Chapter 264: Her man is truly incredibly incredibly awesome!!!

It just loses half a star for no reason, it just loses half a star for no reason.

Who can withstand this?

Good fellow, it used to rise quickly, but I didn't expect it to fall even faster!!

In less than half a day, a whole star just disappeared……

This matter has made Lu Yuan unable to eat.

At the same time, Su Liyan has been wholeheartedly practicing the Azure Lotus given by her man.

Sun Hanhua has been monitoring Su Liyan's spiritual power fluctuations, and if any disturbance appears, Sun Hanhua will immediately stop Su Liyan.

However……

What happened next caught Sun Hanhua somewhat off guard.

In Sun Hanhua's eyes, this thing Lu Yuan made is bound to have problems.

I just don't know whether it will be a big problem or a small problem.

But soon Sun Hanhua discovered that Su Liyan not only had no problems at all, but…… her spiritual power fluctuations were extremely active.

Sun Hanhua often stays with Su Liyan, after all, only the two of them are on the main peak, and neither of them particularly likes to go elsewhere; whenever there's nothing going on, they stick together all day.

Su Liyan practically practices beside Sun Hanhua every day, and Sun Hanhua is extremely familiar with her spiritual power fluctuations.

As for Su Liyan's current situation, let alone any problems, it can even be said to be much stronger than before.

Could it be…… it actually works?!!

Looking at Su Liyan before him, Sun Hanhua began to doubt life a bit.

This…… this is impossible……

How can a mere Qi Refining cultivator casually modify a top-tier heart method…… and moreover…… succeed?

Is…… is it successful, right? It won't be some illusion, will it?

While Sun Hanhua was doubtful, something even more incomprehensible happened.

At this moment, points of golden light threads appeared in the radiance emanating from Su Liyan's body.

Sun Hanhua knows very well what this is; it's called Perfection.

So-called Perfection is the situation that arises when a cultivator's understanding of something reaches the utmost extreme.

And for a cultivator to achieve the utmost extreme in understanding something, besides the cultivator needing exceptional talent, the most important thing is that the thing being understood must also be completely correct and able to be put into practice.

One could say that Perfection is the opposite of Deviation.

Watching those golden light threads swirling over Su Liyan's body, Sun Hanhua was completely dumbfounded.

Not only did it not deviate, but rather it became Perfection……

This…… this Lu Yuan……

It's all true……

This is all true…… everything Su Liyan said before was true.

Her man is truly incredibly incredibly awesome!!!

While Sun Hanhua was completely shocked, Lu Yuan beside her was thinking about how to quickly stabilize Sun Hanhua's star level.

Don't let it drop any further.

If it drops, there'll really be nothing left.

Sun Hanhua is an alchemist, but to be honest, my own alchemy isn't that strong.

What Lu Yuan said wasn't that strong; it's just compared to my other skills.

After all, Lu Yuan only recently obtained the Divine Alchemy.

Moreover, I haven't had time to practice it; among the things Lu Yuan knows, this Divine Alchemy isn't that strong.

But although this thing isn't strong compared to my other skills, if compared to outsiders……

With the example of the Dao Heart, Lu Yuan feels that even if he hasn't really studied this Divine Alchemy, it's still much stronger than most people in this cultivation world.

Sun Hanhua isn't some alchemy grandmaster either; I'm definitely stronger than her.

Given that, if I want to get on good terms with Sun Hanhua, I definitely need to cater to her preferences.

After thinking, I should start from the alchemy aspect.

While Lu Yuan was gazing at Sun Hanhua, thinking.

Sun Hanhua also looked toward Lu Yuan, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

Sun Hanhua really can't figure out why Lu Yuan can be like this.

A mere Qi Refining cultivator actually managed to improve the Azure Lotus.

These are just the visible benefits; there are also those invisible benefits.

Has the Azure Lotus's ability become stronger?

Is the absorption and refinement of spiritual power from heaven and earth faster?

These are invisible.

This is truly, truly astonishing; it completely shatters Sun Hanhua's worldview.

For a moment, Sun Hanhua recalled all the times Su Liyan had said how amazing her man was, and now Sun Hanhua fully believed it.

Moreover, this belief now is different from before.

Before, Sun Hanhua didn't understand what Su Liyan said, but believed her simply because she thought Su Liyan wouldn't lie to her, so she believed.

To be precise, it was belief in Su Liyan.

But now, Sun Hanhua's belief comes entirely from what she herself has seen, witnessed firsthand.

Now Sun Hanhua's belief is unwavering, it is belief in Lu Yuan.

At this moment, seeing Sun Hanhua look toward him, Lu Yuan quickly thought and then said:

"That... Senior Sister... you don't seem to be from the Linglan Sword Sect, huh?"

