135: Improve again!

The next morning.

Yang Dian opened his eyes to the crowing of roosters, feeling a bit annoyed as he curled up a few times.

He had finally hoped to sleep in, but was woken by the chickens again.

Dressed in his pajamas, Yang Dian walked to the corridor and looked at Yangs Mother, who was feeding the chickens, and couldn't help but say:

"Mom, I want to eat chicken."

He Mei followed Yang Dian's gaze to the black-backed rooster crowing loudly on the chicken coop and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yang Dian:

"I'll buy it for you at the market later."

"Why not just butcher Old Black?"

The rooster stopped crowing, looked up at Yang Dian, then flew back into the coop.

"Mom, Old Black is glaring at me; it's become a spirit!"

"It dares to glare at me now, soon it'll peck me, and by afternoon, it'll eat me!"

"We can't keep it!"

He Mei continued to scatter grain into the chicken coop.

"It's best if it becomes a spirit."

She stroked the rooster's blood-red comb a couple of times:

"If it pecks you to death, you ungrateful little thing, I'll raise it as my son."

Just as Yang Dian was about to retort, he saw the black-backed rooster look up at him again.

Although he didn't feel any malice, those chicken eyes were exceptionally lively.

"Oh my, it can't be a real spirit, can it?"

Muttering, Yang Dian pulled his head back.

"Never mind, I won't eat chicken. I want to eat fish for lunch."

"Go back to sleep, I'll buy it for you later..."

No longer sleepy, Yang Dian lay back on his bed and simply called out his panel, preparing to arrange his upcoming Cultivate tasks.

"After eating eight lotus seeds, my Qi Blood more than doubled!"

"Also, Dudu is a bit outrageous."

"If my Physique hadn't been sublimated, the first trait for Dragon Claw Hand would have required 25 energy, the second 250 energy, and the third 2500 energy."

"But now, it only takes a total of 625 energy to manifest the third trait, which is only a quarter of the original energy required."

"And this isn't even the limit."

"How much energy can all these Cultivation Technique save me?"

Hearing Yang Dian's praise, Dudu detached from its Fusion state, squirmed a couple of times, and lay on the box.

The transmitted perception was very clear.

It was urging Yang Dian to eat heaven and earth treasures, and then share the energy with it.

"Look how greedy you are, you little thing."

He picked up Dudu and squeezed it a couple of times:

"Do you think I'd shortchange you?"

Thinking, Yang Dian started calculating again.

"Although I can consume energy to gain experience now, there's no big rush for the time being."

"Seven drops of earth core milk can increase energy by about 1050 points, and the plum blossom adds up to about 2200."

"That's a total of about 3300."

"Although the more Advanced the sublimation of Physique, the more star energy is required."

"If I give half of the 3300 energy to Dudu, can the energy required for cultivation be reduced to 20% of the original?"

Yang Dian thought it was feasible.

"If 3300 is split in half for Dudu, I'll still have about 3500 energy left."

"With this amount of energy, if I allocate it well, I can probably manifest five or six traits."

Thinking, Yang Dian's gaze fell on Martial Arts like Five Animal Frolics and Eight Section Brocade, which were not part of his plan.

"Should I also manifest traits for these Martial Arts?"

After some thought, Yang Dian shook his head again.

The stronger the strength, the smaller the effect of low-Rank traits.

For example, Dragon Claw Hand and Grass Tread Flight.

Do the first traits of Dragon Claw Hand and Grass Tread Flight, Bronze Bones and Iron Sinews, and Swift as Wind, still have an effect on Yang Dian?

Yes.

But very little.

It could be said to be almost negligible.

In this situation, is it necessary to Cultivate traits similar to them?

Perhaps.

If there are many traits, a quantitative change might lead to a qualitative change.

But here, there's an element of uncertainty.

If he really had that much energy, wouldn't it be better to directly Cultivate Advanced traits?

"Forget it, I'll practice these unplanned Martial Arts when I have time, to see if any useful traits emerge."

"If there are, then I'll decide whether to increase energy investment."

"For now, it's better to Cultivate these main Martial Arts."

With that thought, Yang Dian decisively opened a tin can and swallowed the earth core milk in one gulp.

As the earth core milk entered his stomach, a burning sensation rose from his abdomen.

However, compared to the feeling of swallowing a small sun the first time he consumed earth core milk, this time the sensation was much better.

This time, Yang Dian only felt a slight burning sensation, without the feeling that the earth core milk wanted to roast him from the inside out.

'My strength has increased, so my resistance to abnormal states has also increased?'

'Speaking of which, am I still missing a Martial Arts for training my internal organs?'

As he pondered, the earth core milk was Fast Digestion by Yang Dian, transforming into energy and nutrients for physical improvement.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the constantly rising energy and the progress bars of various Cultivation Technique, and Yang Dian suddenly thought of something.

"Dudu, come back and swallow all the remaining energy!"

Besides containing a large amount of energy, heaven and earth treasures also contain a large amount of substances beneficial to the human body.

These substances can also increase the progress of various Martial Arts Cultivation Technique.

In this situation, it is of course most cost-effective to first sublimate the body to its limit, and then consume resources to improve strength.

Otherwise, how wasteful would that be?

With a cheer, Dudu dropped from the air onto Yang Dian's head.

The next moment, the pleasure derived from the essence of life improving once again enveloped Yang Dian.

"Awesome!"
