I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

Three days later, snow fell lightly.

Su Han leaned against the soft couch by the window, sipping a cup of hot wine, gazing at the snowy scenery outside. He couldn't help but feel content. After temporarily resolving the Li family's threat, these past few days had been too comfortable.

Especially the chaotic thoughts that had suddenly proliferated a few days ago.

Under the burning of the Heart Lamp's fire, the progress of the Heart Lamp Method had soared (6000/10000). Originally, it would have taken a month or two to reach this point, but now it only took three days.

Even the Scripture of Purity and Stillness had also progressed.

Progress (2780/10000)

In a few more days, the progress would be more than halfway done.

Moreover, this momentum showed no signs of slowing down. Those chaotic thoughts were still constantly growing, giving him enough fuel to nourish the growth of his mind.

He didn't know who was doing it.

If he knew, he would definitely thank them properly.

Su Han took a sip and smiled slightly.

After several days of anomalies, even the most obtuse person would have realized what was happening. Someone was definitely secretly targeting him, and it was probably a mental attack.

Before entering the Divine Gate, a martial artist's mind was indeed fragile.

At least not as strong as their physical body and qi.

But the person behind the scenes didn't expect it.

That he had already cultivated a precious mental secret method!

The means used against him had instead become nourishment for his growth.

As for who was secretly targeting him, he had a few suspects: the traitor from the Cao Gang, or the Li family licking their wounds in a hidden corner, saying nothing.

Of course, it could also be other forces.

Such as the White Lotus Sect, whose influence outside the city was growing day by day.

But it didn't matter who it was now.

He was only afraid of not being targeted!

Of losing the path to rapid progress.

After finishing the bottle of medicinal wine, the medicinal power surged. Su Han took advantage of this power to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, and practiced the Heart Lamp Method and the Scripture of Purity and Stillness again. Perhaps in a few more days, his Heart Lamp Method would reach completion.

The brilliant mind manifested as a bright lamp, illuminating thousands of dark places!

Outside the Cao Gang, on a nearby high building.

Zhuge Xi and the dark-skinned youth sat together, drinking wine and enjoying the snow.

"Tsk tsk, this Su Han is really patient. He's been staying in the Cao Gang for several days, not going out to the streets at all. There's no chance to meet him. I guess we'll have to wait until the cleanup operation in three days to see him. I wonder if he's prepared."

"But I have to say, this is very effective in avoiding assassination."

The dark-skinned youth picked up a large piece of meat and said indifferently.

"Wu Shan, are you subtly mocking his cowardice?"

Zhuge Xi smiled lightly and took a sip of wine.

"I didn't say that. You're the one who thinks so. Speaking of which, why are you so concerned about this Su Han? You even went to the trouble of collecting all his information in advance. Even if the curator praises him highly, it's not worth you doing that. The curator has made mistakes before."

"It's not like you to value someone so much."

Wu Shan asked, puzzled.

"It's okay to tell you, he's not in the game."

Zhuge Xi replied calmly, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

This made him have to pay attention.

His own game of chess was slowly taking shape. As long as the situation was set, he could immediately control the situation and stir up the wind and clouds in Ping'an County, this trapped dragon's game.

He didn't want everything to be disrupted by a sudden outsider.

"Not in the game? So what? It sounds rare. Your deduction has so many loopholes. When you and I fought in the beginning, you didn't predict who would win or lose."

Wu Shan smiled disdainfully, not taking it seriously.

"Your family is really mystical. Instead of becoming a martial artist, you're more suitable to become those heretical cultivators, chanting about destiny, fate, and luck every day. How can such a mysterious thing work?"

"We martial artists rely on our fists!"

He said firmly, but Zhuge Xi smiled slightly and said:

"Then how do you know that our family wasn't really heretical before? You may not understand enough about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune."

"And the theory of destiny, fate, and luck is not mysterious."

"It is a real thing."

"Thousands of years ago, the Taizu established the Great Li Dynasty with destiny. In the thousands of years since then, destiny has been clear. No matter who wanted to rebel, before they could even act, they would be suppressed and backfired by destiny."

"That's why the Great Li has had a thousand years of national fortune."

"But now, the Great Li's destiny is gradually being lost. Dragons and snakes are rising in various states and prefectures, and many people with noble fates who carry part of the destiny and luck have been born. Whether they succeed or fail, they are destined to achieve great things in the upcoming troubled times."

Wu Shan curled his lips:

"Come on, I feel like strength is the most important thing. The so-called fate is just an addition to strength. When you win, others will think your fate is noble and think you are destined."

Zhuge Xi couldn't help but shake his head:

"Sometimes talking to you is like playing the qin to a cow. It's better to call that swordsman who pretends to be blind even though he's not. You just need to know that everything I do has a reason."

He sighed in his heart, feeling emotional.

Troubled times were about to begin, and countless people wanted to transform from snakes into dragons.

He was no exception.

In this chess game in Ping'an County, he must be the chess player and win to the end.

Ultimately verifying what he had learned!

As for variables and outsiders?

Their family had an ancestral motto—

"If there are changes in the game, you can make them unchanged!"

Zhuge Xi's eyes were long and distant, looking at the distant mountains. Illusory images appeared before his eyes, showing dragons bound by chains, struggling non-stop. Some of the chains had already broken......

Outside the gate, in the refugee camp.

Wu Lian stared at the Jingguan altar in front of him, frowning.

What's going on? It's been three days, and there's no movement at all? Is that kid named Su Han so resistant? There's no sign of decline at all, or is he just stubbornly holding on?

His secret ritual can last up to five days.

This doesn't mean that he can't kill people on the first day.

Generally speaking, if an ordinary martial artist was cursed by him like this, they would die on the first day. Even ordinary geniuses would have reached their limit after two or three days.

He said five days to show respect for Su Han.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately bit his withered finger, and a drop of blood essence dripped onto the altar. His eyes immediately turned pale, but his expression was excited. He refined it with blood essence to increase the intensity.

He didn't believe that he couldn't curse Su Han to death in the remaining two days!

Even if it would damage his vitality, so what?

As long as he could solve the obstacles for these Holy Sons to receive dragon qi, he would have great merit in the future. A few elixirs and divine medicines would be enough to replenish his vitality, and he might even take another step forward.

Time flew by like an arrow, and two days had passed.

Heart Lamp Method progress (9980/10000)

About to reach completion!
