106: Practice on the spot! Just ask if you are fast!
"Master is looking for me?"
Gu Yue entered the room, lightly leaped, and landed on Su Yang's shoulder.
Her five pinkish-white tails looked particularly striking.
Gu Yue was not Su Yang's Spirit Pet and could not enter the Spirit Pet space, so she always perched on Su Yang's shoulder. The Sect Masters of the various Sects had already noticed the astonishing changes in her when they first met Su Yang.
When they left Burial Immortal Valley, Gu Yue still had four tails, but now she had five, which meant she had advanced an entire major Realm.
It was equivalent to moving from Great Nascent Soul Demon to the Realm of Soul Transformation Demon.
This surprise was self-evident.
But she was the Spirit Pet of Su Yang, the master of the divine sword, and Su Yang's Cultivation had improved so rapidly, so they only attributed her rapid progress to him.
As for the exact reason? It must be Su Yang's secret, so naturally, no one dared to ask.
Even Su Yulan thought the same way.
So, seeing Su Yang call Gu Yue, she didn't understand his intention.
Su Yang looked at Su Yulan and smiled slightly, then said to Gu Yue, "Transform for Sect Master Su to see."
Gu Yue knew that Su Yang wanted to gain the trust of the Sect Master before her.
She jumped off Su Yang's shoulder, and before she even landed, she transformed into a beautiful young girl standing beside Su Yang.
At this moment, Su Yulan could no longer remain calm. She instantly stood up from her chair, looking at Gu Yue with an extremely vigilant gaze.
The shock in her heart appeared on her face with extremely subtle expressions.
Heteromorphic Fox Spirits could only transform into Human form after reaching the Peak of nine tails.
This indicated that the young girl before her had at least reached the Peak of nine tails before, and it was even possible that she was currently in her nine-tailed Peak form, merely concealing her strength to make everyone believe she only had the strength of five tails.
Regardless of the possibility, this was enough to be astonishing.
"Little sister, don't be nervous, I won't hurt you~~"
Gu Yue saw Su Yulan's vigilance and giggled as she leaned against Su Yang.
Su Yulan's mouth twitched.
It had been years since she was called 'little sister', and it sounded extremely awkward.
But this Fox Spirit before her could transform into Human form, and no matter what her current strength was, she could indeed call her 'little sister'.
This made her even more uncomfortable.
Su Yang explained, "Sect Master, as you understand, Gu Yue once reached the Peak of nine tails, but she fell due to some special reasons and needed to Cultivate again."
"Sect Master should remember what her Cultivation Realm was last time in Burial Immortal Valley."
Su Yulan replied, "Four tails. If I wasn't mistaken in my perception then, it should have been Mid-Late Stage four tails."
"Exactly!"
Su Yang nodded and continued, "In the past six months since returning to the Sect with me, her Cultivation has already advanced to Middle Stage five tails, which is equivalent to a Human Race Cultivator's Mid-stage Soul Transformation. Now, Sect Master should know why I am confident that I can help you rapidly advance from Qi Refinement Stage to Late-stage Soul Transformation within 10 years, right!?"
Su Yulan looked at Su Yang, then at Gu Yue.
The shock in her heart was imaginable.
But she still didn't understand how Su Yang had managed to do it.
Su Yang also saw the doubt behind her shock.
He said, "I'm sure Sect Master is very curious about what method I used to help Gu Yue improve so tremendously in just half a year."
"And you must also be very curious about what method I will use to help you advance from Qi Refinement Stage to Late-stage Soul Transformation in just 10 years if you help me."
"Next, I will show Sect Master with practical action."
"However, this method is very special, so please, Sect Master, don't be too shocked."
After Su Yang finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground.
Gu Yue naturally understood what Su Yang was about to do. She wasn't that shy; she smiled charmingly and sat on Su Yang.
Su Yulan, seeing this, immediately blushed.
"What are you two doing..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a vast, ocean-like Spiritual Qi madly pouring into Su Yang and Gu Yue's bodies.
The speed of this Spiritual Qi absorption was far beyond what any Cultivator could compare to.
Even the Grand Elders in the Body Integration Stage of the major Sects could not possess such an almost terrifying Spiritual Qi absorption speed.
