Cultivation is much faster inside the Dao Comprehension Thatched Cottage.
As she circulated the Undying Heavenly Scripture, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth enveloped Su Xiuyi's entire body.
With the Greater Celestial Circuit Acupoints opened, Su Xiuyi looked extremely terrifying.
After a period of cultivation, Su Xiuyi slowly opened her eyes.
The current Su Xiuyi is no longer as cautious as before; the next moment, her body disappears from the Myriad Text Academy.
At the Southern Heaven Academy, Su Xiuyi changed her appearance and headed towards the library.
These days, when Su Xiuyi is bored, she goes to the library of the Southern Heaven Academy to read some books.
This form is usually the manifestation of one of Su Xiuyi's Spirit Character.
The figure formed from this Spirit Character entered the Southern Heaven Academy for cultivation, which was done by Su Xiuyi to facilitate her actions within the academy.
The library was not a major location within the Southern Heaven Academy, but it contained many ancient books and recorded numerous strange and interesting stories.
Su Xiuyi entered the library and chose a well-lit spot to sit down.
I started reading a book of strange and interesting stories.
Not long after Su Xiuyi sat down, a chubby little boy came over.
He chuckled at Su Xiuyi.
He sat down next to Su Xiuyi.
"Brother Su, you're here too!"
The fat man looked at Su Xiuyi with immense excitement.
The fat man's name was Qian Dafu. His talent was exceptionally poor. The reason he was able to enter the Southern Heaven Academy for cultivation was because his family donated a large amount of money to the academy. To put it bluntly, he got in through connections.
He was often looked down upon in the academy, but fortunately, Qian Dafu was extremely thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
However, this guy also has a hard time integrating into other circles.
Su Xiuyi was very familiar with Qian Dafu.
Because Su Xiuyi's talent wasn't that great either.
This was intentional; Su Xiuyi had only come here to relax.
The best outcome is when no one notices.
However, in Qian Dafu's eyes, Su Xiuyi was a fellow traveler.
"Um!"
Su Xiuyi nodded to Qian Dafu and continued reading.
Qian Dafu didn't care at all that Su Xiuyi ignored him, because he was already used to it.
Soon, Qian Dafu's page boy came in carrying a box, opened it, and took out the finest wine and dishes.
Qian Dafu stood up and poured a glass of wine for his confidante Su Xiuyi.
"Come, come, Brother Su!"
"Reading is such a tedious thing. For people like us, life is only a hundred years long, so enjoying life while we can is the right way."
It must be said that Qian Dafu is indeed someone who knows how to enjoy life. Even though he lacks talent, he still studies hard at the academy, but Qian Dafu never gives up enjoying life for a moment.
A professional chef was by his side.
The wine is a fine, century-old vintage.
Su Xiuyi, smelling the enticing aroma of the wine, couldn't help but twitch her nose.
Qian Dafu, being a shrewd fellow, saw that Su Xiuyi was interested and quickly picked up his glass, "Brother Su, let's have a drink! Today marks the thirty-seventh day since we met, a cause for celebration!"
It was very easy to resolve Su Xiuyi's embarrassment, and Su Xiuyi did feel comfortable being with Qian Dafu.
After finishing a glass of fine wine, Qian Dafu subtly refilled Su Xiuyi.
"Brother Su, I have some earth-shattering news for you. Didn't the Palace Master of the Nine Netherworlds Hall in the Ten Thousand Sects Territory appear a long time ago?"
"He's practically my idol! He suppressed an ancient ferocious beast with the flick of his wrist!"
"That was really exciting! That was Kui Ox!"
"There is a limit to what heaven and earth can tolerate."
"Of course, that news is outdated. What I want to tell you is that my Myriad Treasures Pavilion has received reliable information that the Nine Netherworlds Hall has very likely mastered a powerful ancient cultivation technique, the Demon-Suppressing Art. It is rumored that the Demon-Suppressing Art can weaken the strength of the Demon Race!"
Speaking of the Demon-Suppressing Art, Qian Dafu took a deep breath.
The pageboy beside them hurriedly poured wine for the two of them.
" The Demon-Suppressing Art?"
Su Xiuyi, who had been listless, couldn't help but look at Qian Dafu. Qian Dafu knew about the Demon-Suppressing Art, which surprised Su Xiuyi greatly.
Seeing that Su Xiuyi had shown interest, Qian Dafu immediately became interested as well.
"Brother Su, I'm not bragging, but the information about this Demon-Suppressing Art is exclusively possessed by my Qian Clan. No one outside the core of the Qian Clan could possibly know about it. My knowing about it is just a coincidence."
"Rumor has it that the Demon-Suppressing Art was developed by a supreme being of the Human Race. In ancient times, there was a power called the Kunlun Sect, Demon-Suppressing Art was the core technique of the Kunlun Sect. Unfortunately, the Demon-Suppressing Art has been lost. Even if the Nine Netherworlds Hall truly possessed such a technique, he would not reveal it publicly. Otherwise, the Demon Race would not dare to be so arrogant now!"
Qian Dafu was furious when the Demon Race was suddenly mentioned.
"Oh, the border between humans and demons? What happened? Didn't the royal family's expert intimidate the Demon Race before?" Su Xiuyi couldn't help but ask.
Su Xiuyi felt that the Demon Race should be quiet now, given that she had intimidated them that time, since not much time had passed.
"Brother Su, it seems your information is truly outdated."
"Which senior made a move? It certainly intimidated the Blood Demon Clan."
"But after the world was restored, a terrifying great demon awakened within the Blood Demon lineage, called the Fallen Fire Phoenix."
"After obtaining a drop of the Divine Phoenix Race's essence blood, it is rumored that he awakened the Divine Phoenix talent, possessing terrifying strength. In recent days, it is said that his cultivation has been approaching the peak of the Myriad Dharmas Return to One."
"This is the limit of strength that the world can tolerate right now, so naturally the Blood Demon Clan has become arrogant again."
"Moreover, according to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the royal family is currently not stable internally!"
"When Human Emperor Su Yun first took control of the dynasty, things were going well. However, as the world began to recover and some powerful members of the royal family awakened, the Human Emperor's position became precarious. Fortunately, Human Emperor had a powerful figure supporting him; otherwise, he would have lost his Human Emperor long ago."
"However, within the royal family, there is constant infighting and probing. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Sects Territory is now showing signs of independence, making the borders even more dangerous."
"The Human Race is truly beset by internal and external troubles!"
Qian Dafu sighed.
Su Xiuyi was quite surprised. This guy was a good-for-nothing, but his information network was surprisingly good.
What surprised Su Xiuyi even more was that Qian Dafu was actually a descendant of the Qian Clan, who controlled Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Myriad Treasures Pavilion is a powerful force in the Human Realm. Almost all of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's offspring are geniuses. The appearance of a good-for-nothing in Duobao Pavilion was truly unexpected for Su Xiuyi.
"Our Human Race has countless powerful warriors, why should we worry? Come, let's fight!"
Su Xiuyi picked up her wine glass and clinked it together with Qian Dafu.
"Too!"
"We useless people can only worry in our hearts; we can't solve any practical problems."
After he finished speaking, Qian Dafu's small eyes became restless.
He stared intently at a beautiful woman, but she glared at him, startling him so much that he quickly looked away.
In the imperial capital, deep within the palace.
Su Yun's expression was very unpleasant.
The wine glass in Su Yun's hand was deformed from being squeezed.
Damn it.
"Besides fighting for power and profit, what else can they do? They haven't even faced external threats, yet they're already in internal strife!" Su Yun was furious.
