I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

After listening to Shen Lingyan's explanation, Li Hao finally understood.

"I see."

"So, does that mean we should start searching for treasures rich in the five elements?"

Shen Lingyan nodded, but felt increasingly puzzled.

This information, while not necessarily common knowledge, is readily available through various channels once one reaches a certain level of understanding.

Why does this senior seem to be hearing about this for the first time?

Could it be that something went wrong during the possession process, resulting in the loss of this part of the memory?

She didn't reveal these doubts, but instead said, "Senior, weren't there suitable pills among those you took?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are some, but not all. Only the fire-elemental pills are available. Where can we find the other four types?"

Shen Lingyan asked hesitantly, "Senior, are we about to enter the Fifth Tribulation Realm?"

Li Hao did not hide this from Li Hao, and he mobilized the spiritual power within his body, slightly revealing a bit of his aura.

Upon realizing this, Shen Lingyan gasped in shock.

In just ten days, he went from the initial stage of the Meridian Opening Realm to the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm?!

This is outrageous!

Even with the help of elixirs, it still takes time to digest their effects.

Shen Lingyan gave Li Hao a deep look, feeling that Li Hao was simply mysterious and powerful.

After spending these days together, she could guess that Li Hao must have some kind of method to replicate things, otherwise it would be impossible to explain where he got so many pills for the Song family.

This method can only be described as having reached an inconceivable level.

Fortunately, they are on the same side now.

She was thankful again that she had chickened out quickly back then.

Otherwise, being targeted by such a mysterious and powerful person, I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night.

Take a deep breath and temporarily suppress your thoughts.

Shen Lingyan then said, "If it's these treasures, I do have some information about them."

"The Tiannan Lei family's most treasured bamboo, the Azure Spirit Bamboo, contains extremely pure wood and water elemental spiritual energy."

Li Hao looked at her with slight surprise: "What, do you have a grudge against the Lei family?"

Shen Lingyan asked in surprise, "Why do you say that, Senior?"

Li Hao retorted, "If we have no grudge, why are you telling me this? Isn't this blatantly inviting me to go and rob you?"

That one sentence left Shen Lingyan speechless. After several seconds, she finally said, "It's not so much that we have a grudge, it's just... there's something from the past."

"There is an outer disciple in the sect named Lei Yuexin, who came from the Lei family."

"This child's meridians are almost completely blocked, making it virtually impossible for her to cultivate. She was abandoned by the Lei family and nearly starved to death. When an elder of the sect took pity on her during his travels, he brought her back to the sect."

"I originally intended for her to be a menial disciple, doing odd jobs within the sect, so she wouldn't go hungry. But this girl is ruthless; after joining the sect, she worked hard and managed to cultivate to the third level of the Spirit Tribulation Realm."

Everyone in this world can cultivate. So-called talent is actually just about the elasticity of the dantian and the blockage of the meridians.

A so-called genius like the original owner has an innately elastic dantian that is easy to expand; and naturally unobstructed meridians that allow for the absorption of spiritual energy and the circulation of spiritual power with almost no blockage.

It was precisely because of these two innate advantages that the original owner was able to reach the peak of the Spirit Tribulation at such a young age.

In contrast, Lei Yuexin's meridians were almost completely blocked, which meant that while a normal person could absorb and refine spiritual energy in an hour, she would need dozens or even hundreds of times longer.

In this situation, what good is it even if your dantian is excellent? The amount entering is too small, and your dantian simply cannot be filled.

Human lifespan is limited. In fact, it is not difficult to see from the key points of each realm that from the Body Tempering Realm to the Returning to Origin Realm, there are basically no insurmountable obstacles.

It just takes a lot of time.

But time is precisely the most precious thing.

Even though improving one's cultivation level may increase one's lifespan to some extent, it is still not enough to cope with the long period of cultivation.

Only those with significant innate advantages and abundant resources can achieve rapid advancement.

Only then can one, like Li Hao, cross the entire Qi Refining Realm in just ten days.

Ultimately, the level a person can reach in life is mostly determined from birth.

With meridians almost completely blocked, what good is it to reach the Spirit Tribulation Realm? In one's entire life, it will be difficult to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

Faced with such an outcome, why waste a lifetime on boring and tedious spiritual practice? Do something else, and you might live a more fulfilling life.

Li Hao clicked his tongue and said, "This kid is a bit stubborn. What's she after? Going back for revenge? She'll never have the chance to get revenge even if she trains her whole life."

Shen Lingyan said helplessly, "Who can argue with that? But no matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen."

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's call her over."

Shen Lingyan immediately took out a jade talisman and said a few words to the other end.

Before long, a woman dressed in a light blue long robe came running towards them.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Shen Lingyan nodded, but didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao sized her up before asking, "Lei Yuexin, what is your purpose in cultivating?"

Although Lei Yuexin didn't know why she was suddenly called over to ask this question, nor did she know who the man standing in front of her was, she didn't hide anything when she saw that the sect leader was right next to her.

"Of course, it's for revenge."

Li Hao then asked, "If one day your father and mother both fell into the water, and someone had to save them or they would drown, who would you save?"

Lei Yuexin lowered her gaze, her teeth clenched: "My mother died a long time ago."

Li Hao said, "That's why I said if you only need to answer my questions, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yue thought for a moment, then suppressed her anger and said, "Of course I'll save my mother first, then find something to completely knock my father down to prevent him from coming back up."

Li Hao then asked, "What if your father possessed an important treasure, one that concerned the lives of an entire nation? If he died, would it cause the deaths of that nation as well?"

Lei Yuexin still said, "Then I have to kill him too."

"Even if it means the death of an entire nation?"

"That's right! So what if that's the case? I'll bear all the hatred alone. Even if I'm killed in the future, I'll have already completed my revenge."

Hearing this, Li Hao patted Shen Lingyan on the shoulder: "Look at you, if you had her level of awareness, would the royal family still dare to act so arrogantly in front of you?"

Shen Lingyan felt helpless. Could she be the same as Lei Yuexin? After all, she was the sect leader, and she had to consider the consequences of everything she did.

Looking again, Li Hao had already helped Lei Yuexin up and said, "Damn, she's so filial. I love watching these revenge dramas."

"Come on, come with me for a stroll around the Lei family's place in Tiannan."
