After leaving the Feng Qianye Cave Mansion, Su Hao directly flew back to his own experimental base with his sword.
This trip yielded a lot, not only resolving all the doubts about breaking through the Nascent Soul realm, but also solving some lingering problems from before.
Feng Qianye’s attitude towards Su Hao was extremely good, as if there were no secrets between them, enthusiastic enough to make Su Hao think they were old friends with many years of acquaintance.
If it weren’t for suspecting some tricks after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, Su Hao would have to give Feng Qianye a label on his forehead – a good person!
“As I expected, the cultivation technique for breaking through the Nascent Soul realm has been modified and encrypted. Only the elders of the Nascent Soul realm know the decryption method. However, the results are mostly consistent with what I guessed.”
“Spiritual sense is indeed a bridge built for the connection between spiritual power and consciousness, and then through this bridge, consciousness and spiritual power are closely linked, and the radiation characteristics of spiritual power are used to greatly amplify the strength of consciousness, thus undergoing an overall transformation into spiritual sense!”
In essence, the results of practicing the Nascent Soul Heart Technique did not greatly amplify Su Hao’s spiritual power like the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core techniques did. There was an amplification, but it couldn’t be called a transformation.
In Su Hao’s view, it was just adding an amplifier called ‘spiritual power’ to the original consciousness! Like a signal booster, it suddenly expanded the signal range from just fifty meters to hundreds of meters away.
“However, the principle of using spiritual power to amplify consciousness can be integrated into my core perception runes. In the future, it won’t be as simple as tens of thousands of meters! Maybe it can radiate across a continent like satellite signals.”
Thinking of this, Su Hao laughed: “What’s the use of a large range? With too much information flooding in, my brain can’t fully receive it, and even if it does, it can’t process it. In the end, I still need Little Light’s help to analyze and search.”
At this stage, the detection range wasn’t the bigger the better, it had to be moderate.
It’s like looking up at the starry sky at night, where our naked eyes can easily take in most of the Milky Way. Can we say that our eyes can see scenes billions of light-years away?
That’s not wrong to say, but it’s not practical either. At most, you can marvel at how bright and shiny it is, what else can you do?
Similarly, if Su Hao couldn’t freely switch his perception within the detection range, and couldn’t receive and process all of it properly, even if his perception could encompass the entire planet, it would be useless.
However, thinking too much now was useless. The key was that Su Hao couldn’t possibly include the entire planet in his detection range. It was better to take it step by step and see what happens next.
After returning to the experimental base, Su Hao specifically checked the growth of spirit herbs in his medicine garden and found that their growth was mediocre, obviously lacking the vigor they had in the Sanhe Peaks Medicine Valley. They looked a bit wilted!
After checking the Yashan report data, Su Hao murmured, “Sure enough, they suffered great damage after traveling through space. According to Yashan’s test results, the medicinal properties have decreased significantly, and it seems that the environment here is not suitable for growing these spirit herbs!”
The Yunzhong Wangyue Valley where Su Hao was located was a basin grassland in the middle of a highland mountain range, which indeed had some differences from the fourth-level spring-like environment in the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peak.
If they were directly transplanted here, these spirit herbs would have been very ‘considerate’ if they collectively refused to grow on the second day.
Su Hao thought to himself: “It seems that I need to set up some barrier formations to isolate all the spirit herbs and use the ‘greenhouse vegetable’ technique to cultivate them! This technique is relatively simple, achievable, and with the abundance of spiritual stones now, supporting the construction of some greenhouses as experimental fields is not a problem.”
Then Su Hao quickly designed the formations and set up the experimental fields in three days. At this time, Yashan happened to bring three students over to inspect the medicinal fields. Seeing Su Hao there too, he couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised: “Boss Feng Wei, you’re out of seclusion! How come you have time to come and check the spiritual fields.”
Then seeing a thin layer of light curtain isolating the spiritual fields like a glass cover, he couldn’t help but be astonished: “Oh, Boss Feng Wei, are you planning to grow greenhouse vegetables? Why didn’t I think of that!”
Su Hao nodded: “Junior Brother Yue Ying, let’s try providing these spirit herbs with a more suitable environment for growth. In the future, your cultivation after advancing to the Golden Core realm will depend on them.”
Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping curiously asked: “Greenhouse vegetables? What’s that?”
At this time, Yashan and the three students were all wearing straw hats, long boots, holding small hoes in one hand, and carrying a bag of homemade fertilizer in the other.
