Chapter 31: The Golden Finger on the Soul

【Fan Xian:?】

【Su Su Haoming: No way, I can't beat them!】

【Fan Xian: You misunderstood. I mean, are you only deciding to give up now?】

【Su Su Haoming:...】

【Fan Xian: Tell me, what hit you?】

【Su Su Haoming: What else could it be? Just now, I told my cousin the intelligence Lin Dage gave me. The moment he heard it, he immediately deduced the hiding place of the missing bride's corpse all the way from the Return-to-Life Incense. Every clue and detail matched exactly what Lin Dage said.】

【Fan Xian: Truly worthy of being Di Gong's disciple, indeed impressive!】

【Su Su Haoming: Impressive, right? Yet such an impressive disciple of Di Gong is merely a Chang'an County Commandant now!】

【Su Su Haoming: Just thinking about the court still having a bunch of old coins smarter than my elder brother makes me feel uncomfortable all over.】

【Fan Xian: So you want to become a monk?】

【Su Su Haoming: With the identity of a Daoist Priest, wouldn't it be strange if I knew Daoist arts?】

【Fan Xian: True...】

【Fan Xian: With your current power, you might even ask the Emperor for the position of Imperial Preceptor!】

【Su Su Haoming: Imperial Preceptor, huh...】

【Su Su Haoming: I never thought of that.】

【Lin Yu: I don't recommend you do that either.】

【Lin Yu: After all, you are not a lone wolf, nor are you rootless and sourceless. Rashly making big moves will easily implicate your friends and family.】

【Su Su Haoming: Mm, I understand.】

【Fan Xian: I was just joking...】

【Lin Yu: No, you don't understand.】

【Lin Yu: What I mean is, you don't need to risk using Su Su Haoming's identity.】

【Lin Yu: If you want to make big moves, just open a new avatar!】

【Su Su Haoming:... So that's what you meant.】

【Su Su Haoming: But I've lost interest in the court now. Rather than being stuck in the court, I'd rather travel the world with my cousin and others, just like in the original story, living freely among mortals!】

【Su Su Haoming: As for merit and fame, my current goal is to cultivate my body and refine my Qi, to attain the Dao and live forever!】

【Fan Xian: That's good too, playing to your strengths and avoiding weaknesses~】

【Su Su Haoming: Right!】

【Su Su Haoming: Besides, I've discovered there are quite a few good things in the Tang Gui world. If I encounter any while traveling the world, I'll bring them for Lin Dage to see; maybe they'll be useful?】

【Fan Xian:... Will they really be useful?】

【Lin Yu: Yes.】

【Lin Yu: I recall the Tang Gui world has many strange treasures and beasts, as well as divine artifacts like the Nine Great Strange Pearls.】

【Lin Yu: I do have some interest in things like that. If you can get your hands on them, you can make a deal with me.】

【Su Su Haoming: No, absolutely don't mention any deals.】

【Su Su Haoming: As long as Lin Dage wants it, I'll give it to you for free!】

【Lin Yu: That's not necessary...】

After a brief chat, Su Su Haoming closed the chat group and gazed with a somewhat complex expression in the direction his cousin had departed.

To speak his heart, when Di Gong initially refused to take him as a disciple, he felt a bit of jealousy toward his cousin Su Su Wuming.

But now, as he has grown older, he has gradually discovered the gap between himself and his cousin.

This gap stems from Su Su Wuming's keen insight into case details, which cannot be compensated for by a little knowledge from a past life.

In that case, forget it!

With the chat group, he doesn't need to follow in his elder brother's footsteps.

Before Lu Lu Lingfeng joins the team, let him become the sharp sword by his elder brother's side!

Upon thinking this, Su Su Haoming suddenly felt refreshed and clear-minded, as if the sky and earth had expanded.

Everything became so suddenly clear, as if he had entered a brand new world.

At the same time, the spiritual root within his body emitted a faint, glowing light.

The mana vortex in his dantian Qi sea accelerated its rotation, actually digesting all the food he had eaten in the castle previously, transforming it into a fresh flow of mana that surged into his Ren and Du meridians and his dantian Qi sea.

In an instant, a strong sense of hunger surged into his mind.

Su Su Haoming was slightly stunned, then rushed into the kitchen and swept away all the food he could see.

Once the hunger subsided slightly, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the mana vortex within his body, discovering that his mana limit had actually increased by about one-quarter all at once!

What is going on?

Su Su Haoming looked surprised and immediately opened the chat group to ask.

【Lin Yu: Oh?】

【Lin Yu: Something like this?】

【Su Su Haoming: Lin Dage, did you not expect this situation either?】

【Lin Yu: Not exactly.】

【Lin Yu: I was just unclear about what specific form it would take.】

【Su Su Haoming: What do you mean?】

【Lin Yu: It means that your souls themselves possess a certain special nature.】

【Lin Yu: I discovered this point when you implanted the spiritual roots, but at that time I was unclear what effects this special nature would bring, only that it would be beneficial to you.】

【Lin Yu: As for what happened to you, it should be that changes in your state of mind affected your soul and spiritual power, causing the traits of your spiritual power to become more aligned with the Wind-type spiritual root...】

【Fan Xian: Just like the so-called sudden enlightenment?】

【Lin Yu: Exactly!】

【Su Su Haoming: Sounds like a good thing.】

【Lin Yu: From the result's perspective, it is indeed a good thing.】

【Lin Yu: Moreover, for me, this is also a brand new discovery. Thanks, Little Su!】

【Su Su Haoming: Lin Dage is too polite; I should be the one thanking you!】

In the Frieren world, Lin Yu held the Holy Scripture, sat upright in a high-backed chair, and gazed at the Chat Group with a smile on his face.

As members of the Chat Group, the souls of Xiang Yunye and Su Su Haoming were deeply bound to the Chat Group.

Lin Yu himself was the same, but because his original consciousness was too vast, the Chat Group could not influence his will, thus failing to manifest any function other than chatting.

Only after Xiang Yunye and Su Su Haoming personally came before him did he belatedly realize that the Chat Group seemed not merely a chat terminal bound to the soul; it was itself a golden finger for the soul and spirit!

According to Lin Yu's observation, this thing removed the restrictions on the members' souls, raised the upper limit of spiritual power growth, and granted all members near-infinite inclusivity and possibilities.

Simply put, it bestowed upon the members supreme talents in soul and spirit.

As long as the body could meet the prerequisites, the members could cultivate almost any power system!

As for Su Su Haoming's state of sudden enlightenment just now, it was merely a tiny manifestation of such talent...

Indeed, nothing is more suitable than the Chat Group members to perfect this path of the extraordinary!

As the creator of this path of the extraordinary, Lin Yu looked forward to their future performance with great anticipation.

Of course, this did not mean he would stop the native experiments; after all, the members could only broaden the upper limit of this power system, unable to solve the threshold and lower limit problems for native creatures.

Therefore, the longevity experiments on native creatures continued.

In Lin Yu's expectation, the newborns of the Stone family were merely the first batch of cultivators; subsequently, more subjects would join them.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, all subjects of the Spine Peak Domain would embark on this path of cultivation, becoming a new race where everyone possessed immense power and a long life...

Of course, these were all matters for later!

Before the newborns of the Spine Peak Domain grew up healthily, Lin Yu could only focus his gaze on these little members.
