C6 Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture

When Jiang Mang witnessed Lin Yun's victory over Wang Dana, he murmured softly, "Interesting."

Everyone was aware of Lin Yun's usual timidity. Subjected to the casual cruelty of servants and maids, he would maintain his silence. So, it came as a complete shock when Lin Yun struck back at the nefarious Steward Wang today.

Observing the crowd's reactions, Lin Yun allowed himself a sly chuckle. "Looks like I've made my point today."

In an unexpected move, Lin Yun approached the unconscious Wang Dana, seized one of his legs, and began dragging him along.

At that moment, a pill room employee couldn't resist asking, "Young Master, where are you taking Steward Wang?"

Lin Yun's gaze, sharp as a blade, fixed on the inquirer. "Do you have any objections?" he asked icily.

He was still investigating the Bone Corrosion Grass matter and had no intention of letting Wang Dana off the hook. His plan was to interrogate the steward until the truth was uncovered.

The employee replied, visibly unnerved, "No objections here."

With a cultivation level merely at Power Refinement Grade Three, he stood no chance, especially considering that Wang Dana, at Grade Five, had been bested by Lin Yun. He dared not voice any dissent, and his question had not stemmed from concern for Wang Dana's wellbeing.

After dragging Wang Dana only a short distance, Lin Yun halted as if struck by a sudden thought. He raised his voice, "If anyone requires more pills, come to my courtyard first thing tomorrow morning. I'll have Grade Two pills for sale. And in the future, I'll offer even higher grades—Three, Four, and yes, even Grade Five!"

The crowd's expressions shifted subtly at this proclamation.

They had assumed Lin Yun's stock was limited to common Grade One pills like the Marrow Cleansing Pill, never anticipating his possession of Grade Two pills, let alone his promise of higher-grade offerings to come.

High-grade pills were scarce in the market, monopolized by the Great Qin Dynasty and the major sects. Disciples of the Mystic Moon Sect, lacking powerful backing, often lacked the means to acquire such treasures, regardless of wealth. Lin Yun's bold claim of future Grade Five pill sales left many exchanging bewildered glances, wondering, "Has Lin Yun truly become that formidable?"

Dragging Wang Dana, Lin Yun returned to his dilapidated courtyard. As he walked, he felt his strength ebbing, the Divine Power Pill's effects fading, leaving him overwhelmed with fatigue and weakness.

The side effects had set in, as expected. At his Power Refinement Grade One level, the Divine Power Pill was bound to have significant repercussions. But Lin Yun had been compelled to act. His visit to the pill room was not solely for earning points; it was crucial for reasserting his presence among the sect's disciples.

Lin Yun had transformed.

From this day forward, no one would dare to underestimate, belittle, or trample upon him.

He quietly reviewed his attribute panel and couldn't suppress a smile. Today had indeed been a windfall.

"Initiate the first section of the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture!" Lin Yun commanded.

"500 points will be deducted," announced the system's voice.

As the system beeped, a torrent of information flooded Lin Yun's mind. The text of the first section of the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture's techniques etched itself into the depths of his memory.

"Stage One: Death Proof! The primary aim of the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture's initial section is to forge one's body and skin, rendering the flesh impervious to blades and spears," the system elucidated.

Lin Yun's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He discovered that the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture was a legacy technique from the ancient times. Mastery to Great Completion would grant one the power to pluck celestial bodies from the sky and shatter eternal landscapes with a mere shout.

"The system's upgrade reward is truly formidable," Lin Yun mused.

Yet, mastering this technique would come at a steep price. To achieve Stage One, Death Proof, he would need a staggering ten thousand Marrow Cleansing Pills—a colossal investment for any martial cultivator.

In essence, practicing the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture demanded a plethora of resources, well beyond the means of the average person. But for those who succeeded, they could effortlessly vanquish peers of equal rank.

"Without the system, I wouldn't even consider attempting such a technique," Lin Yun admitted to himself, awed by the prospect.

The cultivation costs were astronomical, but with the system's assistance, he could endlessly concoct various pills for his training. And given today's progress, the system was bound to evolve, enabling the creation of even more potent pills. This positive feedback loop meant his wealth and points would only soar. He was confident he could sustain the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture's hefty expenditures!

