Chapter 240: Golden Elixir, Su Changyu Returns To Connate
Su Changyu was a little surprised.
He wondered if he had heard the wrong thing.
‘Save me 500 years of hard cultivation?’
‘That’s a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?’
To be honest, Su Changyu thought it was just a type of elixir that would increase his cultivation level by the amount of progress he would make in decades of cultivation.
If it was such an elixir, it would indeed be pointless because it would just be depleting his potential instead.
However, it was different if it was by 500 years.
Having his potential depleted just to save a few decades of cultivation was a huge loss.
However, it was different if it could save him a few hundred years of cultivation. Besides, it was still unknown if he could cultivate for a few hundred years.
Su Changyu was tempted.
If that wouldn’t tempt him, nothing would.
‘Su Changyu, Su Changyu, you mustn’t let your habit act up again.’
While bearing with the agitation, Su Changyu repeatedly told himself not to let his bad habit act up.
“Changyu, what do you think?”
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up again.
She asked Su Changyu that question in a bid to see if he was willing to accept the gift.
“On the path of cultivation, you have to take things one step at a time.”
Su Changyu continued to speak.
“But since it’s your kind intentions, I shall not turn you down, Aunt.”
Su Changyu felt fortunate that his bad habit didn’t act up.
Su Changyu was in a pleasant mood.
It was a divine fruit that could save him 500 years of cultivation, and if he continued to pretend to be impressive, he would be better off dead.
After hearing Su Changyu’s answer, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were immediately overjoyed.
They were really worried that Su Changyu wouldn’t accept the gift.
“Changyu, if you want to consume this fruit, you have to prepare yourself well. Your uncle has already prepared the Spirit-Gathering Array for you and opened your apertures. You can’t consume it immediately, do you understand?”
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
She was scared that Su Changyu would consume the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit immediately, which would result in less-than-ideal effects.
It had to be combined with a corresponding array formation as well as some other spirit medicine. That would allow the effects of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit to be maximized.
“Got it.”
Su Changyu didn’t know much about such things. In his opinion, elixirs and pills were harmful to the body, because Wang Zhuoyu told him so.
Hence, Su Changyu didn’t have a good impression of the pills especially since they could enhance one’s cultivation.
Of course, if it could save him 500 years of cultivation, there wouldn’t be a huge problem.
At this moment, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but speak up.
“Changyu, when do you plan to consume the Divine Fruit?”
She asked.
Su Changyu answered, “The earlier the better. How about today?”
He obviously wished he could consume it today and leave sooner.
If the 500 years of cultivation could allow him to break through to the Golden Core realm, things would be different.
If he really reached the Golden Core realm, he would surely become the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Of course, Su Changyu wasn’t sure if he could break through to the Golden Core realm.
“Today?”
After getting Su Changyu’s answer, the two of them couldn’t help but look at each other.
Although they knew that Su Changyu was in a hurry, they didn’t expect him to be so hasty.
However, after thinking about it, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up, “I don’t think you can eat it today but you can do the first step.”
“The first step?”
“Are there many steps?”
Su Changyu was curious. ‘Isn’t it just eating a fruit? There are steps too?’
“Yes, a total of four steps are needed to maximize the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit.”
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty answered.
“Four steps are needed?”
Su Changyu was even more curious because four steps seemed like a huge hassle for him.
‘Why don’t I just consume it directly to save me the trouble?’
It would be worth it for 500 years worth of cultivation. A few decades more wouldn’t matter.
He really didn’t want to continue wasting his time there.
It made more sense to leave early.
At this moment, Su Changyu wanted to head back to the Great Xia Dynasty earlier to look for his biological father, Taishang Xuanji, and explain everything to him so as to sever all ties.
He wanted Taishang Xuanji to stop looking for him and giving him clothes every now and then. He wanted him to just give him everything in one go.
“Changyu, don’t be so impatient.”
“The Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit is borne once in a few thousand years and it will allow you to increase your cultivation progress by 500 years. Most importantly, it can give you a type of talent.”
“It might activate your talent. I think your aptitude in the Sword Dao is not bad. After you swallow the Divine Fruit, it might increase your aptitude.”
The empress comforted Su Changyu and told him not to panic.
