Chapter 77: The Powerful Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art "First Update"

Feeling the vast energy within his body, Lu Shaoyou estimated that after fully refining it, he should have no problem breaking through from a Fourth Rank Warrior to a Sixth Rank Warrior.

The Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art could devour the opponent's strength, but it couldn't fully absorb it for its own use. After refining, only one-tenth of the opponent's strength could be retained, but this was already quite terrifying.

At this moment, Lu Shaoyou had only devoured the true qi from Zhao Da's body. He still needed to refine it before it could be used, similar to how one needs to refine a pill after consuming it.

"Devouring a person's true qi is much stronger than devouring a pill," Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but exclaim, a faint blood-red hue flashing in his eyes. A murderous aura faintly appeared around him. After devouring Zhao Da's true qi and activating the devouring power of the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art for the first time, Lu Shaoyou's body was unknowingly imbued with a murderous aura.

"Hmph." Looking at Zhao Da, who had become a desiccated corpse, Lu Shaoyou felt no pity. One must never hold back against one's enemies. Lu Shaoyou realized that deep down, he had a bloodthirsty nature, which he could freely express in this world.

"Disappear." Lu Shaoyou coldly snorted, forming a hand seal. A flame of spiritual energy condensed in his right hand and enveloped Zhao Da's corpse. In less than a minute, the desiccated corpse turned to ashes. Lu Shaoyou then covered the ashes with a ball of light and threw them into the flower bed outside the window.

It was already the third watch of the night. Lu Shaoyou continued to sit cross-legged and began refining the energy within his body. He formed hand seals, placing his hands on his knees, and the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art started to refine the vast energy.

Refining this energy was much easier than refining the energy from a pill. The energy devoured from Zhao Da was already true qi, which was quite pure, but the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art required a higher level of purity, necessitating further refinement.

Moreover, this true qi was different from the true qi in Lu Shaoyou's body, and the two would naturally repel each other. It had to be refined before it could be integrated into the dantian. During this process, the impurities were removed, and only one-tenth of the original energy could be absorbed by Lu Shaoyou.

Everything calmed down. Feeling the power of the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art, Lu Shaoyou felt even more elated. However, he couldn't recklessly use the devouring power. If others discovered he possessed such a monstrous technique, he would surely be hunted down by all the spirit practitioners and warriors on the continent.

Strength, once he reached absolute strength, he wouldn't have to fear anything. Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, determined to protect his mother and himself. He must become a powerful person as soon as possible. Only then could he protect everything he cared about and achieve his goals.

Time slowly passed. After the fifth watch, Lu Shaoyou stopped refining and exhaled a turbid breath from his dantian. He then opened his eyes.

Feeling that the true qi refined over two watches was already pushing him to the brink of becoming a Fifth Rank Warrior, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art. To refine all the energy in his body now, it would probably take only a few days. By then, breaking through to a Sixth Rank Warrior should be no problem.

"This cultivation of spiritual energy is quite troublesome; the spirit and martial arts must advance simultaneously," Lu Shaoyou thought. He was already a Fourth Rank Warrior and expected to reach Sixth Rank soon. However, in terms of spiritual energy cultivation, he was still a First Rank Spirit Practitioner. Even if he became a Ninth Rank Warrior, if his spiritual energy didn't keep up, he might suffer a reversal of his meridians and die.

Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but worry about his spiritual energy cultivation. To quickly improve his spiritual energy, he needed to devour the spirit pills from spirit practitioners and spirit beasts. However, spirit beasts only had spirit pills starting from the Fourth Rank. With his current strength, encountering a Fourth Rank spirit beast would be a one-way trip, and he wouldn't even know how he died.

The price of spirit pills was also exorbitant. A Fourth Rank demon pill cost at least 50,000 gold coins, and a Fourth Rank spirit pill was even more expensive. Spirit pills were significantly more costly than demon pills.

The prices of demon pills and spirit pills in the Spirit Martial Continent were always high and in high demand. Many warriors and spirit practitioners formed teams to hunt for demon pills and spirit pills. Some large mercenary groups specialized in trading demon pills and spirit pills.

The reason demon pills and spirit pills were so expensive was due to the vast energy they contained. After being refined by spirit practitioners, they could be turned into expensive pills or integrated into weapons, significantly enhancing their quality.

However, demon pills and spirit pills couldn't be directly absorbed. The vast energy could sever one's meridians and cause death. After being refined by spirit practitioners and combined with herbs, they became pills that could enhance true qi and spiritual energy. These pills were extremely expensive, but powerful families and factions didn't mind the cost, using them to cultivate young talents. As a result, young people outside these families couldn't compare to the young talents within these families.

The high value of demon pills and spirit pills kept their prices high. The higher the rank, the more expensive and popular they became. Sometimes, a high-rank demon pill or spirit pill would be fought over by thousands of people, which wasn't surprising.

However, obtaining demon pills and spirit pills wasn't easy. Demon beasts and spirit beasts weren't to be trifled with. Fourth Rank demon beasts and spirit beasts had a certain level of intelligence, with their bloodlines and wisdom on par with humans. Blessed by the heavens, they each had unique abilities, making them much stronger and harder to deal with than humans.
