"Hmm, forming a core in just over ten years is quite fast."
"Indeed, not bad."
Just after a few words, they heard the sound of the guards opening the door outside, along with a hearty laugh:
"General Han, I’m back."
"He’s here."
Han Zhuofei stood up with a cheerful smile, and then saw a figure step into the room. He was about to speak with a grin, but the next second he saw the aura emanating from the figure and was stunned, his mouth gaping open involuntarily.
"No way."
Thinking he might be seeing things, he vigorously rubbed his eyes and looked again, confirming it was that familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure.
"Su Yu, you..."
Su Yu did not conceal his level, openly displaying it.
"Hiss!"
Han Zhuofei gasped, his face filled with shock and joy, a look of disbelief.
"I remember you were not even at the two hundred level before heading to the Cyan Immortal Domain, right?"
Su Yu smiled and said:
"Yes."
"And now you’re??? "
Su Yu spread his hands and joked:
"After spending over ten years, making some progress is normal, right!"
Han Zhuofei and his colleagues couldn’t help but twitch their mouths:
"You call this ’some’ progress?"
"Isn’t it?"
"Well, that’s quite a bit of ’some’ progress."
The joking words alleviated much of Han Zhuofei’s shock, and he quickly stood up, pulling Su Yu to sit down, and asked:
"Quickly tell me, what did you do in these ten plus years that you made two leaps and became a Celestial Immortal? That’s extraordinary."
At this moment, a man sitting by stood up and said:
"Old Han, Esteemed One, I have a matter to attend to, I’ll go handle it first."
Han Zhuofei nodded and said:
"Let’s meet again next time."
"Alright!"
After the person left, Su Yu unfazedly took a sip of tea and began to recount his experiences over the years.
Including joining the Profound Clarity Upper Sect, blending into the Dragon Race with the True Dragon Transformation, and more, mostly true with one lie, except for the Chaos Pearl everything else was disclosed.
He even mentioned the fortuitous discovery of a Chronobug carcass, acquiring a Time Crystal, allowing two Spirit Roots to rapidly take root and grow out numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without any concealment.
This did not require hiding; it was a perfect excuse, no need to keep it secret.
While talking, he took out several items: three Mysterious Celestial Fruits, 50 Peaches of Immortality, and 5000 Purple Mansion Heaven Essence Pills.
The Mysterious Celestial Fruits and Peaches of Immortality need to be used sparingly, but the Purple Mansion Heaven Essence Pills are abundant; he has plenty now.
This Celestial Essence Fruit tree took three hundred years to bloom and fruit before maturing; originally it matured once every three years, now with the Chaos Pearl’s altered time flow, it’s a thousand times faster inside, maturing three times yearly.
One batch of 36,000 can be refined into 108,000 Purple Mansion Heaven Essence Pills.
Su Yu has been back for three years now, producing ten batches totaling 360,000 Celestial Essence Fruits, capable of refining up to 1,080,000 Purple Mansion Heaven Essence Fruits.
Too many, simply impossible to use them all.
At this moment, Han Zhuofei said:
"Since you’ve become an immortal, according to the Human Race’s default rules, you can now apply for the rank of Junior General."
Before Su Yu could speak, he hurriedly explained:
"Celestial Immortals are certainly not restricted to Junior General rank, but rules require a step-by-step promotion; all Celestial Immortals start at Junior General, and with some merits, you can be promoted to General in twenty to thirty years. Whether you can become a Great General depends on whether you stay within the race."
"If you choose to stay, you can get promoted when a Senior General retires; otherwise, you’ll only retain a General’s rank for future travels."
"Hmm, then just give me the General’s rank. I still want to go out and train; I’ll return to serve the race when my cultivation hits a bottleneck."
"No problem, I’ll help you apply, but it’ll likely take two to three months for the military to send an inspection team to verify."
"There’s no rush; I happen to have something to take care of."
Han Zhuofei casually asked:
"Need my help?"
"It’s a small issue. I plan to retrieve an unparalleled Daoist method from the sect at Blue Mountain, which is half held at the Celestial Derivation Immortal Sect of the Horned Demon People."
