    Chapter 361

    While Su Hao was researching the energy structures of the three basic spells he had learned in the Qi Induction Realm, Feng Ling came looking for him.

    She handed him three thin manuals.

    "Feng Wei, these are the Foundation Establishment Realm's Cloud Heart Technique, Cloud Spirit Technique, and Wind Art of Deception."

    "You may read them, but don't try cultivating them casually."

    "I'm afraid you might accidentally break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

    As she spoke, there was a strange tone in her voice.

    Afraid someone might accidentally break through?

    Who in the cultivation world would ever worry about something like that?

    Everyone else desperately wished to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm as quickly as possible, even risking failure and a shortened lifespan.

    Yet Feng Ling's greatest concern was that her disciple might advance too quickly and be sent out of the immortal sect.

    Su Hao smiled as he accepted the manuals.

    "I thought Master had forgotten."

    "I was planning to remind you in a few days."

    "I didn't expect Master to be so trustworthy."

    "Excellent."

    "I'll definitely become an immortal in the future."

    Feng Ling's mouth twitched.

    "...Thank you for your praise."

    After a brief pause, she asked,

    "Among those three spells..."

    "...how many have you cultivated?"

    Originally she had wanted to ask whether he had cultivated one of them.

    Fortunately, she caught herself in time.

    Otherwise...

    Wouldn't she just be inviting Feng Wei to slap her in the face again?

    After suffering enough shocks over the past few months, she had finally learned her lesson.


    ---

    Su Hao nodded seriously.

    "Those three spells were actually quite difficult."

    Feng Ling nodded instinctively.

    "Indeed."

    Then Su Hao continued,

    "It took me nearly three months before I finally mastered all three."

    Feng Ling froze.

    "..."

    Without another word, Su Hao demonstrated them one after another.

    Wind Spirit Protective Shield.

    Wind Walk Technique.

    Wind Bullet.

    All three were cast flawlessly.

    Feng Ling took a deep breath.

    "Very good."

    "It took you nearly three months to master them."

    "They truly are difficult spells."

    "I'll be leaving now."

    "As for the Foundation Establishment Realm's Heart Technique, Spirit Technique, and spell manual..."

    "I won't explain them to you yet."

    "As for the introductory books on alchemy, artifact refinement, formation arrays, and the rest..."

    "I'm still trying to get them."

    "There should be progress soon."

    "You'll need to wait a little longer."

    After thinking for a moment, Feng Ling took two small porcelain bottles from her sleeve and handed them over.

    "These are Qi Induction Pills."

    "They're specifically used by Qi Induction cultivators during the Accumulation stage to speed up spiritual power cultivation."

    "But..."

    "...it seems you don't need them."

    "Take these to Feng Cheng instead."

    "He needs them much more than you do."

    "Oh, and help guide his cultivation whenever you have time."

    "I'm about to enter secluded cultivation."

    "I'm going to attempt a breakthrough to the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm—Perseverance."

    "I won't come out for at least fifty days."


    ---

    Taking the pills, Su Hao looked at Feng Ling in surprise.

    "Master..."

    "You still haven't broken through to the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

    "It's already been three months."

    "Is Foundation Establishment cultivation really that difficult?"

    Feng Ling didn't even want to answer.

    She shot him a look full of disdain before floating away without another word.


    ---

    Only after becoming Feng Ling's disciple had Su Hao realized something.

    Originally...

    He had assumed Feng Ling was at least a Golden Core cultivator.

    Only later did he discover...

    She was merely in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

    That surprised him slightly.

    He hadn't expected Foundation Establishment cultivators to be qualified to accept disciples.

    Thinking back...

    Everything suddenly made sense.

    Once Su Hao reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, Feng Ling would have completed her teaching responsibilities.

    According to sect rules, she would then have to leave the sect to undertake missions.

    It felt rather strange.

    Like someone who had just graduated from middle school immediately becoming an elementary school teacher.


    ---

    Another thought crossed Su Hao's mind.

    "So..."

    "The Foundation Establishment cultivation methods are taught by one's own master."

    "But after reaching Foundation Establishment..."

    "...if one wants the Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivation methods..."

    "...they can no longer be obtained from the master."

    "They must come from the sect."

    The method of obtaining them wasn't difficult to guess.

    Sect missions.

    "So..."

    "It's basically completing missions in exchange for rewards."

    "Each completed mission further ties the cultivator's interests to the sect."

    "Preventing them from leaving and founding their own sect."

    Cultivators were, for the most part, secluded people.

    Outside of their own master and fellow disciples, they rarely interacted with anyone.

    Nor did they have much interest in socializing.

    Trying to maintain a sect purely through personal bonds would never last.

    Using—shared interests—as the foundation instead...

    That was a much more reliable solution.

    It benefited both sides.

    "I'll probably have to perform sect missions eventually."

    "Hopefully they won't waste too much of my time."


    ---

    After leaving the stone peak, Su Hao walked straight to Feng Cheng's residence.

    Knocking once, he tossed over one bottle of Qi Induction Pills.

    "Junior Brother."

    "Master asked me to give these to you."

    "They'll speed up your spiritual power accumulation."

    As for the second bottle...

    Su Hao intended to keep it for research.


    ---

    Feng Cheng's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng Wei!"

    Su Hao waved his hand.

    "Don't thank me."

    "Thank Master."

    He turned to leave.

    Just then, Feng Cheng hurriedly called out,

    "Senior Brother!"

    "Could I ask you a few questions about cultivation?"

    Su Hao stopped.

    He slowly turned around.

    Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he circled Feng Cheng once before examining him carefully.

    "So..."

    "Junior Brother Feng Cheng..."

    "What stage has your cultivation reached?"

