The Third Level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!

Lu Siye, fresh from his shower, emerged from the bathroom and looked curiously towards the adjacent apartment.

Had the guy next door been having a nightmare?

He was yelling so loudly!

It couldn't be that he'd encountered a ghost again!

Lu Siye paused by the wall and listened for a moment. After confirming that nothing untoward was happening next door, he returned to the sofa and sat down.

Everything was handled; it was time to check his gains.

Lu Siye opened the system panel with great anticipation.

Host: Lu Siye
Fear Points: 2685
Cultivation Power: Thirty Years
Martial Arts Techniques: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill - Second Layer; Body Tempering Art
Special Items: Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife; Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill

Lu Siye did a quick mental calculation.

The kidney-stealing ghost in the alley had provided him with over six hundred Fear Points, and the two Bound Spirits had contributed a total of just over eighteen hundred Fear Points.

The three ghosts combined had directly provided 2468 Fear Points.

An unprecedented haul!

Looking at the Fear Points on the panel, which had broken through the four-digit mark, Lu Siye suddenly felt like he had struck it rich overnight.

He rubbed his hands together in excitement, like a squirrel that had hoarded a full stash of nuts.

He directly retrieved the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill from the system space and placed it gently on the table, silently thinking.

"Enhance!"

After the System deducted 400 Fear Points, Lu Siye once again witnessed the book's 'convulsive performance'.

Following the 'convulsive performance', the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was successfully enhanced to the third layer.

After spending eighteen minutes learning all nine new postures, Lu Siye took out the remaining few Red Dates from under the table.

He poured the Red Dates out and counted them; only 12 were left.

After eating these 12, he would have to wait for the Red Dates and Red Ginseng to arrive tomorrow before he could continue cultivating.

Lu Siye waved his hand grandly, directly enhancing the Red Dates on the table, then swallowed them in one gulp and began cultivating the third layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

A little over an hour later, Lu Siye finished his cultivation.

After repeating the process of transferring Blood Essence twelve times, the Blood Essence provided by the 12 enhanced Red Dates was fully converted and absorbed.

Lu Siye carefully felt his progress. The third layer of the technique was far from reaching its limit; he estimated it would take another hundred enhanced Red Dates to reach perfection.

A hundred of them, which translated to needing over a thousand Fear Points.

He opened the panel and glanced at the remaining 2165 Fear Points.

For a moment, Lu Siye felt a pang of regret.

As expected, the feeling of striking it rich was just an illusion; he was still poor!

The poor rely on knowledge, the rich on martial arts – the ancients had not deceived him.

His path of ghost-slaying was long and arduous!

The cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill came to a temporary halt. Lu Siye put away the technique and returned to his bedroom to sleep.

"Grandpa! Your grandson is calling you!"

"Grandpa! Your grandson is calling you!"

"..."

Early in the morning, Lu Siye received a call from the delivery driver, informing him that his package had arrived.

Lu Siye guessed it must be his Red Dates and Red Ginseng. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the delivery locker next to the downstairs security room.

Captain Li of the neighborhood security team was on duty today.

After greeting Captain Li, Lu Siye received his package and hurried back to his room.

He eagerly opened the package. Inside were two bags of Red Dates, each weighing 500 grams, and one bag of Red Ginseng, also weighing 500 grams.

Red Dates are the fruit of the Ziziphus jujuba plant, which turns red when ripe. They can be used medicinally and have the effects of nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen, enriching the blood, and fortifying the body.

Red Ginseng is a processed product of ginseng. In addition to its functions of replenishing vital energy, benefiting the spleen and lungs, promoting fluid production, and calming the spirit, its medicinal properties are warmer, characterized by strong fire energy, potent efficacy, and a greater ability to vigorously replenish vital energy, restore yang, and aid in blood control.

From the perspective of health and strengthening the body, Red Ginseng is an excellent tonic for those with insufficient Blood Essence and a tendency towards yang deficiency.

It can be used to supplement the body for symptoms such as frequent chills, cold hands and feet, dizziness and fatigue, weakness in the limbs, easy exhaustion, shortness of breath, a constant cold sensation in the stomach, chronic diarrhea, and insomnia with excessive dreaming.

Lu Siye had originally only intended to buy red dates, but the customer service representative was too enthusiastic and recommended red ginseng, which had better blood-replenishing effects.

Although red ginseng was much more expensive than red dates, Lu Siye thought about it and decided to buy it anyway.

It was a good opportunity to test which of these two items provided more abundant and purer Blood Essence.

Lu Siye opened the red ginseng first, took out ten slices, placed them in his hand, and began to strengthen them.

"Does the host wish to consume 10 Fear Points to strengthen 10 slices of red ginseng?"

"Strengthen!" Lu Siye stared intently at the red ginseng in his hand and nodded in confirmation.

As soon as he spoke, a red light flowed over the red ginseng. The color of the red ginseng became even more blood-red, and the entire slice looked slightly crystalline.

"Ding~ Strengthening successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Red Ginseng Slices +1 * 10!"

As the prompt sounded in his ear, Lu Siye placed the red ginseng in his hand into the hot water that had already been prepared on the table.

After waiting for three to four seconds, the hot water in the cup began to gradually turn red.

Less than a minute later, the hot water had turned a blood-red color, and a sweet aroma wafted towards him.

Lu Siye took a deep breath. He could feel several warm currents rising within his body, continuously nourishing his Blood Essence.

Good stuff!

Lu Siye's eyes lit up. Just by smelling it, he was certain.

For the same level of strengthening, the purity of Blood Essence provided by red ginseng was definitely superior to that of red dates.

Without further hesitation, he drank the entire cup of hot water, chewed the ten slices of red ginseng, and swallowed them.

He even used hot water to rinse the cup several times, drinking all the rinsing water, not wasting a single drop.

Boom!

A scorching Blood Essence surged in his stomach, transforming into streams of warm Blood Essence that penetrated his stomach lining and entered his bloodstream.

He quickly put down the cup and went to the ground, assuming the posture for the third layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

As Lu Siye shifted his stance, the heat waves emanating from his body began to rise, and the temperature in the living room rapidly increased.

About ten minutes later, as his cultivation ended, the yang energy and heat waves released by Lu Siye returned to his body, and the temperature in the living room instantly returned to its previous level.

Lu Siye opened his eyes and looked at the packet of red ginseng on the table with surprise.

Consuming the same 10 Fear Points, these ten slices of red ginseng provided twice the amount of Blood Essence as a single red date.

Although red ginseng was several times more expensive than red dates, Lu Siye still felt like he had struck a great deal.

He continued to pour hot water into the cup, grabbed a handful of red ginseng to strengthen, then steeped it in water to make a blood-replenishing potion.

After drinking the blood-replenishing potion, Lu Siye continued his cultivation.

Today, he intended to cultivate the third layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the point of perfection.

Rolling waves of heat swept through the living room once again.
