"A true dragon can no longer be raised in this puddle."

Seeing the fire burning in Su Yu's eyes, Su Yuan made a decision that went against the family precepts.

"Father, you can't stay here."

"Staying in the Su family will only ruin your third-grade spiritual root."

Su Yuan's tone was extremely solemn, without the slightest hint of joking.

There are no higher-level spirit-gathering arrays, no systematic cultivation techniques to pass down, and no resources available after the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if Su Yu has the highest aptitude, he can only reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"What's the background of that Nascent Soul sect?"

Su Yu's gaze fell on the area on the map that occupied almost half of the territory, and he casually asked a question.

Su Yuan put away the jade slip in his hand and reported back truthfully.

"According to the scattered intelligence I have collected over the years, Cangxuan Sect is the closest Nascent Soul stage sect to our Yue Kingdom."

"It is a hundred thousand miles away from here."

"It is not only a sect, but also the absolute ruler of this vast territory."

"The spiritual veins there are at least of the third rank or higher, and the sect is divided into outer sect, inner sect, and core disciples."

"Even if he is just an outer sect steward of the Cangxuan Sect, if he comes to the border of our Yue Kingdom, the patriarchs of the major cultivation families will have to come out to greet him personally."

Su Yuan put the map away, his tone calm.

"Father, your talents in this life should not be confined to the Su family."

"Although the family is currently safe and sound, in the face of the truly powerful forces in the cultivation world, it is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant."

"Only by going there can you obtain resources for Core Formation or even higher levels."

Su Yuan's words were very realistic and untainted by any personal feelings.

As a family head who had lived for over 160 years and was in the Foundation Establishment stage, he knew very well what choices were most beneficial to his family and his father.

Su Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging the decision.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuan took out a palm-sized black jade tablet from his wide sleeves.

The surface of the jade plaque is engraved with intricate array patterns, faintly revealing an aura of spatial fluctuation.

"This is the interstate airship pass issued by the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce."

Su Yuan placed the jade tablet on the stone table with both hands.

"I used all of Dingyuan Trading Company's secret connections in the secular world and also transferred 10,000 low-grade spirit stones from the family treasury to buy this spot from a down-on-his-luck cultivator merchant."

Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This is an extremely large sum of money.

Even if the Su family of Qianlong occupied Qingmufang City, this was still a cash flow that would take a year of frugal living to squeeze out.

"This money was well spent."

Su Yu picked up the jade pendant and put it into his pocket.

He understood the underlying logic of the cultivation world all too well.

No matter how talented you are, if you can't even get close to the gates of a major sect or stand on the testing formation, you'll always just be a rogue cultivator.

The cultivation techniques, elixirs, guidance from renowned masters, and most importantly, high-level spiritual veins of major sects are things that cannot be bought with any amount of spirit stones outside.

"When will the airship dock?" Su Yu asked.

"The Chamber of Commerce has given us a timeframe of two weeks."

Su Yuan replied, "As long as the jade tablet heats up, it means that the flying boat has arrived at the Jiexiantai on the outskirts of Qingmufang City."

With the matter settled, there was no more unnecessary talk in the secret room.

For the next two weeks, Su Yu stayed in the inner courtyard, remaining secluded to thoroughly consolidate his Qi Refining seventh level cultivation.

One morning, two weeks later.

Su Yu was meditating when he suddenly felt a warm sensation from the black jade pendant in his arms.

Immediately afterwards, a faint light appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, and a tiny rune flickered within it.

Time is up.

Su Yu opened his eyes and finished his breathing exercises.

He changed into a plain blue robe and hung a few changes of clothes and the storage bag that Su Yuan had prepared on his waist.

Pushing open the door, I saw a person standing in the courtyard.

His birth mother, Lady Liu.

More than a decade has passed without leaving many marks on Liu's face, but today she looks somewhat haggard.

The wind in the courtyard was a bit chilly.

Liu walked up to Su Yu and reached out to straighten the collar of his blue robe.

She was a smart woman. Although she was only a wife at the sixth level of Qi Refining, she was very clear about the rules of the cultivation world.

Her son was exceptionally gifted, which was a great blessing, but also a fledgling eagle destined to leave her and soar high.

She didn't wail like an ordinary woman, nor did she say anything to stop her.

