766: Improvement from 0 to 1

"Little handsome, come in and play~"

"Young Master, it's been a long time since you came to see this humble one~"

"Young Master, look at this beautiful scenery, look at this jade-like beauty, don't let it go to waste..."

Wooden wheels rolled over the rough bluestone road.

Amidst the bumps, Yang Dian vaguely heard the sounds of soliciting guests.

'Severely injured and unable to control my thoughts, that's one thing, but how can I still hear such calls?'

'Is my sturdy body telling me that it's tired and wants a foot massage?'

In a daze, Yang Dian smelled a thick, powdery scent of women wafting into his nasal cavity.

Soon after, the air became sweeter, and a tingling sensation covered his face.

Following an intoxicating fragrance that broke through layers of blockade, it finally awakened Yang Dian, who had been constantly devouring the planet's Origin, recovering his body, enjoying the joy of rain after a long drought, while simultaneously enduring the destruction of his body by the Blood Curse chains, suffering endless pain, and constantly traveling between Heaven and Hell.

Opening his eyes in a slightly dazed manner, Yang Dian reached out and took the gauze veil covering his head.

Following the scent, he turned his head.

Yang Dian then saw, behind a second-floor window, a woman wearing a pink face veil and draped in translucent gauze, her skin like white jade silk shimmering in the sunset, appearing very shy...

"A madam?"

"That pimp called her that, didn't he?"

"I've been targeted by a madam?"

Reaching out and clutching the gauze in his palm, Yang Dian was a bit distracted for a moment:

"How did I get targeted by a madam?"

While doubting life, Yang Dian subconsciously stroked the Little Black Cat beside him, which had turned back into its small cat form because it didn't perceive any danger.

The Little Black Cat, woken up by Yang Dian, rubbed its eyes, then raised its head and glanced at the window where the madam was:

"Human, that fox says she wants you to go up and play."

Yang Dian paused, seriously sizing up the madam standing by the window.

His Divine Thought swept out, and three fox tails were clearly visible at her tailbone.

"It really is a fox spirit, damn it."

"Doesn't this damn place lack Spiritual Qi? How did a fox become a spirit?"

His Divine Thought, which had just recovered a little and hadn't reached the threshold for the Blood Curse chains to devour, swept out, and everything within a ten-thousand-meter radius was clearly visible in Yang Dian's perception.

But just like before, he still didn't perceive the existence of any Spiritual Qi.

"Not right."

While searching, Yang Dian's gaze narrowed and fell onto the abyss on the chest of the fox spirit madam on the second floor of the Spring Breeze Building.

There, a pearl-sized pendant hung before the abyss.

At first glance, it was just a pearl.

But upon closer observation, one could see occasional swirling light flowing through the pearl.

When his thoughts seeped into it, he could even perceive an extremely pure special energy within.

It didn't belong to any familiar energy Yang Dian had seen before, but it was extremely pure, just a bit more explosive, not easily digested by ordinary people.

"Does this world have the supernatural?"

Yang Dian's eyes dimmed.

He thought this world was just an ordinary one that hadn't experienced a Qi Revival, allowing him to lie down and slowly recuperate, or even gradually master his own devouring ability.

But now, the rhythm didn't seem prepared to go as he had imagined.

The way the fox spirit looked at him was like a weasel seeing a chick, unable to wait to swallow him whole.

"Although the fox spirit has three tails, her strength is average; she didn't even notice when I observed her with my severely damaged Divine Thought."

"However..."

"If there's a three-tailed fox, could there be a four-tailed, five-tailed, six-tailed, or even a nine-tailed one?"

"If there's a nine-tailed fox, how strong would she be?"

Yang Dian didn't want to gamble on the accuracy of Chinese mythological legends, and he certainly didn't want to place his safety under the threat of others.

"So, I have to delay the plan to master the devouring ability~"

"Fortunately, the gains on this road are not bad."

Indeed, not bad.

If before this, Yang Dian could only devour heaven and earth treasures, heaven and earth artifacts, or the world's Origin through his innate ability, extracting the Origin energy within to nourish himself.

Or let the devouring ability run instinctively, devouring energy equivalent to his Soul strength every day as accumulation.

Then after this, he had more choices.

He could choose whether to turn off the devouring instinct.

Although turning off the devouring instinct was as useless to him as a Mortal forcibly stopping breathing, there was no denying that this was a manifestation of improved control.

Can an ordinary person forcibly control themselves not to breathe?

After holding it until it's uncomfortable, it's impossible to do.

Besides this, the devouring ability had also been greatly enhanced.

He could actively push his Soul to enhance that devouring ability.

Although Yang Dian still didn't know where the devouring ability was, or what it was devouring to give him energy that could enhance himself.

But he knew he could consume Soul Power to enhance his devouring ability, allowing him to obtain three times the amount of energy every day.

Don't underestimate this number three.

His current Soul strength was 863,000, and three times more meant that the amount of energy he could obtain every day was 3,452,000.

Although he needed to use some energy to soothe the fatigue of his Soul driving the devouring ability, the energy he could save every day was at least 3,000,000, which was more than twice as much as before.

Isn't this a huge improvement?

What's more, before he couldn't control the devouring ability at all, he could only let it run instinctively.

Now it could be turned off, turned on, and accelerated; it could be called the first step of a ten-thousand-mile march.

This was a Breakthrough from 0 to 1.

Since there was a one, would one hundred, or even ten thousand be far off?

In a trance, Yang Dian seemed to see a picture of himself waving his hand to create a black hole and devouring everything in the future.

'So...'

'Before that, should I eat a fox for a snack?'

On the second floor of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Hu Li looked at Yang Dian's thoughtful eyes and shivered suddenly.

Reaching out to rub the small bumps on her arm, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"The weather hasn't changed, so why do I suddenly feel a bit cold?"
