"Are you interested in trying your luck together?"

You Li suddenly looked at Han Yu with sparkling eyes.

She had traversed seventy percent of the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, only the southwestern area remained untouched.

At this moment in Qingzhou City, there was probably no cultivator who had stayed here longer than she had.

Many groups of people had come and gone, yet she remained.

Many more groups arrived, and still, she stayed.

Now, she truly couldn't stay idle anymore; if there were no gains in the southwest, it would be time to give up.

If a great opportunity couldn't be obtained even by this exhaustive method, then it wasn't worth forcing it.

Han Yu was stunned in place, one person searching seventy percent of the state prefecture—such perseverance was terrifying.

Doesn't this also indirectly indicate how important the Dragon Blood Stone is to her?

To the extent that she would turn the entire state prefecture upside down in such a laborious and unrewarding way?

"For others, the Dragon Blood Stone is a shortcut to advance further after reaching Divine Gaze Great Perfection, but for me, it may be the only remaining door to further advancement in the future."

You Li sighed faintly.

"Since childhood, I had the talent to multitask, and on the path of cultivation, it's as if I had divine assistance, but after breaking into the Divine Gaze Realm, I couldn't advance anymore."

Maybe multitasking is like a double-edged sword. From the Celestial Human Realm onward, while others were struggling to cross the first threshold of the cultivator's path, I had passed it with ease.

When opening up the Divine Spring, my speed was unmatched.

When building the Divine Bridge, I barely had time to appreciate the scenery at this realm before moving on hastily.

After reaching the Other Shore, I neither relied on being a Guardian at the Imperial Court to harness qi fortune, nor did I immerse in the mundane world to confirm my true heart; I merely closed off for three years and smoothly reached the Seeing Me Realm.

But upon reaching the Seeing Me Realm, problems began to appear. My progression slowed down, and the originally unstoppable cultivation speed seemed to hit obstacles.

It took me a full five years to break through the barrier, barely reaching the Divine Gaze Realm...

Han Yu listened intently, a strange look on his face—is this what she calls encountering obstacles?

Wouldn't that mean many people might as well have lived like dogs?

Think of those who finally broke into the Divine Gaze Realm in their old age, it seemed ridiculously easy for her.

Even Young Master Xiao, who traveled from east to west, wouldn't dare to boast like that.

"There's no comparison,"

The Artifact Spirit, nestled in the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly spoke.

"Under the great Dao, everyone is born with their own stakes; only the quantity differs. With gains come losses, every drink and bite is dictated by fate. Young Master Xiao is the kind who progresses with high strides, and Young Master Lin is no different."

"For them, it's like picking up money along the way, getting richer as they go, while most of the masses consume as they walk, leaving nothing for later."

"This girl is more peculiar; her stakes are high, but her expenses are greater. It seems she progresses rapidly, but in reality, she now finds herself at a standstill."

You Li sighed, her face full of melancholy.

"After reaching the Divine Gaze Realm, I find it nearly impossible to progress further. Elders have said that though my talent seems like a smooth path, it may become the greatest hindrance at a crucial step."

Initially, You Li did not believe this, but eventually, the drawbacks of multitasking started to emerge.

When merging spirit and flesh, she couldn't control her restless thoughts.

When her body was to transform into a furnace, refining her True Essence to perfection, it became hard to achieve, as the various cultivation techniques under her talent had their own wills and refused to unite into one.

These two initial thresholds alone cut off You Li's path upward. If she could proceed slowly, she could afford ten, twenty, or even thirty years.

But now, even time to endure has become incredibly luxurious.

"How can such a peculiar person exist?"

Han Yu clicked his tongue in wonder, secretly marveling. Doesn't this mean she set her life's end early on?

Without external help, the Divine Gaze Realm would be her endpoint.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. See more, experience more; under the great Dao, there exist all sorts of oddities, not just people like Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lin."

The Artifact Spirit quipped.

If Han Yu confined himself to Quantai Prefecture, maybe the Star Sect would be the sky above him.

If Han Yu stopped at Tianning Prefecture, perhaps the Qin Family would be the mountain he couldn't overcome.

If Han Yu halted at Yanbo Prefecture, wouldn't he also live in fear like other commoners?

Of course, all of these are imaginations without the Glazed Bottle for Han Yu.

But similarly, it invokes Han Yu's deep pondering.

As he moved along the way, from being weary and rushing for pills to handling matters with ease, what did he rely on?

Strength!

Without strength, pills were his death charm; once he became powerful, pills became the foundation for his continuous growth.

As the bottle revived, so too did his own strength grow continually.

If the bottle could be fully revived, how powerful would he become?

"So, work hard, stick with me, and we'll grow big and strong together."

Glass in the Sea of Consciousness waved its hands before resting its cheeks on them.

"Don't look down on these so-called geniuses being all high and mighty; they can't match your achievements."

Han Yu was surprised. Could the Artifact Spirit with its snarky mouth actually compliment him?

"Who else, at your age, would have a transcendent powerhouse eyeing you so eagerly to peel your skin and bones, worried you'd die too comfortably?"

——

Old man would surely peel his skin and bones, using the best medicine in the world to keep him hanging by a thread, never letting him die comfortably.

He must not be able to seek life nor death!

Luo Yuqi had boundless hatred hidden within his calm eyes.

And for this group of old guys, once I can break free, I will make your sects a complete mess.

He didn't have confidence in defeating everyone present, but he was sure to control all the disciples under their sects.

What does it matter what sect you belong to!

"I'm so scared."

The Great Elder suddenly spoke, and the other old men turned to him.

"If you still can't refine anything, I'll have to drink the soup again."

A large swath of Ginseng Skin was endlessly torn apart and thrown into the Alchemy Furnace, with all kinds of rare and precious Spirit Medicines being tossed in as if they cost nothing.

Even so, they had already failed several times.

If even this remaining Ginseng Skin doesn't work, they would probably have to think of another way.

"If you can't handle fire, at least stand aside and watch quietly, don't disturb our state of mind,"

The old men grumbled in discontent; repeated failures weighed heavily on their minds.

Yet this idle man could only rattle their nerves without realizing it.

"Rise! Everyone, extinguish the fire,"

Suddenly, an old man concentrated softly and shouted, everyone simultaneously withdrew their efforts, and the raging flames instantly subsided.

The large cover of the furnace was lifted by spiritual power, revealing a dozen or so black Pills inside.

The Great Elder eagerly surrounded them, his eyes alight.

The Pills, carefully guided by spiritual power, gradually floated out, and only when they had cooled in mid-air did someone speak.

"Whose turn is it to test the medicine?"

Everyone's gaze simultaneously fell on the Great Elder.

"Come! Come! Come!"

What is there to fear, can a transcendent powerhouse die from poison? Ridiculous! (Luo Yuqi: No, you have no idea about Pills)

He pointed to the void, and a black Pill floated toward him.

The Great Elder directly opened his mouth, allowing the Pill to fall into it.

Numerous transcendent powerhouses watched intently, waiting for the outcome.

"This!"

A few breaths later, the Great Elder's expression changed...
