“Perhaps it has something to do with your recent state of mind. Your state of mind has changed a lot recently. You’ve become much more open-minded and less reserved. For example, today you asked me to break things, which would have been very difficult for you to do before.” Xiao Cao began to analyze Lin Yao’s situation. “Your impulsive state of mind may have pushed you to the edge. If you continue like this, your skills will naturally improve.”
"So does that mean that if you encounter something you don't like in the future, you should take the initiative to lash out, and that's what it means to act impulsively?" Lin Yao, acting as a studious and studious student, really cared about these experiences.
“It’s probably not that simple. I can’t explain it in detail. You’ll have to figure it out for yourself.” Xiaocao still gave a disappointing answer. “But I remember that Shi Nian had a similar experience back then. He killed a lot of disobedient clansmen.”
"Shennong killed people?! Impossible!" Lin Yao was extremely surprised by the information he heard and could hardly believe it. "Wasn't Shennong supposed to be a sage who loved his people like his own children? How could he have killed so many people?"
"What? Shi Nian can't kill people?" Xiao Cao looked down on Lin Yao with a tone that said, "It's normal for people who violate the clan rules to be killed. Back then, violating the clan rules could bring great danger to the people. Shi Nian only killed a lot of people for a period of time. Later, he killed fewer people. Later, he tended to educate them. Maybe it was a stage that one's mind must go through during cultivation."
"I don't know the specifics either. I only remember asking him a few times, but he didn't give me a very detailed answer," Xiaocao said softly. "It's none of my business, why should I know so much? Don't ask me, you have to figure it out yourself."
Lin Yao was speechless, feeling that Xiao Cao's attitude was not proper. After all, he was her host, and she had an obligation to help improve her abilities. Thinking of this, Lin Yao deliberately contradicted Xiao Cao, "It shouldn't be like that. You must have remembered wrong. Shennong was a very kind person."
"Publicity stunt? That's just publicity stunt!" Xiaocao scoffed. "You know how to publicize your own company, so why can't someone else publicize Shi Nian's company?"
Lin Yao was speechless, amazed by Xiao Cao's incredible learning ability. She could even explain events from such distant times using modern, fashionable terms. He felt that he would only lose if he argued with Xiao Cao, especially considering her inexperience. Who knows what level she would reach in the future?
Although Xiaocao's explanation was vague and general, it might have pointed to the key point. Acting on impulse might be the reason for his recent breakthrough.
In the past, for various reasons, I always suppressed my thoughts, and even when I made a decision, I tried to express it in a tactful way, for fear of offending others. Of course, the fear of being strapped to the dissection table was also a very important reason.
Recalling what his family had experienced in the Luo family over the years, Lin Yao felt a pang of emotion.
The old saying "A kind person is often bullied" has been proven true in many situations. While it's not necessary to be strong and domineering, being weak and compromising all the time is definitely not the right attitude. As a song lyric goes, "Strike when you need to. You can be gentle most of the time, but when you encounter difficulties and setbacks, you must not back down. Even the slightest retreat or weakness will lead to greater aggression."
"Little Grass, if you were to deal with someone at the Heavenly level now, how much trouble would it cause?" Lin Yao had an idea in mind, but he still had to ask Little Grass first, so he remained very cautious.
“Well…” Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, “If it’s someone like Yi Potian, I would have to go into seclusion for a month afterward, a complete seclusion, during which time I can’t come out to help you.”
"What if it's someone like Yi Fei?" Lin Yao was overjoyed. Changing to a Heaven-level expert every month was really cost-effective. There weren't that many experts in the world to consume. Experts were all self-respecting and not like cabbages in the market that could be found everywhere. He didn't have the habit of actively provoking people, so he figured his safety wouldn't be a problem.
“Yi Fei? That’s easy.” Xiao Cao’s tone was full of smugness. Lin Yao was very surprised. He didn’t know where she had learned this habit. She even knew how to show off. “Three days, three days of seclusion.”
Three days? That's great! Lin Yao was overjoyed and, still eager for more, continued to ask, "How many of them can someone like Yi Fei handle at once?"
"Five or six, seven or eight, maybe **." Xiaocao's words were irresponsible, the concept was too vague. "I haven't tried it, how would I know exactly how many? If you get some better poison, I think you can deal with more Yi Fei, and you only need three days to go into seclusion."
Lin Yao smiled, knowing what Xiao Cao meant by "better poisons." Currently, the most potent poisons in Xiao Cao's collection are several chemically synthesized toxins, such as tetramine and potassium cyanide. Given Xiao Cao's abilities, biological toxins would have been even more effective; it seems she'll need to collect more biological poisons in the future.
I vaguely remember that the most venomous creature in the world has some kind of toxin, like a sea snake or a poisonous frog. I need to look it up properly later so that Xiaocao can deal with more Yifeis.
Poor Yi Fei was used as a unit of measurement, and even in a death game, his life as fragile as a guinea pig.
"By the way, Yao Yao, could you get me a few more spirit stones? These things are hard to digest, and they've shrunk a lot since then." Xiao Cao made her request, which Lin Yao felt had a hint of bargaining. "I'm so weak right now, I rely entirely on spirit stones to recover after I make a move, so you need to prepare more."
Lin Yao was speechless. He didn't even know what a spirit stone was. Apart from being mentioned in random novels, there was no record of it in any other documents. He had asked Yi Yang to help him find out after returning from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, but there was not a single clue. How was he supposed to look for it? Was he supposed to go to some Tianchi Lake to try his luck again?
