He really wanted to choose all of them!
All three perks were excellent, and choosing any one of them was fine. Su Yuan felt he could make use of all of them.
But he was lazy!
The second perk didn't seem like one he could use by staying put; he would have to go out and interact with wolf-like creatures. He had no interest in going out, so he eliminated it.
As for the first perk, Su Yuan felt it wasn't necessary.
It looked powerful, but the actual might of this lightning strike was unclear.
But more importantly, this was too high-profile!
If anyone mentioned him and harbored malicious intent towards him, they would be struck by lightning. Wasn't this obviously telling others that he was the one behind it?
This kind of perk was actually very effective for spreading his reputation; it could be said to be instantly effective and potentially lead to an explosive increase.
But Su Yuan still felt it was too high-profile. The higher one jumped, the harder one fell. This perk was too risky.
Su Yuan considered it for a moment and still chose to give it up.
While the third perk seemed useless, Su Yuan had actually thought of a use for it.
That was to use [Dao Follows Nature] in conjunction with this perk!
[Dao Follows Nature] required sensing the mysteries of heaven and earth the most, but how could he explore and sense the mysteries of heaven and earth while sitting at home?
With this perk, there was room for manipulation. If someone went to a wondrous place and was still thinking of him, wouldn't he be able to sense the mysteries of heaven and earth from a distance?
Coupled with the [Work-Life Balance] perk, even if the perceived scene time was relatively short, it didn't matter. He could sense as many principles of heaven and earth as possible within the limited time!
The more Su Yuan thought about it, the more suitable it seemed.
Thus, Su Yuan ultimately chose the third perk!
And so, [Mind Resonance] instantly entered the System panel, becoming a member of his perk Family.
The moment the perk was successfully chosen.
Su Yuan immediately sensed the existence of thousands of streams of thoughts!
Such a large number of thoughts completely exceeded his expectations.
These thoughts came from all directions.
He sensed that one of them extended to the great hall above the main peak.
Su Yuan then tried activating the perk [Mind Resonance].
The perk's light flashed and disappeared.
The next moment, he felt his consciousness split in two. One part still controlled his own body, while the other consciousness rapidly departed and flew into the great hall.
Even the Formations outside the great hall could not obstruct Su Yuan's consciousness from entering.
Then Su Yuan saw the scene inside the great hall.
He saw Gu Qingzhu, who was writing and drawing at a desk, with a hint of worry on his face.
Su Yuan looked at Gu Qingzhu in confusion. This was the first time he had seen Gu Qingzhu so troubled.
"According to the message from the informant, the Demonic Sect seems to have deduced some kind of revelation and is starting to intensify their attacks on our Seven Absolutes Sect, but they don't seem to know the specific situation."
Gu Qingzhu muttered to himself, "It's a good thing Su Yuan has always been inside the Sect and hasn't involved too many people, otherwise the deduction results wouldn't be so vague."
He looked at the core of the Formation again and pondered, "Su Yuan consumed 2.3 billion Spirit Stones in one cultivation session. The current consumption is still manageable, but what should we do in the future? However, no matter what, we must cultivate him to suppress an entire era! Then I will definitely be renowned in the Sect's history, hahaha!"
Gu Qingzhu's muttering continued for a while, but he did not mention Su Yuan again.
The scene ended.
Su Yuan's entire consciousness returned.
He pondered in slight silence, his fingers unconsciously turning the True Disciple ring.
Little Cai saw Su Yuan sitting idly and floated over in confusion, circling around Su Yuan.
Su Yuan blinked, smiled gently, and stroked Little Cai's head, "Little Cai, you really are carefree. With me around, you don't need to worry about Spirit Stones."
Little Cai cutely flipped its fish body, revealing its adorable little belly, blowing bubbles from its mouth, its eyes showing innocence. Then it shot out a ball of four-colored light, showering Su Yuan.
Su Yuan felt a slight increase in the True Essence within his body, and its quality also improved by a barely perceptible amount. He showed a look of appreciation, "What a good Little Cai!"
Little Cai swam even more happily in mid-air.
Su Yuan tidied up his mood and locked his consciousness onto another stream of thought.
The next moment, his consciousness crossed space again and flew outside the Sect.
It was midnight.
Song Cai was calculating something in the accounting room. Account books were neatly organized nearby, and each entry was clearly visible.
Song Cai smiled and said, "I wonder when Senior Brother Su will call for us. I heard Senior Brother Su has come out of seclusion. We haven't sent him the harvest from the past six months yet!"
Song Qian was beside him, looking at the numbers on the accounts and said hesitantly, "Brother, we've earned a lot of Spirit Stones in the past six months, but this is all from our hard work managing things. That Senior Brother Su didn't do anything, why give it all to him? If we keep ten percent, then when we reach Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, wouldn't..."
"Slap!"
Song Cai exploded in anger, stood up, and fiercely slapped Song Qian.
Song Qian's entire body spun several times in mid-air before hitting the wall. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura significantly weakened.
"Brother!"
"Get out! Get out of here!" Song Cai's face was flushed with anger!
"Do you know why our Song Family has been prospering? Is it really because of our strong management ability? No! There are plenty of people with strong management ability! If that were the case, families that make business their profession would have spread all over the world long ago!"
