Wen Min Was Overwhelmed, Heading to Dragon Head Peak

Su Han sat in his chair, stroking his chin.

He wondered whose traits he should copy next.

First, Su Han immediately ruled out Spirit Lord Water Qilin and Qingyun Sect Leader Daoxuan.

It was extremely difficult for Su Han to meet the Water Qilin now.

After all, he could not yet fly on a magical artifact and could only have someone take him to Rainbow Bridge.

But the Water Qilin usually stayed beneath Rainbow Bridge and would not appear. It could even casually fall asleep for one or two years—or several years—which was perfectly normal.

Su Han could not wait that long.

After all, he could not stop cultivating every day just to wait at Rainbow Bridge for the Water Qilin.

Therefore, Su Han felt that if he wanted to copy the Water Qilin's traits, he would have to wait until he reached the fourth level of the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and could fly on a magical artifact.

At that point, if no one else was around, he could use the Bloodthirsty Orb to lure the Water Qilin out.

As for Daoxuan, there was even less to say.

With Su Han's current status, asking to meet Daoxuan was nothing but a fool's dream.

Thus, the two best choices before Su Han were Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.

Zhang Xiaofan still had two Gold Word Traits that could be seized: Late Bloomer (Gold) and Exceptional Comprehension (Gold).

Lin Jingyu, meanwhile, had traits such as Heavenly Talent (Red), Unrivaled Sword Dao (Gold), Insight into Weaknesses (Red), and Fated Supporting Character (Orange) that could be seized.

"Who should I choose?"

After agonizing over it for quite some time, Su Han ultimately decided to visit Lin Jingyu.

Zhang Xiaofan's "Exceptional Comprehension" and "Late Bloomer" could be copied later.

After all, Exceptional Comprehension would merely make it easier for him to cultivate Dao arts. But Su Han already possessed the Innate Dao Bone trait, so cultivating Dao arts was not difficult for him to begin with.

As for using comprehension to optimize spells and cultivation methods?

Su Han felt that Exceptional Comprehension, a mere Gold Word Trait, probably could not accomplish that.

At the very least, it would need to advance into the Black Word Trait, Heaven-Defying Comprehension, before that became possible.

And Late Bloomer was even more useless to Su Han right now.

He had not even accumulated anything yet. What was there to burst forth from?

However, Lin Jingyu's Fated Supporting Character and Unrivaled Sword Dao talents were extremely useful to Su Han at present.

The former could raise the level of his Child of Destiny trait, while the latter could be used immediately.

After all, although Su Han did not know what Dao arts Shui Yue would prepare for him, there would surely be sword techniques related to swords among them.

With that in mind—

Su Han stood, pushed open his door, and headed down the mountain.

Before long, he arrived outside the room of Little Bamboo Peak's senior disciple, Wen Min.

Knock, knock, knock~

As Su Han lightly knocked on the door, unhurried footsteps soon sounded from within, accompanied by a question.

"Who is it?"

"Senior Sister Wen Min, it's me, Su Han."

Upon hearing that it was Su Han outside, the leisurely footsteps inside instantly turned into a frantic sprint.

Soon, the door opened.

"Junior Brother Su Han, why have you come to see Senior Sister?"

Wen Min sounded pleasantly surprised.

Recently, Su Han had been cultivating diligently, so Shui Yue had brought his dinner back every evening.

Wen Min had not seen her junior brother for several days.

But before Su Han could answer, Wen Min suddenly cried out.

"Junior Brother, it's only been a few days. How did you suddenly grow so much taller?"

Wen Min stared in astonishment at Su Han, who was no longer shorter than her.

When he had first come up the mountain, Su Han had still looked like a child and had only reached her chest. Now, he looked like a youth.

How could he have changed so much in barely over ten days?

Su Han smiled. "Perhaps I was malnourished before. Now that I've made some progress in cultivating the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and have enough nourishment, I've grown quickly."

Of course, the truth was that Great Brahma Prajna had strengthened his body far beyond what the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao could do, causing his bones to develop rapidly.

But Su Han could not tell Wen Min this, so he made up an excuse.

It was simply something Su Han could not tell Wen Min, so he casually came up with an excuse.

But upon hearing this, Wen Min's attention instantly shifted. She stared at Su Han with shock in her eyes. "Huh?"

"Junior Brother, did you just say... you made a breakthrough?"

"Have you already broken through to the Yuqing Realm?"

Su Han nodded with a smile. "Yes."

Wen Min's little mouth fell open as she hurried forward several steps.

She examined Su Han carefully from top to bottom, occasionally reaching out to pinch him here and there.

"Oh my heavens!"

"If Senior Sister remembers correctly, Junior Brother, you've only been on the mountain for seventeen days, right?"

"In just seventeen days... you've actually cultivated to the Yuqing Realm!"

"Back then, it took Senior Sister several months to reach the Yuqing Realm!"

For a moment, Wen Min could not help recalling how difficult it had been for her to break through to the Yuqing Realm.

Not only had she needed to chop bamboo every day until she was exhausted to temper her body, she had also needed to accumulate spiritual energy bit by bit before slowly breaking through.

Then she compared herself to Su Han.

Not only was his physical talent extraordinary, sparing him from having to chop bamboo until he dropped, but his cultivation talent was even more terrifying.

In a mere seventeen days, he had broken through from nothing to the Yuqing Realm.

At that moment, Wen Min's eyes were filled with envy and admiration.

But there was even more bitterness, bitterness over what she herself had endured back then.

"Wuwuwu~"

"Junior Brother, comparing people really makes one want to die, and comparing goods makes one want to throw them away!"

"Your cultivation speed is truly monstrous!"

Su Han merely smiled at Wen Min's astonishment and said nothing.

Only after quite a while did Wen Min finally come back to her senses.

At the same time, she realized that her junior brother had come to find her immediately after making a breakthrough. He probably had not come merely to tell her the news.

Most likely, he needed something from her.

With that thought, Wen Min asked curiously, "Junior Brother, did you come to see Senior Sister because you need something?"

Hearing Wen Min's words, Su Han hurriedly nodded, his expression serious. "I hope Senior Sister can take me to Dragon Head Peak."

"Dragon Head Peak?"

"Yes. I still cannot fly on a magical artifact, but I want to visit Dragon Head Peak to see Lin Jingyu and ask whether he has received any news regarding what happened after Caomiao Village."

"After all, when the entire village of Caomiao Village was massacred, I was there as well. I also desperately want to know who the murderer was!"

"So that in the future, I can avenge the innocent villagers of Caomiao Village."

Wen Min nodded slightly. "All right. Since Junior Brother has such intentions, Senior Sister will take you to Dragon Head Peak."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

"It's only a small matter. There's no need for Junior Brother to be so polite with Senior Sister."

As she spoke, Wen Min lightly formed a hand seal, and a flying sword instantly appeared at her side.

"Junior Brother, hold on tight to Senior Sister."

Su Han grasped Wen Min's arm.

The two leaped onto the flying sword. With the fierce wind howling around them, they sped all the way toward Dragon Head Peak.

After all, as fellow branches of the Qingyun Sect, the seven peaks were not very far apart.

Thus, Su Han soon saw a towering, perilous mountain range rising majestically in the distant sky.

"Senior Sister, that's Dragon Head Peak, right?"

Su Han asked Wen Min curiously.

"Yes. Very soon, Junior Brother, you'll get to see Lin Jingyu."
