Hearing Mo Gei Lianās question, Ye Yu smiled and said ā
Mo Lintian
is your cultivation methodāyouāre free to give it to whoever you please. But let me remind you, this is an absolutely one-in-a-million
Body-Refinement Technique
(the supreme method for sculpting oneās physique). Itās priceless. If you intend to hand it over, youād best wait for someone to offer a sky-high price!ā
Frankly, Ye Yu had no concern that
Mo Lintian
might spread and someone else might surpass him. With the aid of
Tiandao {Nā¢oā¢vā¢eā¢lā¢iā¢gā¢hā¢t} Chouxin
(Heaven rewards the diligent), he had long since perfected the method.
Even putting aside the complexity of the techniqueāit wasnāt something an ordinary practitioner could grasp. It was excruciatingly tedious and abstruse, and several sections that appeared useless were in fact deeply profound. They required careful contemplation and personal insight to advance. Otherwise, one might, like Mo Gei Lian, practice it incorrectly and end up bloated and feeble as paper.
And that was assuming the practitioner belonged to the correct race and had superior talent. If they were of a different race with slightly weaker aptitudeālike A Rui with his inner demonāhe would be utterly incapable of cultivating
Mo Lintian
. Even if Ye Yu broke the method down into fragments, A Rui could never comprehend it.
That was the reality of racial differences. By Ye Yuās estimation, only the Strength Demons could possibly cultivate it.
Donāt ask why Ye Yu couldāhe owed nothing to conventional limits! With
Tiandao Chouxin
on his side, any technique before him yielded instantly. As the maxim went, I handle the effort; the rest is left to fate. And, as luck would have it, fate belonged to meāhow could you beat that?
Mo Gei Lian nodded thoughtfully, then asked again āBig brother, how exactly should I go about demanding a sky-high price?ā
āAs the saying goes, donāt be the one rushing to sellāwait until buyers come to you. Demon Lord Bai Miaoxiang wonāt do; that old fellow picked such a sissy name and then expected to get our method for free. Heās in for a rude shock!ā
Ye Yu curled his lip in disdain. Those who expected to sponge off him deserved death!
Mo Gei Lian heartily agreedāindeed, why would anyone get something for nothing?
That very night, several sects within Lianhuazhou came one after another to curry favor at Chimo Hall. Among them was Suo Xian Valley, the new head of which, Wen Yinqing, sent generous gifts.
Though Mo Gei Lian usually appeared easygoing, he was shrewd. From their words and deeds he saw plainly that each sect coveted his techniqueāand all had heard rumors of the strongest
Body-Refinement Technique
in the Demon Realm.
In truth, he had never imagined the aftereffects of hiring a professional mud-stirring team would run this deep. No wonder they were a professional outfit!
After sending off all the guests, Mo Gei Lian pondered long within the Blessed Land Grotto. Since everyone coveted his method, perhaps it wasnāt impossible to wait for a buyer and demand a fortune. But would he really let those scoundrels learn
Mo Lintian
?
Hehāof course not. Who were they to practice the same method as me and my big brother?
With that thought, Mo Gei Lian decisively fabricated his own version of
Mo Lintian
āone whose true content amounted to only a fifth of the original. The rest he filled with nonsense. With such a method, even a genius could not truly cultivate
Mo Lintian
. That was exactly the effect he wanted.
And he had already prepared his answer: if anyone asked why they couldnāt master it, he would say their talent and fortune were insufficient. The method was superb; if they couldnāt use it, what did that have to do with him?
Having resolved this, Mo Gei Lian laughed aloud within the Blessed Land Grotto.
Two days later, Ye Yu set out from Chimo Hall to travel. Although Mo Gei Lian and A Rui tried to stop him, his mind was made up. Time in the dream realm could not be wasted standing still. He had to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible. If the Celestial-Defying battle truly began in six months, he needed sufficient strength!
Seeing Ye Yuās determination, Mo Gei Lian relented and only begged his big brother to remember to return after his travels. He also revealed the tampering heād done to the method.
After hearing it, Ye Yu couldnāt help but laugh.
Time passed swiftly. In five monthsā time, Ye Yu advanced from late Demon LordāRealm to the pinnacle of Demon EmperorāRealm. Through his journey, he confirmed his hypothesis: sustained, high-intensity combat not only triggered the
Tiandao Chouxin
talent, granting him power, but also raised his realm cultivation. It required continuous, intense battles, but even so, Ye Yu was satisfiedāthis meant he had gained another means of advancement.
With the six-month deadline approaching, Ye Yu ceased wandering and returned to Lianhuazhou. The once desolate Chimo Hall was now thronged with people. Even before entering, he could hear the Strength Demons training inside. Disciples stood guard at the gate. This place had truly flourished!
Ye Yu strode forward, about to enter, when the guards blocked him. āChimo Hall admits only Strength Demons. Other races, please detour. No summons, no entry.ā
Ye Yu paused in surprise. Something so professional?
He said softly āI am of Chimo Hall tooāIām just back from my travels.ā
The two guards exchanged a glance and asked in low voices āDo you have credentials?ā
He really had none. Watching their dutiful demeanors, Ye Yu could only circulate his demonic qi and call out loudly āMo Gei Lian, come out!ā
Under the influence of his qi, every ear in Chimo Hall heard him clearly. At once, nearly a hundred Strength Demons streamed out, and the two guards glared at Ye Yu with fury. āHow dare you address our sect leader by nameāare you seeking death?ā
They moved to seize him, but at that moment a figure hurtled over and kicked the two guards flying. The newcomer was none other than Mo Gei Lian, whom Ye Yu hadnāt seen in ages.
Big brother, it really is you.
A smile appeared on Ye Yuās faceāMo Gei Lianās excited expression left no doubt that his arrival had delighted him.