Song Cai said angrily, lamenting his brother's lack of ambition, "Our Song Family relies on sincerity! Once we recognize a master, we must serve them with all our heart and soul, without a shred of selfishness, without a shred of taking chances! People are doing, Heaven is watching! Do you know that a single word from you now could bring a destructive blow to the Family! There are countless such examples in history, as rampant as the water in the Seven Absolutes River! Don't you understand?"
Song Qian argued, "How would he know? Just like he couldn't possibly know how much effort we put into his businesses, working day and night, for half a year straight. What's the use? He's a True Disciple, why would he care about this bit of Spirit Stones! Brother!"
Song Cai's expression calmed down.
He suddenly made a move, stepping forward and pressing his palm directly onto Song Qian's Dantian. In the end, he still softened his heart and changed destruction to sealing, completely sealing Song Qian's cultivation!
Afterward, Song Cai drafted a letter: Song Cai reports to the Family head, I have been lax in discipline, causing Song Qian to develop greed and fail to follow Family rules. I have sealed his cultivation. Please send someone to apprehend him and confine him to face the wall for a hundred years. I am willing to provide resources for his future cultivation. Please grant this, Family head!
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"You can't do this to me, I'm your own brother!"
Song Qian said in horror.
Song Cai remained silent and directly sealed his mouth.
"I was wrong!" Song Qian's whimpering sound came from his throat.
But Song Cai was unmoved.
"When you developed greed once, and even spoke it out loud, you had already violated Family rules. Once is enough to lead to a second and a third time. I should have crippled your cultivation, but I still softened my heart! I hope you cultivate well within the Family. After a hundred years, I will naturally release you!" Song Cai said calmly.
Song Qian's eyes were full of regret and resentment. He had just said it casually! Why, why was he being treated like this?
He knew he was wrong too!
Without his brother's permission, he wouldn't dare to do it!
Song Cai didn't look at him again and continued sorting the account books.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear a sigh.
Song Cai was startled and looked up left and right.
He also sighed, "My brother has made me so paranoid!"
In the cave dwelling.
Su Yuan withdrew his gaze.
At some point, a hint of sigh appeared in his expression.
One unintentional action of his had caused two servant Disciples to be busy for him all this time.
To be honest, he hadn't paid much attention to these two servant Disciples, and their appointment was just a casual decision.
But he had somewhat casually forgotten.
Servants, but they were also people. Everyone had their own life, their own thoughts, their own persistence, and their own pursuits and ambitions.
One command from him could be something others completed with immense effort, yet he hadn't noticed any of it.
He inexplicably thought of a saying: People should be grateful to everyone who is good to them. Perhaps they are silently contributing for you, even if what is presented to you in the end is just a simple fried egg, a cup of plain tea, or a shallow smile still shown after being tired from work.
Su Yuan looked at the thousands of streams of thoughts, and his heart felt inexplicably heavy.
Some things, when a person doesn't know about them, they can live easily and freely. Once they know, an invisible sense of weight falls upon their heart. Some of it is responsibility, some is protection, and some is respect.
Su Yuan's gaze swam among these thoughts, finally landing on the thickest few intertwined streams of thought.
They crossed each other, extending into the far distance.
Su Yuan injected his consciousness into them.
His consciousness crossed an unknown distance, arriving at a desolate black wood mountain forest.
In the quiet mountain forest, several Cultivators stood back-to-back, all staring in panic at the ghostly figures surrounding them.
"It's the Heavenly Demons! Damn it, how could people from the Demonic Sect be here!" Zhuge Jian was enraged.
"We thought we had safely left the Secret Realm, but we were randomly teleported next to people from the Demonic Sect!" a strange Seven Absolutes Sect Disciple sighed.
"Fortunately, Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Sister Nangong reacted in time and activated the Golden Core Talisman Treasure, otherwise we would have been killed instantly!" another Disciple beside them said.
Both Zhuge Jian and Nangong Huoyu showed a hint of relief. Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Su Yuan. Not only just now, when they activated their life-saving means the moment they confirmed their safety, but also before, they had escaped disaster twice thanks to Su Yuan's hints and even obtained an Opportunity.
But although they had temporarily avoided the fatal blow just now, they were still not out of danger!
"Gaga ge, I didn't expect to meet a few righteous Disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect in the Black Wood Forest, hahaha, it seems I, Old Demon Wu, can get some bounty money to play with today!"
Behind a few Heavenly Demons, a withered, skinny old man showed a sinister smile. With green eyes, he sneered as he stared at the talisman treasure on Zhuge Jian, "How long can you last? A quarter of an hour or two? Or just surrender and save yourselves the suffering!"
"Hmph, old ghost, our Elder is nearby, he'll be here soon!" Nangong Huoyu said.
"Gaga ga, do you think I'll believe that?" The withered old man immediately controlled the Heavenly Demons and began attacking Zhuge Jian and the others.
Zhuge Jian looked up at the sky, watching the Big Dipper, and thought to himself: It seems there's no chance to repay Su Yuan's kindness now!
Inside the cave dwelling, Su Yuan's brows furrowed tightly. Seeing this situation, he immediately walked towards a certain spot in the cave dwelling. A Seven Star Dharma Altar was still placed there, and two strands of hair also appeared in Su Yuan's hand.
"I hope it's somewhat useful!" Su Yuan sighed.
