"A few more votes needed, please support with monthly tickets for this chapter's main content, Fei Ka."

"Thank you for reminding me." Hao Ren nodded and stood up.

Su Han seemed cold and distant, but when it came to guiding cultivation, she was thorough without any personal bias, truly a good teacher and friend.

Now Hao Ren felt as if he had returned to the first layer of Focus Spirit Art. Countless natural energies were circulating inside and outside his body, yet differently, with his focused intent, these natural energies would be under his control, either stored in acupoints or dispersed outward.

Seeing Hao Ren about to leave the office, Su Han paused for half a second before suddenly saying, "There's another matter."

Hao Ren stopped and wondered what was up with Su Han today, speaking so much.

"Another matter is also quite important," Su Han turned around, staring at Hao Ren. "Focus Spirit Art only refines your body; you won't truly enter the path of cultivation until you reach Kan level. You swallowed Ah Zi's dragon pill, which is a natural aid for practice, but to make sure your aura remains condensed without dispersing, you need another crystal that matches your attribute dragon pill. The quality of this crystal will affect how high you can ascend in the future."

"Crystal" Hao Ren was somewhat puzzled; he had never heard of such a thing.

Su Han's expression turned serious. "If you only want to practice up to Gen level, this crystal won't mean much to you. Ah Zi didn’t inject any crystals when she started either, and since she can't stand hardship, her cultivation advancement has relied on the spiritual pills from the East Sea, making her level unstable. Otherwise, with your ordinary human body, swallowing a mature dragon pill would have long caused you to collapse several times over. Those elders dare not speak ill of Zhao Guang but are telling lies about Ah Zi's age being why her dragon pill is weaker when in truth, it’s because Ah Zi’s cultivation is shallow."

Hao Ren nodded and waited for Su Han to continue. While usually taciturn, what she said was always valuable advice.

He learned from Xia Chengxiang that Su Han had shocked the Donghai's Kun-level experts when she was around Zhan sui (around 16 years old), so what she said about age having nothing to do with the dragon pill was indeed true. The elders couldn't say that Amethyst wasn't working hard, and could only vaguely cover it up.

“Moreover, you've been progressing rapidly, constantly suppressing the powerful aura of your dragon pill. This is something I admire about you. However, early progress doesn’t guarantee later success; in fact, each level's breakthrough gets increasingly difficult, like climbing to heaven. Fortunately, Amethyst’s dragon pill is quite immature, which suits you for starting over.

“Hmm.” Hao Ren listened attentively; as a Draconic race inspector, Su Han would certainly not lie.

“Now let's talk about the black crystal [xuánjīng]. Donghai’s expectations from you are merely to reach the Zhen level. Therefore, I don't think Zhao Guang will encourage you to imbibe the black crystal because it carries significant risks. Furthermore, gathering black crystals is no easy task—even with Donghai's vast resources, they might not be able to find even one or two suitable natural treasures.

Is this “black crystal” so precious that even the incredibly wealthy Donghai can't guarantee its availability Hao Ren thought privately.

At this point, he couldn't help but ask: "Su Han, may I know what your black crystal is like"

Su Han glared at him and said with a snort: “The black crystal is each person's secret; there’s no way I’d reveal mine! But it was extremely difficult for me to obtain this one. Even saying nine deaths for one life would be an understatement.”

Hao Ren looked up in admiration at Su Han, believing that someone like her really wouldn't hesitate to do anything to improve her cultivation.

"What does your black crystal look like" Hao Ren asked.

Su Han hesitated when seeing Hao Ren’s persistent questions but ultimately replied: “The form of the black crystal isn’t fixed, but for someone who tends towards pure water elements like you, it would be necessary to find objects with similar elemental properties. For example, purple crystalline dewdrops, seven-heart corals, and pieces of the Qilin’s armor.”

The names Su Han mentioned were all new to Hao Ren, but he mentally noted them down.

He then thought that his direction of development was the Pure Water Body, so he needed to find a "Xuan Crystal" with water attributes. Su Han had two innate properties as mentioned by Xia Chengxiang, which were metal and water, making her progress in cultivation indeed swift; however, finding a Xuan Crystal that possessed both attributes would definitely be incredibly rare, no wonder she said it was a nine out of ten chance to get a satisfactory one.

Seeing Hao Ren still looking at her with expectation, Su Han was stunned for a moment before saying, "I’ve said everything."

"Oh." Only then did Hao Ren put away his tense expression and organized the content that Su Han had mentioned in his mind. He then said, "Thank you for your guidance, Su Han. I’ll leave now as I still have classes."

Su Han nodded her head and picked up the textbooks and lecture notes on the table.

Only then did Hao Ren realize that he had to attend Su Han’s class next!

But he didn’t plan on attending with Su Han, so he left her office, straightened his breath, and went back to look for Zhao Jiayin and the others.

Su Han stood by the door, watching Hao Ren's retreating figure. She wondered to herself how she had ended up talking about such useless things today. Was it possible that he could really reach the Qian level with his chaotic Five Elements’ mortal body

But this kid’s tenacity was quite strong; even after enduring so much pain, he still refused to take a medicinal pill. For someone of his mortal constitution, which was already murky and foul, changing meridians and tendons would be more painful, yet it wasn’t easy for him to endure.

Perhaps, he might surpass my expectations and reach an even higher realm

Su Han curled her fingers into the strands of hair in front of her forehead, closed the office door, and walked towards the stairs.

Hao Ren went outside to call Zhou Liren on his phone. "Where are you guys"

"We're in the classroom! Damn it, where have you been Don't tell me Su Han's classes aren't coming after all! I've saved a seat for you; it's in the sixth row! This is the best spot I've ever gotten. Hurry up and get here!" Zhou Liren called from his end of the phone.

"I'm on my way, I'm on my way!" Hao Ren無奈地掛斷了電話。什麼最好的位置，我每天都能跟蘇涵隔著一張桌子對望，還需要你這堂課的時間來看大美女蘇涵？

雖然心裡這麼想，但郝仁還是不敢放鬆對這門課的重視。蘇涵是學校裡有名的冰山美人，不僅因為她從不笑，還因為她從不顧情麵。她的《微弱光電信號處理》課程每學期掛科的人數最多！

雖然他跟蘇涵有點私交，但郝仁也不指望她會因此對他的考試成績網開一麵。

他心急火燎地趕到教室裡，周立人站起來朝郝仁招手，“在這裡，在這裡！”

郝仁一看果然是第六排的絕佳位置，難怪他在電話裡那麼興奮。

"I rushed over here an hour ago. This week we don't have advanced math, so after leaving the gym, we came straight to secure a spot. But it's only sixth row," Zhou Liren boasted.

"Alright, alright, stop being such a pervert!" Hao Ren pushed his face away with his finger.

"Who said I'm ugly! I'm way better looking than you!" the actually quite handsome Zhou Liren argued back immediately.

Then he suddenly felt something was off. He looked up and down at Hao Ren, side by side, a bit puzzled: How come Arin seems to have gotten even more handsome all of a sudden

This guy can't be getting plastic surgery, right Why is his face looking better and betternd others, like Haoren, become assistants to formal examiners who then recommend them for the exams.The examination at the Dragon God Temple is divided into written tests and martial arts tests. The w...
