Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 942 Meditation

"Hmm... let me think about it some more..." Ding Hui withdrew her icy fingertips, crossed her arms, and fell into deep thought, her eyes sparkling with a defiant light.

Failure? For her, there are only unsolved technical problems!
Fang Yu now fully understood Ding Hui's meaning.

The medicine wasn't weak; it just didn't hit the "point" that his specific "receptor" was expected to reach!

But another key point caught his eye even more!
"Wait!" Fang Yu's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement. "You mean, with this kind of effect... you can brew many more bowls of 'purely nourishing' medicinal soup? And... you still have enough ingredients?"

Ding Hui raised her head and glanced at him sideways as if he were an idiot: "Otherwise what? When I said 'huge losses' before, I meant that the auxiliary materials were precious and the medicine making process was complicated. But you gave me more than one Abomination Fruit! Did you expect me to only extract a bowl of fruit essence and make only this small bowl of soup?"

Her eyes clearly said, 'Do you even have a brain?'

"The remaining fruit essence and the auxiliary materials I prepared still have great potential! It's just that we need to redesign the ratio of the medicinal guide to suit your 'special case'!"

Fang Yu: "..."

Well, he always thought that the more precious the medicinal materials, the more concentrated the refining process, and the less essence there was.

His understanding of the intricacies of pharmacology was indeed far from sufficient.

But he knew that as long as the quantity could be increased!
Even if there is a problem of diminishing efficacy due to drug resistance, there are still enough experience points to gain!
What’s more important is!
According to Ding Hui's analysis, the poor effect of the first version was purely because the medicine failed to properly trigger his physical potential, not because the Aversion Fruit was not strong enough!
As long as Ding Hui can overcome this technical challenge, the optimized version will surely have a qualitative leap in efficacy!

The attribute points that can be provided will certainly far exceed those currently available!
Therefore, with the fruit of hatred in hand and Ding Hui by my side, all problems are no longer a worry!
A glint flashed in Fang Yu's eyes as he looked at Ding Hui as if she were a glittering mountain of gold and silver.

As for what Linghu Xiang just saw... such trivial matters are not important for now.

Fang Yu stood at the entrance of the pharmacy, watching Ding Hui busy inside, and couldn't help but ask again, "Ding Hui, how long will it take to prepare this improved herbal soup?"

Ding Hui was tidying up the piles of high-quality medicinal herbs on the table, which were neatly categorized and stacked up. Upon hearing this, she stopped and tilted her head slightly to think for a moment.

Her eyes sparkled, and her delicate face held the focused expression characteristic of a physician: "It is indeed extremely difficult to create something from nothing, but..."

Then, Ding Hui pointed to the various medicinal herbs around her that had already been carefully processed and categorized.

"This time, we improved and prepared the decoction based on the finished product, which saved a lot of work in testing the properties of the medicinal materials and basic processing. It actually doesn't take much time."

She looked up at Fang Yu, her tone light and firm: "If you need it urgently, husband, just wait for me for half an hour!"

These medicinal herbs were all carefully prepared by Ding Hui, accumulated little by little, in batches. It can be said that she was well-prepared to deal with any adjustments or situations at any time.

Fang Yu knew perfectly well that Ding Hui might be careless or negligent in other matters, but when it came to pharmaceuticals, she was meticulous and thorough in her preparations, leaving no room for error.

No matter what happens, she always has a backup plan and can handle it with ease.

This is her pride, and also her habit.

"Half an hour? That fast?"

Fang Yu raised his voice slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

He originally thought it would take at least half a day.

If it only takes half an hour, he doesn't need to linger elsewhere; he can wait here.

With the thought in mind, Fang Yu simply walked into the pharmacy and said with a hint of ingratiation, "Then... I can help you out a bit? I can even hand you some medicinal herbs!"

However, instead of Ding Hui's enthusiastic agreement, he was greeted by Ding Hui's pretty face, which turned slightly to him with a mysterious and teasing smile. The smile contained both confidence and a hint of barely perceptible "disdain".

“My dear husband,” Ding Hui’s voice was sweet, but her words were like a thorn.

"You'd better just stay here and wait at the door. If I really need your help..."

She paused, then smiled more broadly: "What I did in half an hour might take an hour or two and still not be finished."

"..." Fang Yu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he muttered to himself, "What kind of talk is that..."

He naturally understood that Ding Hui did not intend to antagonize him.

