Breaking Through as a Night Wanderer Envoy

After the intensified light faded, Lu Siye eagerly picked up the cultivation technique and flipped to the back to read.

The cultivation content of the fourth level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" did not disappoint Lu Siye. It clearly described the method for controlling the Yang energy within the body to ignite Yang Fire.

Furthermore, the sign of mastering the fourth level was the external release of Blood Essence and the ignition of the Yang Fire on his right shoulder. This Yang Fire represented You Jing, one of the Three Souls, commonly known as the Human Soul.

One of the souls from a ghost's one soul and seven corporeal souls refers to the Human Soul, You Jing.

In other words, after successfully cultivating to the fourth level, Lu Siye would be 100% able to step into the Night Wanderer Envoy realm.

However, Lu Siye did not start cultivating immediately. Instead, he first spent 900 Fear Points to reinforce the remaining 5 Blood Replenishment Pills twice, turning them into Blood Spirit Pills.

Then, he grabbed a handful of Red Ginseng slices and spent over 300 Fear Points to restore his Blood Essence to its peak.

Picking up the cultivation technique one last time and confirming that he had memorized all the content of the fourth level without any errors, Lu Siye took a Blood Spirit Pill and swallowed it.

Lu Siye calmed his mind and actively refined the gentle Bloodline Power of the Blood Spirit Pill.

As he refined the Bloodline Power, he felt his Blood Essence becoming hotter and more viscous, gradually exceeding his limit of tolerance.

"Ah~" Lu Siye let out a pained low growl.

He felt as if his blood was like boiling water, with streams of Yang energy rising from it like high-temperature steam.

Every inch of his body was wracked with agonizing pain, as if every cell was about to explode.

This was the result of the technique's circulation, where the Seven Corporeal Souls actively converted the excess Blood Essence into Yang energy, a more fundamental energy closer to the physical body.

As the Yang energy continuously increased, the blood vessels could no longer withstand such a large amount. More and more Yang energy seeped out of the blood vessels, surging through his body like a tide.

Every cell in his body, upon contact with the Yang energy, devoured it ravenously like a Taotie that had starved for three days and three nights.

During this process of consumption, the cells began to gradually become tougher and stronger. The previously agonizing pain slowly disappeared, replaced by an itch that penetrated deep into his bones.

He felt as if countless tiny ants were crawling all over his skin, flesh, and bones, tickling every nerve and constantly challenging his sanity.

Lu Siye gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his face contorted in a grimace.

His entire body trembled uncontrollably as he held onto the last shred of his sanity, continuing to circulate the technique.

A large amount of sweat gushed from his pores, rapidly evaporating on his flushed skin and turning into wisps of white mist.

After an unknown period, the deep bone-itching sensation vanished. The cells no longer devoured Yang energy. The remaining Yang energy, under the influence of the technique, began to circulate rhythmically around the seven locations of the Seven Corporeal Souls.

Lu Siye's contorted expression gradually relaxed, and his skin returned to normal, no longer flushed red.

Puff!

The three Yang Fires on Lu Siye's shoulders and the top of his head instantly materialized, though they were slightly transparent, making them appear somewhat unreal.

The Yang energy within his body, after being cleansed by the Seven Corporeal Souls – Shi Gou, Fu Shi, Que Yin, Tun Zei, Fei Du, Chu Hui, and Chou Fei – converged towards the Yang Fire on his right shoulder.

As the Yang energy gathered, the Yang Fire became more and more real, no longer so illusory.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong!

Suddenly, seven muffled thuds, like drumbeats, sounded consecutively within Lu Siye's body.

With the final drumbeat, the Yang Fire on his right shoulder erupted in a burst of golden light, enveloping Lu Siye.

Instantly, Lu Siye felt his range of perception rapidly expand, from the original ten-meter radius to a hundred meters, and the things he perceived became much clearer than before.

He sensed a child in a room on the second floor being spanked by his mother for being covered in mud; he sensed a worker on the third floor eating dinner while working overtime; he sensed a couple on the twelfth floor consumed by passion, with clothes scattered on the bedroom floor as two naked figures tumbled on the bed...

Cough... See no evil! Hear no evil!

Shortly after, the light disappeared, leaving behind only the clearly visible Yang Fire on his right shoulder.

Lu Siye's eyes snapped open, a flash of golden light in his pupils. He turned his head to look at his shoulder and saw the thumb-sized flame.

Clearly, he had entered the first stage of the Night Wanderer Envoy!

With a thought, the Yang Fire disappeared, and externally, he looked no different than before.

In reality, the Yang Fire had not vanished; Lu Siye had simply concealed it.

Lu Siye stood up, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes within his body.

His Blood Essence was nearly three times more potent than before his breakthrough. He felt that he could now control his own Blood Essence and Yang energy at will.

Opening his eyes, Lu Siye assumed the starting stance for the "Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique." He held his right hand in an empty grip, and his internal Blood Essence surged forth, transforming into a Tang Heng Blade identical in shape to the Blazing Blood Blade in his hand.

Raising his hand, Lu Siye looked at the blood blade formed by his Blood Essence. He ran his finger over it, and it felt as solid as if it had physical form.

This was an ability granted by the fourth level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill." It was something that could originally only be achieved upon reaching the third stage of the Night Wanderer Envoy, when one had complete mastery over their internal Blood Essence and Yang energy: Blood Essence Solidification.

Dispelling the blood blade, Lu Siye's mind moved, and he checked his system panel.

Host: Lu Siye

Fear Points: 3078

Cultivation Power: 196 years (External Martial Arts: 175 years; Internal Martial Arts: 21 years)

Martial Arts Techniques: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Level 4); Body Tempering Art; Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique (Mastered); Northern Darkness Divine Art (Beginner); Lingbo Microstep (Beginner)

Special Items: Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife; Blazing Blood Blade +1; Custom Briefcase; Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill; Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique; Northern Darkness Divine Art - Volume 1; Lingbo Microstep - First Volume

Internal Martial Arts had been restored before the breakthrough by converting excess Blood Essence into internal energy, and the limit had also increased by 6 years.

Although the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill's cultivation power only increased by 20 years, Lu Siye's strength had indeed more than tripled compared to before.

After closing the panel, Lu Siye took out the briefcase, opened the clasps, and released Fang Lanyue again.

With a flash of white light, Fang Lanyue fell out of the jade wall, scrambling away from Lu Siye. She huddled in the corner of the room, her face still bearing clear tear tracks.

It seemed she had been thoroughly terrified within.

"Alright, I was just breaking through. Not letting you out was for your own good. Otherwise, you would have been burned to ashes by the Yang energy I dispersed," Lu Siye explained, but Fang Lanyue didn't react.

She seemed to still be recovering.

Lu Siye ignored her and sat down cross-legged. He took out a Blood Spirit Pill, popped it into his mouth, and began to cultivate.

After his breakthrough, his control over the Yang energy within his body had greatly improved. During cultivation, as long as he didn't want to, he would no longer release waves of Yang energy.

After a long while, the Blood Spirit Pill's medicinal power was exhausted. Lu Siye opened his eyes and looked at the bedroom, smiling faintly.

The briefcase on the ground was gone, and the bedroom door was shut. Within his perception, Fang Lanyue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

Taking another Blood Spirit Pill, Lu Siye continued to cultivate.
