Dragon-Nurturing Pill, Genius

"Uncle Li once told me that Yao Guang Sacred Land is no place for the kind-hearted, and that its disciples are mostly caught in endless schemes. I didn't expect to see the coldness of human nature and the fickleness of the world the moment I arrived."

Weiwei and Fang Yang chatted as they walked along the mountain path toward the cluster of caves below.

"It's human nature."

"There has never been kindness without a reason in this world."

"Her behavior actually makes me feel more at ease. It saves me from being approached for favors I can't refuse once I become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang."

Fang Yang took it in stride, even finding the humor to joke about it.

"Junior Brother, you are quite confident in yourself."

Weiwei tilted her head to look at Fang Yang, only to see him looking lazy, his eyes lowered as he watched the mountain path beneath his feet.

She truly couldn't understand why someone as naturally indolent as Fang Yang would be so diligent the moment he started cultivating, often going into seclusion for dozens of days at a time and almost never interacting with the outside world.

"The position of Holy Lord of Yaoguang is being eyed by a whole group of Yaoguang Holy Son candidates."

"It is said that the Yaoguang Holy Son of this generation has already appeared and seems to have stepped into the Four Extremities Secret Realm. You had better work hard to catch up, or you won't even have the qualifications to compete for the position of Holy Lord."

"A mere Four Extremities Secret Realm? Isn't that a realm one can reach easily? Senior Sister Weiwei, you should work hard too, or you might have to call me Senior Brother when the time comes."

The two walked side by side at a leisurely pace, soon arriving at a stone cliff that looked as if it had been cleaved by a blade, densely packed with caves above.

"Senior Sister, farewell."

Fang Yang leaped into a cave and inserted his Identity Jade Tablet into the slot at the entrance. Instantly, layers of formation patterns enveloped the entire stone cave, providing soundproofing, defense, and recording functions.

Seeing him in such a rush, Weiwei swallowed the words of farewell she was about to speak. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she flew into a cave directly above Fang Yang's to settle in.

Inside the cave, Fang Yang washed his hands in water and pressed the "Ten-Draw" button.

Card draw, initiate!

A rotation of light shone brilliantly through his sea of consciousness, finally manifesting into ten cards:

[A long and straight wooden stick (White)]

[A very hard brick (White)]

[A handful of high-quality lime (White)]

[A black-canopied umbrella (White)]

[A sheet of white paper soaked in clear water (White)]

[Diamond Sutra (White)]

[Sow Postpartum Care Manual (White)]

[Three Years of College Entrance Exams, Five Years of Simulation (White)]

[Supreme Profound Spiritual Treasure Immeasurable Salvation Scripture (White)]

[Dragon-Nurturing Pill (Purple)]

Nine white, one purple!

Fang Yang couldn't describe his current mood.

The drop rate of this Card Pool was too bizarre. Would they dare to publish the real probability?

Nine whites and one purple—if it weren't for that one purple card to comfort his fragile heart, he might have already broken down.

[Dragon-Nurturing Pill (Purple)]

[Description: A divine pill of creation condensed from the Primordial Dragon Gate in the World of Dragon Talisman. It can open the mind of a fool and turn them into a one-in-a-million genius.]

The deep purple patterns on the edge of the card left Fang Yang in a daze:

"A genius in the Dragon Talisman World is not just a simple compliment, but a tangible, undeniable talent."

"A genius masters every trade they learn. Whether it is literature, martial arts, or the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, they can become a master in a short time and even leave their name in history."

"After consuming this pill, even if I no longer rely on external objects like the Bodhi Leaf, I will be a cultivation genius."

"The color of the patterns on the Dragon-Nurturing Pill is even deeper than the Replica of the Supreme Emperor Sword. Does this mean that if I take this pill, the upper limit of my smooth cultivation journey will be at least an Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure?"

Fang Yang did not hesitate and materialized the [Dragon-Nurturing Pill (Purple)].

It was a flawless, round pill with a tiny, brilliant golden dragon coiled inside, revealing its extraordinary nature.

As long as one refines this pill, one can use the Dragon-Nurturing Qi within to open the mind and wisdom, becoming a genius forged by the heavens.

After Fang Yang swallowed the pill, his entire body was enveloped in golden Dragon-Nurturing Qi. It drilled in and out of every acupuncture point in his flesh until it finally merged into his sea of consciousness, causing his soul to undergo a qualitative transformation.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth opened its gates to him.

The obscure and difficult scriptures of the past no longer required the help of a Bodhi Leaf; a single thought was enough to find the optimal solution.

The Lesser Brightness Scripture was originally a Sea of Bitterness Realm scripture, and even if it was derived from the core heritage of Yao Guang Sacred Land, it was ultimately just an ordinary text.

At this very moment, Fang Yang infused the essence of the Dao Scripture into the Lesser Brightness Scripture, completing a subtle modification.

Even if this modification wouldn't have much effect in practice, it was a significant change, representing that he truly possessed the comprehension of a genius.

From this point on, even if he was merely a mortal body.

Fang Yang truly possessed the confidence to strike down all enemies and seize the position of Yaoguang Holy Son.

Even if he were to lose his Golden Finger for card drawing... though it would be best not to lose that.

Emerging from the arrogant mindset of one who had suddenly become a genius, Fang Yang bathed in holy light, a halo hovering above his head—the very effect brought about by the Lesser Brightness Scripture.

"Too flashy!"

Fang Yang channeled his divine power, plucking the halo from above his head.

He silently tested his current level of comprehension to see just what he could achieve without the use of a Bodhi Leaf.

For a full hour, Fang Yang focused all his heart and energy on contemplating the Dao Scripture, and the results were very gratifying.

"My current comprehension is already eight or nine-tenths of what it was when I consumed Divine Spring water infused with a Bodhi Leaf."

"The Bodhi Leaf is a divine object for enlightenment, but it is also limited by the user's aptitude and realm. With my current comprehension, the effects of the Bodhi Leaf will be even more potent."

A moment later, Fang Yang drank a cup of Divine Spring boiled with a Bodhi Leaf, feeling intoxicated as if ascending to the heavens in broad daylight.

The Lesser Brightness Scripture had long since been unraveled by him, thread by thread, leaving no secrets left to hide.

Only the Dao Scripture remained worthy of his contemplation.

The Dao Scripture: Sea of Bitterness Volume was a true treasury of the Dao, a method so profound that even a Saint would find it difficult to fully grasp.

Fang Yang immersed himself within it, like a dragon entering the sea, unable to stop himself.

"Mayfly Gazing at the Azure Sky!"

It was not until the miraculous effect of the Bodhi Leaf dissipated that Fang Yang felt as if he had returned from another lifetime, snapping back to reality from the illusion of seeking immortals and inquiring about the Dao, and he let out this exclamation.

Under the enhancement of the Bodhi Leaf, and with his comprehension transformed into that of a genius, he had finally glimpsed the full picture of the Dao Scripture: Sea of Bitterness Volume.

Compared to it, the Lesser Brightness Scripture was like a firefly beside the bright moon; they were simply not on the same level.

However, even so, Fang Yang did not regret practicing the Lesser Brightness Scripture.

Even if he practiced the Dao Scripture, once he broke through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he would still have to choose the scriptures of Yao Guang Sacred Land to cultivate.

Rather than switching cultivation methods, it was better to walk one path to the end, and once he reached the Saint realm, he could draw inspiration from the Dao Scripture to create an ancient scripture unique to himself.

Fang Yang calmed his heart, no longer using the Bodhi Leaf to boost his comprehension, but instead using his own innate aptitude to contemplate the Dao Scripture while refining Pure Source to elevate his cultivation.
