expression carrying a trace of anticipation.
"Begin cultivating."
Su Han nodded and immediately sat cross-legged, adjusting his breathing. Guided by Shui Yue's spiritual energy, the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao began to circulate.
Almost instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to answer a summons. It swirled around Su Han's body like lively ribbons before slowly being drawn into him.
In only a short while, Su Han felt that he had crossed a threshold that would previously have taken days, perhaps even weeks, to reach.
"What is this?"
At the side, Shui Yue stared at Su Han in shock, her face full of disbelief.
"His cultivation speed had clearly still been slow during the day. By my estimate, it should have taken at least a year for Su Han to enter the first layer of the Yuqing Realm."
"But how had his cultivation progress suddenly become so astonishing after merely a few hours, by the time night arrived?"
"This is simply... unbelievable!"
"Even Xueqi's cultivation speed back then seemed a little slower than Su Han's current speed, didn't it?!"
Shui Yue tried her best to calm the turmoil in her heart and began considering the reason behind it.
"Was it because of some special opportunity?"
"Or had his own potential suddenly erupted?"
"Or was it because of that special physique of his, whose name I don't even know?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Shui Yue's mind, yet she could not determine the true reason.
Meanwhile, Su Han remained immersed in cultivation.
With the talent bonuses of the Innate Dao Bone (Gold) and Heavenly Prodigy (Gold), Su Han's current cultivation speed was simply beyond imagination.
Although it still could not compare to the cultivation speed of the Great Brahma Prajna—after all, a Gold Word Trait was still only a Gold Word Trait.
Even stacking two of them, or perhaps even four, might not compare to the effect of a single Black Word Trait.
But if Su Han's original speed when directly cultivating the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao had been 1, and his speed after cultivating the Great Brahma Prajna before cultivating the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao had been 0.1—
Then his current cultivation speed was at least dozens of times greater, perhaps even a hundred times greater.
This filled Su Han with excitement, and he guided the spiritual energy with even greater effort.
At this rate, I'll definitely enter the Yuqing Realm in less than a month.
Su Han secretly rejoiced.
Although the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and the Great Brahma Prajna no longer conflicted with each other, they still had no connection whatsoever.
Only after he officially broke through to the Yuqing Realm would the two complement one another.
At my current cultivation speed, I'll definitely make a name for myself at Little Bamboo Peak's minor competition three months from now!
By then, I should be able to receive more cultivation resources—spiritual pills, divine weapons, techniques, and so on.
For a moment, Su Han's heart was filled with anticipation.
As time slowly passed, the spiritual energy around Su Han grew denser and denser, turning into a seemingly tangible spiritual mist that enveloped him.
Shui Yue watched quietly from the side, and the shock in her eyes gradually gave way to a trace of gratification.
"Although I don't know why Su Han's cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds, this is undoubtedly a good thing."
"Even, if Su Han can maintain this cultivation speed..."
"Wouldn't our Little Bamboo Peak produce another peerless genius like Xueqi?!"
At the thought of this, Shui Yue's eyes brimmed with delight.
After all, strengthening Little Bamboo Peak had always been her wish—or rather, the wish of every Peak Master in the Qingyun Sect.
Otherwise, why would all the Peak Masters have shamelessly fought over Lin Jingyu because of his Heavenly Talent?
After an unknown amount of time, Su Han slowly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed through them.
He rose to his feet and lightly clenched his fist, feeling the surging Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao spiritual energy within him. His heart was filled with joy.
"Master, I feel that I've taken a huge step closer to the Yuqing Realm."
Su Han spoke respectfully to Shui Yue.
Shui Yue nodded slightly, her eyes full of praise. "Su Han, your cultivation speed this time truly is astonishing."
"But you must not become arrogant or complacent."
"The path of cultivation is endless. You must remain vigilant at all times."
Su Han nodded solemnly. "This disciple understands."
Shui Yue looked at the composed Su Han and nodded in satisfaction.
"Su Han, let today's cultivation end here."
"Go back and reflect on it properly. Come again tomorrow."
Su Han bowed. "Yes, Master. This disciple will take his leave."
With that, Su Han turned and slowly departed.
Shui Yue watched his receding figure, her mind filled with thoughts.
She could not help recalling the Lu Xueqi of old, who had also possessed extraordinary talent. Su Han's current performance was even more surprising.
By then, Su Han had already returned to his residence.
After washing up, he lay on his bed and carefully sensed whether anyone was still monitoring him today.
Only after the Child of Destiny and Form of No Sentient Beings traits showed no abnormal reactions did Su Han nod in slight satisfaction.
Sure enough, revealing my uniqueness wasn't for nothing.
By now, Shui Yue should completely believe that I simply possess exceptional talent—similar to Lin Jingyu's, yet different...
His talent is obvious at a glance, while mine is hidden.
Since no one was watching him anymore, Su Han had no need to keep pretending. He sat cross-legged, faint golden flames rising around him as the Great Brahma Prajna began to circulate.
Soon, Su Han nodded slightly, his eyes full of delight.
As expected.
After gaining that Dao trait, even though the Great Brahma Prajna and Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao still conflict somewhat, they no longer affect each other's cultivation speed at all!
During cultivation, time seemed to lose all meaning.
When Su Han awoke again, daylight had already flooded the sky. He returned to Shui Yue's room to cultivate the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao once more.
The following days continued in the same way.
During the day, he went to Shui Yue's room to cultivate the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, then followed Shui Yue to the dining hall for meals. At night, he returned to his own room to cultivate the Great Brahma Prajna.
Everything was orderly, repeating day after day.
The only difference was that Su Han had become thoroughly familiar with his many senior sisters, especially Wen Min.
For some reason, perhaps because her maternal instincts had overflowed, Wen Min was especially doting toward Su Han.
As for Lu Xueqi?
Su Han was busy cultivating and had little time each day. Lu Xueqi was the same, and with her cold nature, the two had barely exchanged a few words.
Still, they were at least no longer as unfamiliar with each other as they had been at the beginning.
Until half a month later.
In Shui Yue's room, Su Han sat atop a meditation cushion. Countless streams of pale blue spiritual energy surged around him like a vortex, rushing madly into his body.
Su Han's expression was grave as he focused fully on guiding the spiritual energy through his meridians in circulation.
As time passed, Su Han's aura grew increasingly powerful, and an invisible pressure spread outward.
Shui Yue watched quietly from the side, her eyes full of expectation.
Suddenly, Su Han's body trembled, and a dazzling blue radiance burst forth from within him.
The surrounding spiritual energy instantly turned violent, like roaring waves, sending faint ripples through the air.
Su Han's tightly shut eyes opened at that moment, filled with joy.
