I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 164 Invincible Overnight

Despite the sarcastic remarks around him, Su Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

The original owner of the body, Bai Shilin, was a righteous person who couldn't stand seeing the main branch of the family bullying the branch members who had no backing. He often stood up for the latter, which inevitably led to fights.

Bai Shilin was tall and strong, and he often had the upper hand in fights among teenagers.

This naturally aroused resentment among many of the main branch's descendants.

The qualification test results are now out, showing him to be of the lowest, most basic caliber. With such qualifications, Bai Shilin will not receive any protection from his family, and his future is predictable.

Before the qualifications are tested, every member of the family, whether from a branch or the main branch, is a seed of the family, and the struggle between them can only be limited to the individual.

However, after the qualification test, those main lineage members could use their power to suppress and bully Bai Shilin.

If Bai Shilin has superior aptitude, he can continue to receive the family's protection. If he has average aptitude, he belongs to the future middle-level of the family, and those main branch disciples wouldn't dare to bully him too much.

Inferior qualifications?

No matter how much they are bullied and humiliated, as long as no one dies, the family won't interfere.

Su Yuan looked around. Among the many family members, the main branch members looked at him with a mocking and playful gaze, while the ordinary branch members subconsciously kept their distance.

Just before today, Bai Shilin had spoken up for these branch members and even fought with the main branch members.

But now? Not a single disciple from a branch dares to stand on Su Yuan's side.

"That was still too foolish."

Su Yuan shook his head inwardly, thinking that the original owner of Bai Shilin was too foolish.

Without sufficient strength and confidence, blindly making decisions and exerting effort for others will offend a large number of people.

It is foolish to act impulsively without knowing how to protect oneself or how to be patient.

Without his arrival, Bai Shilin's future fate would have been to die with resentment six months later, under the constant retaliation and suppression from the main disciples of those families.

Even their parents were implicated.

"Alright, I've told you all the test results. Whether you have excellent or average aptitude, you all need to work hard and not slack off. As for those with poor aptitude, you should move out of the Bai family compound today."

The family steward spoke up.

Beneath the Bai family compound lies a miniature Yuan Stone vein, where the Yuan energy is far more concentrated than outside. Such an environment is naturally not something that clansmen of inferior aptitude are qualified to enjoy.

Staying any longer is a waste of family resources.

"It's all gone."

The family butler waved his hand.

Immediately, dozens of teenagers scattered and left. Those who had achieved top-tier aptitude were naturally overjoyed and planned to go back and share the good news. The teenagers with average aptitude also smiled, knowing they could at least stay in the Bai family compound.

The boys with lower aptitude, on the other hand, had long faces.

Su Yuan turned around, intending to leave.

Just then, a group of people approached from not far away. They were also members of families taking the aptitude test. The leader was an arrogant-looking young man who looked at Su Yuan and said sarcastically:
"Isn't this Bai Shilin? What's up? Where are you headed?"

Su Yuan stopped and looked at the arrogant young man.

The other party's name was Bai Tianshu, the grandson of a clan elder of the Bai family, who had been beaten up a few times by the original owner of the body, Bai Shilin.

"Bai Tianshu, you've gone too far!"

Before Su Yuan could speak, a young man stepped forward and questioned him indignantly.

"Too much?" Bai Tianshu said with a grin, "Bai Shilin, how are you feeling now? How does it feel to be a low-grade talent? If you kneel down and kowtow, maybe I can let you stay in the Bai family compound?"

Bai Tianshu looked at Su Yuan with a mocking expression, but inwardly she felt extremely pleased.

"let's go."

Su Yuan ignored him and glanced at the boy who spoke up for him.

The other party's name was Bai Housu. He had received help from the original owner, Bai Shilin, many times. He was rated as having medium aptitude in this aptitude test. When he saw Su Yuan being harassed by Bai Tianshu, he mustered up his courage and stood up.

"it is good."

Bai Housu nodded, wanting to leave with Su Yuan.

"Want to go?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Shilin immediately blocked the way and shouted, "Bai Shilin, if you don't kneel down and kowtow today, you're not leaving."

"Bai Tianshu!" Bai Housu gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful, or I'll report you to the clan elders."

"Sue me? What grounds do you have to sue me?" Bai Tianshu said nonchalantly, "I'm not making things difficult for you. What grounds do you have to sue me? Bai Shilin? He won't even be able to enter the Bai family compound anymore. How can he sue me?"

During the day, Shu was fearless and had nothing to fear.

"Brother Yuanwang!" Upon hearing this, Bai Housu couldn't help but look at another boy in the crowd.