Lu Yuan opened the system, speaking while carefully observing Sun Hanhua's star level above his head, afraid that any word might upset Sun Hanhua and cause him to drop a level.

After all, this woman's star level rises quickly and drops just as fast.

Lu Yuan's words brought Sun Hanhua back to his senses, after which he slightly nodded and said:

"Yes, I'm from the Medicine King Sect."

Lu Yuan, seeing Sun Hanhua agree, was about to say something more when he suddenly noticed Sun Hanhua's head.

Four stars suddenly turned directly into five stars.

Lu Yuan: "????"

What are you playing at?!

What are you messing around?!

What the hell is this?!

Is the system bugging out?!

Lu Yuan has been here for almost a year relying on this system, and though he's met all sorts of people, nobody has been as outrageous as Sun Hanhua.

It's like his star level is just playing around.

Not to mention changing daily, this guy's level changes every few hours!

Now Lu Yuan is really full of question marks—why did Sun Hanhua's star level suddenly go up again?!

This is just too much playing around!

Why does just saying a word to Sun Hanhua raise his star level...

Could it be that hardly anyone talks to Sun Hanhua...

So... does my talking to her cause it to rise?

Lu Yuan really had a black line across his face, completely unable to figure it out.

But after thinking it over, he decided it didn't matter—these were just superficial; as long as he catered to her preferences, the star level should stabilize.

Immediately, Lu Yuan looked at Sun Hanhua and quickly said:

"Senior Sister, I also know pill refining; shall we exchange and learn from each other?"

Sun Hanhua was startled, then glanced at Lu Yuan and blinked; this wasn't too surprising to her, since Lu Yuan had previously asked for medicinal herbs.

Afterwards, Sun Hanhua repeatedly nodded and said softly:

"Okay."

After saying that, Sun Hanhua immediately stood up and walked toward the outer hall.

Lu Yuan glanced at his wife, unable to finish things quickly, so he also got up and followed Sun Hanhua toward the outer hall.

On the way to the hall, Lu Yuan also asked about Sun Hanhua's situation.

After a few words, Lu Yuan figured it out.

Oh~

This is basically an exchange student situation.

Just like exchange students at universities on Earth.

After they arrived at the hall, Sun Hanhua first summoned her cauldron.

Lu Yuan had seen this cauldron before—it's a huge, entirely jade-green furnace, looking as if carved from a massive piece of beautiful jade, especially beautiful.

This is under normal conditions; if the furnace were burning with fierce fire inside, it would be even more beautiful.

Then Lu Yuan also summoned his furnace, the Bagua Furnace!

With a "Duang" muffled thud, an ancient, simple black cauldron instantly appeared beside Sun Hanhua's cauldron.

Compared to Lu Yuan's Bagua Furnace, Sun Hanhua's cauldron suddenly seemed small and cute, especially when the two were placed together.

Lu Yuan's Bagua Furnace isn't particularly good-looking—it's entirely black, covered with all sorts of messy inscriptions; not pretty, but absolutely imposing.

As soon as the Bagua Furnace was brought out, Sun Hanhua was immediately attracted to it.

The importance of a pill-refining cauldron for pill refiners and artifact refiners goes without saying.

A good cauldron provides an absolutely exaggerated boost for pill refiners and artifact refiners.

This thing is like a cultivator's heart technique, or an immortal skill.

It is indispensable and especially important.

And when the Bagua Furnace was brought out, Sun Hanhua sensed that Lu Yuan's pill-refining furnace was very different.

It carried profound, hard-to-understand spiritual power fluctuations, letting Sun Hanhua instantly recognize it as extraordinary.

Even, Sun Hanhua felt that even her master's Nine-tier Imperial Dragon Cauldron might not be as formidable as Lu Yuan's this cauldron.

Immediately, Sun Hanhua looked at Lu Yuan in slight astonishment and said:

"This cauldron...... seems...... very powerful."

Lu Yuan is just a Qi Refining stage pill refiner, right?

Sun Hanhua still thought Lu Yuan wanted to ask her for pill-refining advice, assuming that even if he wasn't a total novice, he couldn't be that strong.

But once this cauldron came out, Sun Hanhua realized she was mistaken.

Of course, most importantly...

Such a powerful cauldron...

This Lu Yuan...... where did he come from??

Was it given by Ji Lingxiao?

Sun Hanhua could only think that, but upon further thought it didn't seem right—this is stronger than her master's pill-refining cauldron, so how could the Linglan Sword Sect have such a thing...

Lu Yuan, hearing Sun Hanhua's words, was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and said:

"Still okay, still okay."

