Of course, all of the above was Su Changsheng's speculation.
Perhaps he was merely like the man of Qi worrying about the sky.
But to be cautious, he had to guard against it.
Danger lurked on every side in the Wilds. In all things, it was better to believe something existed than to assume it did not.
After all, an old saying had been passed down since ancient times: when a massive Bond Coupling Phenomenon appeared, do not flee and do not hide, for there was nowhere to hide and nowhere to flee. Be cautious and respond calmly.
For this was an event in which danger and opportunity coexisted.
Su Changsheng was just such an example. Though a series of coincidences and opportunities seemed to have entangled him in Fate-Bond Coupling, he had also reaped considerable benefits.
Although his alchemy success rate had declined somewhat, he had genuinely learned the techniques for refining the three pills. Now he had even reached the peak of initial practice and was about to break into the next stage.
This was exceedingly rare.
Studying the Dao of Alchemy was as difficult as ascending to heaven, even with the assistance of Survival Points. It was a comprehensive technical undertaking, one that required the cooperation of numerous members of the Demon Race within large Yao Groups.
Cases like his, where a lone yao could complete the refining process, were not necessarily nonexistent, but they were few and far between.
So while a massive Bond Coupling Phenomenon was extremely dangerous, was it not also an alternative kind of providence? Only, this providence carried poison.
It was a double-edged sword.
Wield it well, and it wounded the enemy; wield it poorly, and it cut your own throat.
