Chapter 49: Walking Away Gently, Without Taking a Single Cloud

Su Ping was very satisfied with Zhou Xuan's heart for the Dao.

However, Su Ping was not willing to easily agree to the request to continue practicing in the Yunlai Immortal Realm.

It was not because he was jealous that Zhou Xuan's aptitude was higher than his own had been.

Don't look at the fact that Zhou Xuan's aptitude was at least a Middle Grade Spiritual Root; Su Ping now possessed the Ten Directions Annihilation Body, so his aptitude would only be higher! Plus, he could cultivate by taking pills and continue Fishing to improve his aptitude.

To be honest, Su Ping was not at all worried that one day he would be unable to suppress the little Daoist Zhou Xuan!

It was just that Su Ping knew that people never cherish things that are too easy to obtain.

Thinking back, after he had brought Qi into his body, he had to start working for the Immortal Sect to earn Spirit Stones.

The Immortal Sect does not raise useless people!

The Cloud Coming Immortal Sect he founded on Water Blue Star would naturally be the same!

Su Ping spoke kindly to Zhou Xuan: "You have already brought Qi into your body and can be considered a Cultivator who has made Entry; how can you be so impatient?"

"You must know that an impatient heart is a great taboo in cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan felt as if he had been enlightened, and he hurriedly bowed and nodded in thanks.

Zhou Xuan, who already trusted Su Ping one hundred percent, took every word Su Ping said as truth to be believed.

"During this time, I will leave you books related to Talismans, alchemy, artifact refining, and Arrays; you can read them carefully by channeling your Dharma Power into your eyes."

"Once you have read these books until you know them by heart, think them over carefully."

"When we go to the Yunlai Immortal Realm next time, we shall see how much of the skill in the books you have learned."

Su Ping paused here, watched Zhou Xuan nod repeatedly, and then continued:

"Kid, study hard!"

"Since you have this connection with me through the East King Temple, I have high hopes for you!"

"Keep this Spirit Stone safe; when your Dharma Power is insufficient, hold it in both hands and circulate your cultivation technique to slowly recover your Dharma Power."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly agreed, moved beyond measure.

At this moment, besides his ambition for cultivation and Changsheng, Zhou Xuan felt that there was an extra weight of expectation and trust from an elder on his shoulders! This trust was precious and as heavy as a thousand jun! Afterward, after Su Ping left the relevant books in the hall and placed a crystal-clear Spirit Stone for Zhou Xuan to replenish his Dharma Power, he laughed heartily and walked out the door.

These books were all written in Immortal script.

In the eyes of mortals, they were just ghost-drawn talismans.

He was not afraid that if they were accidentally seen by outsiders, it would cause some massive storm.

Su Ping had completed the experiment of inviting an outsider into the Pot Heaven and was in no hurry to return to the Cultivation World.

Instead, he took the mobile phone provided by the little Daoist Zhou Xuan and began a long journey.

Yushu City was just a small city near the mountains.

Having too many anomalies concentrated here was simply too conspicuous.

And because of the previous Red Blood Rainbow Carp incident, even the news media chose to handle it coldly.

Su Ping was still very clear that this place had definitely fallen into the eyes of some interested parties.

There was no need for him to increase the difficulty of his low-profile approach now!

He cast an Invisibility Spell and put on an Illusion Jade Pendant to change his height and appearance in the eyes of outsiders.

Su Ping then read an Array book while hitching a ride, going from the neighborhood where the East King Temple was located to the station.

And from the station, he headed to another city.

Traveling along the way, Su Ping noticed that most small cities still maintained their original appearance.

The internal structure of large cities, however, had quietly undergone earth-shaking changes.

The transport of large-scale goods in many big cities had become completely intelligent and unmanned, moving back and forth through dedicated underground pipelines, which, combined with an unmanned-focused public transport system, greatly reduced the traffic pressure on the ground.

Even the intelligent "Heavenly Eye" systems of the big cities had been fully formed.

