Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 176 The Little Thousand-Mile Eye Achieved Greatly, Good News for Zhang Xiaolian
In the beginning, the fact that Qianbian Town had forged immortal artifacts in the ruined fairyland was known only to a group of cultivators.

However, in order to increase their confidence in exploring the ruined immortal realm of the Golden Cave Sect, the major forces spread the word, which made many cultivators in the surrounding area greatly admire the mechanical masters of Thousand Changes Town.

The term "mechanical artisan" encompasses not only weapon refiners in the modern world but also those in the cultivation world. Originally, cultivators only thought that mechanical artisans were skilled at crafting mechanisms, but after this, they gained the additional title of crafting immortal artifacts using mechanisms.

Mo Linglong's greatest obsession in this life and her past life is to become a true immortal, and she doesn't care about such fame. As a result, Su Ji has gained a lot of wish power income.

"Be high-profile in your work, but low-profile in your personal life... Now that the forging of the immortal artifact is over, it's time to seize the time to cultivate!"

With less than a month to go before the Snow Mountain Trade Fair in the Broken Wonderland, even if Mo Linglong could use the Immortal Furnace to forge another Immortal Artifact, she would find it difficult to do so due to insufficient materials.

Therefore, the Shaoyang Immortal Furnace was handed over to Su Ji as originally agreed, and used in the Great Sun Immortal Realm Project in Jinfeng County.

Even though the Jinshan Sect knew that the Shaoyang Immortal Furnace had been lent to Su Ji by Mo Linglong, they didn't say much. This was not only because Mo Linglong's reputation had greatly increased after she forged the Linglong Immortal Furnace, but also because Su Ji had the Jin Feng County City God Temple acting as guarantor.

With Su Ji no longer so busy, he also began practicing the [Earth Yang Eruption] esoteric technique.

The reason Su Ji first cultivated the [Tongyou Xuanmen] to the level of a superior Xuan technique was not only because of the remains of the previous generation of Bright Moon Elf, but also because he gained a lot from the underground palace.

The situation in the Great Sun Immortal Realm is different, because after the Earth Yang Serpent Lord was suppressed and freed, the Death Tornado disappeared, causing the mystery of the Death Tornado to no longer be complete.

Even after Su Ji arrived at the Crimson Sun Spirit Realm of the Mountain God Temple, he still couldn't find the missing high-level mystical fragments. It was only not long ago that the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord personally came to apologize, which gave Su Ji a glimmer of hope.

Now that the Jinshan Sect's mid-grade immortal artifact, the Shaoyang Immortal Furnace, has been borrowed, Su Ji has some free time. The Earth Yang Serpent Lord has also fulfilled his promise, not only handing over the mysteries of his own divine powers to Su Ji for comprehension, but also, under the guidance of the Yang Lord, beginning to reconstruct the mysterious terrain of the original death tornado using spiritual veins.

Therefore, Su Ji, with his Dongzhen cultivation, condensed his Qi Transformation Body and, along with the clone that Yantianchou had specially used to control the mechanical spirit beast, entered the Great Sun Spirit Realm.

Although Su Ji's Qi Transformation Body lacks the ability of the Heavenly Soul and Spirit to connect with Heaven and Earth, and even finds it difficult to resonate with the Mysterious, at least it has a direction and room for improvement.

"In order to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, ordinary cultivators, without a celestial soul or spiritual essence, need to first cultivate the spiritual perception of their human soul and life spirit. This provides an opportunity to hone their spiritual perception..."

Spiritual perception, unlike the sensory abilities of the celestial soul, is a soul ability that transcends the five senses. It can be "enlightened" through learning and cultivation, and is divided into spiritual vision, spiritual taste, spiritual hearing, spiritual sound, and spiritual smell.

Having cultivated for so long, Su Ji had already opened his spiritual vision several months ago by using his understanding of Yin and Yang. With the help of the Heavenly Calculation, he was able to see many distant objects in the Yin-Yang realm.

