Chapter 23

The only merit is listening to advice?

Lin Bai's latest message made the people in the group feel comfortable.

However, his question put most of them in a difficult spot.

Yao Yue: "Improve aptitude? There's such a method!?"

Tang San: "Aptitude is something you're born with. You are what you are from birth; you still dream of changing it?"

Ying Zheng: "Mediocre aptitude is nothing; what does it matter? At worst, you go against the heavens—that is a true man!"

Xiao Yan: "Brother Lin Bai, I asked the old man in the ring, and his advice for you is to refine a Nirvana Pill that can change your aptitude and wash your marrow. However, the Spirit Grass of Green Marrow required is extremely rare; I'm afraid there aren't even a few stalks in your world!"

Ye Fan: "Changing cultivation aptitude... I have seen legends about it in an ancient book. Besides using elixirs to assist in changing innate aptitude, there is another way: you need to be outdoors, empty your mind, and use your intent to perceive the heavens and seek the Heavenly Dao!"

"Doing this has a very small probability of intersecting with the Heavenly Dao. At that time, you can be tainted with the aura of the Heavenly Dao, shed your mortal shell, and your aptitude will be cleansed—a true rebirth. However, this only exists in legends; I haven't heard of anyone succeeding yet!"

Just as the group was discussing and some were giving advice...

[Ding, you have received a suggestion (Refine Nirvana Pill), difficulty: Hard, completion will grant a Gold Treasure Chest!]

[Ding, you have received a suggestion (Seek Heavenly Dao), difficulty: Hard+, completion will grant a Platinum Treasure Chest!]

The system's notification rang in Lin Bai's mind.

"Nirvana Pill? Spirit Grass of Green Marrow? I've never even heard of them..."

He looked at Xiao Yan's suggestion first, then shook his head.

This suggestion could only be kept for now; otherwise, gathering the materials would probably take a very long time!

It seems,

most people in the group don't know much about this!

So far, only two people have given suggestions!

Xiao Yan's suggestion was put aside for now, leaving only Ye Fan's!

Seek the Heavenly Dao?!

Upon seeing this suggestion, Lin Bai's eyes lit up!

"This is good!!!"

He felt happy, his face full of smiles!

Although Ye Fan's suggestion looked easy to fail, he had a system!

Especially since completing the suggestion would allow him to open a Platinum Treasure Chest!

It wouldn't even require searching for medicinal herbs like Xiao Yan's suggestion, and he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths!

This is the one!

After making his decision,

Lin Bai sent another message: "Many thanks for everyone's suggestions. I will listen to advice; regardless of whether it's useful or not, I'll try it first!"

Subsequently,

he closed the chat group without looking at what everyone else was saying.

Seeing Lin Bai's message,

Ye Fan in the Shrouding the Heavens world couldn't help but freeze, his eyes filled with doubt.

"This guy is really this willing to listen to advice!?"

He muttered, inevitably feeling suspicious.

Was Lin Bai really going to adopt his suggestion?

That was just a rumor; he had tried it himself, but in the end, he hadn't succeeded!

If Lin Bai could actually do it this time, that would be truly terrifying!

But then, thinking about it again,

Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "If he can really succeed, then it would be a miracle."

Seek the Heavenly Dao?

In his view, that was almost impossible!

At the very least, he hadn't succeeded, and besides the rumors, he hadn't heard of anyone succeeding in the last ten thousand years!

In the cave dwelling,

Lin Bai decided to adopt Ye Fan's suggestion and walked out.

"Seek the Heavenly Dao!"

With a firm expression, he sat cross-legged in front of the cave!

Following what Ye Fan said earlier, he emptied his mind and used his intent to perceive the heavens and earth!

Due to the system's effect,

Lin Bai, listening to advice, had his aura disappear in an instant the moment he closed his eyes!

It was as if all vitality had vanished!

But,

Lin Bai's vision went black, and he felt his soul wandering in the void!

"This feeling..."

He felt it was quite marvelous, as if he had escaped into chaos!

But in the boundless darkness, he could see a faint glimmer of light ahead!

Even,

he could feel a mysterious energy fluctuation!

Looking from afar,

"That... should be the Heavenly Dao!?"

Lin Bai was excited and approached the direction of the light regardless of the cost!

But no matter how he accelerated, the distance seemed impossible to shorten!

However, he had been mentally prepared for this phenomenon and didn't pay it much mind!

After all, if it were that easy, Ye Fan's suggestion wouldn't have been a Platinum Treasure Chest!

Just as Lin Bai was wandering in the void,

"Hum hum..."

Outside the cave, the void around his body rippled with waves!

Especially on his body, not a trace of vitality could be detected; only a physical shell remained!

But the current Lin Bai was immersed in chaos, constantly approaching the source of the light at top speed!

"If I can reach that place, it should count as finished, right!?"

He muttered, not discouraged!

Even though the process was extremely tedious, he kept his composure and didn't get impatient!

After all, this time, he had a chance to change his own aptitude!

He didn't ask for a complete rebirth, but he had to have a change!

In the cruel grand fantasy world,

the higher the aptitude, the higher the ceiling!

Lin Bai attached great importance to this; it could be said that when he got the system, he had considered changing it by listening to advice!

"With the system, I will definitely succeed!"

He gritted his teeth and firmly approached the location of the Heavenly Dao!

He didn't know how much time had passed,

but Lin Bai could see he was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Dao, and he felt an aura that made his soul tremble!

"So terrifying..."

He trembled slightly but bit the bullet and continued to approach!

No matter what, this was an unprecedentedly great opportunity!

If he gave up now and didn't complete the suggestion, the loss would outweigh the gain!

As he got closer and closer,

Lin Bai could even feel a trace of crisis!

But he didn't have the slightest thought of giving up!

At the same time,

outside the cave,

Lin Bai's body was trembling constantly, his forehead covered in sweat!

"Rumble..."

Faint rumbling sounds kept coming from the void nearby!

And at this moment,

an invisible, astonishing aura radiated from Lin Bai, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly!
