Chapter 44: Xuan Does Not Change Fate

Inside the master bedroom of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion, within the Pot Heaven.

Su Ping lay comfortably in the hot spring pool made of white jade walls inside the bedroom.

He felt the refreshing sensation of his cells, exhausted from the night, being embraced by the hot spring water, nourished and filled with warmth.

In just a few minutes, Su Ping felt his fatigue vanish, and after some lingering reluctance, he got up and changed into fresh clothes.

Su Ping closed his eyes and looked inward, feeling his Dharma Power circulating freely throughout his entire body, with no obstructions in his meridians.

He had actually almost reached the upper limit of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"At this rate of cultivation, I'm afraid I can attempt Foundation Establishment in less than a year!"

"However, if others find out about this progress, I'm afraid they will immediately harbor evil intentions!"

"I must be on guard!"

"After all, it is still plausible that I was stuck at the third level of Qi Refining after twenty years of bitter cultivation, and only managed to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining after entering the mortal world and accumulating strength."

"But if I can still go from the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the late stage, or even reach perfection and start Foundation Establishment, in just one year of bitter cultivation while in the mortal world..."

"It would be really hard to find a reason to make other Cultivators believe I am not cheating, and that all of this was gained through my own bitter cultivation!"

Su Ping silently noted this hidden danger in his heart, preparing to find an opportunity to resolve it.

If it truly could not be resolved, then he would have to bite the bullet and run away to another Immortal Sect's territory to disguise himself as a reclusive expert before others reacted.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Su Ping was still unwilling, and he could not bear to leave this fishing spot at Linyue Lake.

"It's about time for the fishing spot to refresh."

Su Ping left the Pot Heaven and returned to Linyue Villa to start fishing.

The people around were already accustomed to this.

In fact, Su Ping's hobby of fishing had aroused the curiosity of some Cultivators, who had deliberately leaked it to let some Loose Cultivators secretly imitate him.

Linyue Lake had already become private property and did not accept outside guests; while it could stop mortals, it could not stop those Cultivators.

There were even Cultivators with high skills and bold hearts who came to this fishing spot while Su Ping was away to imitate the exact rhythm and movements of Su Ping's fishing.

They even used the same type of fishing gear.

The result was obvious: except for finally learning Su Ping's physical method of catching a Big Green Fish, they gained nothing.

As time went on, people from all sides tended to believe this was just a hobby, rather than some mysterious ritual or that Linyue Lake truly had anything strange about it.

Su Ping had long known about this through his rat swarm, and knowing the key to it, he simply pretended not to see.

Su Ping spent a day traveling between Water Blue Star and the Cultivation World, using up all his refreshed fishing attempts.

This time, the fishing attempts returned to normal, with 50 refreshes each.

Fortunately, the yield of Big Green Fish was steadily increasing.

Out of a total of 100 attempts, 40 Big Green Fish were produced!

Su Ping glanced at the information: 【Current Fishing Level: Level 3 (300/1000)】

【Warehouse: Small Green Fish 140, Big Green Fish 80】

"Hmm... let's do a ten-draw, just once!"

Su Ping spent 20 Big Green Fish to exchange for 100 Fishing Coins, and then exchanged them for a ten-draw.

Swish, swish, swish! After nine ordinary white lights flashed, Su Ping saw a purple light.

【Burial Ground, special building, quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Heaven, placing it can slightly increase the Spirit Qi output of the Dongtian】

"So it really only gives the guaranteed minimum?"

"It seems the gold pull from the first draw last time was likely the guaranteed drop for the Dongtian card pack?"

Su Ping silently complained about his luck, and noticing that this purple card could raise his upper limit, he hurriedly prepared to place it.

Su Ping then discovered that this Burial Ground was just a small hill covered with locust trees, with a few tombstones scattered in between.

The style didn't quite match the Yunlai Immortal Realm. But what Su Ping needed now was Spirit Qi concentration and upgrade experience for the Pot Heaven, so he couldn't care about aesthetics.

Placement successful!

A hill shrouded in faint mist and filled with yin energy appeared next to the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

After the hill took shape, blue Ghost Fires emerged one after another, and some Ghost Fires let out strange laughter, wanting to run out.

Suddenly!

Roar! The Cheng'e Pixie Stone Lion let out a low roar at the hill.

Immediately, all the Ghost Fires shrank by a circle and retreated back into the hill at a speed faster than when they came.

"The Spirit Qi concentration has reached 30; now the Spirit Qi of my Pot Heaven can rival the core area of a First-Tier High Grade Spiritual Vein."

"For those Cave Abodes in core areas, one needs at least three to four Spirit Stones a month to live there long-term."

"Moreover, the function of this Burial Ground actually gives me a small surprise."

【Burial Ground: After burying corpses, energy can be accumulated. Every twenty points of energy can summon one obedient ghost. Ghost limit: 5.】

"Bury corpses? There's no specific standard; using animal ones should work too, right?"

Thinking of this, Su Ping immediately tried it, bringing the carcasses of two fat pigs and throwing them into the Burial Ground.

After discovering there was no reaction, Su Ping thought of something and his heart stirred.

Suddenly, the White Crane Boy flew above the Burial Ground, first releasing a Fireball Technique to blast out a large pit.

Then he landed quickly, carrying a fat pig in each hand, threw them into the large pit, and activated the Earth-Shaking Technique to bury them.

Sure enough, saying it must bury corpses meant it had to bury corpses.

As the fat pigs were submerged by the soil.

The Burial Ground displayed that it had entered a satiated state and began to digest and accumulate energy.

"The digestion ability isn't great; it's already satiated, and it only accumulates one point of energy per hour?"

Su Ping shook his head slightly and looked at the remaining number of Big Green Fish: 60.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, thinking that the guaranteed drop also seemed capable of producing useful things, so he gritted his teeth and went for another ten-draw.

As the Big Green Fish count became 40, the light of the ten-draw appeared in Su Ping's mind.

It was the familiar nine ordinary items and one rare item.

However, this time Su Ping discovered that even a guaranteed rare item could be something useless! 【Dawn Castle, main building, quality: rare, exclusive to Pot Heaven, placement can slightly increase the Spirit Qi output of the Dongtian】

It looked like it could increase the Spirit Qi concentration again.

But the problem is... this is a main building, and at the current level, only one main building can be effective!

Furthermore, judging by the quality, this Dawn Castle cannot compare to the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion currently in use! "Mysticism cannot change bad luck, and spending money cannot change fate; I really shouldn't have forced the draw."

Not a single usable item from the ten-draw made Su Ping calm down a lot.

Su Ping left the Pot Heaven, and after coming out, his first order was to have Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui control a portion of the rat swarm to rush to the surroundings of Nine Leaves Mountain to scout the situation.

Although Su Ping still believed that the Yun Family's integrity would not cause trouble.

But the more intelligence he could grasp himself, the more at ease Su Ping could be.

Time gradually reached the evening.

The time for the Yun Family's Auction to be held was also approaching.

Su Ping put on a mask, changed into a brand-new Dharma Robe, and then wore several Storage Bags on his body, categorized by type.

With the Pot Heaven, Su Ping's need for Storage Bags had actually decreased a lot.

But when coming into contact with outsiders, he still had to carry them.
