650 The Corpse Powder, the Divine Yang

Ling Yun stored the three spiritual herbs in his storage ring, then he brought Xue Meining to Mansion Number One.

He found an empty patch of grass at the back of the garden. After finding a good spot, Ling Yun pulled out his Devil's Blade and began to dig a hole in the ground. Soon, he replanted the three spiritual herbs.

However, changing positions was obviously insufficient. Ling Yun used his Yin-Yang harmony balance to channel pure Yang Qi into the Heaven Yang Grass. Then, he channeled Yin-Yang Qi into the Earth Yin Grass. Finally, he poured some dragon saliva onto the roots of the Dragon Saliva Herb. It was absorbed quickly by the Dragon Saliva Herb. With that, the Dragon Saliva Herb became visibly livelier. It blossomed amazingly.

At this time, Miao Xiaomiao realized Ling Yun was doing something strange. She walked out curiously from the mansion to watch what Ling Yun was doing.

"Oi, big idiot, what are you doing so secretively? Are you using plants to cover up your traces?" Miao Xiaomiao couldn't help but say this telepathically to Ling Yun.

Xue Meining opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Ling Yun stopped her. He smiled at Miao Xiaomiao. "I want to borrow something from you. Give it to me, and I'll tell you…"

With that, Ling Yun shot Xue Meining a look.

"Big Sis, I'm not angry with Big Brother Ling Yun anymore. He only did that because he saw that we were too tired from treating patients. We didn't even have time to take care of ourselves. That's why he said all that…

"Big Sis, why not just lend it to Big Brother Ling Yun…"

Miao Xiaomiao understood Xue Meining's attitude. She could tell that Ling Yun had completely pacified her little sister. Sighing quietly, she frowned. "Tell me, what do you want to borrow?"

Ling Yun thought about it slowly before naming a few poisons. Miao Xiaomiao's expression changed. "All of those are the world's deadliest poisons. What do you want them for?"

In an instant, Miao Xiaomiao seemed to understand something. She quickly said telepathically, "You want to make Corpse Powder?"

She was indeed trained well. He smiled cheekily as he nodded.

"Huh…" Miao Xiaomiao blinked a few times beautifully as she fell into silence. Then, she muttered, "You're really a huge pain. What mischief are you planning this time?"

Ling Yun's lips curled into a mesmerizing smile as she said, "Beauty, you know that I have a lot of enemies too… lots of people are finding trouble with me…"

Miao Xiaomiao's figure flickered as she appeared by Ling Yun's side. She looked at the ground before she said to Ling Yun, "Since you want to make the Corpse Powder, you don't have to anymore. I have some right here!"

Even though Miao Xiaomiao didn't deal with Ling Yun on a regular basis, she never held Ling Yun back when it was important.

It was strange, Miao Xiaomiao wasn't sure why either.

Miao Xiaomiao took out a medicine bottle that wasn't too large or too small. Inside, there was a yellowish-white powder. She passed it casually to Ling Yun as she asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

Ling Yun chuckled. "If I know how to make it, how wouldn't I know how to use it?"

The Corpse Powder was a horribly poisonous item. It contained ten different types of poisonous snakes, venom from poisonous bugs, as well as a secret method to create it, which included the use of blood. It was composed of ingredients that included super catalysts and ingredients with strong melting abilities. With only a small amount, it could turn an adult human's corpse into a puddle of yellow liquid. The corpse would disintegrate completely, and one could even reuse it afterwards.

Any corpse that was disintegrated by the Corpse Powder would create new Corpse Powder as long as the yellow liquid solidified. As long as it was collected in time without being contaminated, it could be stored inside a bottle for future use.

Only specialists in poison that cultivated curses would be able to create such an item.

Miao Xiaomiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ling Yun, you have to…"

Ling Yun said plainly, "I know what I have to do."

Miao Xiaomiao didn't say anymore. Xue Meining saw that her big sister had given Ling Yun what he wanted and happily bounced to Miao Xiaomiao's side. Pulling on her elbow, she told her about the three spiritual herbs.

Miao Xiaomiao listened as she stared at Ling Yun strangely and muttered, "Strange, these are such highly sought-after treasures. Even ancient sects might not possess a single one. How did you get all these at once?"

Ling Yun chuckled in response. He glanced at the three spiritual herbs on the ground before returning to the mansion.

"What's so bad about staying here? There's spiritual energy for cultivation and lots of people to accompany you. Why did Aunty have to return to Qingshui Wharf… and she even took Xian Er away, my dear Xian Er…

"But, after taking those spirit stones from the Lord of Jade's courtyard, the amount of spiritual energy in Mansion Number One has diminished a fair bit…" Ling Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the time. He felt that it was still a little early, so he pulled Xue Meining along and ran out.

He had a clear goal. Ling Yun returned to Antique Street again. He continued to sweep the stores. Including the time he went on a rampage, this was his fourth time here, and also his last.

The spirit stones at Qingshui City's Antique Market were already more or less swept clean by Ling Yun, but there were still a few that had slipped past him. Since they were treasures, Ling Yun definitely wouldn't let them go. This was part of his principle.

The Divine Yang cultivation technique used a huge amount of spiritual energy. It wasn't something a normal person could imagine. Even if Ling Yun used twenty bottles of the Shichiyou herb solution and all of the spirit stones he had on hand, he wouldn't be able to reach the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique.

The Divine Yang cultivation technique had a total of nine major realms and nine minor realms. That meant there were a total of 81 realms. They completely fulfilled the principle of the 9-9 Pure Yang theory. The ability effects of this technique were immensely strong, and its attack power was second to none.

