Chapter 154: This Sudden Wealth Didn't Last Long Enough

Therefore, Su Ji'an still intended to unlock only a portion of it this time.

It would not be too late to fully unlock it later when his spiritual power value became abundant.

Su Ji'an pondered for a moment and, much like the previous unlocking of the Emergence Immortal Scripture, unlocked sixty percent of its progress.

Without the Emergence Immortal Scripture, even with the sharing of Shen Qingyan's cultivation realm, he feared his progress would not have been so immense.

With nothing better to do, he would occasionally pop a few medicinal pills.

The advancement in his cultivation realm was still quite noticeable and tangible.

[Current remaining spiritual power value: 287,855.]

Su Ji'an couldn't help but mutter gloomily, "This feeling of sudden wealth is a bit too short-lived."

He would need to be more frugal in the future...

However, at the very least, regarding divine powers and techniques, he temporarily had no need to invest any more.

As the progress unlocked, countless exquisite insights began to emerge in Su Ji'an's mind.

Soon, he became completely immersed in them, unable to extricate himself.

The Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique was truly a supreme marvelous method.

Su Ji'an continuously rehearsed and deduced the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique in his mind.

This method could harmoniously integrate multiple divine powers, elevating their might once again based on their original foundations.

At this moment, the speed of refining spiritual power had already become secondary.

That was merely the most basic technique of the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique.

The most intuitive change was the transformation of his primordial spirit.

His divine soul began to gradually condense, and even gave birth to a trace of divine sense... Everything within a radius of a few steps became thoroughly clear in his mind's eye.

This... Is this a primordial spirit?

Su Ji'an couldn't help but be stunned, finding it somewhat difficult to comprehend for a moment.

Was he currently at the Spirit Severing Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage...

How was he supposed to cultivate immortality from this point onward?

Normally, the Nascent Soul and the divine soul should merge to form a primordial spirit, but now he had completely bypassed that process.

Su Ji'an couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that when the Nascent Soul reaches completion later, it will directly merge with my current primordial spirit? Or is it that my Nascent Soul is crippled?"

The path he was taking now seemed to have gone astray.

However, upon closer reflection, it wasn't actually all that bad.

At the very least, the fact that his primordial spirit had formed was an indisputable reality.

However, his primordial spirit lacked the fusion of the Nascent Soul's power, missing a portion of its own origin.

In actual combat, it was certainly lacking a little something.

Gradually, Su Ji'an began to enjoy the process.

It wasn't until sunset that he finally gained a general comprehension of the insights regarding the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique.

However, because only sixty percent of the progress had been unlocked, there were still many parts he didn't quite understand.

The Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique was truly abstruse and difficult to comprehend.

With his current cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for him to make any further progress in the parts he had not yet grasped.

Immediately afterward.

Su Ji'an sought out He Hansu, figuring that this blockhead was knowledgeable and might have some solution.

After listening to Su Ji'an's strange encounter, He Hansu said thoughtfully, "According to conventional logic, this kind of encounter of yours is absolutely impossible to happen."

This defied the normal principles of cultivation; how could anyone achieve a primordial spirit directly from their divine soul without cultivating a Nascent Soul first?

Could it be that his opponent's divine soul was different from everyone else's, harboring its own independent thoughts?

Su Ji'an said helplessly, "But it has already happened. Hurry up and tell me how to resolve it."

He Hansu suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you tell me the cultivation method you practiced? Perhaps you strayed from the path and comprehended an entirely new technique."

"Have you ever heard of the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique? What if it was an instant epiphanic breakthrough, reaching a height that ordinary people find difficult to attain in a lifetime?" Su Ji'an shook his head and revealed just a tiny bit more information.

This was just like seeing a doctor; one must not conceal symptoms from the physician, otherwise, the one who suffers in the end is oneself.

He Hansu was startled for a moment, then suddenly said eagerly, "Pass it to me so I can take a look."

[Your Dao companion He Hansu is exchanging abilities with you using the Cloud-Treading Rainbow-Transforming Technique. Please edit the ability you wish to trade out as soon as possible.]

Su Ji'an was taken aback for a moment. To refuse such a wonderful stroke of good fortune would simply defy the laws of heaven.

He immediately began to edit.

[Elementary school arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.]

He truly had not expected such an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Before he could even warm up to it... and here he was thinking of trading a bird gun for a cannon—what wishful thinking was she having?

He Hansu was completely dumbfounded.

"You, you, you!"

She instantly widened her eyes, pointing at Su Ji'an with a face full of disbelief.

Su Ji'an chuckled and said, "Consider this a lesson learned, to let you know the sinister nature of human hearts, so you can take it as a warning for the future. You've made a huge profit, come on, give your husband a smile."

He Hansu wore a look of aggrieved resentment, but she couldn't beat him in a fight, and throwing a tantrum didn't befit her status.

Sob, sob, sob, sob...

He Hansu glared angrily and said, "I'm not trading anymore! Hurry up and take back this elementary school arithmetic, or else I... I won't let you off the hook!"

For a moment, she couldn't even think of any threat to hold over him.

Su Ji'an burst out laughing: "How won't you let me off the hook? I'd actually love to see it. Show me a performance."

He Hansu: "......"

Su Ji'an instinctively wanted to reach out and give her head a comforting pat, but He Hansu dodged it in time.

However, Su Ji'an didn't feel awkward at all. Acting as if nothing had happened, he said, "Alright, little blockhead, stop feeling wronged. Who tells me to be such a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see others wronged?"

He still needed a favor from her, so he couldn't push things to a complete deadlock.

He decided to give her just a tiny bit of sweetness.

"You're the blockhead! Your whole family is full of blockheads!" He Hansu said with extreme dissatisfaction.

Then she cast a suspicious look at him: "Spit it out, what are you plotting this time? Since when do you have any kindness in your heart?"

Hearing this, Su Ji'an immediately waved his hand and said, "A dog's mouth spits no ivory; you don't recognize a good heart. Since you don't believe me, then step back."

He Hansu tilted her head: "Who is Lu Dongbin?"

Su Ji'an said, "Who he is doesn't matter. Just tell me whether you want to listen or not."

He Hansu gave a light snort and said, "I'll listen. Let's hear what you have to say."

No matter what, she would listen first before deciding.

Su Ji'an said solemnly, "Lend me your cloud-treading technique first. Once I acquire a new one, I'll return it to you. The Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique can also be passed on to you, but your current mindset is undesirable. You shouldn't be thinking about swapping abilities like this; instead, you should steadily cultivate step by step."

Her cultivating a bit faster would do him no harm.

Besides, he was merely borrowing flowers to present to Buddha, suffering no actual loss whatsoever.

Hearing this, He Hansu's mood improved slightly.

Having something was better than having nothing at all.

Su Ji'an asked seriously, "Alright, now you can share your insights. How should this kind of situation be resolved?"

"I haven't practiced the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique yet. Allow me to cultivate it for a bit first," He Hansu said with a straight face.

Su Ji'an: "......"

Suddenly, he didn't feel like passing on the Primordial Celestial Dipper Technique anymore.

Yet, in the end, Su Ji'an still passed it on to her.

......

Su Ji'an calculated the time. At this moment, the three players digging holes outside the city should be almost finished.

It was about time for him to go over and take a look.

Just at that moment, a message was transmitted over.

[Upon investigation, the Holy Master discovered that Xiwang was not in his official residence. For a moment, he was at his wit's end, not knowing where to begin his pursuit. He abducted a yamen runner, and after some questioning, learned that Xiwang had not shown his face for several days.]
