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

"It's all about timing and fate... The ancestor actually took you as a disciple, so you must have a high talent for alchemy. It's not an insult to Siyan if you're with her."

The king nodded in satisfaction.

With a mind astoundingly intelligent and naturally gifted, he can master all kinds of magic with ease. Given enough resources, no matter how poor his natural talent, he is almost destined to become a Yuan Dan cultivator.

If Siyan can resolve her inner conflict, achieving the Golden Core stage is not impossible.

By then, the Xia Dynasty will have become a true power in the southern region.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. My purpose in coming to the Heavenly Evolution Bureau is simply to annul the engagement and relieve Siyan of her suffering."

Su Changming said calmly.

"Hehehe... I never imagined that the person Siyan has been waiting for all these years would have no feelings for her at all."

Wang Shi's expression instantly turned cold.

"We hope the royal army will grant our request."

Su Changming cupped his hands in greeting.

The original owner of this body didn't have much longing for Li Siyan, let alone him now.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for Li Siyan, who had waited for him for so long, he would travel thousands of miles to Jinchi Sect after resting for a while.

Li Siyan, who has not yet established her foundation, will only become a burden.

Moreover, Li Siyan's status and position here are not low, and maintaining ties with the other party would only harm them.

"You wish to be free of all attachments, but I cannot grant your wish."

The king spoke first.

If the other party were not a disciple of the patriarch, he would probably have crippled him on the spot and turned him into a puppet.

"I only seek the Great Dao to achieve immortality, and I have no interest in romantic love."

Su Changming said helplessly.

"Having a Daoist partner to help you in the pursuit of immortality will make things much easier. Siyan is exceptionally talented and won't hold you back. Besides, wouldn't you feel lonely living for thousands of years on your own?"

The king asked in return.

However, Su Changming still looked troubled.

He had no intention of finding a Daoist partner.

After all, he possesses the incredible ability to identify and upgrade, even if this ability is not apparent to others.

However, after spending a long time with him, his various unusual behaviors will likely arouse curiosity.

Even though Su Rui was once a mortal, Su Changming was extremely careful with her and never revealed any abnormalities about her.

So how could he possibly be with Li Siyan?

"Fine, you only need to stay for a year, and then you can leave as you please, how about that?"

Seeing that Su Changming had not responded, Wang Shi sighed helplessly.

"To tell you the truth, Master Wang, I was ordered by my master to deliver a message to the Jinchi Sect. I don't care about myself, but I'm afraid of delaying my master's business."

Su Changming spoke up.

This master is not that master, but they are all masters.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the ancestor myself. And I can give you 300 contribution points every month so you can exchange them for spiritual items at the Heavenly Evolution Division."

"And aren't you an alchemist? I can also give you three third-tier spiritual herbs every month, in addition to providing you with monthly cultivation resources..."

As the royal army explained in detail, Su Changming's words of refusal choked in his throat, and he couldn't say them at all.

He didn't care about contribution points or anything else; what he was really interested in was the third-tier spiritual herb.

"Can I choose these third-tier spiritual herbs myself?"

Su Changming asked.

"You can choose from them, but Elmwood City doesn't have many Tier 3 spiritual herbs in reserve. A year is enough time for you to use them all up."

The king spoke first.

"In that case, I certainly have no choice but to agree."

It's not that he lacked resolve, but rather that the offer was too generous.

He has never actually seen a third-tier spiritual herb.

The only Tier 3 items I've seen are the Star Stone and Foundation Establishment Pill I obtained from He Jiushan.

However, the star stone can be upgraded through appraisal, and in his hands it can be considered a fourth-tier spiritual item.

Therefore, Su Changming was naturally very curious about the third-tier spiritual medicine that the royal master had provided him.

"No one gets up early for nothing, and I don't know why Siyan, who has a very clever mind, would fall hopelessly in love with you."

Seeing Su Changming's eager expression, Wang Shi couldn't help but shake his head.

"A heart with nine orifices?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in Wang Shi's tone, Su Changming asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's right. Li Siyan awakened her Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart last year, and in just one year, she has become proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Last year's top scorer in high school, being a woman, speaks volumes about her extraordinary intelligence, enough to convince even the most conservative old-fashioned people to rank her as the top scorer.

Even the Dragon Lord was alarmed and wished to bestow upon her the title of Princess.

The king spoke first.

Those who possess the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart have unparalleled comprehension and are born with a divine sense that surpasses that of cultivators of the same level.

"If one were to be granted an official position and enter the Daoist path, it would be extremely difficult to start cultivating from scratch again, which would be a real pity."

Su Changming spoke up.

Although being granted an official position and entering the Dao can bring immense power overnight, one's strength is still far weaker than that of other cultivators of the same level. Moreover, because one does not cultivate step by step on their own, it is extremely difficult to comprehend spells and even use Daoist techniques.

"That is exactly why I wrote to the Dragon Lord, suggesting that he be cultivated into the guardian deity of our Great Xia."

Wang Shi spoke up

Su Changming remained silent, but he already knew in his heart that Li Siyan would probably no longer be in control of her own destiny.

Xia Chaohua has invested a great deal of resources in nurturing her, so she certainly won't let her run wild.

As for which control method to use...

Xia Chao cultivated through unique dragon veins, and his methods of controlling people were naturally beyond his imagination.

"And all you have to do is provide your essence once a month for the next year. After that, I will find a way to make you fake your death, leaving behind a body that carries your scent, so that she will give up on you."

Therefore, the premise of these agreements is that you need to suppress your cultivation level to at most the late Qi Refining stage within this year, and you cannot return to Great Xia afterwards.

The king said.

"My ancestral clan and relatives are in the Great Xia. Would it be too much to ask me not to return to the Great Xia?"

Su Changming said with his eyes lowered.

"So you mean...?"

Wang Shi frowned.

He had already investigated Su Changming's identity thoroughly.

The disciple of Liuyun Sect lost his parents in battle at the border. The only relative he had in the Su family was the one whose monthly spirit stones were deducted from his allowance. It would be fair to say he had no relatives at all.

"What I mean is... we need to pay more."

Su Changming smiled slightly.

"You little rascal."

The king's army was so angry that they laughed.

But in the end, she agreed to Su Changming's request to increase the number of third-tier medicinal herbs from three to four per month.

At the same time, Su Changming joined the Heavenly Evolution Division and was nurtured as a foundation-building seed.

The reason for making this condition is that Su Changming wants to learn some array formations, puppetry, and other skills at the Tianyan Division.

The Liuyun Sect is not skilled in array formations and puppetry. Even after searching through the entire Jinglun Peak, there are very few records about these two disciplines.

As for the art of talismans, although the Flowing Cloud Sect, located next to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, has a considerable number of recorded spiritual talismans, it is still not considered prosperous.

Only alchemy and the cultivation of spiritual plants are relatively prevalent in the Flowing Cloud Sect due to its fertile spiritual soil and strong earth fire.