What shocked Su Yulan even more was that after this Spiritual Qi entered their bodies, the efficiency of its conversion into true Qi was frighteningly high.
Su Yang's improvement was not obvious because he had already reached his Bottleneck.
Gu Yue, who was sitting on him, her Cultivation was almost visibly increasing little by little.
If Gu Yue were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage at this time, she would not have been so surprised by such an improvement.
But her current Cultivation was equivalent to Mid-stage Soul Transformation, and she could still have such a visibly increasing Cultivation. At this moment, Su Yulan completely believed Su Yang's statement that he had the ability to help her advance from Qi Refinement Stage to Late-stage Soul Transformation within 10 years.
According to the Cultivation speed she felt, she even suspected that Su Yang was being conservative when he said 10 years.
If she truly Cultivated at this speed, where would she need 10 years?
It was very likely that she could rapidly advance from Qi Refinement Stage to Late-stage Soul Transformation in 5 to 8 years.
If calculated over 10 years, she might even be able to Breakthrough the Soul Transformation Stage and enter the next Realm—the Void Refining Stage.
Su Yulan's heart rate suddenly accelerated.
Although the scene before her made her feel very ashamed, she clearly saw another possibility of breaking through her own shackles.
Feeling the Spiritual Qi constantly rushing past her, her heartbeat continuously accelerated in silence.
Su Yang noticed the change in her expression.
He motioned for Gu Yue to get up.
Gu Yue twisted her waist, a little unwilling.
But she also knew that now was not the time to Cultivate, so she reluctantly got up from Su Yang.
Su Yang tidied his clothes and also stood up from the ground.
Su Yulan finally came back to her senses, and the moment her eyes met Su Yang's, her face reddened even more.
But a Sect Master was a Sect Master after all; she wasn't a pretty, brainless young girl who would go blank at a slightly embarrassing scene.
Su Yulan scrutinized Su Yang and said, "Is this the special Cultivation method you mentioned?"
Since he had already demonstrated it in front of her, how could Su Yang hide it? He nodded and replied, "That's right, this is my Cultivation method!"
Su Yulan was silent for a moment, then a faint, unreadable smile appeared on her face.
"Your Cultivation method doesn't seem like one from a reputable Righteous Path Sect. Aren't you afraid I'll use this weakness against you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Yue beside Su Yang and added, "Coupled with her identity as a Great Demon, she is also not tolerated by the Righteous Path. These two points are enough to make the Eight Great Sects act against you; at least seven of the Great Sects would be willing to act against you."
Su Yang's face also showed a faint, unreadable smile.
He said, "I have also considered what Sect Master said, but I believe that since you can become a Sect Master, you are by no means short-sighted."
"Furthermore, revealing my secret would be tantamount to offending the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, which would bring no benefit to the Sect Master or the Immortal Shadow Sect."
"Conversely, if we can reach cooperation and help each other, the relationship between the Immortal Shadow Sect and the Profound Heaven Dao Sect will become incredibly close, supporting each other and progressing together, which is entirely beneficial and harmless."
"I believe Sect Master knows how to choose!"
Su Yang's words were very firm and very confident.
His seemingly casual remarks subtly included a threat while heavily emphasizing the benefits.
Although there was a distinction between the Upper Three Sects and Lower Five Sects among the Eight Great Sects, Su Yang had already realized during their last trip to Burial Immortal Valley that none of the Sect Masters of these Eight Great Sects were ordinary individuals.
How could an ordinary person become a Sect Master?!
Su Yulan looked at Su Yang.
This young man was still as astonishingly calm as before, and his words always carried a composure and shrewdness that did not match his age.
Su Yulan was contemplating her own interests and the interests of her Sect.
On the surface, this matter indeed seemed entirely beneficial and harmless to her and the Immortal Shadow Sect, but... Su Yulan was the Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect, not a pretty woman without a brain.
She was well aware that the benefits she was hearing now were the benefits Su Yang wanted her to hear.
But what about the reality?
Su Yulan looked at Su Yang thoughtfully, and her thoughts on this matter turned in a direction Su Yang least wanted to see...
