119: How come you suddenly look so much better?

"Really!"

Chu Yuan nodded with a smile, "I've seen the Sub-Secret Art of the Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Spirit Controlling Art, and I've also seen the Mother-Secret Art. What I Cultivate is a Secret Art that is even more complete and powerful than the Mother-Secret Art."

"As for Cultivation restrictions, there are naturally none. You can rest assured on that point."

Hearing this, Xiao Bai frowned tightly, "Are you so sure?"

Chu Yuan nodded, smiling slightly, "Since you've heard of this Secret Art, you should know its flaw, which is that it cannot enslave beings whose Realm is higher than your own."

"But what I'm Cultivating now can enslave beings whose Realm is higher than mine. If you don't believe me, you can help me catch a sixth-grade or even seventh-grade Ghostly Creature to try."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then still spoke, "It's not that I don't believe you; I'm concerned about your safety. If you were to be controlled by someone, then no one would look after me."

Saying that, she continued, "How about this, you find a place to stay, and I'll go catch one nearby for you to try!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "There's a cave not far ahead. I'll wait for you in that cave!"

"Alright!"

Xiao Bai glanced at the cave, then her figure instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan's figure flickered, and he rushed into the cave.

He directly killed a small Ghostly Creature in the cave, threw down a concealing Formation Plate, and then entered the primal origin space.

He had to seize this opportunity well.

There were quite a few things he needed to do this time in the primal origin space, so he needed to hurry.

Chu Yuan didn't hesitate at all, directly using the Demon Taming Jade Slip to obtain the Demon Taming Secret Art.

Afterward, he looked at the attribute light screen.

Below the 'Spirit Skill' column, an attribute had been added:

"Secret Art: Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art (Beginner), Demon Taming Secret Art (Not yet entered)"

Seeing this, Chu Yuan was delighted.

"Time is short, the task is heavy, and there are quite a few things that need to be strengthened."

"Alchemy skills and the two Spirit Skills can be put aside for now; first, I'll strengthen the Spirit Controlling Art and the Demon Taming Secret Art."

As the strengthening began, Chu Yuan felt a surge of insights rapidly welling up in his mind, then quickly integrating into his body.

Before long.

He had also strengthened the two Secret Arts to the Realm of Perfection, allowing him to fully master them.

And after reaching Perfection, Chu Yuan could feel that two mysterious and ancient talisman seals seemed to have appeared in his mind.

It was as if with a thought, he could quickly and perfectly condense Spirit Controlling and Demon Taming Runes.

Implanting these two Runes into the Divine Soul of the enslaved would signify successful enslavement.

Moreover, compared to before Perfection, the Runes empowered by the talisman seals would be even more terrifying.

If not perfected, one would need to implant Runes into the enslaved periodically to reinforce the enslavement.

But now, once the Runes were successfully imprinted into the opponent's Divine Soul, Chu Yuan could enslave them indefinitely, even if he never reinforced it.

How to put it, it seemed even more terrifying than a master-servant contract!

Furthermore, these two Secret Arts could enslave beings as long as they didn't exceed Chu Yuan by three major Realms.

Simply put, Chu Yuan was currently at Spirit Crystal Realm Perfection, equivalent to fifth-grade Perfection.

Theoretically, he could enslave beings at eighth-grade Perfection and below.

Of course, this was only theoretical, as an eighth-grade expert could kill him with a single thought, so how would he get the chance?

"Spirit Controlling mainly targets Ghostly Creatures, and Demon Taming mainly targets Yao Beasts. What about the Demon Race and Essence Spirits? Are there corresponding Secret Arts for them?"

Chu Yuan muttered thoughtfully but didn't dwell on it, beginning to strengthen other things.

"Sword Control Technique is for escaping and preserving life, so I'll strengthen it first, followed by Alchemy skills and the Spirit Skill Flowing Cloud Slash..."

Chu Yuan said, without any delay, activating the strengthening, his body rapidly absorbing and integrating.

Soon, the Sword Control Technique also reached Perfection.

He even changed the strengthening direction, directly elevating the Sword Control Technique to Heaven-Grade.

Now, his speed with the Sword Control Technique was more than ten times faster than before.

And feats like taking an enemy general's head from a thousand miles away with a sword were naturally effortless.

Chu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, continuing to strengthen his Alchemy skills.

In an instant, countless memories surged in, merging into his body.

There were memories of before seventh-grade, and also of seventh-grade.

Although his current Soul strength was not yet sufficient to refine seventh-grade Medicinal Pills, the primal divine crystal was just that overbearing.

Simply because Chu Yuan had learned about seventh-grade Alchemy before, it helped him fully comprehend it.

He even felt as if he had spent decades or even a century immersed in the refinement of those ten types of seventh-grade Medicinal Pills.

Now, as long as his Soul strength was sufficient to handle those Spirit Medicines, he could immediately become a seventh-grade Alchemist.

As for those below seventh-grade, he had fully comprehended them all and corrected many previous errors.

He had a premonition that he could now refine special-grade Medicinal Pills.

Moreover, when strengthening his skills, the primal divine crystal even thoughtfully helped him strengthen his Pill Fire.

Now, the intensity of his Pill Fire had also reached the sixth-grade level.

And he had a feeling that as long as his Soul strength was sufficient, he could condense seventh-grade Pill Fire at any time.

Chu Yuan smiled knowingly, continuing to strengthen the Spirit Skill Flowing Cloud Slash.

At the same time, he glanced at his Comprehension Ability, gritted his teeth, and began to replicate and strengthen it.

Just as he had strengthened the Spirit Skill Flowing Cloud Slash to Perfection, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and quickly exited the primal origin space.

And in that instant, ripples appeared in the space before him, and Xiao Bai appeared in front of him.

Chu Yuan thought to himself: That was close!

"Chu Yuan, I'm back."

Xiao Bai stood gracefully before him, her two small fists loosely clenched.

"Xiao Bai, you caught it so quickly..."

Before Chu Yuan could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Bai suddenly lean in, exclaiming in surprise, "Chu Yuan, why do you suddenly look so much better?"

"Better?" Chu Yuan blinked, then smiled and said, "My Xiao Bai can even compliment people now?!"

"It's true!"

Xiao Bai seriously observed Chu Yuan, thoughtfully saying, "Your figure and appearance haven't changed, but you seem to have a special aura that makes me feel very close to you."

"I just have a feeling that you're more handsome and charismatic than before."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Xiao Bai wouldn't speak without reason; could there really be a change in him?

He remained calm on the surface, sending a wisp of consciousness into the primal origin space, intending to check for changes through the attribute light screen.

Soon, he was startled.

In addition to his replicated and strengthened Comprehension Ability reaching Heaven-Grade 89, his Charm had actually increased from 83 to 91.

"What's going on? I didn't strengthen Charm!"

Chu Yuan was secretly surprised, somewhat unable to figure it out at the moment.

At this time, Xiao Bai asked curiously, "Chu Yuan, what did you just do?"

Chu Yuan remained calm, scratched his head, and said in confusion, "I didn't do anything, just Cultivated the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art again."

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, feeling as if he had vaguely grasped something.

He looked at Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, I seemed to have an Epiphany just now, and I feel I understand the Spirit Controlling Art more deeply."

"Also, I feel like there's an extra talisman seal in my mind. Do you want to see it?"

Saying that, he used the Chu Yuan divine crystal to conceal the existence of the Demon Taming Rune.

Hearing this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but widen her eyes, "What did you say? talisman seal?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Chu Yuan asked in confusion. Why did Xiao Bai's reaction seem so strong?
