章節 14: Chapter 14: Selecting the Cultivation Technique
"By the way, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is an industry of the Su family," Su Zeduan mentioned casually. When speaking to intelligent individuals, there's no need to say too much. Some things become clear when only a part is spoken.
"Old man understands," Qianqiu Ancestor responded. Having lived for hundreds of years, he naturally understood the meaning behind Su Zeduan's words.
"Also, the Ancestor once said, the two of you can each choose a martial art or technique from the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion to take with you. We hope that Qianqiu Sect won't disappoint the Su family," Su Zeduan's tone turned stern as he spoke. With that said, he didn't wait for their response and simply left.
After Su Zeduan's departure, two house servants promptly approached and led the way, guiding them to the Scripture Pavilion.
"Elder, this is the patriarch's instruction." The house servants briefly explained the situation to Qianqiu Ancestor and Su Hongyi before leaving directly.
"Please follow me,"
Qianqiu Ancestor and Sect Master Qianqiu hurriedly followed. The scene was akin to stepping into a grand garden, where they marveled at this and then that, as if they had entered a magnificent palace.
Third floor.
Qianqiu Ancestor took a glance and saw rows of jade scrolls neatly arranged on the shelves. Looking up, he estimated roughly that there were no fewer than a thousand of them. These were not just any ordinary techniques and martial skills; they were all at the Earth Tier level.
Moreover, Qianqiu Ancestor noticed that the pavilion wasn't limited to just three floors. If the third floor contained Earth Tier techniques, did that mean the fourth floor held Heaven Tier techniques?
Could this be the foundation of the Su family?
In comparison, Qianqiu Sect paled in comparison. It was like comparing an insignificant sorcerer to a grand sorcerer. No, not even a sorcerer.
"Please make your selections. Once you've chosen, inform me," Su Hongyi said, then left the third floor and returned to the first floor.
As for theft? If they were capable, they could steal all they wanted.
The two of them wandered around.
"Nine-Leaf Sword Manual."
"Melancholic Soul Palm."
"Finger of Blossoming Flowers."
…
Each manual was like a head of cabbage.
In the end, Qianqiu Ancestor chose a high-grade Earth Tier technique. It was the Buddhist "Yijin Jing."
Sect Master Qianqiu selected a precious footwork technique, the high-grade Earth Tier "Wandering Dragon Steps."
After Su Hongyi imprinted copies for them, the two of them left the Su family and returned to their own sect.
On the way back, Sect Master Qianqiu complained. If he had known, he would have brought a few more people. He was no longer as unwilling as before.
Qianqiu Ancestor, on the other hand, remained calm, his expression unreadable. He didn't comment on Sect Master Qianqiu's words.
Su family's back mountain.
Su Xun received a notification from the system.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for subduing Qianqiu Sect, gaining 50,000 points of qi luck. Due to the Su family acquiring its first vassal force, the host is rewarded with a minor realm advancement and a family building—the Alchemy Pavilion.]
Su Xun's cultivation advanced to the mid-stage of the Profound Origin Realm.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the family's strength has improved. The North Dipper Array's spiritual strength has increased. Currently, individual strength is at the mid-stage of the Profound Origin Realm. When united, it can contend against the complete peak level, and when the Seven Stars unite, they can oppose a half-step Heavenly origin realm.]
Su Xun looked at the system's notifications and smiled. Then he checked the Alchemy Pavilion.
[Name: Alchemy Pavilion.
Rank: Unknown.
Introduction: The Alchemy Pavilion is a paradise for alchemists. Refining pills here increases the success rate and can even enable cross-tier pill refinement. Currently, there is a tier-leveling alchemy furnace in the pavilion, currently of high-grade Earth Tier.]
Su Xun glanced at the explanation. It seemed that this thing was similar to the Scripture Pavilion, but not something he could comprehend in his current state. He once again entered closed-door cultivation.
These days, Su Heng emerged from seclusion. Judging by his aura, he had reached the consummate stage of the Earth Martial realm.
It had to be said that he truly lived up to his identity as a reincarnated individual. Breaking through was as easy as eating and drinking for him.
He went to visit his parents of this lifetime.
Su Heng's father was the seventh elder of the Su family, at the late stage of the Heavenly Martial realm. As for his mother, she came from a small outside family. While her cultivation wasn't high, she had reached the consummate stage of the Earth Martial realm.
These days of interaction made Su Heng feel a stronger sense of belonging to the Su family. Perhaps it was due to his orphaned status in his previous life, the sudden connection of family ties left him feeling attached.
However, a major event occurred in the Su family today.
"That Pingnan Academy truly has an impressive air about it, even daring to disable our Su family's disciples."
Su Zeduan slapped the table and unconsciously released his aura. His cultivation had already reached the half-step True Martial realm several days ago. True Martial realm was likely within his easy reach as well.
He had already understood the situation. It all began when a scion of a powerful family from the Northwestern region came to Pingnan Academy to play. However, he caused trouble and acted tyrannically.
Su Mo was dissatisfied, so he stepped forward and confronted him, only to find that one of Pingnan Academy's deputy deans feared the repercussions from that young master and sought to curry favor with the powerful family. Thus, he directly crippled Su Mo's dantian.
"Elder Zhengyan, how is Su Mo?" Su Zeduan, who had calmed down, asked the composed old man in the audience.
The old man was named Zhengyangzi, Su family's sole sixth-grade alchemist. Compared to figures like Jing Yuanzi and Cangyunzi, they weren't even worth mentioning.
"Patriarch, Su Mo's dantian has been crippled, and he also sustained injuries. While the external injuries can be treated, his dantian…" Zhengyangzi didn't finish his sentence, but Su Zeduan had already understood the result.
"Good show, Pingnan Academy. Summon the family elders for a meeting," a glint of coldness flashed in Su Zeduan's eyes. Dare to offend the Su family, and I'll ensure that none of Pingnan Academy's higher-ups go unscathed.
The order was swiftly conveyed, and in about fifteen minutes, most of the Su family's elders had gathered. Even Su Mo's father, the fifth elder of the Su family, had come. Yet, his weary appearance was impossible to conceal.
His own son's dantian had been crippled, but he was powerless to change it.
"I'm sure you've all heard the news. Su Mo had his dantian crippled by Pingnan Academy," Su Zeduan glanced at the people below.
His younger brother sat there, and the remaining three seats were empty. Years ago, his younger brother left home to explore the world, while his younger sister had long been married. Now, only one person occupied their sibling positions.
The ten elders of the Su family sat at the lowermost seats.
"Patriarch, we're aware as well. Although the Su family isn't weak, the former head of Pingnan Academy is said to have reached the Profound Origin Realm many years ago," the second elder of the Su family shook his head. He naturally understood the reason the family head had gathered them here, and thus he disagreed.
"What are your opinions?" Su Zeduan paid no mind to the second elder, instead looking at the other elders.
The remaining elders exchanged glances but remained silent.
"You uncles really outdid yourselves," Su Zeduan chuckled in frustration.
"It seems that hiding away for these years has dulled your spirit," Su Zeduan showed no restraint in his words.
Su Mo had left home years ago without telling anyone, only to return later to report that he had joined Pingnan Academy. At that time, they all had the grins of rotting tomatoes. But what about now?
"Seems like you're regressing with time," just then, a voice sounded from outside the door, followed by the entrance of several people.
