So that's how it is.

Wang Wu was truly ashamed of his limited experience, unaware that the Human Race had such regulations.

However, it seemed like a compromise to ensure birth rates. Otherwise, if all the female cultivators became fairies, who would bear children?

For a moment, he was genuinely tempted by Madam Yu's suggestion.

Because it was truly joyful, especially enhancing cultivation. His Acquired Cultivation System was indeed lacking; even after consuming ten Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills, there was no effect.

If only this kind-hearted lady could assist in his studies, perhaps he could eventually produce a key Spirit Pill in the future!

However, Wang Wu ultimately suppressed these thoughts, taking out an undamaged Array Stone and handing it to Madam Yu, "Madam, this is what I just replaced from the Five Elements Spirit Array. Have a look; is there any chance of repairing it?"

Madam Yu took it but didn't examine it closely, seeming to already understand it well.

"It can't be repaired. These Array Stones that can set up the Five Elements Spirit Array are exclusively supplied by the Immortal Alliance and can't be replicated externally. The Five Elements Spirit Array and Five Elements Spirit Pill are the foundation of the Immortal Alliance. Speaking of which, how could you restore the Five Elements Spirit Array and silently seize control of it without knowing these basic facts?"

"Of course, if you have your reasons, there's no need to explain. I am merely curious."

Wang Wu was silent for a moment, his face showing a somewhat confused expression, as if contemplating. Madam Yu, on the other hand, pricked up her ears curiously. She was indeed too curious; is he not human, not a demon, then what could he be?

"Actually, I don't know who I am either. I only remember that after a great battle, I lost many memories, and many people were chasing me. I've been fleeing, searching for the truth for over ten years, traveling across stretches of the West Wilderness, yet have found no clues."

"Speaking of which, I killed Young Master Yu earlier because I suspected he was chasing me. Well, his actions were indeed very suspicious..."

Wang Wu sighed deeply, while Madam Yu was dumbstruck. Amnesia? In what era is this still an excuse?

However, it's not impossible. She recalled a possibility and exclaimed.

"Could it be that you've been to the Black Forest!"

"Eh? How did you know?" Wang Wu was very surprised.

"Then that's right! There's a peculiar parasite called the Great Illusion King Insect in the Black Forest. It parasitizes within ancient trees. Its hallucinogenic poison can cause one's Divine Soul to become lost. Although I don't know if your symptoms are similar, it is indeed the only current explanation for your amnesia."

"So you don't know many basic facts yet can effortlessly repair the Five Elements Spirit Array according to its changes. Are you perhaps a master of arrays in the Immortal Alliance?"

Madam Yu was letting her imagination run wild, but that was what Wang Wu hoped for. Never mind, let her imagine as wildly as possible.

"None of this is important, and I can't just go to the Immortal Alliance to ask, so let it be. Madam, I take my leave now."

"Please, wait!"

Madam Yu suddenly stopped Wang Wu, hastily dashed out, then rushed back, hands holding two Spirit Pill Gourds and an unusual Small Tripod, which she thrust all together into Wang Wu's hands, a bit embarrassed, saying:

"Although I still don't know your name, I sense you are a gentleman as pure as jade, fully trustworthy. My mother, daughter, and I are already lonely in this world, saved by your kindness. I'd repay you even if it means being crushed to dust. These are my treasured twenty Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills, initially hoping for a chance to break into the Third Grade, but now I see there's no hope left."

"Now I pass them to you, along with this Small Tripod, a wedding gift from my family, excellent for refining Spirit Essence, immensely beneficial for cultivation. Please don't refuse."

Wang Wu, looking at Madam Yu, was a little touched but said nothing, nodded, and left. Yet the next moment, he hacked into the Five Elements Spirit Array, closely monitoring Madam Yu's every move.

He watched her for two days and nights, ensuring she indeed posed no problem and exhibited no abnormal intent to betray before finally relaxing slightly.

Well, this is due to She Shoujiu's careful teaching.

——

Three days later, Wang Wu didn't attend Madam Yu's remedial class.

It's not that he didn't trust Madam Yu as a tutor.

Rather, he planned to refine an Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill.

Using the Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills given by Madam Yu as a foundation, refining it with the perfectly operational Five Elements Spirit Array.

Truthfully, the Five Elements Spirit Array is truly miraculous. No wonder the Immortal Alliance imposes various restrictions—it truly represents top-tier production power.

"So now I have another goal. I must find a way to reverse-engineer the deployment array map of the Five Elements Spirit Array, so even if I leave here, I'll still be able to deploy it myself. This is indeed a strategic treasure."

Thinking this way, Wang Wu also multitasked, controlling the Five Elements Spirit Array, monitoring the internal and external situation of Jade Mountain Manor, including the Ten Thousand Poison Sect watchers outside, and internal figures like Madam Yu.

He wanted to ensure no interference.

