Chapter 7

"Su Yi, if you have the guts, come out!"

"Kill Su Yi, rid the city of this menace!"

"Su Yi, if you have the guts, don't be a coward, come out and face your death!"

"..."

In front of the Su family's main gate, the crowd was in an uproar, the noise reaching the heavens, mixed with the roars of the savage beasts and the increasing number of onlookers.

Mo Bufan, He San, Song Wuqiu, and others, leading all the young masters of the city, were angrily blocking the entrance to the Su family's main gate.

They had waited from morning to afternoon at the city gate, trying to intercept Su Yi's return to the city. When they heard that Su Yi had already returned to the Su family, their moods were understandable.

However, although Song Wuqiu, He San, and others were angrily blocking the Su family's main gate, they did not dare to really barge into the Su family's compound.

"Ah"

"The Su family is truly unfortunate!"

"Once this troublemaker returns, the Su family will never have peace again!"

Inside the Su family, many of the Su family members had grim expressions as they listened to the chaotic noise outside.

Some of the older members of the Su family were even pounding their chests in anger.

Su Yi returned to his courtyard and gave a few instructions to Wan'er, saying he would be out for two days.

"Master, where are you going? I heard that Mo Bufan and the others are blocking the main gate right now."

Wan'er was very worried, not because Su Yi was going out for two days—only she knew that Master often sneaked out for a few days, and no one knew where he went. What she was worried about was Mo Bufan and the others blocking the main gate.

"It's fine, I'm not going through the front gate." Su Yi was unconcerned, gave a few more instructions, and then left the courtyard.

It was already dark, and Su Yi moved around like a ghost, finally climbing over the back wall with ease and quietly leaving the Su family compound.

The night was very quiet, the moonlight like a hazy silver mist enveloping the mountains.

This was a wilderness behind the city, rarely visited by people, but home to many wild beasts.

Streams flowed through the mountain gorges, hidden among the trees.

In the faint moonlight, Su Yi moved like a monkey, climbing up with ease.

Above the mountain gorge, about a hundred feet high, the water cascaded like a waterfall, and among the moss-covered rocks, there was a small cave that was hard to spot from a distance, only large enough for one person to enter.

Su Yi arrived at the cave entrance and observed carefully. The mark he had made three years ago was still there, indicating that no one had discovered this place.

Inside the cave, the space suddenly widened, large enough to accommodate dozens of people. Stalactites hung from the rock walls, emitting a faint glow.

After blocking the cave entrance with a large stone, Su Yi's expression became serious. He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and formed a series of intricate hand seals.

As the hand seals took shape, a faint light began to emanate from Su Yi's forehead, spreading a divine radiance that enveloped his entire body in an instant.

The dazzling light filled the cave.

When Su Yi's figure became clear again, he was in a space about ten feet in diameter.

The spiritual energy in this space was dense and overwhelming, but the surroundings were hazy, emitting a faint glow, as if isolating the space.

Upon entering this space, Su Yi took a deep breath.

The dense spiritual energy in this space was invigorating, making cultivation much more efficient.

Su Yi was not surprised by this space; he had been called a 'waste' all along because of it.

Reborn with his memories from Earth, Su Yi accepted this reality and the mysterious, brick-like light mass in his mind.

In a previous life, Su Yi had discovered a light mass in his mind by chance, which he could clearly perceive.

Su Yi focused intently, trying to investigate it, but suddenly a loud explosion occurred, and an indescribably brilliant light erupted in his mind.

The scene was terrifying, like the universe exploding.

Su Yi died instantly, his soul falling into a dark abyss.

When he awoke again, Su Yi found himself reborn in this world, and the brick-like light mass in his mind had also come with him.

After a hard-won rebirth, Su Yi no longer dared to risk investigating the light mass in his mind.

In this world of martial arts, the Su family was a major clan in the city, and Su Yi had been exposed to martial arts and the Su family's cultivation techniques from a young age.

In this world, martial cultivators were divided into several stages: the Qi Cultivation stage, the Foundation Establishment stage, the Essence Soul stage, the Essence Profound stage, the Essence Spirit stage, the Essence True stage, the Essence Void stage, and the Essence Emperor stage.

The Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages were only considered the entry level.

Only after successfully establishing a foundation and reaching the Essence Soul stage could one be truly called a martial cultivator.

The Qi Cultivation stage was further divided into four minor stages: Refining Essence to Qi, Refining Qi to Spirit, Refining Spirit to Void, and finally, Refining Void to Dao.