The boy's name is Shirahara Nozomi, and he has been rated as having superior aptitude in this test.

Bai Yuanwang comes from a branch of the family and was previously bullied by Bai Tianshu and other members of the main branch. Bai Shilin helped him on several occasions.

"Nozomi Shirahara?"

Bai Tianshu's expression changed slightly.

As a member of the clan with superior qualities, Bai Yuanwang holds a high position in the family. If Bai Yuanwang insists on standing up for Su Yuan, even with the clan elders standing behind him, it will be difficult to handle.

“Brother Yuanwang, Brother Shilin helped you back then too!” Bai Housu said somewhat anxiously.

"Bai Yuanwang, are you really going to interfere in my affairs with Bai Shilin?" Bai Tianshu stared at Bai Yuanwang.

Bai Yuanwang glanced at Su Yuan, then at Bai Tianshu, and fell silent.

Su Yuan had indeed helped him before, but he was now of superior talent and was destined to enter the upper echelons of the family in the future.

As for standing against a clan elder for the sake of Bai Shilin, a person of inferior talent with no future?

After careful consideration, Shirahara Nozomi had already made up her mind.

His future is destined to soar, and there's no need for any unexpected changes to occur because of a lowly peasant with inferior qualifications.

"Brother Yuanwang, you?"

Bai Yuanwang's delayed response caused Bai Housu to stare wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Feel sorry."

Shirahara Nozomi turned and left.

"Hahahahaha."

A cheerful smile appeared on Bai Tianshu's face.

Su Yuan stood there observing coldly. He already knew everything that was happening from the gray mirror, so he was not surprised at all.

Shirahara Nozomi's choice was also expected.

"Bai Tianshu, have you forgotten that you haven't started your cultivation yet?"

Just then, Su Yuan finally spoke, "You think you can stop me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuan took a step forward.

Whoosh! Bai Tianshu's expression changed, and she subconsciously retreated.

He didn't expect that even now, Bai Shilin would still be so tough.
Indeed, the aptitude results are in. With Bai Shilin's average aptitude, he will surpass Su Yuan's lower-grade aptitude after just a few days of training.

But he hasn't started cultivating yet.

Naturally, he was no match for Su Yuan.

This conclusion is a lesson learned from being beaten up several times in the past.

"roll!"

Su Yuan glanced at Bai Tianshu, which startled the latter, who retreated and left immediately.

"Damn it"

Bai Tianshu's face was grim, especially when she noticed the subtle gazes around her, which made her even angrier.

This Bai Shilin, who has fallen to the lowest level of talent, actually dares to talk to him like that?

“Brother Tianshu, we’re not in a hurry. Let’s wait a few days and teach that Bai Shilin a lesson!” a member of the Bai family whispered.

“Yes, we’re not in a hurry,” another person chimed in. Their main concern was that Bai Tianshu might lose her temper and start fighting with Bai Shilin again.

If a fight breaks out, they will definitely have to join in, and naturally, they will be no match for Bai Shilin and will get a severe beating.

"In a few days?" Bai Tianshu took a deep breath, knowing that things couldn't be rushed.

Now that his qualifications are set, Bai Shilin is like meat on a chopping board, unable to escape. As long as he recovers, he won't be able to bully him at will.

Su Yuan returned to his room.

"Brother Shilin." Bai Housu also came in.

"Brother Shilin, Bai Tianshu will definitely not let you off so easily," Bai Housu said worriedly.

He was tested and found to have average aptitude. He held a certain position in the family, and as long as he was careful, he wouldn't be subjected to too much trouble from Bai Tianshu.

But Su Yuan is different.

The Bai family members with inferior aptitude are no different from servants; it would be too easy for Bai Tianshu to deal with them.

"I know it well."

Su Yuan said calmly.

Having chosen the Divine Body World, Su Yuan had naturally already formulated a follow-up plan from the gray mirror, so there wouldn't be any problems.

"I know what I'm doing."

Bai Housu thought Su Yuan was trying to comfort him, so he sighed and said, "It's all my fault. If I had superior talent, you wouldn't have been treated like this, Brother Shilin."

After packing his things, Su Yuan went to the family's foreign affairs hall.

The Foreign Affairs Hall is a place where the family handles worldly affairs. Su Yuan was tested and found to have inferior aptitude. His next assignment is to be placed in one of the Bai family's businesses outside the family to serve them.

This is the treatment for those with inferior aptitude. They basically have no opportunity to cultivate and spend all their time helping the family with trivial matters and serving the members with average and superior aptitude.

