A Night of Desperation-Chapter 541: pills for one dose

The white light disappeared.

Yu Hong’s entire body emitted the crackling sound of bones.

Suddenly, a black line flowed from the Black Mark on his hand, entered his forehead, and then flowed back to the Black Mark after a second.

Soon, a new prompt silently entered Yu Hong’s mind.

‘Aptitude enhancement has reached a qualitative change;you have acquired a trait: Innate Body.’

‘Innate Body (Cultivation Techniques are more advanced than ordinary people, much faster. The meridians and acupoints are naturally unobstructed, achieving complete access. It has a special effect of breaking through bottlenecks without the need to clear meridians or acupoints.’)

‘As expected!’ Yu Hong couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth in a smile.

Since obtaining Lu Xian’s Golden Eye, he had diligently absorbed it every day. Together with the enhancement of his Outer Eye, which in turn improved his entire body’s enhancement.

The Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill sent power into the Outer Eye, then returned it to circulate throughout the body, transforming his entire physique. This cycle, over the past few months, had remodeled his body into a higher aptitude.

Although the foundations of this technique were far inferior to the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique, it had a natural and wonderful effect on feedback and transformation.

‘I anticipated another enhancement in aptitude, but I didn’t expect to gain an extra trait. It works out well, as the traits have reached ten again, and I can continue to fuse them.’

Last time, the effect of the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill combined with the Eye of Destruction failed to achieve anything significant, leading Yu Hong to gradually have a poor impression of this trump card.

Since obtaining this trump card, he had never used it to decisively end a battle.

After contemplating for a moment, he stood up and used Instantaneous Movement, appearing in his safe house the next moment.

He sat down cross-legged again.

Yu Hong closed his eyes and entered his mind.

‘The offensive techniques are still very lacking. Steel Fist and Fierce Tiger Type are almost useless when sparring with experts. The opponents would never wait for me to get into position, and most of the time, the battles are over in the blink of an eye. So, let’s merge these two first. Anyway, I’m about to acquire three more traits from the Mortal Martial Arts techniques.’

The three higher-tier Mortal Martial Arts techniques he chose afterward were nearing perfection under the automatic cultivation of the Tao Breath Thunder Transfer.

Although Tao Breath Thunder Transfer has only eighty percent of the regular cultivation speed, the accumulation over time has brought it near perfection. Plus, his own aptitude was continuously improved and enhanced.

This speed was also considered normal.

Instantly, Yu Hong, in his mind space, reached out and merged the light spheres of Steel Fist and Fierce Tiger Type.

Poof.

The two light spheres quickly merged into a silver-tinged light cluster.

At the same time, the Black Mark countdown appeared: ’11 hours and 24 minutes’.

‘Not too long, fortunately.’

Yu Hong nodded in satisfaction, exiting his mind space.

Sitting cross-legged in the safe house, he exhaled and stood up. The Eye of Transmission activated instantly.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, a dense forest appeared before him.

A few meters away was the well cover leading to the safe point within the Life Well.

Yu Hong opened the well cover, formed a seal with one hand, and pointed forward.

Immediately, countless green branches swiftly surged out from the well, weaving into a light green tunnel entrance.

Yu Hong walked into it calmly.

Entering the tunnel, his vision blurred, and the front suddenly opened up.

A patch of grass two stories high appeared before his eyes, with a few white flowers the size of a bath tub swaying gently in the wind.

His senior sister, Hei Ying, was holding a gigantic black pair of scissors taller than two people, trimming the shape of one of the white flowers.

Seeing Yu Hong emerge from the tunnel, she waved at him from a distance and continued trimming the petal of the flower.

“Why is senior sister gathering flower petals again today? Didn’t you just collect some the day before yesterday?” Yu Hong walked out of the tunnel proficiently and found his own gray cushion on the vacant land, sitting cross-legged.

The small clearing, surrounded by green vines, formed an open area roughly the size of a basketball court.

Several cushions were placed around, which belonged to Yu Hong, Quan He, and Hei Ying.

Originally, Hei Ying didn’t need the vitality from this place early on, but she recently claimed she needed to gather flower petals and often returned to trim materials, seemingly for alchemy practice.

“Don’t mention it, yesterday’s batch was a failure.” Hei Ying’s face showed a look of deep regret, “This time, I’ll gather more to avoid the trouble of coming back and forth frequently.”

“What kind of pill is senior sister refining? Can you tell me?” Yu Hong began to cultivate and absorb the surrounding vitality, asking casually.

“It’s the Lubrication Pill. Some mechanical parts in my and senior brother’s bodies need to take one every now and then to ensure smooth functioning. Otherwise, both cultivation and daily life would be affected.” Hei Ying explained openly.

..” Yu Hong understood immediately. Glancing at Hei Ying standing on the grass, his senior sister was wearing a black dress, and standing in the high place, she revealed a pair of long, white legs, seemingly wearing nothing underneath…

This angle is somewhat impolite at a glance.

