Chapter 42
The Nine Li Poison Scripture, The Secret Record of Human Puppets (3/4)

Spirit Sea Pill?

Hearing these three words.

Luo Mu's breathing became heavy.

The Spirit Sea Pill is a third-grade treasure pill!

It's one grade higher than the Broken Yuan Pill and the Yuan Marrow Pill!

Its function is to increase the success rate of True Aperture Realm martial artists breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm.

It can increase it by at least 30%!

30%.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually very high!

In the outside world, a Spirit Sea Pill could be sold for an unimaginable price. Even in the Academy, it would probably cost 400,000 to 500,000 contribution points to exchange for one!

"I forgot about that."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Mu calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face.

To encourage students to cultivate, the Academy naturally has many reward systems.

For example, there are rewards for being on various rankings.

He just didn't expect that the reward for just being on the Dragon潛潛榜 would be so generous.

It's a third-grade Spirit Sea Pill!

Of course, this may also be related to his high ranking.

After all, he's seventeenth.

At this moment, Luo Mu also understood why the Steward had suddenly looked up after he said his name.

It was entirely because of the Dragon潛潛榜.

With the Ten Thousand Phenomena Pavilion around, the news of the ranking changes is always spread very quickly.

The Academy already knows.

"We went to look for you a few days ago, but you weren't at your residence."

The Steward smiled slightly.

"I've been out, and I just came back today."

Luo Mu put away the three jade boxes.

"Keep up the good work in your cultivation. The grand ceremony is approaching, and the outer court relies on you."

The Steward said.

"I will try my best."

Luo Mu smiled and turned to leave.

"Steward, who is he? Why did you give him the Spirit Sea Pill? Isn't this item only given to those who make it to the top twenty of the Dragon潛潛榜?"

The Treasure Pavilion disciple asked in confusion, "And those who can make it to the top twenty are basically inner court disciples."

The Steward glanced at him and said, "You'll know in a few days."

He received the news not long ago.

So this matter has not spread throughout the outer court yet.

But it should be soon.

How could the outer court let go of the opportunity to create momentum when they finally have a True Aperture Realm prodigy who possesses a martial arts force?

"With this child here, the grand ceremony will have at least a little more confidence."

The Steward thought to himself.

The outer court has been in decline for too long. In recent years, fewer and fewer have been able to enter the top hundred, and they are almost about to drop below double digits.

And in this year, the inner court has produced many prodigies.

He's really worried that even double digits won't be preserved.

Back to single digits like the worst times!

The outer court is all composed of commoner disciples. Their cultivation resources are inherently not as good as those princes and successors from the inner court. If their performance is too poor, the resources that will be allocated to the outer court in the future will inevitably decrease.

This is a bad trend.

——

Back to his residence, it was in complete disarray.

It wasn't that someone broke in, but it was like this before he left, caused by the destruction from his cultivation practice.

Luo Mu only focused on efficiency and cultivation.

He naturally wouldn't care about things like cleanliness and tidiness.

He opened the window.

Ventilated the air.

Luo Mu sat cross-legged on the bed.

He didn't immediately open the things he exchanged from the Treasure Pavilion, but instead took out the storage ring of that Demon Sect Elder.

After a person dies, the spiritual imprint within the storage ring also disappears, becoming ownerless.

Luo Mu recognized it with a drop of blood, and his consciousness entered.

His brows immediately raised slightly.

As expected of a storage ring from the Spirit Sea Realm, there are quite a lot of things.

It's just that he doesn't know if there are anything of value.

"Yuan Stones?"

In the corner of the storage ring, Luo Mu saw a pile of grayish-white stones.

Yuan Stones!

Mineral stones that contain the energy of Heaven and Earth!

Human martial artists, after opening their nine apertures and unifying them, can absorb the energy of Heaven and Earth into their bodies.

Yuan Qi and blood energy gather in the dantian.

Opening up the Spirit Sea.

Giving birth to — True Qi!

The power and quality of True Qi far surpasses blood energy.

The power of martial arts fueled by blood energy is completely different from that fueled by True Qi.

The gap between the two is very large.

Therefore, unless there's an absolute advantage in other areas, True Aperture Realm martial artists absolutely cannot defeat Spirit Sea Realm ones!

His situation is a rare exception!

"Not bad, there are actually thirty."

Luo Mu nodded in satisfaction.

With this, after stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm, he won't lack cultivation resources for a short time.

Then he began to look at other things.

There were quite a lot of medicine bottles, but they were empty, most of them were empty. Obviously, they had been used up.

The only one that wasn't empty seemed to be poison.

Luo Mu didn't open it.

He's afraid of being poisoned.

"'Nine黎黎 Poison Sutra — First Chapter', 'Human Puppet Secret Record', 'Seven煞煞幽冥掌'."

Luo Mu found three more secret manuals.

After flipping through them casually, he immediately became interested.

"'Nine黎黎 Poison Sutra', as the name suggests, it records countless poisons from the world. Most of them are things Luo Mu has never even heard of before."

"No wonder the Demon Path is so good at using poison, they actually made a special poison sutra!"

"This is just the first chapter, I wonder what the middle and later chapters contain?"

"Could it be the methods for making poison?"

Luo Mu pondered for a moment.

He also decided that when he has time, he must study them carefully and memorize them all.

He will surely encounter more Demon Path experts in the future.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

"'Human Puppet Secret Record', the book is as the name suggests, a secret method for refining puppets.

It's just that the materials used are not ordinary metals and minerals, but... humans!

This secret method is somewhat cruel.

It's hard for non-Demon Path people to accept.

And the success rate is also relatively low.

But once it's refined, the power of the human puppet not only perfectly retains, but is even slightly stronger than it was before.

Luo Mu stroked his chin.

Although it's cruel and bloody, it's not unacceptable to him.

Keep it.

What if he needs it in the future?

The final 'Seven煞煞幽冥掌' doesn't have anything special about it. It's just a 玄玄-grade low-level Demon Path martial arts skill.

There's no need to cultivate it.

It's not even good for selling.

After sorting through the storage ring, Luo Mu's consciousness withdrew.

Next, it's time to start cultivating officially!

Hurry up and improve his cultivation level!

Strive to cultivate to the Spirit Sea Realm in one go!
