Several Pills

Zhou Liang opened his eyes, looked at the empty training ground, and slowly stood up.

The tattoos on his back began to glow as though they had come alive.

Little Red and Little Blue, who had not finished fighting, slowly emerged. Then, using both hands and feet, they climbed onto Zhou Liang's shoulders.

"You two, use your strongest attacks. Each of you, attack one dummy!" Zhou Liang pointed at the training dummies and spoke to the two little creatures.

"Yah yah yah!" The two nodded, then leaped out.

Before their bodies even landed, red and blue light surged from them.

Frost and blazing flames instantly swept across the training ground, centered on the two of them.

When the frost and flames vanished, Little Red and Little Blue appeared on the training ground in completely different forms.

Little Red's originally cute face had turned somewhat savage. Its entire body was covered in crimson muscles, making it look like a demon.

Little Blue's blue skin, meanwhile, gave it an aura that seemed capable of freezing one's soul.

Charging forward, frost spread in an instant. Little Blue rode the icy aura and shot forward through the air at low altitude.

Pillars of ice rose at tremendous speed and instantly hurtled toward a training dummy.

Bang!

The dummy's chest was pierced straight through by the ice pillar. Then, the pillar exploded, turning into a vast chill that condensed once more and directly froze the dummy within it.

Little Red, on the other side, caused an even greater commotion. Exploding blazing flames sent the dummy flying into the sky, while flames blazed fiercely all around it.

Little Red and Little Blue returned to their chibi forms. Each planted their hands on their hips, looked at the scene, and laughed in satisfaction.

"Yah~ Yah yah!"

Zhou Liang, standing behind them, could not stop his mouth from twitching. He had not expected these two to be such destructive maniacs!

He stretched both hands forward, and countless red and blue motes flew out from the frost and flames, pouring into his hands.

The flames and frost gradually dissipated as well. Once the last mote flew away, the surroundings returned to calm.

Only, the damage they had caused could not be restored.

"Sigh! If I remember correctly, this training ground's scheduled repair time should be the day after tomorrow, right?" Zhou Liang said after looking over the destruction around him.

"Luckily, there are still two days. But I never expected these two little fellows to have such destructive power." Zhou Liang watched the two little creatures run toward him and spoke with a hint of amazement.

"They have roughly the destructive power of a level forty assault-type Soul Master. This should be because of the Red-Blue Buff. And this power is not restricted by the Soul Ring system, so it can grow stronger freely." Thinking of this, Zhou Liang smiled.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a blue ripple instantly spread out, covering an area forty meters around him. This was the Blue Buff Domain.

"The domain's power has grown stronger too. If they reach level seventy and become Soul Saints first, the strength of these two domains might rival true innate domains!" Zhou Liang slowly closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings.

Little Red and Little Blue grabbed his feet and slowly climbed upward. When they reached his shoulders, they stood there.

Standing on his shoulders, they both looked toward the top of Zhou Liang's head, and their eyes immediately lit up.

They stepped on his ears and tried to climb up. Grabbing his hair and stepping on his ears, both Little Red and Little Blue climbed onto his head.

However, the small space was not enough for both of them to stand there.

"Yah yah yah!"

"Yah yah!"

The two quarreling little creatures did not notice that Zhou Liang's expression had already darkened. He raised both hands and fiercely slapped the top of his head.

Slap!

Both of them turned into specks of light and scattered between his palms.

Those motes then surged back toward Zhou Liang's back and were absorbed by the two tattoos once more.

Afterward, they slowly poked their heads out, cautiously clinging behind his shoulders and peeking at Zhou Liang's expression.

Zhou Liang swept his gaze across them, causing Little Red and Little Blue to immediately shrink their heads back and hide behind him, leaving only four tiny fingers exposed.

"One of you gets each shoulder. If either of you dares ride on my head again, I'll hang you up and let the other beat you up," Zhou Liang said, threatening the two little creatures.

"Yah yah!" Little Blue hurriedly nodded and pointed at Little Red.

"Yah yah yah!" Little Red shook its head like a rattle drum and pointed at Little Blue.

"All right, go back. Don't come out whenever you please unless I call for you." Zhou Liang shook his head slightly and spoke to them.

Little Red and Little Blue nodded, then slowly sank down and returned to the tattoos.

"They may be mischievous, but they have tremendous potential and great strength. Very fine spirit bodies!" Zhou Liang thought approvingly as he walked.

Zhou Er was currently only in the twenties in terms of strength. If not for having absolute control over Little Red and Little Blue, he would have been completely unable to stop them.

Time passed, and several days went by.

Over the past few days, Zhou Liang had continuously explained the key points of the cultivation method to Dugu Yan every day, finally allowing her to understand it completely. After confirming that she could recite it all from memory,

Zhou Liang burned the notebook that recorded the cultivation method, then began trying to cultivate the Hard-and-Soft Qi.

Although this cultivation method was intended for Xiao Wu, the Heavenly Origin Breathing Method within it was very suitable for cultivation, especially the parts that increased bodily flexibility.

If Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan cultivated it, all three of them would surely benefit greatly in the future, and its effects would be extraordinary.

Aside from that, Zhou Liang also began studying those pill formulas.
