I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

As Su Hao and his entourage left arrogantly, the elder in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall closed his eyes to rest and waved everyone away.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became eerie.

Several collateral branch youths, who had just been beaten black and blue and had most of their spirit stones stolen, helped each other to their feet.

They wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, and when they looked at Su Yu again, their eyes no longer held any sympathy, only undisguised contempt and anger.

"Bah! Utterly shameless!"

A hot-tempered young man spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground, staring intently at Su Yu's retreating figure, gritting his teeth.

"Su Tian, ​​I never expected you to be such a spineless coward who could break even your own spine!"

"Cultivating immortality is defying the heavens; it demands a clear mind and unwavering resolve! Today, for a few spirit stones, you've trampled your dignity underfoot to become Su Hao's dog, utterly disgracing us collateral descendants!"

Another boy, clutching his chest, echoed with a cold laugh.

"Indeed! Although we possess low-grade spiritual roots of the eighth or ninth rank, and our aptitude is inferior to others, we are by no means lacking in the will to climb higher! As long as we don't give up our desire to seek the Dao, diligence can make up for our shortcomings, and one day we will rise above others!"

"A sycophant like you, even if you win the favor of the main lineage, is destined to go nowhere on the path of cultivation!"

Their scathing words echoed through the courtyard, as if they were the ones who held the truth, standing on the moral high ground.

Hearing the righteous accusations behind him, Su Yu stopped in his tracks.

He didn't turn around, nor did he get angry.

Deep down, he even found the remarks of these teenagers somewhat childishly cute.

Passion? A commitment to the Tao? Diligence can make up for lack of talent?

Su Yu lived for eighty years in his previous life and had witnessed the ups and downs of life.

Let alone the cultivation world, in any society, passion without talent is the cheapest thing in the world.

Do you think you can defy fate with just a surge of passion?

That's nothing more than a placebo for the weak to numb themselves in despair.

Without resources or opportunities, no matter how hard you shout, you can't forge your Dao heart to be harder than stone.

In the end, they simply exhaust their lifespan in the spirit field and turn into a handful of yellow earth.

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect."

Su Yu shook his head slightly, not uttering a single word in rebuttal, nor bothering to argue, and strode straight out of the Inner Affairs Hall.

……

After leaving the Inner Affairs Hall, Su Yu walked through several streets on the outskirts of the market and returned to his residence.

In this life, his parents both perished in a family mission when he was young, leaving him as an orphan.

However, the treatment of disciples with spiritual roots, even those from collateral branches with ninth-grade spiritual roots, in cultivation families is far superior to that of ordinary mortals.

Although he was an orphan, he was still allocated a separate courtyard and lived alone in a spacious main room.

Not only that, but he even had maids to take care of his daily life, allowing him to devote more time to cultivation and farming.

"Young Master, you're back."

As soon as Su Yu pushed open the courtyard gate, a young girl dressed in an elegant long dress came to greet him.

The girl's name was Qing'er. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her appearance was above average, and her figure was quite well-developed. Her eyes and brows carried a sense of awe and obedience that mortals have when facing cultivators.

She deftly handed him a warm towel and said softly, "I've already prepared hot water. Would you like to bathe first, young master, or would you like to have your meal first?"

"No need, I'll go back to my room to cultivate. Don't let anyone disturb me before nightfall."

Su Yu took the towel, wiped her face casually, gave an instruction, and then went straight to the bedroom.

"Yes, young master."

Qing'er obediently curtsied and retreated to wait outside the courtyard.

After closing the door, Su Yu walked to the bed and sat cross-legged.

He closed his eyes, and his mind instantly calmed down.

Since awakening his past life memories a month ago, Su Yu has spent almost all his remaining time doing one thing, except for working in the spirit fields every day.

Deducing the pinnacle of martial arts from a past life, the Heavenly Dragon True Qi!

In his previous life, he ascended to the pinnacle of martial arts mythology with an ordinary body.

Their understanding of the human body's meridians, acupoints, and the explosive power of force has long reached an unbelievable level.

Although the power system in the cultivation world is vast and has an extremely high upper limit, it is possible to move mountains and fill seas, and even achieve immortality.

However, at the lower levels, those cultivators in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining are actually not as good at fighting as the martial arts grandmasters in the secular world!

Unless the cultivator has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, that is, the seventh level of Qi Refining or higher.

Upon reaching that level, the spiritual power within the body undergoes a qualitative change. Not only does the power of spells increase dramatically, allowing for the instant creation of an indestructible spiritual power shield, but it also enables the use of magical artifacts to kill enemies in mid-air, completely widening the distance and overwhelming martial arts from a dimensional perspective.

But below the seventh level of Qi Refining?

In close combat, the skills of ordinary martial arts are the true key!

He only needs to slightly adjust the circulation path of "Heavenly Dragon True Qi" and directly replace the internal force that drives the moves with the spiritual energy of the cultivation world!

With an extraordinary level of comprehension as a foundation, coupled with a lifetime of martial arts experience from his previous life, this transformation process was a natural progression for Su Yu.

Su Yu took a deep breath and began to guide the meager Qi Refining Level 2 spiritual power within his dantian.

Following the operational path of "Heavenly Dragon True Qi", spiritual power no longer simply and violently surges from the palm as when casting immortal cultivation spells.

Instead, it transforms into fine, domineering undercurrents, rapidly traversing, compressing, and then exploding along the meridians of the limbs and bones!

Om-!

As spiritual energy circulated, Su Yu's robes fluttered even without wind.

Faintly, a faint but ancient and domineering dragon's roar resonated within his body.

Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light.

Become!

Using the spiritual energy of cultivation to unleash martial arts killing moves is the most terrifying close combat method in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

Within the same level, those hothouse flowers who can only stand still and hold back their spells would definitely die if he dared to get close to them!

"The cultivation technique has been completed. The only thing lacking now is the accumulation of spiritual energy."

Su Yu exhaled a long breath, gathering the surging spiritual energy around him back into his dantian. Feeling the pitifully small amount of spiritual energy reserves in his body, he shook his head helplessly.

By this time, it was already dark, the sun had set in the west, and a pale, crescent moon quietly climbed into the clouds.

After spending the entire day planting spirit fields under the scorching sun, and then wasting time and effort in the Internal Affairs Hall, I also had to dedicate my energy to transforming my cultivation technique upon returning home.

At this moment, this mortal body was already deeply exhausted.

Su Yu pushed open the door and called out towards the courtyard.

"Qing'er, go prepare some water. I need to bathe and rest."

Since he has been given a second chance at life, he should still enjoy what he deserves, which is why he is able to live a fulfilling life despite his circumstances.
