You’re Running 30,000 Simulations a Day—Trying to Stay Healthy or What?
Chapter 120: Exchange of Hostages
You suddenly looked at Deng Rusong, your eyes filled with admiration.
At this moment, you felt Deng Rusong was more understanding and humane than ever before.
You laughed heartily, "Sect Leader Deng, your proposal is quite interesting!"
Deng Rusong absentmindedly scratched the spot you found agreeable, and he was very pleased.
What Deng Rusong was thinking was that as long as you, He Yu, and Wan Qingluan interacted more, he himself could also get in touch with Yan Zhixue conveniently—what a delight.
Besides, the family behind you, He Yu, was quite mysterious and powerful, matching Wan Qingluan very well in terms of status and identity.
Deng Rusong smiled and said, "Heroine Wan is exceptionally gifted and stunningly beautiful. Young Master He is also a fine man. They are indeed a good match!"
Yan Zhixue wore a lazy smile on her face: "Hehe, matters of love, I have always taught freedom—follow your heart!"
After speaking, Yan Zhixue glanced at Deng Rusong.
Deng Rusong knew this was a hint directed at him, so he raised his head and his gaze darted around awkwardly.
You chuckled, "Young people should meet more, make friends and all that—more friends, more paths!"
The couple, Deng Rusong and Yan Zhixue, also agreed with this reasoning.
Deng Rusong said, "Heroine Wan is currently staying briefly at Danxia Sect. After Yan Zhixue and I return, we can introduce the two of you."
You glanced at Deng Rusong, mentally awarding him the title of Best Support for today.
At the same time, you planned to give him a tangible reward.
You said, "As far as I know, Sect Leader Deng, you are an eighth-grade pill refiner?"
"Master Palace Leader Shangguan is correct," Deng Rusong nodded.
But he knew you wouldn’t ask without reason, so he asked, "What does the Palace Leader mean?"
You paused for a moment, "Actually, I am also an eighth-grade pill refiner!"
Deng Rusong was shocked; he had never known that Great Qian had an Ultimate Grandmaster who was an eighth-grade pill refiner.
Moreover, you were an unparalleled Ultimate Grandmaster. This fact was simply absurd.
Deng Rusong stared at you in a daze; he couldn’t imagine how someone could possess top-tier martial talent and pill refining talent simultaneously.
Yan Zhixue also looked at you with astonishment; she understood how difficult it was to achieve both accomplishments at the same time.
Seeing their shocked gazes, you laughed, "No need to value this too highly emotionally. I’m not saying this to show off."
Deng Rusong realized you might want to say something related to him, so he hurriedly asked, "What does the Palace Leader mean?!"
Your expression was confident: "I mean I’m confident I can become a ninth-grade pill refiner, and..."
"And what?!" Deng Rusong lost composure slightly.
You looked at him solemnly, "And I can give Sect Leader Deng the chance to become a ninth-grade pill refiner as well!"
"Impossible!!" Deng Rusong exclaimed, "If the Palace Leader is an eighth-grade pill refiner, then you must know about Divine Micro-Vision!"
"Of course, I know Divine Micro-Vision, and I also know that Sect Leader Deng has been stuck at eighth-grade precisely because he lacks the Divine Micro-Vision talent!"
"Palace... Palace Leader, what are you trying to say?!" Deng Rusong’s voice trembled.
You said no more, instead reaching into your crotch and pulling out the Mind Evolution Art manual.
You slowly handed it to Deng Rusong, your voice low but clear; Deng Rusong seemed to hear the music of the heavens: "This is the Mind Evolution Art. It can grant Sect Leader Deng the ability of Divine Micro-Vision!"
Deng Rusong’s breathing suddenly grew rapid; your words struck the deepest place of his unwillingness and regret.
Deng Rusong considered himself not inferior to anyone in his life but was unable to reach ninth-grade because he lacked the Divine Micro-Vision talent.
This innate disadvantage beyond his control made him very resentful.
