If he had been taught the techniques earlier, his strength might now be no weaker than his senior brothers.

For some reason, the Celestial Master recalled the first time he saw Daosheng in the village thirteen years ago.

The Celestial Master's heart softened.

"That's it.

I allow you to explore two more traditions in addition to these.

But you must remember, you must not let it affect your mastery of these main traditions.

If you feel disturbed, stop immediately.

The Celestial Master's words immediately made Daosheng much happier, and he hurriedly kowtowed in agreement.

Watching Daosheng's excited departure, the Celestial Master shook his head and laughed along.

Daosheng is still young, so suffering a little is nothing to him.

When he encounters obstacles and finds it difficult to make any progress, he will naturally choose to abandon other inheritances.

As you excitedly walked out of the Celestial Master's Mansion, it suddenly dawned on you that you forgot to ask who that girl was.

However, the inheritance of the Five Thunder Technique and the lifting of restrictions on other cultivation methods have made you put this matter out of your mind.

You have begun a long journey of learning.

【…】

Su Chen stopped playing here, chose to leave the game running, and exited the game interface.

"The effect of 'seeing through fire with perfect insight' is quite good. Coupled with 'sword mind clarity,' we should be able to reach a decent level."

Su Chen stretched his body.

The initial progress was even faster than he had anticipated.

The lineages on Longhu Mountain can be divided into a dozen or so major lineages.

If broken down further, there are probably hundreds of different paths.

In just about seven years, all the necessary foundations for the inheritance and the initial preparations were laid.

The 20% increase in cultivation speed from "Insightful Insight" was far more exaggerated than Su Chen had imagined.

Moreover, doubling one's observational skills often has completely unexpected effects.

"Hua Jingyun and Jiang Li have both sent messages that the problem has been largely resolved."

"Once they get closer, we can discuss how to quickly improve the Feather Guard's combat effectiveness."

For the three of them, these unrest incidents in various regions could almost be crushed along the way.

But ultimately, this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Only by ensuring that the Feather Guards retain their suppressive function as before can we guarantee long-term stability in all regions.

"There's one last place we haven't visited yet, let's just meet there."

Jiuhe Town.

This is a small town near the southern border of the dynasty.

Because of the previous attack in Nanlang, there were many people fleeing to this town.

The membership is extremely complex and highly mobile.

This inconspicuous place, among the many small towns near the southern border, has attracted a large number of outsiders in a short period of time.

This makes the town particularly eye-catching along the entire route.

And all of this stemmed from a rumor.

Legend has it that on the night of the full moon, if you make a wish towards the stream that flows around the river, the sincere person will be chosen by the river god and their wish will be granted.

For three consecutive months, on every full moon night, at least three people were chosen and had their wishes granted.

"Sir, we have found out where those people are."

"speak."

"A total of twenty people were selected during these three months."

Eighteen of them received varying degrees of money.

According to them, that was exactly the number of wishes they made.

Of the remaining two, one is dead, and the other has fallen into madness.

Their wish seems to be to sacrifice themselves for the health of others.

Su Chen took the detailed information and glanced through it a few times.

The reconnaissance by the Feather Guards can only serve as a reference.

To find out the truth, you have to go there yourself.

Three months...

"Even earlier than the attack on Nanlang..."

If it weren't for this concentrated outbreak of evil and heretical forces, the incident in Jiuhe Town would probably have taken even longer to spread to the capital.

"interesting.

All the wildly imaginative numbers were avoided.

Those who truly achieve their wishes are actually those who only state numbers within their own acceptable limits.

If it's not a good deed, then it's probably the work of evil spirits.

And they don't help others for no reason.

They will definitely take something from those who make deals with these people.

Just like those two, one dead and one mentally challenged, their fate was the normal one.

Besides those who had already left, Su Chen contacted one by one the lucky ones who remained in the town after being "favored".

Just as he judged, this group of people lacked a lot of vitality.

The more vital energy one has, the more energetic one will be, and the longer one will live.

Once one's vital energy is depleted, one is easily susceptible to evil and wickedness, and many of them die young.

On the night of the full moon, those who take away more money also expend more of their energy.

"This deal isn't even a one-off transaction?"

That's incredibly greedy.

It seemed that all those who made wishes formed a connection with that stream.

Their vital energy is flowing continuously into the stream.

"Can't find it?"

Su Chen wanted to use the essence to follow the clues, but he didn't expect that once the essence touched the water's surface, it would instantly disintegrate into nothingness, leaving no trace.

"The full moon will be in two days. Since we can't find you, we'll just wait for you to come to us!"

Su Chen had Yu Wei prepare a small alchemy furnace for him and also obtained a lot of raw materials.

Since they're keeping an eye on the town for me, there's no need to be so nervous. I might as well continue experimenting with how to refine pills.

As for the game, Su Chen only checks the status each day to ensure that he can continue to progress.

Two days passed in a flash, and after Su Chen had wasted more than a dozen batches of pills, the night of the full moon was finally about to arrive.

"These rich people are really interesting."

Hiring someone to make a wish.

From daytime onwards, the town exudes an unusual vibrancy.

With those lucky ones before them, no one doubted the authenticity of the river god.

"Don't they understand that sincerity is essential?"

If you are not sincere, you will naturally be unable to establish a connection.

Not to mention having their vital energy drained.

The thing causing trouble in the shadows is probably not very powerful.

Otherwise, there would be no need for such mystical and supernatural acts, and for these victims to be "willing" to comply.

"One of them was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit."

The people in town have all seen this as a chance to make money.

The guards said softly that they had already secretly deployed their forces to control every part of the stream.

As soon as someone's wish comes true, it can be locked in immediately.

Then we'll know exactly how those people got their money.

"Aren't you going to make a wish?"

Su Chen glanced at Gray Feather beside him.

"us?

We have everything, what is there to wish for?

"And you can't bring the dead back to life."

"What if...it works?"

Gray Feather: ...

Su Chen gently patted the other person's shoulder.

"Everything in the world comes at a price, but the price of bringing the dead back to life is too high to pay."

"So, it's really possible to bring the dead back to life?"

"Hahaha, I had never heard of it more than a thousand years ago."