As soon as she said that, Su Changyu immediately became energized.
‘Increase Sword Dao aptitude?’
‘Hey!’
‘Hey, Aunt, my Sword Dao talent is indeed very strong, but of course, if I can increase it further, I can accept it too.’
Su Changyu was indeed quite impatient but after hearing that his Sword Dao aptitude could be increased, he immediately perked up.
“Aunt, how many days would these four steps take?”
Su Changyu asked.
“It depends on your constitution.”
“The first of these four steps is sculpting the body, and I’ve already asked someone to prepare the supreme-grade Physical-Sculpting Pill that will help you to cleanse your body and return it to its Connate state.”
“If you have a good constitution, you can restore the Connate body in at most a day.”
“The second step is to gather spiritual energy. I’ve already asked your uncle to prepare the Connate Spirit Gathering Array for you. Once your constitution returns to the Connate state again, you will be able to absorb the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”
“The third step is reaching Nirvana. With Nirvana constitution, you will be able to activate your talent and even allow your Sword Dao talent to become stronger.”
“The last step is to swallow the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit. Once you swallow this Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit, you can save 500 years of hard cultivation and soar to greater heights. Changyu, there are indeed quite a few steps and they’re very time-consuming, but I’m doing it for your own good, don’t get impatient.”
The empress was afraid that Su Changyu would feel annoyed and thus was quite earnest in her explanation.
If these words were to get out, all cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty would probably stay silent and even Fang Li would cry and weep after seeing it.
Although the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was gentle and mild-mannered, the problem wasn’t that simple. If she gave the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty to someone else, it would make others furious.
Indeed, comparison was upsetting.
“I understand, thank you very much, Aunt.”
Su Changyu nodded and immediately afterwards, he couldn’t help but speak again.
“Let’s start tomorrow then, Aunt and Uncle.”
“It’s not that I’m not willing to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty, but if I don’t personally go over and finish this matter, I’ll have regrets in my heart. I won’t be able to cultivate smoothly then.”
Su Changyu found a random excuse, but the core reason was that he wanted to hurry up and be done with these things so that he could return and slack off in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He really didn’t want to run about as he felt that it would be more comfortable to stay in the sect where he didn’t have to worry about his food and shelter. He could also occasionally go down the mountain to buy some things and boast to his Junior Brothers in the sect.
Such days were really enjoyable.
If he went out, he would meet lots of people, and if he was lucky, the person would benefit him. But if he wasn’t, he might get injured and that wouldn’t be worth it at all.
“I get it, I understand. This is indeed an urgent matter.”
“Changyu, I’ll have them get prepared today and we can start at noon tomorrow.”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty nodded. Since his nephew was about to sever ties with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would definitely be overjoyed and support it.
If he wasn’t worried that Su Changyu would be compelled by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty after he went to the Great Xia Dynasty, he would have let him go there immediately.
He would thrash things out with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately.
If the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty dared to hinder him in any way, he would fall out with him and at most go to war. He wasn’t afraid of anything at all.
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Su Changyu thanked the emperor.
The latter didn’t say anything and immediately stood up to walk towards the main hall and ask someone to make arrangements for that matter.
Time passed bit by bit.
Just like that, it was late at night.
The Great Qian Dynasty was still brightly lit and the array formation masters had rushed over to set up the Connate Spirit Gathering Array.
It was all for the sake of Su Changyu.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had put in a lot of effort to issue orders and transfer 3,000 array formation masters from various states back to the Great Qian Dynasty Palace.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Heart Hall.
The 3,000 array formation masters were gathered there.
Everyone was carefully setting up the formations. One thousand people were in charge of engraving array patterns, a thousand were in charge of setting up array formations, and a thousand were in charge of the details.
“Everyone, listen up. His Majesty has issued orders for us to set up the array formations within six hours and then set up 3,000 Qi Nurturing Arrays, 3,000 Heart-Calming Arrays, 3,000 Small Spiritual Energy Gathering Arrays, 3,000 Qi and Blood Arrays, not a single one less. If you do well, His Majesty will reward you, but if anyone makes a mistake or delays the time, don’t blame the Great Qian Dynasty for being cold and harsh.”
