Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

"Open the store."

Light curtain switching.

A dazzling array of products appeared, categorized into different sections:

[Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers], [Magic Treasures and Divine Weapons], [Essence and Talismans], [Rare and Precious Materials], [Special Items], [Intelligence and Information]...

Prices range from tens of points to tens of thousands of points.

Su Yunbai first looked at the category of [Pills and Talismans].

Healing, cultivation, support...

Search for "healing elixir" and list prices from low to high.

Refresh the list.

The cheapest is "Rejuvenation Pill," which costs 100 points per bottle and can cure common internal and external injuries.

The most expensive is the "Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill," which costs 50000 points and is said to be able to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. It is effective for all beings below the level of a saint.

Su Yunbai doesn't need anything so expensive right now.

He continued browsing.

Soon, his gaze settled on an item:

【Life-Creating Elixir】

Price: 8000 points

Efficacy: Heals deficiencies in the body's fundamental energy, strengthens the foundation, and has remarkable effects on those at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level and below; the effect is halved for Quasi-Saints.

Inventory: 3

Eight thousand points.

not cheap.

However, neither Su Daji nor Jiang Xiaowu had yet become immortals, so this elixir was sufficient for them to deal with most injuries.

Su Yunbai did not hesitate.

"Exchange one."

[Ding! 8000 Intimacy Points consumed to exchange for 1 'Life-Creating Pill'!]

[Current intimacy level: 21425 points.]

A pill, entirely emerald green and radiating abundant vitality, appeared in the system space.

Su Yunbai continued browsing.

His attacks now rely on "Entwined Love Threads," his defense on the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique's physical body, and his control on the "Law of Love."

What's missing?

It's about speed.

It is the ability to escape or pursue at crucial moments.

He clicked on the "Supernatural Powers and Techniques" category.

Search for "遁法" (dùnfǎ).

List pops up:

[Complete Guide to Five Elements Escape Techniques]: 5000 points (includes basic escape techniques of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth)

[Wind and Thunder Escape Technique]: 12000 points (Utilizes the power of wind and thunder, extremely fast speed)

[The Golden Light Technique Across the Earth (Fragment)]: 30000 points (Secret transmission of the Chan Sect, covering a thousand miles in an instant)

【A World in the Air (Beginner's Guide)】: 50000 points (involves spatial laws; at its peak, it can shrink the earth to an inch)

Su Yunbai frowned.

The Golden Light Method requires 30,000 copies, and it's still an incomplete version.

Even though it's close at hand, it's incredibly expensive; 50,000 points is just the beginning.

I can't afford it.

He looked at the "Wind and Thunder Escape Technique".

Twelve thousand, good speed, high cost performance.

But... he had a better option.

"System, I remember seeing a technique called 'Love Thread Escape' when I was browsing before?"

[Ding! Searching...]

[Found: Love Thread Escape Technique (Exclusive)]

Price: 15000 points

Description: Using the thread of affection as a guide, it senses and binds to the location of the Daoist partner, allowing instantaneous teleportation to the partner's side (with the partner's consent required). The maximum distance depends on cultivation level. Currently, the number of Daoist partners that can be bound is 3/3.

Note: This is an exclusive divine ability, available only to the host for exchange, and requires the consumption of the source of the Law of Emotion to activate.

Su Yunbai's eyes lit up.

That escape technique is truly amazing!

Not only is it fast, but more importantly, it can directly teleport to your Daoist partner's side.

That's equivalent to having three more teleportation points available at any time.

Moreover, it aligns with the laws of emotion, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

"exchange."

[Ding! 15000 Intimacy Points have been consumed to exchange for the 'Love Thread Escape Technique'!]

[Current intimacy level: 6425 points.]

A flood of insights about escape techniques came to mind.

Guided by emotion, and guided by silk.

Transcending space, arriving in an instant.

Su Yunbai closed his eyes and digested the information for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, a flash of understanding appeared in them.

This escape technique has been successfully completed.

There are still a little over six thousand left.

He thought for a moment and then clicked on the [Intelligence Information] category.

