I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

Isn't he an immortal? How can my sword clash with an immortal's sword?

Su Rui could tell at a glance that the sword radiating red light was no ordinary item; it was probably a celestial sword.

He had long been prepared to be beheaded with a single sword strike.

However, to her surprise, when the two swords clashed, she was simply sent flying.

The sword was undamaged, and the person was unharmed.

"What's wrong? Giving up already? Then you'd better listen to me obediently."

The man scoffed.

"Don't even think about it!"

Su Rui shouted and charged forward again.

And so, Su Rui was knocked away again and again, falling down time and time again.

But gradually, she was able to see how her opponent made their moves.

However, this was what truly drove her to despair.

Sometimes, not being able to see things clearly is actually a good thing.

The opponent's swordplay was like a gazelle leaping from its perch, perfectly executed. Each move was just right, appearing so easy and powerless, yet always hitting the crucial point and unleashing astonishing force, sending her flying.

But she also began to have doubts.

Wasn't this guy trying to steal the master's things? Why is he fighting with me for so long?

Am I really that powerful? Am I capable of fighting this immortal who seems to be wielding a celestial sword?

Moreover, despite fighting for so long, she didn't feel tired at all, and didn't even have a single injury.

Moreover, sword techniques that were previously difficult to understand suddenly became clear to him.

It didn't seem like the other party wanted to kill her; instead, they wanted to... teach her?

Su Rui suddenly had a bold guess.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

The man spoke again, making sarcastic remarks.

However, this time Su Rui didn't shout, but instead called out in confusion.

"master?"

Su Rui looked over with a strange expression.

"Oh my, Su Rui, you finally figured it out! Haha, you're really good at praising me. I've already become a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator."

Su Changming laughed heartily, waved his hand, and his expression instantly changed.

"Master! How could you do this!"

Upon seeing Su Changming reveal his true face, Su Rui's eyes immediately reddened.

"Don't cry, this is just your master testing you. He's afraid you might succumb to temptation and sell him one day."

Su Changming admitted that he was in the wrong this time. He originally just wanted to see Su Rui's reaction, but in the end, he wanted to put on an act to see how Su Rui felt about him.

With a face he himself doesn't recognize, he does indeed act without much thought.

However, this was also because he didn't know whether Su Rui would still think of him, her master, when facing life and death, and whether he should trust this maid.

But now it seems that Su Rui does indeed have very deep feelings for him.

"How could I! Su Rui would never betray Master!"

Su Rui said angrily.

"Okay, okay."

Su Changming said with a smile.

"Is the master truly at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

Su Rui recalled Su Changming's words earlier and asked curiously.

"Um……"

Su Changming nodded.

"So low..."

Su Rui frowned. She felt that her master was very powerful, but while Qi Refining had twelve levels, her master only had six. It was too strange.

"Haha, is it low? I think so too. But even a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining is no match for me. If Su Rui encounters a cultivator who claims to be at the Foundation Establishment stage next time, she should sell him out. After all, I can't beat that kind of cultivator."

Su Changming laughed heartily.

"I would never sell you, sir. Even if you sold yourself, I would buy you back."

Su Rui said.

"If I were to sell myself, you'd need to be a cultivator to redeem me, Su Rui. Why don't you go participate in the outer sect trial tomorrow? The few sword techniques I taught you are enough for you to enter the outer sect."

Su Changming thought for a moment and then said.

"Master, I won't go! I don't want to be an outer disciple. I want to be your servant, a servant for life!"

Su Rui quickly shook her head.

"What's so good about being a servant? Do you even know what a servant means? It's someone who serves others. Do you want to be a servant for the rest of your life? Don't you want to become an immortal and fly through the air?"

Su Changming said earnestly.

"No, no, I want to be the master's servant."

However, Su Rui still shook her head.

"Don't you want to get rid of the birthmark on your head? Once you become a cultivator, these can all be removed, and the cultivation techniques female cultivators practice will make them more and more beautiful."

Su Changming touched Su Rui's forehead.

However, Su Rui remained silent.

"Moreover, cultivators can live for a very long time. Do you want the master to still look like he is twenty years old, while you have already become an old woman?"

If you become a monk, you can see more scenery, eat more delicious food, and enjoy a better life.

Su Changming continued to patiently persuade him.

"R-really...?"

Su Rui asked, gazing intently into the distance.

See more beautiful scenery, eat more delicious food, and enjoy a better life with my husband...

At the same time, she couldn't help but think of her deceased grandmother; it was winter that year.

There was no firewood left in the house, and the winter wind was terrifyingly cold, constantly blowing in through the broken window.

Grandma was right next to her, her body warm, holding her tightly as she was still a baby.

But in the middle of the night, a bone-chilling cold struck, and she was suddenly awakened.

The warmth before her had turned into a cold, lifeless silence, and the hands that had once brought her warmth now bound her tightly like rotten, withered wood.

When she opened her eyes and saw the lifeless, aged face, she immediately burst into tears of fear.

She remembered... that was the last time she cried.

"real."

Su Changming nodded.

"Master, I...I will definitely become an inner disciple!"

Su Rui nodded approvingly.

"Hmm! Very good. Here is a bottle of Minor Rejuvenation Pills, which can accelerate your cultivation. After taking it, you should be able to reach the second level of Qi Refining. However, remember, do not take too many pills at once, otherwise you will accumulate pill toxins and affect your subsequent breakthroughs."

Seeing that Su Rui had finally been persuaded, Su Changming smiled and took out a white jade porcelain bottle.

This is the medicine he bought at the market today.

Since arriving in this world and discovering that he could identify and upgrade items, he has used very few pills.

The difference between the last time and the time before that was the difference between the Transcendental Pill and the Abstinence Pill.

It can be said that Su Changming's body has the least amount of pill poison in the entire Liuyun Sect, even compared to those Foundation Establishment and Yuan Dan cultivators.

However, this doesn't mean that pills are bad. Compared to spiritual materials of the same grade, pills of the same grade are far more effective.

If Su Changming weren't able to eat high-grade spiritual materials like grass, he probably would have had to take pills to break through.

Moreover, they may also be hampered by poor natural talent, resulting in poor medication efficacy.

Seeing Su Rui's departing figure, Su Changming seemed to see the original owner of the body retreating from her family and cultivating in silence.

Being neglected by the Su family and only reaching the third level of Qi Refining after several years at the Liuyun Sect, this is a true reflection of a cultivator who lacks both talent and resources.

Hopefully, Su Rui can endure the loneliness.

Su Changming could provide Su Rui with a lot of help, after all, Su Rui was the only person he could trust, even his master.

However, cultivation still depends on oneself. Su Rui's natural talent is not good. Even if one tries to force her to improve her realm, she will definitely not be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the end.

Not being weak, he let him fight for himself. With his intelligence and indomitable spirit, Su Changming believed that achieving Foundation Establishment was not impossible.

Even if all else fails... I have my overpowered master to help me out...

Having become a Yuan Dan or Jin Dan cultivator, even a mortal could be forcibly pushed into the Foundation Establishment stage.
