After saying goodbye to Zhu Wu, Su Chen went to find chief disciple Yu Shi and asked for a piece of land.
Yu Shi was about to leave, so he handed this matter over to soul master Yao E to deal with.
Yao E was a third rank Great Spirit Teacher, and was ranked second from the bottom of Soul Palace's twelve Spirit Teachers. She was mainly in charge of daily affairs in Soul Palace, and could practically be considered Soul Palace's Great Manager. If there were any problems, she could usually solve them.
Su Chen bowed to Yao E, "Su Chen greets master Yao E."
Yao E's age was unknown, but it could be seen that she was relatively old. Her entire body exuded a peach like mature aura. It was said that Yao E had once been married. She and her husband were originally a pair of immortal couples in Soul Palace. However, later on, Yao E broke through the Heaven Ascension realm and became a saint. However, her husband failed to pass the tribulation and died.
This was a great regret in soul palace. No one dared to mention it in front of Yao E. Su Chen had only heard about it by chance.
Yao E smiled amiably, "Saint Child doesn't need to be so polite. I'll take you to see. Coincidentally, there's a piece of land at the back of the sea. You can see if you like it."
"Then I'll have to trouble master Yao E."
Along the way, they chatted awkwardly and quickly arrived at soul island's north shore. This originally seemed to be a medicine garden, but due to lack of care, it was overgrown with weeds. A few stalks of divine medicine had withered. Seeing this, Su Chen exclaimed that it was a waste.
"Who's taking care of this medicine garden? They're too careless."
"It's me." Yao E said indifferently.
"Cough cough … Sister Yao E must be busy with work. Normally, you have to deal with so many matters in soul palace. How can a mere medicine garden compare to soul palace's development?"
Su Chen's desire to live was very strong.
Yao E smiled and did not make a fuss about it. She said, "This garden was once used to nurture heavenly medicines to assist my husband in his tribulation. It's a pity that he failed, so the garden naturally lost its use. I'm not in the mood to continue looking after these heavenly medicines. If you like it, you can take it. You can modify the surroundings as you wish."
Su Chen nodded. "Thank you, Master Yao E."
Yao E didn't say anything. She turned around and left.
Su Chen sighed softly and sympathized with Yao E. In the World of Immortal Cultivation, such things were probably not rare. He was also a person who had fallen to the end of the world.
Shaking his head, Su Chen pulled himself together and summoned the Gilt Sword Formation. "Xiao Gu, dig through this area for me and then dig the foundation according to my blueprint. I will go and prepare the materials."
"Yes, Master."
For an entire day, Su Chen transformed into a skilled craftsman, concentrating on building his new home.
Divine runes danced in the air, transforming into countless hands that gradually built up a modern-styled seaview bungalow.
It was a two-story duplex villa with a large garden. The front yard was covered with grass and there was a large fish pond. The outside of the yard was surrounded by trees. After passing through a tree-lined path, one could directly reach the beach by the sea.
It was alright. Although he wasn't completely satisfied, it was still a cozy little home.
When the new home was completed, the sky had just turned dark. Su Chen went to fetch Su Xiaoyao and brought Lulu over for a tour. Lulu even brought many ingredients and personally cooked for Su Chen's new home. Su Chen also invited Karen, Meng Die and Yao E over for a meal. Even Hua Qian, Zhou Yi, Xiao Yu, Cai Jing, Liu An and the rest were invited over from the outer island by Su Chen.
It was considered a housewarming party.
It was only in the middle of the night that everyone dispersed.
Only Su Chen and Su Xiaoyao were left in the living room.
Xiaoyao was already sleepy and could barely keep her eyes open. She leaned against Su Chen and fell asleep.
Su Chen carried Xiaoyao upstairs and then went to the basement. He took out the Holy Medicine Skull wrapped in amber and used the Heaven-Destroying Sword to carefully peel off the outer layer of amber.
This was a very meticulous process. It would probably take three nights to complete.
This was also the reason why Su Chen couldn't wait to move into his new home. He wanted convenience.
The next day, dawn.
Su Chen was afraid that Su Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to see him when she woke up, so he returned to the bedroom early. At this moment, Su Xiaoyao was sleeping with her head buried in her hands and her butt in the air. Her posture was so casual that it made Su Chen laugh.
"Eh, this little demon seems to have grown a little."
Su Chen could sense that Su Xiaoyao's skeleton had grown about one centimeter in height last night.
Even though children grew up quickly, this was too fast.
The Limitless Heavenly Demon's physique was indeed extraordinary.
Actually, Su Chen didn't know what the Limitless Heavenly Demon was, but he felt that it was much more powerful than the average Heavenly Demon. That meant that it was very powerful.
Otherwise, Su Chen wouldn't have been so worried after knowing about Su Xiaoyao's background.
But now, Su Chen had thought it through. Everyone's personality, other than innate factors, had a lot to do with nurturing. As long as Su Chen treated Su Xiaoyao well and nurtured her with the right values, then it didn't matter if she was the Limitless Heavenly Demon.
Just like what Meng Die said, the difference between a Heavenly Demon and a Heavenly Immortal was often just a single thought.
pia～
Su Chen slapped Su Xiaoyao awake, "Little demon, wake up. I'm going to start teaching you cultivation today. Don't laze around in bed."
Su Xiaoyao sat up on the bed sleepily and rubbed her eyes. Her hair was messy and she pouted as she looked at Su Chen. "Daddy, I'm still a baby. If I don't get enough sleep every day, it'll affect my growth."
Although she was full of complaints, Su Xiaoyao still got up obediently. Under Su Chen's supervision, she finished dressing and washing up.
After going to Lulu's place for breakfast, Su Chen held Su Xiaoyao's hand and went to the Soul Hall.
Before teaching Su Xiaoyao how to cultivate, Su Chen had to understand her body's condition.
Although he did a rough test before, it wasn't clear enough. In the Soul Hall, there were some special magic treasures that could measure a cultivator's physical condition.
After borrowing a special magic treasure from Yao E's master, Su Chen brought Su Xiaoyao home and began to examine her in all aspects.
Although he had expected it, the final results still made Su Chen tremble with fear.
Various talents were reported!
First, in terms of physical strength, Su Xiaoyao's current physical strength had reached the level of a Heaven Ascension early-stage Sage.
Then, in terms of soul, although Su Xiaoyao had never cultivated soul techniques, her soul strength had reached the level of a Soul Grandmaster!
But what shocked Su Chen the most was Su Xiaoyao's adaptability to the various elements.
She was born with the nine elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, and darkness. Moreover, they were the best of the best. This meant that no matter what element Su Xiaoyao cultivated, her efficiency would be many times higher than others.
Wait...
Nine top spiritual roots.
Didn't this mean that Su Xiaoyao had already met the requirements to cultivate the Connate Origin Skill?
