Chapter 322: A Man Should Endure Some Hardship
Bai Yiyuan was sitting absentmindedly drinking tea in the small courtyard of the White Residence. For some reason, even the finest tea tasted flavorless to him.
"Old Meng, do you think Xiao Yu can succeed?"
He didn't even call Lin Moyu the little brat anymore, instead referring to him as Xiao Yu.
Meng Anwen chuckled lightly, "You're worrying too much. As the great White Deity, why would you be concerned about such matters?"
Bai Yiyuan sighed, "Xiao Yu's killing aura is too immense. If he had already completed the third transformation and was over level 60, I wouldn't need to worry."
"I believe he would be fully capable of controlling the killing aura at that point."
"But now...he's only..."
Meng Anwen said, "Isn't Old Kuang already taking action? With him around, what is there to worry about?"
Bai Yiyuan fell silent for a moment, "That old bastard got himself a disciple for free."
Meng Anwen laughed lightly, "You should focus on preparing for Xiao Yu's second transformation instead. He'll be back soon and it'll be time for him to level up."
Bai Yiyuan said, "I've already prepared everything. All is ready, just waiting for his return."
"The second transformation is crucial, there cannot be any mistakes."
Bai Yiyuan waved his large hand dismissively, "Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
In the Bloody Lands, ever since successfully guiding the first strand of killing aura, Lin Moyu had sat unmoving for ten days.
He had a large amount of food left behind by Ning Yiyi in his storage space, enough to last him half a year.
After the first success came the second.
Lin Moyu gradually mastered the knack of controlling the killing aura, channeling the strands into the Domain Spirit Stone.
Each strand of killing aura bore Lin Moyu's spiritual imprint.
The channeling became faster and faster, with more and more killing aura entering the Domain Spirit Stone.
It was as if the Domain Spirit Stone could never be filled, consuming however much was given to it.
When Lin Moyu had sent all the killing aura inside, it wasn't even one-tenth full.
"Finally, I've sent all the killing aura in."
Lin Moyu's thoughts became clear again, even more so than before.
With this experience, Lin Moyu's will became even more resolute than before.
With a thought, the killing aura in the Domain Spirit Stone surged out like black smoke rising into the sky.
Lin Moyu stood amidst the towering killing aura, his gaze clear and calm.
This killing aura now belonged entirely to him, no longer affecting him.
Instead, under the immense pressure of the killing aura, those with weak wills would be the ones affected.
Their strength diminished, speed slowed, will weakened - as if afflicted by a curse.
The killing aura receded back into the Domain Spirit Stone.
Lin Moyu exhaled a long breath.
For over 20 days, he had never felt so relaxed.
Footsteps approached from outside - Yan Kuangsheng had returned.
"Master, you're back," Lin Moyu said respectfully.
With a sniff, he detected an intense bloody scent.
The bloody scent was so strong, stronger than even when he had massacred those cities.
The bloody scent came from something in Yan Kuangsheng's hand.
A piece of meat.
Just a palm-sized piece of meat, yet it emanated such an overwhelming bloody scent.
Yan Kuangsheng glanced at Lin Moyu, a glint flashing in his eyes, before tossing the meat over, "Eat it."
Then he added, "Eat it raw, immediately."
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu took a bite directly from the raw meat.
Despite the overpowering bloody scent, there was not a hint of bloody flavor when eating it.
Instead, it had a faint sweetness, melting in the mouth.
The taste was even better than the meat of the Great Earth Devouring Dragon.
Lin Moyu couldn't understand where such an intense bloody scent came from.
Seeing Lin Moyu eat the meat without hesitation, Yan Kuangsheng showed a satisfied look, "Didn't you wonder what kind of meat this is?"
Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, "Whatever you give me, Master, I don't need to ask."
Yan Kuangsheng laughed, "White Yiyuan told you this place is called the Bloody Lands, right?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
"Then do you know why it's called the Bloody Lands?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, he didn't know.
Yan Kuangsheng said, "The Bloody Lands, an independent space, an ancient relic."
"A hundred miles across, over ten thousand miles up and down."
Lin Moyu was startled - he had thought this was just a tiny independent space.
It turned out this space was a cylindrical shape, over ten thousand miles tall.
Yan Kuangsheng looked up at the sky and said, "A thousand miles up or down, there are beasts called Blood Pythons. The meat you ate is from one of them."
Lin Moyu suddenly noticed that the corner of Yan Kuangsheng's robe seemed torn, which it wasn't when he had left.
