Note: Releases will now continue. Thanks for waiting.

Seeing the deeply disappointed gaze of Su Yu, the corner of the old beggar's mouth slightly curved up.

He looked at Su Yu and spoke to him with an unhurried tone, "Testing the sea of qi doesn't have to be done through the spiritual qi testing plate. I still have a method to test your sea of qi's rank."

Hearing that, Su Yu instantly beamed with joy and hurriedly pleaded, "Requesting senior to test junior's sea of qi!"

"Nope!" The old beggar extremely bluntly replied.

"Eh…." The old beggar's reply once again caused Su Yu to feel very helpless.

There's really nothing Su Yu could do; he could not feel the old beggar's temperament. He only felt that the old beggar's temperament was somewhat strange, to the point that it was difficult to have a normal communication.

"But…" The old beggar spoke like he was about to speak but hesitated.

"But what?" Su Yu hurriedly asked.

"But, if you tell me what that secret technique you had previously used to temporarily stimulate your body to gain strength that's beyond normal, whose side effect is to only cause temporary loss of strength, then I won't mind helping you test your sea of qi's rank. Moreover, if this old beggar's mood is good, I might also help you cross the gateway and step into the path of cultivation?" The old beggar probed.

When he heard the old beggar's probing, Su Yu's expression turned inexplicable.

The mysterious picture on his chest was currently his biggest secret, and it was also something he greatly relied on. Hence, he certainly would not anyhow leak this thing out for others to hear, even if that person was someone who had once saved his life.

"This…Junior also doesn't know. Junior just felt that during that previous incident, junior's body was filled with much strength and power. As for why it had happened, junior is also confused……" Su Yu replied while showing a helpless expression.

Of course, the old beggar was able to catch the slightly strange signs in Su Yu's eyes. He knew that Su Yu didn't want to tell him, and it wasn't that he didn't know.

But since Su Yu wasn't willing to say it, then he would naturally not force him.

Though he had the power to force Su Yu to open his mouth, he wouldn't do it as it was beneath his dignity.

"Since it's like this, then let's just put it like I did not say anything." The old beggar briefly looked at Su Yu before turning his head away.

This time, Su Yu was calm.

He had already put every possible idea into action and had also said whatever he should say. If the old beggar was really unwilling to test his apt.i.tude, then there's nothing he could do or say ah.

After all, the old beggar had already unknowingly saved his life. If he wanted the old beggar to do something for him, he would be too greedy.

Su Yu did not say anything anymore and slowly sat down. Hearing the rumbling sound of thunder and seeing the heavy rain outside, he was once again lost in thought.

A person who came to an unfamiliar world. If people said that he wasn't lonely and afraid, then they were wrong.

He wanted to return, he really wanted to return. He was thinking about his little girlfriend.

The girl had eyes that were as round as the moon. When she smiled, two dimples would appear on her face. When she was angry, she would stay in her room and sulk. When she was happy, she would act like a child and cling to his neck.

"Little Ye Zi, are you doing well?"

Su Yu mumbled without stop.

The him at this moment was very lonely and also scared.

However, he understood that brooding over the feeling of loneliness and fear was useless.

Since he had already accidentally come into this world, then he must continue to live strong and well.

Since the old beggar was unwilling to test his apt.i.tude and guide him to cultivate, then he would wait, wait for 1 or 2 years later when the cultivating sects open their gates to recruit new disciples. He would definitely go.

If the heavens didn't allow him to cultivate, then he would go deep into a mountain forest and live out his ordinary life until death.

But if he was fortunate enough that the heaven allowed him to be able to cultivate, then he would be unwilling to stay ordinary because he must make a place for himself under the heavens. He must have the strength that would terrify everyone. He must be able to properly protect those around him.

The old beggar, who had previously turned his head away, had in fact, been secretly observing Su Yu from the very beginning.

At the start, when he saw Su Yu's unconcealed desolate expression, he could not help but quietly wonder what kind of past that young man had for him to have that kind of expression.

Afterward, he saw a disappointed expression surfaced on Su Yu's face. Following that, his face changed into an extremely resolute expression. This kind of resolute expression seemed to cause the old beggar to recall his past young self.

The old beggar recalled that the previous day a young man forwent his safety and risked his life to block Liu Yan Qing, protecting that family while they were escaping. Following that, he was worried that Liu Yan Qing would injure this old beggar, so he once more took on Liu Yan Qing's fist. After that, this young man, for the sake of having this old beggar to guide him to step through the gateway and into the road of cultivation, stubbornly followed this old beggar for almost a day with a body that had not the slightest bit of strength. The old beggar shook his head.

He was unwilling to guide Su Yu in cultivation and test his apt.i.tude in cultivation because he didn't want to have any relation to him.

Because once he has relation to Su Yu, he would surely be bound to Su Yu, this fruit, in the future.

With his current cultivation level, he was reluctant to create a karmic relations.h.i.+p with other people because it would then become a hindrance to him, a hindrance when he breaks through to a higher realm.

Karma has this kind of rule to it.

The current him didn't have plans to comprehend this kind of rule.

"Fine. So, today I'll plant the seed. Let's see what kind of fruit it will bear in the future?" The old beggar pondered for a moment, and at long last, he finally showed a resolute expression.

After saying that to himself, he stood and walked up to Su Yu.

"Want to cultivate?" The old beggar indifferently asked Su Yu.

"Want!" Though Su Yu felt bewildered, he still nodded his head in affirmation.

"Good, then I will help you test your apt.i.tude!" The old beggar said.

"Eh…Senior, why are you…" Before Su Yu could complete his sentence, the old beggar immediately interrupted and said, "Speak less nonsense. Close your eyes and clear your thoughts. When you feel a mysterious power entering your body, trust and don't resist—that's if you want to know whether you have the apt.i.tude to cultivate."

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Su Yu acted according to what the old beggar had said.

He naturally would not worry about the old beggar hurting him because he knew that if the old beggar had that intention, he would not have any way of resisting.

Seeing that Su Yu did not hesitate and did as he was told to close his eyes, admiration immediately emerged from the old beggar's eyes.

Boom!

A majestic spirit power was instantly released out from between the old beggar's eyebrows.

Spirit power was a kind of extremely profound existence. It was quite similar to mind power but different. It had a certain ability that was equivalent to a cultivator's third eye.

Cultivators would not have spirit power during cultivation at the first 3 realms, namely, Boundary Realm; Spiritual Realm; and Monarch Realm. Only strong cultivators who had cultivated to the fourth realm would then have spirit power.
