After Favorability Is Maxed

221 Liu Yuan Fell Into Deep Thought

“He went to check on the white jade palace that collapsed, meow.”

Chuichui was lying on Liu Yuan’s shoulder. She turned her head and rubbed against Liu Yuan’s neck in a very clingy manner. She meowed and narrowed jer eyes.

Liu Yuan nodded and pinched the orange cat’s ears. He analyzed, ‘Since this guy has been treated as a host by a Martial Emperor, he definitely won’t hand over the money for the Green Centipede this time. After all, if he wants to get contribution points, he’ll have to go through the process of the mission as evidence.”

“And now that the Martial Emperor has given me the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, he might only be able to get the cultivation technique from the Body Demon outside the tomb. In this case, it’s better to betray the Green Centipede. It’s more cost-effective for him to run away… He is still a disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion, and he doesn’t look like he’s low status. He’ll most likely report this to the Taiqing Pavilion. The Taiqing Pavilion will definitely protect him, and he won’t have to be afraid of the Green Centipede’s pursuit.”

!!

Liu Yuan analyzed Tang Yuanhua’s psychological state and even thought of his escape route. He turned to Zhiying and said, “That’s fine too… You guys can also take a break. When he returns, we can walk along the way and send him out.”

“Father, are you planning to befriend him?” Zhiying nodded.

Liu Yuan cleared his throat and said with a smile, “Not really… Martial Emperor said before that he won’t disappear for the time being because he has to do something. I dare to guess that he’s going to take revenge on the people who framed him and his wife. In the previous battle, he definitely still has a lot of energy left when he killed the Three-headed Heavenly Demon at the end – he didn’t use his full strength at all.”

Although Liu Yuan almost had to switch gears and start all over again because of He Qingmeng, he did not intend to take his anger out on the Martial Emperor’s ‘inaction’. After all, the Martial Emperor was not obliged to help him… It was more of a helpless situation.

That Marrow-Cleansing Classic Scripture should have been given to him as compensation, so it was not a loss.

Zhiying’s pupils shrank. She had no time to observe this in the previous battle. Liu Yuan guessed that she had the time to notice these details because she did not participate in the battle at that time. However, her sensitivity to these details was already amazing.

“He’s trying to preserve the strength of his remnant soul,” the young lady said in a deep voice.

Chuichui was filled with righteous indignation. “This old sly b*stard!”

Liu Yuan quickly suppressed the cussing words from the cute kitten’s mouth.

He continued, “He needs to preserve his strength. However, he really wants to kill the Heavenly Demon. So, on one hand, it might be because he wants to take revenge. On the other hand, his remnant soul has a time limit. Moreover, the time limit should be relatively short. It’s not that he doesn’t want to occupy Tang Yuanhua’s body permanently, but he can’t.”

Zhiying understood, “Therefore, after the Martial Emperor’s remnant soul has taken revenge with Tang Yuanhua, it’s very likely that it will disappear. Tang Yuanhua will have to deal with the follow-up matters after that. Father wants to see what Tang Yuanhua will do before deciding whether to befriend him or help him. For now, Father is just trying to make a good relationship with him.”

“You’re a promising child,” Liu Yuan was very pleased.

Zhiying revealed a smile, not only because Liu Yuan praised her, but this mean that he might take her as a concubine.

The young girl looked at Liu Yuan’s expression and felt that he probably did not know.

Thus, Zhiying hid this little joy in her heart. With just a smile, she returned to her original indifferent appearance.

Liu Yuan was stunned by the short but beautiful smile, but he did not know what kind of girlish tenderness was hidden in it.

They sat down to rest. Hong Luan started to read the Puppeteer’s diary again, while Liu Yuan planned to study the changes in his Dantian.

This newly formed black and white vortex, compared to the original vortex in the Dantian, the efficiency of absorbing spirit power was almost twice the original.

The tempering between spiritual power and demonic Qi was like a millstone. With every breath, it could swallow a large amount of spiritual power and then refine it with extremely high efficiency. There was a visible improvement every minute and second.

The Golden Core had always been a dividing line between mortals and cultivators.

When one reached the Core Formation stage, one could be considered to have truly touched the threshold of cultivation. It was called the ‘Great Way of the Golden Core’. To cultivate the inner core, one had to use the human body as a furnace, and the essence and Qi in the body as medicine, then use the divine fire to refine it.

As for how to burn it and how efficient it was, it would be a problem for each family’s cultivation technique.

This method of Liu Yuan’s was probably unprecedented.

However, he frowned and felt that something was not right. The vortex in his Dantian seemed to be stirring in a certain direction.

Liu Yuan judged that it was probably where the Three-headed Heavenly Demon had fallen.

It was a kind of ‘hunger’.

Right now, the vortex, demonic Qi, and spiritual power in his Dantian had reached a balance. However, the spiritual power would increase with the growth of his cultivation, while the demonic Qi could only be controlled.

Unless he could obtain more demonic Qi, he could only kill and devour more demons.

As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

After a while, Hong Luan suddenly tugged at the corner of Liu Yuan’s clothes.

Liu Yuan opened his eyes from his deep thoughts, and the little puppet whispered, “I found out…”

“What?” Liu Yuan was stunned and could not react in time.

The little puppet then opened the diary and pointed to one of the places. “This is the white jade palace.”

“And then?” Liu Yuan nodded.

“This is what the white jade palace looks like after it’s transformed,” the little puppet moved her finger down and said.

“…?” Liu Yuan looked at the Gundam-like object on the yellowed scroll and fell into deep thought.

This angular white body and these eight wings, was the game producer crazy?

Rumble…

Liu Yuan subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the white jade palace, and his voice was hoarse, “Oh, Tang Yuanhua went to check the palace. I hope he didn’t trigger any…”

Boom!

A loud, clear sound rang out, and the ground began to shake.

A huge and magnificent body of white jade slowly ‘rose’ from the ground in the forest. The various parts were still assembling, lifting up a piece of soil and trees. They all fell down and smashed onto the ground. The ‘lower half’ was covered in mud and dust.

Tang Yuanhua’s voice could be heard from afar. “Hurry, run!!!”

Liu Yuan, “…”

“Those wings aren’t decorations,” Hong Luan added. “They really can fly.”

…

At the entrance of the island, the teams of different sects were all teleported in one after another.

They all raised their heads at the same time and looked at the eight-winged white jade mechanical puppet that looked like a demonic god.

The eight thin and featherless wings looked mighty, but they seemed to be powerless.

Buzz… Whoooosh!

After a series of buzzing sounds, the eight wings actually exuded the brilliance of spirit energy, and then sprayed out a wave of spirit energy from them, like a beautiful butterfly’s wings, indicating their danger.
