74: Chapter 74 No one understands Foundation Establishment better than me
Kids playing around and being a bit rebellious during their teenage years is something the Sect can turn a blind eye to.
But if you talk about unifying the inner Sect and forming a massive faction, you'd practically be begging the Sect Master to use a Reincarnation Spell on you!
Even if they didn't care about the Inner Sect Disciples growing too powerful or committing insubordination, no Sect Master would want the entire next generation of the Sect to turn into a bunch of delinquents.
The moment we achieve dominance, immediately announcing our dissolution and returning to normal is the best course of action!
Su Yi not only thought this, but had even already planned how to draw a clear line between himself and them.
He was a good kid personally recognized by the Sect Master, so how could he hang around with a bunch of delinquents?
My Brother Su is a respectable man; fighting and killing do not suit my Brother Su.
Su Yi said righteously, "After entering the Sect, Senior Brother Chen took great care of me. This time, I only wanted to make up for Senior Brother Chen's regrets. My actions over the past two days were merely because I was entrusted by someone!"
Now was the perfect time to pull Senior Brother Chen Feng out as a shield!
Meanwhile, Gu Wanquan, who had just gotten out of bed, leaned against the doorframe and looked at Su Yi with a playful glint in his eyes. "So Senior Brother only wanted to return Senior Brother Chen's kindness? You still love meddling in other people's business as much as ever!"
Li Yunxiao naturally understood that if Senior Brother Chen hadn't been in the middle...
Senior Brother Su Yi and Senior Brother Gu Wanquan would certainly look down on them.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, having once unified the inner Sect was already enough to satisfy him.
This morning, when his archrival Liu Xiaoyao came begging in tears with a black and blue face to join the Azure Dragon Gang, Li Yunxiao was absolutely thrilled.
This time, even if they couldn't unify the inner Sect, the Azure Dragon Gang would return to its Peak from when Senior Brother Chen was around!
But hearing that Su Yi no longer wanted to manage the affairs of the Azure Dragon Gang and the Ask Heaven Gang, Li Yunxiao also expressed his understanding.
A Prodigy like Brother Su is destined to become a personal disciple of the Sect, or even a personal disciple of the Sect Master.
The Inner Sect Perimeter simply cannot hold a true Dragon!
The benefits of becoming the leader, which Li Yunxiao thought were great, were already an excellent help to those in the Inner Sect Perimeter.
But Su Yi rejected them outright, showing just how firm Su Yi's heart for seeking the Dao was!
Li Yunxiao sighed in admiration, "As expected of Senior Brother Su. What I thought were great benefits of becoming the leader are nothing but passing clouds in your eyes!"
Benefits? What benefits?
Su Yi's ears instantly perked up!
If there are benefits, you should have said so earlier! No rush to dissolve, let's settle the benefits first!
Su Yi looked at Li Yunxiao and asked, feigning surprise, "There are benefits to being the leader of the delinquents?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "They're just trivial matters. For classes, the younger brothers can check in for you, and for the monthly exams, they can take them on your behalf. But with Senior Brother Su's talent..."
"Stop! That's enough. I think the dissolution can wait a bit!" Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he blurted out impatiently.
"Who understands this, brothers?!"
"A One-Day Trial Card of Returning to the Third Year of High School almost claimed Su Yi's old life."
"Now that there's an easy mode, who would miserably wake up early to go to class!"
"Being the leader of the delinquents is great! No one is allowed to snatch this leader position from me!"
"Between not studying and his life, Su Yi chose not studying with his eyes closed!"
"Being the leader of the delinquents might easily make the Sect view him as a troublemaker, but it won't necessarily kill him."
"But the torment of returning to the third year of high school—where you want to die but can't—it's better to just die!"
"Damn it, let's do it!"
"Isn't it just being a delinquent?"
Su Yi patted the stunned Li Yunxiao on the shoulder and said righteously once more, "Since I was entrusted by Senior Brother Chen, if you still harbor the idea of being a cultivation delinquent, then I have an obligation to continue helping you!"
"Uh? Senior Brother Su, there's no need!" Li Yunxiao subconsciously refused.
"No, there is a need! It pains me deeply to see why you, who have clearly entered the inner Sect, would let yourselves rot!"
