Chapter 170 Zhuo Yang's Gift
As the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, sunlight streamed in, revealing a charred human-shaped object lying on a giant rock atop the tombstone hill.
A snow-white ferret darted through the fallen giant tree and finally leaped onto a boulder at the top of the mountain.
"Squeak!"
When Xiao Diao saw the charred object on the boulder, his eyes widened in shock. He jumped onto the rock and slapped Zhuo Yang hard.
The charred skin gradually peeled away, revealing the delicate skin of a newborn baby.
"Master, you're really alright!"
Little Diao became increasingly excited, but all she could manage to squeak was a squeaking sound. In her frustration, she slapped at Zhuo Yang even faster.
Gradually, a male physique, with a touch of wildness and a sculpted beauty, was revealed.
Get off me!
A cold voice came, startling the little ferret, who scrambled to the side and adopted a respectful posture, a fawning smile on its face.
Zhuo Yang stood up, glanced around, and his blood-red gaze flashed like lightning, as if he could see through the heavens and the earth and reach the nine heavens.
"Squeak!"
Little Diao barked excitedly a few times, then took out a writing board and wrote: "Congratulations, Master, on the great success of your Demon Eyes!"
Zhuo Yang glanced at him, as if a bolt of lightning had struck Xiao Diao, making her tremble with fright.
"You're right, my Demon Eyes have reached their peak!"
With a faint smile, Zhuo Yang closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze returning to its peaceful state, devoid of any sharpness.
From this moment on, nothing in the mortal world can stop Zhuo Yang's eyes. As long as he wants, no matter how you are a demon or monster, no matter how you hide, you cannot escape the observation of his demonic eyes.
His body was once again tempered by the heavenly tribulation lightning and fire, making his physical strength comparable to steel, and his meridians as tough as if plated with gold, with the surging lightning and fire true essence firmly bound by his meridians.
His true essence strength has improved tremendously. Thunder and fire blaze in his dantian, and his Thunder and Fire Demon Core is extremely active, having reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. As long as the opportunity arises, Zhuo Yang will have an epiphany and can nurture a nascent soul at any time.
"Should I break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Zhuo Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
Enlightenment was easy for him, but he hadn't even been cultivating for a month. His cultivation progressed too quickly, but his Dao heart couldn't keep up. If his inner demons came again, it would be very troublesome.
My Golden Core stage cultivation is sufficient for now. I'll wait until my Dao Heart is more stable before attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. With a lower cultivation level, dealing with inner demons will be easier.
"Squeak!"
Seeing that Zhuo Yang ignored him, Xiao Diao barked twice, then wrote on the writing board: "Master, Xiao Diao wants to transform into human form, please reward me with a magic pill!"
In her view, a pill that could attract a heavenly tribulation must be a celestial elixir.
Zhuo Yang glanced at her. "You wish! If I gave you the elixir now, you'd explode and die. Are you out of your mind?"
"Master really mastered the elixir?" Little Diao asked in shock, quickly writing and showing it to Zhuo Yang.
"No, just a top-grade precious pill." Zhuo Yang smiled faintly. "Perhaps the quality of the pill was too perfect, which is why it attracted such a strong heavenly tribulation."
Little Diao was still shocked, staring longingly at Zhuo Yang, and quickly wrote: "Master, please reward me with a top-grade precious pill, I won't explode and die if I eat it!"
"You haven't even finished refining the essence of the Cold Spring Pill, and you still want the Golden Butterfly Fire Pill?" Zhuo Yang snorted in dissatisfaction.
With his perfected demonic eyes, Da Cheng could see the condition inside Xiao Diao's body at a glance.
Little Diao smacked his lips and sighed helplessly.
She understood the principle of not trying to do too much at once, but her cultivation progress was too slow, and so many girls had appeared around her master, which made her very unwilling.
"Alright, after you've absorbed the energy from the Cold Spring Pill, I'll give you other pills to improve your cultivation!" Zhuo Yang smiled faintly, patting the little rascal's head as a gesture of comfort.
The little dog nuzzled Zhuo Yang's hand with its head as if enjoying itself, but its big eyes revealed a strange look.
Zhuo Yang frowned, then suddenly realized.
"Depend on!"
The smooth, clean figure vanished from the boulder atop the mountain in a flash.