"When you're out and about, be careful in everything you do."

Liu's eyes were a little red, and her voice trembled with extreme restraint.

"The Cangxuan Sect is not like home; it has strict rules and a diverse population."

"When you encounter problems, don't try to stand out; just cultivate peacefully."

This is simply a mother's most basic request.

Su Yu looked at the person in front of her who was nominally her mother and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He didn't offer any further assurances.

Having lived for two hundred years, his understanding of the dangers of the cultivation world was countless times deeper than that of the Liu family.

After bidding farewell to Madam Liu, Su Yu turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Fifty miles outside of Aokibu City, there is a flat, high peak.

This is a temporary stop for the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce's interstate ferry service.

When Su Yu arrived, the sky was already shrouded in a huge shadow.

It was a huge flying boat that was hundreds of feet long.

The entire hull is made of third-tier spirit wood, and its surface is covered with dense defensive and spirit-gathering array patterns.

The airship hovered in mid-air, and several boarding stairs formed from spiritual light descended from the deck, extending all the way to the open space on the mountain peak.

Such a colossal object creates an extremely strong sense of visual oppression.

On the platform for receiving immortals, a number of cultivators holding jade tokens and preparing to board the ship had already gathered.

Most of them are rogue cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, or young people escorted by their family elders to major sects to become disciples.

Su Yuan stood at the back of the crowd and did not step forward.

He watched as Su Yu walked to the staircase of spiritual light.

The father and son, separated by a distance of more than ten feet, briefly met each other's eyes in mid-air.

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

His meaning is very clear.

With the family backing him up, there was nothing to worry about; Su Yu could go out and make his own way.

Su Yu also withdrew his gaze.

He took out the black jade token and waved it in front of the chamber of commerce manager in charge of the inspection.

The jade plaque transformed into a stream of light and merged into the steps.

Su Yu stepped onto the spiritual light staircase and walked steadily toward the deck of the flying boat.

The airship's deck was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

There were many people boarding the ship, making it somewhat noisy.

Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be a world of its own.

At the deck entrance, there was a rosewood table, and an elderly man dressed in the attire of the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce was sitting behind the table, conducting final identity checks and room assignments for the boarding passengers.

The old man exuded the magical power fluctuations of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and his attitude appeared very casual.

The passengers lined up, obediently handing over their jade tokens and having their reflections examined in a bronze mirror held by the old man.

That's a magical artifact used to test bone age and cultivation level.

The rooms on the interstate flying boats are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, and are assigned according to the passenger's cultivation level and background. This is a default rule within the Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, it was Su Yu's turn.

He placed the jade pendant on the table.

The old man didn't even look up; he casually picked up a bronze mirror and looked at Su Yu.

A faint light shone on the surface of the bronze mirror, and then two lines of small characters appeared.

The old man glanced at it casually.

The old man froze in the next instant.

He suddenly raised his head, his half-closed eyes widening instantly as he stared intently at the young man in the blue robe standing before him.

Bone age: eleven years old.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage 7.

The old man had worked as a manager in the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce for decades and had seen countless geniuses preparing to go to the Cang Xuan Sect to become disciples.

But at the late stage of Qi Refining at the age of eleven, this kind of thing was completely beyond his previous understanding.

Ordinary cultivators begin their cultivation at the age of six and, within five years, leap directly from Qi Induction to the late stage of Qi Refining.

This requires an incredibly powerful spiritual root or some extremely rare and special physique!

Such a person, once they enter the Cangxuan Sect, will definitely be a seed for inner disciples or even core disciples.

It's simply not someone a chamber of commerce manager could afford to offend.

The old man's previously casual sitting posture instantly became more composed.

He immediately stood up, his coldness transforming into an extremely warm smile, even revealing a hint of respect.

"Young master, your inspection is correct."

The old man handed the jade token back to Su Yu with both hands, and then took out a white jade number plate from his sleeve.

"This is the key to room number three in the Heavenly tier. The room is on the top floor of the flying ship, where the spiritual energy is most abundant, and it is equipped with a separate spirit-gathering array and soundproofing barrier."

"Young master, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest in the room. If you need anything, please let the servants on the boat know."

Su Yu calmly accepted the jade token and the number plate.