In two lifetimes, Su Yi was considered to have exceptional talent and comprehension. He cultivated the Su family's strongest technique, the *Purple Essence Technique*, and reached the Refining Essence to Qi stage faster than anyone in the Su family's history, much to the delight of the Su family's patriarch.

However, things did not go as planned. After cultivating Qi, Su Yi stopped progressing at the Refining Essence to Qi stage and made no further progress.

Although he could cultivate Qi, Su Yi's body could not retain it, and no one knew where the Qi went.

The Su family's patriarch personally investigated, and even invited experts to examine the situation, but they found nothing.

Over the years, Su Yi made no progress, and his reputation spread.

Publicly, due to the Su family's reputation, no one in the city dared to say anything about Su Yi.

Combined with his reputation as a spoiled and notorious young man, and the Su family's powerful backing, few dared to provoke Su Yi, but he was secretly called a waste.

Su Yi was also frustrated. After two lifetimes, he had finally been reborn; did he have to be mediocre again like in his previous life?

Determined, Su Yi continued to cultivate. Whether it was divine intervention or the gods' mercy, the mysterious light mass in his mind finally reacted, and Su Yi was sucked into this mysterious space, discovering the secret of the light mass.

Su Yi finally understood why he could not retain Qi in his body.

It turned out that all the Qi he had cultivated over the years had been stolen by the mysterious light mass.

It seemed that after absorbing a certain amount of Qi, the light mass had opened.

The moment Su Yi entered the space, a surge of energy flooded his mind, transforming into a vast amount of information.

This information was the cultivation method of the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique*, which was imprinted deep in Su Yi's mind.

The Su family's *Purple Essence Technique* could not be cultivated, as any Qi he produced would be absorbed by the mysterious light mass.

Now, with this mysterious *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique*, Su Yi gritted his teeth and tried to cultivate it.

To his surprise, the Qi cultivated through the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was not absorbed by the mysterious light mass at all.

Upon closer examination, Su Yi discovered that the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was far more profound and complex than the *Purple Essence Technique*.

However, the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was not something just anyone could cultivate; it was extremely demanding.

First, one had to expand the body's meridians, forge the internal organs, absorb various spiritual herbs, and cultivate the body's muscles, bones, and skin, as well as the internal meridians and organs.

Although cultivating the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was extremely demanding, Su Yi knew that he had found a treasure.

Perhaps in this life, he would not be mediocre, and the day of marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman and reaching the pinnacle of life would not be far off.

Just as Su Yi felt that good times were approaching, he somehow offended the young girl Liu Ruoxi.

Imagine being reborn and being beaten up in public by a little girl; Su Yi could not tolerate such humiliation.

So, Su Yi bought some muscle relaxant at the black market and put it in some snacks. With his eloquence, it was easy to trick the twelve-year-old Liu Ruoxi into eating them.

Su Yi only wanted to teach the little girl a lesson, but she did not take him seriously at all.

Su Yi could not really do anything to the little girl, and in a moment of madness, he kissed her on the lips and fell on top of her.

At that moment, the Liu family saw the scene.

The entire city was shaken, and the city lord was furious.

If it were not for the intervention of Su Yuntian, the patriarch, and his past contributions to the city, Su Yi might have faced a much worse fate than being exiled to the Savage Beast Forest for three years.

Going to the Savage Beast Forest, Su Yi was not bothered; instead, he was secretly delighted and accepted it.

Cultivating the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was very complex, and the Su family was not a suitable place for it.

To cultivate the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique*, one needed to forge the body with the fire inside a volcano for forty-nine days, and the Su family did not have such a volcano, nor did the entire city.

However, in the Savage Beast Forest, Su Yi found a volcano, but the forty-nine days of forging the body with the earth's core fire, despite the protection of the technique, almost turned him into charcoal.

Reborn in this world with his past memories, Su Yi knew that the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique* was not simple, and it was better to be cautious until he had absolute strength.

So, leaving the Su family for the Savage Beast Forest was convenient for cultivating the *Supreme Mixed Essence Technique*.

The Savage Beast Forest was filled with savage beasts and various dangerous individuals, and danger lurked everywhere.

In the Savage Beast Forest, Su Yi discovered a significant secret: the mysterious light mass in his mind could slowly expand the space inside, making the spiritual energy within increasingly dense, and cultivation more efficient.

Over the three years, Su Yi estimated that if he could cultivate the *Purple Essence Technique* smoothly, with his talent and comprehension, he could reach the Foundation Establishment stage in a year.
