Chu Li nodded slowly. "The Nature Restoration Manifestation can't be like the Eye of Insight, can it?"
"Yes." Shen Xu nodded. "You can't see other people's thoughts, but you can feel them. It's a mysterious feeling. You'll know after cultivating it. The Nature Restoration Manifestation is only average for me, but it might work for you. You're much smarter than me!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Senior Shen, you're too humble."
"You should call me master!" Shen Xu shook his head. "I never lie. I'm as honest as I can be. Listen to the incantation."
He recited a part of the incantation. Chu Li listened carefully.
Shen Xu asked him to repeat it, and Chu Li repeated it word for word.
Shen Xu nodded. "If you can't memorize it after three times, you're not suitable to cultivate this technique. Remember it in one go. It's indeed suitable for this technique, and it'll be very powerful. I'll explain it to you in detail."
Chu Li nodded and listened attentively.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Chu Li had no more questions, and all that was left was to cultivate.
Shen Xu took out a sparkling white statue from his bosom.
It was the size of a palm, and it was lifelike. It was a statue of a Taoist in a feather robe. His handsome face had a smile on it, and his steps were light and graceful.
"This is the legacy item of our Nature Peak," Shen Xu said. "Without this, you can't cultivate even if you get the heart technique."
He passed it to Chu Li. "Hold it and start cultivating. See if you can get started."
Chu Li took it. It was warm to the touch, but there was a hint of heat. It was like jade, but not jade. The material was strange.
He knew it was not jade the moment he touched it. It was so hard that swords could not leave a mark on it.
Touching the white statue, he closed his eyes and started cultivating the heart technique.
The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth flowed along a strange path. It was a path that he had never thought of before. As he was cultivating, a burning force entered his body from his palm, merging with the flowing spiritual energy.
After one circulation, his mind lit up. Suddenly, a space appeared in front of him. It looked like the small house he was in.
As the Manifestation of Nature Restoration continued to circulate, waves of scorching aura seeped into his body.
The small house first appeared in his mind, then himself, and then Shen Xu.
The Shen Xu in Chu Li's mind was staring at him.
His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were clear, his lips were slightly pursed, his shoulders were slumped, his hands were clenched into fists, and the muscles on his back were tense. He looked at him eagerly, as if he was about to speak at any moment.
Chu Li could not see what was going on in Shen Xu's mind, but he could feel that he was very nervous. Shen Xu wanted nothing more than to help, and he was ready to explain the incantation at any time to help.
This was indeed a mysterious feeling, as if everything was under his control. He was very clear about what Shen Xu was going to do next.
"How is it?" Shen Xu saw him open his eyes and quickly asked.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I've seen you and me in my mind. Does that mean I've mastered it?"
"He is indeed a genius!" Shen Xu nodded his head and said, "Yes, I've mastered it. Next, I'll have to improve bit by bit. When I reach the deepest level, I'll be able to see further, see more, and see deeper."
Chu Li nodded. "Thank you, Senior Shen."
"Now I can be considered to be your Master." Shen Xu said, "Your previous Master taught you Dharma, I taught you martial arts, we have nothing to do with each other."
"Yes, thank you … Master." Chu Li shook his head and smiled as he closed fist saluted.
He was not used to it. His Master was Master Sky Leaf from the Temple of Autumn. He had gone back a few times, and now that he was still alive, it was time for him to go back and visit.
"Sigh …" Shen Xu shook his head and sighed. "It's not that I want to force you to call me Master, it's just that I have no other choice! Now, only you and I are left in the Peak of Nature. "
Chu Li was stunned.
Shen Xu shook his head and sighed. "The martial arts of the Peak of Nature is difficult to master, and its power is average, so there are very few disciples. Other than the disciples from other peaks, you're the only official disciple."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Is it that difficult?"
"It requires too much talent," Shen Xu shook his head and said, "If I hadn't eaten a miraculous fruit when I was young, I wouldn't have been able to master it."
Chu Li looked at him curiously.
Shen Xu said, "Back then, Eldest Sister obtained an ancient ruin, and this miraculous fruit was left there. There were two of them, I ate one and gave the other to Young Qi."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He guessed that this miraculous fruit was used to strengthen the soul. However, although Shen Xu's soul was strong, far stronger than ordinary people, it could not stop his Omniscient Mirror. It was far from Xiao Qi's. It might have something to do with the technique he cultivated.
Shen Xu said, "Fortunately, there's you, the Peak of Nature is not destroyed. After I die, you'll be the peak leader, and the most important thing will be the same as me – to find a successor and pass down the Nature Restoration Manifestation!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's still too early for that."
Shen Xu said, "That's true, those who can cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation have a long life, it's fine to live up to three hundred years. Alright, it's not suitable for you to stay for too long, go back."
"… Master, you're leaving?" Chu Li asked.
He was not used to the word 'Master', so it was a little stiff.
Shen Xu nodded and said, "I'll leave immediately too. If you have time, come back to the mountain to take a look."
"Yes," Chu Li closed fist saluted.

When he returned to Tianshu Courtyard, it was already late at night. Siao Shi was still awake, pacing in the courtyard, obviously waiting for him.
Seeing him return, Siao Shi said unhappily, "You're finally back!"
Chu Li smiled, "From today onwards, I'm a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain."
"Hmm — —?" Siao Shi looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li told her what happened, and Siao Shi was shocked.
"You're a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain now?" Siao Shi said in disbelief, "That's too fast and too easy!"
She knew how difficult it was to enter the four major sects. Many geniuses wanted to enter but were rejected. Before they could enter, they had to go through countless tests and at least three years of observation before they could finally step into the sect.
Chu Li, on the other hand, entered without a word. Moreover, he had too many disadvantages, so why would the Amethyst Mountain agree?
Chu Li smiled and said, "Because my qualifications are good enough, and they're thirsty for talent, so we hit it off. The most important thing is that the Third Lady's uncle is now my master."
"Uncle?" Siao Shi was surprised.
Chu Li looked at her expression and did not know Shen Xu's identity.
Siao Shi shook her head, "Sister's mother's identity is sensitive. Father had given a strict order not to talk about it, so I really don't know what siblings she has. I didn't expect her uncle to be a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain!"
Chu Li said, "Why didn't the Third Lady enter the Amethyst Mountain?"
"It must have something to do with the sword scripture that she cultivated." Siao Shi said.
Chu Li nodded.
The Regal Sword Scripture was powerful enough, so there might be more to it. He would ask when he had the chance.
"You want to go to the Amethyst Mountain?"
"Not now. I'll go when I have time in the future."
"Then what's the difference between you and not entering the Amethyst Mountain?"
"There's no difference." Chu Li smiled, "I don't have to go anywhere."
Siao Shi secretly sighed in relief.
She said it nicely, asking Chu Li to enter the Amethyst Mountain and not care about her, but she was feeling melancholy. If he really left, she could not stay in the Imperial Residence of King An any longer. It would feel like a year.
Now that he was not leaving, staying in the Imperial Residence of King An was quite comfortable, even though he was busy all day and only came back at night.
Chu Li said, "I can finally have some peace and quiet. I want to focus on my cultivation in the Imperial Residence and not care about worldly affairs."
