What made Huang Jinxu happy was not just this single matter.
Surprises came one after another.
Following Huo Yuhao’s Epiphany, not only did his cultivation Technique enter the introductory stage, but closely following that, his Illusory Moon Star Pupil also successfully entered the introductory stage.
The protection and assistance of the plane’s power still helped him tide over risks and cleared hazards for him.
To say something improper, the current Huo Yuhao was like an incompetent husband, with the plane’s power constantly pushing from behind and assisting him forward.
“Has the power weakened?”
“Or rather, has it fallen into a period of weakness?”
Huang Jinxu clearly perceived that the power assisting Huo Yuhao, after consecutively helping clear hazards several times and helping Huo Yuhao improve, gradually weakened and then went into hiding.
This was the result he wanted.
In this way, he could head to the Star Dou Great Forest to verify a guess he had made previously.
If the result was what he wanted, then he could make extensive use of Huo Yuhao; if the result exceeded his expectations, then as for Huo Yuhao, he only needed to make use of him to assist himself in reaching a higher Realm, plotting solely for Luck, while everything else, he would not participate in at all.
Even at a critical moment, he could assist in perfecting Tang San’s plan and push Huo Yuhao to develop toward the results Tang San desired.
What he plotted for was solely for himself.
After recording all his gains obtained from Huo Yuhao, Huang Jinxu came to the secret chamber where he was in seclusion, and then took out book after book of his latest research results from the storage spirit tool, including various human meridian blueprints as well as the functions and characteristics of Acupoints.
The main reason why his first choice back then was Shrek Academy rather than other major forces was precisely aimed at Shrek Academy’s ten-thousand-year accumulation of Spirit theories, as well as the tens of thousands of years of Spirit theories and various books inherited from Spirit Hall.
Admittedly, once he removed the hazards eliminated by using Huo Yuhao as a verification tool, he would be able to elevate his cultivation Technique to another level.
But for Huang Jinxu, it was still far from enough.
God and the like could not be involved for the time being, but at least on this continent, he had to maintain a constant lead, and even Huo Yuhao, this Child of Luck, had to remain beneath him.
The Circulating Heavens Astral Formula that he imparted to Huo Yuhao was, strictly speaking, not the Circulating Heavens Astral Formula that he currently Cultivated.
The Circulating Heavens Astral Formula he Cultivated was version 7.0, while the cultivation Technique imparted to Huo Yuhao was version 6.5, which also mixed in some of his constructions for version 8.0 of the cultivation Technique, as well as some uncertain paths.
As expected of a Child of Luck, driven by the plane’s consciousness, Huo Yuhao’s cultivation Technique was perfected, unexpectedly reaching the level of version 7.0.
And with the aid of this harvest, he could allow the cultivation Technique to evolve into version 8.0, but in Huang Jinxu’s view, it was still somewhat lacking; he needed to integrate some other things to advance further.
Sometimes Huang Jinxu really felt it was unfair.
Back then, in order to update, iterate, and improve his cultivation Technique, how much effort had he expended, how much data had he collected, and he had even lurked into other forces to collect data, and even searched for the tomb of Tang San’s Disciple Jixiang, attempting to unearth and find the complete version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After tossing and turning for so long, he finally made the Circulating Heavens Astral Formula achieve such efficacy.
Yet for Huo Yuhao, imparting a defective low-version cultivation Technique to him, after just directly practicing it for a bit, directly bypassed his more than ten years of research.
That was truly outrageous.
Though he complained in his heart, he always maintained a sufficiently peaceful mindset.
If he wasn’t the Child of Luck, then he would treat the Child of Luck as a tool to achieve his own purpose.
When Huang Jinxu finished organizing all matters, advanced his cultivation Technique further, and organized the conjectures and extensions for the next version, two days had already passed.
It was also time to take Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest for Spirit hunting.
After all, academy enrollment was about to end soon.
After coming out of seclusion, Huang Jinxu found Huo Yuhao at the first instance.
One had to say, a child raised with money and a child surviving through wandering were simply different.
Only seven days had passed, and Huo Yuhao’s entire person had completely changed.
Feeling his body become substantial, the pale complexion that previously looked somewhat malnourished at a glance gained a bit of rosy tint, even the color of his hair brightened a bit, a sense of confidence was added between his brows, and even his height had grown somewhat.
If the previous Huo Yuhao could only be considered rather delicate and pretty, then the current him possessed an extra bit of handsome and youthful vitality.
In terms of appearance, he was not bad.
This was also within reason; the Dai family’s Bloodline seemed to have no ugly people, coupled with the fact that Huo Yuhao’s mother could serve as a maid in the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, his appearance naturally went without saying.
Inheriting their Bloodline, Huo Yuhao’s foundation was very good.
Previously, he was not only malnourished but also constantly carried a sense of timidity, looking like a sickly weakling trying hard to survive; if not for his foundation being good enough, he wouldn’t look good anywhere.
In just seven days, Huo Yuhao shed his mortal body and exchanged bones, completing an essential transformation.
“Teacher!”
Huo Yuhao, seeing Huang Jinxu appear before him, hurriedly stood up and bowed to welcome him.
Over the past few days, he could constantly feel his own improvement and transformation, and all of this was brought by Teacher.
Even if Teacher did not appear, everyone else in the restaurant arranged everything well for him, and even had him consume two thousand-year whale gums to enhance his physique.
Although his Bloodline was noble, Huo Yuhao had a humble birth, always being an existence at the bottom; when had he ever been cared for and served like this by people?
All of this was given to him by Teacher.
The current Huo Yuhao already regarded Huang Jinxu as an existence second only to Mom.
When facing Huang Jinxu previously, the previous Huo Yuhao still had a sense of distance and alienation, unwilling to get close, but now, he took the initiative to step forward and get close.
“Yuhao, let’s go.
Teacher will take you to hunt for the first spirit ring you need.”
Between his words, Huang Jinxu’s gaze looked toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Having delayed for a full seven days, would the originally established Opportunity still appear?
This was not merely a delay on the timeline; Huang Jinxu previously had Huo Yuhao make sure to cultivate the Circulating Heavens Astral Formula and Illusory Moon Star Pupil to the introductory stage precisely to consume the plane’s power protecting him, coupled with many days of close-range contact, thereby wearing down the Luck on the other party’s body.
At this time period, Huo Yuhao belonged to the weakest time of Luck; then, would Tianmeng Iceworm and Electrolux still appear?
Regarding this, Huang Jinxu was also very expectant.
This would corroborate his own guess, thereby clarifying his future direction of development.
“Teacher, thank you!”
Hearing that he was about to obtain his first spirit ring and thus become a Spirit Master, Huo Yuhao’s heart was instantly filled with anticipation.
Subsequently, Huang Jinxu directly brought Huo Yuhao to fly into the Star Dou Great Forest.
He did not head directly toward the target deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead returned to the place where they had met before.
Seven days later, continuing forward from the meeting place along the route originally predetermined by fate.
