Chapter 23: All-Around Improvement
Chapter 23: All-Around Improvement
Left alone in the room, Shen Yi lay on the bed and summoned the panel.
As a novice in martial arts cultivation, he had learned a lot from the woman's mouth, including terms like Qi Condensing Pill, Essence Refining Pill, and Jade Dew Realm.
His thoughts began to wander.
After a moment, Shen Yi took out the meat orb and wanted to test his idea.
It was slightly smaller than an egg.
He closed his eyes and placed it in his mouth, feeling a pungent bitterness spreading from his tongue, but the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth within it attracted him like honey.
Shen Yi then began to infuse his Demon Lifespan into the True Art of Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing.
【Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: 672 years】
【In the first year, you spent seven months purifying the Beast Core, extracting only its essence while absorbing Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth. Your cultivation progressed rapidly.】
【You successfully filled the sixth chakra, achieving minor success in the True Art of Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing. The essence from the Beast Core continued to flow, and you filled the seventh major meridian.】
【You comprehended Blood Slaughter (Incomplete) from the Beast Core.】
【Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: 671 years】
...
As Shen Yi infused his lifespan, surprise and shock filled his eyes.
His idea proved to be correct.
As long as the treasure pill was in his body, it could influence the martial arts deduction process.
But he didn't expect the effect to be so terrifying.
How long did it take to fill the two energy points before? A full twenty years.
Ingesting a single Beast Core was equivalent to twenty years of arduous cultivation.
This also solved Shen Yi's doubts; mortals had a lifespan of at most a hundred years, and even with Embodied Perfection, entering the Initial Realm only extended their lifespan by forty years.
Demonic Beings, on the other hand, lived for several hundred years, and the Yellow Pelt Clan, with a lower realm, had a lifespan of over five hundred and seventy years.
With such a stark contrast, Demonic Beings could outlive human experts through sheer endurance.
It seemed that the essence of martial arts cultivation was plunder. If one foolishly relied solely on absorbing energy from Heaven and Earth, by the time their hair turned white, they'd likely still be in the early stages of the Initial Realm.
"What is this Blood Slaughter?"
Shen Yi looked at the panel and noticed an additional line of text below the current martial art.
【Blood Slaughter (Incomplete): After consuming the Beast Core of a Demonic Being, you are tainted by its impurities, which you then comprehend and make your own. The Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth within you gains a corrosive effect.】
After reading the description, Shen Yi suddenly thought of the Yellow Pelt Clan's demonic technique.
If it weren't for his higher realm, he might have suffered the same fate as those corpses, turning into pus.
"At least I have a means of offense now."
Shen Yi focused his mind and continued infusing the Demonic Being's lifespan.
【In the seventeenth year, you fill the eighth major meridian. Due to the excessive energy within you, tainted with your essence, conflicts with the pure Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth, slowing your cultivation progress.】
【In the forty-ninth year, you fill all nine chakras, achieving major success in the True Art of Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing.】
Perhaps due to his abundant resources, Shen Yi didn't hesitate to fully charge it.
【In the seventy-second year, you finally fill the tenth chakra, and this realm gradually becomes clearer to you.】
【In the 104th year, as the water overflows, your body saturates, unable to accommodate any more energy. With twelve chakras filled, the True Art of Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing reaches perfection.】
【Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: 568 years】
If cultivating a martial art is considered a guaranteed success, eventually reaching perfection, then deducing a new martial art is like a lottery.
Shen Yi hesitated, leaving three hundred years for other purposes, and infused the remaining lifespan.
A series of identical prompts followed, leaving him dazed.
In the first year, even though you have reached perfection in your realm, you believe in the principle of no progress means regression. You continue to diligently refine and tirelessly seek from the heavens and earth...
In the tenth year, you continue to seek...
In the twentieth year, you are still seeking...
Line after line of prompts flashed by, each one quickly replaced by the next.
This repeated an unknown number of times.
Shen Yi's palms began to sweat, and just as he was about to give up, a line of text that was clearly different from the previous ones finally appeared before his eyes.
In the 130th year, perhaps as a reward for your hard work, a wisp of breath suddenly condenses in your first Major Meridian, transforming into a drop of Jade Dew.
In the 150th year, the second drop of Jade Dew appears.
In the 268th year, nearly half of the breath in your first Major Meridian has transformed into Jade Dew.
Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: 300 years.
Shen Yi's expression became complicated as he finally realized what was happening.
Condensing breath into liquid, connecting it with what Lin Baiwei had said about the Jade Dew Realm, it wasn't hard to guess that this should be the transformation for the next realm.
Perhaps once all the breath in the Twelve Major Meridians transforms into Jade Dew, one would officially enter the next realm.
The problem was, he hadn't found the way to do it!
During his deductions, he kept using the most straightforward method, endlessly piling up time to allow the breath within his body to convert.
How many Demonic Being lifespans would it take to fill up a single Major Meridian? It wasn't even a case of twice the effort for half the result; it was sheer waste.
Shen Yi closed his eyes and sensed the changes within his body. He found that the Jade Dew was not only thicker than ordinary breath but seemed to have no additional effects.
He sighed and turned his attention to the remaining three forms of martial arts.
The remaining three hundred years were prepared for them.
Blade Technique, Fist Technique, and Lightfoot Skills.
Shen Yi recalled his previous battle with the Yellow Pelt Clan and realized that what he lacked the most was offensive capabilities.
He chose the Demon Subjugation Blade Technique.
In the first year, even though this blade technique is too rudimentary for your current realm, you still pick it up and practice it diligently, just like when you first embarked on the path of martial arts, starting from the basics.
Perhaps due to the previous losses, the situation turned around for the better.
Soon, Shen Yi's eyebrows relaxed.
In the 46th year, you swing your last strike, feeling a sense of relief throughout your body. The crude moves blend in your mind, gradually transforming into something new.
In the 50th year, you have already comprehended an entire set of blade techniques, but for some reason, you feel it's not enough. You stare at the mist swirling around your fingertips and fall into deep thought.
In the 55th year, you have grasped the Initial Realm Blood Slaughter Blade Technique.
Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: 245 years.
Initial Realm Blood Slaughter Blade Technique (Entry).
With countless lifespans of cultivation, the blade technique's realm rapidly ascends, from entry to perfection.
...
At the hour of the rooster's crow.
The government office in Baiyun County was packed with law enforcement officers in the office hall.
Chen Ji stood in the middle, with thirteen dog demon heads by his side.
An elderly man with white hair and beard sat in the main seat, wearing a green collared robe. His eyes were closed, and his bony hands tightly gripped the armrest, the veins on the back of his hand standing out prominently.
"Liu Dianli, demon suppression is also part of our duties..." Song Changfeng explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the demonic heads on the ground before quickly moving away, as if he dared not look any longer.
He waved his hand, "This old man doesn't have such skills. It's your skills, and it's Sir Shen who has the skills... Since that's the case, let him handle the demonic affairs as well."
As he spoke, Liu Dianli suddenly stood up, his face filled with rage as he kicked over the table in front of him.
"Give it all to him to handle!"