Afterwards, Lu Yuan looked at Sun Hanhua beside him curiously and said:

"That senior sister, since you encountered a bottleneck and can't advance, you've been at the Linglan Sword Sect for five years—has your bottleneck gotten better?"

Sun Hanhua hearing Lu Yuan's words couldn't help but startle a little; being called "older sister" by Lu Yuan felt somewhat novel.

And after Sun Hanhua came to her senses, hearing Lu Yuan's words, she blinked.

Her bottleneck had loosened somewhat over the past few months, and the reason for this loosening was Lu Yuan.

Especially……just now, after fully believing that Lu Yuan was the kind of person Su Liyan spoke of.

Sun Hanhua felt her bottleneck loosen even more.

Sun Ranhua blinked, looking at Lu Yuan and said softly:

"Better now."

Lu Yuan nodded, then said:

"That I'll make an elixir for you, elder sister; after you take this elixir, you'll be able to break through the bottleneck."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, his heart stirred, and the Six Ding Divine Fire instantly rose in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Even the mighty Eight Trigrams Furnace could not fully contain the heat of the Six Ding Divine Fire, and the surrounding temperature instantly rose by seven or eight degrees.

Lu Yuan originally intended to make this bottleneck-breaking elixir.

Over the past three months, my second wife has been cultivating with the heart method left by Ji Lingxiao, and Lu Yuan hasn't been idle either; in the outer sect disciples' box, there are some most basic books.

Those books discuss the most basic matters of the cultivation world.

It's just like the beginner's tutorial of some game.

Lu Yuan read them all, and thus also gained some understanding of this cultivation world.

The bottleneck is basically considered one of the greatest enemies of cultivators.

Another is the heavenly tribulation.

Heavenly tribulation and bottleneck are the biggest problems hindering cultivators' advancement.

Heavenly tribulation is easier to talk about; basically, cultivators will surely encounter heavenly tribulation during the stages of tribulation crossing, ascension, quasi-emperor, and emperor.

As long as they endure it, they can continue to advance their realm.

But the bottleneck is not so easy to say.

This thing can appear in any realm.

However, there are traces to follow; generally, when cultivators begin to feel lost and confused, the bottleneck appears.

This kind of thing is still easy to understand.

Let's not talk about cultivators, but ordinary mortals: after graduating from university, regarding their future prospects.

After marriage, regarding planning for their future life.

And all sorts of other messy things; these will produce confusion.

However, it's not a big deal for mortals to feel lost; they just need to think it over and let it go.

But if cultivators encounter a bottleneck, it becomes somewhat troublesome.

Because once a bottleneck appears, no matter how talented or stunningly gifted this person is, their realm will not increase even a bit.

Often there are such super-geniuses who fall into a bottleneck at a certain realm, stuck in distress, staying there for decades, centuries, or even millennia.

Some super-geniuses cannot escape the bottleneck and even die of old age directly; this has indeed happened.

For example, like my wife, that kind of super-genius, encountered a bottleneck in the Nascent Soul realm, and after a thousand years unable to break free, died of old age in the Nascent Soul realm.

You say, does this count as a wrongful death?

Therefore, to avoid such occurrences, Lu Yuan, after obtaining the "God's Elixir Refining", began researching elixirs to break through the bottleneck.

The bottleneck thing, elixirs are really not easy to make for it.

Just as just said, when mortals encounter distress and confusion, they need to figure it out themselves.

Cultivators are the same; they also need to figure it out themselves.

Elixirs aren't very effective.

However, Lu Yuan researched for so long and still managed to develop an elixir usable for breaking through the bottleneck.

Although Lu Yuan has never actually refined it to test the effect, he still feels it will be useful.

And Sun Ranhua beside him was completely stunned.

With a dazed look, he looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"Is there an elixir that can help cultivators break through the bottleneck?"

"This... this is a cultivator's heart ailment; elixirs don't work on it..."

At this moment, Lu Yuan, while taking out the medicinal herbs Sun Ranhua had just given him, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Why wouldn't it work."

Even if it's a heart ailment, you can still take medicine.

Just like mental patients on Earth, they need to rely on medicine to get better, right?

So, using elixirs to treat the bottleneck is fine.

The next second, without waiting for Sun Ranhua to ask anything else, Lu Yuan dumped all the prepared medicinal herbs into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Sun Ranhua beside him basically had a face full of question marks.

This...

What kind of elixir-refining technique is this!!

Even when cooking, you don't just dump everything in all at once!

Thanks to Elder Brother Sleep God Like Wind for the 1500 book coins reward, thank you very much~

Thanks to Ranran Yunyang, Yidian Xiao Wenrou, the two older brothers' 100 book coins reward, thank you very much~
