One month later.
Two more Outer Sect disciples had been promoted to the Inner Sect.
Meanwhile, that month, Chen Yu had found a poison pill with an unusual effect in the Poison Scripture. Numbered 61, it made the user's dantian scorchingly hot, as though a raging fire had erupted inside it.
It seemed like something that could aid his cultivation of the True Yang Technique. Chen Yu immediately began studying it, only to discover that it required a material called "Red Bull Blaze."
He searched through all the available records but found no clues whatsoever.
Just as Chen Yu was about to give up, heaven smiled upon him: poison No. 61 happened to appear in the Poison Hall's refreshed stock.
After preparing an antidote pill in advance, Chen Yu took roughly a tenth of poison No. 61 to test it. Searing heat and pain instantly surged through his dantian. Not only did it fail to help his cultivation, it nearly left him psychologically scarred.
No.
I have to change my approach.
Being able to cultivate the True Essence Profound Canon with poison last time was pure luck. Even if poison No. 61 could help me cultivate the True Yang Technique, I can't keep gambling with my life. Cultivating with poison is far too risky. Following that path to the end would almost certainly mean death. I can't keep going.
Once that path proved unworkable, Chen Yu found himself at a loss.
Where exactly is the breakthrough I need to cultivate the True Yang Technique?
Is it really impossible without a fire spirit embryo?
Do I really have to abandon this one and only Profound Grade fire attribute cultivation manual and switch to those Yellow Grade manuals?
Or perhaps I should cultivate manuals of other attributes first.
