"Is it real or fake?" Wang Weilong looked at Ye Yiming with disbelief written all over his face.

Ye Yiming could understand if Wang Weilong believed he had learned some new tricks, but believing that Ye Yiming could refine pills? That was something Wang Weilong couldn't fathom.

Seeing Wang Weilong's continued disbelief, Ye Yiming took out the low-grade warrior pills he had refined yesterday. Because Ye Yiming had stored ten pills in the storage grid, Wang Weilong only saw the six worst low-grade warrior pills.

When Wang Weilong saw Ye Yiming take out the pills, especially warrior pills, although they were low-grade, they were identical to the ones in the Medicine Tower. Wang Weilong finally believed that Ye Yiming could indeed refine pills.

Wang Weilong was excited. Ever since he learned how to handle women, his father had restricted his spending, but expenses related to women were naturally higher. Therefore, when Ye Yiming expressed his intentions, Wang Weilong understood immediately.

"Haha, we're going to make a fortune! We're going to make a fortune!" In this aspect, both Wang Weilong and Ye Yiming were enthusiasts for wealth.

Seeing Wang Weilong finally believing that he could refine pills, Ye Yiming laid out his plan for the future. The two of them then started planning together. After an hour of discussion, Wang Weilong left the Duke's mansion in a hurry, holding the six low-grade warrior pills.

Once Wang Weilong left, Ye Yiming took out the peculiar alchemy furnace and began refining pills. However, he didn't immediately refine high-grade warrior pills. He decided to start with intermediate warrior pills before moving on to high-grade ones.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on successfully refining medicine! Obtained five intermediate warrior pills! Alchemy proficiency increased by 8 points."

"Haha, the intermediate alchemy skills are indeed impressive with an eighty percent success rate. I succeeded on my first attempt and even refined five pills at once. This is fantastic!" Ye Yiming exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the system prompt.

Intermediate Warrior Pill: Low-grade pill for human-level cultivation, consuming this pill can elevate one to an intermediate warrior level, gaining 173 cultivation points.

Ye Yiming was surprised to see that each pill contained 173 points. He immediately stored these five pills in the system's storage grid since there was nothing else left to absorb. His cultivation points had stopped at 243 points.

"System prompt: Five intermediate warrior pills discovered, totaling 865 cultivation points! Stored in the storage grid. Would the host like to use absorption technique to absorb the intermediate warrior pills?"

"Yes!" Ye Yiming confirmed, feeling delighted because his absorption skill proficiency had also reached 243 points. In four days, it would advance to the advanced level. With the cultivation points spent on advancing absorption skills, it might even reach the advanced level in two days.

Initially, Ye Yiming planned to use the skill points gifted by the system to upgrade his absorption technique. However, after realizing that he needed 1 skill point to activate alchemy skills, he decided to postpone using the remaining two skill points for now. It would be disappointing if he couldn't activate a skill due to a lack of points at a critical moment.

After some preparation, Ye Yiming continued his pill refining.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on successfully refining medicine! Obtained three intermediate warrior pills! Alchemy proficiency increased by 8 points."

"System prompt: Medicine refining failed. Alchemy proficiency increased by 1 point! Host, please continue your efforts!"

Success in refining medicine!

Failure in refining medicine!

Failure in refining medicine!

...

Successes and failures continued, but Ye Yiming persistently refined pills without realizing that lunchtime had passed. It was only when the system gave a sudden alert that he snapped out of his focus.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on successfully refining medicine! Triggered the mutation function for intermediate pills, obtained two mutated intermediate warrior pills! Alchemy proficiency increased by 20 points."

Mutated intermediate warrior pills? Ye Yiming was astonished and immediately checked the furnace.

Mutated Intermediate Warrior Pill: Low-grade pill for human-level cultivation, consuming this pill can elevate one to an intermediate warrior level, gaining 230 cultivation points. (Note: This mutated intermediate warrior pill has no side effects. After consumption, the host can gain 230 cultivation points at once!)

No side effects? Gaining 230 cultivation points at once? Incredible!

After reading the properties of these mutated intermediate warrior pills, especially the note, Ye Yiming couldn't help but marvel at their power. It was the first time he had seen a pill that granted cultivation points in one go!

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Without hesitation, Ye Yiming immediately consumed the two mutated intermediate warrior pills.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on consuming two mutated intermediate warrior pills. Cultivation points increased by 460."

With 460 points added to his existing cultivation points, Ye Yiming's cultivation points skyrocketed!

Host: Ye Yiming Cultivation: Low-level warrior Comprehension: 3 Spirit Roots: None Techniques: Basic Ten Thousand Laws (2/100) Equipment: Immortal Spirit Ring Items: None Skills: Intermediate Absorption Technique (251/1000); Basic Scanning Technique (33/100); Intermediate Alchemy Technique (Bound) (213/1000). Skill Points: 2 Cultivation Points: 710 Storage Grid: 1/10

Seeing his cultivation points reach 710, Ye Yiming couldn't help but smile happily.

It only took 100 cultivation points to advance from intermediate to intermediate warrior. If everything went well, reaching advanced level would require 1000 cultivation points. With 710 cultivation points, he was already close to becoming an advanced warrior.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yiming chose to consume 100 cultivation points to advance his cultivation. As his cultivation points dropped to 610, a delightful system prompt sounded.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on advancing to intermediate warrior level, consuming 100 cultivation points. After consuming 1000 cultivation points, you can upgrade to advanced warrior!"