"I'll look for it when I have time. Maybe I can find something." Lin Yao thought that he should go and see some volcanic lakes formed by eruptions. Maybe he could really get some benefits. If he didn't get anything, he could just treat it as a trip. Anyway, he had never traveled before. His last trip to Tianchi and climbing the Great Wall could barely be considered a trip, but he didn't even hire a tour guide, so it wasn't very good.
"Then I'll go into seclusion. I'm tired of hitting the TV today." Little Grass kindly suggested that she needed to rest, and then fell silent.
"Sir, are you alright?" Yi Fei, who had been standing guard not far from the balcony, immediately stepped forward to ask Lin Yao as he got up, his face full of concern.
He hadn't figured out what had happened before, but he vaguely felt that he had gained some insight. Seeing Lin Yao finish his practice, he quickly stepped forward to serve him. The safety of this young master was the Yi family's top priority and could not be taken lightly.
"It's nothing, I just sat and looked at the night view. Go back to your room and sleep." Lin Yao said casually, wondering how Yi Fei knew he was meditating and practicing, and was even acting as if he was protecting him.
Seeing Yi Fei's strange expression, Lin Yao was taken aback and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Uh… it seems like it’s already dawn. No wonder Yi Fei thought it was strange when I said I was going to sleep. But, in just a moment of distraction, a whole night has passed?

Take a shower and go to sleep.
The Yi family's guest elder, whose status was extraordinary, needed to rest during the precious time when the day's plans began in the morning.
Yi Fei had no objections whatsoever. Completely disregarding his status as a top-tier Earth-level expert, he simply moved a worn-out stool and sat in front of the elder's room to keep watch, occasionally getting up to practice some small-scale martial arts techniques that wouldn't make a sound.
The wondrous feeling before dawn gave Yi Fei a sudden insight. He felt as if something important was right in front of him, yet it remained veiled, preventing him from truly understanding it. Yi Fei was certain this insight was related to cultivation. Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to focus his efforts on cultivation. So, without wasting a single moment, he began to explore and practice.
Sitting upright on the bench, Yi Fei practiced his internal energy cultivation, upper body combat techniques, and internal energy application skills, as well as the art of launching hidden weapons. Although he still didn't understand what he had previously grasped, he found that he now had a new understanding of these techniques and skills that he had used for decades. This inexplicable understanding helped him improve. Yi Fei felt that he had made great progress in both controlling the trajectory of internal energy in his body during cultivation and effectively distributing internal energy when making moves.
Could it be related to the master's cultivation? A question suddenly popped into Yi Fei's mind, and this hypothesis best matched his own situation.
"I heard from the Grand Elder that you are practicing a non-aggressive medical technique, but I feel that this technique is much more advanced than the 'Yi Jin Jue'. At least the 'Yi Jin Jue' could not make such a commotion during practice, and could even affect the martial artists next to you." Yi Yang had a strange thought. He suppressed the thought and sat back down on the bench to practice his internal energy, because he felt that his abilities improved the fastest when he practiced his internal energy.
At this moment, Lin Yao in the room was certainly not sleeping. Sleeping was just an excuse. After meditating all night, his energy and spirit were at their best, and he didn't need to catch up on sleep like an ordinary person.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Lin Yao was exploring and analyzing the benefits he had gained. The purity of his medical true qi had increased and it had become more condensed, but the little grass had not given any hints about the benefits. In fact, the little grass was also unclear about the changes in efficacy. Lin Yao had to figure it all out himself, so he closed the door and went into seclusion to explore the state of his true qi.
Time passed by, and after a morning of exploration, Lin Yao finally discovered some exciting abilities. The changes in his medical qi brought him many benefits, and his medical skills, based on the medical qi, were greatly improved.
This mysterious cultivation technique, which the Luo family obtained from an unknown source, has been passed down as an ancestral secret, yet no one has been able to cultivate it; at least, the family genealogy records for hundreds of years do not mention anyone succeeding. Therefore, Lin Yao could only explore it on his own. Fortunately, this healing true qi was mild in nature, and nothing went wrong.
After achieving a state of mindlessness and formlessness in the early morning, which enhanced the purity and condensation of his true energy, Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that his perception had improved dramatically. His eyesight had improved, and he could see spider larvae crawling in the corner of the room, hear the sound of wind generated by Yi Fei's body as he practiced outside the door, and even vaguely discern some of Yi Fei's movements. This wonderful experience excited him greatly.
Since his body had become closely integrated with the medical true qi, Lin Yao could not use his own body to test the healing effects of the medical true qi, so he temporarily put aside this test. However, by helping Yi Fei and the disabled children of the Yi family with their treatment, he could clearly judge the effect of the technique after another breakthrough.
Like a child suddenly given a novel toy, Lin Yao spent the entire morning holed up in his room experimenting with the functions of his true qi. As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves, and Lin Yao actually found a function that he could immediately apply. This function not only had miraculous effects in treating patients, but it could also perfectly meet some of his own needs.
The alchemy method used was derived from the herbal techniques. Lin Yao also made improvements to these techniques by adjusting the properties of the pseudo-elixir fire within his true qi, thus enabling the smelting and processing of medicinal substances.
By chance, Lin Yao used the mental technique of controlling pseudo-dan fire to manipulate medical true qi. He was surprised to find that he could change the properties of true qi. These true qi properties, which have no standardized parameters, produce different effects. They can make human tissue cells more active, or make tissue cells weak or even die. They can even control the local physiological functions of certain cells, showing very special effects.
