    Chapter 362

    The functions of the Universal Assistant depended entirely on its intended purpose.

    Su Hao had already planned Yashan's future responsibilities. They would mainly revolve around logistics and research, such as the scientific cultivation of spirit herbs, scientific breeding of spirit beasts, scientific alchemy, and scientific artifact refinement.

    The word "scientific" was important.

    Yashan wasn't simply going to farm herbs or refine pills by hand. His job was to organize experiments, optimize production methods, and eventually achieve large-scale manufacturing of pills, artifacts, and other cultivation resources.

    "So, the basic functions of the Universal Assistant are easy to determine."

    Su Hao quickly listed them.

    "Record, Compare, Calculate, Search, Magnifier, Experiment Simulation, Task List, Calendar, Mail, and Address Book."

    After thinking for a moment, he continued,

    "Yashan's current knowledge base is far too limited. Learning efficiency has to be improved, so I'll add a Library module."

    "And since people need to relax occasionally, I'll also include a Games module with a few simple games."

    As he spoke, he continuously expanded the original Enemy Marker function, gradually shaping it into an entirely new system.

    Three days later...

    Inside the Marble Space, Su Hao looked at the translucent virtual interface before him with satisfaction.

    After leaving the Marble Space, he opened his eyes and softly called,

    "Universal Assistant."

    The next instant, a pale blue interface unfolded before his eyes.

    Neatly arranged icons floated across the transparent display. The layout was simple, beautiful, and, most importantly, didn't obstruct his normal vision.

    His gaze settled on one of the icons.

    Library.

    The screen immediately changed into rows upon rows of bookshelves.

    Su Hao selected Basic Rune Analysis.

    The book floated off the shelf and opened automatically in front of him, every line of text displayed with perfect clarity.

    He tested each remaining function one after another.

    After confirming there were no obvious problems, he nodded with satisfaction.

    "Overall, it's good enough."

    "I'll let Yashan use it first. If any issues appear, I'll optimize it later."

    ...

    The following day, Su Hao injected Yashan with the Prophet serum.

    Not long afterward, Yashan fell into a deep sleep.

    When he finally woke up, he discovered that the entire world had changed.

    "Ding! Hello, Mr. Yashan. Your Universal Assistant is now online. For details, silently think 'Universal Assistant.'"

    A sweet female voice echoed inside his mind.

    Yashan froze.

    Almost instinctively, he thought,

    "Universal Assistant."

    His vision blurred slightly.

    Then a translucent blue interface unfolded about a meter in front of him.

    Before he could continue exploring it, Su Hao interrupted him.

    "Yashan, I've finished installing your computer."

    "Take your time learning its functions."

    "I'm heading back now."

    "Oh, and memorize the basic runes as soon as possible. Everything is already stored in the Library. Figure it out yourself."

    Yashan finally recovered from his shock.

    His eyes shone with excitement.

    "Got it, Boss Wei!"

    "I'm a genius now! Learning basic runes will be easy!"

    ...

    After returning to Yunzhong Wangyue Valley, Su Hao took out the bottle of Qi Induction Pills Feng Ling had given him.

    He poured all the black soybean-sized pills into his palm and examined them carefully.

    Their shapes were uneven and crude.

    "They don't even look professionally refined," he muttered.

    Injecting a thread of blood energy into one of the pills, he recorded its complete structure before swallowing it whole.

    He sat cross-legged and entered an investigative state, carefully observing every reaction occurring inside his body.

    An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes.

    "As expected."

    "This pill simply increases the concentration of the protein-like substance inside the body, thereby accelerating the conversion of spiritual energy into spiritual power."

    Unfortunately, it was practically useless to him.

    What Su Hao truly wanted was a pill that could instantly replenish spiritual power itself, preferably bypassing the entire conversion process.

    After putting the remaining pills away, he began reading the cultivation manuals Feng Ling had given him for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

    After finishing the Heart Technique, Spirit Technique, and Spell Technique, he gained a general understanding of the realm.

    During the Qi Induction Realm, cultivators established the basic meridian framework through which spiritual power circulated.

    The purpose of the Foundation Establishment Realm was to build an automatic spiritual power core upon that framework.

    Once completed, this core functioned much like a human heart.

    It continuously drove spiritual power throughout the body, becoming the central hub of the entire spiritual power system.

    According to cultivators, this formed a brand-new life cycle within the body.

    That new cycle continuously nourished the physical body, which was supposedly why Foundation Establishment cultivators enjoyed much longer lifespans.

    However, Su Hao wasn't convinced.