Feeling his doubled strength, Ye Yiming couldn't contain his excitement and stood up. He jumped in place a few times, then practiced some moves in the air. Finally, he put his hands on his hips and laughed arrogantly, feeling like the number one in the world.

After laughing for a while, Ye Yiming suddenly remembered something and quickly went under the bed, pulling out an old wooden box. He opened it and took out a small booklet.

"Madness Decree"! What an imposing name!

This was a technique. As far as Ye Yiming remembered, his grandfather mentioned that it was a family legacy technique of the Ye family. When Ye Yiming was eight years old, his grandfather passed down this "Madness Decree" to him, but at that time, Ye Yiming had no interest in cultivating such a technique.

Therefore, this so-called family legacy technique had been buried under the bed for ten years. If not for the sudden flash of memories in Ye Yiming's mind, this "Madness Decree" might have remained buried under his bed.

The reason Ye Yiming took out this technique was that besides the Basic Ten Thousand Laws, he hadn't cultivated any other techniques yet, and this "Madness Decree" caught his eye.

Ye Yiming picked up the "Madness Decree" and casually used the Basic Scanning Technique on it. However, a surprising system prompt caught him off guard.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on successfully using the scanning technique. Basic Scanning Technique upgraded to Intermediate Scanning Technique!"

Upgraded...?

Since obtaining this Scanning Technique, Ye Yiming hadn't seen much use for it and hadn't spent cultivation points on it. Yet, even with just 33 proficiency points so far, Ye Yiming frequently used it. However, it progressed slowly.

Ye Yiming never expected that just scanning the "Madness Decree" would immediately upgrade the technique. How could he not be surprised?

What kind of technique was this "Madness Decree"?

Just as Ye Yiming was wondering, the system provided him with a shocking answer.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on discovering a divine-level technique, rewarded with 3 skill points to upgrade any skill by one level."

Madness Decree (Incomplete): Family legacy technique of the Ye family! Divine... Divine-level technique? Ye Yiming's mouth hung open in astonishment, enough to fit an egg. But the system prompt wasn't finished.

"System prompt: Since this technique is the first divine-level item discovered by the host, the system specially rewards its completion. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine-level technique 'Bloodthirsty Madness Decree'!"

Bloodthirsty Madness Decree: Divine-level technique. Created by the Ye family's ancestor, the Bloodthirsty Mad King Ye Kuangtian. This technique can only be cultivated by a few descendants of the Ye family with a bloodthirsty heritage. If non-bloodthirsty descendants of the Ye family cultivate it, they may become extremely bloodthirsty and have difficulty advancing in cultivation, or worse, experience a mutation in their bloodline, leading to a total cultivation loss. Non-bloodthirsty descendants of the Ye family who cultivate this technique will perish due to the clash of energies.

Bloodthirsty Mad King? This title alone indicated an extremely formidable figure! Did our Ye family ancestors produce such an extraordinary individual?

Then why didn't I have any memories of this aspect? Ye Yiming was bewildered!

"System prompt: Due to the host's lack of a bloodthirsty heritage, but due to the Basic Ten Thousand Laws, the host can still learn the Bloodthirsty Madness Decree technique. Would the host like to learn the Bloodthirsty Madness Decree technique?"

Learn! Of course, learn! This is a divine-level technique! Only a fool would not learn it! Ye Yiming was excited.

"System prompt: Congratulations, host, on successfully learning the Bloodthirsty Madness Decree technique, gaining the Bloodthirsty Heritage, and activating the innate skill Blood God Possession."

Basic Bloodthirsty Madness Decree (0/100): Divine-level technique, created by the Bloodthirsty Mad King Ye Kuangtian. When using this technique in combat, the current power can be doubled! Possesses the Blood Mad Seven Forms, currently capable of executing Blood Slash.

Blood Slash: Accumulate strength throughout the body and burst out multiplied strength in an instant.

Blood God Possession: Innate skill of Ye family members with the Bloodthirsty Heritage, awakened after practicing the Bloodthirsty Madness Decree. By consuming one's blood, a blood shadow forms behind, tapping into an inexplicable power. The power increases based on the amount of blood consumed. Consuming one-tenth of one's blood increases strength by three times. Lasts for an hour.

Looking at the blood shadow behind him, Ye Yiming sighed deeply. This was truly powerful!

Because this was Ye Yiming's first time activating the innate skill Blood God Possession, the blood shadow that manifested didn't require blood consumption.

However, what Ye Yiming didn't know was that at the moment he activated the innate skill Blood God Possession, at the exact moment the blood shadow formed behind him, a deep red light flashed in the position of the blood shadow's eyes. It blinked and returned to normal in an instant, without Ye Yiming noticing at all.

In a mysterious space filled with bloody aura, at the center of the space was a sea of blood, and within it stood a blood-red palace. At this moment, a thin red line crossed the sky of the blood-red space, directly shooting towards the blood-red palace in the sea of blood.

After a while, an old voice resonated from the blood-red palace, spreading throughout the entire mysterious blood-red space.

"Our clan has awakened an individual with the innate skill Blood God Possession, who has ended up in the far west. I am at a crucial stage of cultivation and cannot leave. Hurry and retrieve them; our clan's descendants with the bloodthirsty heritage are rare. We cannot afford any delays!"

After the old voice, the entire blood-red space immediately stirred.
