Suddenly, he stopped moving.
But he saw Lu Chenzhou’s face twisted fiercely, his body swelling, and his training clothes rustling without any wind. A strong wind and montum rose to the sky, and he seed to transform into an invisible black Fierce Tiger, standing atop a precipice thousands of feet high, its roar shaking the mountains and rivers!
Roar!
The elderly man’s face showed slight surprise, and he smiled.
"Interesting, a strong montum, and it can communicate with the Heavenly Heart Mark, using the eternal will of the Tiger Form to forcibly suppress the residual power of the Mutant Beast. Not bad, not bad.
Despite that, this is just from absorbing a wisp of dicine. It seems that even top talents should not consu this Martial Arts Elixir forcefully."
Lu Chenzhou ca back to his senses, already drenched in sweat.
His expression changed, obviously sowhat shocked.
Lu Chenzhou asked,
"Elder, what is this pill called?"
The elderly man chuckled,
"Yellow Spirit Body Breaking Pill, how is it, I didn’t scare you, did I?"
Lu Chenzhou nodded like a pecking chicken, still frightened,
"It really is extraordinary, no wonder it’s forbidden for those who are not Martial Artists to consu... Just now, a hideous, bizarre creature with wings and four legs invaded my mind."
The elderly man explained,
"It’s called [Sky-Flipping Lumpy Beast], and what you confronted was rely a trace of its will imprint that couldn’t be erased during the pill-making process. If its true form were before you, ten of you wouldn’t be its match. Only seasoned Martial Artists can contend with such beings... You are far from the Extre Limit Realm."
Lu Chenzhou gasped.
"Elder, is this a Void Thing?"
The elderly man shook his head,
"No, it’s also a creature of the Void Realm, but not a ’demon ghost’; rather, it’s an extrely rare type of ’Mutant Beast.’"
Lu Chenzhou pondered,
"So, this is a Mutant Beast. Wait... is this pill made from the blood and flesh of a Mutant Beast? Does it contain evil powers from the Void Realm?"
This pill reminded him of the Void Blade.
This object, made from Void Relics and tal, inevitably contained the invasive power unique to Void Things, not controllable by those without strong willpower.
The more powerful the Void Blade, the greater the requirent for the wielder’s willpower.
For those who are not Martial Artists, the most powerful Void Blade that they can handle is made from Nether Level Void Relics... Anything stronger poses a risk of corruption.
The elderly man noted,
"Mutant Beasts are extrely rare, often residing in oases, so their bodies do not contain the cold evil power. Thus, their flesh can be used to make Martial Arts Elixirs, but such beings, comparable to Martial Artists, possess extrely powerful wills.
Thus, even in death, when their flesh is processed into dicine, residual will imprints remain, which is the source of side effects of the Great dicine. Only the will of a Martial Artist can easily ignore and erase such imprints. You can extinguish them, but it’s overly forced and dangerous; any carelessness can result in backlash, leading to a dangerous state of manic cultivation."
"Thank you for answering my questions, elder. I have another question."
"Go ahead."
"In the old tis of Da Xia, there were often legends about Mutant Beasts, like the Fire Deer of the Fire Spirit Cave in Western Sichuan, the Blue Bird of Kunlun, and the Sky Flipping Snake of the East Sea... Are these creatures the sa kind as the Mutant Beasts of the Void Realm?"
The elderly man pondered for a mont and then replied,
"I am not sure, as these have already beco extinct and no fossil remains have been discovered. They exist only in the accounts of ancient texts, which inevitably involve artistic embellishnt and exaggeration... However, the academic community generally believes there is a relationship.
Compared to demon ghosts, so Mutant Beasts do not have a desire to attack humans, and it is not ruled out that so Mutant Beasts might have left the Void Realm to nest in our world.
Moreover, with the undeveloped technology of ancient tis and sparse population, so ancient people might even have regarded them as Holy Beasts or divine spirits, and over ti, these legends have been passed down.
..."
This elderly man, truly worthy of his position managing the dicine room.
If in the old tis, he would have been akin to a simple monk in the Scripture Pavilion.
With knowledge spanning across ages, Lu Chenzhou gained a lot.
Upon leaving, he finally asked,
"Elder, what is the price of this Yellow Spirit Body Breaking Pill?"
The elderly man laughed,
"100 Great rits per pill, with effects lasting one to two weeks. By the average standards of a Martial Artist, it can approximately improve the speed of Opening the Acupoint by one-fifth. But for you talents, it’s hard to say; so experience exceptionally good effects, others just average."
"Yikes... that’s kind of expensive."
Lu Chenzhou drew a sharp breath.
The elderly man sighed,
"Yes, very expensive, tragically. But there’s nothing to be done, as Mutant Beasts are too scarce, making them a strategic resource of Da Xia... This is just Acupoint dicine for Martial Artists. If you knew the price of Enlightennt Elixirs taken by Martial Arts Grandmasters, you’d truly have a crisis of faith.
Thus, I say, in Heavenly Pile Cultivation, only hard work prevails. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Enlightennt Elixirs have little to do with ordinary people. Like the Qingtian Cang, who even disdains taking Enlightennt Elixirs, the 720 acupoints in his body, all were developed through hard work!"
Lu Chenzhou contemplated, then turned and left.
"I’d better stick to normal practice."
He wouldn’t try to emulate Qingtian Cang.
For Cang, it’s easy to speak without the pain.
He currently lacks the exceptional acupoint talent.
As long as he can handle the side effects of the dicine.
When he has money in the future, he will take dicine as needed, without sha.
...
The day before the competition.
Su City’s i You Airport.
A small passenger plane carrying the top 30 contestants of the Hidden Dragon competition soared into the sky. One hour later, it had already reached the territory of Jin, Lu Chenzhou sitting at the window, looking down at the majestic and precarious Taihang Mountain Range, truly sprawling across Da Xia like a soaring dragon.
Wang Hong asked,
"Chenzhou, you’ve never been to the headquarters, have you?"
Lu Chenzhou nodded.
Qingtian Cang said,
"No worries, after the competition, let Wang Hong take you for a tour in the headquarters, add so friends among the geniuses there, and exchange so insights on Martial Arts."