    "As the Lifebearer, I possess an extraordinary life force capable of regenerating flesh almost instantly."

    "But regeneration alone doesn't significantly extend lifespan."

    "So how could simply creating a spiritual power circulation increase longevity by decades or even centuries?"

    "There has to be a deeper reason."

    The Foundation Establishment Realm was divided into four minor stages:

    Solidifying Core, Accumulating Pool, Closing Essence, and Maintaining Guard.

    Feng Ling had only recently broken through to the third stage, Closing Essence—and that was after cultivating diligently for over ten years.

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "Master's talent really isn't that impressive. After more than ten years, she still hasn't reached the Golden Core Realm."

    Naturally, he had forgotten that his own "normal" cultivation speed was already dozens of times faster than everyone else's. Combined with the artificial spiritual energy field he had created himself, comparing his progress with ordinary cultivators was meaningless.

    Setting aside the Spirit Technique and Spell Technique, Su Hao picked up the Heart Technique and began studying it carefully.

    Before advancing into the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivators first had to cultivate the corresponding Heart Technique.

    Its purpose was to evolve the Mind cultivated during the Qi Induction Realm into Intent.

    According to the manual, once Intent was formed, one could "move spiritual power as naturally as moving one's own limbs," while also gaining the ability to "communicate with the intelligence of birds, beasts, insects, and fish."

    Su Hao quietly analyzed it.

    "So-called Intent is simply an advanced form of Mind."

    "It greatly strengthens perception while allowing much finer control over spiritual power."

    "In other words..."

    "As long as I cultivate Intent without constructing the spiritual power core, I won't actually break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

    "Intent itself isn't the Foundation Establishment Realm."

    "It's merely a necessary tool for entering it."

    "It's like using a wrench to tighten a bolt. The wrench isn't the machine itself."

    With that understanding, Su Hao closed his eyes and began cultivating Intent.

    ...

    Two months later.

    Intent had finally taken shape.

    At that moment, Su Hao calmly guided spiritual power into the sensory rune embedded inside his body, activating it with Intent for the very first time.

    "Hummm—"

    His consciousness trembled violently as if struck by an invisible high-frequency vibration.

    The next instant—

    His perception radius exploded outward.

    From its original ten thousand meters, it instantly expanded to fifty thousand meters, piercing straight through the mist formations surrounding Yunzhong Wangyue Valley and extending far beyond the sect.

    This was something he had never been capable of before.

    Every living creature within a radius of fifty kilometers entered his perception.

    At the same time, countless black-and-white contour lines rapidly assembled into an enormous topographical map inside his consciousness, resembling a hand-drawn landscape painting.

    Most importantly, the life signals that had previously appeared only as vague dots now possessed clear outlines.

    He could immediately distinguish whether a target was a person, a cow, a dog, or another living creature.

    Every disciple inside Yunzhong Wangyue Valley now existed within Su Hao's perception.

    Some were walking.

    Some stood chatting.

    Some meditated atop mountain peaks.

    Some hunted in the forests.

    Some slept peacefully.

    Some secretly met their lovers.

    Others hid themselves away in secluded corners to handle rather embarrassing personal matters.

    None of it escaped his perception.

    He also sensed many familiar figures.

    Among them were the disciples who had entered the sect alongside him...

    ...and Feng Ling herself.

    Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.

    "Merging Intent with spiritual power to activate the sensory rune..."

    "The effect is astonishing."

    "And this is while I'm deliberately holding back."

    "If I release it without restraint..."

    A smile slowly appeared on his face.

    "Perhaps this world will allow me to undergo another complete leap in strength."

    "The applications of spiritual power are far more miraculous than I originally imagined."

    His attention then shifted toward Feng Ling.

    "Oh?"

    "Master has already come out of seclusion."

    "It seems she successfully broke through to the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm—Maintaining Guard."

    "I should congratulate her."

    "And remind her that it's time to fulfill her promise of obtaining books on alchemy and artifact refinement."

    Su Hao stood up and walked outside.

    Before long, he intercepted the excited Feng Ling halfway along the mountain path.

    Feigning surprise, he smiled.

    "Oh? Master, what a coincidence."

    "Judging from your expression, it looks like your breakthrough was successful."

    "Congratulations."

    Feng Ling, whose face was still flushed with excitement, immediately grabbed Su Hao's wrist.

    "Feng Wei!"

    "You came at the perfect time."

    "Come with me."

    "I'll take you to get the books you've been asking for."

    Without waiting for a reply, she leaped into the air, carrying Su Hao as they flew toward the edge of Yunzhong Wangyue Valley.