There also appeared to be some bloodstains on his robe and sword.
"Master, are you injured?"
Yan Kuangsheng laughed, "It's nothing. The Blood Python is a spirit-level beast after all. To harvest its flesh and blood requires paying a price."
Hearing this, Lin Moyu felt touched.
The few words Yan Kuangsheng had said to him didn't even add up to ten sentences.
Yet he had gone and battled a spirit-level beast for Lin Moyu's sake.
Yan Kuangsheng waved his hand, "I've lived here for decades and fought those things countless times. I'm used to it."
At this point, Lin Moyu had finished eating all the meat. Yan Kuangsheng revealed a slight smile, "Finished? Then get ready to enjoy it."
Enjoy it?
Lin Moyu was slightly puzzled.
The next second, an immense force exploded within his body.
Searing pain assaulted him, and Lin Moyu let out a groan, his whole body trembling.
It hurt, very painfully.
His entire body felt like it was being pricked by millions of needles.
Blood soon seeped from all over Lin Moyu's body, turning him into a bloody figure in an instant.
Lin Moyu didn't make a sound, the excruciating pain causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Even his handsome face became somewhat contorted.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, why is this happening?"
Yan Kuangsheng asked, "You've taken the miraculous medicine before, right?"
"The miraculous medicine is made from the blood and flesh essence of the Blood Python. But in pill form, the effects are greatly reduced."
"To obtain the best effects, you have to eat it raw."
"You can eat it once before the second transformation, once after, and once more after the third transformation."
"The effects increase each time, allowing you to raise your attributes to the extreme."
Then he said disdainfully, "If you can't endure hardship, how can you become a supreme expert?"
"The low-grade miraculous medicine only adds 200 attribute points - utterly useless."
"A real man has to endure bitterness to reap the rewards."
"What you ate is the highest-grade Blood Python meat, not some trifling miraculous medicine to compare with."
So that was it. Lin Moyu realized that his attributes were rapidly increasing.
The low-grade miraculous medicine had no pain, just a 200 point increase to all attributes.
But eating the raw Blood Python meat, though extremely painful, would increase all attributes by at least 2000 points.
Equivalent to a mid-grade miraculous medicine, just a bit more painful.
If given the choice, Lin Moyu would definitely choose to endure the pain.
A real man, what's a little pain!
Seeing Lin Moyu grit his teeth and bear it silently, Yan Kuangsheng looked even more satisfied.
"You're about to undergo your second transformation, and you'll be pursuing a job advancement, right?"
"Do you know what the root of a job advancement is?"
"The main requirements for a job advancement are first, luck. With bad luck, even a 99% chance is meaningless."
"Second is attributes - you must break through the limits. The simplest way is with miraculous medicines."
"So don't underestimate the 2000 attribute point increase from miraculous medicines. That little breakthrough can greatly increase the odds of a successful job advancement."
"Besides miraculous medicines, there are other ways to break attribute limits, like the divine power from the Ancient Battlefield, or soul crystals from Soul Devouring Insects..."
"The more limits you break through, the higher the job advancement odds."
"Third are various items that increase job advancement chances, like the Battlefield Demon King's Soul Crystal from the Ancient Battlefield - that's a good one."
"Apart from that, there are also transformation arrays and other supplementary items that can further raise the odds."
Yan Kuangsheng explained in great detail, talking non-stop.
Having lived alone here for decades, he rarely had anyone to talk to.
Once he started, he couldn't stop.
Lin Moyu listened carefully. White Yiyuan had also told him about job advancements before, but in his casual way without going into much detail.
Now after hearing this explanation, Lin Moyu finally understood.
No wonder people valued miraculous medicines so much - it was to break through attribute limits.
Seen this way, his own attributes...
Yan Kuangsheng asked, "You must have been to the Ancient Battlefield before, did you obtain any divine power?"
Lin Moyu, his body wracked with pain, gritted his teeth and said, "I did."
Yan Kuangsheng snorted, "That guy is at least somewhat reliable. What level of divine power? Level 5?"
Lin Moyu said, "Level 39..."
"Only level 3?" Yan Kuangsheng sounded a little disappointed. "Though each level is just a 1% attribute increase, at higher levels the difference adds up."
"But it is what it is, better than nothing at all."
Lin Moyu gritted his teeth, raising his voice slightly, "Not level 3, Master...level 39..."
Clang!
Yan Kuangsheng's sword dropped to the ground.