He was not surprised by the old man's change in attitude.

In the world of cultivation, strength and potential are the best passports.

Thank you.

Su Yu simply replied with two words, and then, led by a maid, walked towards the corridor on the top floor of the flying boat.

However, the old man's outburst and the number "top" on his sign still caught the attention of the passengers queuing around him.

Cultivators have incredibly sharp senses.

Soon, news of an eleven-year-old prodigy at the late stage of Qi Refining boarding the ship quietly spread throughout the cabins of the flying boat.

For this group of low- to mid-level cultivators who went to Cangxuan Sect to find their way...

An eleven-year-old at the seventh level of Qi Refining is simply a case of being outmatched.

This means that the other party's future achievements are limitless. If a good relationship can be formed at this moment, it may become a great life-saving grace in the future.

Only an hour had passed.

Outside the door of room number three in the Heavenly section where Su Yu was located, a number of people gradually gathered.

Some of them are the young masters of fallen noble families, who brought the only remaining spiritual creatures in their families, hoping to make their names known.

Some of the managers of the business held up fine ritual implements, attempting to make advance investments in personal relationships.

There were even a few beautiful female cultivators lingering outside the door, their words hinting at a desire to travel together.

The corridor outside the door seemed a bit crowded.

Su Yu sat on a futon in the room, listening to the noise outside the door, his brows furrowing slightly.

In his view, such flattery and networking, which were merely icing on the cake, had no real value.

This group values ​​his potential, and if anything unexpected happens to him in the future, these people will run away faster than anyone else.

Most importantly, he didn't have the time to engage in empty pleasantries with these low-level cultivators.

The door was pushed open a crack.

Su Yu stood behind the door, looking at the smiling faces outside.

He didn't push things too far.

He politely accepted the gift boxes and calling cards offered to him and then closed the door.

With the soundproof barrier lifted.

The noise from outside was completely shut out.

Su Yu casually tossed the low-level magic artifacts and pills into the corner, sat back down on the futon, and closed his eyes.

The spirit-gathering array in the Heavenly Room is indeed quite impressive, as it represents the interplay of heaven and earth.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times higher than that of the first-grade high-level spiritual vein in Qingmufang City.

That's enough for him to absorb everything steadily along the way.

The flying boat trembled slightly in mid-air, then transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the clouds and speeding towards the northern horizon.

The journey has begun.

Seven days seemed extremely short during meditation and breathing exercises.

Through a century of operation by the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce, the interstate airship routes have long since avoided the territories of all high-level demonic beasts.

With the added deterrent effect of a Golden Core cultivator in charge, they did not encounter any foolish cultivators along the way.

The airship moved as smoothly as if it were gliding on the lake.

The morning of the seventh day.

Su Yu sensed that the spirit-gathering array inside the room gradually stopped operating.

The speed of the airship began to decrease significantly.

He finished his breathing exercises, stood up, and opened the window of the room.

An extremely rich, pure, and even slightly sweet spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed in through the cracks in the window.

Su Yu looked outside.

On the horizon ahead, the desolate plains and low hills of the Yue border were no longer visible.

A vast mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, with no end in sight, lying across the sky and earth.

This is the location of the Cangxuan Sect's mountain gate, in the Cangxuan Mountain Range.

The mountains soar into the clouds, with many peaks even suspended in mid-air, defying common sense about physics.

Countless thick beams of spiritual light shot into the sky from the depths of the mountains, indicating that a large-scale formation of the sect's foundation was in operation.

In mid-air, enormous mythical birds darted through the sea of ​​clouds.

Hundreds and thousands of streaks of light and flying swords rose and fell among the mountain peaks, like twinkling stars.

At the outermost edge of the mountain range lies a massive cultivation city built in association with the Cangxuan Sect.

The city walls are dozens of feet high, and are made entirely of black basalt. The surface of the walls is filled with a chilling array of light.

Compared to here.

Aokibo City was practically like a thatched hut in a remote, impoverished area.

The airship slowly descended, heading towards the harbor outside the massive city.

Su Yu stood by the window, gazing at the vast world of cultivation.

He straightened his blue robe and tied the storage bag tightly.

He showed no signs of excitement or trembling; he simply looked calmly ahead.

Cangxuan Sect.

Arrived.
