One more catty, one more attribute point

"Hiss..."

Watching the white silk-like mist wandering in the pitch-dark forest in front of him, Su Heng's pupils contracted.

The leopard was powerful, and it wasn't even the real body of the mist demon.

How formidable must the real mist demon be?

Not right!

Upon closer thought, Su Heng felt there was a flaw in this idea.

He was here now, and since the mist demon was determined to kill him, if it still had the strength, it could simply send another puppet to deal with him.

But the fact was...

After the leopard was mortally wounded by Su Heng, there was no more movement from the mist demon; instead, it actively used the fog to block a large area of the forest.

The true coward was not Su Heng, but rather the mist demon in the forest.

"With the leopard fallen, the mist demon is also significantly injured. Should I take this chance to explore Heikui Mountain again, perhaps I'll find the mist demon's real body."

Such a thought rose in Su Heng's mind.

But even though he could smell the demon's scent within a certain range, finding a demon in the vast mist-covered Heikui Mountain was undoubtedly like finding a needle in the ocean.

He might even get lost in the forest, which would be the worst case scenario.

With this thought.

Su Heng could only give up.

Whoosh!

He no longer stayed.

Carrying the body of the five-tailed white leopard, he lightly tapped his toes on the ground, his form suddenly blurred, turning into a black line stretching towards the direction of Changqing County.

In less than half an hour, Su Heng returned to the small courtyard in Nine Rows Alley.

He went to the basement.

Su Heng began dissecting the body of the mist demon.

Flaying, sinew-pulling, deboning, and flesh-slicing.

He hung the organs categorically on hooks, and chopped the flesh into pieces to put in wooden barrels for curing.

With his experience handling the water ghost and the large amount of tools like boning knives prepared beforehand, such work was easy for Su Heng, and his mood was exceptionally good.

The water ghost, although nearly two meters tall, was too frail.

There was not much flesh on its body.

But this white leopard was truly a fierce beast, over a meter long, with firm muscles, and could yield at least three hundred pounds of beast meat.

The only pity was, Su Heng did not find any demon corpse within the body of the white leopard.

The white leopard was not a true demon.

Its flesh, compared to that of the water ghost, would have slightly less effect.

By the time Su Heng finished processing the body of the white leopard, it was already unknowingly late in the afternoon. He left the courtyard and went to the Su Family mansion for dinner.

He happened to encounter Su Li returning home.

Su Li and Xiao Qing, one after another, got down from the carriage.

They also looked towards Su Heng from afar, Su Li squeezed a smile on her face, and slightly nodded towards Su Heng as a gesture of greeting.

Then she, accompanied by her maid, left, disappearing from Su Heng's sight.

Su Heng waved his hand.

The coachman responsible for driving the carriage quickly came to Su Heng.

After a conversation, Su Heng learned that Su Li had gone to the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall that afternoon.

"Is she investigating my past experiences?" Su Heng raised his head, looking towards the gradually setting sun in the western sky.

Images surfaced in Su Heng's memory.

Su Li's return home, the complex expression on her face during their first meeting.

The strangely styled compass in her hand, the flickering red light on the compass.

And the extraordinary strength that Su Li exhibited when they embraced, along with the eerie maid accompanying her.

"Could it be..."

Su Heng's expression turned slightly odd.

Gradually, a rough guess emerged in Su Heng's mind.

"Could Su Li have been bewitched by a demon, even led astray? This could be troublesome."

...

...

...

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Su Heng observed Su Li's actions in secret while gaining a large number of attribute points from the flesh of the water ghost and the Five-tailed White Leopard.

Su Li's peculiar movements gradually corroborated Su Heng's previous speculation.

Meanwhile,

in terms of the cultivation of his cultivation technique, Su Heng was making rapid progress as well.

A massive amount of demonic beast flesh was absorbed and converted by him, enabling him to accumulate about ten attribute points each day. Ten attribute points, when added to a cultivation technique, amounted to what would be ten years of arduous cultivation for an average person.

Moreover, the gain of attribute points not only heightened the level of his cultivation technique but also came with an increase in body weight and further enhancement of his physical body.

"Huff..."

A breeze blew past, casting a dappled shadow through the trees.

Under a lush locust tree in the small courtyard of Jiutiao Lane,

Su Heng opened his eyes, a terrifying red light flashing through them momentarily.

He looked up and swallowed the last piece of flesh from the water ghost, feeling the vigorous and powerful life force of the demon being slowly extracted and absorbed by him.

He got up and moved his feet away from a wooden basin filled with hot water.

He didn't even put on shoes.

He just walked barefoot on the soft black soil,

walking back and forth around the locust tree, feeling that the food he had just eaten had digested quite thoroughly.

Only then did Su Heng focus his spirit, and a light gray attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

[Su Heng]

[Height: 1.95 meters]

[Weight: 355 pounds]

[State: Vein Mutation 75%]

[Cultivation Techniques: Yang Pole Black Evil Skill Ninth Layer (Special Effects: Yang Pole True Strength, Evil-breaking Roar), Red Poison Technique (Beginner)]

[Attribute Points: 60]

In five days, he had gained sixty attribute points.

Su Heng was quite satisfied with this progress, a large amount of demonic beast flesh combined with the digestive aid from the Water Ghost Poison Sack,

had perfectly unveiled the potential of his Golden Finger.

So, the next step was to strengthen his existing cultivation techniques to the extreme.

His current state was Vein Mutation.

Su Heng was looking forward to seeing what kind of changes would come when the Vein Mutation reached one hundred percent, and what sort of realm his life level would enter into.

"First, let's start with the Red Poison Technique."

Hiss!

Thirty attribute points were thrown in, instantly elevating the Red Poison Technique from the beginner level to a limit-breaking level.

This technique was extremely domineering.

To achieve great success, one had to incorporate a deadly fire poison into one's body using a special method.

This process was extremely perilous, and the slightest inattention could lead to the fire poison activating, resulting in sudden death.

Of course...

The Red Poison Technique, upon reaching completion,

was considered the strongest among Su Heng's three cultivation techniques.

Whereas the other techniques at a profound level regulated the body and expanded longevity,

the higher the proficiency in the Red Poison Technique, the deeper the fire poison corroded the internal organs, thus being short-lived and prone to sudden death was likely.

Thus,

this Red Poison Technique can be described as a standard demonic cultivation technique.

The attribute panel's specialty came into play again, bypassing the extremely dangerous step of integrating fire poison directly and bringing the cultivation technique to perfection.

Moreover, the characteristics of the fire poison were also perfectly simulated through a special transformation of the true strength.

[Detected that Red Poison Technique and Yang Pole Black Evil Skill have some overlapping content, whether to choose to integrate both techniques.]

"Yes!" Su Heng did not hesitate, and clicked confirm.

[Techniques are being integrated… Integration ongoing… Integration complete!]

[Crimson Yang Black Evil Technique Ninth Layer (Special Effects: Yang Pole True Strength, Fire Poison, Evil-breaking Roar)]
