Chapter 616 Sword Grass

Su Yu looked at the sky. The Immortal Realm?

He took out his fishing rod and began to fish; he was in no hurry when it came to his Cultivate matters.

Arriving at the lakeside, Su Yu entered a state of fishing.

A few days passed.

Su Yu felt like making a trip back to the Southern Region. He hadn't been back for a long time and it was about time he made an appearance.

With that thought, Su Yu left and reappeared at his home in the Southern Region.

Back home, Su Yu saw the Treasure Seeking Rat still bouncing around everywhere.

Over the years, some new members had been added.

Seeing Su Yu arrive, the Treasure Seeking Rat said, "My Lord, you're here. You haven't been back in so long."

"Yes, you all seem to be doing quite well."

"It's all thanks to you, My Lord," the Treasure Seeking Rat laughed.

Some of the new Treasure Seeking Rats looked at Su Yu; this was the "Lord" their parents spoke of. Having finally met him, Su Yu briefly familiarized himself with them before heading into the courtyard.

The changes in the courtyard were not small either.

The efficacy of the original Sword Nurturing Pool was now truly shocking.

And the growth of the sword nurturing grass was even more astonishing.

Earlier, the Treasure Seeking Rat had told him that one of them had eaten a lot of this sword nurturing grass and underwent some unusual changes.

Su Yu understood the reason; long-term consumption of it had caused some changes within its body.

Treasure Seeking Rats have a certain probability of converting what they eat into their own abilities, but this probability is almost non-existent.

Some could eat the same thing until the end of their lives without ever triggering this ability.

Yet, it had happened; a Treasure Seeking Rat with impressive Sword Dao talent was born.

Su Yu had just seen it and even bestowed a Sword Dao Cultivation Technique upon it.

But that wasn't the only reason Su Yu was looking at the Sword Nurturing Pool.

Su Yu walked to the edge of the Sword Nurturing Pool and looked at the lush sword nurturing grass beside it.

One of them was particularly eye-catching; not only was it several times larger, but its color was also a more vibrant emerald green.

Moreover, it was surrounded by a distinct Sword Intent. Su Yu picked up an ordinary piece of wood and tossed it toward that stalk of sword nurturing grass.

Just as the wood was about to hit the sword nurturing grass, it was instantly sliced into pieces by Sword Qi.

The Treasure Seeking Rat had also told him about this; they didn't dare touch this unusual grass and were waiting for him to return and make a decision.

Su Yu looked at the grass; this was somewhat unexpected.

To his surprise, this grass had actually developed a consciousness, though it was still quite weak at the moment.

However, the Sword Intent manifesting around it indicated that it was anything but ordinary.

Returning had brought an unexpected gain; this thing had immense potential.

With that in mind, Su Yu cast the Spirit Rain Technique, and as he finished, a Formation appeared around the small grass.

This was a Formation that could aid its growth.

The Sword Grass seemed to sense his presence, swaying in the wind as if welcoming him back.

Su Yu smiled.

A ball of light glowed in his hand, containing a Legacy he had bestowed along with a Sword Dao Divine Ability.

This Divine Ability should be quite suitable for this Sword Grass.

After the ball of light entered the Sword Grass, Su Yu could feel its conscious fluctuations more clearly.

Seeing this, Su Yu spoke, "Grow well. I look forward to you becoming a powerful little grass in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword Intent around the Sword Grass became even more sharp and fierce.

Su Yu then returned to the courtyard.

He also instructed the Treasure Seeking Rats to take special care of this little grass.

Other things in the yard had also changed slightly, but not significantly.

After staying for a while, Su Yu decided to raise his cultivation to the Late Stage of Spirit Transformation.

This was a considered decision; he had nothing to worry about now, so he could afford to increase his cultivation a bit faster.

In any case, his reputation in the Southern Region was already quite significant; many people knew of Elder Su of the Xuantian Sect.

Su Yu walked out of his courtyard.

He went outside, and as usual, his appearance caused a stir among the Disciples.

Calculating the time, he had been in seclusion for many years; many newly entered Disciples had only heard his name but never seen him in person.

A single seclusion had lasted for centuries.

News of Su Yu's emergence from seclusion quickly spread.

Many Disciples came flocking upon hearing the news.

The crowd was bustling with excitement.

"Where is Elder Su? Move aside, let me see!"

"Is that Elder Su? He really is just like the rumors say, looking so refined and easy-going."

"If only Elder Su would take on a Disciple. It's truly a pity."

At this moment, many of the newly joined Disciples' eyes lit up as they watched Su Yu appear.

They also wanted to become someone like Su Yu.

In the Sect Master's hall, Liang Wenjing looked at Su Yu.

"Elder Su, it's always like this whenever you come out of seclusion. You don't appear for a long time, but once you do, you send the Disciples into a frenzy."

"Now that your cultivation has increased again, Elder Su, our Sect has also grown a bit stronger."

The two chatted quite a bit, and at this time, Liang Wenjing was also preparing to abdicate.

He had been the Sect Master for many years.

Now he wanted to step down and focus on his cultivation; he also wished to Breakthrough to Void Refining and go see the Spirit Realm.

Liang Wenjing also asked for his opinion on whether there were any recommended candidates for the position.

But it was destined that he would get no answer.

However, Liang Wenjing likely already had a candidate for the next Sect Master in mind.

After Su Yu left the Sect Master's hall.

In the time that followed, many old friends came to visit him.

None of them had changed much; some had a bit more world-weariness, some a bit more majesty, but when they came to him, they reverted to their old selves.

Overall, they had all improved quite a bit, gaining more life experience and introducing a few new faces.

Time had left its mark on them, and their cultivation was progressing steadily.

At dusk, watching the setting sun's afterglow and the retreating figures of his friends.

Su Yu felt a bit moved; he decided to stay for a few more days this time.

That day, Su Yu went to a restaurant in the Cultivation Market on the outskirts of the Xuantian Sect.

This was the place where he, Han Shi, and Ye Lin used to gather for meals when he first entered the Immortal Sect.

Nothing had changed here; it was still the same, and Su Yu sat in his old spot.

It was as if nothing had changed—no, the only change was that he was now sitting here alone.

Phantoms of his old friends seemed to appear beside him, speaking of their plans for the future and their aspirations.

Su Yu drank wine from his flask and ate ordinary dishes.

Just then, someone caught Su Yu's eye—it was a young boy.

But on his face, there were traces of someone familiar.
