**Chapter 555: The Host May Slouch, but It’s Highly Unlikely**
*Ding! The host is really… just way too real. Ling Feng has successfully taken down the Child of Destiny, Zhu Ganglie, earning Luck Points +9988 and a whiff of Immortal Qi.*
Bai Feng: “……”
Listen up, system, if you’re out of words, just stop popping up!
Wait a second, what’s this precious gift from the esteemed system? A whiff of Immortal Qi?
Bai Feng squinted at the system pop-up, rubbed his eyes, and leaned back slightly—hold up, can they really gift Immortal Qi?
But seriously, what’s the point of Immortal Qi?
He stared at the two characters for Immortal Qi—do I need to claim this reward now? What if it just floats away as soon as I pull it out?
Wait, don’t I have my little helper? Let’s just ask that little assistant!
So he clicked on the system, found the option for ‘Artificial Intellegence for Dummies,’ and punched in his question.
*Immortal Qi — the item most coveted by cultivators in the Tribulation Stage. There’s a rumor among them that the more Immortal Qi you absorb, the higher your chances of successfully transcending into immortals. However, they don’t realize that those capable of successfully absorbing Immortal Qi, based on their talent, could transcend without needing it at all.*
*Furthermore, cultivators below the Tribulation Stage can also “absorb” Immortal Qi through other means. For instance, some Immortals have created Enlightenment Arrays that temporarily enhance the comprehension and cultivation speed of the cultivators within.*
Bai Feng skimmed through it and focused on ‘Enlightenment Array’—too bad, though; he couldn’t find any memory of that array. It probably got lost during all these years of closure in the Immortal World.
Does he really have to farm some Child of Destiny to gamble on it… No, no, that thought’s too dangerous. He’s just slouching; he isn’t trying to end his life here.
*Ding! The host may slouch, but it’s highly unlikely! Ling Feng has again eliminated the Child of Destiny, Yang Dianfeng, earning Luck Points +9998 and an Enlightenment Array!*
“……”
System, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—forget it. I’ll let it slide since you gave the Enlightenment Array.
Speaking of which, has the Southern Region started a war already? How is Ling Feng taking down two Children of Destiny one after the other?
Bai Feng grumbled internally, but he hadn’t heard any news, and neither He Yi nor You Su Rong Rong from the Monster Tribe had messaged him. This looked like a repeat of the last time—only a small-scale conflict, coincidentally bumping into two Children of Destiny.
But still, he reached out to He Yi, You Su Rong Rong, and the perpetrator Ling Feng just to double-check, and he tapped into the Southern Region’s monitoring Image Retainers for a glance.
As he guessed, this incident was a continuation of the last conflict. However, these two Children of Destiny weren’t part of the big demons’ crew; they clashed with Ling Feng in a Secret Realm and later sought out the Monster King to participate in an assassination attempt on Ling Feng.
Bai Feng was at a loss for words. From what he gathered, the two Children of Destiny took down by Ling Feng were not exactly the model citizens. They were like protagonists from mindless stories—greedy, self-serving, troublemakers, and a tad arrogant. It wasn’t surprising they clashed with Ling Feng in the Secret Realm.
“Forget it; I’ll just learn the Enlightenment Array first.”
Bai Feng shook his head. First things first, he needed to boost his own power.
…
“Senior Sister, are you there?”
Bai Feng knocked on Yu Yao’s door, and it swung open quickly, revealing a tiny head peeking from behind.
Then, she yanked him inside without a warning.
“You sure know how to get me in trouble!” Yu Yao climbed onto him, wrapping her arms around his head and shaking it vigorously. “Are you trying to wear me out?”
“Sorry, sorry.” Bai Feng chuckled as he gently set the flailing Yu Yao down. “By the way, doesn’t Yu Linglong have a lot of employees? You don’t have to do everything yourself, right?”
“No way! This concerns the Siku Family; I can’t trust anyone else!” Yu Yao shook her head and then looked up at Bai Feng, softly grinding her teeth. “This time, you must compensate me well.”
“Sure, sure.” Bai Feng nodded with a smile. “Actually, I have some good news to share with you, Senior Sister.”
“What news? Don’t tell me it’s more merchandise?” Yu Yao raised an eyebrow. “Although I do like making money, it’s not like I’m that obsessed—can’t you let me rest for a few days?”
“No, it’s about cultivation.”
Bai Feng noticed Yu Yao’s cultivation was still stuck at the Transformation God Stage. While her talent was decent, she lagged behind compared to the Children of Destiny and others like the lucky Little Qi with Dragon Clan bl**d. Unsurprisingly, her cultivation was falling behind.
“Cultivation?” Yu Yao blinked. “Did you master pill-making and conjure up an Immortal pill?”
“Nope.” Bai Feng shook his head. “I just got my hands on a rather special array that boosts comprehension and cultivation speed while you’re in it.”
“Oh… huh?” Yu Yao began to scrutinize Bai Feng—this sounded pretty close to making Immortal pills!
Comprehension wasn’t exactly a walk in the park to enhance. Sure, some pills could assist breakthroughs with the Break Wall Pill or speed up spirit energy refinement, but comprehension? That was hard to come by; even the few pills that could enhance comprehension were rare and tough to make.
“But there are limitations.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao nodded. She figured there had to be some restrictions on something that could boost comprehension; otherwise, it wouldn’t be balanced.
“It can only accommodate twelve people at most, and the array only lasts for a month.”
“Wait… hold up, what did you just say?”
Yu Yao’s eyes went wide—was this really a limitation? This is practically nothing!
Oh, she realized; it must be that the effect on comprehension isn’t that great, and maybe the more people there are, the lower the effect!
“Something about comprehension I haven’t tested yet; they say it’s akin to the effects of insights, and it won’t diminish just because more people are involved.”
After hearing this, Yu Yao pondered for a few seconds, then reached out a tiny hand to touch Bai Feng’s forehead: “Weird, no fever? What’s going on with this kid having a sudden lapse in sanity?”
Bai Feng: “……”
Looking at his serious expression, she halted her actions and cautiously asked, “Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“Yikes…” Yu Yao gasped, her face full of shock. “You didn’t really dig up an Immortal’s cave, did you?”
“Of course not! Senior Sister, what are you thinking?”
I mean, sure, I did dig up the path of the Heavenly Dao, but it’s more like the Heavenly Dao willingly came to me.
“Is it really okay for me to be part of such an important array?” Yu Yao said, feeling a bit insecure. After all, her talent paled compared to Bai Yu Mo and the others; it felt a bit wasteful.
“Don’t worry; there’s plenty of room, and I still need you to help me with a lot of stuff! If your cultivation level is low, that won’t cut it.”
“Well, since you put it that way…” Yu Yao didn’t beat around the bush anymore. Besides, she was somewhat concerned about her own cultivation, too. “Then I really appreciate your invitation, Little Junior Brother.”