In the past, he had indeed been able to help Ding Hui with some miscellaneous tasks.

But without exception, all of those occurred when Ding Hui was relatively free and at a relaxed pace.

Once Ding Hui truly enters a focused and efficient state of alchemy, her movements so fast that they leave only afterimages, and all steps operate seamlessly like the gears of a precise clock, Fang Yu is like a clumsy outsider barging into the workshop of a top craftsman. He simply cannot insert even half a hand into that tight and efficient process, and may even disrupt her mind and rhythm.

Therefore, the unspoken meaning behind Ding Hui's words was quite straightforward.

She's about to enter full-on "professional mode".

Ding Hui is in a state where she cannot tolerate any interference. If Fang Yu tries to keep her here, not only will he not be able to help, but he will also slow down the progress and may even make mistakes.

This is her domain, her battlefield.

Fang Yu had no room for maneuver in this matter, otherwise he would only cause trouble for Ding Hui.

However, Fang Yu then remembered another thing he had brought back.

"By the way, Ding Hui, that Tree of Hatred..."

"Oh, that big guy?"

Ding Hui had already begun processing several medicinal herbs at a rapid pace, responding without even looking up.

"My initial idea was to cut it up and try growing it in a pot to see if it could continue to bear fruit."

"However, after careful examination and consulting ancient texts, I discovered that the roots and veins of the Abomination Tree contain essential nutrients that are easily released, making direct harvesting for medicinal use far more effective than the time-consuming and laborious process of cultivation."

"Do we really have to wait for it to be successfully cultivated, take root, and bear fruit? That would require a long period of nurturing, and we don't know when we might see any results."

Her hands moved extremely quickly, yet her explanations were clear and logical.

"So I only kept a small, vital branch, sealed it with a secret method, and tried to cultivate it, just to keep it as a memento. The rest will be used in the medicinal soup later."

After Ding Hui finished speaking, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Fang Yu, her hair swaying gently: "As for now... that Abomination Tree is still soaking in a special medicinal liquid, and it needs time to remove its turbidity and stimulate its pure power. Once it's processed and the medicinal power has truly blended and harmonized, I will naturally prepare it for my husband to take."

Fang Yu understood.

With both the Aversion Fruit and the Aversion Tree... it seems that most of the important gains from this trip to the main family will ultimately be swallowed up by him.

He nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui suddenly stopped what she was doing and winked at Fang Yu.

"Since you feel I've worked so hard, you must make it up to me afterwards, my husband..." Fang Yu's expression froze.

They even let her examine their bodies so casually, what compensation do they want...?

While repeatedly agreeing, Fang Yu hurriedly left the pharmacy under Ding Hui's cunning gaze.

The door had just been pulled shut, not even fully closed, when Ding Hui's increasingly urgent and crisp sounds came from inside.

The rustling sound of medicinal herbs being added to the furnace, the slight crisp sound of utensils colliding, the bubbling sound of boiling liquid, and a rich and unique medicinal aroma were faintly wafting out.

Fang Yu understood.

Once Ding Hui fully immerses herself in alchemy, she enters a state of complete absorption, focusing her mind and becoming oblivious to everything else.

That focus and efficiency were something he could never match.

After finding a spot at the entrance of the pharmacy, Fang Yu decided to sit cross-legged on the ground.

He was not worried about Ding Hui's safety; the mansion was impregnable.

The most important thing right now is to digest the newly acquired cultivation technique—the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra!
Fang Yu was only one top-tier cultivation technique away from breaking through to the realm of the Wise Soul.

His previous target was the [Big Kun Belly], which he used as the foundation for advancing to the final level.

However, the Pure Sun Heart Sutra obtained from Master Qian was undoubtedly a better and more suitable choice!

It originates from the same lineage and is essentially of the same source as its foundation, the Qi Gathering Technique, making the transition almost seamless.

He closed his eyes and held his breath.

In an instant, a massive torrent of information surged through my mind.

That was not a cold, written record, but rather all of Master Qian's insights and experiences from his lifelong cultivation of the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra, his breakthroughs in key points, and the most subtle sensations he felt when his meridians circulated!
It was deeply imprinted on Fang Yu's soul like a brand.

There was no need for deliberate recollection or understanding. With a slight movement of Fang Yu's mind, the powerful and abundant Qi within his dantian seemed to possess its own life, naturally beginning to circulate along the specific path of the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra.

