Inside the grand hall of the Yanhuang Sect, He Yiming opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
“Whew… My injuries are finally healed! The Azure Emperor Longevity Physique is truly extraordinary. Not only did it restore me so quickly, but it also improved my body's resilience after recovery!” He Yiming nodded in satisfaction as he assessed his state.
He then flipped his hand, producing a fist-sized core that glimmered faintly.
“The Inner Core of the Deep Sea King… a Foundation Establishment-level core!”
If it weren't for the system—especially the Destiny Art: Lord of Fortune—He Yiming would have immediately refined this core into Superior Condensing Spirit Pills to boost his cultivation.
One pill could significantly elevate his power, with a slim chance of directly propelling him to the peak of the Spiritual Vein Realm.
However…
Thinking of the players, He Yiming paused and quickly made a decision.
“With the Lord of Fortune, reaching the peak of the Spiritual Vein Realm is only a matter of time. Instead, I'll refine this into a Superior Ascension Pill!”
He Yiming planned to wait for the spiritual herbs in the sect's Spirit Field to mature. Using the Deep Sea King's core as the main ingredient, he would craft the pills, likely achieving superior quality.
After all, the formula for Ascension Pills varied, but a Foundation Establishment-level core guaranteed exceptional results. Defeating and obtaining the core of such a monster was already exceedingly rare, as many beasts chose to self-destruct upon death to prevent cultivators from obtaining their cores.
Decision made, He Yiming carefully stored the core away.
Just as he finished, a voice echoed in the hall.
“Brother Ming, are you there?”
“Yes,” He Yiming replied, stepping out of the cultivation chamber.
It was Wang Lufei.
“What is it, Wang Lufei?” He Yiming asked kindly, adopting the demeanor of a senior guiding his junior.
“Master… I've encountered a problem in my cultivation and need your guidance!” Wang Lufei replied earnestly.
“Speak.”
“Here's the issue!”
Wang Lufei immediately reversed the flow of the Azure Emperor Longevity Physique.
Zzzt! Blood energy surged, and his body began to overheat and strain. While his strength rapidly increased, his body was visibly breaking down.
He Yiming recognized the issue instantly. While this reversed technique granted temporary power comparable to the Spiritual Vein Realm, it would eventually shatter Wang Lufei's meridians, crippling him.
“Brother Ming, I feel this reversed technique has endless potential, but I can't seem to unleash its true power. Is there a solution?” Wang Lufei asked expectantly.
Wang Lufei was frustrated. He had developed this “Second Form” of the Azure Emperor Longevity Physique, but despite his efforts against the Deep Sea King, his attacks had barely left a scratch. The forum had even started calling him “Scrape King Wang Lufei.”
He couldn't stand it!
For a regular cultivator, such reckless techniques would be seen as suicidal. But for a player? Broken meridians? Death? Respawn and try again!
“Of course, there is!” He Yiming smiled.
“The Azure Emperor Longevity Physique is one of the Ten Supreme Divine Physiques! Reversing the flow all at once creates instability and overburdens your body, limiting its potential.”
“Instead, start by reversing the flow of a single meridian. Once you adapt, move on to two, then three, gradually increasing the l”
“This way, you'll not only sustain the technique longer, but the power will build progressively, far surpassing your current output!”
He Yiming explained calmly. No one understood the Azure Emperor Longevity Physique better than him, with his system-perfect mastery.
“So, it's like opening the Eight Gates? Reversing one meridian is like opening one gate? Brother Ming, you're amazing—I get it now!”
“No, it's not exactly like…”
“Eight Gates! Damn, I just discovered the Eight Gates technique! Brother Ming, you're the best!”
“Wait, the principles of meridian flow don't align with…”
“Hahaha, I, Wang Lufei, am truly a genius! Brother Ming, you're incredible!”
“Well then, congratulations on inventing the Eight Gates.”
He Yiming sighed in defeat. When it came to dealing with a hyperactive, role-playing enthusiast like Wang Lufei, it was best to just let him be.
“Thank you, Brother Ming!” Wang Lufei bowed deeply and cheerfully skipped out of the hall.
No sooner had Wang Lufei left than Top Ice Mage arrived.
“Brother Ming, are you free?”
“Yes. What is it?” He Yiming asked curiously.
“Brother Ming, I've been practicing Ice Spells for so long, but during the last battle, my ‘Triple Ice Blast' didn't work at all! Does this mean Ice Mages have no hope?” Top Ice Mage asked bitterly.
He was deeply frustrated. His carefully honed ultimate move, the Ice Burst Kick, had been utterly useless against the Deep Sea King.
“With your cultivation at Body Refinement Realm, facing a Foundation Establishment monster, this is inevitable.”
“However… try a different approach.”
“Your individual power is limited, but what if you coordinated with others? Ten people? A hundred? Combining your Ice Spells?”
He Yiming offered this advice with a knowing smile. In the cultivation world, joint spellcasting techniques were common. He even taught Top Ice Mage one of the simplest but most effective group techniques from Haotian Academy.
“Thank you, Brother Ming!” Top Ice Mage bowed excitedly before rushing off to test his new idea.
Moments later, Starry entered the hall.
“Brother Ming, do you have a moment?”
“Go ahead,” He Yiming nodded.
“Brother Ming, in the last battle, I knew what to do, but I couldn't coordinate the team effectively!” Starry lamented. “I had the strategies and plans, but the others couldn't follow my instructions in time. Is there some kind of communication technique or… maybe a group interface, or plugins? Ugh, what am I saying, you're an NPC. You wouldn't know about these things…”
Starry trailed off, realizing how absurd his request must sound to an NPC.
“I understand!” He Yiming's eyes lit up.