"Which family business are you planning to join?"

The deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall looked at Su Yuan and asked casually.

Su Yuan had spent some time in the Bai family compound, and although he was of inferior caliber, he still had the right to choose which business to go to.

"The Spirit Medicine Pavilion".

Su Yuan spoke up.

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion is the Bai family's largest business pillar, selling all kinds of spiritual medicines.

Spiritual herbs, on the other hand, grow under the nurturing of the primordial energy of heaven and earth. They are of great benefit to cultivation and are essentially essential for cultivators.

"The Spirit Medicine Pavilion?"

The foreign affairs officer glanced at Su Yuan with slight surprise.

Normally, very few people would choose the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

As the pillar industry of the Bai family, Lingyao Pavilion has the best business, but it is also the most tiring.

They also bear the greatest responsibility; if a certain spiritual herb is missing, family members like Su Yuan will be punished regardless of their relationship to the family.

"Are you sure it's the Spirit Medicine Pavilion?"

The deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall asked the question.

"determine."

Su Yuan nodded.

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion was part of his plan, and it could help him save a lot of time.

"This is the token. Just go directly to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion to report."

The deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall handed over a token.

Su Yuan took the token and turned to leave.

By the time Su Yuan arrived at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, it was already afternoon.

"From a family?"

The manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion glanced at Su Yuan but didn't pay much attention to him.

Generally, the family members who are assigned to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion are of inferior talent, with little future and no background.

Even if a member of a well-connected family is deemed to have inferior aptitude in a test, their elders will help them secure a transfer to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

"Take a look around and familiarize yourself with the surroundings."

The manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion gave a casual instruction and then went about his own business.

Su Yuan didn't ask any more questions; his understanding of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion was far superior to that of the manager.

"These elixirs."

Su Yuan looked at the spiritual herbs displayed in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

The elixirs of the divine world are born from the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and then incorporated with various cosmic forces before finally taking shape.

Therefore, each medicinal herb contains various cosmic forces.

"The cultivation system of the Divine Body World is divided into nine levels, with the first level being the weakest and the ninth level being the strongest. Once you enter the first level, you can be called a cultivator."

Su Yuan thought to himself silently.

Compared to the Shattered Void World, the Divine Body World doesn't impose too many restrictions on combat power. While post-realm star creatures can't destroy stars in reality here...

With the help of the vast cosmic power at his disposal, he could still destroy an area of ​​hundreds of miles in a single, all-out attack.

Of course, that's something that only those with at least a sixth-tier strength can do.

As for the sixth rank, let alone the Bai family, even in the entire Luoyang City, the strongest is only at the fourth rank. Looking at Qingfeng Prefecture, a sixth-rank expert is considered top-tier combat power.

Night falls.

Su Yuan, a member who had just come from the family, was summoned before the steward.

"Bai Shilin, right?"

The manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion glanced at Su Yuan, his expression scrutinizing: "The night watch duty at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion tonight is entrusted to you."

The so-called night watch means that even after the Spirit Medicine Pavilion closes, people are still sent to patrol and inspect the pavilion.

This kind of task is usually not assigned to newcomers, because if something goes wrong during the night watch, it will be a big problem.

It was quite obvious that the manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion had received some instructions to deliberately make things difficult for Su Yuan.

"no problem."

Su Yuan nodded.

He traveled so far, specifically choosing the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, just to keep watch at night.

"Be careful, or you'll be held responsible if anything goes wrong."

The manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion stared at Su Yuan for a while, then left after speaking.

"During the inventory of medicinal herbs tonight, they deliberately counted a few more than the limit, so that when they count them tomorrow morning, they'll use this to make things difficult for me and accuse me of embezzling medicinal herbs?"

Su Yuan naturally learned about the manager's plans through the gray mirror. This was also Bai Tianshu's way of using the family's power to suppress him.

The few missing medicinal herbs were not precious, so it was impossible for the matter to be brought up with the family; the decision was entirely up to the Medicinal Herb Pavilion.

The night is dark.

Having accepted the night watch mission, Su Yuan naturally had access to the first floor of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Standing in the center of the first floor, looking at the various spiritual herbs displayed around him, Su Yuan smiled.

"Let's begin our cultivation."

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, intending to use the many spiritual herbs in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion to cultivate.

As for how to face the Bai family's wrath after using up these elixirs?
Su Yuan didn't take it seriously at all, because after this night of cultivation, he would be invincible in Luoyang City, and even in Qingfeng Prefecture.

The mere Bai family dares to bark like a dog; I'll stomp them to death.
