CHAPTER 184: CHAPTER 180: ACUPOINT OPENING DEMON PILL

"So, it’s really a rebellion!"

Wang Wu wasn’t too surprised, nor was he overly ecstatic; in truth, his heart remained unfazed.

He couldn’t help it; no matter how the Qi and Blood Circulation roared, no matter how frenzied it became, it was all subdued and smoothed over by the three Vitality Clouds. The big waves became small waves, and small waves became little streams.

It was incredibly useful.

If it had been before, the tide of Qi Blood triggered by this transformation would surely have tormented him to the brink of death.

"Always feel like something isn’t quite right."

Wang Wu thought this way. He originally intended to condense the Acupoint Opening Demon Pill, and Wolf Bu’er had also told him that his bloodline would guide his path forward, but where was that path?

Aside from expanding slightly and having a better ability to facilitate the circulation, the three Vitality Clouds showed no consciousness of becoming the Acupoint Opening Demon Pill.

Oh, there was some information floating by in the attribute bar.

"The Qi Blood in your body has become more abundant."

"The vitality in your body has grown more vigorous."

"Your Bloodline Evolution Level +1%, now at 43.2%. Your growth limit has increased."

"You have successfully surpassed the current growth stage limit."

"Your Life Value +100, Physical Strength +100, Basic Agility +1, Basic Power +1, Basic Defense +1!"

"Your Bloodline Talents Passive Concealment, Self-Healing, and Danger Perception can be raised to Level 16, and Spiritual Talent can be raised to Level 11."

——

Pretty good, but just pretty good.

Because he still hadn’t touched the threshold of condensing the Acupoint Opening Demon Pill, which was the most crucial part.

"Could it be because the Vitality isn’t sufficient?"

Wang Wu was somewhat puzzled, but didn’t ponder deeply. The round of Qi Blood Vitality transformation had just consumed 5,000 Points of Vitality in an instant, so he still had 7,000 Points left. Clearly, it wasn’t enough yet.

The Qi and Blood Circulation continued to operate, round after round, while his 15,000+ Satiety was swiftly being converted into Vitality.

The previous conversion ratio was 10:1, but perhaps due to the Qi and Blood Circulation, the ratio now reached 8:1, allowing him to gain around 2,000 more Vitality Points from it.

Just like this, in less than two days, all Satiety was converted, yet the Acupoint Opening Demon Pill Wang Wu wanted to condense remained elusive. More ridiculously, even the faint rumble within his body when the Qi and Blood Circulation operated began to subside.

It felt absurd, like starting something only to find it already ending.

"Looks like it’s not happening this time either."

Wang Wu gave a helpless smile, but was not persistent. He continued with the Inner Breathing Technique, moving the Qi and Blood Circulation naturally, like breathing or a heartbeat.

He rather enjoyed this feeling, as if aimlessly galloping across an endless wilderness, or transforming into an eagle soaring among the white clouds.

The moment Vitality flowed and Qi Blood surged was when he celebrated and appreciated life, not pursuing an outcome.

Time passed, night and day alternated, with Wang Wu mesmerized within it. The Inner Breathing Technique and Qi and Blood Circulation self-operating as if he were a distant traveler, growing from child onwards, this journey was his path of life.

Flowers bloom and wither, joys and sorrows, cycles of the moon—countless wonders and countless losses. He seemed to return full, yet empty-handed.

Unknowingly, he seemed to reach the end of life, where the vibrant world departed, leaving only darkness to engulf him.

There was no great enlightenment, no deep reluctance, only calmness and desiccation.

Like a dream yet not, both real and illusion.

The two seemed to overlap at this moment, with his 9,000+ Vitality Points wholly consumed simultaneously.

This should have been the most ordinary thing, like every morning arriving, each journey starting and finishing.

But this time, it was different.

With a thunderous roar like spring thunder, it exploded in Wang Wu’s heart, body, bloodline genes, and through his flesh, bones, and organs simultaneously!

A dam, or rather an invisible barrier belonging to life’s bottleneck, and the confinement of the bloodline, broke!

Wang Wu couldn’t describe this feeling; it was like a violent storm in life’s evolution, flooding everything mercilessly, destroying everything!

He lost control!

Even the three Vitality Clouds were swept away, destroyed at this moment.

He felt as if he had died, everything returning to dust.

Wang Wu was completely helpless, unable to feel pain or fear, only watching passively.

With a sense of bloodline evolution indifferent to him.

So magical, so absurd, so unreasonable.

Yet, it worked.

Wang Wu even lost his sense of time.

So maybe a second passed, or perhaps a month, or even a year.

Uncertain.

Then suddenly, everything was back on track.

He ’saw’ his flesh reorganizing, ’saw’ his bloodline genes reshaping, a process indescribable.

He seemed to become the smallest of cells, molecules, atoms, some invisible force assembling countless versions of him.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally woke up from the darkness, as if he had been reborn. He regained control of his new body and felt the presence of life once more. He was breathing, his heart was beating, his body was warm; he was still alive.

