The Most Random System-Chapter 686 - 357: The First Great Battle of Human Experts, Unspeakable Terror (Part 2)

Deng Wen shook his head but then approached Lin Li and nodded, "Regarding questions about cultivation in our world, you can indeed ask me anything. I promise to be forthcoming and exhaustive in my answers."

"Alright, Senior Deng, next time I come, I'll remember to bring you a computer and a phone too," Lin Li said with a nod.

Not just for Deng Wen, but Lin Li decided to bring two additional sets next time, to avoid having to prepare again if a third person appears.

"Thank you then." Deng Wen did not refuse Lin Li's kindness but instead nodded with a smile to express his gratitude.

The time for cultivating the technique was limited in the past few days, so the Q&A session ended quickly.

Although each individual has their own specialization, the expertise of Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen surely differs, but at Lin Li's current stage, specialization was not yet necessary. The questions he had were all quite basic, which Deng Wen could easily answer, helping Lin Li reach enlightenment.

"Senior Deng, besides cultivation questions, I have something related to this pill that I'd like to ask you about." Lin Li manifested the "Great Creation Pill" and handed it to Deng Wen, "Can you help me see if I'm able to take this pill now?"

Deng Wen raised his eyebrows, took the porcelain bottle in his hand, opened it to let the pill float before him, observed for a while, then slightly surprised, "Creation Pill?"

"Yes." Lin Li nodded, rather pleased—it was best if he could recognize it, then surely he'd know how to utilize it most effectively.

"It's from my 'Divine Power'—Senior, has Grandpa Shanqing mentioned my Divine Power to you?" Lin Li paused and asked.

"I know a bit about it," Deng Wen nodded, indeed having learned some of the background through his recent conversation with Shanqing Daoist.

"Alright, this item was obtained from my Divine Power; its value and efficacy seem quite high, but I dare not take it rashly, fearing unexpected consequences from consuming it." Lin Li continued to explain.

"It's right not to take it rashly," Deng Wen agreed with a nod upon hearing this.

"Is it because my current cultivation level prevents me from taking it?" Lin Li felt slightly relieved.

"It's both yes and no. As the name implies, the 'Creation Pill' brings a transformative fortune to the cultivator's body, refining the meridians and solidifying the foundation, with numerous benefits. It's obviously better to take it earlier, as it greatly aids future cultivation."

"But your cultivation is too weak, and you are not naturally inclined to medicine; taking it rashly might not harm your body but would waste a large amount of its medicinal power. A person can only consume one Creation Pill in their lifetime; eating more would be pointless. Thus, any waste would be a real pity."

Deng Wen explained.

"So," Lin Li listened attentively and asked after Deng Wen paused, "Is this akin to the 'Saint Dragon Essence Blood,' where I have to wait until my cultivation is higher to take it?"

Deng Wen shook his head, "That's not the case; I can be your Guardian now, guiding the medicinal power with Sword Qi into your limbs, helping you absorb all the medicinal power."

As he spoke, a trace of blue Sword Qi coalesced at Deng Wen's fingertips, swirling around the pill like a swimming dragon:

"However, forcibly assisting the absorption of medicinal power may cause some pain, and you will need to endure that."

"Shall we start now?" Lin Li immediately suggested.

Such things that directly enhance foundational characteristics, Lin Li naturally thought the earlier they are consumed, the better.

"Sure." Deng Wen didn't waste words, pointing to the ground, "Then sit cross-legged."

"Consume it, and while consuming it, activate the 'Zhou Tian Yin Ling Jue' that Shan Qing has taught you." Once Lin Li sat down, Deng Wen instructed further.

"Yes."

As the pill entered his mouth, it was extremely comfortable, and Lin Li immediately felt his entire body, from organs to pores, relax.

This comfort lasted for several minutes, before gradually fading, and at this time, a hand rested on Lin Li's back.

Then.

Oh mother!

Wasn't it supposed to be a little painful?

"Oh seaweed washing oh seaweed washing… ah ah ah one thousand minus seven equals nine hundred ninety-three…"

Deng Wen, upon hearing the contents Lin Li mumbled: "?"

Why did the child suddenly start doing arithmetic?

...

Shanqing Daoist took a deep breath.

This BOSS was really enjoyable to fight.

It's done.

The sense of achievement is truly taxing.

Especially with the boss's scream, Shanqing Daoist experienced true immersion, the sound effects and impact feel were almost maxed out.

Saving data, Shanqing Daoist removed his headphones, turning to look at Lin Li lying on the ground and the strangely expressive Deng Wen, smiling as he asked:

"How's the absorption? In their world, they are generally peaceful, so it's normal not to fully absorb."

When he heard Lin Li's screams, Shanqing Daoist was somewhat distracted, concerned about Lin Li.

He only has one "grandchild," and he couldn't let Deng Wen play him to death.

"It's completely absorbed." Deng Wen looked at Lin Li on the ground, shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Li's temperament, Deng Wen found hard to assess.

You'd say he has perseverance, but once I started to help him resolve the medicinal power, he didn't endure at all, just screamed throughout.

You'd say he lacks perseverance, but then he only screamed, continuously operating the method without any slack, ensuring every bit of medicinal power was utilized at the end.

If you can endure, why scream?

Recovering slightly, Lin Li sat up and nodded gratefully, "I hit the jackpot again."

In the future, Lin Li will stop fantasizing about himself as a low-level male protagonist in bedtime stories meant to lull him to sleep—this suffering is just too painful.

Next time, he'd better fantasize about being a noble's young master.

As for the effects after absorbing the "Great Creation Pill," Lin Li currently only felt extremely relaxed throughout his body, even feeling somewhat too light and unfamiliar.

As if this wasn't his body, now even the ability to fully control it is lacking.

But once accustomed, it will surely be better.
