Chapter 46: Answering Disciples Question
Inside of the Golden Flame Sect.
He Yi Ming opened his eye and let out a long breath.
"Huff...I've finally recovered from my injuries! The Azure Emperor Immortal Physique was honestly broken, in such a short amount of time, not only did I heal from my injuries, but my body has become even stronger than before!" He Yi Ming felt the state of his body and nodded with satisfaction.
"Now...how should I deal with the Deep Sea King's Inner Core?" He Yi Ming took a fist-sized sphere out of his storage bag.
If he didn't have the system, especially without the Destiny Art Ruler Of Fortune, He Yi Ming will almost certainly refine this Inner Core into a High-Grade Spirit Enhancing Pill and used it to improve his own cultivation.
A High-Grade Spirit Enhancing pill will not only greatly improve his cultivation, but there was even a tiny chance of him breaking into the Peak of Spirit Realm in one fellow swoop!
But...
Remembering the players' contributions.
He Yi Ming pondered for a while and made up his mind.
With the Ruler of Fortune, it's only a matter of time before he breaks into the Peak of Spirit Realm, so he might as well refine this core into a few High-Grade Spirit Ascension pills!
As long as he waits until the spirit herbs mature, then he can refine them with the Deep Sea King's Inner Core as the core ingredients to have a high likely hood of creating a few High-Grade Spirit Ascension pills.
After all, there are many recipes for refining Spirit Ascension pill, and most of the ones that require a Foundation Realm being Inner Core are generally exclusive for High-Grade Spirit Ascension pill!
After all, it's not a joke that it takes 100 years to reach Foundation Realm. It's very difficult to kill a Foundation Realm being and it's even more difficult to obtain their core! Since most Foundation Realm beings will rather self-destruct than let their killer loot their corpse.
Making up his mind, He Yi Ming put away the Deep Sea King's Inner Core.
"Master? Are you here?" Suddenly, a player's voice sounded in the hall.
"I'm here!" He Yi Ming thought for a while and walked out of his chamber.
The person calling him was Luffy.
"What's the matter Luffy?" He Yi Ming smiled and asked with the attitude of a concerned senpai.
"I've...some question about cultivation and I want to ask Master for advice!" Luffy replied in a panic.
"Oh, tell me, what's your problem!"
"It's that!"
Luffy nodded and then started to reverse his Azure Emperor Immortal Physique cultivation technique.
"Zizzi!" Very quickly, blood mist fills the air and Luffy's body began to break down but at the same time, his aura becomes even stronger than before!
It's just that He Yi Ming knew that although Luffy attain power comparable to a Spirit Realm cultivator in the short term, in the end, his body will be destroyed in the process and he will be crippled for life.
"Master, I feel that reversing your cultivation technique has great potential! But every time I used it, the effect never reach my expectation! Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there a way I can solve it?" Luffy stop reversing his cultivation technique and looked at He Yi Ming with anticipation.
Luffy is not convinced!
He researched a way to reverse his Azure Emperor Immortal Physique cultivation technique and created Gear Second!
But the only result he attain was perfectly recreating the battle between Deep Sea King and Puri Puri Prisoner!
He was completely humiliated!
A new meme appeared on the forum and nicknamed him Puri Puri Luffy-chan!
F***!
That's why Luffy tried to find He Yi Ming in a hurry.
If a person of this world dared to do something like this, He Yi Ming would say they're crazy.
But if it is the player, so what if they're crippled? After they respawn, it's like they're fresh out of the womb!
"Naturally!" He Yi Ming smiled.
"The Azure Emperor Immortal Physique is one of the top ten strongest divine bodies!"
"Reversing all of your cultivation in one go will cause your body to collapse in an instant, and most of the power created is too chaotic for any use, the end result is little to no improvement to your power level!"
"It's better to..."
"Only reverse part of your cultivation at first, then after you get used to it, you can start to reverse more and more of it, gradually improving your limit!"
"This way, not only will the duration last longer, but the power you will receive at the end will far exceed the power you have right now!"
He Yi Ming calmly explains.
In terms of the understanding of Azure Emperor Immortal Physique, who in the world can compare with He Yi Ming who has perfectly mastered the technique?
"So what you're saying...is that it work similarly to the Eight Gates?"
"Ha?"
"Reversing part of your cultivation is equivalent to opening a gate? Master, I understood!"
"No, what I mean is..."
"Eight Gates, holy shit, I created the Eight Gates? Master pogger!"
"Wait, that's not what I'm talking about, it's..."
"Hahaha, I'm such a prodigy! Thank you, Master!"
"Alright, congratulation on you for creating the Eight Gates!"
....
He Yi Ming back down, there is no point in arguing with a chuunibyou...let him believe in whatever he wants to believe.
So as long as he is happy!
"Thank you, Master!" Luffy thanked and rushed out.
"Is Master here?" As soon as Luffy left, World Number One Ice Mage walked in.
"Huh? Is something wrong?" He Yi Ming asked curiously.
"Master, I've been researching frost spells for quite a while now...but in the previous battle, my combined attacks were completely useless! Could I really not defeat Deep Sea King with frost spells?" World Number One Ice Mage ask He Yi Ming as he was unable to accept this fact.
In the battle with Deep Sea King, the ultimate technique he created was completely useless.
How could World Number One Ice Mage simply accept this truth?
"Your cultivation is only at the Body Refinement Realm! But the Deep Sea King is at the Foundation Realm! The gap between your cultivation is what causes such a disparity!"
"But you could change your way of thinking about this!"
"A single stick is easily broken, but a bundle of sticks is unbreakable!"
"If you gather a few people, around a dozen or maybe even a hundred, and you all cast frost spell together!"
"Now that's a different story!"
...
He Yi Ming smiled.
Working together to cast a powerful spell is very common in this cultivation world.
In Heaven Academy, there were more than a dozen such methods. After He Yi Ming taught World Number One Ice Mage the simplest and easiest to use of them all, World Number One Ice Mage excitedly left.
"Master, are you free?" He Yi Ming had just sent off World Number One Ice Mage when Stardust came barreling in.
"So what's your problem?" He Yi Ming nodded.
"Master, in the previous battle, I knew what we had to do, but I wasn't able to communicate with the other players that well!"
"As a result, no matter what tactics or strats I planned, I wasn't able to communicate it to the other players in time!"
"Is there any way you can help me with this? Like a voice chat or something like that...what am I saying there is no way an NPC knows what I'm talking about...."
...
The more Stardust talk the less confident he became.
He Yi Ming was just an NPC, there is no use in talking to him about the missing game mechanics.
"Ah, I know what you mean!" He Yi Ming's eyes lit up.
