Five days passed, and Wu Tian still couldn't persuade San Qianmian.
Not only that, but San Qianmian refused to even see him, clearly feeling that Wu Tian had been bothering him these past few days.
Even so, it was impossible for Wu Tian to just go back.
Since he had promised Yagami Yuriko that he would see things through, he would not break his word.
Moreover, Yagami Yuriko had given him such an important item as the immortal root. If he messed things up, it would be inexcusable, both morally and logically.
Coupled with the fact that the competition date was drawing nearer, Wu Tian felt he couldn't continue like this.
Being polite was useless. Perhaps a more assertive approach would yield better results with San Qianmian.
With this thought, he didn't hesitate and sought out San Qianmian again, intending to resolve the matter of disguise completely today.
However, when he reached the wooden house, he found that there seemed to be no one inside.
He tried knocking on the door, but still received no response.
So, he decided to disregard it. Seeing that the wooden door was not locked, he walked directly into the house.
The house was not large, in fact, it was rather cramped. Everything could be seen at a glance.
Yet, strangely, he couldn't find San Qianmian in the house.
This situation exceeded Wu Tian's expectations.
His heart sank. He wondered, could it be that he had bothered San Qianmian too much, and he had already left?
This was definitely not a situation Wu Tian wanted to see. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was another back door directly opposite him!
The back door was not closed, and it seemed San Qianmian had left through it.
With this in mind, Wu Tian walked towards the back door. To his surprise, the back door only led to the mountain forest behind, with nothing unusual.
He followed the mountain path, constantly paying attention to the movements around him.
After walking for less than two minutes, a low booming sound suddenly echoed from ahead, startling the birds in the forest, which scattered into the sky.
Wu Tian knew something must be happening there, so he hurried over.
When he reached a clearing, he abruptly stopped and quickly hid behind a large tree.
Because he saw San Qianmian standing in the clearing, with spiritual energy flickering around his fist.
He peeked over and saw that large patches of leaves were scattered at San Qianmian's feet, and San Qianmian was trembling slightly as he looked at the large tree in front of him.
"Why is this happening... Why is this happening!" San Qianmian suddenly shouted in anger.
"Heaven, you clearly gave me spiritual energy, but why did you give me such low-grade talent!"
"Will I only be able to stay at level three my entire life? I'm not resigned, I'm not resigned!"
San Qianmian's voice was trembling and hoarse, clearly filled with grief and indignation.
Hearing this, Wu Tian seemed to understand something and quickly used his clairvoyance to examine San Qianmian's physical condition.
He was shocked by what he saw. Wu Tian discovered that although San Qianmian possessed a spiritual palace, it was blocked by a large amount of stagnant qi, and the spiritual energy content was very low.
This condition was known as congenital developmental dysplasia.
With so much stagnant qi blocking the spiritual palace, it meant there was no space for spiritual energy to be generated, thus making it impossible to level up.
Combining this with San Qianmian's grief-stricken tone, Wu Tian understood. San Qianmian must have been obsessed with cultivating spiritual energy, but no matter what, his spiritual energy could only remain at level three.
As a result, San Qianmian's spirit had suffered a great collapse, leading him to disregard everything and hide in the forest to live in seclusion.
After figuring this out, Wu Tian felt relieved.
He had been troubled because he couldn't understand San Qianmian's state of mind.
But now that he knew San Qianmian's pain point, the problem was much easier to solve.
Therefore, he no longer concealed himself and walked directly into the clearing, smiling at San Qianmian and saying, "Mr. San Qianmian, so you were here. You made me search everywhere."
San Qianmian only then noticed Wu Tian's presence.
He quickly composed himself, then frowned and said, "Are you sick? Why are you so persistent!"
"I've told you many times, I won't help you, I won't help you. How many times do I have to tell you before you leave me alone?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Mr. San Qianmian, don't be so agitated."
"I've come this time because I genuinely want to make a deal with you. Please believe me, the conditions I offer this time will surely move you."
San Qianmian had no desire to talk to Wu Tian, and coupled with his current gloomy mood, he became even more impolite.
He said coldly, "I'm not interested in what you have to say. You'd better get lost now and don't bother me!"
"I've tolerated you for a long time, but if you still don't know what's good for you, then I'll have to be impolite!"
Facing San Qianmian's impolite demeanor, Wu Tian still smiled and said, "Mr. San Qianmian, don't be so angry. After all, we have no enmity between us, do we?"
"Please believe me, you won't refuse the conditions I propose this time. I'm not joking."
But San Qianmian could no longer listen.
He said angrily, "I've already told you so much, but you still won't leave, right? If that's the case, then I apologize!"
With that, San Qianmian truly lost face and actually raised his fist, charging directly at Wu Tian!
It was evident that under his agitated mood, San Qianmian had indeed lost his temper.
When attacking Wu Tian, he didn't hold back at all, his fist even enveloped in strong spiritual energy.
But facing his imposing manner, Wu Tian appeared exceptionally calm, simply smiling and saying, "Have you never considered that your spiritual energy level could be improved again?"
The moment these words left his mouth, San Qianmian's steps abruptly stopped, and his fist was only millimeters away from Wu Tian's nose.
San Qianmian looked at Wu Tian with shocked eyes, clearly disbelieving his ears.
He stammered, "Wh-what did you just say?"
"Say it again!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I said, I have a way to help you remodel your spiritual palace."
"So, can you accept this condition?"