This made Su Ping, after much thought at the station, decide that it was safer to go to those small and medium-sized cities that had not kept up with the times. Su Ping headed toward the small and medium-sized cities in the southwest; every time he arrived in a city, he would stop briefly to release the Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui to subdue a group of rats with spiritual intelligence.

Then he would use these rat swarms to gather information and find people worth fooling...

Ahem... it was to find people who had an Immortal Fate with the Yunlai Immortal Realm! During this period, Su Ping also tested Wen Birds, cats, and dogs.

He discovered that while they could deter the group when present, it was only deterrence, not submission.

They could not command the groups to do big things.

Su Ping could only guess that this might be related to the Wen Bird's low intelligence, while large animals like cats and dogs had too much subjective initiative?

Just like how he himself was transcendent, yet he could only make mortals feel that this Daoist was very handsome and had a great temperament...

Su Ping had actually pondered whether he could find some insects.

It just seemed that the smaller the creature, the lower the possibility of possessing spiritual intelligence.

As for ordinary insects with spiritual intelligence, let alone on Water Blue Star, he had never even heard of them in the Cultivation World.

The Spirit Insects in the hands of those Cultivators who were good at playing with bugs were rumored to have been bred by their ancestors generation after generation.

Whether the first generation of Spirit Insects was natural or man-made, no one could say for sure.

Three days later.

Su Ping stopped in a small town near the border.

After trying the local snacks, Su Ping sent out the Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui as usual to begin recruiting a rat swarm.

Xiaobai and Xiaohui had been living the high life while following Su Ping during this time, and they could even undergo special training with the White Crane Boy in the Pot Heaven.

Their growth in strength could only be described as rapid.

Now, Xiaobai and Xiaohui's cultivation was equivalent to that of a Spirit Beast at the Qi Refining Second Layer, and their control ability and upper limit over the rat swarm had also increased significantly.

Under their guidance, every time they recruited a rat swarm now, they would no longer cause such a big scene as before.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! After leaving behind one hundred rats with Immortal Fate, Xiaobai stood on its hind legs and called out a few times, and a large group of rats in a dense forest scattered like a tide.

Afterward, Xiaobai and Xiaohui began to enlighten the spiritually intelligent rats with ease and distributed food to them to soothe their hearts.

Once he was finished with his tasks, it wasn't long after he let these mice disperse.

Su Ping discovered some interesting things happening nearby through the connection between Xiaobai and the mouse swarm.

In a farmhouse that the scattered mouse swarm happened to pass by on the outskirts of the small town.

There was, shockingly, a group of people inside holding an adults-only party.

This group was in the midst of some increasingly disgusting frenzy, which made it clear to Su Ping at a glance that they were a group of hopeless illegal drug users.

However, what caught Su Ping's attention was that as he sent Spirit Mouse Xiaobai deeper inside to get a better look, it detected something in the walk-in closet and some hidden compartments of the house.

It shockingly discovered several long and short guns along with a large amount of matching ammunition.

Clearly, this group had major issues, and the situation ran deep.

But, no matter how deep it ran, this was still a world without the extraordinary.

After Su Ping confirmed that the farmhouse only had two surveillance cameras turned on at the main entrance and no surveillance elsewhere.

Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui went into action and confiscated these people's weapons for committing crimes.

Afterwards, Spirit Mouse Xiaobai quietly darted out from a sofa, observed for a while, then moved quickly to swipe a mobile phone that had been left on a small stool with its camera function turned on.

"Hmm?"

The bald man on the sofa, limp and drunk, squinted his eyes and muttered, but then felt he had just seen things wrong and slumped back down, snoring.

Xiaobai got the phone, immediately turned off the camera function, and began editing a text message to send to all the law enforcement departments in the vicinity that could be found online.

Even... feeling that it wasn't convincing enough, it also sent a short video clip that the phone had previously recorded.

After finishing all this, Xiaobai ran out of the farmhouse, crunched the meritorious phone into pieces, buried it in the soil in the woods, and then turned around...

Walking away lightly, without leaving behind a single cloud! (End of chapter)
