    "Perceptive?"

    "A newly promoted Lower Courtyard disciple?"

    "This quickly?" Liang Yi''s face was filled with shock.

    The Daoist Seal disappeared, either because it was wiped out with a Round Light Mirror or because the host had cultivated Perceptive Spirit Light.

    "This guy, he''s not simple," Liang Yi said with a playful look on his face.

    "Less than a year to cultivate Perceptive Spirit Light?" Liang Yi shook his head.

    Those who enter the Lower Courtyard are at most at the Jade Seed stage. Ordinary people can''t cultivate Perceptive Spirit Light in one year.

    "Is it an overlooked Innate Taoist Bone or a special bloodline?"

    "Lin Su''s going to be scratching his head over this one," Liang Yi chuckled with schadenfreude.

    But as he laughed, his smile faded.

    With the Daoist Seal gone, the Jade Plate he gave to Lin Su was useless.

    "That guy won''t suspect it was my doing, will he?" Liang Yi suddenly had a bad premonition.

    "Is this blame going to be pinned on me?"

    This was getting awkward indeed.

    ...

    Lin Su moved like lightning, turning into a wisp of black smoke.

    "As long as I find the Exquisite Jade Plate..." he clenched his fists involuntarily.

    The Exquisite Jade Plate could gather Earth Spirit Vitality, forming a small Daoist training ground.

    This would allow him to break free from environmental dependency during his Condensing Aperture cultivation.

    And shatter Jilong Road''s Upper Court monopoly on Earth Spirit Vitality.

    "Once my Condensing Aperture reaches perfection, what of Song Wujie, what of Jilong Road''s Upper Court, huh!" Lin Su trembled with excitement!

    "And that little thief who stole the Exquisite Jade Plate," Lin Su said hatefully.

    If not for that person, he would have obtained the Exquisite Jade Plate two months earlier!

    "I''ll see how I''ll deal with you!" Lin Su''s face twisted into a sinister smile.

    For the past two months, he had imagined more than once how to torture the thief who stole the treasure.

    "No rush, we''ll play it slow!" He looked at the White Jade in his hand with malice.

    Then he discovered, to his horror, that the ink spot which had just been clearly visible, had now disappeared.

    Lin Su: "..."

    My Exquisite Jade Plate, where is it?

    Liang Yi?

    This son of a bitch still wanted to cheat me out of my money?!

    Damn!

    ...

    Behind Low Mountain, in a small valley.

    Chen Mu held a millstone-sized rock in his right hand, tossing it as if it were an egg.

    He raised his hand and threw it into the sky.

    Chen Mu stood there, looking up at the rock as it climbed more than ten meters above his head.

    "The difficult part is being perceptive," sighed Old Hao.

    "I unified my spirit and soul twenty years ago, brought my Jade Seed to Perfection, and tried to be perceptive of Earth Spirit Vital Energy to cultivate the Body Protection Aura."

    "Now..." Old Hao said with a dismissive twist of his mouth.

    Twenty years? Is Perceptive Spirit Light that hard to cultivate? What about this black smoke?

    "Is it because of the concentration of Earth Spirit Vital Energy?" Chen Mu thought of the Exquisite Jade Plate and asked tentatively.

    Old Hao glanced at Chen Mu, "Pretty smart, huh."

    "It can''t be that everyone just wastes away, right?" Chen Mu frowned.

    "One hundred White Jade Coins, and you can cultivate in the Upper Court''s Daoist Halls for a month," Old Hao took a drag on his pipe and shrugged nonchalantly, "I''ve been there five times..."

    Chen Mu looked at him with sympathy.

    After more than twenty years of trying and having gone five times without success in cultivating the Aura, who knew how many more years it would take.

    Glancing at Old Hao''s face, Chen Mu couldn''t help asking, "At your age, why are you still enduring this?"

    "With the power of your Spirit and Soul Unification, wouldn''t you have a more carefree and joyful life as a wealthy man in the secular world?"

    Old Hao gave Chen Mu a sidelong glance, "I''m seventy-five."

    "That''s quite young, okay!"

    "Hold on for another fifty or sixty years, and maybe it will be perfected, right?"

    "Even if it really doesn''t work out, I''ll only be a hundred and twenty or thirty then."

    "It''s still not too late to go to the secular world and take twenty or thirty concubines to enjoy life."

    Chen Mu: "..."

    Seventy-five?

    Young?

    Over a hundred years old and taking twenty or thirty concubines?

    What kind of outrageous and wild talk is this!

    Chen Mu then came to a realization.

    Jilong Road''s Lower Courtyard disciples were at least at the perfection of Shell Soul.

    After achieving Spirit and Soul Unification, as long as they were not killed, they could still be hopping around lively when they died at the age of one hundred fifty to sixty.

    After all, those who had undergone Shape Cultivation were already somewhat less than human.

    ...

    "With so many people in the Perceptive Stage, how come I''ve never seen a copy of the Perceptive Secret Technique?" After some idle chat, Chen Mu finally voiced his confusion.

    "Who has copies after perceiving?" Old Hao rolled his eyes, "Copies are only for those who haven''t completed the Jade Seed."

    No copies?

    So, he couldn''t fleece the Scripture Transmission Institute after all.

    "Why are you asking about this when you haven''t even completed the Jade Seed?" Old Hao glanced at Chen Mu.

    "Just curious, purely curious," Chen Mu smiled knowingly.

    He narrowed his eyes toward the dim wall ahead, focusing on one particular section.

    True Sun Scripture: Limit;

    In his mind, the six Divine Intent Diagrams of the Shape Cultivation Technique disappeared completely.

    A peanut-sized White Jade sphere broke through the fog, clearly emerging before his eyes.

    During the harvest of the Yellow Bud Rice, the True Sun Scripture was officially pushed to its limit by him.
