Almost the instant the Innate Xirang entered his body, Lin Yu felt a gentle, substantial sensation coming from his spleen and internal organs.
Contrary to expectations, the wisps of innate earth energy emanating from the Xirang flowed through his spleen's digestive power, making his spiritual Spiritual Power more stable.
"Alright." The light from the True Lord's Faxiang gradually faded, and his voice became more distant. "The Xirang has been properly incorporated. You need to cultivate diligently in the future, nourishing your spleen and internal organs with your own Spiritual Power, which will also help the Innate Xirang become more compatible with you. My Faxiang cannot remain here for long."
Before he finished speaking, the True Lord's figure transformed into specks of golden light, merging into the Heavenly Eye of the clay statue, and the trembling of the clay statue ceased.
After the master and disciple respectfully saw the True Lord off, Uncle Nine patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.
"Your master has never seen any geniuses in his life. Before you, the geniuses in his master's eyes were still those who were honed according to the rules. Even if they were exceptionally talented, they were always within the framework of 'being able to be taught and brought out.'"
"But after meeting you, I realized that some talents are even envied by the heavens. I taught you to draw talismans according to the rules, but you were able to innovate and draw some talismans that even your master had not thought of."
"I asked you to memorize a text, and you were able to correct the errors in the book. Sometimes, you'd look at me with bright eyes and say, 'Master, is this okay?'"
"I suddenly realized that true geniuses don't follow the established path, but forge their own."
Uncle Nine looked deeply saddened; today's blow had indeed been quite significant for him.
While he was still happy about his daily progress, his own apprentice was researching how to break through his own limits, constantly struggling with the old methods.
Even with the abridged version of "Maoshan Qi Refining Technique," it still took him a month to get the basics down, while his own disciples had already mastered the original version.
The talisman drawn by the apprentice had a more agile brushstroke in the cinnabar ink than his own, and it was also faintly wrapped with a clear and spiritual energy that he had never seen before.
Uncle Nine suddenly recalled that when he was young, he always felt that it would be good enough to learn all of his master's skills. But in the eyes of his apprentice, the world was never about "learning everything," but about "learning thoroughly before forging a new path."
Uncle Nine sighed softly, not out of worry, but because he suddenly felt that this kid was going to live out his entire life in a whole new way.
"Ahem... Master, aren't you curious where I got this treasure?"
Seeing his master sighing and lamenting, Lin Yu was afraid of upsetting him too much.
"You don't need to tell me about your destiny. As long as I can protect you in this lifetime, it's all worth it!"
Uncle Nine stopped Lin Yu, saying that the more he said, the greater the danger. There were many capable people in this world, and it was best to keep his secrets to himself.
"You should focus on strengthening yourself first; your master won't bother you any longer."
Uncle Nine waved goodbye. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving without taking a single cloud with him.
After seeing Uncle Nine off, Lin Yu excitedly sat down cross-legged and examined his body internally, curious about the effects of this Innate Xirang.
His internal organs were radiating a five-colored halo.
The yellow halo around the spleen is the most pronounced.
As the spleen functions, tiny specks are carried out and seep into the limbs and bones along the meridians.
Wherever it passed, it made one feel relaxed and refreshed, as if being soaked in warm water, and the feeling of stagnation quietly dissipated.
Even more remarkably, the spiritual energy within his body slowly grew along the trajectory of the Innate Xirang, not with a sudden surge, but with a gentle, continuous flow, each strand becoming more condensed than before.
The Five Elements Immortal Bamboo on the Spirit Platform seemed to be attracted as well, occasionally running towards the spleen, but it could never get in. It could only gather a few scattered star-like points before running back to the Spirit Platform.
He really resembled an old man rejected by his wife.
"Take off---!"
Lin Yu opened his eyes and clenched his fists. He felt that his spiritual energy was now abundant. Before, he was like a water cup in the desert, which would diminish with each use and could not be replenished.
It's like falling into the ocean now, an inexhaustible source of resources.
His gaze fell on the Five Elements Five Elements Immortal Bamboo on his spiritual platform, and seeing it still tentatively reaching towards his spleen, Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "What's the rush? Once my cultivation is higher and the seal is broken, I'll make sure you can absorb as much as you want."
Ever since he absorbed the Innate Xirang into his body, this immortal bamboo seemed to have gained intelligence after absorbing a bit of starlight.
The once bare bamboo stalks now seemed to have sprouted several branches, and a new leaf could be seen on each branch.
The leaves swayed gently, as if in response.
"The more I look at this method, the more it seems like it's nurturing a treasure. Are you helping me, or am I helping you?"
Lin Yu increasingly felt that his sudden idea was somewhat heaven-defying, using the five elements attributes within the treasure to nourish himself.
As time went by, the treasure became increasingly intimately connected to him.
As you grow stronger, the treasures within you will also be enhanced in return.
"Now that I possess the Innate Xirang, if I collect the remaining four elemental treasures and place them in the other four organs, wouldn't I become even stronger?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but have a sudden, whimsical idea.
"No, no! Putting aside the issue of mutual repulsion between treasures, this time it's only because the Xirang naturally attracts the Immortal Bamboo that it doesn't repel it. If it encountered something that repels it, it would definitely be burst open. I'll wait until my cultivation is stronger before worrying about that."
Lin Yu stopped this dangerous idea.
"I have enough spiritual energy now, I can try out my new ideas, hehehehehehe~"
With abundant spiritual energy, Lin Yu was finally able to realize many of his new ideas.
Wen Cai Qiu Sheng's side.
They were currently being watched by Uncle Nine and were forced to practice their boxing with great reluctance.
"Ha~ Master, it's so late, you should go to sleep. Staying up late is bad for your health."
Wen Cai grew increasingly sleepy as the fight went on, and weakly begged his master for help.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep! I'm telling you to sleep!"
Compared to Lin Yu, and then looking at Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, Uncle Nine really found fault with everything about them. Uncle Nine wielded the thick wooden stick with such force that it left afterimages.
Qiu Sheng, with his keen eye, noticed something amiss in his master's expression, so he practiced diligently tonight without slacking off. However, he had a terrible teammate who insisted on detonating this powder keg.
Uncle Nine, while hitting Wen Cai, glanced at him and said, "I've never seen you practice so diligently before. You deserve a beating!"
"Bang bang bang--!"
Just then, a rapid knocking sound reached the ears of the three of them.
"Master, someone is knocking on the door."
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who were being beaten and jumping around, seemed to have seen a savior.
"Then why aren't you opening the door!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Cai Qiu Sheng immediately ran to open the door.
The two of them stared wide-eyed the moment they opened the door.
A beautiful woman dressed in red stood outside the door.
The woman was dressed lightly, with a red veil covering only most of her body. Her exposed skin shimmered with a lustrous glow in the sunlight, like warm jade bathed in moonlight.
Her brows and eyes held a touch of nonchalant charm, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and when she looked at people, it seemed as if tiny flames danced in the depths of her eyes.
If Lin Yu's Chat Group members could see this, they would definitely exclaim, "Yan Lingji, what are you doing here with Lin Yu?"
However, those familiar with Yan Lingji could still see the difference: the woman's eyes lacked a certain liveliness, as if they were devoid of emotion.
The movements were also somewhat rigid and stiff.
But Wen Cai Qiu Sheng were already captivated by the woman's beauty, and seeing her hurried manner, they wished they could kneel down and fawn over her.
"Auntie... girl, what's wrong? Why are you so scared? Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Wen Cai had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Yes! Tell me what happened!"
Qiu Sheng shoved Wen Cai aside, flexing his muscles as he spoke.
