The devil descended from the sky, and his fists suppressed the mountains and rivers

Chapter 332 The Road Ahead: True Qi as a Guide to Forging True Essence (Part 2)
Spiritual practice is about constantly creating miracles, turning the impossible into possible.

Now, Yi Beidou has once again subdued his demonic body.

After successfully dispelling and controlling the backlash from the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, Yi Beidou opened his eyes.

At this moment, several people dressed in black civilian clothes with Donghua faces entered, carrying some supplies.

Some bottled water and several black portable safes.

"Mr. Yi, we have brought you a special elixir that the Zixiao Research Institute has specially developed for you."

The leader stepped forward. He was a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle, a handsome face, and an extraordinary demeanor. At this moment, he looked at Yi Beidou as if he were looking at a god.

This person is the head of the Special Security Agency in Saudi Arabia, and he led the team that recently conducted remote reconnaissance of the battlefield.

That's why he witnessed the entire battle and understood perfectly what the man in front of him represented.

This represents the pinnacle of human physical strength and individual combat prowess in the thousands of years of modern civilization.

"Put the things on the ground."

Yi Beidou nodded slightly and said.

"Yes."

The person in charge instructed the people around him to place the supplies they were carrying on the ground, and then respectfully stepped aside.

Yi Beidou opened the safe and found neatly arranged dark purple pills the size of longans inside. An extremely strong medicinal fragrance wafted through the gymnasium.

Peacock Pill.

When Yi Beidou first became a saint, he used this unique pill from the Yang family to replenish his physical strength. However, after he betrayed the country and went missing, the supply of the pill was cut off.

However, during this Mediterranean trip, the Special Security Bureau focused on logistics and was clearly well-prepared, providing him with this kind of supplementary medicine, which was delivered to him immediately, proving to be a great help.

Otherwise, given his current physical condition, to replenish the losses from the previous battle, he would probably have to eat several cows raw and consume large amounts of rice, noodles, and vegetables.

Yi Beidou picked up a pill and carefully examined it.

Compared to the previous Peacock Pill, this one seemed to be much more potent, giving him a feeling of complete transformation. Even more miraculously, Yi Beidou seemed to sense a kind of "demonic power" within the pill.

In fact, the Yang family of Yunhai has already established a cooperative relationship with the Zixiao Research Institute. Not only the Yang family, but also the Zixiao Research Institute, under the leadership of the Special Security Bureau, has cooperated with many ancient martial arts families and schools with saint-level experts, sharing pill formulas and gathering pill masters from all over the country to integrate their advantages and develop new pills, even pills suitable for ordinary martial arts practitioners.

During the time Yi Beidou was away, the entire national machinery of Donghua University began to operate smoothly, and there have been tremendous changes in all aspects, with significant breakthroughs and progress in various research projects.

Some of these pills were so potent that even ordinary experts who had achieved sainthood found them difficult to consume and digest.

The pill in front of Yi Beidou now is one of them.

Tao Zihong named it "Magic Peacock".

Originally, this elixir formula was a scrapped proposal to explore new avenues, but considering Yi Beidou's existence, it was ultimately retained and used as a special-supply medicine.

Yi Beidou swallowed the pill, and his entire digestive system began to gurgle and rumble as if it were a machine.

Click!Click!
The extremely concentrated pills, with a hardness comparable to gold and iron, were crushed and digested, and their terrifying medicinal effects were rapidly released in the stomach and intestines.

Roar! !

Yi Beidou felt as if a demonic beast had been released from his body. The medicinal properties and nutrients exploded like a missile the moment they were digested.

It stimulates the mind, impacts the body, and accelerates blood flow to the maximum extent.

My heart rate spiked, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

It wasn't like a person slowly digesting the medicinal properties; rather, it was as if the medicinal properties were actively impacting and attacking the body, as if the elixir itself possessed life and consciousness, actively invading the body's limbs and bones.

If one is not careful, even a saintly expert's body can be damaged in this "nutrient explosion," and if not controlled properly, it may even result in serious injury.

However, this phenomenon also leads to a significant increase in nutrient absorption efficiency, as if the nutrients are digesting themselves before entering the body.

Only by suppressing this nutrient surge with a terrifying physique and a powerful will can one safely enjoy its benefits.