    Feeling rather uncomfortable under Su Hao's scrutiny, Feng Cheng nervously answered,

    "I... think I've cultivated Mind Intent."

    "But I'm not completely sure."

    Su Hao nodded approvingly.

    "You've already cultivated Mind Intent."

    "I didn't expect you to be quite the genius."

    Feng Cheng frantically waved both hands.

    "No!"

    "No!"

    "I'm really quite stupid!"

    Su Hao laughed.

    "Junior Brother..."

    "Your cultivation speed is indeed rather slow."

    In truth...

    Reaching Mind Intent in less than half a year already made Feng Cheng an exceptionally talented cultivator.

    Unfortunately...

    Standing beside Su Hao, everyone else looked ordinary.

    Even Feng Ling had unknowingly overlooked Feng Cheng's talent.


    ---

    Feng Cheng nodded miserably.

    "It's too slow."

    "I'm just too stupid."

    "No matter how hard I try, I can't understand."

    "I'll have to trouble Senior Brother to guide me more."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Guide you?"

    "Of course."

    "We're fellow disciples."

    "There's no need to be polite."

    After a brief pause, he suddenly asked,

    "Junior Brother..."

    "Do you want to cultivate faster?"

    Feng Cheng's eyes widened.

    "Senior Brother..."

    "You're willing to teach me?"

    Su Hao merely smiled.


    ---

    To ordinary cultivators...

    Cultivation was the process of transforming oneself into an immortal.

    To Su Hao...

    Cultivation was simply another field of research.

    It meant studying every property of spiritual power...

    Understanding its principles...

    Then applying that knowledge to achieve whatever effects he desired.

    Research naturally required experiments.

    And experiments required test subjects.


    ---

    Feng Cheng...

    A genuine cultivation genius.

    Modest.

    Hardworking.

    Free of the arrogance common among disciples from wealthy families.

    After spending some time with him...

    Su Hao found him to be an excellent candidate.

    Of course...

    Feng Cheng wasn't useful yet.

    His Mind Intent had only just formed.

    He was still far from meeting Su Hao's requirements.

    Once Feng Cheng developed a mature Mind Intent...

    Many of Su Hao's theories could finally be tested.


    ---

    Over the following days...

    Su Hao deliberately spent some time guiding Feng Cheng's cultivation.

    Under his guidance, Feng Cheng's progress accelerated noticeably.

    Feng Cheng couldn't help sighing inwardly.

    Senior Brother Feng Wei...

    ...is truly a good person.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao entered Marble Space.

    With a wave of his hand, a quiet study materialized around him.

    He leaned comfortably into a chair.

    Then began thinking about another matter.

    "The cheat system for Yashan..."

    "How should I design it?"

    In Su Hao's original design...

    Yashan's consciousness remained confined within the Little Black Room.

    He couldn't perceive Marble Space itself.

    He could only receive information transmitted through the Little Black Room.

    Back in the previous world...

    Su Hao had already added an Enemy Marking function to Little Light.

    It allowed Yashan to see floating red arrows above marked enemies.

    If he expanded that feature...

    Turning it into a complete operating interface visible only to Yashan...

    Then the so-called "golden finger" would naturally come into existence.

    After thinking for a while, Su Hao smiled.

    "First..."

    "It needs a name."

    "Let's call it..."

    "Universal Assistant."

    Now...

    What functions should this Universal Assistant include?

    Bro. If this guy gets another male perma-assistant before he even gets a real female friend, I might just drop.

    Why is the author making the MC surround himself with males without a female in sight? Even back then in the mutant world when he went to test on making 8 people rank 4 mutants, none of them were female. The only females he knows are the ones in his families (Yashan daughter can be considered a niece), and he doesn't care much about them, just throw them a bit of the good stuff so they can be safe and quiet.

    Lame af. Potentially gay af.

      Bro you are really being cringe af now. Why the weeping?
      Like, why are you so horny you want to see mc making out with a female?
      Man is busy and he has no need for it.
      What does he need family for? It's a distraction for him.
      You saw how he "cares" for kids. To him they are just an annoying thing he'd either assign tasks to or stuff away.
      You think he cares for a woman? What is the use? To stick his rod in and feel a bodily satisfaction? If he wanted this, he could just generate a hormone injection or whatever. What else? To generate annoying bugs requiring his attention? He has knowledge to gather and experiment on, wtf is this cringe activity? That's his viewpoint.
      It' not mc being gay it's you being horny and cringe, sooo sad about 200+ year old dude not making out with those twelve year old girls in his current life's hometown.
      Rethink your life, man. Fr.

        First of all, all I want to see is a relationship, not sex. If I wanted to see sex I have a million and one options. Furthermore, my real life is not lacking in that regard anyways so I am not a person that is wanting.

        Second of all, the matter of age in a cultivation world is obsolete. He could wait 1000 years without touching them and they'd still look young, what's a mere ten years compared to that?

        Third of all, what kind of distraction could they be? Distract him from what by doing what? Oh no, he has to take 3-4 days out of a month in his 1000+ year life to check on them, what a great distraction! He'll NEVER achieve his goals now!

        Dumbass.

        Besides, my annoyance was not because of the case itself but instead a series of cases with this one being the final straw.

        Also, did you say that he should create a hormonal injection to replace sex and relationships to avoid wasting time...? You're sped.

      Horny dog puke

      In the first place Su hao is not basically normal human now because his consciousness has been sleeping more than million years from pinball space. His thinking, belief, ideology, perception and pov has been changed. And a flesh body doesn't affect him anymore like hormones of the body. His pursuit is knowledge. As for no female interest to him it was a distraction. It doesn't define that he is GAY he just find it burdensome. As for no female assistant it just he didn't find capable as of now maybe in the next world he could find an astounding female assistant. That's it ASSISTANT no romance.