Yu Hong immediately averted his gaze.

“By the way, Senior Sister, do you remember if there were any special signs when you were about to break through to Core Formation?” he changed the topic and asked.

“Signs? It’s like all your spirit and power merge into the Dantian, then there’s this… uh, forgetting yourself, forgetting everything, your heart feels empty and uncertain, and you have only one thought, and that is Core Formation.”

Hei Ying was speaking when suddenly she felt a trace of golden light shining from below.

She put down the scissors and looked down.

There, she saw that Yu Hong, the junior brother who was just talking to her, now had a peaceful expression, eyes closed, and his entire skin seemed to be made of gold, emitting a faint golden glow.

Upon closer inspection, Hei Ying found that the golden glow was all emanating from Yu Hong’s abdomen.

There, a golden sun-like particle was slowly rotating, surrounded by countless rune chains gently turning.

“This Hei Ying was stunned. She put down the scissors and leaped down, just landing a few meters in front of Yu Hong.

She bent down to carefully observe her junior brother.

She waved her hand in front of his face.

No reaction.

“No way Hei Ying swallowed. “This seems to be… Core Formation!?”

Five months!! It’s only been five months!! Junior Brother has been in the Foundation Establishment stage for less than half a year, and now he’s about to form a core!!?

Hei Ying’s mind buzzed, and she felt a bit numb in an instant.

She stood there, staring intently at Yu Hong, just to see if he could successfully form a core!

Back then, it took her ten years to arduously become a Golden Core cultivator, and now… Junior Brother has taken less than half a year!!

Is there any justice in this world!? Ah!!?

Hei Ying’s face twisted a bit, wishing she were the one meditating and forming a core right now instead of Yu Hong.

She had been stuck in the Nascent Soul Late Stage for countless years, and the path to Divinity Transformation seemed indefinitely far.

And judging by Yu Hong’s speed, wouldn’t he catch up to her millennia of arduous cultivation within a century??

Upon thinking this, an evil fire surged in Hei Ying’s heart.

She took several deep breaths, barely suppressing the jealousy welling up inside her, then looked down again.

Swoosh!

Two pairs of eyes instantly fell on her.

Master Yu Xuezi and Senior Brother Bai Sheng, she didn’t know when they had arrived around them.

Their expressions were serious, staring at Hei Ying.

“Stay away from him, you are too close, it might interfere with your Junior Brother’s breakthrough!” Yu Xuezi said in a deep voice.

Hei Ying glanced at Yu Hong five meters away, her face twisted. This is called close?

She could only retreat more than ten meters.

“Master…..” she said reluctantly.

“Silence, your Junior Brother is in a breakthrough, can you be considerate and not speak!” Yu Xuezi raised his hand and said displeasedly.

“Right, right, it should be quiet.” Bai Sheng nodded repeatedly from the side.

“You shut up too!” Yu Xuezi slapped Bai Sheng on the head, “Is your voice that loud, don’t you have any awareness!?”

At this moment, the usually calm Yu Xuezi had a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

Less than half a year…. Yu Hong actually started forming a core!

Judging from his external condition, he seemed to be doing quite well.

Yu Xuezi had heard about the cultivation speed of Immortal Seeds, and now Yu Hong’s cultivation speed was exactly the same as those top Immortal Seeds contested by major powers!!

For a moment, the three of them surrounded Yu Hong in silent immobility, waiting for the Core Formation to be complete.

Hiss…

A large amount of vitality mist condensed and rapidly gathered around Yu Hong.

Before long, countless vitality gradually coalesced into a ball, enveloping Yu Hong.

As time passed, the golden light on Yu Hong’s body became increasingly bright and dazzling.

“Four stages must be passed from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation,” Yu Xuezi watched Yu Hong intently, speaking through voice transmission.

“If everything goes smoothly. We should see results within three days.”

“Junior Brother is now in the stage of condensing Dan Qi. Are the steps Master mentioned the four final ones: amalgamation, molding pattern, binding thought, and fusion rotation?” Bai Sheng sent a voice transmission, speaking solemnly.

“Correct, passing the amalgamation stage requires gathering all one’s energy together. The more types and quantities of energy cultivated, the harder it is to merge everything. Your Junior Brother happens to fall into this category, with various types of energy within him that need time to fully integrate, possibly needing to discard some….”

Poof.

Before the words were finished.

A light sound came from Yu Hong.

The Inner Strength from the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill and other Mortal Martial Inner Power within him, all at that moment, transformed into differently colored light spheres.

All the light spheres were seamlessly controlled and merged into the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Method True Essence in his Dantian.

The different powers originally would clash and resist when pressed to merge.

But now, under the coordination of Yu Hong’s Innate Body, all powers were completely absorbed by the True Essence, obediently becoming tiny points that fully integrated into the golden True Essence and disappeared.

“Master, he… has passed the amalgamation stage!” Bai Sheng couldn’t help but send a voice transmission.
