Human Pill

Zhang Xuezhou's speed in cultivating normal Technique Method was indeed quite ordinary, and not particularly remarkable among cultivators.

His real advantage lies in his memory, and also in the intricate methods of cultivation.

The Venerable One's "Yuan Dan Technique" is clearly not some complex technique with 108,000 acupoints, so it's normal that Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation progress is slow.

Even while practicing the Yuan Dan Technique, he was still distracted, constantly comparing the similarities between the Demon Power and genetic power in the Yuan Dan Technique.

The Mental Strengthening Chapter can strengthen the brain and maintain clarity of mind, while the Shangqing True Technique can soothe the chaos and confusion in the brain, thus giving people a chance to wake up and regain their senses. The Yuan Dan Technique is another method to resolve the confusion of old age.

As mentioned by the Venerable One, when Demon Power backfired on Zhang Xuezhou, the genetic power could also be gathered through the "Yuan Dan Technique" to form a core of genetic power. Once a backlash occurs, it can be removed through rejection, thus avoiding chaotic conflict.

Of course, the consequences of this method are also quite serious, as it can lead to the shattering of Demon Power or genetic power, resulting in the destruction of the user.

Without sufficient benefits, or if one were to fall into a high-risk situation in their later years, Zhang Xuezhou didn't think anyone would be willing to practice the "Yuan Dan Technique".

Just as he was now forced to cultivate, Zhang Xuezhou felt he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the "Yuan Dan Technique" without the unquestionable decision of the Venerable One.

He continuously channeled his 'weak' Law Power to draw and pull at the yang soul body entangled by Demon Power.

Later, he heard the Venerable One's voice, and he felt as if his Yang Soul Dharma Body had entered a furnace.

The pig iron has been transformed into wrought iron. The Yang Soul, which used to shrink and fill various parts of the body, and expand and appear outside the body almost like True Person, has lost its solidity.

Perhaps it was because His Excellency had thoroughly studied the breathing technique for severing the Yang Soul, but Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he were shedding his skin, and the Yang Soul Dharma Body was suddenly peeled off from his body.

Zhang Xuezhou did not learn the revised version of the Venerable One's "Yang Soul Incarnation Technique," but the Venerable One had an extremely good grasp of breathing techniques.

"Condense!"

Upon hearing the Venerable One's voice once again, Zhang Xuezhou knew that the preliminary work of separating the Yang Soul from the body in the "Yuan Dan Technique" had been completed.

Great demons cultivate for decades or even centuries, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, accumulating Demon Power for this very moment of condensing their core.

His Excellency lent a helping hand, which clearly helped Zhang Xuezhou overcome a significant period of time.

What followed was his mental power guiding and controlling his Law Power and Demon Power.

As the Venerable One withdrew the power that had been used to forge the Yang Soul Body, Zhang Xuezhou felt the Yang Soul contract and rebound, forcefully impacting various parts of his body once again, as if it were being forced back in.

A pricking sensation, as if needles were pricking all over his body, instantly appeared, and even Zhang Xuezhou found the pain almost unbearable.

The Venerable One relinquished control, Zhang Xuezhou took over. This required him to instantly take over everything controlled by the other party, which caught even Zhang Xuezhou off guard, despite his mental preparation.

He had no choice but to shout loudly, channeling his Demon Power and the little Law Power he could control to forcefully guide it.

The powerful spiritual force instantly reached all parts of the body, and wherever it encountered an impact, it used its Law Power and Demon Power to counter it.

As if struck by a heavy hammer, Zhang Xuezhou felt his Yang Soul Body within his body being deformed by the blow.

"I'll hit you a hundred times with a big hammer, and twenty times with a small hammer, until I've beaten you into a ball!"

Reflecting on the demon cores he had seen, Zhang Xuezhou had a general direction in mind.

The Yang Soul Dharma Body that the Venerable One condensed was a point of innate primordial energy, and by kneading it with primordial energy as the center, it slowly became a pill.

From primordial energy to primordial elixir, this represents a shift from Law Power, and also a qualitative change in Law Power.

