176: Incomplete Dan Shi

Everyone present, especially those from the Tang Clan, had an expression of disbelief.

Tang Wenlong: Do you even hear what you're saying?

Tang Tingting: When you say that, it sounds like the entire Tang Clan is useless!

Tang Miaoxing also frowned.

Pill Devour has always had only two outcomes: either successfully condensing Pill Devour and living, or failing to condense Pill Devour and dying.

If Lin Yuan hadn't just helped him so much, he really would have wanted to throw this kid out.

Pill Devour is not like other Cultivation Techniques where those with insufficient Aptitude can only master a little.

There is no such thing as ' 入門' (entry-level) for Pill Devour; you either master it and condense it, or you cannot master it at all.

If someone else had said this, Zhang Wang would have immediately scoffed, 'Do you think Pill Devour is like rotten cabbage nobody wants on the roadside?'

Tang Miaoxing, however, was pondering this possibility.

To be honest, he really couldn't imagine it.

Is Pill Devour really that simple?

When Tang Miaoxing was condensing Pill Devour earlier, Lin Yuan had witnessed the entire process.

He was extremely clear about the whole process of Pill Devour, but using the orthodox method to inherit Pill Devour, Lin Yuan probably couldn't do it.

However, simulating the structure of Pill Devour with Qi and creating one, Lin Yuan could indeed do.

Lin Yuan then mobilized the Qi within him, and a ball of Qi immediately formed in his hand.

Then, everyone watched as the white ball of Qi began to change, and then a subtle aura suddenly appeared.

Tang Miaoxing and Xu Xin immediately showed expressions of shock.

That's right!!!

It's Pill Devour! It really is Pill Devour!

Not only did Lin Yuan condense one, but in the next second, a large number of small air bubbles floated from his hand.

Zhang Chulan immediately circulated Qi to observe Lin Yuan's palm, and sure enough, he saw bubbles appearing on Lin Yuan's hand.

Each bubble contained an astonishing amount of Qi.

Wang Zhenqiu also looked at the bubbles with admiration.

"Indeed, I wasn't wrong. Immortal Master Lin Yuan really did learn Pill Devour just now, he just couldn't be bothered to condense it."

Wang Zhenqiu took a deep breath; he couldn't see the Pill Devour, but he could sense the extremely formidable aura emanating from Lin Yuan's hand.

"This... this... this..."

Xu Xin stood frozen, speechless for a moment.

Tang Miaoxing murmured, "Is Pill Devour really that simple?"

All the Inner Sect Disciples of the Tang Clan successively showed expressions of shock.

"Pill Devour!!! It really is Pill Devour! This aura! That's right! It's it!!!"

Zhang Wang truly couldn't figure out how Lin Yuan had managed to condense this Pill Devour.

Had he secretly studied Pill Devour before?

No, this kid hadn't interacted with anyone from the Tang Clan; where would he have gotten the Pill Devour diagram?

How old was he? And he could already see through life and death?

Zhang Wang had lived to this age, and he still couldn't see through life and death.

At this moment, Xu Xin noticed a slight abnormality.

"Wait a minute!!! This is Pill Devour, but it's not Pill Devour!!!"

He could clearly sense that this Pill Devour was somewhat different from the Tang Clan's Pill Devour.

But if you asked him where it was different, he couldn't say.

After a long while, Tang Miaoxing finally discovered the abnormality.

"Xu Xin's guess is correct. There is indeed a hint of missing insight into life and death within it. His Pill Devour might have some discount in terms of condensing speed and power."

...Lin Yuan nodded.

"That's right, I merely simulated it purely with my Qi. Compared to yours, mine is somewhat lacking a Soul."

"Because your Pill Devour has experienced life and death, it all contains a trace of life and death power. This power intensifies Pill Devour's damage to the Meridians."

"Pill Devour without this trace of life and death power might extend the time before a person suddenly dies by ten or so seconds, specifically varying from person to person."

A glint of fervor flashed in Tang Miaoxing's eyes.

Lin Yuan had completely modified Pill Devour, creating a 'castrated' version of it.

This kind of Pill Devour had a very small cost; at the very least, no one had to die anymore.

After all, once Pill Devour hits, three minutes or five minutes makes no difference; once activated, it's basically unsolvable.

Lin Yuan also knew about this flaw in his Pill Devour.

This was very normal; if a complete Pill Devour could be simulated, then the Tang Clan's Pill Devour wouldn't have caused so many deaths.

For Lin Yuan, Pill Devour was just a minor trick; he had other, better methods.

Now Lin Yuan had an idea: since the current Pill Devour can increase life and death power and enhance its explosive force.

What if he infused other powers of heaven and earth into Pill Devour? Would that provide his own enhancement?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately began to fuse the power of heaven and earth.

Pill Devour immediately changed shape; it began to slowly expand, then the energy within it began to rapidly rotate and spiral, constantly emitting streaks of white light.

Tang Miaoxing was immediately shocked as he watched the changing Pill Devour.

Since when did Pill Devour become a toy? Play with it however you want?

Is this what it means to have high Comprehension Ability, to freely improvise?

What kind of monster is this, after all!

Zhang Wang, Tang Miaoxing, and Xu Xin watched Lin Yuan play with Pill Devour as if it were a toy, and it made their scalps tingle.

This was like someone holding a grenade, and now Lin Yuan wanted to increase the grenade's destructive range by continuously adding things like nails and broken glass to it.

The most important thing was that after adding them, it could still be used normally. Isn't that ridiculous?

Lin Yuan's actions completely subverted their understanding.

So this was what a true Prodigy-level Genius was.

Normal Geniuses were perhaps just his admission ticket.

Tang Miaoxing looked at Lin Yuan, who was playing with great enjoyment, and immediately cupped his hands.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan, I am truly enlightened today. Your talent and Comprehension Ability are unprecedented in history, with no one before or after you!"

"The Tang Clan's Legacy to this day has not achieved such improvements as yours..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"I'm just taking shortcuts; it's hardly presentable."

Tang Miaoxing gave a wry smile.

He worried every day about how to inherit Pill Devour, and he had never imagined that someone could simulate Pill Devour and develop a 'castrated' version of it.

It only had a little less explosive power, but the toxicity was still there. As long as people didn't die, then the Tang Clan could now undergo a complete revolution!

Imagine, when most of the Tang Clan's Disciples mastered Pill Devour, how terrifying their existence would be then.

Perhaps then, the Tang Clan could truly restore its former glory!

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Miaoxing couldn't help but get excited.

But he quickly calmed down again. Using Qi to simulate Pill Devour, the difficulty probably wasn't low either.

Lin Yuan could easily condense it because of his high Comprehension Ability and strong power, but other Disciples might not be able to do it...