"A large number of toxic ingredients have been added to the pill to maximize its medicinal properties, and it seems that there are also living microorganisms? This seems to be the Gu poison of Miao territory. Once the pill is swallowed and digested, the Gu worms contained within will revive and actively attack the human body. This is an attack, but it can also be used to greatly accelerate the absorption of nutrients in the human body. It is a truly ingenious design. Compared to the previous Peacock Pill, its nutrient content has increased by about three times, and the absorption speed has increased by more than ten times."

Yi Beidou felt the medicinal power surging within his body and had already analyzed the principle behind the pill's effects to some extent.

It contains a certain poisonous ingredient. Once digested by the human body, these poisonous insects and microorganisms will quickly revive and actively attack the human body with the medicinal power and nutrients. This attack process is equivalent to accelerating the absorption of nutrients through external force.

However, most people cannot withstand its medicinal properties, and even for experts who have become saints, it is equivalent to poison.

However, Yi Beidou was clearly not among them. His demonic body was incredibly powerful, and he was protected by demonic flames and Penglai Immortal Techniques, so he was naturally unafraid of the effects of this medicine.

Boom!

The demonic flames burning within his body protected his cells, which in turn drove the Gu worms to work even harder, helping him digest nutrients. Under these circumstances, the absorption efficiency was even stronger than predicted by the Zixiao Research Institute.

At the same time, Yi Beidou's Penglai Technique was activated, fully restoring the body's recovery ability, allowing the massive nutrients entering the body to be quickly transformed into flesh and blood tissue.

Then, Yi Beidou picked up the bucket of water next to him and gulped it down to replenish his body's fluids.

Zizizi! !

Large amounts of white mist were metabolized from his pores, and his somewhat shriveled body visibly expanded as if being inflated.

All of this happened in about ten breaths.

"Under normal circumstances, it would probably take at least three or four minutes to fully digest this pill, and that would be under the premise of fully concentrating and mobilizing all bodily functions. It is not applicable in battle."

"But now, all you need to do is protect yourself, and the Gu worms in this pill will automatically help your body absorb nutrients faster. You don't need to spend too much mental energy. Although the absorption efficiency will definitely be longer than ten breaths, you don't need to be distracted to control it."

"In other words, this kind of pill can be used as an energy potion for me to use immediately in battle. The Zixiao Research Institute has given me a great gift."

Yi Beidou thought to himself.

After comprehending the true essence of Penglai Immortal Arts and giving birth to the power of jade, physical fitness became a major problem for Yi Beidou. Even though he had the body of a Heavenly Demon, before breaking through the limits, his physical fitness could not compare with that of the ancient beings who possessed the flesh and blood of Earth Immortals.

He was pondering how to solve this problem when, unexpectedly, someone brought him a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy.

This "Magic Peacock Pill" seems to be able to solve this problem to some extent.

If he had carried this pill with him during his duel with the Eastern King not long ago, he might have been able to capture the Eastern King.

Of course, if it were a fair and square duel, Yi Beidou would not rely on such external forces, but if the opponent used external forces first, or if multiple people attacked him, he would not mind using some means.

He was not an inflexible and pedantic person. This was the culmination of the wisdom of this era.

Boom!

After the medicine was fully absorbed, the demonic flames within Yi Beidou's body blazed, engulfing every corner. The numerous microscopic Gu worms remaining within the Demon Peacock Pill were burned to death by the demonic flames and expelled from Yi Beidou's body as mist through circulation.

"Qian Yuan".

Yi Beidou looked towards a corner of the stadium, where Meng Qianyuan was resting and protecting him.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Upon hearing Yi Beidou's call, Meng Qianyuan, who was meditating and adjusting his breathing, opened his eyes, took a step, and appeared in front of Yi Beidou with the speed of teleportation.

"Have the Special Security Bureau make me a tactical belt with special materials to store the pills. The requirement is that it be strong enough."

Yi Beidou said it bluntly.

"clear."

Meng Qianyuan's expression shifted, and he looked at the pills on the ground, as if he understood something.

It seems the Zixiao Research Institute has come up with some good stuff again, so much so that even Mr. Yi is willing to carry it with him.

He quickly walked away to instruct the Saudi representative next to him to contact headquarters, believing that headquarters would be able to handle this small matter soon.

Yi Beidou, on the other hand, continued to take elixirs to restore his physical strength.

Chi Chi Chi!
As he swallowed the Magic Peacock Pills and drank large amounts of electrolyte water, Yi Beidou continuously emitted steam from his body, filling the entire stadium with a misty atmosphere.