This time, Su Ji's Qi Transformation Body entered the Great Sun Spirit Realm, just like a blind person's hearing becomes better. Although he lacked the help of the Heavenly Soul and Spiritual Essence, he also gained more "solitude" and quiet. In just six or seven days, he made a breakthrough in his spiritual hearing.

Yan Tianchou immediately began to deduce, and soon deduced a low-level supernatural power.

"After opening the hearing aperture of the human soul, a second bridge can be built between the heavenly soul and the human soul. The combination of spiritual hearing and heavenly soul perception is the source of the minor supernatural power of being able to hear the wind!"

Minor supernatural powers correspond to spirit-level spells, while major supernatural powers correspond to earth-level immortal techniques...

The reason why both the Earth Yang Serpent King and the previous generation of Earth Yin Spirits possessed invincible combat power was because they mastered a unique innate divine ability. Even without the magical power of immortals or gods, they could still unleash invincible combat power in their respective home fields.

This invincibility is only invincible without comparison. If a first or second level immortal could enter the Great Sun Spirit Realm, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord would most likely be able to defeat him as well.

It should be noted that the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's innate divine power has been cultivated to a certain level, and with the help of the Earth Yang spiritual vein, it is comparable to a low-grade perfect immortal technique.

Without the help of the Earth Yang Spiritual Vein, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's innate divine power was incomplete, and he also lacked the magical power of a celestial being, which is why his strength dropped so drastically.

The previous generation of Earth Yin Spirits dealt with this very simply: they comprehended the mysteries of the Earth Yin Spiritual Vein and eventually completed their innate divine abilities. Even when they came to the outside world, they could unleash the combat power of a low-grade mastery or even a perfect immortal technique through the power of the Earth Yin Spiritual Vein they carried.

However, due to the injury of the previous generation of Bright Moon Elf, some of the supernatural powers and mysteries in his body were missing. In the end, Su Ji could only comprehend the Earth Yin Spirit Vein to make up for it.

As for the Earth Yang Serpent Lord, although he is still alive, because his innate divine power is not yet perfected, even though Su Ji comprehends the mysteries of the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's body while refining the weather, he still lacks some key points in comprehending the superior-grade profound technique [Earth Yang Surge].

Although Su Ji has been slower in comprehending Yang-type mystical arts, he has found a way to make up for it and has even made a breakthrough in his spiritual perception as if by some stroke of luck.

"The minor supernatural power of hearing the wind? In that case, then I will elevate the ability of seeing a thousand miles and hearing the wind to the highest level of perfection!"

Su Ji is not lacking in computing power for the time being. If he had the near-immortal-level supernatural abilities of clairvoyance and clairaudience, he would at least be able to anticipate the enemy's movements from a distance.

Yan Tianchou quickly explained, "The main body of the minor supernatural power 【Golden Toad Transformation】 is a golden toad clone. The only requirement is that the quality of the spiritual artifact golden toad must be up to par."

"The essence of clairvoyance and clairaudience lies in the celestial soul and the human soul. Currently, the human soul is only at the Qi Transformation level, and it will be quite difficult to cultivate it to the advanced and perfect level..."

Just as Su Ji needs to improve his Dongzhen cultivation and realm before he can upgrade his Yantianchou, the two minor supernatural abilities, Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er, also require the same "hardware" configuration. If they want to achieve the expected results, they will probably need to take some auxiliary measures.

"One can strengthen the bridge between the human soul and the heavenly soul through spiritual artifacts, and one can also strengthen the human soul by refining rare and precious materials... in order to achieve the possibility of cultivating high-level perfect divine abilities at the Qi Transformation level."

Just like Qian Feng, who gained the Water Spirit Body, which many cultivators envied, because he was in harmony with a spiritual object.

If Su Ji can find a spiritual object that resonates with a person's soul, it can enhance the effects of his spiritual vision and hearing, thus providing him with the foundation to cultivate minor supernatural powers to the highest level.