With his cultivation at the Divine Ability Realm, Zhang Xuezhou's Law Power, which had grown alongside him, was clearly not weak. Even if it was slightly inferior to his Divine Ability Law Power Realm, it was still close to the level of a Demon King entering sainthood.

Everything in his body had met the requirements; only the transformation to form a elixir remained.

"If only it had happened a little earlier!"

After a series of hammering and pounding refining processes, the Yang Soul Dharma Body, which filled every part of its body, was constantly pulled by Demon Power and Law Power, almost shrinking into a stick figure with a large head and thin limbs, completely losing its normal form.

Zhang Xuezhou was fully prepared for the "Yuan Dan Technique" to refine Demon Power, but looking at the mixed Law Power, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, as he felt that the Yuan Dan Technique was difficult to completely remove the Demon Power from the body.

Ultimately, the Venerable One is a demon, while Zhang Xuezhou is a human cultivating Demon Power. Their philosophies and practices are not entirely the same, and it is difficult for him to adapt to the complexities of his body.

If it had happened a little earlier, he wouldn't have had his Yang-Locking Law Power broken by A Qiao. The Law Power might have yielded a Yuan Dan of pure Demon Power.

But with that little bit of Law Power mixed in, Zhang Xuezhou felt that things had changed completely.

No matter how hard he tried to refine it, he never managed to condense a spherical core within his body.

"The pill is about to be absorbed into the stomach!"

The reason why the elixir enters the abdomen is simple: only the abdomen has the widest range of orifices, which can accommodate the presence of foreign objects.

This is where the five internal organs converge, and it is also known as the lower Dantian.

Instead of forming a ball, the Yuan Dan was beaten into a stick figure. With no way to advance further, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to push the Yuan Dan towards his abdomen.

He pointed at his abdomen and felt the stick figure, which had been melted into a slender shape, continuously shrinking into his stomach.

A feeling of relaxation washed over him, and Zhang Xuezhou felt the sensation of his Yang Soul Dharma Body filling his body completely disappear.

He was still somewhat dazed for a moment.

In the past, he had been tormented by Yang Po to the point that no matter how he cultivated, he could hardly make any progress. Now, however, he had a more perfect solution, but this solution came a little too late.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't say that the "Yuan Dan Technique" was useless. After all, the Yang Soul Dharma Body condensed by the Venerable One was still an obstacle to his cultivation. Zhang Xuezhou even hoped that Zheng Wukong and others would help him update and promote the breathing technique so that it wouldn't be suppressed in his future cultivation.

"How about it?"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's body swollen and eventually return to normal, the Venerable One couldn't help but stroke his beard.

"That Yang Soul has shrunk into a demon core, so you should be able to use your Law Power without any problems," the Venerable One said.

"Vomit!"

Zhang Xuezhou punched himself in the stomach, and when he opened his mouth, a shriveled, fist-sized stick figure came out.

"Little Zhang has mastered the art of spitting out pills, but the shape of this pill is strange. The top is fine, but the bottom has several extra sections?"

"It's a bit ugly; it's probably because they took a shortcut and messed it up!"

The Feiyu Feather Demon King muttered a question, Lu Baibai Zou Bugui Bugui's face twitched repeatedly, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had been tormented beyond recognition by the Venerable One, and the burning passion in his heart slowly turned into ice.

"No matter how I try to shape this pill, I can't get it to be perfectly round," Zhang Xuezhou said after spitting out the pill.

"It cannot be accomplished..."

After glancing at Zhang Xuezhou's 'demon core,' the Venerable One ultimately decided that he was not suited to guide human cultivation.

He had previously given Zhang Xuezhou an unsuitable fortuitous opportunity, and now his confidently presented plan had clearly run into problems.

"You're human, so this pill has some human-like features. Look at it, it looks quite human. This is normal!"

The Venerable One, unwilling to lose face, insisted on explaining the relevant principles, which amazed the Feiyu Demon King and brought a sudden realization to Lu Baibai.

"So this is the Human Pill!"

Lu Baibai let out a cry, Zou Bugui's face turned ashen, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had once again been ruined by this group of scoundrels.