Yashan smiled and explained: “There’s a gas in the air called carbon dioxide, which has a low absorption of shortwave and visible light emitted by the sun, but on the contrary, it has a strong absorption of longwave radiation emitted by the ground. When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the air temperature rises…”
Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping: “???”
What is Teacher Yue Ying talking about?
Seeing the three’s expressions, Yashan grinned and said, “Alright! Three days later, I’ll officially add a new subject for you guys, called Chemistry. I’ve also prepared the experimental equipment.”
Su Hao praised: “I didn’t expect you three to have made good progress in your studies! You’ve already reached the level of studying chemistry!”
Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping suddenly blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Regardless of their appearance, deep down, the three of them who were proud and self-proclaimed geniuses had their confidence shattered after nearly two years of studying with Yashan. Now, being praised by Su Hao face to face didn’t make them happy, but rather ashamed and embarrassed.
The three of them deeply realized that compared to Su Hao, they were like newborn infants, blank and ignorant!
No, not just compared to Su Hao, even compared to Yashan, they felt the same way.
The knowledge and ideas that the other casually brought out would take them a long time to digest, leaving them amazed and unable to refute.
Su Hao asked actively, “Junior Brother Yue Ying, how is your summary of the multiple nature transformation laws of spiritual power progressing?”
As soon as this topic was brought up, Yashan’s face lit up with excitement: “Boss Feng Wei, I’ve already thoroughly perfected the data collection tools last month. Now I’m reanalyzing the collected data, optimizing the embryonic form of the previous threefold basic formula, and in a while, I’ll be able to enter the stage of building the spiritual power transformation workbench. At most, in another year, we’ll be able to enter the testing phase, which means we’ll have basically succeeded!”
Su Hao said, “The progress is good! With more projects during this period, I need you to put in more effort.”
Yashan glanced at the three students and chuckled, “It’s alright, many simple chores don’t require my personal involvement anymore. These three guys have studied for two years and have some concepts of basic things, which can be useful.”
Feng Cheng and the others couldn’t understand at all what Su Hao and Yashan were talking about. Every word made sense, but when put together, it was like a foreign language. Hearing Yashan praise them as ‘useful’, they suddenly felt pleasantly surprised.
Originally, after being taught by them for nearly two years, they thought their foolishness was about to make Teacher Yue Ying lose patience with them, but they didn’t expect to still be in Teacher Yue Ying’s good graces.
Su Hao, in a rare good mood, said with effort, “Keep up the good work! True power lies in knowledge, and it’s definitely not something that so-called spiritual power can replace. The spiritual energy and spiritual power you dream of, as long as your knowledge reaches a certain level, are almost inexhaustible. And the strongest Unity cultivators can achieve it in an instant.”
Feng Cheng and the others thought to themselves, “Although we don’t know what Senior Brother Feng Wei means, we feel it’s amazing! No wonder he’s Senior Brother Feng Wei!”
Su Hao turned to Yashan and said, “I’ll send you the method to control the greenhouse formation later, that’s all for now.”
With that, Su Hao’s figure slowly disappeared in front of the three.
The three sighed, “This is truly divine technique, the flying we dreamed of back then was nothing compared to this.”
As Yashan looked at where Su Hao disappeared, he suddenly grinned and shouted excitedly in his heart, “It’s getting closer! My ‘Yue Lineage’s Spiritual Cultivation Method’ has already made progress. I have a feeling that in at most a year, my spiritual tentacles will be able to pry open space! By then, I’ll be able to come and go freely like Senior Wei. So cool!”
This piqued Feng Cheng’s curiosity as he asked, “Teacher Yue Ying, do you know the technique Senior Brother Feng Wei used to disappear suddenly?”
As soon as Feng Cheng asked, Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping immediately perked up, staring eagerly at Yashan, hoping for his answer.
If Yashan knew it too, did that mean there was a chance for the three of them to learn this technique of disappearing and reappearing at will?
Yashan jumped up and slapped Feng Cheng’s forehead, saying, “Can you ask such a personal question?”
Feng Cheng immediately covered his forehead, laughing awkwardly, “Just curious, just curious, hehe!”
Seeing the curiosity still lingering in the eyes of the three, Yashan waved his hand and said, “However, if you want to know, it’s not impossible, as long as…”
“As long as what?”
“For three months, the three of you take turns doing laundry and cooking for Senior Brother Feng Wei and me!”
Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping: “…”
Look at how Teacher Yue Ying said that. Aren’t these chores already being done by the three of them now?
Sigh, never thought that cultivating immortality would lead to doing laundry, cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning up in the end.
Isn’t this what servants in the family used to do?