Su Ji simply smiled at this: "Spiritual vision also uses the yin and yang energies to see distant things. With my mastery of yin and yang, the minor supernatural power version of clairvoyance doesn't need any magical artifacts or rare treasures..."

"As for the cultivation of the Wind-Following Ear, one can go to the Golden Wind Canyon to find a precious wind-elemental material, and instead of refining it into a human soul, refine it into a spiritual weapon..."

"Similarly, one can comprehend the deflection of the wind, apply these mysteries to the human soul, and then refine the high-level perfect Wind-Following Hearing Minor Divine Power!" Su Ji was very careful with his own cultivation and did not want to integrate any rare and precious materials into his body. Perhaps one or two would not cause any harm, but if too many were integrated, some abnormalities would inevitably occur.

Therefore, Su Ji planned to go to the ruined fairyland during his free time at night to achieve his goal by refining spiritual weapons and comprehending profound mysteries.

"To deduce the Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Supernatural Power to its advanced perfection, 54,000 units of computing power are required; to deduce the Wind-Following Ear Minor Supernatural Power to its advanced perfection, 96,000 units of computing power are required. Shall we proceed with the deduction now?"

Su Ji has a deep understanding of the mysteries of Yin and Yang, but not much understanding of the Way of Wind. This results in a difference in the computational power required to deduce the two minor supernatural powers.

Su Ji quickly responded to Yan Tianchou's question.

"Immediately deduce the Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Divine Power to the High-Level Perfection, and temporarily deduce the Wind-Following Ear Minor Divine Power to the Mid-Level Perfection. It won't be too late to deduce the later stages after I've gained something in the Golden Wind Canyon..."

Su Ji's choice would save a lot of computing power, but Yan Tianchou still reminded him: "Currently, the computing power reserve is only 63,000 units. We will need to retrieve some incense and vow power from Wusheng's hometown later..."

These days, Su Ji has not been idle in using computing power. Since the Evolutionary Heaven Plan was upgraded to the Advanced Yin-Yang Yiling Art Intelligence, his clone also needs to be upgraded accordingly.

Even though Su Jizhi upgraded two of his Tianchou clones, it still consumed 240,000 units of computing power, resulting in insufficient computing power reserves.

Fortunately, Su Ji and Zhang Xiaolian also collaborated on the business of the Wusheng Hometown chain restaurant. Before Zhang Xiaolian made up for the losses she needed for cultivation, all the profits would belong to Su Ji.

Therefore, when Yan Tianchou began to deduce the minor supernatural power of the Thousand-Mile Eye, Su Ji found Zhang Xiaolian's father, Xiao Zhang Gong, and obtained 720,000 strands of incense offerings, which were roughly worth 20,000 strands of divine power.

Because it took some time for Xiao Zhanggong to mobilize the incense offerings and vows, Su Ji arrived at Dongsang Village a little later than usual.

Su Ji wasn't in a hurry. As he left the city, he familiarized himself with the Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Divine Power that Yan Tianchou had just developed.

It's called the Eye of a Thousand Miles, but because it's a minor supernatural power, it can only see up to a hundred miles away. Not to mention that Su Ji hasn't fully mastered it yet, so he can only see about twenty or thirty miles away.

So, as Su Ji headed towards Dongsang Village, he used the mystical power of Yin and Yang to harness his Thousand-Mile Eyes and survey the surrounding area.

The mist above Qili Lake was vast, and beyond that, only a layer of white mist could be seen, clearly the work of the Taibai Dragon Clan.

Although the miasma in Onozawa was thick, one could vaguely see a hideous maw that was spewing out miasma. It was the abyss bloodline demon king at the bottom of the lake, which even Su Ji had only heard of but never seen. Judging from the shape of the maw, this demon king seemed to be a boar dragon...

Caijia Village suffered a severe blow due to the large water vein spiritual realm. Fortunately, it joined the East-West Chamber of Commerce in time, and now the figures of miners finishing up outside the Wujin Mine can be seen.