The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, and intelligence is of paramount importance.

The list shows:

[Movement of the Remnants of the North Sea Demon Clan]: 500 points

[Recent Personnel Changes in Xiqi]: 800 points

[Secrets of the Chaoge Harem]: 1200 points

[Recent unusual activity at Nuwa Palace]: 3000 points

[Analysis of the Sage's Attitude (Current Stage)]: Starting from 5000 points

Su Yunbai's gaze fell on the last item.

The attitude of a sage.

This is what he most wants to know right now.

But starting at 5,000 points... is too expensive.

Moreover, the analysis may not be accurate.

He then turned his gaze to "Recent Personnel Changes in Xiqi".

Eight hundred points, not expensive.

"exchange."

[Ding! Consumed 800 Intimacy Points to exchange for information on "Recent Personnel Changes in Xiqi"!]

[Current intimacy level: 5625 points.]

A piece of information flooded my mind:

Xiqi:

1. Ji Chang had secretly contacted the feudal lords from all directions and was preparing to establish the "Zhou" dynasty.

2. Jiang Ziya had arrived in Xiqi and was appointed Prime Minister by Ji Chang, who took charge of military and political affairs.

3. Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, several have been secretly paying attention to Xiqi.

4. Nangong Shi, San Yisheng, and other civil and military officials have taken their positions.

5. Bo Yikao is still a hostage in Chaoge, but Ji Chang has begun preparations to exchange him for his eldest son.

Su Yunbai processed this information.

It was pretty much as he expected.

Jiang Ziya is in position, and the war machine of Xiqi is about to start.

He then looked at the "Recent Strange Events at Nuwa Palace".

Three thousand points.

I gritted my teeth and exchanged it.

[Ding! 3000 Intimacy Points consumed!]

[Current intimacy level: 2625 points.]

Information influx:

Nuwa Palace:

1. After Nuwa lowered the demon-summoning banner, she no longer directly interfered with the human world.

2. However, the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb (the nine-tailed fox is dead, and the remaining jade pipa spirit and nine-headed pheasant spirit) have received Nuwa's decree and are looking for an opportunity to sneak into Chaoge.

3. Nuwa has already taken notice of "Su Yunbai", but the reason is unknown.

4. Nuwa Palace has recently received mysterious visitors, suspected to be from the West.

Su Yunbai felt a chill run down his spine.

Did Nuwa take notice of him?

Was it because he killed the nine-tailed fox, or because of the "Human Gods List"?

Also, how did Western religions get involved so quickly?

Although the intelligence was brief, the information it revealed was very important.

With over two thousand points remaining, Su Yunbai did not exchange any more.

Keep for future use.

The online store is closed.

He got up and walked to the window.

It was nearly noon.

I should go see my adoptive father, Su Hu.

And Daji and Xiaowu also need to be properly taken care of.

Bixiao is already bound, her cultivation is about to break through, she has plenty of intimacy points, and she has intelligence in hand.

Next-

It's time to go to Chaoge.

Let's play a good game of chess with that "fellow townsman" King Zhou.

Su Yunbai changed into a clean robe.

He pushed open the door and went out.

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard.

Su Hu was instructing his personal guards on drills at the training ground.

He stopped what he was doing when he saw Su Yunbai approaching.

"Yunbai, how are your injuries?" Su Hu asked with concern.

"He's fine now," Su Yunbai said with a smile. "I'm sorry to have worried Father."

Su Hu carefully examined him and, seeing that his breathing was steady and his complexion was rosy, he was relieved.

"That fairy Bixiao..."

"She has returned to her sect and will come again in a few days," Su Yunbai said.

Su Hu nodded without asking any further questions.

He could tell that Bixiao's relationship with her son was unusual.

But his son is grown up and has his own ideas, so he won't interfere.

"Father," Su Yunbai said solemnly, "I plan to set off for Chaoge soon."

Su Hu was taken aback: "So urgent?"

"The situation in Chaoge is constantly changing," Su Yunbai said. "King Zhou needs me, and I also need Chaoge as my stage."
