Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Gaoyu Tribe.

One by one, the tribe members were handling their tasks with serious expressions, everyone looking very busy.

An atmosphere of impending storm enveloped the entire tribe.

Because the news of the large-scale beast tide’s imminent arrival had already spread throughout the entire tribe.

Although the tribe had seven Wuji Realm elders overseeing things, and this large-scale beast tide wouldn’t cause harm to the tribe itself, when it came to individuals, the situation was different.

Every time a beast tide occurred, a group of people would fall during the onslaught, and many Chaos Beasts possessed abilities that could completely nullify the resurrection methods of Great Powers!

Right at this critical moment.

News spread about a refining master joining the tribe.

And it was actually a sixth-grade refining master, immediately attracting considerable attention from many people.

Because it was certified by the Demon Subduing Venerable, no one doubted Su Yuan’s capabilities, so many people came to Su Yuan for treasure refinement.

In front of a stone house courtyard.

Xiao Xiang spoke to the tribe members who came to inquire about the situation: “Master Su refines treasures extremely quickly. He possesses a Tai Chi Realm space-time supreme treasure that can deliver finished products in a short time. You can leave double the refining materials and refinement requirements, then you can enter the queue. The earlier you queue up, the sooner you’ll get the finished product!”

“Sister Xiao, help me jump the queue!” A Tai Chi Realm female cultivator said with a laugh as she took Xiao Xiang’s hand.

Xiao Xiang said helplessly, “Sister Wu, I really can’t show favoritism. I have no special relationship with the master and can’t put in a word for you. I only became the master’s assistant through my own application—I don’t want to get kicked out by the master!”

“Ah, good sister, please help me out! I urgently need this supreme treasure to wreak havoc during the beast tide! If it gets refined after the beast tide ends, it’ll be too late!”

A Tai Chi Realm Chaos Crystal Core seemed to appear in Xiao Xiang’s hand.

Feeling this change, Xiao Xiang coughed lightly: “However, since I coincidentally happened to be the one who brought the master into the tribe, I can say a word or two. I’ll talk to him—I should be able to get it refined before the beast tide!”

“Then I’m so grateful to you, Sister Xiao!” Sister Wu said joyfully upon hearing this.

Xiao Xiang walked back into the courtyard.

Su Yuan saw Xiao Xiang and asked, “What is it?”

“Master Su, there’s a mid-stage Tai Chi Realm female cultivator who wants a four-restriction Tai Chi supreme treasure armor refined.”

Su Yuan nodded: “Just put it to the side!”

Xiao Xiang looked at the side and saw dozens of material bundles floating in a queue.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang took out that Tai Chi Realm Chaos Beast’s Chaos Crystal Core and said, “Master, this is the queue-jumping fee you asked me to subtly hint she should provide!”

Su Yuan nodded in approval: “Well done!”

Su Yuan casually waved his hand, taking the Tai Chi Realm crystal core from her hand to examine it, then casually tossed her a Hunyuan supreme treasure as a tip.

“Keep inviting acquaintances to come for treasure refinement! You won’t lack benefits!” Su Yuan said.

Xiao Xiang said happily: “No problem, Master! I know quite a few people!”

After Xiao Xiang went out, Su Yuan still placed that material bundle at the very end of the queue. There was no helping it—since everyone paid queue-jumping fees, it meant no one could actually jump the queue, so things still proceeded in order.

After all, it was Xiao Xiang who made the promises—it had nothing to do with him.

However, his refining capabilities were indeed sufficient to meet these refinement requirements!

Su Yuan entered the house.

Stepping into the stone house revealed another world entirely.

This was a world of flames, where countless materials were being smelted within chaotic fire, and a white-haired youth was exerting all his effort to forge supreme treasures.

Su Qian glanced at Su Yuan, his face full of bitterness: “Boss, I’m so tired! Can I take a break?”

“Keep going! Don’t stop!” Su Yuan gave him an encouraging look.

Su Qian could only grit his teeth and continue refining treasures. He wasn’t working for free either—if there were leftover materials from refining the supreme treasures, he could devour them himself, so he continued refining treasures with full motivation.

As for Su Yuan himself, he went to the center of the flame world, transforming into his several-hundred-li tall true form, studying a humanoid puppet before him.

Su Yuan casually took the Tai Chi crystal core from his clone’s hand and embedded it into the core of the humanoid puppet.

“Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!”

Su Yuan looked at the puppet with full anticipation.

The various parts of the humanoid puppet flickered with light, connecting with each other to form a complete whole. The humanoid puppet seemed to come to life, a bright light flashing in its eyes.

But this bright light was filled with violent slaughter and hatred.

The refinement had failed!

This Tai Chi Realm Chaos Beast was trying to resurrect!

Before it could fully revive, Su Yuan threw it into the [Tear of Eternity].

The petite Su Li nearby opened her notebook and recorded: “49th puppet refinement failure! Master, I feel you could start by refining Great Luo level puppets first. Jumping straight to Tai Chi Realm puppets seems a bit too ambitious!”

Su Li was being extremely diplomatic!

Su Yuan waved his hand.

“My experience is rapidly increasing. I have a feeling the next attempt will succeed!”

Su Li gave an awkward smile: “I’ve heard similar words dozens of times!”

Su Yuan wasn’t embarrassed at all. Although he failed forty-nine times, he had indeed accumulated the combat power of forty-nine Tai Chi Realm beings!

His strength had also improved slightly!

His idea had been verified.

Right at that moment.

Su Yuan sensed the Demon Subduing Venerable’s arrival.

Su Yuan’s main body left the flame world and came to the courtyard entrance.

The Demon Subduing Venerable handed him a ring.

“This contains what you asked for. Be careful—these Chaos Crystal Cores aren’t just simple materials!” the Demon Subduing Venerable said.

“Don’t worry, these materials came at just the right time!” Su Yuan said excitedly.

The Demon Subduing Venerable gave him a strange look, then still left. He wasn’t worried about Su Yuan’s safety—Su Yuan could already unleash Wuji Realm combat power, and newly revived Chaos Beasts couldn’t possibly threaten Su Yuan. At worst, there would be time to call for help.

Su Yuan hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

Su Yuan took half from each of the queued material bundles and directly brought them into the flame world.

Then Su Yuan opened the [Tear of Eternity] and directly began attempting to refine a Wuji Realm puppet inside the Tear of Eternity!

Su Li said helplessly: “Master, you’ll definitely fail. Why don’t you start by refining a Great Luo Golden Immortal puppet first?”

Su Yuan looked at her calmly and smiled: “What if? What if it succeeds? Besides, I never expected to succeed in the first place!”

This little fox had been with him for so long, yet still hadn’t figured out the characteristics of his [Tear of Eternity]—she was really adorably foolish!

He hadn’t even been hiding his actions, had he?

Unlike Su Qian, who had already guessed some things long ago.

Su Yuan looked at the Wuji Realm Chaos Crystal Core in his hand and suddenly had a strange feeling.

“Heaven derives forty-nine, with one escaping—maybe it will actually succeed?”