Now hearing you say you could solve this problem, how could he not be excited?
Deng Rusong looked at you incredulously: "Why give it to me?!"
You wanted to say it was because he supported you well, but at the last moment, you changed your words: "This is to thank Sect Leader Deng for taking care of He Yu all these years!"
"Well, it’s not like I took care of him that much," Deng Rusong hesitated, not daring to accept readily.
You directly handed him the Mind Evolution Art: "If you’re going to take it, just take it. No need to say more!"
Deng Rusong was extremely excited and started flipping through it immediately.
After reading just a few pages, Deng Rusong became even more thrilled. He confirmed on the spot that the Mind Evolution Art was exactly what he had dreamed of for years.
Deng Rusong looked at you with excitement, then at the Mind Evolution Art, deeply shocked. You had solved a century-old great problem.
The reason you could create the Mind Evolution Art was that your own Divine Micro-Vision was acquired after birth.
This let you understand the process from zero to one. Xie Huide’s notes helped you solve the problem from one to ten.
Combined with the continuous refinement of the Nine Condensations Profound Skill, your already perfected Divine Micro-Vision was further enhanced, allowing you to reach a higher level.
Thus, you were able to create the Mind Evolution Art with a commanding perspective.
After opening the Mind Evolution Art, Deng Rusong immediately devoted himself wholeheartedly.
He seemed like a lost traveler in the desert, parched for many days, who had just found a clear spring, drinking nectar.
Deng Rusong absorbed the knowledge points in the Mind Evolution Art ravenously; now he even felt that Yan Zhixue beside him was temporarily less appealing.
Seeing Deng Rusong’s state, you told Yan Zhixue to take him back to Danxia Sect.
You also reminded Yan Zhixue to keep a close eye on the obsessed Deng Rusong so that no carts would hit him on the road.
Just after sending off the couple, a guest arrived at your Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams: Kong Ling from the Beast Taming Sect.
Sang Yi brought Kong Ling into the main hall.
Kong Ling had come to take home his three precious beasts.
At the same time, Kong Ling also brought the five sea swallows.
The five originally small sea swallows had all been enlarged proportionally, reaching two to three times their original size. Their physiques were also strengthened, but not by much.
This degree of enhancement you could also achieve with Blood Essence Pills.
You knew the problem was that the breeding time was too short to verify whether the Beast Taming Sect’s boundary was an issue.
You told Kong Ling to take them back and raise them for another two years.
Kong Ling’s face darkened; he had come to exchange hostages today, but you refused to release the birds, making him desperately upset.
"Brother Shangguan, we agreed on one year to return the Emberhawks to me!"
"Brother Kong misunderstood my intentions; of course, I will return them to Brother Kong!"
You told Sang Yi to bring the Emberhawks over.
Kong Ling’s face brightened, "Thank you very much, Brother Shangguan!"
Sang Yi quickly brought the Emberhawks.
Kong Ling smiled and looked over, but his face immediately stiffened: "Brother Shangguan, why is there only one?!"
You laughed, "Brother Kong, help me raise them for one year, and I’ll return one to you in installments. After another two years, I will repay all of them."
"Well, that... okay then."
What else could Kong Ling do? He was powerless.
Kong Ling was about to leave with the single Emberhawk when he felt the bird seemed mentally unwell.
"Brother Shangguan, I feel like..."
"This is a normal problem. Young creatures are shy. Bring it home and raise it for a couple of days, and it will be fine."
Kong Ling gave you a resentful look, "I haven’t even said what the problem is..."
"There’s no problem that a warm home can’t heal. Hurry and take your big bird back."
Kong Ling had no choice but to leave.
What could Kong Ling do? He was helpless.
After sending Kong Ling off, you immediately took off and flew back to Youtong County.
Of course, you flew so fast not because you heard your best friend in the world was at Danxia Sect.
You just wanted to see if the pomegranate flowers on Danxia Mountain had bloomed yet.
