77: I think you're just trying to bully your master!

Ye You led Su Lin through layers of Formations, finally entering a massive natural cave.

The Spiritual Qi within the cave was dense, and precious Ores and Spiritual Plants, rare outside, lay scattered around.

Su Lin's gaze swept over the area and immediately discerned the profound layout of the place.

"Oh? This is actually a natural Spirit Gathering Formation, and it's been Acquiredly modified, with protective and concealing Formations embedded within it."

"No wonder this outwardly ordinary place has such dense Spiritual Qi."

Hearing the praise, Ye You was extremely pleased.

"Revered Master saw through it with just one glance? It took me more than ten years to fully control the Formation nodes here."

She said, looking at Su Lin, "Speaking of which, if Revered Master hadn't taught me so well back then, I wouldn't have discovered this place."

Su Lin smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cave's veins.

"The layout is quite exquisite, and the spirit-gathering effect is excellent."

"However, if you transfer three layers of Spiritual Qi from the Xun position to the Kan position, the Formation flow would be smoother, and the Spiritual Qi circulation here would be even more unobstructed."

"Not bad, your Formation attainments are already much higher than little Qingxue's."

When Ye You heard Revered Master praise her as being better than Mu Qingxue, she was so happy her tail almost wagged.

The pride in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"That's natural! Little Qingxue, that ice-faced girl, only knows how to Cultivate all day; how would she understand these intricate Formations?"

Although she said that, her actions showed no trace of slackening.

She followed Su Lin's guidance, carefully manipulating the Spiritual Qi at the core of the Formation.

She slowly guided the three layers of Spiritual Qi from the Xun position to the Kan node.

Buzz!

A faint resonance sounded.

The Spiritual Qi flow throughout the entire massive cave instantly changed.

The originally dense Spiritual Qi now seemed to come alive.

They flowed faster and were purer.

The Spiritual Qi concentration within the cave increased by a full thirty percent!

Ye You felt this astonishing change, and her gaze towards Su Lin held a hint of fanaticism and shock.

So powerful!

She hadn't expected that Revered Master's casual guidance could improve the Formation's effect so much.

Revered Master was indeed still the omnipotent Revered Master.

"Revered Master, please wait for me here."

Ye You was in an unprecedentedly good mood.

She walked to a stone wall at the deepest part of the cave and formed a hand seal.

A spiritual light struck the stone wall.

The stone wall silently slid open to both sides, revealing a true cave entrance.

The moment the cave entrance appeared, an unimaginable torrent of Spiritual Qi gushed out.

This Spiritual Qi did not originate from the cave itself.

It was purely emitted by the mountain of rare treasures accumulated within the cave.

Su Lin stepped inside.

The sight before him was enough to drive any cultivator mad.

There were no delicate shelves, no categorized treasure chests here.

Everything was piled up in the most primitive and crude manner.

To his left, there was a small mountain entirely made of Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Each one was pure and flawless, shimmering with spiritual light that made one's eyes ache.

To his right, there were mountains of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Iron, Star Gold, and Deep Sea Sinking Silver.

These divine Artifact Refining Materials, which could cause a bloodbath for a single piece outside, were here discarded like ordinary stones.

Further away, there was a medicinal field.

Rare Spiritual Plants from the outside world grew wildly here like weeds.

Next to it was a patch of Blood Dragon Fruits, their fruits a vibrant red, exuding a powerful Qi and blood force.

It seemed that his Fourth Disciple's stash was not much less than his Sixth Disciple Gu Qiuyue's.

However, what he needed now was not about how high the grade was, but whether it was suitable for his condition.

He walked leisurely through the medicinal field.

"Purple-Veined Dragon Emperor Ginseng, good vintage, but unfortunately too fiery."

"Heaven Heart Lotus, can calm the mind and focus the spirit, but its medicinal properties are too mild."

He commented on each one, as if listing his family treasures.

Ye You followed behind, her eyes shining with wonder.

These were all treasures she had collected over the years, many of which she couldn't even name herself.

Yet, Revered Master could identify their Origin and medicinal properties with just a glance.

Finally, Su Lin stopped before an inconspicuous small gray plant.

"Soul Forging Grass."

He then walked to the other side, picking up a fist-sized, ordinary black stone from a pile of Ores.

"Spirit Suppressing Stone."

Lastly, he came to a pond, its water clear, with a blue pearl the size of a Dragon's eye resting at the bottom.

"Moon Bright Pearl."

He only took these three items.

Ye You was somewhat puzzled.

"Revered Master, you're only taking these?"

"The medicinal power of the other treasures is too overbearing and not suitable for Revered Master's current condition."

Su Lin explained calmly.

"Soul Forging Grass can temper the Divine Soul."

"Spirit Suppressing Stone can stabilize the Nascent Soul."

"Moon Bright Pearl, with its mild medicinal properties, can harmonize the medicinal power."

"These three items are enough to refine a Solidifying Origin Breaking Barrier Pill, allowing me to digest the medicinal power within my body and break through the Late Nascent Soul Stage Bottleneck in one go."

"Then I will refine the Medicinal Pill for Revered Master!"

As her words fell, a wisp of Origin Demonic Flame ignited from her palm out of thin air.

The three spiritual items in Su Lin's hand were immediately pulled by an invisible force, flying directly into the flame.

The Demonic Flame burned silently, yet Ye You perfectly controlled it within the small space of her palm.

In just a few breaths, the flame suddenly retracted.

A perfectly round Medicinal Pill quietly floated above her palm.

A Three-Revolutions Golden Core, the best of the High Grade.

Refining such a Medicinal Pill was, of course, effortless for the current Ye You.

"Revered Master, please use it." Ye You presented the Medicinal Pill to Su Lin as if offering a treasure.

Su Lin, however, did not immediately take it, but shook his head.

"No."

"Why?" Ye You was startled.

"The medicinal power of the medicated meal you refined for me earlier is still accumulated within my body and has not been fully digested."

Su Lin explained, "If I take this Medicinal Pill now, the two medicinal powers will conflict, which would instead harm my Cultivation."

Hearing Su Lin's words, Ye You tilted her head slightly.

There was a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, which immediately turned into ecstasy.

"So that's how it is."

"Revered Master is afraid of medicinal power conflict, that the body is too weak to be nourished."

"That makes it a bit difficult..."

Ye You stroked her chin, feigning a troubled expression.

But the eagerness in the depths of her eyes, however, could not be hidden.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a brilliant idea.

"Revered Master, I know a way!"

Her tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh?" Su Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

"Revered Master used to tell us that cultivating in isolation is a great taboo."

"The best way to improve Cultivation is always through battle!"

"So, I'll fight with you."

"This will also help you consume the medicinal power faster."

Ye You looked at Su Lin with a beaming smile.

Her smile carried a hint of mischief.

"I see you just want to bully your Revered Master!" Su Lin saw through her thoughts at a glance.

This Rebellious Disciple clearly wanted an excuse to legitimately "discipline" him.

"So what?"

Not only did Ye You not deny it, but she puffed out her chest righteously.

She took a step forward, extended her index finger, and lightly hooked Su Lin's chin.

"Being able to bully Revered Master and help Revered Master improve his Cultivation, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