Although the brick kiln has finished firing the last batch of bricks for the day, the flames inside are still rising, just like the inexhaustible power of the people.
The spirit soldiers patrolling the area around Dongsang Village at night were even able to see the paper birds that Zhang had sent out to assist in the patrol work.
Even though it's winter, the chrysanthemums on Nanshan Mountain are still in full bloom...

Before they had gone halfway, Su Ji's mastery of the Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Supernatural Power was getting better and better, and he could even see the mechanical figures patrolling the walls of Thousand Change Town.

Su Ji looked in the west-northwest direction and, as expected, failed to see Jushan Mountain, which was seventy or eighty miles away.

"The Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Divine Power can already see fifty or sixty miles away. With a little more practice, it should be able to reach a hundred miles!"

When Su Ji returned to his physical body, he continued to try to integrate the mysteries of Yin and Yang into his Thousand-Mile Eye Minor Divine Power, and even reduced the time he spent chatting with Zhang Xiaolian.

Of course, Su Ji didn't forget to mention his itinerary: "In an hour, I'm going to cultivate in the Golden Wind Canyon of the Golden Cave Sect's incomplete fairyland. I probably won't go back to the village tomorrow morning; I'll go directly to Jinfeng County to cultivate!"

Currently, even if Su Ji does not return to his physical body for several days, his Yantianchou clone is sufficient to assist in cultivation and deal with some life problems. However, Su Ji still insists on returning to his physical body for at least two or three hours every day.

Besides addressing the physical issues of cultivation at any time, it was also to guide Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation at all times, at least to prevent Zhang Xiaolian from feeling bored with the process.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaolian, seeing that Su Ji had some free time, finally shared some good news: "Lord Golden Toad, I have been cultivating for nearly ten months, and I am finally about to break through to the advanced level of the Cave Profound Realm!"

Although Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation speed was more than thirty times that of an ordinary person, she could only refine the Yin energy of the earth at night.
While Su Ji was able to cultivate Yin and Yang energies day and night, and their overall cultivation levels were roughly the same, Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation progress was only about half that of Su Ji.

As a result, even though Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation progressed faster and faster, it still took her almost ten months to accumulate enough cultivation power.

"I'll be breaking through to the advanced level of the Cave Profound Realm soon!" Su Ji couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Even though he had long anticipated that this day would come soon, he was still happy about the news.

The reason Mo Linglong was affected by the obsession left over from her past life was because her cultivation speed could not keep up with the recovery speed of the Xuanxian Dao Fruit, and she almost died because of it...

Therefore, Su Ji always hoped that Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation would accumulate as quickly as possible, and even went so far as to use a mid-grade Earth Yin Stone to help Zhang Xiaolian increase the speed at which she accumulated mana.

He cultivated his cultivation to the peak of the Cave Profound Master level in less than ten months, which was more than two months earlier than expected, and he did not let down the resources that Su Ji had invested.

"After Mo Linglong was successfully resurrected, she first assisted me in refining a large-scale deflecting spiritual weapon, and later she presided over the refining of immortal artifacts in the broken immortal realm... If Zhang Xiaolian becomes a high-level cultivator of the Cave Profound Realm, what surprises will she bring me?"

Even if a Dongxuan mage masters high-grade esoteric arts, they are still only at the Spirit level. Only by becoming a reincarnation of a Xuanxian (a high-level cultivator in the Dongxuan realm) can one have the possibility of touching the power of immortals and gods.

Su Ji didn't want anything from Zhang Xiaolian; he only hoped that Zhang Xiaolian could resolve the issue of the Toad Palace Immortal Shadow after advancing to the Dongxuan High Cultivation Realm, and thus survive as an independent individual.

At that time, Zhang Xiaolian's profound knowledge of immortals and gods would inevitably have some powerful effects, which would give Zhang Xiaolian a foundation to stand in the world of cultivation and also help Su Ji's plan to become an immortal.
