Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 70: Offering a Pill Treasure, Requesting to Listen to the Taoist Skill (Part 2)

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Offering a Pill Treasure, Requesting to Listen to the Taoist Skill (Part 2)

A look of surprise also crossed Yang Tianhe’s face.

He had met Yi Beidou before. Though the man’s Evil Qi was monstrous and his aura as vast as the sea, he had never before witnessed such a Divine Power.

It was like the difference between Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. Theravada focuses on self-salvation, while Mahayana can bring salvation to others.

This man now possessed a hint of the Mahayana disposition.

In just one month, the man’s Taoist Skills had become even more unfathomable.

"Mr. Yi is in the backyard. Please follow me."

Zhou Baiwei spoke, her tone calm and her gaze steady. Her aura was whole and unrefined, as if something within her was about to break out of its shell.

She had been by Yi Beidou’s side this whole time, especially this past month, and her Martial Arts Dao had improved by leaps and bounds. She was now on the verge of breaking through to the Realm of Mighty Spirit, a level that had long stumped her.

A look of astonishment flashed in Ye Zhenghua’s eyes. ’They haven’t even seen the man, yet he can already have such an effect.’

His gaze fell upon a corner of the front courtyard. A muscular young man, built like an iron tower, was loosening the soil with a hoe, paying them no mind. Each of his movements held an ineffable Divine Intent. When their eyes met, sparks seemed to flash in the void between them.

’This man is no ordinary person!’ Ye Zhenghua’s heart clenched.

Under Zhou Baiwei’s guidance, the group entered the villa’s first floor, passed through the living room, and arrived at the door to the backyard.

The backyard was filled with blooming flowers and lush green grass, but Yi Beidou was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?"

Yang Tianhe couldn’t help but ask.

"He’s right there on the grass in the backyard. Look closely."

Zhou Baiwei said with a smile.

Yang Tianhe and the others focused their gaze once more. Only then did they see a tall young man in loose, casual clothing sitting cross-legged on the lawn. They had no idea when he’d gotten there. His aura seemed to be one with the nature around him.

It was as if their vision had been obscured by a single leaf, hiding his true form from them.

’His methods are truly divine!’

Everyone marveled.

Without even exchanging a single blow, Ye Zhenghua was already utterly convinced.

’Leaving aside Physical Ability, just with that ability to enter the house unnoticed, he could have killed me ten times over.’

’The two of them exist on completely different planes. How could we possibly be compared?’

’It’s hard to believe this man is my age.’

In truth, Yi Beidou hadn’t always possessed such a technique.

During his battle with the Great Vow Master, he had comprehended his third Martial Arts Technique, the Zizai Dharma Seal. He had also witnessed the Divine Power of the Big Hand Seal and the Demon Suppression Array, as well as the various arrangements at the Bao Lian Temple, which had piqued his interest.

For the past month, he hadn’t gone anywhere, precisely because he was pondering magnetic field Barriers and perfecting the Zizai Dharma Seal.

This Technique had the ability to reverse Yin and Yang and invert magnetic fields. If it could be further developed, by borrowing the power of his Heart Intent, it could also be used to regulate magnetic fields, stabilize himself, and achieve the ability to form a Condensation Dojo.

This was the so-called "Free Dao Field," the fruit of his devoted comprehension over the past month.

"Mr. Yi, we apologize for the intrusion. This is Mr. Zhang Wenyuan of the Yun Valley Elixir Dao."

Yang Tianhe said respectfully, cupping his hands.

One does not speak of worldly affairs in the presence of a true master, so he only introduced the man’s cultivation school, not his secular title.

"Please, everyone, have a seat inside."

Yi Beidou opened his eyes, and in the next instant, as if in a trance, the others found he was already inside the living room.

Everyone sat down, and Zhou Baiwei served tea.

"We have come today to ask you to appraise an item, Mr. Yi."

Yang Tianhe said.

"Oh? Let me take a guess."

Yi Beidou’s gaze swept over and landed on Zhang Wenyuan, who was sitting to the side.

"Your wisdom is condensed, your Divine Intent is mellow, your Qi and blood gather like the sea within your Dantian. You cultivate the Alchemy Dao, and you carry the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs. If I’m not mistaken, this item must be related to elixirs."

