"Young Master came to Yunzhou... for Miss Mu! His feelings for Miss are as clear as day! Miss left the sect, and Young Master was worried about her safety, which is why he sent his subordinates to follow her!"
Mu Shuangshuang showed no surprise at this answer, but her smile became even more enigmatic.
"You're wasting my time like this... that's not good..."
"Miss, please see the truth! I would never dare to lie, I..."
The next moment, a white shadow flashed, the man's words froze on his lips, and his body, which was lying on the ground, instantly froze!
As if under some kind of spell that had frozen them in place, the atmosphere in the entire room froze at that moment.
"thump!"
Immediately afterwards, the man collapsed to the ground, his body stiffening.
Looking at it from the side, one can see a terrifying scorpion tail nearly three meters long emerging from the white shadow.
The scorpion's tail was a bright silver color, extending segment by segment, gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the candlelight, while the hook-like stinger at the end of the tail rested on the man's back.
The injection was administered so quickly that the man collapsed from the poison in the blink of an eye. Even though he possessed the cultivation level of the Soul Condensation Realm, he had no time to react.
The scorpion's tail only lingered behind the man for a moment before slowly retracting and finally disappearing completely beneath the girl's dark skirt.
Looking at the man again, he was not dead, but his face was blank, his pupils were dilated, and he had lost all his vitality, lying on the ground stiffly like a puppet.
Mu Shuangshuang licked her lips, suppressing the flush of excitement rising on her face. After a moment, her tone became extremely indifferent: "Tell me, what exactly is Teng Kui's purpose in coming to Yunzhou?"
"The young master only told me to follow the young lady, and didn't tell me anything else..."
Strangely, although the man had lost consciousness, he was still able to answer questions.
The girl frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.
She raised her right hand, and a blush was slowly fading from her originally fair skin.
After paying such a high price, all we got in return was an "I don't know"?
"Where is Teng Kui now? Who's with him?"
"Young Master has already traveled to the Beast Dynasty in the south, accompanied by Elder Poison Bone..."
"The Beast Dynasty? Even that old bastard Poison Bone has been mobilized, could it be..."
Mu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, her tone chilling: "Tsk tsk tsk! Good brother, you really haven't given up on your sister... Since you like me so much, then one day, I'll let you taste the effects of this Illusionary Tail Needle..."
...
"What? Sister Li'er means that the wood element power here cannot be cultivated?" Shen Yunhao's eyes widened from underground.
"It's not that I can't cultivate, but my elemental power is insufficient... which will greatly reduce my cultivation speed..."
Zhu Li explained, "Although this place has a considerable amount of wood element, all of which comes from the Ancient Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits above, if someone is extremely compatible with the wood element, they could probably absorb the wood element power in about a year by cultivating here. But if it's you... I predict it might take three years!"
Three years?
Shen Yunhao was taken aback.
Having broken through to the Bronze Skin Realm in just three months with the help of the Vast Ocean Heart, he was quite taken aback when he suddenly heard about "three years".
Keep in mind that three years is enough time for the legendary Emperor Yan to rise from the third stage of Dou Qi to a level where he can stand shoulder to shoulder with a certain celestial beauty...
As for himself, he had only improved by half on the path from the Copper Skin Realm to the Iron Bone Realm.
Seeing his reaction, Zhu Li sighed.
Her earlier fears came true; the rapid pace of cultivation in the early stages was not a good thing for mortals who had suddenly come into contact with cultivation.
An unstable foundation can be remedied through other means.
However, once this disdain for cultivation arises, and one loses patience in the cultivation process, it will be a fatal blow to one's future cultivation path.
Ordinary cultivators without talent or resources would have to put in tremendous effort and rely on a certain amount of luck to gather the power of the five elements to improve their physical strength.
There aren't that many geniuses in the world.
And those geniuses who are worthy of the sect's full support and resources are extremely rare.
However, just as Zhu Li was about to impart some more cultivation techniques, Shen Yunhao suddenly smiled and said, "Three years is fine, it's better than nothing... If I hadn't met Sister Li'er, I'm guessing I'd still be a mortal. Now that we've received such immense fortune, what is there to be dissatisfied with..."
"..."
Hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in Zhuli's eyes.
As expected of her little Yunhao, he has never disappointed her in terms of cultivation comprehension.
but……
"Yun Hao, I am very pleased that you have this awareness, but there is one thing you must know... The path of cultivation is inherently an act of defying fate and changing destiny. If you do not fight against the heavens, you will only be rowing against the current, and if you do not advance, you will fall behind!"
"In spiritual practice, one must not be greedy, yet one cannot help but be greedy!"
"Even the geniuses in those super sects have to fight tooth and nail for cultivation resources! Besides, you don't cultivate in a sect, so you already have fewer opportunities. If you don't go for it now, when will you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao suddenly realized what was going on.
"I see!"
"???" Zhuli blinked: "What do you know?"
"I'm going to run to the Ancient Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits and secretly absorb the power of the wood element! That way, my cultivation speed will definitely increase exponentially... Ouch! My head's gone..."
Zhu Li's merciless tail-spin finally calmed Shen Yunhao's restless heart.