The bright and clear voice sounded. It was the inspection commander who spoke loudly and told them to set up the array formations.
At the same time, his behavior naturally attracted the attention of many princes and princesses.
They were somewhat curious. After all, the transfer of 3,000 array formation masters to set up the array formation was indeed very exaggerated.
“The consumption of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit requires four steps, but there is no need to invite so many array formation masters.”
“The Crown Prince is really favored, huh? These array formation masters are all elites who are on par with Essence soul realm cultivators. Yet, all of them have been transferred here. The Crown Prince must be favored in Father’s heart.”
“Ah, being born earlier is better.”
Everyone discussed and their voices naturally attracted the attention of everyone.
The princes and princesses were all very envious.
At the same time,
In the Great Qian Dynasty’s Elixir Hall.
It was extremely ostentatious and luxurious. The hall was spacious and about several hundreds of meters tall with a violet-gold Golden Core cauldron hovering in the middle.
It was the pill furnace of the Great Qian Dynasty, which was also an immortal artifact that they were very proud of.
It was the very furnace that allowed the Great Qian Dynasty to prosper because it could allow semi non-poisonous pills to be produced in bulk, which only possessed 30% of the toxicity of ordinary pills.
However, a figure appeared at this moment.
It was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty who walked over. He pushed open the door of the great hall and slowly walked into it.
He then waved his hand, and in an instant, the lid of the furnace slowly rose into the air while a strange elixir that was emitting various rays of light appeared in his hand.
It was the Connate Body Sculpting pill that had 3,333 extremely precious medicinal herbs as the main materials. It also required 100,000 different precious medicinal herbs as the supportive herbs. It required a hundred years of refinement.
Once one swallowed the pill, they would be able to return to the Connate state.
For countless cultivators, returning to the Connate state was a good thing.
Looking at the elixir in his hand, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty waved his hand, and a terrifying spiritual energy once again emerged in the pill furnace.
A golden elixir then appeared in the sky.
It was surrounded by nine pills of different colors.
Seeing this scene, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but smile.
The Connate Body Sculpting Elixir would be produced once every 100 years, and basically, they were reserved for the Crown Prince or the royals.
However, this one was different because it was made with nearly ten times more medicinal herbs and an unknown number of heavenly treasures, as compared to ordinary ones.
It was a true elixir that required 1,888 years to refine. It could not only improve one’s constitution, it could also allow one to return to the Connate state and even make up for the flaws, forming an extraordinary constitution.
It was an ancestral rule that the elixir could only be used by the royals of the Great Qian Dynasty and specifically those who were talented.
Hence, for so many years, the elixir had been nurtured in the pill furnace where it absorbed the medicinal effects of other pills to allow it to become more radiant and incredible.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was now planning to take out this elixir and give it to Su Changyu.
However, at this moment, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty appeared in the palace.
She looked at the elixir with some surprise in her eyes.
“Your Majesty, do you really want to give this elixir to Changyu?”
The empress asked with some surprise.
The reason being, she was even clearer about the importance of this elixir.
Generally speaking, even the Crown Prince was not qualified to consume the elixir because it required more than 1,800 years to refine before being nurtured in the furnace for more than 3,000 years, which meant that this elixir was almost 5,000 years old.
They could only take it out of the furnace when a real talented person was born.
However, she didn’t expect that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would actually take out the elixir and give it to Su Changyu.
“Yes, after observing Changyu, I feel that he has some flaws which I think should be a result of someone’s deliberate doing when he got lost back then. Hence, his cultivation level is ordinary, but he’s a genius. How can he be only at the Qi Refinement realm?”
“I’ve thought about it. Even the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit cannot make up for the injuries Changyu suffered.”
“The only solution now is to use this elixir.”
“Changyu is my nephew and giving it to him does not violate the ancestral rule. You won’t stop me, right?”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
The latter shook her head.
“Your Majesty, why would I dare to stop you? I’m more than glad about this, but if we give this elixir to Changyu, I’m worried that someone might want to scheme against him.”
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty explained.
However, in the next moment, the voice of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty filled the air.
“Who would dare to do this!?!”
“Who would dare!?!”
