Su Yùchéng swallowed, a gulp echoing. It wasn't that he lacked backbone; it was the sight before him that left him dumbfounded.
In this storeroom, yellow porcelain bottles were the most numerous. Counting ten pills per bottle, there were at least a thousand Marrow Cleansing Pills here.
At the Ninglan Auction House in Yunping City, a single Yellow-tier pill now fetched several thousand spirit stones.
With so many pills here, even their Su Family's entire fortune wouldn't be enough to buy them.
And yet, they lay before their eyes, glistening so!
"The green bottles contain Disaster Breaking Pills," Su Yùnyù said, not allowing her parents too much time to be shocked.
"Their function is to aid breakthroughs, from Xuan practitioner to Mystic Scholar."
Su Yùnyù blinked. "Any disciple of the Su Family, whether from the Direct Lineage or the affiliated Outer Sect, who reaches the Great Perfection of Xuan practitioner stage can receive a Disaster Breaking Pill from the family."
Her current abilities were limited, and she couldn't refine high-grade pills. However, refining Yellow-tier pills was as easy as flipping her hand.
Starting with the younger generation, she would gradually strengthen the family's power.
As the head of the Su Family, Su Yùchéng could naturally imagine the changes in the younger generation's strength after this batch of pills was distributed among the Su Family disciples. He turned to look at his precious daughter, his eyes reddening. His Adam's apple bobbed for a long time, but in the end, he said nothing.
Su Yùnyù knew her father's thoughts. Since her father didn't bring it up, she pretended not to see it.
After examining everything in the surroundings, Su Yùnyù took out a jade bottle from her sleeve.
"This bottle contains Spirit Nurturing Pills, which aid cultivation."
Su Yùnyù handed the bottle to her father. "Spirit Nurturing Pills have a long-term effect. After entering the path of cultivation, taking one pill will naturally create an inexhaustible force within the body, which can be used for daily practice. The medicinal effect can last until the Mystic Master realm."
This was the highest-grade pill she could currently refine. Due to insufficient medicinal ingredients, she had only managed to obtain eight.
In the current generation of the Su Family's Direct Lineage, there were only five children. Eldest Brother Su Mò Bái had already entered the Mystic Master realm, so this pill would be of no help to him. Second Brother Su Mòzhōu was also at the Perfection of Mystic Scholar stage. With one Spirit Nurturing Pill, it wouldn't take long for him to break through to the Mystic Master realm.
Third Brother and Fourth Brother were at the perfect stage to use them.
As for Su Yùnyù herself, with the Profound Yellow Bead, it made little difference whether she used this pill or not.
After such an allocation, only five pills remained.
Su Yùnyù gave the pills to Su Yùchéng, entrusting him with their distribution.
Having distributed all the powdered medicine, Su Yùnyù felt relieved. After nearly a month of overtime, although her cultivation allowed her to withstand the physical fatigue, she was mentally exhausted. After bidding farewell to her parents, she headed straight for her bedroom.
After sleeping for two days straight, Su Yùnyù finally felt alive again.
Upon waking, she noticed that the strength of the people in her generation in the Su Family had generally increased by a notch.
Quite a few had advanced from Xuan practitioner to Mystic Scholar, while some, though not yet advanced, had also shown significant improvement in their strength.
Even Su Family's Second Young Master, Su Mòzhōu, showed signs of breakthrough in his Profound Energy after taking the Spirit Nurturing Pill. It was expected that he would successfully advance to the Mystic Master realm within these few days.
Looking at the profound energy, both deep and light, enveloping the family disciples on the training grounds, Su Yùnyù's heart, which had been heavy since her rebirth, suddenly calmed down.
There were too many variables in this new life. Setting aside other matters, the Profound Yellow Bead was already within her. Whether that Secret Realm would appear in two years was unknown. Perhaps, from the day of her rebirth, the Su Family's impending doom in two years had already been averted.
However, on this continent where The Strong Reign Supreme, having treasures without power was like a child holding gold in a bustling market. To completely eliminate the possibility of the Su Family's demise, only by enhancing the overall strength of the Su Family could it be achieved.
In the training hall, Su Yùnyù continuously honed her skills. Her past cultivation was from her previous life. Even after being reborn, she still had the experience of her past life in her mind. However, this current child's body was incomparable to her past life.
In her past life, Su Yùnyù only understood a principle later on: the path of cultivation required tempering not just one's cultivation base, but also the cultivator's physical body.
The physical body was like a container, and the Profound Energy cultivated was like the water within it. Only when the container was large enough and strong enough could it hold rivers and lakes.
Although Jiāng Hào had saved Su Yùnyù, and even though her appearance was extremely similar to Jiāng Yuè's, that favoritism did not extend to Su Yùnyù.
From beginning to end, Jiāng Hào treated Su Yùnyù as a shield for Jiāng Yuè and naturally did not bother to teach her much.
It was only later, when Su Yùnyù noticed that Ji Yànlǐ never forgot to temper his physical body in his spare time. At first, she only thought he was practicing External Martial Arts and didn't pay much attention. It was only later...
Su Yùnyù gave a self-deprecating smile. Upon knowing the result, and then retracing the process, she realized that many things in her past life simply couldn't withstand scrutiny.
Su Mò Bái arrived at the training grounds around this time. Seeing his younger sister practicing External Martial Arts, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Among the younger generation of the Su Family, he was the only one who cultivated both internally and externally. Now, seeing Su Yùnyù also training, and with what looked like considerable destructive power, he suddenly felt the urge to spar.
"Yǎo Yǎo, come, let's have a spar."
Su Mò Bái watched until Su Yùnyù finished before taking a few steps forward and issuing a challenge.
"Eldest Young Master, you are currently a Mystic Master, and Miss is only a Mystic Scholar. A spar between you two would be unfair to Miss!"
In the Su Family's Outer Sect, many of his generation were affiliated with Su Mò Bái. Now that he had returned from his travels, these people often followed him around.
Today was no exception.
Upon hearing Su Mò Bái challenge Su Yùnyù, someone immediately quipped.
Indeed, there was a one-level difference in strength between them. In everyone's eyes, their spar was naturally unfair.
Su Mò Bái glanced at them. Weren't they stating the obvious? Did he not know?
Would he really bully his own sister? They weren't mortal enemies.
"How about we don't use Profound Energy, and only spar using External Martial Arts?"