"Senior Brother Su, we will also go to class properly. Slacking off is just for our spare time..."
But Su Yi scolded with deep grief and indignation, "If you don't pay attention in class, what difference is there from not going at all?"
"You clearly have bright futures, yet you only think about idling away your days!"
"Senior Brother Chen is not much older than you, yet he is already a Half-Step Golden Core. You guys are still wandering around the Inner Sect Perimeter. Doesn't your heart ache?"
At the mention of Senior Brother Chen Feng, Li Yunxiao opened his mouth, his expression turning dim as he whispered, "Senior Brother Chen Feng has outstanding talent, while we..."
"Nonsense! To be able to enter the inner Sect by the age of twenty, you also possess talent. It pains me deeply that you are giving up on yourselves like this!"
Su Yi's deeply pained and regretful look caught Li Yunxiao and the lackeys behind him completely off guard.
"Wait, don't I know my own level?"
"If we were truly exceptionally talented, why would we have wasted several years in the Foundation Establishment 3rd Layer?"
"It's fine if you lie to yourself, but please don't lie to us brothers too!"
Su Yi looked at the crowd in front of him, who didn't believe him at all, with a stern face. He raised a finger and said, "One month! In one month, I will help all of you advance to the Foundation Establishment 4th Layer!"
"Are you bragging, buddy?!"
"Foundation Establishment is not like Qi Refining, where you only need to refine nine streams of True Qi to let the True Qi in your body naturally become Innate."
"Foundation Establishment is about True Essence, which is liquefied Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi stored within the Dantian."
"True Essence and True Qi are not even on the same order of magnitude."
"Not to mention, Foundation Establishment does not only require cultivating True Essence. One must also gradually understand their own Spiritual Root through spells, and comprehend the Five Elements attribute characteristics that suit them best."
"The so-called Five Elements attribute characteristics, such as the softness of water—the Softness Around the Fingers that Su Yi obtained is a skill that possesses a Five Elements characteristic!"
"And once one condenses a Divine Ability with an attribute characteristic, they can prepare to condense the core Divine Ability!"
"Condensing a Divine Ability Golden Core to become a Divine Ability Cultivator makes one a Great Cultivator of this world!"
"This is also the Realm that countless low-level Cultivators dream of the most!"
"The Realm of Foundation Establishment is also the chasm that separates ordinary Cultivators from Great Cultivators!"
"As for cultivation, the characteristics that everyone can comprehend are different. Even the Sect Master, who is a Body Integration True Monarch, cannot know what another person's characteristic is."
"It relies entirely on one's own Comprehension Ability and effort; others cannot help at all!"
"But this was no obstacle for Su Yi!"
"Although the game immortal path had hundreds of millions of players exploring it, and the entire world of immortal path was thoroughly ploughed by players searching for Opportunities..."
"But when it came to the cultivation of NPCs, players really didn't understand it that well."
"Cultivate? What cultivation?"
"Isn't it just clicking to level up once the experience is full?"
"The so-called Five Elements characteristic Divine Abilities, aren't those automatically acquired upon leveling up?"
"So the players really didn't understand the NPCs' system!"
"But the difference between Su Yi and other players was that he was the number one lackey under the Empress!"
"Those Great Cultivators under the Empress, even if they were of a higher Rank than him, didn't they still treat him like a brother?"
"Do you understand the value of being a favored official? Do you understand the value of being the number one lackey?"
"Where did the Empress's structured armies of Cultivators come from?"
"Weren't they all trained by the Great Cultivators under the Empress?"
"When Su Yi was drinking and chatting with them, he had also heard about their methods for training Cultivators."
"In the expansion pack of immortal path where the two Empresses fought for hegemony, the NPCs in the game had long since found a crude and simple path of cultivation for low-level Cultivators!"
"Although this method couldn't produce a Divine Ability Great Cultivator..."
"As long as there was no problem with one's Root Bone, training could push a Cultivator to the very limit of their Root Bone!"
"Therefore, in the expansion pack of the Hegemony of the Two Empresses, the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining and the Foundation Establishment 9th Layer were already considered cannon fodder."
"And having learned this method of training soldiers, Su Yi dared to declare at this moment:"
"No one understands Foundation Establishment better than me!"
