Free Web NovelChapter 649: Chapter 358: Refining the Heart Demon! (Part 2)
After taking ten Enchanting Immortal Pills, over a period of time, the Medicinal Power moved from his abdomen into his heart meridian.
The cool sensation between his brows intensified rapidly.
’As expected, the side effects of cultivating the Demon Blade Heart Method have become greater!’
’Spiritual Power is rapidly increasing!’
After cultivating for a while, Su Que gathered his Eye Power and emitted Spiritual Power from his eyes.
Immediately, two substantial streams of Spiritual Power shot from his eyes like arrows, striking the stone chamber wall.
Bam!
The substantial Spiritual Power penetrated into the wall.
’Now my spirit is gradually aligning with the strength of my physical body!’
Su Que understood that his physical body strength far exceeded his spirit.
Because Martial Arts like his Seven Injuries Fist, Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, and cultivation techniques produced more side effects on his physical body.
Thus, over time, his physical body became more formidable compared to his spirit.
Currently, his spirit is gradually catching up with his physical body.
’I can still consume more Enchanting Immortal Pills!’
Su Que thought, then took out more Enchanting Immortal Pills from his Storage Bag.
This time, he took out twenty pills and consumed them all.
After taking twenty pills, he cultivated for about the time of a stick of incense. Immediately, a peculiar sensation surged from his body.
He understood this was the addictive nature of the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
Countless cultivators had their paths destroyed due to this addiction.
This addictive nature forces cultivators to continuously consume Enchanting Immortal Pills.
Otherwise, during cultivation, they easily experience Qigong Deviation!
This addiction was growing stronger within Su Que’s body.
The side effects were more severe when he practiced the Demon Blade Heart Method.
’Might as well consume all the Enchanting Immortal Pills.’
Seeing that, aside from addiction, the pills posed no harm, Su Que consumed the remaining ten Enchanting Immortal Pills.
Afterward, Su Que stood up, simultaneously circulating the Demon Blade Heart Method and wielding the Demon Blade.
With the consumption of ten Enchanting Immortal Pills, over time, the sensation in his body intensified, suggesting the effects of addiction.
When Su Que wielded the Demon Blade, the Demon Nature in his body became more concentrated.
The Demonic Qi around him grew increasingly dense.
A powerful pressure of Demon Might erupted from him.
Meanwhile, the sensation between his brows grew more intense.
The strength of his Spirit was rapidly increasing.
After cultivating for a day and night, Su Que looked at his Attributes.
Demon Saber (13 Realms Dominating the Universe 3%) [Upper Level Extremist Technique]
Cultivation progress increased by 2%.
Thus, it might take more than a month to elevate the Demon Saber by another realm.
’I can use more Enchanting Immortal Pills to accelerate my Demon Saber cultivation speed.’
Su Que thought of this and then left his residence.
Walking down the street, seeking a place to purchase Enchanting Immortal Pills.
While on the street, a pickpocket attempted to reach out his hand to steal Su Que’s Storage Bag.
Su Que immediately released his Spirit.
The intangible Spirit condensed into a form like a giant hammer, striking heavily on that hand!
Instantly, the pickpocket let out a painful cry.
His right hand, reaching for Su Que, had its bones crushed.
This pickpocket was merely at the Second-Layer of the Realm of Merging, possessing inadequate strength.
Thus, Su Que could effortlessly cripple the man’s right hand with sheer Spirit.
Su Que casually walked past the pickpocket.
As the pickpocket cried out, passersby on the street turned simultaneously toward the commotion.
This street was bustling; aside from Su Que, there were two other cultivators beside the pickpocket.
Therefore, the crowd was unaware of the cause of the pickpocket’s painful scream.
Only the pickpocket knew who attacked him.
Because he knew who his target had been.
Having walked a bit further, Su Que used Spiritual Perception to sense the pickpocket’s location.
Then, with a thought, a sharp strand of Spirit burst from the back of Su Que’s head, pursuing the pickpocket’s Spirit.
In the next moment, the sharp Spirit pierced into the pickpocket’s Spirit, swirling violently.
Instantly, the light faded from the pickpocket’s eyes, and he collapsed limply.
Soon after, City Guards who heard the commotion rushed over.
Seeing the now incapacitated pickpocket, they looked around, trying to identify the assailant.
However, no matter how many times he looked, he still couldn’t discern who among the nearby people was the murderer.
