Chapter 115: Ghost-Axe Destiny Pill
Yaogu truly was an intelligent creature!
The moment it heard Li Mu’s command, its stupid body gave a sudden shudder, and it bared its fierce gums.
There was still horse manure stuck to them.
Its hind legs went stiff, and its front legs stamped forward step by step until it reached Qin Zhanye.
Then Qin Zhanye pulled out a huge chunk of monster meat from his Storage Ring.
Thunk.
He threw it onto the ground.
Five minutes later.
Near the Teleportation Array, some Abyss-Suppressing Army soldiers saw from afar that Yaogu was carrying Li Mu and ambling leisurely toward the array.
As they went, Li Mu kept cursing it with things like “spineless,” “glutton,” and “stupid dog.”
Meanwhile, Yaogu walked with an arrogant swagger, still chewing something contentedly in its mouth, looking as though it was savoring the taste.
...
For the next seven days, the only major event in Ironhand City was that Ling Haidong, the Deputy Minister of Resources for the East District, was secretly detained for investigation.
Saint Dragon Martial Academy was also subjected to rectification.
That once overbearing Madam Ling, Zhao Hong, ran around everywhere. When she could not find Li Mu, she went to Bai Tiewei and Wang Longcheng instead.
Of course, even when she had still been the wife of a Deputy Minister, those two might not necessarily have paid her any attention.
Now, she could not even get a meeting.
In the end, she grew so desperate that she actually begged Yin Changming for help, hoping he would pass a message along to Li Mu.
Yin Changming smiled cheerfully on the surface, but in truth, he did not even make a single phone call to Li Mu.
He could not find Li Mu anyway.
That entire week, Li Mu was in a state of near-seclusion and did not come to school even once.
Even Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng had started acting mysteriously.
In truth, Li Mu had spent those seven days very comfortably.
During the day, whenever he had nothing else to do, he went into the Abyss to kill monsters.
Of course, most of each day was spent looking for monsters. Even so, he could still earn around 3,000 Triumph Points in a day.
In the afternoons, when he was free, he drank with Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng and chatted idly.
Over the next few days, Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng even started going monster-hunting with Li Mu.
The three of them went straight for places where monsters were plentiful.
At night, Li Mu shut himself inside the Blessed Field Art and worked on herbs.
Over these past few days, he had earned roughly 20,000 Triumph Points.
Whenever he had points, Li Mu spent them on the Blessed Field Art.
He spent 6,000 points and unlocked two more enhancement effects.
[The Spiritual Spring is of higher quality, and its spiritual qi is doubled.]
[Every three days, you may choose one mu of land and bring down sweet rain upon it. Each rainfall can add fifty years of maturity to plants.]
Li Mu could not help complaining that, out of all his divine abilities so far, the Blessed Field Art’s enhancement nodes consumed the most Triumph Points!
Just unlocking the sweet rain enhancement alone had cost 4,000 points!
Still, there was no helping it. Up to this point, it was also the divine ability that had contributed the most to improving his strength.
His Alchemy Art depended entirely on the Blessed Field Art for support, and in terms of strengthening him, it was even more useful than Listen Close.
With these two enhancement effects, Li Mu felt profoundly grateful that he had planted the hardest-to-mature herbs in the same area.
The sweet rain’s one-mu range covered them perfectly.
On the night of the seventh day, all of Li Mu’s herbs finally matured.
Li Mu was overjoyed as he harvested them all!
He directly obtained 31 High-Grade Body-Fortifying Pills, 24 High-Grade Qi-Gathering Pills, and 16 Earthvein Spirit Blossom Pills.
Military Residential District.
Li Mu’s room.
It was already 2:07 in the morning.
Looking at the bed covered in the pills he had refined, Li Mu took a deep breath.
Grrr...After staying up so late, he was actually getting a little hungry.
Li Mu directly picked up two High-Grade Body-Fortifying Pills and swallowed them first.
It had been about ten days since he last took those four Body-Fortifying Pills.
As Li Mu carefully felt the effects, he confirmed that these two pills still showed some drug resistance, but the resistance had clearly receded quite a bit.
The effects of these two pills were roughly equal to the effects of the third and fourth pills he had taken last time.
That proved that time could reduce drug resistance.
It was just that the time required might be rather long.
Li Mu still needed to find some way to eliminate drug resistance quickly.
Otherwise, having so many pills that he could not digest properly would become a problem in itself.
Right after that, Li Mu ate four High-Grade Qi-Gathering Pills and two Earthvein Spirit Blossom Pills in succession.
Before the medicinal effects had even begun to manifest, Li Mu was full...
The next moment, an enormous tide of spiritual qi began gathering from all directions.
Li Mu hurriedly straightened his posture and prepared to welcome his glorious evolution...
At that moment, Li Mu was like a giant whale in the deepest sea, drawing in endless spiritual qi into his body.
Then, refined and purified by the Earthvein Spirit Blossom Pills, it madly improved the quality of Li Mu’s Dantian Sea.