"Whoa..." Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an extremely strange sensation arise spontaneously.

In his original plan, even with the memory of the Thousand Hall Master, changing one's cultivation technique would be like pioneering a new path, and there would always be some awkward and difficult parts.

But the reality is... it's unbelievably smooth!

It's like walking home along a familiar path you've followed since childhood, a path you could never get lost with your eyes closed.

The fragments of memory belonging to Master Qian, who had already honed this technique into instinct, were frantically flooding into every corner of Fang Yu's body.

Almost as soon as the thought arose, the vast energy within his body had already completed a full cycle of the Great Heavenly Circulation in a smooth and flowing manner!
"what?"

Fang Yu was astonished to find that after only one cycle of circulation, a strange heat emanated from deep within his body, and the temperature of his skin began to rise slightly.

He also had a clear intuition telling him that if he continued to circulate his energy for a few more cycles, he could successfully "enter the door" of this new technique without the help of the system!
This feeling... is extremely subtle!
At the level of "knowledge," thanks to Master Qian's complete instruction, Fang Yu's understanding of the [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra] is almost equivalent to that of a grandmaster who has immersed himself in this skill for decades and whose mastery is unparalleled!
He was fully aware of every subtle change and every risk.

However, when it comes to "practice"—when the exercises are performed on this brand-new body—some discomfort such as sluggishness and increased temperature may occur because the meridians and muscles are adapting to such high-intensity operation for the first time.

This is like a peerless master who once reached the pinnacle of martial arts, who, after dissipating his cultivation and starting to practice his unique skills that he already knew by heart, takes every step with ease and without any confusion.

All that remains is for the body to take a little time to catch up with the "correct route" that has already been etched into the soul.

"Master Qian, you really left a 'generous gift'..." Fang Yu exclaimed inwardly, filled with excitement and amazement.

Without further hesitation, he began to channel the surging energy within his body, strictly following the complex path of the [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra], initiating an even faster cycle...

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for diligently practicing the [Pure Sun Heart Sutra], increasing their proficiency.]

[Wood-level beginner skill: Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra [Not yet mastered].]

The familiar system prompt sounded.

Normally, Fang Yu would have used his precious attribute points to level up aggressively the moment he saw the words "not yet an expert".

But this time, he chose a different path!

The refined experiences and insights that filled his mind were like a never-ending river, continuously driving his cultivation.

Without conscious thought, the next movement and the path of the next meridian will automatically appear with unparalleled precision.

It was as if the skill of practicing this technique had been deeply ingrained in his bones, becoming an instinct as natural as breathing.

Fang Yu focused his mind on the subtle details within his body, making slight adjustments to the ongoing Great Circulation.

This is just a small optimization, an optimal solution based on countless attempts by Master Qiantang.

boom! ! !
As if muffled thunder was rolling within his body, a scorching current of air, far stronger than before, suddenly burst forth from every pore of his body!

A hissing white mist rose and spread from his body, and a dry, scorching heat filled the air.

Almost at the same instant, a pleasant notification sound rang in my ears:

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for diligently practicing the [Pure Sun Heart Sutra], increasing their proficiency.]

[The Pure Heart Sutra Under the Blazing Sun [Beginner] → The Pure Heart Sutra Under the Blazing Sun [Wood Level Beginner/Initial Understanding]]

Become!

It all happened so naturally! It was as if it were a masterpiece!
Fang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of disbelief flashing in them.

This speed... was so fast it left him speechless!
In the past, he had to put in tremendous effort and time to barely get the hang of any new martial arts technique. He had never had such an easy experience before.
It was as natural and smooth as drinking a cup of warm tea.

What made his heart race even faster was the surging power within him that clearly told him that this was not the end, far from it!

With this profound understanding, he was confident that he could elevate this skill to an astonishing level in a very short time!

After the initial shock, a rational analysis followed.

Everything... seems to make perfect sense.

This technique embodies the vast majority of Master Qian's life!

From the very beginning of his naive learning, all the sweat, torment, enlightenment, breakthroughs, and countless trials on the brink of life and death have forged this skill into a part of his life.

When that pure experience, that profound understanding that is almost as simple as the Tao, flowed into Fang Yu's body like a vast river, how could its efficiency be compared to ordinary cultivation methods?
It's as if Master Qian spent countless years honing this technique, and Fang Yu has now inherited its most precious and condensed "essence of experience" out of thin air!
