Chapter 226 - 226: Just Deduce the Entire Closed-loop World
“Sovereign Su, what you’re saying makes sense, but none of us have undergone body refinement…”
“These avatars also lack the power for body refinement.”
“Even if we want to use this method now, we have to wait until the next time we come in to give the avatars a bit of body-refining power.”
Su Yang’s words opened up the minds of Cao Tianle and the others, making them realize that this is indeed a viable solution. However, as they themselves said, they would have to wait until the next time to use this method.
“No problem. My avatar possesses the power of body refinement. You don’t need to go through the trouble of setting traps. Let me handle it.”
“Good.”
Su Yang also understood that these beings who have reached this realm of cultivation have no idea how long they have been practicing cultivation. Moreover, from the beginning, they must have had extremely high talent to reach this stage. Therefore, why would they touch the power of body refinement?
Next, Cao Tianle had someone lure a tiger out of its den. If it were placed before, they would have to lure the tiger to the location of the trap. But now they lured it to an open area and let Su Yang deal with it.
The whole process was not difficult, and Su Yang easily dispatched the tiger with a hatchet.
Although their abilities were restricted, their reaction and consciousness, two abilities that were of great help in battle, were not limited.
After successfully dealing with the tiger, they found a vitality grass growing in the crack of the cave’s wall.
After retrieving the vitality grass, Cao Tianle was about to lead everyone away.
Su Yang looked at the tiger’s corpse and asked, “Can this tiger’s corpse bring us any help?”
Cao Tianle shook his head and said, “It can’t bring any help. This is just an ordinary tiger, at most, it can be sold for some silver in the mortal world. But now, in this closed-loop world, we can only move around Liu Family Village and Bai Mang Mountain. Naturally, it’s not very useful for us.”
Although Cao Tianle said this, Su Yang saw a thread of karma on the tiger’s body.
The existence of karma threads means it’s related to the world’s upheaval.
The corpse of this tiger definitely has a purpose they don’t know about.
Bring the corpse of this tiger with us; I have a feeling it might be useful, though we haven’t discovered it yet.”
Since this thing might be useful, Su Yang naturally wouldn’t let it go to waste and asked Cao Tianle and the others to take it along.
Cao Tianle didn’t reject this request either. Maybe it does have some use; although they brought it back once before, it was only for the injured old
Daoist to examine. After he deemed it useless, they had ignored the tiger’s corpse.
In hindsight, they might indeed have missed something significant.
This is also a flaw they have at this level. Even if they don’t look down on mundane things, they unconsciously overlook or deem things useless because of their high cultivation.
Su Yang, on the other hand, is different from them. His growth has been rapid, and he can clearly discern the utility of each thing. He doesn’t label something as useless just because someone else says so.
Of course, the most crucial factor is Su Yang’s help from the karma thread, which enables him to see clearly that the tiger’s corpse must be useful.
On the way back, Su Yang also asked if they had explored the entire village.
Cao Tianle replied that they did at first, but after rescuing the injured old Daoist, they didn’t explore the village much. They had already done a thorough search and found nothing special.
Su Yang didn’t say much after hearing this, but he was aware that Cao Tianle and the others’ approach was definitely wrong. Although the injured old Daoist is one of the key points in the upheaval, he’s not the only one. There are at least four more karma threads in the village.
They soon returned to the village with the vitality grass and the tiger’s corpse.
As they didn’t know the tiger’s corpse’s purpose at the time, Su Yang had them place it in his courtyard. He took the vitality grass and returned to the old Daoist.
The injured old Daoist was extremely excited upon seeing everyone return with the vitality grass.
He sat up from the bed.
After taking the vitality grass, he began to refine it. In just a short moment, his injuries improved significantly, and his complexion turned ruddy.
Though it was better compared to his previous ashen state, his injuries were still very severe.
The injured old Daoist kept his promise as well. After everyone brought back the vitality grass, he took out seven Qi Refining Pills from his pocket.
“Since I was injured by a demon, according to my observations, that demon intends to devour the entire Liu Family Village. I managed to repel it last night, but it will strike again tonight.”
“I can’t just stand by and watch the village get massacred by the demon.
However, with my current strength, I’m no match for it.”
“These are seven Qi Refining Pills. After you take them, you will gain the cultivation level of the first layer of Qi Refining. But that’s not enough.”
“At your current strength, it’s not sufficient. If you can go to Bai Mang
Mountain, hunt down the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon hiding in the Wild Boar Forest, and bring back its heart blood along with a demon core, I can concoct a potion to enhance your strength..”
