Chapter 356: Chapter 3 Lamp Grass Monk

“Let’s start by cupping.”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

It should be noted here that originally, cupping required an “excellent” rating, but this time Li Yan’s rating was only average. However, the purchasing rights from the past can be retained for two incidents; any more would require spending points to maintain. So, the lucky cup Li Yan is drawing this time is the one he didn’t draw last time.

He paid the money, weighed it in his hand, and then crushed it with one squeeze.

Golden light burst forth!

A three-inch-tall little monk popped out from the golden light.

This monk hopped down to the ground and, without taking a good look at Li Yan’s face, immediately prostrated himself: “To grandmother…” He got halfway through his words before realizing it was a man, and then, with great disappointment, said: “To grandfather, I give my respects.”

Li Yan didn’t say a word, staring at the monk’s introduction for a long time with a face full of black lines.

Lamp Grass Monk

Category: Summoned Being

Quality: Rare

From the stories of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the tale of the Lamp Grass Monk.

Small as the last joint on a little finger, large as an ordinary person. Just as the saying goes… shiny bald head white as snow, when he urges flowers to bloom, they roll into softness like cotton, hard with great heat. Clever and spirit-touching, pretty and coquettish maids, always slip first.

Li Yan grabbed the little monk in one hand, without a word threw him into the Copper Coin hole, and issued an order to the Black Rider Ghost inside: “Ask your Bai Laotou if he fancies a bite? Eat it.”

Done with that, he paid no further attention.

Whether Bai Laotou had this feature or not, Li Yan didn’t plan to let this little creature out again. If Bai Laotou wasn’t interested, then someday when among the fruits, he encountered a mountain demon or a wild creature with a diverse palate, he would toss it to them as a toll fee.

Li Yan suddenly missed his trench coat a little.

After trying out several, it was still the most comfortable.

One by one, starting with the Destiny Yak potion and the White Lake Holy Spring.

The White Lake Holy Spring was a small, caramel-colored gourd. Li Yan uncorked it and took small sips, savoring the sweetness and warmth that filled his mouth with saliva. A refreshing breeze seemed to blow away his weariness from the fierce battles.

“Please allocate the Awakening Degree freely.”

Li Yan directly allocated 50% of the Awakening Degree to Wu Zhiqi.

Wu Zhiqi’s Calamity Wave Awakening Degree also changed to 39%+35%, ready for Wu Zhiqi’s first peak breakthrough at any time.

The reserve of Calamity Wave reached 390 tons.

Li Yan’s control over water took a step up the ladder.

The most direct change was that previously when Li Yan activated his spiral water armor mixed with ice, he couldn’t multitask and attack, facing dense attacks, large-scale use of Disaster Water would lead to blind spots in his vision.

While controlling Disaster Water, his own offensive and defensive transitions were also very obscure, and he suffered a bit from this during his fight with Liang Zhengyong.

But now, Li Yan could let the water armor cling to his skin and clothes, allowing him to attack at the same time. Although it was not as sharp as when he was without defense, agility and attention were still a bit off, but unless the opponent had a combat ability on par with Li Yan, they wouldn’t have a chance.

As for lifespan, Li Yan didn’t feel it, because this was something one would realize at the stage of being a Proxy Traveler. Lifespan was also something highly valued by high-positioned beings. This White Lake Holy Spring was also a precious Mage Tool that even the Ten Masters would covet.

The Four Seasons Yak’s comprehensive potion stable version, however, was not so smooth. For this, he specifically went to the South Seas, staying on a deserted island with no human trace for a full five days and five nights.

A total of twenty-eight injections could completely transform a third-tier warrior.

Li Yan administered them in four sessions. For five days, he endured continuous burning sensation and piercing pain without sleep, leaving punch holes and footprints several meters in diameter all over the island. The wild animals suffered even more, as Li Yan was able to maintain his sanity but had nowhere to vent his destructive desires. Encountering the ferocious man-eating beasts of the island, it was naturally a one-sided journey into Li Yan’s stomach.

The hardest moment came, and Li Yan resorted to practicing Bagua Quan.

Mixed Element Stance, Knocking Step, Dual Five Thunder, Sudden Lift and Burst Strike, Split and Smash to Best the Fierce.

Monotonous, excessively detailed, and extremely hard to bear, it was indeed the most grinding way to maintain, or perhaps preserve, one’s sanity.

Christians say God spent six days creating the world, and on the sixth day, Li Yan walked out of the deserted island.

Beneath his feet lay the sparkling sea, but he didn’t need Wu Zhiqi or Nine Phoenixes to walk on water.

After five days without sleep or rest, there wasn’t a single drop of sweat or speck of dust on Li Yan.

He could see the tiny microorganisms in the seawater, and even with internal organs damaged, as long as they retained their basic shape, they could heal within a few hours.

The most terrifying part was, it was still Li Yan, bolstered by the enhancement from Gu Huo Bird, whose explosive power allowed him at one point to cleave through waves over forty meters high with a single spear, relying solely on his physical strength while crossing the sea.

It was not only the power of Destiny Yak, but also the result of a sevenfold enhancement by Gu Huo Bird!

He felt as if he could reach up to the highest heavens to draw down the moon and dive into the deepest oceans to capture turtles.

Destiny Yak!

By the way, Li Yan had acquired many abilities before, such as breathing underwater, the now ineffective Ghost Driving, and resistance to stray bullets—all these states had disappeared without a trace, devoured by Destiny Yak.

However, only the state “Quanlang Sea Ghost” remained stubbornly keeping pace with “Destiny Yak”.

Quanlang Sea Ghost: Impervious to blades and fire, in rivers and lakes its power doubles, and amidst the ocean’s surges, not even the fiercest storm or divine blaze can shake it.

Destiny Yak: Possesses various extraordinary abilities, physical qualities developed to the genetic ultimate.

The states “Destiny Yak” and “Quanlang Sea Ghost” had become the only two permanent, solid states accompanying Li Yan until he stepped onto a whole new level.

In the end, the spark that ignited the Gene Map of Yak, the first fourth-tier ability Li Yan received, was one he had never heard of before.

Its name was Free Agent, and its original effect was the soul leaving the body.

Pompeii Armaments had once used this ability to steal confidential information from others.

But Li Yan’s enhancement did not go in that direction.

The genes of “Free Agent” freed the eight-meter restriction of Goddess Gu Huo’s Hidden Flight instantaneous movement. As long as Goddess Gu Huo didn’t leave Li Yan’s line of sight, Li Yan could switch their positions at any time, but like Blood Dip and Disaster Water, too great a distance would consume a large amount of physical strength.

However, from Li Yan’s personal testing, within two hundred meters, he wouldn’t feel tired even after dozens of switches.

A quarto Yak comprehensive enhancement potion was about to bring another surge to Li Yan’s strength!

At this time, Li Yan also remembered some miscellaneous matters.

The Ring Dragon Sword and Azure Phoenix Sword, one destroyed and one lost, he should buy a weapon that suited him.

The craftsman clue for Mud of Yazi needed to be scheduled.

The Black Rider Ghost was more severely injured this time than before, showing no sign of recovery after five days—it couldn’t be neglected any longer.

By the end of the month, if the Dragon Tiger Qi was accumulated enough, he could undergo the second inheritance breakthrough of Gu Huo Bird.

Additionally, Wu Zhiqi’s peak breakthrough required an extra 35% Awakening Degree, and the White Lake Holy Spring was more than sufficient for it, allowing for a breakthrough at any time.

But these matters couldn’t be rushed, so Li Yan decided to go home first to visit Lady Dan, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
