Chapter 249 Returning to the Capital
Seeing Yun Yao in a daze, Su Yuchen sighed helplessly.
"Fine, I've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. What's the next stage?"
"Golden Core," Yun Yao said.
"Golden elixir?"
“Yes, cultivating the Golden Elixir involves using the human body as a furnace and the essence and qi within the body as medicine, and using the spirit to refine it. Taoism believes that by condensing essence, qi, and spirit, one can form a sacred embryo, thus undergoing a transformation and becoming an immortal. Taoists often speak of the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir, which means that by cultivating to the Golden Elixir stage, one has attained the Great Dao.” Yun Yao spoke eloquently.
After Yun Yao finished speaking, Su Yuchen naturally extended his hand to her.
"What?"
"Cultivation techniques for the Golden Core stage."
Yun Yao: "..." This guy is quite ambitious.
Yun Yao casually lifted her hand, and five golden bamboo slips appeared on the ground.
If anyone else were here, they would be terrified by Yun Yao's ability to conjure objects out of thin air.
Yun Yao pulled Su Yuchen to squat down.
"This first book is relatively gentle, but it takes a long time to cultivate."
"The second book is very aggressive, but its defense is a bit weak. With your temper, who knows how many people you've offended? If your defense isn't good, you might even lose your life."
"The third book also uses a gentle approach. It doesn't provide much assistance in the early stages of your Golden Core cultivation; its effects will become apparent later on."
"The fourth and fifth books are both rather domineering techniques. If you're not careful, you'll suffer from qi deviation. I recommend the third book."
Su Yuchen seemed lost in thought, his expression solemn, until Yun Yao raised her hand and waved it in front of him, bringing him back to his senses.
"what are you thinking?"
"Wanwan, in your opinion, how long will it take me to cultivate the Golden Core?"
Yun Yao was speechless. Was this guy in such a hurry just so he could have sex with her sooner?
"Cough, what are you talking about? Don't think that just because you easily succeeded in Foundation Establishment you can look down on the Golden Core stage. You should know that even when spiritual energy was abundant and cultivators were everywhere, the Golden Core stage was still a major hurdle. Many people got stuck there, neither advancing nor retreating."
Despite Yun Yao's long speech, Su Yuchen's expression remained resolute.
"Wanwan, is there a quick fix?"
Yun Yao: “…”
It seems that Su Yuchen won't give up until he achieves his goal today.
"Okay, a quick fix, right? Yes, of course!" Yun Yao flipped her wrist and tossed a tattered book to Su Yuchen.
"This is the only book I have that can help you reach the Golden Core stage in a month. But let me tell you, it's not a good thing. Even I back then wasn't confident I could handle it."
"Its cultivation method is extremely domineering. Before the golden core is formed, every cultivation session involves reshaping one's meridians. You can imagine how difficult it is. This happens every day for a month."
"To put it bluntly, after a month, you'll be half dead, if not dead!" Yun Yao said with a hint of anger.
Su Yuchen didn't take it seriously and put the book into his Qiankun bag.
Yun Yao lost all interest in continuing to admire the moon, and with a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
Su Yuchen felt somewhat helpless, but he followed.
……
The destruction of the Thousand Virtues Temple enraged everyone in Tantu, who spontaneously set out to find the one who disregarded the gods.
The culprit has already left Tantu.
Only Wu You knew that the incident at Qianci Temple was probably related to Yun Yao and the other person.
But... for some reason, he had no intention of betraying them.
As soon as she left Tantu, her phone signal was restored. Yun Yao glanced at it and saw that there were already dozens of missed calls. It was her fault for not explaining things clearly before she left.
However, Yun Yao did not return their calls and turned off her phone.
"Su Yuchen, do you know who poisoned you?" Yun Yao suddenly asked.
The person driving the car showed a slight change in expression.
"do not know."
"Have you ever thought that if it weren't someone close to you, how could they have poisoned you so easily?" Yun Yao continued.
"I don't know," Su Yuchen said in a deep voice.
Yun Yao stopped talking, her expression dark and unreadable, as if she were lost in thought.
They didn't stop until the car ran out of gas.
The location is a rainforest, deserted and uninhabited, where snakes, rats, insects and ants can be seen scurrying around from time to time.
"This will do," Yun Yao said.
The next second, she took a blanket out of her storage bag and threw it on the ground.
"Let's go."
Su Yuchen looked at the blanket on the ground, somewhat surprised.
Are you sure it's not small?
As if it could understand Su Yuchen's words, the blanket grew to five times its original size as soon as he finished speaking.
Yun Yao smiled and patted Su Yuchen's shoulder.
"It has a spirit, and it's already unhappy. If you keep talking, it might turn on you and throw you off the plane."
After much deliberation, Yun Yao decided to take Su Yuchen back to the capital, and also take the opportunity to train his flying skills.
They arrived in the capital at three in the morning.
The first thing Yun Yao did upon returning home was to take a nice, relaxing bath.
With her magic restored, what used to be a simple cleansing spell has become much more complicated, but she's quite enjoying this human-like comfort.
Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, Yun Yao suddenly spoke.
"Su Yuchen, we're moving back to the old house tomorrow."
The person who was unbuttoning their cuffs paused, their eyes slightly lowered.
"Don't you like it here?"
"No, there are some things I want to figure out," Yun Yao said slowly.
Su Yuchen looked slightly taken aback and responded.
"it is good."
He would accompany her on whatever she wanted to do, regardless of who was involved.
After receiving Su Yuchen's response, Yun Yao hummed in agreement and turned over. A moment later, her long, even breathing could be heard.
That night, Su Yuchen didn't sleep a wink.
……
The next morning, the Su family's old house was in an uproar.
The bodyguards kept carrying things inside, but Bu Lanying tried to stop them. They insisted that it was Third Master's idea.
Having just finished attending Su Feng's funeral, Bu Lanying was exhausted. The thought of Su Yuchen filled her with terror.
"Stop! This is the Su family's property! Did you get my permission to move things here?" Bu Lanying shouted sternly.
Su Weiwen stood on the second-floor railing, looking down at everyone in the hall with a meaningful gaze.
Seeing that Bu Lanying was about to clash with the bodyguards who only obeyed Su Yuchen's orders, he slowly went downstairs.
“Mom, the children are probably coming back to live with us. Feng’er is no longer here, and Su Lan is a strong woman who is never home. Our old house is indeed quite deserted. It wouldn’t be bad for them to come back and keep us company. Let them move out,” Su Weiwen said in a deep voice.
Bu Lanying knew that she couldn't stop him now, and glared fiercely at Su Weiwen.
"Your son made me angry, so now you're going to go against me too?"
"If I had known you were such an ingrate, I would never have given birth to you!" Bu Lanying said angrily.
Su Weiwen looked extremely guilty and reached out to help Bu Lanying up, but she pushed his hand away!
"Stop pretending! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
"With Feng'er dead, the entire Su family is left with only Su Yuchen as its sole heir. Do you think that will make me treat him better? Let me tell you! Impossible!"
"If that's the case, then Feng'er's death is probably all your fault! Hmph! Su Yuchen is your son, but isn't Feng'er his? Look at how you treated him all this time!"
"This is all thanks to that vixen Xiao Yun!"
"You still haven't forgotten her!"
