Ye Tianyun successfully created a method for improving mental power, which he named the Star Contemplation Method.
In just a short time, Ye Tianyun's mental power made a major breakthrough, but he still didn't let up.
He felt he could take a page from the wizards' book and use certain herbs to make potions that could improve mental power and aid cultivation.
Tang San wasn't surprised at all.
After all, he knew many Immortal Herbs, each with a variety of effects, so it was only natural to make potions from them.
Fortunately, Ye Tianyun had studied medicine while creating the Guidance Method. This was also thanks to Douluo Continent, where Spirit Masters were few and far between. Ordinary people couldn't just call on a Spirit Master, so medicine had been developed to take the place of healing-type Spirit Masters.
Ye Tianyun soon had an idea. He decided to use... beep beep beep...
Just as the crucial part came up, the Live Broadcast Room suddenly started beeping, replacing the content.
Tang San's expression darkened again:
"Who are they trying to keep this from? Who? Do they think I'd secretly learn it? I'm an honorable person. I'd never secretly learn anything."
The Soul Saint Brothers sneered at him.
Did he have no shame at all?
The entire Douluo Continent knew that Tang San had personally broken into the Scripture Library to steal the Tang Sect's secret manuals. He was practically the greatest thief of all time.
Ye Tianyun soon created the first version of the Spirit Refreshing Potion, but he didn't use it himself. Instead, he bribed the city lord with a hefty sum to buy a group of condemned criminals and use them for testing.
Tang San seemed to have found something to hold against him, and reproached him smugly:
"See that? He's shameless. He actually used people for experiments. I'm ashamed to be associated with him."
Everyone fell silent. Nobody condemned Ye Tianyun.
Come on, this was Douluo Continent. Killing and arson were everyday affairs, never mind Ye Tianyun using nothing but condemned criminals.
No one cared about people like that.
What they were curious about now was whether Ye Tianyun's potion would actually work.
A week later, after using more than a dozen condemned criminals, Ye Tianyun had gotten through the worst of the side effects. At least they'd all survived, and in the final version, the condemned criminals were full of energy with no side effects at all.
After confirming the final formula, Ye Tianyun named it the Focus Potion and began preparing a batch for himself.
That very night, Ye Tianyun took the Focus Potion and contemplated the stars. His efficiency improved by about twenty percent.
Everyone was amazed.
"He's incredible. He came up with a special potion in just about a week."
"I just realized that all those doctors in the past, who weren't even Spirit Masters but could still create healing potions, must have been brilliant too."
Yu Xiaogang listened to the praise, his heart sour. How he wished people would praise him and call him Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, he wasn't capable enough. If only Ye Tianyun had been his student. How wonderful that would be.
Tang San didn't notice Yu Xiaogang's disdain.
Another half month passed. With the help of the Focus Potion, Ye Tianyun's mental power finally broke through its limits and reached an entirely new realm.
After his mental power broke through, Ye Tianyun shifted his focus to Artificial Spirit Bones, intending to create one.
The Soul Saint Brothers marveled again.
"As expected of Ye Tianyun. He's incredible—now he's making Spirit Bones."
"Exactly. He can overcome any difficulty and relies entirely on himself, unlike some people."
Beside them, Tang San knitted his brows and glared at the Soul Saint Brothers.
He wanted to demand who they meant by "some people." Were they talking about him in particular? He couldn't help feeling they were rubbing it in.
With his powerful mental strength, Ye Tianyun examined the Spirit Bone inside his body and studied the Evil Eye Spirit Bone.
After only a brief inspection, Ye Tianyun discovered a faint pattern within the Evil Eye Spirit Bone. This might be the secret behind Spirit Bones.
Divine Realm.
Asura God was silent for a long while before he spoke:
"This human is absolutely the most talented person I've ever seen. There may not be anyone who can surpass him, not in the millions of years before him or the millions of years after."
Even God of Destruction, for once, didn't argue.
To study the secrets of Spirit Bones before turning twenty, while only a Soul Grandmaster, was the mark of a true genius.
Apart from the gods, Ye Tianyun was the only one who had succeeded.
God of Goodness murmured to herself:
"If only we could find the Ye Tianyun from our universe and make her my successor. How wonderful that would be."
She and God of Evil had been planning to pass on their divine positions, but still hadn't found suitable successors.
Ye Tianyun was perfect for the role. Someone so talented, even praised by the Live Broadcast Room, would bring prestige to them, too.
Asura God's eyes darted around. If there really was a Ye Tianyun, he wouldn't be opposed to abandoning Tang San. Tang San simply couldn't compare to Ye Tianyun.
Poor Tang San had no idea that Asura God already looked down on him. He was still dreaming of becoming Asura God one day.
The Live Broadcast Room continued.
Ye Tianyun saw through some of the secrets of Spirit Bones. He planned to create one and quickly came up with a plan.
"First, to make an Artificial Spirit Bone..."
The people of Douluo Continent pricked up their ears.
They didn't need Spirit Bones in other places, but they did. They needed them badly.
They were all desperate to learn the method and mass-produce Artificial Spirit Bones to improve their strength.
But unfortunately, halfway through the explanation, the Live Broadcast Room started beeping again and left out the entire process.
At last, after countless failures, Ye Tianyun successfully created a Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone.
Tang San frowned deeply. A thought came to him, and he publicly challenged it:
"If they don't even tell us the method, they can say whatever they want. Who knows if it's real? Maybe it's all fake."
He hoped the Live Broadcast Room would reveal the method.
It might not work, but there was always a chance.
Unfortunately, the Live Broadcast Room had already seen through Tang San's little scheme and paid him no mind.
Instead, it showed them a scene.
Ye Tianyun held a Spirit Bone in his hand, its surface shining brilliantly and drawing countless eyes.
One by one, they looked at it with greedy eyes.
They truly wanted to rush into the Live Broadcast Room and snatch Ye Tianyun's Spirit Bone. With a Spirit Bone, they could improve their strength.
Even if it was only a Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, it was still something they could never hope to possess.
"What do you think this Spirit Bone's skill is?"
"Who knows? What a pity I don't have a Spirit Bone. I've never even seen one. If anyone gave me a Spirit Bone, I'd be theirs."
The crowd's envy twisted Tang San's face with jealousy.
Why did Ye Tianyun get to enjoy everyone's praise and adoration?
He wanted to be the center of attention, too.
Ye Tianyun held the Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone, but didn't use it himself. He looked down on it, so he planned to give it to someone else to test. In the end, Canghui Academy got the benefit.
"What does that mean? He actually looks down on the Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone? Rabbits are so cute! I haven't even accused him of bullying rabbits yet."
Xiao Wu was furious. Looking down on the Soft Bone Rabbit was the same as looking down on her.
She really wanted to take out her own Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and show Ye Tianyun what she had.