However, at the same time, the cultivation difficulty was beyond that of any other cultivation techniques. Especially after a person arrived at the 9-5 realm, it wasn't a point where he only had to use a bundle of spirit stones at a time. It involved using dozens of spiritual pulses at a time. Between Heaven and Earth, finding a single huge strip of spiritual pulse wouldn't even be enough to surpass one minor realm.

He knew that Earth's resources were impossibly scarce and that the spiritual energy was horribly barren. However, Ling Yun still wanted to give it a shot!

Even though he didn't have a pure Yang body anymore, he still chose to continue to cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance. After all, the energy center within his body contained pure Yang Qi, so he had an infinite supply of it. As long as he had pure Yang Qi, he could cultivate the Divine Yang cultivation technique as much as he liked. The abilities didn't conflict with each other.

Even though the Divine Yang cultivation technique had to be cultivated using a pure Yang body, that was only because the cultivator required the use of pure Yang Qi within him.

I have to cultivate it. I must give it a shot. Even if I don't break through the second major realm in my entire life, I have to do it!

Ling Yun met his challenge with excitement and grit.

Furthermore, Ling Yun's Black Yellow Sutra produced Black Yellow True Qi. It interacted with his Emperor Brush magically, which gave Ling Yun a lot of hope.

That was, in the case that he cultivated the Divine Yang cultivation technique and was able to channel the Xiantian True Qi within the Emperor Brush, Ling Yun would strike gold. Not to mention the other benefits, he could at least reach the third major realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique!

If the Emperor Brush knew about Ling Yun's plans, it definitely would have quivered in fear, disappearing immediately and running away as fast as it could. The Emperor Brush hid a large amount of pure Yang Qi. However, there were drawbacks as well. It required sky-high amounts of Xiantian True Qi to recover. That was an amount of energy that was impossible to estimate. How could it offer that much spiritual energy to Ling Yun?

…

Ling Yun brought Xue Meining along as he used his divine sense. They took a stroll around the Antique Market. He ascertained the locations of seven spirit stones.

Then, Ling Yun headed straight for Pearl Jade Court and called Song Zhengyang out. Taking out his checkbook, he began sweeping the stocks.

Ling Yun was in a rush to hit Physique Tempering Stage Nine. Now, he couldn't be bothered about the price. As long as the boss was willing to offer spirit stones to him, he wouldn't bother bargaining. He bought them at once.

After two hours, Ling Yun had spent a total of 87 million yuan and acquired the seven remaining spirit stones in the Antique Market. Greeting Song Zhengyang, he invited him and Yu Shengjin to dinner the next day. He said that he had a business deal to discuss. Song Zhengyang accepted the invitation immediately before Ling Yun left nonchalantly.

On the second floor of Tianxi Pavilion, Murong Feixue stood by the window of her office. She happened to see Ling Yun and Song Zhengyang part ways. Seeing that there was yet another beauty by Ling Yun's side, her delicate body quivered slightly. Her fingernails dug deeply into her flesh as her snow-white teeth nearly pierced through her red lip. However, she couldn't feel a single ounce of pain.

This was the fourth girl. The first time, it was Long Wu. The second was Ning Lingyu. The third time, it was Lin Menghan. Now, it was Xue Meining…

Why do you have so many women by your side? Why? You've come to my Tianxi Pavilion before, so why won't you visit me at all?

Murong Feixue's face turned ghastly white, and she lost her tenacity.

…

After dinner, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu arrived. Of course, they brought Abing over as well. The three of them huddled together for the entire afternoon.

"Brother Yun!" When Abing met Ling Yun, he bowed deeply and yelled Brother Yun with a strained expression.

Ling Yun glared at Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu for a moment before he gestured for Abing to take a seat. "Have a seat."

Abing tilted his head as he looked at Tang Meng. Tang Meng smiled. "Brother Yun told you to have a seat. What are you looking at me for?"

Abing didn't say anything else and sat down obediently.

Ling Yun didn't like Abing's attitude at all. This wasn't his true nature. The boss of Green Dragon was someone who was as fearsome as a dragon, a tiger, or a wolf. He definitely wasn't a dog.

"Abing, if you can't return back to how you were in one minute and let go of your servitude, you'll be staying in this mansion for no longer than a minute," Ling Yun said plainly, not moving a muscle.

He saw Abing let out a long sigh, then he turned and shot a glare at Tang Meng. Leaning back on the sofa, he pulled out a cigarette. Without care for the people around him, he began to light it. Puffing out smoke nonchalantly, he even cocked his leg up arrogantly.

With ease and in a completely natural way, he moved in a self-assured manner.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were thoroughly shocked. He actually dared to act like this in front of Ling Yun. In the past, Tang Meng did that as well. However, he didn't dare to act like that anymore. He didn't expect Abing's character to change with a snap.

Shocking! Amazing! Truly amazing! He was truly top-quality!

Ling Yun's heart was absolutely satisfied. Smiling, he said, "Good, kid. You're much better than Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, that trash. I like that!"

"Then, there's only one problem left. If I hand Green Dragon over to you, will you be able to manage it properly on my behalf?"

"Piece of cake!" Abing smirked as he said this. The glow in his eye resembled a wolf.

Lifting his hand, Ling Yun took the information on Green Dragon's properties and accounts from Tie Xiaohu's hands. Flipping through it casually, he memorized all of it. Then, he tossed it to Abing.

"Abing, you're the one who said it was easy. After three months, I want to see results. There's no problem with that, right?"

"Brother Yun, relax. That's no problem at all."