The little dog squeaked twice and took off chasing after its owner. The owner looked even more handsome. Don't hide!
When Zhuo Yang returned to the cave, he was already dressed in simple sportswear, which did not suit the demeanor of a demon lord, but it didn't matter; it was just to cover his shame.
This is the only set of clothes I have in my Qiankun Bag. I'll need to prepare a few more sets in the future!
Sitting cross-legged on the rock, Zhuo Yang calmed his mind and took out the last two rare and precious materials from his Qiankun bag: the Purple Ying Root and the Spirit Gathering Wood Whale.
Purple Ying Root grows on corpses, and Gathering Spirit Wood Whale is redwood that grows on the corpse of a whale. Both of these things gather a large amount of Yin energy and contain a huge amount of Yuan energy, making them rare natural treasures.
The Samadhi Demon Fire rose up, illuminating the cave with a deep blue hue, making it as magnificent and beautiful as an underwater cave.
With his strength advancing by leaps and bounds once again, Zhuo Yang became increasingly adept at using the Samadhi Demon Flame, his vast true essence flowing continuously, allowing him to refine pills at an even faster pace.
In just about an hour, three Purple Spirit Gathering Pills, radiating a pale purple glow and exuding a refreshing fragrance, appeared in my palm.
"Give one to Yu Bao to improve her cultivation." Zhuo Yang smirked. "We'll use the other two to further enhance her cultivation after she breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
He laughed loudly three times, then leaped out of the cave and quickly arrived at the manor gate.
Zhou Hanxiao was still looking up, her gaze searching the mountaintop. From this vantage point, the giant rock at the summit was not visible.
"Zhuo Yang, you're not dead?!"
Seeing Zhuo Yang arrive by flying through the air, Zhou Hanxiao shouted in surprise and joy.
Zhuo Yang landed in front of him, his face dark, and said, "You can't stand to see me alive?"
Zhou Hanxiao immediately felt embarrassed and quickly lit a cigarette to cover it up.
He exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes gleaming strangely, and said in a low voice, "You've made a huge commotion, kid. A heavenly tribulation! Believe me, by tomorrow all the cultivators in China will know that you've unearthed a treasure that can attract a heavenly tribulation!"
"If you don't tell me, who will know?" Zhuo Yang smiled calmly, stretched out his arm, and a golden pill appeared in his palm, actually emitting golden light.
"W-what is that?" Zhou Hanxiao was stunned. She had never seen a glowing pill in her life!
"The Golden Winged Fire Pill, just one is enough for a cultivator to successfully form a Nascent Soul. Its effect is better than spirit crystals, and it has no side effects." Zhuo Yang explained casually, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Hanxiao.
Sure enough, Zhou Hanxiao couldn't take her eyes off the Golden Winged Fire Pill; she was practically ready to open her mouth and swallow it.
This guy is trying to shut me up with pills!
"Why are you telling me this?" Zhou Hanxiao swallowed hard, and with great willpower, she managed to look away from the pills.
Zhuo Yang raised his palm, keeping the pill in Zhou Hanxiao's sight at all times, which made Zhou Hanxiao both amused and exasperated.
Zhuo Yang said calmly, "Manager Zhou, your cultivation level is at the Golden Core stage, the Golden Core stage is at its peak, why don't you break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Da Cheng's Demon Eyes were extremely powerful. In front of Zhuo Yang, Zhou Hanxiao's technique of concealing her strength was completely ineffective.
"I'm still young, I'll leave the spirit crystals to the old man at headquarters!" Zhou Hanxiao glared at Zhuo Yang through gritted teeth. This guy was deliberately tempting her with pills!
"I see!" Zhuo Yang feigned indignation and extended his hand to Zhou Hanxiao. "Brother Zhou, we admire each other, and I can't bear to see you troubled by these constraints. I'll give you this Golden Winged Fire Pill!"
"Huh?" Zhou Hanxiao froze on the spot as if she had been frozen in place.
"This is for you, not for Longting. It's a gift between brothers!" Zhuo Yang said with a faint smile, his eyes sincere.
"This is... bribery!" Zhou Hanxiao swallowed hard, looking at Zhuo Yang with a wry smile.
Accepting the pills is tantamount to accepting a bribe; refusing them would be a disservice to oneself!
Zhuo Yang has set himself a difficult problem!
