Chapter 201 – The Five Viscera Devour Gold, Extreme Yang Blood, A Husband and Wife United Against Ghostly Foes - Part 3
The sudden rush of memories faded, leaving Li Yuan feeling as though he’d lived them himself. Upon reaching full mastery of the Five-Viscera Gold-Swallowing Art, he discovered that his body could now store ordinary toxins, letting them float like bubbles in his bloodstream.
This was reminiscent of his earlier experiences, when his beast taming skill had mutated at the final stage into a connection with birds. And now, though most levels of the Five-Viscera Gold-Swallowing Art merely strengthened his organs, its perfect culmination had morphed into something else, allowing him to hold small amounts of poison in his system.
At first glance, it seemed nearly useless, but who knew what the future would hold in store?
Setting those thoughts aside for now, Li Yuan headed to the cellar, retrieving 10 kg of sixth rank demonic beast meat. He lit a fire, boiled the meat in a large pot, then devoured every last morsel, broth included. Strengthened by the art, his organs compacted the dense mass of meat with ease; even after 10 kg, his stomach hardly bulged.
This was precisely what he wanted, continued compression of his shadow blood. Afterward, he resumed training.
By nightfall, he found another outlet for the excess energy surging within him—spending time with the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, two of them each evening.
In the end, he would still visit Xue Ning before bedtime. His blood coursed too powerfully, and he needed this method of release. Once their evening passed, he would listen to the latest news she had gathered.
“The demon hunters are open to working with us,” she reported one night. “They’re pleased the black market moved to Brighthold, makes it easier to transport live demonic beasts. But when we asked about visiting their territory, they refused...
“Meanwhile, word from up north via the Purejade Merchant Association says many taverns that initially didn’t want our goods have now started placing orders for Springdream Brew. That’s the good news.
“The bad news is...it’s a total mess out there.”
Each new detail only heightened Li Yuan’s sense of unease. He couldn’t help feeling that conflict might erupt in Gemhill County at any time.
