Free Web NovelChapter 200: Chapter 198: Acupoint Perfection
"Wonderful. Once a month. If you’re still not dead after a hundred of these, I’ll admit you’re impressive, Ji Qianqiu."
The corners of Su Qing’s mouth lifted after he finished the curse.
Getting revenge on an enemy was truly the best feeling.
And torturing an enemy was the most satisfying.
If it hadn’t been for the bounty, a Divinity Transformation expert would never have targeted Su Qing.
It had even forced him to expose his true strength.
He’d had no choice but to change his name and face and hide out in the Profound Bright Islands.
Su Qing released the Inference Creature.
A month had already passed.
Su Qing asked, "Xiaoqing, where is the safest place for me to stay in the coming year?"
"..."
Xiaoqing performed its Inference for a moment before replying, "Based on Master’s current lifestyle, staying on the Profound Bright Islands is the safest option."
’Excellent.’
Su Qing loved hearing answers like that.
The purpose of Standardization was to provide a single, correct answer.
To Su Qing, this was simply wonderful.
After that,
Su Qing continued to use the identity and face of Le Wanjia.
He stayed put.
He maintained the most normal Cultivation routine possible.
At the same time, Su Qing constantly consumed the products of Standardization to improve his aptitude.
All this was to bring his Nascent Soul Technique to Perfection more quickly.
...
「Half a year later.」
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Matchmaker Fang, I have no desire to get married," Su Qing said helplessly to the matchmaker who had come to his door.
She was always introducing him to Female Cultivators.
And Su Qing didn’t want to meet any of them.
They were all Female Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Realm. At first, Su Qing had seriously asked Xiaoqing to calculate their fortune.
The result was always that their fortune was poor, but if they were to marry Su Qing, it would improve significantly.
’Isn’t that obvious?’
’If I really did marry one of them, am I supposed to do nothing?’
’Just be an ordinary couple?’
Su Qing had no intention of marrying a wife so casually anyway.
That woman at the Fourth Realm was practically drooling over him, yet here he was, being asked to marry a Female Cultivator from the First Realm.
’Would that be an insult to the one from the Fourth Realm?’
Fang Jieping grew displeased. "Master Le, I work so hard looking for young women for you so you can carry on your family line. How can you be so unappreciative?"
"Didn’t I tell you two months ago that I don’t want a Dao Companion?"
"Matchmaker Fang, please just let me be."
Su Qing said helplessly, taking out an Array Plate. He whispered, "A Tier Two Array Plate. It’s yours. Just let me be. Otherwise, I’ll have to find somewhere else to live."
Hearing this, Matchmaker Fang’s hand trembled, and the Array Plate landed in her Storage Ring.
She suddenly broke into a smile. "Master Le, if you ever want to find a Dao Companion in the future, come find me! I’ll give you a discount."
Fang Jieping turned to the Female Cultivator beside her and said, "Let’s go, miss. The master here doesn’t want a Dao Companion. We’ll try the next house."
"Okay." The simple and pretty Female Cultivator next to her nodded obediently and followed Matchmaker Fang out of Su Qing’s residence.
Su Qing called out, "Take care! I won’t see you out."
Once the two of them had left his residence, Su Qing shut the door.
He let out a deep sigh. "Finally, that’s settled. That Matchmaker Fang, relying on her Fang Family backing, just refused to listen time and again."
’A wise man knows when to retreat. Better to just avoid the trouble this time.’
In truth, the last part of Su Qing’s statement had been the biggest threat—that he would leave the Profound Bright Islands.
’How could that be allowed to happen?’ Matchmaker Fang had thought.
There were so few Array Masters on the islands. Losing one was a loss for the Fang Family.
If Su Qing complained about Fang Jieping when he left, she wouldn’t dare bear that responsibility.
...
「Another month passed.」
Su Qing cursed Ji Qianqiu once again.
Including the previous times,
if his target had been a Nascent Soul Tier Two cultivator like Su Qing, he would probably be dead as a doornail by now.
This was the eighth curse.
---
---
Far away, within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land.
Ji Qianqiu was struck by the curse yet again.
His soul suffered some damage, but even this slight injury was enough to break through his defenses.
’It actually managed to injure my soul.’
Every time he went to ask his sect’s Grand Elder, the answer was the same: the source of the karma was within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land.
Ever since he had started to suspect Su Qing,
Ji Qianqiu had been skeptical. How could a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator possess such a heaven-defying curse technique? The man was only at the Nascent Soul Realm.
But Su Qing had defeated a Divinity Transformation Realm expert.
He hadn’t killed him, but a defeat was still a defeat.
