Su Yuan, why is your head pointy? (Seeking follow-up reading!!!)

After a moment of surprise, Su Yuan understood.

Could it be that my teachers, Li Ziquan and Zhuge Tie, seeing me so diligently cleaning up these leftovers, mistook me for a poor child who has to live by eating other people's scraps?

Although I am a bit poor, I wouldn't do something so undignified!

Should I explain?

But wouldn't that make me look guilty, as if I were hiding something? If the teachers were to ask Chu Lanxi and find out I don't have a pet, wouldn't that just make things worse?

So, it's best to pretend I know nothing.

In any case, an increase in favorability isn't a bad thing.

Su Yuan comforted himself in his heart. Just then, a "ding-dong" sounded in his mind.

[Ignoring the prejudice and ridicule of others, enduring humiliation, you are worthy of being a Devil Venerable. The System gives you a thumbs up!]

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Su Yuan perked up and continued to collect the students' leftovers. He went through one trash bag after another, and the task progress increased rapidly.

When the cafeteria was almost empty, the task progress finally maxed out.

[Task Progress: Resources Plundered (100/100)]

[Task Reward: Devilish Art · Spirit Finger (Issued)]

The next second, a large amount of information immediately appeared in Su Yuan's mind, all about the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger.

At the same time, the spiritual energy within his body spontaneously began to circulate according to the trajectory of the "Devilish Art · Spirit Finger," as if he had practiced this demonic technique thousands of times and it had already become an instinct of his body.

He also fully understood the effect of this demonic technique.

[Devilish Art · Spirit Finger: Consumes spiritual energy to extract the spiritual essence contained within a designated item, condensing it into a spirit pill. Depending on the efficacy of the item, the resulting spirit pill will have subtle differences in its effects.]

Undoubtedly, this was an evil technique that extracted the spiritual energy of all things for one's own use, truly worthy of the name "demonic cultivation technique."

However, when Su Yuan noticed the bags of leftovers at his feet, he suddenly realized that the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger might also be a divine technique for turning waste into treasure.

He had collected so many leftovers, and he didn't know how to deal with them. But they did contain a lot of spiritual energy, and it seemed a pity to just throw them away.

Now, he could use the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger to directly extract the spiritual energy from them and turn it into spirit pills for his own use.

With this thought, Su Yuan had another realization:

"In ancient times, for Devilish Cultivators, who were reviled by everyone, to rise to power, they probably had no choice but to steal heavenly materials and earthly treasures left behind by the Righteous Path cultivators and cultivate in secret. The Devilish Art · Spirit Finger was likely born in such circumstances."

"So, were ancient Devilish Cultivators just a bunch of scavengers, and I've inherited their legacy?"

Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt a strange sensation.

But soon, Su Yuan shook his head again, suppressing the strange thought.

As a poor person, if I want to carve a path through a million soldiers and enter a top immortal cultivation academy, isn't it precisely by relying on methods that utilize all available resources?

The Devilish Art · Spirit Finger is a timely help.

He looked around and saw that the cafeteria staff were all busy cleaning up and no one noticed him. He immediately picked up the large pile of leftovers and went to a corner without surveillance.

Opening these trash bags and looking at the messy, strangely smelling leftovers, Su Yuan seemed to be looking at treasures. He reached out towards the leftovers and activated the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger.

The spiritual energy within his body was rapidly consumed, and faint points of light emerged from the leftovers, converging towards Su Yuan's hand bit by bit.

Each point of light was extremely pure spiritual energy, which made Su Yuan marvel.

When these dense points of light converged into a solid mass that fell into Su Yuan's hand, the effect of the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger ended.

The leftovers, however, were like burnt charcoal, leaving only their husks.

Su Yuan eagerly opened his palm and looked at what had appeared in his hand.

It was a dark blue pill, about the size of a fingernail.

As soon as he saw the pill, a line of text appeared on his system panel.

[Unnamed Blue Pill: Upon consumption, digestive system function greatly improves, muscle growth rate greatly improves, body muscle groups automatically adjust for aesthetics and function. Side effects include extreme mental excitement, no sense of fatigue, and a pointed head, lasting for two hours.]

Su Yuan: "..."

What kind of potent medicine is this?!

Then tell me, tell me, is this medicine male or female... cough cough, is this medicine even legal?! Will I get arrested for failing a drug test after taking it!

I don't want a pointed head!

And why would such a weird medicine be extracted from cafeteria food?

Didn't it say that the efficacy of the spirit pill would vary depending on the efficacy of the extracted item? Did they put Nine Dragons seasoning in the cafeteria food?

As he was thinking this, another line of small text appeared below the drug description.

[Note: The spirit pills extracted by the Devilish Art · Spirit Finger do not contain any medicinal toxins. In certain situations, the side effects can also be considered part of the efficacy! Host, please consume with confidence!]

Confidence my foot!

Su Yuan angrily closed the system panel, wanting to throw the blue pill in his hand away.

But the moment before he threw the pill away, Su Yuan stopped himself!

He forced himself to calm down and carefully examined the effects of the blue pill.

Putting aside the somewhat strange side effects, the pill's inherent effects were quite impressive, truly a saintly medicine for body refinement! If he could take this blue pill regularly and stably, his athletic performance should improve rapidly... probably.

"The first class this afternoon is P.E. Should I trust the products from this darn System? If the side effects are truly unbearable, I can just stop taking it later."

Su Yuan pondered inwardly.

Ultimately, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, finally preparing to take the medicine!

Seizing the moment when no one was around, Su Yuan popped the small blue pill into his mouth. It dissolved instantly.

The next second, Su Yuan felt a warm current surge from his abdomen, and then, he felt the food in his stomach being digested at an incredibly terrifying speed!

The muscles all over his body were clearly growing and strengthening. As for the stubborn fat he could never get rid of no matter how much he exercised, it was slowly transforming into energy that promoted physical strengthening.

Holy crap! Is this the effect of science... no, of cheating?

It was several times more effective than simple training! If he trained while taking the pill, would his physical improvement speed be even more pronounced?

While he was still astonished, Su Yuan suddenly felt a wave of hunger wash over him.

Oh no! The medicine's effects were too potent, and his body couldn't keep up with the nutritional demands!

Su Yuan quickly looked towards the food counter. Seeing that the food hadn't been completely put away yet, he rushed towards it!
