"You were looking for me?"
Gu Anlei leaned against the doorway, looking slightly tired, and asked.
"You've been working non-stop for two days, are you feeling very tired?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.
Gu Anlei slammed the hatch shut, then slumped into her seat and sighed, "What do you think? I haven't had a break since you got injured. First, I took care of you, then I went to buy herbs and prepare medicines. After we were bullied, you took me to get revenge! After we got revenge, we went to the trading market, then the Holy Spirit Clan attacked, and after fighting the Holy Spirit Clan, we ran into the Beast Clan. I haven't had a break in two days!"
"You probably didn't experience the two months before the start of the Apocalypse Era, did you?" Jiang Yuan asked with a touch of emotion.
"Yes, I was only fifteen years old at that time. I was lucky because my family lived in Suzhou, and the safe zone happened to be located in Suzhou, so I had a very peaceful period of time!" Gu Anlei recalled, resting her head on her arm.
"Actually, that was when the pace was really fast. Most people were racing against death, and those who couldn't keep up died instantly." Jiang Yuan shook his head unconsciously as he spoke. Back then, entire cities on Earth were dying. There was no peace like there is now.
"Is someone going to be my motivational speaker?" Gu Anlei asked listlessly, resting her chin on her hand.
Jiang Yuan chuckled and said calmly, "We've gone off-topic. Actually, I came here to teach you the basics of artistic conception, and to settle your cultivation methods and skills first!"
"You'll teach me?" Gu Anlei looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously. He was only at the second stage of the True Spirit Realm, while she had already broken through to the first stage of the True Spirit Realm after swallowing the snake gall that condensed the essence of the giant snake. There wasn't much difference between the two.
"What, do you doubt my abilities?" Jiang Yuan looked at Gu Anlei leisurely.
"Not exactly!" Gu Anlei shook her head and said, "Then how do you plan to teach me?"
Jiang Yuan looked Gu Anlei up and down, then calmly said, "Of course, we'll start from the beginning!"
"You don't really want to train me to be a saint's disciple, do you?" Gu Anlei suddenly remembered something Jiang Yuan had said casually before. Could he be serious?
"What, is there a problem?" Jiang Yuan sat up from his chair, his gaze falling on Hanyang Lake diagonally below the warship, and said, "This matter will cause a great stir. The Sage is the most likely candidate to appear in the freshman assessment, and if you perform well enough, you have a very high probability of becoming a Sage's disciple."
“But I…” Gu Anlei hesitated. She was used to an ordinary life, and the thought of suddenly becoming a disciple of a saint felt unreal.
"To become a genius who surpasses ten thousand others, one must possess extraordinary cultivation talent, top-notch combat skills, and an unwavering belief in becoming a strong person," Jiang Yuan said.
After listening, Gu Anlei said with little confidence, "These conditions don't seem to have much to do with me, do they?"
"So, you must strive to move in the direction I've described and try to become a top genius by the end of this freshman assessment!" Jiang Yuan spoke as if it were a trivial matter, completely disregarding Gu Anlei's exasperated expression.
"Why don't you go yourself? I have to go!" Gu Anlei complained.
"Do you think I don't want to? This saint is a woman, and she only accepts women as disciples!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"Gender reassignment surgery is very advanced now, it's painless..."
Gu Anlei was about to speak when she met Jiang Yuan's murderous gaze, so she had no choice but to shut her mouth.
"These are the cores I recently obtained, including seven crystal diamond cores. I hope you will make good use of them and develop a cultivation technique and skills that suit you!" Jiang Yuan shook his storage ring, and hundreds of cores of various colors clattered out, with one crystal diamond core of the Heavenly Spirit Realm being the most dazzling.
"Give them all to me?" Gu Anlei stared at the cores on the ground as if she had seen a ghost. She hadn't dealt with many cores, but she was still very clear about the market. The cores that Jiang Yuan had dumped were worth no less than 100 million, after all, there were even Heavenly Spirit Realm cores among them.
“According to the usual practice of opening the core, there is a high probability that the core product will contain a treasure that matches the attributes of the person opening it. So I’m giving you this opportunity. Don’t bother cultivating those lousy techniques and skills, or you’ll have to start all over again when you reach the True Spirit Realm!” Jiang Yuan reminded him.
Gu Anlei's cultivation techniques and skills are all at the current level, which means they are only good for emergencies. They are definitely not suitable for long-term use. Moreover, the combat power that can be exerted by the cultivation techniques and skills used in the transition is only average. They cannot compare with those who have studied the same cultivation techniques and skills at various levels.
"What if it doesn't come out?" Gu Anlei turned her head to wait for Jiang Yuan's answer.
"If it doesn't open, I'll go and try again! It'll definitely open eventually!" Jiang Yuan was very confident.
"But why did you make me a disciple of a saint?" Gu Anlei had always been curious about the answer, but she never dared to ask.
After listening, Jiang Yuan remained silent for a while. After careful consideration, he decided to tell part of the truth: "Save one person!"
"Save someone? Do you have any friends who have been captured by the saint?" Gu Anlei asked curiously.
"Oh well, just don't ask. The more you know, the worse it will be for you. Just remember to hide everything from me in front of the Sage!" Jiang Yuan instructed.
"There's no problem with that. Your identity isn't supposed to be revealed anyway, so I'm not deliberately hiding it!" Gu Anlei reassured herself.
"Alright, go ahead and unlock the cores. Use whatever you find useful, and give me the rest!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he sat back down in the recovery chamber. With the help of the spirit core, he had already reached the bottleneck of the second stage of the True Spirit Realm. If he didn't break through now, when would he?
Seeing this, Gu Anlei helplessly went to activate the core. She sighed inwardly, "Before, I didn't have the conditions to become someone superior. Now that I have the conditions, my mindset has changed. Sure enough, someone like me who just drifts along is only suited to lying down!"
