[Item: Bear Gallbladder Power Pill]

[Purpose: Removes excess fat, strengthens muscles, increases strength, and improves blood and flesh. It can cultivate powerful and resilient flesh.]

[Spell Talisman: Divine Oath Talisman]

[A talisman of Taoist magic, invoking a divine oath to form a contract with otherworldly beings. It can be used to form agreements with spirits and deities and can be combined with other contract-based Taoist techniques.]

[Taoist Seed: Night Sleep Curse]

[A Taoist seed that, when nurtured, will eventually bear the Night Sleep Curse fruit. Consuming it will allow the user to learn the Night Sleep Curse.]

The rewards for Han's stamina from chopping trees were impressive—two helpful training pills, a talisman, and a Taoist seed. He was satisfied with these outcomes.

Speaking of Taoist seeds, Han's Golden Light Charm Taoist seed, previously planted in Soul Town, had almost ripened—just a few more hours, perhaps.

The Pure Heaven God Curse Taoist fruit was at the flowering stage, close to being ready for harvest as well.

Without hesitation, Han also planted the Night Sleep Curse Taoist seed, nurturing it with his spiritual energy.

He still had three points of stamina remaining, so he didn't hesitate—he used it, and six items fell from the tree.

Among them were two spiritual plants and one Soul Plant.

Soul Plants were much rarer than spiritual plants. Han had only collected two before this one.

The remaining three items were:

[Rare Item: Meditation Stone]

[A heavenly item. When meditating on it, one’s mind becomes clear, free from distractions. It aids in resisting mental demons.]

[Near-Martial Weapon: Wind-chaser Boots]

[Greatly enhances the user’s movement speed and improves agility. These were meant to be martial boots but were damaged during forging by lightning strikes, making them near-martial instead.]

[Material: Sky-Blue Gold Liquid]

[Primary material for crafting martial weapons. The Sky-Blue Gold Liquid is most compatible with Silver Essence.]

A rare item, a near-martial weapon, and a crafting material—none of them were ordinary.

The Meditation Stone, which helps with both training and resisting mental demons, was a highly valuable find. Although Han had never encountered a mental demon, he knew this ability would be beneficial, just in case.

The near-martial weapon was certainly useful, especially a pair of boots that could enhance both speed and combat effectiveness.

As for the Sky-Blue Gold Liquid… it seemed fate had a hand in it. Han had already obtained the Silver Essence, the perfect match for this material. If he could find a skilled blacksmith, these two materials could be forged into a powerful weapon.

However, he had already asked around and learned that only Tianyue County had such a skilled blacksmith.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Han wondered if the great Celestial Tree would drop a blacksmith as well.

If given the chance, he was determined to visit Tianyue County.

He stored the items he didn't need for now and undressed, preparing to apply the Vajra Essence to himself.

As he began applying it, Han hesitated for a moment.

Did he really need to cover every inch of his body?

After reading the description of the pill, he decided to proceed. What if missing a spot made the effect incomplete?

When it comes to tempering the body, every part counts!

After finishing the application of the substance that resembled ghee, he consumed the Bear Gallbladder Power Pill and began practicing his martial arts techniques, eager to test the effects of the two items.

It was the twelfth day of his martial arts training, and he was now highly skilled in the technique of the Heavenly Bull Demon Form.

Every move exuded strength, embodying the spirit of the Heavenly Bull Demon.

"Sometimes, when I fight, I feel this overwhelming frenzy, as if a demon bull has awakened within me…"

"I wonder if the Heavenly Bull Demon is a real creature…"

Wait a minute!

Han suddenly remembered his ability—his Transformation Trait!

Could he try to transform his soul into a Heavenly Bull Demon?

What would happen if he let the spirit of the Heavenly Bull Demon control his body and practice the Heavenly Bull Demon Fist?

Excited, Han immediately activated his Transformation Trait, using the Heavenly Bull Demon Form as a medium, aiming to change his soul.

And it worked!

His soul separated from his body, but instead of a human form, he was now a small black bull.

The bull’s fur was a deep black, with a dark aura flowing through it. Its skin was thick and firm, and its curved horns resembled sharp swords pointing toward the sky.

"Is this the Heavenly Bull Demon?" Han wondered.

The bull demon's soul returned to his body, and he began to practice his martial technique.

It was incredibly smooth—too smooth!

This practice felt effortless, and there was a fundamental shift compared to before.

At this moment, Han could feel that the technique had reached a divine level.

If anyone were to witness Han’s movements now, they might think he was not a man at all, but rather a Heavenly Bull Demon charging forward with unstoppable force!

Inside, Han felt the power of the Heavenly Bull Demon awakening, mastering the essence of this martial art.

Even the original creator of this technique likely never imagined that a soul from a Heavenly Bull Demon would possess a human body to practice it.

His flesh swelled, his internal energy boiled, and faint sounds of a bull demon’s roar echoed within him.

Hot air rose from his skin, and his body temperature increased. The effects of the pills, combined with his cultivated inner energy, were absorbed and refined rapidly during the practice.

Time passed without Han feeling any fatigue. He repeated the Heavenly Bull Demon Form again and again, finding what he believed to be the true way to practice the technique.

“Moo!”

Suddenly, Han paused in place.

His flesh trembled, and something seemed to move beneath the surface. Then, everything went still.

“Boom!”

An invisible wave of energy exploded from his body with a deafening sound. His body seemed to reverberate with every pulse of energy.

Han threw a punch, and the sound was so sharp and piercing that it could shatter the eardrums of ordinary people!

“Hah!”

Han relaxed, exhaling a breath as his body gradually returned to normal.

His skin shone with a radiant glow, his muscles were full and strong, radiating vitality. Under his control, the glow slowly faded, but his body still felt infused with incredible power.

His skin gleamed, his muscles were full of life energy—this meant that Han had reached the pinnacle of body refinement!

Half a day to reach the first stage, seven days for minor progress, and now, five more days to reach the final stage!

Such an achievement was truly extraordinary.

Though, it was perhaps a local marvel in Black Cloud Town.

The outside world was still vast, and Han was cautious about his limits.

“With my current physical strength, I should be on par with a Qi Meridian Realm warrior. As for the energy within me, it’s still inner energy, but given the strength of my body and the inner energy refined from my martial techniques, I wonder how it compares to true Qi?”

“And I think I’ve finally found the real way to practice the Heavenly Bull Demon Form…”

Han clenched his fist and felt the rush of strength and power surge within him.

He was determined—nothing could stand in his way in this cold, cruel world where only his own strength could bring him warmth.

Well, that is, aside from his senior sister.