In only a few moments, white light burst brilliantly from Li Mu’s body!
Even with the curtains drawn, the light in his room still pierced the night sky through the gaps!
The Fifth Grade node of his Yellow Rank Life Meridian shattered with ease, and the force surged straight toward the Sixth Grade node!
About half an hour later—Boom!!
A second burst of white light, tinged faintly with gold, pierced the night sky once more.
The bottleneck of Yellow Rank Sixth Grade had been broken!
Li Mu completely digested the medicinal power and, with the help of the Earthvein Spirit Blossom Pills, thoroughly stabilized the strength of his Dantian Sea and meridians.
He had already reached the middle stage of Sixth Grade.
Only when the medicinal effects had nearly faded completely did Li Mu open his eyes in wild delight!
He had crossed two minor grades in a row!
High-Grade pills really were incredible!
And with the help of the Earthvein Spirit Blossom Pills, not only was his realm not unstable, it was exceptionally solid.
“Damn it. No wonder so many people throughout history have been obsessed with alchemy.”
“It’s just a pity that I can’t experience the pain of failed pill refinement, so I have no way to experience the joy of success when a pill is finally formed.”
“What a shame.”
“This kind of dullness from having a one-hundred-percent success rate—please let me keep experiencing it forever, hahaha!!”
In a splendid mood, Li Mu opened the system.
The first thing he looked at was the Inferior Heavenly Immortal Art.
His internal cultivation method was the very core foundation of his strength.
At First Grade cultivation, he had the No-Grade Heavenly Immortal Art. At Third Grade, it had upgraded to Inferior Grade.
So at Fifth Grade, it ought to be able to advance again.
Sure enough, behind Inferior Heavenly Immortal Art, the “Advance” option Li Mu had long dreamed of finally appeared.
It could advance into the Lesser Heavenly Immortal Art.
But after only one glance at the price, Li Mu could no longer smile.
It required 10,000 Triumph Points.
At present, Li Mu only had 14,000 Triumph Points left.
It was not that he could not afford it.
Rather, Li Mu realized that upgrading from No-Grade to Inferior Grade had cost 1,000, while upgrading from Inferior Grade to Lesser Grade required 10,000.
If that pattern continued, the next step upward would be 100,000 Triumph Points.
It would be fine if it could go straight to Great Grade after that, but what if there was a Middle Grade in between?
Would upgrading from Middle Grade to Great Grade cost a million?
Forget it for now!
Li Mu directly spent 10,000 Triumph Points and advanced the Heavenly Immortal Art.
[Inferior Heavenly Immortal Art has advanced!]
[Lesser Heavenly Immortal Art: Deepens your understanding of the cultivation arts you practice by two hundred years, greatly improves the Dantian Sea and meridians, and doubles the effects of the three traits “Returnspring,” “Replenishment,” and “Bone-Piercing”! When attacking an opponent, if the opponent possesses a talent, their talent will be seized when they are near death and condensed into a Destiny Spirit Crystal! Destiny Spirit Crystals can be used to locate a formula within the Alchemy Art and refined into pills!]
Li Mu was stunned.
Kill people, seize talents, and refine them into pills?
Li Mu suddenly came back to himself.
It seemed that the Great Heavenly Immortal Art of the Great Sage had always been a method for seizing the providence of Heaven and Earth...
To seize the providence of Heaven and Earth and pry into the hidden mysteries of the sun and moon.
If even Heaven and Earth could be taken, then why not man?
Li Mu immediately opened the Alchemy Art and found the pill formula mentioned by the Heavenly Immortal Art.
It was worth 2,000 Triumph Points.
[Ghost-Axe Destiny Pill]
Li Mu unlocked it without the slightest hesitation!
The moment he saw the effect of the Heavenly Immortal Art, the very first person who came to mind was someone specific!
The Li Family! Li Xiaohao!!
Even now, Li Mu could still vividly remember Li Xiaohao’s wild and triumphant expression when the Talent Transfer Elixir had succeeded.
Smiling arrogantly, Li Xiaohao had said to him, “I’ll make sure to use your talent properly and rise all the way to the peak.”
[Ghost-Axe Destiny Pill Formula: Hundred-Year Drybone Grass, Seven-Colored Soulreturn Flower, Earth-Ascending Lotus, Destiny Spirit Crystal.]
[Ghost-Axe Destiny Pill: Whoever consumes this pill may obtain a “Destiny Talent” that coexists with their own innate talent. Each person may possess only one “Destiny Talent.”]
In other words, he could seize one person’s talent and place it onto someone else!
If he took Li Xiaohao’s talent and used it himself,
then in the future, would he no longer be able to seize some other, even higher-grade talent?
But it did not matter!
The purpose of taking Li Xiaohao’s talent was not to make himself stronger, but to strip Li Xiaohao of that talent!
Even if he took Li Xiaohao’s talent and did not use it himself, he could feed it to a dog for all he cared!
