Zu An composed himself. Since there was no way to rescue Xie Daoyun for the time being, he could only put this matter aside and focus on other urgent matters.
If he continues to wallow in regret and remorse, and the women he keeps by his side encounter danger again, he will be completely unprepared and can only watch helplessly as everything happens. That would be the most foolish thing to do.
He took stock of the various items he found in the treasure vault. Several important volumes of array formation manuals disappeared along with Xie Daoyun. However, Zu'an had already learned the "Secrets of Spatial Transformation" which was enough to complete the teleportation array back to the cultivation world. In some ways, it could even be modified to be far more sophisticated than Donar's array formation. Therefore, the loss of the array formation manuals in the treasure vault was not a big problem.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the array books in the treasure vault record the operation of the entire underground level, the defensive arrays, and so on. However, destruction is easier than construction. Although I don't understand the operating principle of the entire array, it is not difficult to destroy it.
Of course, all the places related to the dungeon formation are heavily guarded by the Demon Lord's troops, and outsiders cannot get close at all. We need to think of a way to get there.
Fortunately, Zaun already had a plan in mind...
Besides the classics on formations, there are also many classics on medicine and poisons, which is Ji Xiaoxi's area of expertise.
Zaun originally thought that he had the relevant knowledge in the "Baopu Zhenjing" and that learning these things using skill books should not consume much anger.
When he saw the number in the hundreds of millions, he was completely stunned: "Is there a mistake?!"
What a joke! I didn't need so much anger points to learn the heaven-defying ability "The Art of Myriad Life Transformations" before. How come learning medical skills and poison manuals requires so much?
The system did not respond to his question at all; instead, Mi Li's voice rang out: "Come to me, I'll tell you."
With a thought, Zu An's soul quickly entered a void. This was the space of the Tai'a Sword, which, in theory, only the sword spirit could enter. However, the two souls had long been bound together, so he could enter and exit very easily on ordinary days.
At this moment, Mi Li, dressed in a red dress, lay languidly on the large bed. Her graceful figure seemed to be blessed by the heavens, and her beauty was almost divine.
Mi Li rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful and aloof eyes seemingly open yet closed, radiating an astonishing charm.
Even with Zu An's current state of mind, he was momentarily stunned by the beauty, but he quickly regained his senses and secretly thought to himself, "Mi Li seems to really like this position. Isn't she afraid of developing scoliosis?"
"Are you talking badly about me?" Mi Li opened her eyes and stared at him with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled apologetically, "How could that be? I was just stunned by Master Sister's beauty."
A faint smile appeared on Mi Li's face, but she quickly suppressed it: "Hmph, you rascal, how can you use words like 'beautiful' to praise your master? You have no respect for your teacher at all."
“These are my true thoughts, and they just came out naturally. I hope Master and Sister will not be offended,” Zu An said solemnly.
Mi Li felt a little pleased, but tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth: "Why don't you call the Empress 'Master' anymore? Master is Master, don't call me 'Sister,' it's disrespectful."
Zu An sighed: "Now that things have come to this, I'm not stupid. What virtue or ability does that Ying Zheng have to marry you? Since you are not the real Empress of Qin, I naturally can no longer call you Empress. Otherwise, every time I call you Empress Master, it always has a strong sense of being a married woman, and I always feel that it is defiling my Master Sister."
Mi Li told him so many secrets that a Qin empress could not possibly know. Although she did not say it explicitly, one could sense that she was at a very high level back then.
Her identity is even more mysterious than that of the Emperor of Fengdu.
“Married woman flirtation?” Mi Li’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat out, “What nonsense is this? Besides, don’t you sometimes like to flirt with married women? You’ve ruined quite a few of the princesses in the capital, and now you even have Princess Wu outside.”
Zuan: "..."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Mi Li didn't want to continue the topic, so she coughed lightly:
"Forget it, I won't bother with your shortcomings. The reason you can't learn those medical and poison books is actually quite simple. Although humans are the most intelligent of all beings and have an unparalleled speed of cultivation, they are not bound by any kind of shackles. If you look back at all the amazing talents in history, is there anyone who is outstanding in every aspect?"
Zu'an was taken aback, but gradually he understood. For example, Zhuge Liang's wisdom was almost supernatural, but his martial prowess was extremely low. Lu Bu's martial prowess was the best in the world, but his intelligence seemed to be that of a mentally challenged person. Han Xin was a military genius, using all sorts of strategies to outwit the enemy on the battlefield, but he was as naive as a child when it came to politics...
Even in the world of cultivation, the old priest was exceptionally talented, with a talent no less than Zhao Hao's. However, because his studies were too diverse, he had dabbled in various fields, so in terms of cultivation and martial arts alone, he was far inferior to Zhao Hao.
There are far too many similar examples.
Seeing his expression, Mi Li smiled and said, "It seems you have understood. Human energy is limited. If you reach the pinnacle in one field, it is destined that it will be difficult to achieve the same excellence in other fields. Only the legendary gods can achieve this."
Zuan was somewhat puzzled: "But cultivators have abundant energy and incredibly powerful souls. They should have enough energy to learn other fields."
In their previous lives, ordinary people had mortal bodies and limited energy, but nowadays, cultivators can go for long periods without sleep without much problem, and their physical strength is almost like that of two different species.
Mi Li explained, “The things cultivators learn consume a great deal of energy, far beyond what ordinary people learn. In fact, the principles are the same. Since the birth of the universe, whether it is humans or other living beings, there is an invisible and intangible shackle in their souls, which means that you are destined not to reach higher levels in many fields.”
