Squeak~~

The wagon wheels rolled over the muddy road, making a squeaking sound.

After more than a month on the road, even the most sturdy carriage frame started to loosen up a bit, making strange noises.

As the team progressed, traces of large snakes began to appear along the road.

It was often possible to see giant pythons coiled around tree branches on either side of the mountain forest, flicking their tongues and hissing.

“Oh, so many snakes!”

Liang Yunhui exclaimed.

She curiously observed the pythons on both sides, without any sign of fear on her face.

Given Liang Yunhui’s strength, facing so many giant pythons still posed a considerable danger.

But she wasn’t alone; sitting beside her was her powerful mother.

In Liang Yunhui’s understanding, her mother was towering and formidable; with her mother around, she feared nothing.

At the front, Guangxuan Escort Agency saw the snakes rampant in the forest and took powder from the supplies, sprinkling it on the oxen, horses, and carriages.

Once done, everyone also sprinkled the powder on themselves to prevent the giant pythons from approaching.

“Do you need snake repelling powder?”

Lin Zheyu asked Liang Yuhan.

Before setting off, he had prepared quite a bit of powder to drive away fierce beasts, snakes, insects, and pests based on the recipe in the Poison Canon, which came in handy at this moment.

“No need, we have it too.”

Liang Yuhan didn’t speak; it was Liang Yunhui who responded.

“Alright then.”

Lin Zheyu nodded and continued researching the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Treating the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, which ignites life potential by burning essence, qi, and spirit, as a qi blood purification technique—only Lin Zheyu could manage that.

In the consciousness space, using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill only expends spirit without harming his foundational health, so he could use it recklessly.

Ordinary martial artists don’t dare use the Blood Boiling Secret Skill too many times.

After using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, it’s very challenging to fully recover, leaving some hidden dangers behind.

Using it frequently, even if each time does not exceed three minutes, could harm one’s foundation, leading to a significant decline in strength and drastically reduced lifespan.

“The Blood Boiling Secret Skill purifies qi blood mainly through apertures, involving burning essence, qi, and spirit, exploding into more refined energy.”

“If I could research the connections within, the roles of different apertures, perhaps I could create a qi blood purification secret technique that doesn’t harm the spirit.”

Lin Zheyu pondered secretly.

It’s just a conceit, still a far cry from reality.

His understanding of apertures was practically non-existent.

Despite learning the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, the parts involving apertures were a black box to him.

Lin Zheyu only knew how to use it, but not the principles behind it.

“It’s a pity, enhancing the Blood Boiling Secret Skill with Source Power overburdens the spirit; otherwise, I could directly elevate it to the Qi Blood Five Transformations level now.”

Lin Zheyu said helplessly.

He felt that this time it would take at least about ten days to fully restore his spirit to peak state.

Although the Blood Boiling Secret Skill is incredibly powerful, it drains the spirit too aggressively.

In reality, using it once would exhaust essence, qi, spirit, and potential.

Exceeding three minutes starts depleting essence, qi, spirit, and potential; over six minutes leads to direct collapse and death.

Only in the consciousness space, each use of the Blood Boiling Secret Skill saw spirit consumption reduced to a minimum by the mysterious Source Power.

But tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of operations and accumulating spirit consumption posed significant spiritual overdraft dangers.

“When reaching the city in the Central Plains, if I don’t find a good cultivation technique, I’ll use the Blood Boiling Secret Skill to purify qi blood, causing a qualitative transformation.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

Outside the city, the dangers lurked everywhere; enhancing with Source Power overburdens the spirit too severely, placing him in jeopardy.

Spiritual overload is far riskier than breaking physical limits and depleting the body.

If the body is drained, encountering danger, he could immediately use Source Power with medicinal baths, finding a common cultivation technique to enhance and recover quickly.

While spiritual depletion only allows slow, gentle recovery.

Setting aside the Blood Boiling Secret Skill for qi blood purification, this journey meant Lin Zheyu wouldn’t attempt using Source Power to enhance the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

He began researching methods to halt the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Last night, enhancing the Blood Boiling Secret Skill with Source Power, ran the secret technique tens of thousands of times, mastering it to perfection.

He gained a deeper understanding of the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Lin Zheyu discovered many flaws in his previous conceptions.

Going according to those thoughts wouldn’t lead to success.

“Hiss—”

“My head hurts too much, I don’t want to think anymore…”

Lin Zheyu pondered for a while, shaking his head.

After spiritual overload, he not only felt brain pain but also experienced auditory hallucinations, difficulty in concentrating, and various symptoms.

In this state, it was impossible to concentrate and research methods to halt the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Lin Zheyu abandoned the research.

Sitting outside the carriage, cross-legged on the ground, running Soul Secret Skill and Turtle Breath Skill to accelerate spiritual recovery.

Mentally chanting the Purifying Heart Spell, auditory hallucinations vanished, scattered thoughts disappeared, creating a moment of spiritual clarity.

Undoubtedly, the Soul Secret Skill from the Seven Evils Ghost Canon was remarkable.

Even without the Visualization Map to assist, the Purifying Heart Spell alone yielded commendable results.

Sadly, the Soul Secret Skill couldn’t appear in the consciousness data; otherwise, Lin Zheyu truly wanted to try enhancing it with Source Power to see the effects.

The reason it couldn’t appear, Lin Zheyu had some guesses.

Perhaps because it lacked the most crucial Visualization Map, deeming it not a complete cultivation technique.
