Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 345: Chapter 287: Ping Fell Asleep Again

”Laugh your mom...”

The current scene is quite the spectacle.

Above the Sea of Consciousness, Han Yu laughed nearly to tears, while within, the Glazed Bottle glowed brightly, with Profound Yellow Qi pouring into its mouth continuously. Glass leapt up and bit onto the edge of the bottle mouth desperately, trying to grab a share.

Just a moment ago, after Han Yu gave each of the three Junior Cultivators their respective West River Pill, the three cultivators instantly experienced a reversal of cause and effect. An immense amount of cultivation poured into their bodies, not only forcefully pushing them to Divine Gaze Great Perfection but also developing their individual True Essence Attributes.

One person’s True Essence carried the ability to enhance healing cultivation techniques. If they wished to switch to healing techniques, their potential could be limitless.

Another’s True Essence had a significant corrosive ability, making such individuals most suitable for the Inspectorate.

The last one’s True Essence Attribute didn’t change much, but their True Essence recovery speed was extremely fast, promising them to become a lasting cultivator.

In theory, these three lucky ones had fortunes far beyond the previous batch.

However, those matters were no longer crucial. The focus was that with the explosion of fortune accumulated over twenty-four years, strange things started happening again in Han Yu’s Sea of Consciousness.

He couldn’t even greet the Guardian of the Government Office, quickly finding a corner to assess his Sea of Consciousness.

He saw Profound Yellow Qi pouring incessantly into the bottle’s mouth from above the Sea of Consciousness, seemingly endless.

This time, the bottle behaved differently; the streams of Profound Yellow Qi entered yet showed no signs of converting into energy.

Initially, it didn’t seem strange, but after a while, the Artifact Spirit became discontent. The amount absorbed by the bottle far exceeded what it was entitled to.

Continuing like this would essentially mean taking away what belonged to it.

It wouldn’t agree!

This led to the current scene where Glass clamped onto the bottle’s mouth, trying to grab a portion.

Han Yu was initially laughing, but soon he felt something was off.

Continuing to absorb, his portion would disappear too.

”I asked you to laugh, why aren’t you laughing now, are you innately unamused?”

Glass, biting onto the bottle mouth tightly and gasping, still found time to mock him.

The bottle’s absorption speed increased, seemingly intent on not leaving a drop for anyone or anything.

Glass instantly panicked, clamping onto the bottle mouth, attempting to dive inside, only to be shaken off by a tremor from the Glazed Bottle.

”Wow! You jerk...”

Glass cried out in frustration.

This wasn’t ten or eight years’ worth of fortune; it was twenty-four years’ worth, and the damn thing kept it all without sharing.

Han Yu was baffled; this was the first time the bottle voraciously devoured, excessively peculiar.

As the massive Qi was consumed, the bottle suddenly displayed mystical runes over half its body, as if illuminated.

Resurrected again?

Han Yu was slightly shocked; the last time the runes appeared, the bottle slumbered for days. The Artifact Spirit had claimed only half was resurrected.

What about this time?

Absorbing such a massive fortune, to what extent has the bottle resurrected now?

A key, symbolizing authority, suddenly appeared atop the bottle, then floated to the top of the Sea of Consciousness, unmoving.

The key, seemingly emitting light, gradually dispersed.

Han Yu was already dumbfounded, watching the key that vanished now quietly rest in his palm.

”Damn!”

”Damn!”

Simultaneously, human and spirit cursed. The Artifact Spirit was left speechless; such an unusual event exceeded its understanding of the bottle.

The aura of authority exposed, for this dead bottle, why could the authority be retrieved?

”Be mindful, don’t lose it.”

Glass saw Han Yu frozen, continually shouting.

With a peculiar expression, Han Yu attempted to pick it up with his other hand, only for his fingers to pass through the key as if it was intangible.

He couldn’t tell if he was hallucinating because he could distinctly feel something in his palm but couldn’t grasp it with his other hand.

Slightly turning his hand palm down, expecting the key to fall, it instead instantly returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

”Try with another hand.”

Advised the Artifact Spirit.

Han Yu switched hands, indeed the key appeared, but as before, it couldn’t be touched, couldn’t be lost.

”I get it, the key is still just a manifestation, merely our visual imagination, the authority isn’t in your palm but attached to your hand.”

The Artifact Spirit’s expression was peculiar, for this was the only and the most absurd hypothesis.

The shared possession of authority by three parties was bizarre enough; now, the authority was attached to a body, what’s the intent?

”That damn thing went into hibernation again!”

Fuming, the Artifact Spirit remarked, teeth clenched.

Quickly, Han Yu delved again into his Sea of Consciousness, seeing the once half-lit runes dimmed again, leaving only the peculiar bottle motionless...

”Hey, are you sick in the head? Making You Li so pretty, and giving her this appearance?”

Yi Xian and Cousin circled around You Li, clicking in wonder.

Just now, when Coconut led You Li back, chatting and laughing, everyone was stunned.

Because You Li had on that thick-browed, large-eyed round face again.

Without Coconut verifying, they wouldn’t believe she was You Li even if beaten to death.

In this crowd, Han Yu joined later and hadn’t seen You Li’s true appearance, but everyone else here had.

Otherwise, Cousin wouldn’t have asked Han Yu in White Emperor City if You Li was beautiful.

Even more amusing, You Li with this new face, apart from Han Yu and the instigator Commoner, was a first-time sight for everyone else.

Commoner, faced with the teasing, helplessly explained.

”This really isn’t my fault. When we left Qingzhou Prefecture, she insisted on an uglier mask for me to give her.”

You Li also chuckled in agreement, ”Don’t fuss; I chose this myself so that it’s less eye-catching and I can live at ease.”

Cousin’s heart stirred, a mysterious smile appearing suddenly.

”Time for the big reveal. Who are you really? You can’t be the only one with an undisclosed identity.”

Yi Xian agreed, raising a hand, ”I’d also like to know how many big shots our Self-Improvement Sect hid. Commoner comes from overseas, Cousin is the Mo Family Young Master, you know about Han Yu, so it’s just me and Coconut as nobodies, only you left.”

You Li appeared surprised at the others’ identities, curiously eyeing Commoner, ”You’re an overseas cultivator?”

This was known only to Cousin early on; both once spent days together, sharing a love for tomb raiding, growing closer over time until nothing could be hidden.

And Cousin’s identity, Commoner was first to know. When surrounded by Zuyou Sect and captured, it was Commoner who brought two back to Shuzhou City to find Su Wanjun for rescue.

”So, you’re Mo Xiuwen? The Mo Family’s young master? Designer of Celestial Wave Crossing?”

You Li gazed at Cousin in astonishment, while he mirrored her surprise.

Merely knowing the designer of Celestial Wave Crossing proved You Li’s high status within Nanli Sword Studio.

”My name is You Li.”

You Li smiled at them.

”Come on, we knew you’re You Li.”

Her companions joked, not immediately comprehending.

Her name seems false, even if everyone knows it.

You Li helplessly explained again, ”I’m You Li, with the ’Li’ from three-water Li.”

Cousin’s expression instantly became peculiar, seemingly disbelieving, then musing.

”Your character totally collapsed! It’s rumored that Nanli Sword Studio’s Saintess is cold as ice, taciturn, with her sights set high, yet you embody none of it.”

With her carefree nature, able to mingle with Junior Cultivators, constantly leeching meals, and adept at fighting by stabbing opponents metaphorically.

Is she the Saintess of Nanli Sword Studio?

This world indeed grows crazier...