Yet, it seemed as if he suddenly understood many secrets of life. Although he couldn’t express them, he just knew. It was truly miraculous.

"Tongqiao! So this is the true meaning of Tongqiao."

Wang Wu laughed, and with just a slight shift of his mind, his vision and perception switched to a more microscopic level, which he could manipulate and transform at will.

Meanwhile, under a shroud of blood light, his body gradually transformed. The bear’s form he once had could gradually morph into a human form.

The trunk and limbs could transform well.

Only his head and the small tail at the back couldn’t transform for the time being.

Wang Wu excitedly jumped up, realizing that this was transformation.

He carefully sensed that after transformation, it didn’t impact his body’s attributes. All his combat capabilities remained, and even his Companion Demon Vine was unaffected.

However, if it came to more intense battles, he certainly wouldn’t be able to maintain this transformed state.

At this moment, he had another thought, opened his mouth, and a bright demon pill the size of a soybean lightly flew out, followed by the second, and the third.

Indeed, three Vitality Clouds naturally condensed into three Tongqiao Demon Pills.

Each had all the effects from before at their respective positions, but now, the Life Value Limit that each Tongqiao Demon Pill could manage increased from 4,000 points to 6,000 points.

Therefore, Wang Wu’s current maximum Life Value Limit should be 18,000 points.

However, this was just one benefit of the three Vitality Clouds evolving into Tongqiao Demon Pills. The true, greatest advantage was that each Tongqiao Demon Pill could imprint a Lifebound Demon Technique.

When Wolf Bu’er told him this before, he didn’t quite understand.

But now he completely understood.

Truly, it was so amazing.

It was like the transition from a naive boy to a man.

There’s no need for detailed illustrations or vivid explanations; understanding it means truly understanding it.

Moreover, Tongqiao Demon Pills didn’t have to only imprint Lifebound Demon Techniques; they could also imprint other things.

Even basic attributes could be, including Negative Resistance, as long as it’s related to the bloodline, it could be imprinted.

In fact, Tongqiao Demon Pills could be expelled when necessary, used as weapons to directly strike targets.

Very violent, right? It’s just like having three bricks, ready to use wherever needed.

So versatile that Wang Wu immediately determined that his overall strength had increased at least threefold at this moment.

There’s nothing he could do; the enhancement effects were too powerful.

This point, the information given in the attribute bar, explained everything.

"You have successfully advanced and condensed three Ninth Grade Tongqiao Demon Pills!"

"Your Life Value Limit +900, Physical Strength Limit +900, Satiety Limit +900, Basic Agility +10, Basic Power +10, Basic Defense +10, Regular Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Storage Limit +1,500."

"Your Bloodline Evolution Level +3%, currently at 46.2%. Your growth limit is now higher."

"You have awakened the sixth Bloodline Talent—Fury Level 1."

"You can choose to imprint a basic attribute, a talent, or a Secret Technique, a Demon Technique, or even a Perfect Level Resistance onto the Tongqiao Demon Pills, thereby gaining stronger support, becoming a Lifebound Attribute, Lifebound Secret Technique, Lifebound Demon Technique, Lifebound Resistance."

——

[Fury: Level 1, upon activation, by burning 1,000 points of Qi Blood Vitality, designate a basic attribute to gain a 50% maximum limit increase for the next 60 seconds]

——

Wang Wu quickly calmed down, opened his mouth, and the three Tongqiao Demon Pills returned to their place. At that moment, he felt like a calm sea, quiet on the outside, yet filled with endless power inside.

But now he needed to imprint the Tongqiao Demon Pills. What should he choose?

Should he go out and let Wolf Bu’er teach him the Demon Techniques that Yuan Bupu hadn’t taught?

Or——

"No, I want to choose for myself!"

At this moment, Wang Wu had his own idea.

The first imprinting should be his Bloodline Talent, Passive Concealment!

Survival is always the theme; never underestimate the opponent’s strength, deceit, or bottom line. There’s nothing more suitable than concealing oneself, making the opponent unable to find, see, or touch, and driving them mad with fury.

In an instant, as Wang Wu thought, one Tongqiao Demon Pill became covered in a blood-red hue, and in just 9 seconds, the imprinting was completed.

However, to be honest, the effect wasn’t earth-shattering, merely translating into the attribute bar as 15+1.

Yes, it directly raised Passive Concealment by one level, and unaffected by upgrades. This means he could spend 12,500 points of Spiritual Qi to raise Passive Concealment to Level 16, thus becoming 16+1.

If in the future he upgrades the Tongqiao Demon Pills to Eighth Grade, then this effect might turn into 16+2.

This truly had a miraculous effect.

The most real example was his poor nephew.

If it had imprinted Passive Concealment when it condensed Tongqiao Demon Pills, turning it into 15+1, it definitely wouldn’t have died and would have lived well.

A moment’s difference resulted in such a fate!

Alas!
