Atop the highest peak of Putuozong, amidst the shroud of clouds and mist, a magnificent palace looms. The main hall of the palace complex is spacious and bright, yet the atmosphere is somewhat solemn.
Su Rui and several others, dressed in finery, sat at attention in the center of the hall, their gaze fixed on the smiling young Taoist priest sitting on the mat across from them. Clearly, this seemingly young Taoist priest was of extraordinary stature, as their seats had been meticulously arranged in a fan-shaped formation, tightly surrounding the young Taoist priest in the center.
This person was none other than the current leader of the Putuo Sect—Master Jianglong! He possessed an unworldly presence, his brows radiating a transcendental aura. Master Jianglong first graciously inquired about Su Rui and his companions' recent gains from their visit to the Langya Immortal Residence. He then discussed Wu Qianqian with Su Rui and Shi Yi, discussed the cultivation methods of the Jiaolong Clan with Chi Jiao and Ao Ying, and even chatted with Guo Yiming about their past friendship as the Laoshan Sect's headmasters. It was clear that everyone present felt deeply cared for by Master Jianglong.
In the end, Master Jianglong generously extended a warm welcome to Su Rui and the others for visiting Putuo Sect, and earnestly hoped that they could visit often, especially hoping that Su Rui and the others could communicate and interact more with Wu Qianqian and the younger generation of disciples of Putuo Sect.
As for the extremely precious so-called "opportunity" Wu Qianqian had previously asked him for, Master Jianglong hadn't mentioned it a single word. And someone as clever as Su Rui naturally understood the underlying reasoning and wouldn't be foolish enough to ask about it.
After leaving the palace, Wu Qianqian stopped, looked back at Su Rui and the others behind her, and said softly, "You should follow the maid back to Xiaonantian Realm to rest first."
Su Rui nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then he watched Wu Qianqian turn around and walk into the hall again.
He secretly speculated that Wu Qianqian had returned this time to seek the so-called mysterious "opportunity" from Master Jianglong on their behalf. Su Rui didn't actually have high hopes for this "opportunity," after all, he had never considered gaining any benefits from the Putuo Sect. However, he worried that a direct refusal would hurt Wu Qianqian's good intentions, so he didn't refuse.
After returning to Xiaonantian Realm, Su Rui gently took out the anti-aging pill Wu Qianqian had given him and examined it carefully. The pill exuded a faint fragrance and was crystal clear, like a peerless treasure.
Originally, Su Rui had planned to continue refining pills, hoping to create his first Rejuvenating Pill. However, after thinking for a moment, he decided to give up the idea for now. After all, he had more important things to do this time.
With a hint of anticipation and hesitation, Su Rui swallowed the Rejuvenating Pill without hesitation. The pill slid down his throat into his stomach, instantly transforming into a warm current that spread outward. Su Rui immediately felt as if a layer of gauze had been added to his body, but it seemed to be just an illusion.
He quietly felt the changes in his body, trying to detect any subtle abnormalities. After a while, apart from the vague feeling of restraint, there was no other obvious discomfort. Su Rui felt relieved and began to try to mobilize his true energy to check if it was affected. After some testing, he was sure that the anti-aging pill had not caused any substantial restraint on him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, Su Rui had hoped to personally try this elixir to see if he could find the reason for his own failure. But now it seemed that this path was a dead end. He sighed helplessly and turned his attention to another matter—the heavily armored automaton he hadn't studied for a long time.
After some hard work, the body of this heavily armored automaton was nearly complete. Tall and imposing, clad in thick armor, it exuded a frightening aura. However, the only problem currently troubling Su Rui was how to perfectly fit the ancient poisonous flame core to the body.
The imprisoned Ancient Poison Flame had actually long been the core of a secret refining technique by the Zhushan Sect. However, the Ancient Poison Flame's power was far too potent. If it were placed directly inside a heavy armored robot and used as its core to activate it, it could easily incinerate the entire robot into a worthless pile of scrap metal in the blink of an eye. Therefore, how could one effectively contain the Ancient Poison Flame's terrifying firepower? This undoubtedly posed a tremendous challenge and headache for Su Rui.
However, after he obtained the remarkable book "Five Elements Escape Technique," he finally found a solution to this long-standing problem—integrating the Five Elements' energy into the Primordial Poison Flame's restrictions, cleverly leveraging the mysterious interplay of the Five Elements to effectively suppress the flames' fierce blaze. Simultaneously, this would also enhance the Heavy Armor Robot's magical attack power related to the four elements of "metal, wood, water, and earth." This solution killed two birds with one stone.
Based on this idea, Su Rui first ordered Xiaotu to activate the deduction formation. In this powerful and mysterious formation, he carefully considered and perfected every detail to ensure that everything was as perfect as possible.
After a long period of effort and repeated verification, Su Rui was quite satisfied with the results - the success rate was as high as 70% to 80%! So, he took out the precious ore that sealed the ancient poisonous flame without hesitation.
Then, following the ancient secrets of the Five Elements Escape Technique, Su Rui focused intently on carving a simple yet intricate Five Elements interplay into the ore's surface. As his fingertips danced, minute incisions gradually appeared on the ore.
