Su Yin, who had made all preparations, didn't know that his stomp on The Great Demon of Bliss nearly caused his soul to dissipate. At this moment, he was immersed in the refinement of the medicinal herbs.
Just as he had guessed, from the moment he started refining, the spiritual energy in his body began to move toward his dantian.
Medicinal herbs were fused and refined one after another. Flames burned around the cauldron, controlling the pill energy to converge toward the dough. The latter was also shaking non-stop, as though it was undergoing some kind of transformation.
As time passed, the spiritual energy finally entered his dantian. In an instant, a violent explosion sounded in his head. His vision blurred, and Su Yin seemed to have entered another world.
It was empty, and there was nothing there. It was like a silent and empty night.
All of a sudden, 36 dark stars appeared in the sky, spinning slowly above his head. As though finding a home, the spiritual energy drilled into one of them.
Weng!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded. The stars were like balls covered in turpentine that came into contact with a torch, and they lit up instantly. Under the illumination of the light, Su Yin saw that the stars in the sky weren't stars, but a massive circular plate. It was divided into 36 parts, and they were intertwined with each other, forming a massive Taiji diagram.
"Could it be the 36 arts that I have learned?" Su Yin was taken aback. Realization struck him.
36 arts combined to form a Taiji diagram. Just that... why would there be such a thing in his dantian?
Taking a closer look, the area lit up by the spiritual energy was like a massive pool. A wisp of spiritual energy flowed freely in it, as though a drop of water had appeared in the ocean. It was insignificant.
Yet, this insignificant wisp of spiritual energy gave him the feeling that it possessed strength that surpassed the limits of this world!
Withdrawing his consciousness from his dantian, Su Yin's mind jolted. The drifting spiritual energy was immediately summoned, and it wandered around his body. Then, he grabbed forward.
Boom!
Space warped, and a pitch-black crack appeared before him. The Great Demon, whose soul had just returned to his body, was frightened by this sight. He nearly burst into tears.
Too frightening!
Even if he was at his peak, he would be able to crush the other party easily.
To think that a seemingly powerless fellow would be so terrifying... Damn it, I should dig out my eyes and kick them around like balls...
Liars, a bunch of liars!
Donkey, the tortoise, the parrot, and even the owner of the house were all liars!
After being sealed for eight thousand years, how did the world become like this?
I want to return to the countryside … The next time I get sealed and come out again, I'll be nothing more than a coward!
Oblivious to the Great Demon King's fear, Su Yin was just about to step into the air and try out the flying technique that he had always dreamed of when he saw the medicinal cauldron in front of him explode with a bang.
Without his control over the firewood, the Pill Qi did not fuse with Tang Yuan. The pill refining failed directly!
Huala!
After he finished refining the pill, his strength, which could tear apart the heavens and earth, began to visibly wane. In less than a tenth of a breath, he felt extremely weak, and he no longer had any strength left.
After shivering for a while, he no longer had any distracting thoughts in his heart. He was like a monk or a Buddha.
"…" Su Yin was stunned.
What's going on? I just showed off my cultivation, and now it's gone? Are you messing with me?
He hurriedly looked into his dantian and saw that the surge of spiritual energy that he had absorbed previously had been completely depleted. However, the region and stars that represented the Pill Formation were still emitting a faint glow. As for the other 35 surges, they were incomparably dark, and there was no change to them at all.
"I get it now …"
After some time, Su Yin finally understood everything.
It seemed like it wasn't that he was powerless, but that he needed to fulfill certain conditions!
Firstly, he needed to possess that unique spiritual energy. Secondly, he had to be able to utilize it during pill forging … And after pill forging, his strength would return to zero, and he would revert to his identity as an ordinary person.
In other words, if he wanted to fight with others, he had to gather enough spiritual energy before finding a way to forge pills!
Su Yin felt a little frustrated.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen a scene:
Someone wanted to kill him, and a knife was placed on his neck. In the end, he was unable to retaliate at all. Instead, he slowly took out medicinal herbs to forge pills … or picked up a kitchen knife to cut vegetables and cook …
Scam!
If the person who wanted to kill him were to see his actions, he would definitely think that it was a provocation and chop him into pieces. By then, it would be too late for him to cry.
"Forget it, it's good to have strength. Even though I'm powerful in pill forging, I'm still truly powerful …" Su Yin sighed helplessly.
Even though there were limitations to it, strength was still strength. Even though he had never faced other cultivators before, given the strength he had just displayed, he had a feeling that even if Wu Yuen and the others were to charge at him together, he would be able to crush him easily!
"I'm still not too sure what the thirty-six arts correspond to. What would happen if I were to unlock all of them?"
If he was already so formidable in pill forging, would he become even stronger if he were to unlock the other arts?
At this moment, he realized that the thirty-six arts that he had learned in the forbidden grounds weren't as weak as he thought!
Pharmacology and Fire Ignition were all preparations for pill forging. As long as they were fused together, one would be able to form the Pill Formation. Since that was the case … what about the other arts?
What could they be fused into?
"Smithing should be related to smithing, chopping firewood should be related to swordsmanship, and treating sows should be related to medicine …"
If his conjecture was true, then he could understand why Liu Yiyi was so agitated when she saw him chopping firewood. She wasn't spouting nonsense, and it wasn't that she was too talented either. Instead … what he was explaining was really related to swordsmanship!
"It seems like I'll have to make a trip back to the forbidden grounds …"
For the past ten years, those lingering spirits had been saying that what he was learning was just the most basic of arts. Yet … it turned out to be so profound!
Why would a bunch of scammers lie to him like that?
"Of course, that's only if my conjecture is correct!"
In order to verify his conjecture, he had to verify it.
Since he had already experimented with pill forging, he could try smithing or treating swordsmanship. As long as he could draw in a surge of spiritual energy to form a new star, he should be fine.
Knowing what he had to do next, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief and kept the exploding cauldron.
He had wasted so many medicinal herbs, and it was impossible for him to forge a Spirit Condensation Pill.
Turning to look at The Great Demon, Zhang Xuan saw that the other party's injuries were more or less healed.
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Su Yin frowned.
He had learned how to treat injuries, but he hadn't learned how to treat the mind! If he didn't wake up, would he have to take care of a comatose person?
Not only would that be troublesome, he didn't have that much time!
"Forget it, I can get Dahei and Xiao Wu to do it. In any case, they can understand my words. Feeding them should be easy …"
An idea popped up in Su Yin's mind, and he muttered to himself.
Even though those three weren't demonic beasts, they could already understand his words and accomplish many things.
If he didn't have time to take care of them, he could get them to do it.
Lying on the bed, The Great Demon, who was pretending to be unconscious, heard Zhang Xuan's mutterings and nearly went mad.
Needless to say, he had been seen through!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that. Getting Donkey and the parrot to come over … Was that to take care of him? He was afraid that he wouldn't die!
Forget it … I'll stop pretending and lay my cards on the table!
Thinking of this, he controlled his body and snorted. His eyes slowly opened. If I die, then I die. In any case, it's already like this. There's nothing I can do!
At this time, a youth's slightly excited voice echoed in his ear. "It's great that you woke up! Oh right, are you my grand-disciple or … great-grandson? "
"ε (̄ ̄ ﹏ ̄) 3 …" The Great Demon.
How about I be your pet?
I can be your pet's pet. I'm an eight-thousand-year-old monster. Being your grandson, great-grandson … I really can't do it!