He originally hadn’t believed Su Qing was the one cursing him, but now Ji Qianqiu’s conviction was wavering.
Besides him, who else in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land would target him?
All the Core Disciples within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land had cultivated the Mysterious Turtle Secret Method and sworn allegiance to him, Ji Qianqiu. There was no way any of them could be the culprit!
Therefore, there was only one possibility.
It was truly very likely Su Qing.
It had to be Su Qing.
It was definitely Su Qing.
"I, Ji Qianqiu, refuse to believe that you, Su Qing, can kill me with a mere curse!" Ji Qianqiu was in complete disbelief.
He went to seek out a large quantity of Treasure Materials to restore his soul.
Ji Qianqiu refused to believe it. Any curse required the caster to pay a price. Why would he, Ji Qianqiu, be afraid!
---
---
Once a month.
Unlimited joy.
"Xiaoqing, go ahead and calculate the best place for me to stay for the next year."
Su Qing asked, taking out Xiaoqing again.
Xiaoqing calculated for a while before saying, "Master, it is still the Profound Bright Islands."
"Can Xiaoqing make a request?"
"Speak. Let’s see if it’s reasonable."
"Can I stay in the outside world?"
Su Qing shook his head. "No. It’s too dangerous for me."
"It’s the same for you. Just stay inside my Great World."
"If you feel lonely, I can find you some animals to be your friends."
"Alright. I will obey Master’s will." Floating in the air, Xiaoqing accepted its arrangement. Although it possessed Spiritual Wisdom, its master’s will was the highest priority.
It could not be transgressed, nor could it be allowed to influence its master’s will.
...
And he actually did it.
Su Qing really went out and bought two types of animals in the real world that he also happened to like.
A local mongrel and a White Fox.
Both were newborns.
Without hesitation, Su Qing tossed the two little creatures into his Great World, which was planted with Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicines.
Xiaoqing had originally been kept in the Immortal Realm, but Su Qing felt that wasn’t ideal and moved it into the Great World.
At least in the Great World, there were some other small living beings.
"Xiaoqing, you take care of them yourself," Su Qing instructed, then paid them no more mind.
Although Su Qing was very fond of pets,
he didn’t want to raise them.
If he couldn’t even control his own fate, he certainly couldn’t control his pets’, which would introduce unforeseen variables.
And with unforeseen variables, disaster could befall Su Qing.
Su Qing was even more cautious now, not daring to expose the slightest hint of his true self.
Unless something unexpected happened, if Su Qing didn’t secretly cultivate to a realm above Divinity Transformation,
he probably wouldn’t be willing to reveal himself at all.
...
「Another month went by.」

Acupoint Realm Limit [God Demon Micro Acupoint Opening Method: Perfection]
---
"Perfection. It’s finally reached Perfection." Su Qing could feel that his power was terrifying, and his Physique had reached its peak.
Now that his God Demon Micro Acupoint Skill had reached Perfection, Su Qing could actually continue to synthesize it and remain in the Acupoint Realm.
However, Su Qing now had the Five Directions Concealed Spirit Skill.
A Tier Four Body Refinement Technique.
Why would he remain in the Third Realm?
[Five Directions Concealed Spirit Skill: Humans have five organs and five limbs. It models the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, manifesting the Five Elements within. The five organs give birth to spirits; these five spirits become gods, residing as the five divinities. Using the power of the Acupoints, it secretly aligns with the changes of the Yin Yang Five Elements to summon spirits and enshrine them as gods, which is the Divine Organ. With the Five Directions Concealed Spirit Skill, the Auspicious Beasts of the five directions of heaven and earth are born within the organs and enshrined as gods: the Black Tortoise of the North, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, and the Qilin to suppress the four directions. Cultivating until all five Auspicious Beasts guard the five organs is known as Divine Organ Perfection.]
The description of the Five Directions Concealed Spirit Skill alone was enough to show how powerful the Divine Organ Realm was.
What reason did Su Qing have not to cultivate the Divine Organ and instead remain in the Acupoint Realm?
This time, Su Qing had to perform the synthesis multiple times.
Manual activation was essential.
First, he would try a God Demon Transformation.
[Synthesis Successful: Divinization Triggered]
...
[Synthesis Successful: Demonization Triggered]
[Five Directions Conceal Gods and Demons: Humans have five organs... Five Directions Conceal Gods and Demons, the Five Directions God Demon Auspicious Beasts are concealed within, secretly aligning with God and Demonic Power. For each organ that gives birth to a God Demon Auspicious Beast, a corresponding Divine Technique is obtained. Cultivating to Perfection is the Perfection of ordinary Demon God Level organs.]
