After Hu Liang and the rest were chased away, Lu Yang did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he chose a secluded place and continued to cultivate.
Although he had borrowed the Spirit Fruit's power to advance into The Psychic Realm, the Spirit Element contained within the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit had not been absorbed by him and was instead flowing within his body. If he was unable to refine it, the energy would dissipate along with time, wasting it.
Lu Yang sat cross-legged in the forest with his eyes closed. After he adjusted his breathing, a cultivation technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.
"Diamond Demon Subduing Scripture!"
Looking at those incomparably familiar words, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in his heart.
This was a Buddhist technique that he had cultivated in his previous life. Because he had devoted his entire life's effort into cultivating it, Lu Yang's grasp of this technique had reached a superb level.
Lu Yang started to circulate the Spirit Element in his body according to the technique, urging the medicinal power in his meridians to circulate through his veins. The Psychic Realm cultivators had not even opened their Spirit Spring, but the body's Spirit Element could only be stored with extremely limited amount of muscles.
But Lu Yang's movement was not purely to channel the Spirit Fruit's power into his body, but to use this power to temper his muscles and bones!
The Vajra Subduing Scripture was divided into two parts: the inner part and the outer part. The inner part cultivated the Arcane Demon Subduing Scripture, while the outer part cultivated the body of the Vajra Body!
Other than a few Body Refinement cultivators, most cultivators would only let their body absorb Spirit Element.
Although this would require more Spirit Element s, which would affect the speed at which the cultivator raised their cultivation, the strengthening of the body could increase the cultivator's battle prowess, giving the cultivator a huge advantage against opponents of the same level, and even allowing them to use this advantage to defeat opponents of higher cultivation!
The Spirit Element circulated for several days in his body before it finally exhausted all of its medicinal power. Lu Yang's body trembled uncontrollably, the medicinal power of the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit had actually been completely absorbed by him!
Generally speaking, cultivators would not be able to completely absorb the Spirit Element that had been absorbed into their body, the absorption rate would deviate a bit depending on their abilities, but with an average of about 50%, reaching 70% was already considered extremely outstanding, and over 80% could only be achieved by those blessed by the heavens …
But even with Lu Yang's mastery of the Spirit Element, he was actually able to reach a shockingly high mastery of a hundred per cent!
"Phew …"
Slowly exhaling a breath, Lu Yang opened his eyes and a faint golden light shone.
Although he had completely refined the effects of the Blood Vermilion Devil Fruit, he had only used about fifty percent of it to temper his body. Therefore, although the strength of his body had increased, the increase in his cultivation level was not obvious.
The ranking of cultivators started from The Psychic Realm, with Spiritual Spring Realm, Spirit Lake Realm, and so on. Each rank was further subdivided into the first, middle, and last stages.
Lu Yang was currently only at the early stage of The Psychic Realm. Although he had completely absorbed the Spirit Element from the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit, he was still a bit away from the middle stage.
Buzz! Buzz!
Just as Lu Yang finished his cultivation, his body suddenly released a buzzing sound.
With a thought, Lu Yang flipped his wrist, and a burst of golden coloured light and dust dispersed out from his body, slowly converging towards his palm. On top of his palm, a bunch of mysterious light engravings that seemed to be formed.
Buzz …
The light engravings converged and in the end, it transformed into an ancient-looking book.
On the back of the book were many engravings of profound and difficult to understand truths, which emitted a strange golden light.
"Devil Subduing Heavenly Book, you are still here."
Looking at the book that was quietly floating in his hand, Lu Yang spoke as if he was talking to an old friend that he had just reunited with after a long separation.
This was magical equipment that Lu Yang had obtained in his previous life, and it was also an extremely unique Buddhist artefact. The profound characters on it were all concealing secret incantations, and even the" Vajra Subduing Scripture" that Lu Yang had learned had been comprehended from within.
With a single thought, the ancient book opened, revealing a blank space inside.
There was not a single word inside the book!
"The Devil Subduing Record is still empty …"
Lu Yang nodded slightly.
The Devil Subduing Heavenly Book itself was a powerful magic tool, and the blank pages inside were also called "Devil Subduing Record". It was a special magic tool that could store Monster within!
And the length of the entire scroll was enough to contain eighty-one Magical Beast.
The level of Magical Beast that they could subdue was also restricted by Lu Yang's strength. If they could not overwhelm the other party in terms of strength, it would be very difficult to keep them in the records. But for those Magical Beast that was stronger than him, he could also think of ways to make them weaker so that he could subdue them.
"And the matter of the Dharma dissipating …"
Lu Yang frowned slightly.
In this life, he had no Buddhist memories at all. It should be said that in the world after his rebirth, the Buddhist sect no longer existed.
However, it was still too early for Lu Yang to investigate these things. His main mission right now was to raise his cultivation.
After figuring out all of these things, Lu Yang stood up and patted off the dust on his body.
He had been searching for the Spirit Fruit from home for a few days now, and it was time to go back.
"..."
Lu Family was not a big family in terms of size. Although it could not be compared to the top three powers, it was still one of the twenty powers that could freely conduct business approved by City Lord's Mansion. Thus, it could be considered as a position in the city.
"Young Master Lu Yang is back?"
As he walked through the Lu Family gate, Lu Yang saw respectful gazes from the servants.
He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled as if nothing had happened, nodded to the crowd, and left, completely ignoring the mocking looks on the servants' faces.
Lu Yang's father, Lu Zhan, did not have much status in the Lu Family. His own results were last in the family exam not long ago, so his elders' evaluation of him as not having any talent for cultivation made it even more impossible to get attention.
Furthermore, he had previously been annulled by the Ye Family and had even become the laughingstock of the entire Lu Family. Those servants who were adept at using the wind as the rudder would naturally not care about the face of such a useless young master …
When he returned to the side yard, he could faintly hear people chatting in the house.
"Yang Er is back?"
Just as Lu Yang walked in, a pale skinny middle-aged man in the room nodded his head slightly, then coughed twice, causing his face to look even more haggard.
"Father."
Lu Yang responded with a sound. He looked at Lu Zhan with a complicated gaze: Father's old injury...
"Master Chen is here too?"
Lu Yang's gaze moved to the other fat middle-aged man in the room.
This middle-aged man wore a luxurious robe with two golden Dan Wan s engraved on it. One could tell from the red light that he was someone who lived like a prince with an arrogant expression on his face.
"A Tier 2 alchemist from the Danchen Pavilion …"
Soon after, this person's information appeared in Lu Yang's mind.
This person was called Chen An. He was employed by the Danchen Pavilion and did not belong to any power. He was treated as a Tier 2 alchemist among the various powers. Although he could refine pills for the sect, the fee was quite high.
Lu Yang never had a good impression of this Master Chen, every time he came to the house, it would be because of his father's illness, and the pills Master Chen gave him were not only unable to completely cure his father's old illness but also required a large fee.
