C35 All the Rare Treasures Were Presented.

"Begin with a period of meditation to clear your spirit veins, which will enhance your ability to absorb more spiritual energy. Once you've done that, I'll show you how to harness it," Jiang Su instructed.

Wang Tian followed his advice, sitting cross-legged and settling into his meditation. As he focused intently on his practice, the pill he had taken began to work its magic. Initially, he experienced a sharp pain in his meridians, but soon after, his spirit veins opened up, and he gained dozens more. The thrill of this discovery was immense; despite being in the Body Forging Stage, he now possessed numerous spirit veins that could draw in the spiritual energy of the world, accelerating his progress. Hope was in sight.

His ambition was clear: to become Jiang's most formidable disciple, to live up to the meticulous tutelage Jiang Su had provided.

Observing Wang Tian's deepening concentration, Jiang Su nodded in satisfaction before continuing. "I've just completed the Divine Body Forging Spell. Given your pace, we can begin your lessons this afternoon. You should master it in a month, after which I'll find more Body Cultivator texts suited to your training."

Wang Tian's internal flow of spiritual energy paused briefly but swiftly resumed. The Divine Body Forging Spell—an ancient Immortal Book—had taken Jiang Su a mere fifteen minutes to learn. Such talent was astounding; others might spend years, even centuries, without fully mastering it. Wang Tian wondered if he had misunderstood, but Jiang Su's earnest demeanor suggested otherwise. This was Jiang Su's vote of confidence: he believed Wang Tian could learn it all in a month. Determined, Wang Tian knew he had to rise to the challenge.

The energy around Wang Tian shifted as spiritual energy surged into him. Meanwhile, the influx into Jiang Su's body showed no signs of abating, growing even stronger. Jiang Su mused whether they might deplete Sword Wing Peak of its spiritual energy altogether.

As he was about to head back to his room to delve into the Medical Cultivator manuals Wen Shu had given him the day before, a spirit breath reached Sword Wing Peak.

He witnessed the return of Elder Chiu Yue.

Upon Elder Chiu Yue's arrival at Sword Wing Peak, he immediately detected a shift in the spiritual energy of the place.

He saw Wang Tian, deep in meditation, his body enveloped in spiritual energy, and felt a twinge of surprise. But it didn't take long for him to realize that Jiang Su had been mentoring Wang Tian.

With a flicker of spiritual force, Elder Chiu Yue gently placed a few books beside Wang Tian.

Wang Tian, engrossed in the absorption of the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, remained oblivious to Elder Chiu Yue's presence.

Jiang Su, catching sight of the book titles, let out a knowing smile. It appeared Elder Chiu Yue had sought out texts specifically tailored for Body Cultivators. He had previously doubted Elder Chiu Yue's interest in Wang Tian's progress.

"Disciple, come with me to your room. I have something wonderful to show you."

Elder Chiu Yue led Jiang Su to the house on the left.

They had barely settled in when Elder Chiu Yue started to vent: "That Wen Shu, utterly clueless in his duties, always sneaking into people's rooms at night. Had you not requested I seek out Yang Shuang, I'd have given Wen Shu a piece of my mind."

Jiang Su was taken aback by these words. He had assumed Wen Shu and Elder Chiu Yue were on good terms. Elder Chiu Yue, at his age, would only speak so candidly if they were truly close friends.

Had he been mistaken? Was Wen Shu not affiliated with Nebula Pavilion after all?

It seemed Wen Shu had only departed from the First Immortal Sect for the Devil Sect when turmoil struck the Immortal Domain.

The thought of such a formidable Medical Cultivator joining the Devil Domain was troubling; it was like handing an extra blade to an adversary. Surely, his wife must be aware of the implications.

Maybe he was reading too much into it.

"So, the Body Cultivator manuals you just gave to Wang Tian, they were all from Senior Yang Shuang?"

"Yes, Yang Shuang is aware that Wang Tian is determined to stay with us. He admires the boy's potential, but he wants Wang Tian to endure some hardship first. The texts he provided are notoriously challenging to master."

Jiang Su found himself at a loss for words. It seemed that the Devil Domain's experts had a penchant for gifting books to their disciples. Just yesterday, Wen Shu had handed him a stack of particularly abstruse tomes to decipher on his own.

"Enough about that. I've brought a whole array of treasures. Just a second!" Elder Chiu Yue said, extracting a large burlap sack from his storage space. The sack twitched as if something inside was alive.

What sorts of oddities could be inside?

Upon opening the sack, a small creature leapt into his arms—it was Little Kylin.

When had it been captured?

"I snagged this little fellow on the stairs. Is it your pet?" Elder Chiu Yue inquired.

Jiang Su stroked Little Kylin's head and nodded in confirmation.

Elder Chiu Yue watched Little Kylin cuddle in Jiang Su's embrace and dismissed a fleeting thought. How could he have mistaken this creature for the fearsome Demonic Blood Kylin mentioned in ancient texts? Surely, he was wrong. The Demonic Blood Kylin was known to be one of the most savage ancient Demonic Beasts, yet this little one was utterly endearing.

"My student, here you have a top-quality Spirit Gathering Pill, the ancient sword scripture 'Holding Cloud,' and the Lower Realm's Essence Guarding Sword," Elder Chiu Yue said, laying out the treasures before Jiang Su.

"Store them in your storage space. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Master," Jiang Su replied, dutifully securing the items in his storage space.

Elder Chiu Yue, pleased with Jiang Su's compliance, continued, "Here are a few books. Master them within the month. Given your aptitude, I'll only need to clarify anything you don't grasp."

Jiang Su gazed at the Sword Tao scriptures and internally groaned. His reading list was already extensive, and he had a daily check-in to maintain.

He was convinced that this was the standard teaching method among the Devil Domain's mighty. In this world, only Wang Tian could rival his daily grind.

What would Wang Tian's reaction be upon seeing these books during his meditation? Both of them were in the same boat—a rather pitiful one at that.

"Also, take this to Su Wuyou and use the opportunity to visit your junior siblings," Elder Chiu Yue added, pulling out an item from the bottom of the sack. It was a stone—plain and somewhat unattractive to the eye.

What's this?

It was unlikely that his master would give Su Wuyou anything less than extraordinary. This had to be something special, something that would catch the eye of a Nascent Infant Stage Expert at the very least.

Yet, his interest was minimal. The items his master had just presented to him were treasures in their own right.

So, he accepted it. After offering another bow to Elder Chiu Yue, he casually deposited the little Kylin into his storage space.

But now wasn't the time for flashy sword-riding flight; it would draw too much attention.

Jiang Su descended from Sword Wing Peak, making his way to the Carefree Pavilion, where Su Wuyou resided.

Junior brothers and sisters?

Beyond his disciple, the Holy Maiden, Su Wuyou had taken on other male disciples.

This piqued his curiosity—what kind of male cultivator would be under Su Wuyou's tutelage?