Yi Beidou said.

"Mr. Yi, you truly have a discerning eye."

Zhang Wenyuan laughed, took out a wooden box, and placed it on the table. After opening it, inside was a glossy, black Elixir Pill about the size of a longan. A fragrant medicinal scent wafted out.

"My Yang Family has lived in Cloud Sea for generations. This place has lush mountains and forests, teeming with birds, beasts, snakes, and insects, as well as many mountain delicacies and famous herbs. One of my ancestors was an expert who achieved Body Ascension. That ancestor left nothing behind but a single elixir recipe, one used by those who achieved Body Ascension. However, many of the medicinal ingredients have since gone extinct, making it impossible to recreate."

"Later, Brother Wenyuan and I collaborated to find substitute herbs and materials, and we have now seen some results. The times are changing, and life sciences are the future of human progress. In the past, a Saint who had achieved Body Ascension was a rarity seen once every few hundred years. But now, across the globe, there are likely no fewer than a hundred Saint Experts in this single era. It’s foreseeable that the number of masters who achieve Body Ascension will only continue to grow. We wish to ride this generational tide and have made our plans early."

Yang Tianhe said.

"This Elixir Pill is called the ’Peacock Pill.’ It contains one hundred thirty-seven kinds of herbs and other nutrients, all compressed using modern methods for higher nutritional value and fewer impurities. Of course, an ordinary person couldn’t absorb it. Only an expert who has achieved Body Ascension can use it. Basically, a single pill is enough to meet a Saint Expert’s nutritional needs for one meal."

"This Elixir is still in the experimental stage. We hope Mr. Yi can use it and give us some feedback on the data and your experience. We can provide you with a long-term supply as a form of mutual cooperation."

Zhang Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Not bad at all."

Yi Beidou nodded and reached for the Elixir Pill. Although it was only the size of a longan, it felt as heavy as a lead ball in his hand. Who knows how much matter was compressed inside.

An ordinary person really couldn’t eat something like this. If they swallowed it, it would be impossible to digest and could only be removed via surgery.

Yi Beidou opened his mouth and tossed the Elixir Pill inside.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH!!

The sound was like someone chewing on steel, enough to make one’s scalp tingle. Only the teeth of a Saint Expert could bite through this thing. An ordinary person, even a Martial Arts master, would probably shatter their teeth if they bit down hard.

GULP!

After a few chews, Yi Beidou swallowed the Elixir Pill. He wasn’t worried about any toxic substances.

A Saint Expert can control every part of their body. If they sense something is poisonous, they can immediately expel the object from their stomach.

Besides, Yi Beidou’s Celestial Demon Sensing was not just for show.

GURGLE! GURGLE!

His internal organs began to operate like machinery, rapidly digesting the nutrients in the Elixir Pill. About three minutes later, his body started emitting heat, his skin turned slightly red, and a faint mist seeped from his pores, making everyone feel as if they were sitting next to a furnace.

This was a simply inhuman sight.

After about ten minutes, Yi Beidou opened his eyes again and nodded slightly.

"Very good. Based on my current experience, I don’t have any suggestions for improvement. If I’m not mistaken, this isn’t some half-finished product in its experimental stage, is it?"

Yi Beidou was quite satisfied with the Elixir Pill’s effects.

Eating grains and meat could also satisfy his Physical Ability needs, but it was time-consuming, difficult to carry, and full of impurities. If he had just eaten grains and meat, the mist seeping from his body would have had a foul, gamey smell. Instead, it now had a rich, medicinal fragrance.

"It seems nothing can be hidden from you. The Peacock Pill is indeed being supplied to several of the nation’s Saint Experts. The current version is quite refined."

Seeing that Yi Beidou had seen through them, Yang Tianhe decided to be honest.

There was a reason the Yang Family was so powerful in Yunhai Province.

"In that case, you must have another purpose for this visit. Let’s hear it."

Yi Beidou said.

Zhang Wenyuan looked at Yang Tianhe.

Yang Tianhe looked at the dazzling young woman standing by to serve, who was as resplendent as a peacock.

"Please, Mr. Yi, allow this disciple to follow you and listen to your Taoist Skills at all times!"

Yang Mutong immediately understood. She fell to her knees before Yi Beidou and spoke with utmost reverence.