...
Su Que leisurely strolled along the street, passing by the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
’The force behind the Celestial Treasure Pavilion is the Celestial Sect, but I don’t know if they sell the Enchanting Immortal Pill.’
Thinking of this, Su Que walked into the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
The attendant of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion immediately greeted Su Que.
Then, he went to call down the steward, Guan Ji, from the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
Upon seeing Su Que, Guan Ji’s face showed joy.
He first made a bow to Su Que, then said to him:
"Customer, you’re here again. I wonder what you desire this time."
"Poison, our alchemist has already produced five bottles."
Su Que said, "I’ll take the poison. By the way, I wonder if you have the Enchanting Immortal Pill here?"
"Enchanting Immortal Pill..." Upon hearing Su Que’s words, Guan Ji’s joyous expression vanished as he murmured:
"I didn’t expect you to be fond of this elixir as well?"
"Do you have it?" Su Que asked again.
"We do. How many do you want?" Guan Ji asked.
"How many do you have?" Su Que inquired.
Guan Ji sighed in his heart and answered, "Fifty pills."
"I’ll take them all," Su Que said.
Guan Ji then went to prepare the poison and Enchanting Immortal Pill as Su Que requested.
Shortly, the attendant brought the poison and Enchanting Immortal Pill.
Su Que took them and left the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
...
After walking for some time, Su Que reached a small alchemy room in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, where Guan Ji and one of the higher-ups, Yu Yue, were communicating through whispering.
"You said that person also bought the Enchanting Immortal Pill?" Hearing Guan Ji’s words, Yu Yue’s eyes, as gentle as water, dimmed.
Guan Ji sighed, "Yes."
Yu Yue said, "Xiahou Lu’s production of the Enchanting Immortal Pill has brought chaos to Xianming City, and he has also stationed people in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion to monitor us and prevent us from reporting to the sect."
"If that person would help us and join forces with me, we should be able to defeat Xiahou Lu."
"But unfortunately, that person is also an addict to the Enchanting Immortal Pill."
Yu Yue spoke with a resentful expression on her face.
...
After Su Que brought back the Enchanting Immortal Pill and elixirs, he first consumed twenty pills of the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
After the time of one incense stick burned, the addictive toxicity of the Enchanting Immortal Pill dormant within his meridians spread to his heart meridian.
Then, Su Que began cultivating the Celestial Deformed Foot heart method.
Celestial Deformed Foot (12th Realm Unparalleled 1%)[Top Grade Mortal Technique]
His attainment in Celestial Deformed Foot was not high, with a low level in technique.
Moreover, the Celestial Deformed Foot is also a martial art that highly risks qigong deviation.
Now, he could use the addictive nature of the Enchanting Immortal Pill to exacerbate the side effects of qigong deviation.
He followed the Inner Strength path of the Celestial Deformed Foot in his breathing exercises.
The Celestial Deformed Foot is a martial art that flows against meridians, differing greatly from other martial arts.
Soon, as he circulated qi, his body warmed up and a cool sensation appeared between his brows.
The outcomes of qigong deviation vary among different martial arts.
Practicing the Demon Saber with qigong deviation leads to mental impairment, turning the cultivator into a demon obsessed with slaughter.
Practicing the Celestial Deformed Foot with qigong deviation harms both the body and the spirit.
Now, with this side effect reversed, Su Que’s body and spirit both enhanced.
As Su Que continued cultivating, suddenly, he felt gusts of eerie wind around him.
Beside him, there were numerous indistinct vortices.
Massive, bizarre black shadows emerged from the vortices, merging into Su Que’s body.
’It’s a Heart Demon!’
Su Que, having acquired memories from other cultivators, knew this was one of the most terrifying signs of qigong deviation.
It’s said that some demons have created spaces outside the Upper Realm.
Whenever a cultivator experiences qigong deviation during training, these demons can employ odd skills to connect their spaces to where the cultivator is.
Then they appear beside the cultivator, utilizing the mental gaps caused by the cultivator’s qigong deviation to enter the cultivator’s body and consume their essence, qi, and spirit.
However, when these Heart Demons entered Su Que’s body, they found Su Que’s interior to be like a furnace.
Heart Demons are also side effects of training.
When Su Que’s Heart Demon appeared, reversing the side effect, his body generated a peculiar force to refine the Heart Demon.