Fortunately, there were no female staff members in the stadium; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Zhou Qingchen is an exception; her own strength will not be affected by Yi Beidou.

After consuming more than a dozen Demon Peacock Pills, Yi Beidou could feel that his body had basically recovered. However, due to the continuous high-intensity operation of his body, he felt fatigue signals from his body and also felt mentally exhausted.

He possesses the power of jade and the Penglai Technique for rapidly repairing his body, but he is still flesh and blood, and as a human, he will tire.

Seeing that Yi Beidou had returned to normal, the other protectors gathered around him.

"Huh? What kind of new pill is this? Is this some kind of amazing stuff from the Purple Cloud Research Institute?"

Zhou Qingchen curiously picked up a Demon Peacock Pill to examine it.

"I have a very dangerous feeling."

Ding Huiyuan stroked his chin and commented.

"Theoretically speaking, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it poison. If you want to try it, it's best to use a small dose."

Meng Qianyuan explained.

As a high-ranking official in the Special Security Bureau, he was quite familiar with the Demon Peacock Pill.

"Never mind, compared to this new type of pill, I'm more interested in the battle we just fought. Beidou, would you mind showing us that power?"

Zhou Qingchen looked at Yi Beidou and asked.

The others also looked solemn. They understood very well that Yi Beidou was able to turn defeat into victory because he had comprehended a power that was different from magnetic fields.

"Of course, this is also something I would like to discuss with you all."

Yi Beidou nodded. He wouldn't hold back; he hoped everyone could progress together so that they could ultimately change an era.

hum! !

A jade-like luster appeared on his body, spreading outwards like silk threads and wrapping around the bucket beside him.

The next moment, the buckets floated up, as if they were being lifted by silk threads.

"Imperial object?"

A look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.

"This is no longer a magnetic force; it's more like a tangible existence."

Ding Huiyuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Perhaps it can be called 'bioenergy.' Every one of us has this energy in our bodies. The beating of the heart, the movement of the limbs, the generation of cells—all life activities require the consumption of this energy."

"The way practitioners use this energy varies depending on their stage of cultivation. Beginner practitioners use their fists and feet to control and utilize this energy, which is also the way the general public uses this energy. This is undoubtedly a low-level method of use, which is inefficient and has a high rate of loss."

"Furthermore, practitioners can actively mobilize their internal organs and spiritual will to use this power, and control their bodies with their will to make their fists and feet exert this power with less energy consumption. This is the realm of internalizing and mastering the fist techniques and seizing the soul."

"After reaching the Saint Realm, cultivators began to master methods that were closer to the essence of this energy, which is the so-called 'True Qi,' also known as the life magnetic field. Through the power of the magnetic field, we can influence the surrounding environment and even the forces of nature, and use the magnetic field to deeply influence the physical body, achieving all sorts of incredible effects."

"But the life magnetic field is ultimately an ethereal thing. It has a greater impact on living beings but a smaller impact on the real material environment. This fundamentally limits the power of the Saint Realm. For example, the body is limited by the strength limit of the mortal body. Even if there is a way to further expand one's own magnetic field, it still cannot be used, or it requires a great price, such as forbidden secret techniques."

At this point, a thoughtful look appeared in everyone's eyes.

Are they not strong enough? Obviously not. They have strong willpower and extremely strong control over their bodies, enabling them to use forbidden techniques to instantly surge their life magnetic field and forcibly enhance their physical abilities.

However, such power is difficult for a mortal body to withstand, so it comes at a great cost, even death.

The ancients are different. Some of them have devoured a large amount of the flesh and blood of earth immortals, and their physical strength must have surpassed that of mortals. Therefore, they can use certain methods without restraint.

If Zhou Qingchen and the others possessed equally robust physical bodies, it would be difficult to say who would be stronger.

"This leads to the next step: through certain methods, practitioners can directly grasp the most fundamental life energy of the human body and manifest it. This energy will no longer be illusory, but will be able to produce real effects, thereby helping humans break through the limits of the mortal body."

Yi Beidou continued.

hum! !

The power of jade surged within him, and jade threads spread out, adhering to the wall of a bucket.

Instantly, the entire bucket seemed to transform into jade, giving it a crystal-clear appearance.

"Try attacking this bucket."

Yi Beidou said.
