Chapter 76: Chapter 76 The Elder of the Heavenly Medicine Discovers the Black Flood Dragon!

"Demon pills have properties, and so does spiritual power... Could they possibly be related?"

Lu Chen mused to himself. Among the monsters he had slain, some could spew ice or breathe fire.

After killing these monsters, their demon pills seemed to have some differences.

However, at that time, Lu Chen didn’t think much of it. Now, recalling Yu Qingqing’s words, he couldn’t help but have a new thought.

"Why not wait until Yu Qingqing’s demon pill is bought, and then examine it with the Pupil Skill?"

So far, the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique’s usefulness to Lu Chen, besides night vision, was mostly in combat, allowing him to slow down his opponent’s moves and find their vulnerabilities.

Although he had always wanted to discover other wonders of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, the right opportunity had never come.

The sense of crisis had never ceased, and it was only now, after slaying Wu Chiren, that he felt a moment’s peace.

It was this peace that gave rise to other ideas.

If he absorbed different types of spiritual power to cultivate the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, would it also produce different effects?

For example, if he absorbed entirely Fire Spiritual Power, would his use of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear under Imperial Command exude a fiery spear?

Or would other types of spiritual power produce different effects?

With this thought, Lu Chen began to try distinguishing and absorbing spiritual power.

The first and foremost was Fire Spiritual Power.

Its distinctive crimson color was especially conspicuous; Lu Chen braced himself, extremely cautious.

With his current abilities, he naturally couldn’t solely absorb one type of spiritual power.

He could only try to absorb more Fire Spiritual Power as much as possible.

But before long, a voice came from outside the house.

"Is Chen Lu there?"

Lu Chen couldn’t hear it, but Xiao Hei shuddered all over, its scales standing on end!

The approach was completely silent, and without any murderous intent, it hadn’t sensed anything at all.

If the other party hadn’t spoken, perhaps it wouldn’t have reacted even if they had entered the room.

In urgent need, Xiao Hei directly bit down on Lu Chen’s forearm!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Chen only heard a sound like flowing water coming from inside his body, as if all the spiritual power was dissipating, and he suddenly woke up!

"Xiao Hei, what’s wrong?"

He quickly opened his eyes and looked outside the house; under the shadow of his pupils, he vaguely saw a figure!

Someone was here!

"Who is it!"

Lu Chen grasped his spear, vigilantly getting up from the bed to the ground.

Xiao Hei also intelligently burrowed under the bed.

"It’s me, the Old Medicine Sage!"

Lu Chen’s eyebrows tightened, what was he doing here?

Could it be that he sensed something about himself?

He carefully took the book Zhao Chang had given him from his chest and stuffed it into the blanket.

"Old Medicine Sage, may I inquire the purpose of your visit?"

Only then did Lu Chen go to open the door. The Old Medicine Sage, with slightly disheveled hair and a faint medicinal scent emanating from his body, stood on the stone steps at the entrance.

"I have come here simply to give you a warning," said the Old Medicine Sage, his expression unchanged, in a calm tone, "By killing Wu Chiren, you have directly offended Xu Zhengde and the Dean! Chen Lu, I am just reminding you to be careful!"

Lu Chen was slightly startled. The Old Medicine Sage’s tone wasn’t very friendly, but since he was a stranger, yet made a special trip to warn him, it was enough to show his goodwill.

"Thank you for the warning, Teacher, Chen Lu understands!"

Lu Chen bowed again.

The Old Medicine Sage nodded slightly and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly paused, flaring his nostrils and stopping in his tracks.

"You... have brought a monster into the room?"

Lu Chen was startled, but before he could speak, he saw the Old Medicine Sage frown even more deeply!

"This aura, it seems to be that of a black Jiao snake! Chen Lu, do you know... recently, the Polar Treasure Meeting has been looking for a black Jiao snake?"

Lu Chen had thought that the Old Medicine Sage had become greedy, as a creature coveted by the Polar Treasure Meeting like the black Jiao snake must be no ordinary beast.

But to Lu Chen’s surprise, the Old Medicine Sage was still only offering a warning!

Frankly, Lu Chen admitted, "Yes, Teacher, I have brought a black Jiao snake here!"

Upon saying this, Lu Chen also decided to reveal his identity, "Teacher, if it’s not too much trouble, why not come inside and have a look?"

The Old Medicine Sage appeared surprised, glanced at Lu Chen, and his ageless face suddenly showed a hint of a smile.

"Alright, let’s have a look then!"

The Old Medicine Sage revealed a meaningful smile, stepping into the room!