Notably, while his earnings translated into points, the system didn't absorb his actual silver. This was a clear advantage, as it meant he could use his earnings to trade with other martial cultivators for additional resources.

A chuckle escaped Lin Yun's lips.

In time, his reserves of cultivation assets and wealth would be boundless.

"I wish to master the art of crafting Fasting Pills, Illusionary Divine Pills, Cultivation-dissipating Pills, and Heart-cleansing Pills," Lin Yun declared.

"700 points will be deducted," the system intoned.

Without hesitation, Lin Yun redeemed his points for over a dozen Grade Two pill recipes. With sufficient psychic force to refine these pills, he wouldn't fret over accruing a wealth of points.

"Begin refining the Cultivation-dissipating Pill!"

Exhaustion weighed on Lin Yun. It took considerable effort to drag Wang Dana into the yard. Then, he forcefully fed the freshly concocted Cultivation-dissipating Pill to Wang Dana.

A Grade Two pill, the Cultivation-dissipating Pill would, within seven days, eradicate all Genuine Force from a Power Refinement Stage martial cultivator, rendering them indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

With the effects of the Divine Power Pill he had taken nearly faded, Lin Yun, now merely a Power Refinement Grade One martial cultivator, was exceedingly frail. Should Wang Dana awaken, Lin Yun would stand no chance against him. Hence, the Cultivation-dissipating Pill was necessary to temporarily strip Wang Dana of his powers.

"Young Master, what are you up to?" Meng exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise as she took in the sight of a panting Lin Yun and the unconscious Wang Dana. "Why have you brought Steward Wang here? Is he drunk? Won't he catch a cold sleeping on the ground like that?"

Meng moved to help Wang Dana, but Lin Yun stopped her. To her, Wang Dana was a benefactor who had provided medicinal herbs and even saved Lin Yun's life. What she didn't realize was that Wang Dana had been plotting to poison Lin Yun.

Lin Yun, not wanting to burden kind-hearted Meng with such dark truths, offered no detailed explanation. He simply found a length of hemp rope and tied Wang Dana up in the woodshed, cautioning Meng against untying him.

Though puzzled by her Young Master's harsh treatment of Wang Dana, Meng obediently nodded. To her, Lin Yun was the most trustworthy person in the world, and she was ready to back him without question, no matter the circumstance.

"System, I need a hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills and one Heart-cleansing Pill," Lin Yun commanded inwardly.

"Insufficient psychic force. Please recharge," the system intoned.

Refining so many pills had drained Lin Yun's psychic force significantly. Without hesitation, he exchanged 800 points for an additional 8 points of psychic force.

"No worries. I'm well-off," he muttered to himself, his point balance plummeting to 460 with no trace of regret.

Lin Yun then filled a large tub with water, and although Meng offered to assist, he gently declined, chuckling at her slender arms and insisting she needn't bother.

Meng watched, baffled, as Lin Yun tossed a hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills into the tub. Each pill was worth a small fortune, and the sight would have enraged any other martial cultivator.

But then, something extraordinary happened. The pills dissolved instantly, turning the clear water a shimmering jade green.

Captivated by the radiant water, Meng gasped, "Young Master, what is this? It's absolutely stunning!"

Unaware of the fortune in pills now swirling in the tub, Meng could only marvel at the beauty. Lin Yun, meanwhile, began to disrobe with a playful grin.

"Best step outside. I'm about to bathe. Unless you're planning to stick around for the show?" he quipped.

A blush creeping onto her cheeks, Meng hastily exited the room, her heart racing. "Has Young Master changed since his recovery?" she wondered.

Alone, Lin Yun swallowed the freshly refined Heart-cleansing Pill and plunged into the potent Marrow Cleansing Liquid. The Grade Two Heart-cleansing Pill was designed to keep the mind clear and free from the Internal Demon's influence for a brief time.

Lin Yun was preparing to endure the grueling first stage of the Demonic Heavenly Profound Scripture, Death Proof, amidst the powerful Marrow Cleansing Liquid. The process promised to be excruciating, the kind of pain few could withstand. A single lapse in concentration could result in unconsciousness, rendering all his efforts futile.

Therefore, it was essential for him to take the Heart-cleansing Pill to maintain a lucid state of mind, allowing him to persist in his cultivation practices.