Only then did he take out a Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill, placed it in the palm of his hand, slowly operating the Five Elements Spirit Array to deconstruct its power onto the spirit pill.

Soon, the Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill was indeed resolved and restored to its initial Spiritual Qi composition.

Truly, this is the miraculous aspect of the Five Elements Spirit Array and the Five Elements Spirit Pill. No wonder it can complement the heavens and enhance oneself. This goes beyond the usual conception of a spirit pill; it's a frequency of the natural operation of the heavens, and it resonates with the ultimate truths of nature.

Of course, this resonance at most is like a small wisp of firefly light, illuminating a small spot, yet it already has such a wondrous effect.

Wang Wu silently comprehended, sensed, and managed, replenishing the lacking Spiritual Qi on the spot.

Until the Five Aggregates were complete, and the Unity of the Five Spirits was achieved.

Like the colors and vitality of the world, all converging together, illuminating everything. It's like the light of the Great Dao, shining directly onto Wang Wu's soul.

For a moment, it was dreamlike; the next second, he was eternally plunged into the abyss of darkness.

He awoke,

But the pill has been successfully formed!

An unremarkable, Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill appeared in Wang Wu's palm.

Although this is just one grade higher than the Ninth Grade, there is actually a gap as vast as a hundred Ninth-Grade pills in between.

This, was Wang Wu's true strategic intention for staying at Jade Mountain Manor.

This is even more brutal than Madam Yu's supplementary classes!

Without the willingness to consume it immediately, Wang Wu first checked the records of the Five Elements Spirit Array, specifically inspected those array stones, and, as he expected, he found that all the array stones' consumption had increased.

Specifically, if he were to refine one Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill every day, in twenty days, the entire Jade Mountain Manor would run out of arrays.

"But then, the Immortal Alliance would be the first to explode, because this means there is a mysterious person capable of crafting Five Elements Spirit Pills outside their control. If it turns out to be me, haha! The entire Human Race in the Cultivation Realm would be in an uproar!"

Wang Wu chuckled, how many Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators does the Immortal Alliance have?

I don't know.

Anyway, the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance is only responsible for dealing with the West Wilderness Demon Race.

From small insights, one can guess.

But the West Wilderness Demon Race hasn't had a Demon Emperor for two or three thousand years.

The South Wilderness, however, has two Demon Emperors presiding.

What about the North Wilderness, the East Wilderness, and the Sea Sirens of the Four Seas?

"I mustn't act recklessly, after refining nine more Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills, I need to stop."

As soon as he thought this, Wang Wu suddenly had a subtle feeling, so his expression changed immediately.

"No, refine two more, just enough is best, more is too much!"

His danger perception never fails.

Next, Wang Wu continued to refine two more Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills.

At this point, when sensing the Five Elements Spirit Array again, it was just right, unnoticeable.

Indeed, these miraculous items have the power to seize the work of creation.

After a few days of rest, Wang Wu adjusted his status.

He then consumed an Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill, activating it by running Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi.

Then he once again experienced what was called a storm, what was called an earth-splitting sky-collapse, what was called lightning and thunder, what was called turbulent waves!

The Ninth Grade was just like a lovely big sister.

The Eighth Grade directly summoned the Iron Lady army...

Wang Wu thought that after his last reform, the acquired cultivation system was already decent, but it turned out that it was not enough!

His aptitude was still too poor, too useless, too clumsy!

Either let the power of the innate bloodline retreat again, expanding territory and coverage to bear the quality.

Or, he must undergo nirvana himself!

Wang Wu could no longer allow the innate system to make concessions, because half had already been given away, reform doesn't mean changing everything, the basic state policies must remain!

However, his Ice and Fire Spirit Root was about to be torn apart by this Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill.

It's too ferocious.

But he must endure it, this is a tribulation, this is a critical juncture, this is the battlefield, it's the life and death line of either cultivating or dying!

No one can help him, not even attending Madam Yu's supplementary classes will work now.

Either retreat, or break through the encirclement!

At this moment, one of Wang Wu's eyes was calm, the other was blood-red, half of his body was calm, the other half ferocious!

This is still a part of the reform, it should be considered the deep-water zone, he felt he was about to split, he wanted to activate the Heart of the Earth, but he understood even more that the unity of the innate and acquired must be built on both possessing relatively equal power.

He must have a desperate determination, willing to be crippled in half of his body rather than give up.

Like a caged giant dragon, Wang Wu gritted his teeth, half of his body was about to explode, the other half turned into an iron-walled cage.

And his Ice and Fire Spirit Root was like a pair of small boats, struggling to survive in the angry sea.

Running the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, running the Ice and Fire Talismans, every round of spiritual energy circulation felt like a journey through hell.

The power of the Eighth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill swept through here.

Until his Ice and Fire Spirit Root was finally torn with fissures, his cultivation foundation was about to be destroyed.

More than thirty years of effort, diligent cultivation, could very well turn to dust today.

Shall I continue?
