At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Inside a branch hall of the Fenshui sect, used for guest accommodations.

After feeding Xiao Hei some food mixed with mirage snake blood, Mu Yang returned to his bedroom and focused his attention on the demon corpse in his sleeve space.

[Equipable Item: Mirage Serpent Corpse (Complete)]

[Rank: Rank 6]

【Equipment Effect: ① Robust Physique (Blue): Physical fitness is greatly improved (physical strength, total stamina, and reaction speed are all improved).

② Abundant Qi and Blood (Blue): The total amount of Qi and blood has been greatly increased.

③Strengthen the Divine Soul (Blue): The soul is greatly enhanced (mental strength, mental resistance, and nerve reaction speed are all improved).

④ Mirage Serpent Scale Armor (Blue): Greatly enhances the skin's defense. Consuming true energy can further enhance the defensive effect.

⑤ Mirage Serpent Tendons and Bones (Blue): The toughness and strength of one's own tendons and bones are greatly improved.

⑥ Water Control (Purple): Can consume true energy to manipulate water flow, condensing water blades, water walls, water dragons and other forms for attack or defense. If activated with water-attribute true energy, the consumption of true energy is greatly reduced and the power of the move will be greatly increased. The limit of water control depends on the strength of the divine soul.

⑦ Five Senses Manipulation (Purple): Consumes true energy to create special fluctuations that disrupt the target's five senses. If the user's spiritual strength is sufficient, they can create an immersive five-sense illusion for the target. The more based the illusion on the user's own understanding of things, the more realistic the illusion will be. The duration of the illusion depends on the spiritual strength of both parties.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for two years, or slay any sixth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

"The entry for this mirage serpent is actually this good?"

Looking at the entry for the corpse of the Mirage Serpent Demon, Mu Yang was greatly surprised.

No wonder this thing had the chance to transform from a snake into a dragon; it turns out it was a little genius among the demon race.

Not only are there seven entries, but the lowest level is blue, and there are even two purple ones.

Needless to say, the water control ability doubles the power of each additional unit.

Equipping this will increase the size of the water dragon he can summon by half.

If this continues, the water dragon he conjures will probably be even more realistic than a real dragon.

"Equipment: the corpse of the Mirage Serpent Demon."

With a thought, Mu Yang's mind instantly conjured the corpse of the Mirage Serpent Demon from his sleeve pocket.

[Ding! The Mirage Serpent Demon Corpse has been equipped!]

As a surge of vital energy descended, Mu Yang immediately focused his attention on his internal body.

The vast and boundless Qi and blood, after flowing through the major meridians and dantian of the body, gradually transformed into high-grade true Qi. Under Mu Yang's precise control, it began to transfer from the chest to the head.

The five major acupoints of the Opening Realm are all located in the chest cavity of the human body.

Although opening up is difficult, as long as you are serious and careful, and have enough true energy, the success rate is not low.

However, the five spiritual apertures are different.

These five orifices are all located near the human brain.

The specific locations are just like their names suggest: the eyebrow orifice is located in the center of the eyebrows, the eye orifice is located in the center of the eyes, the nose orifice is located at the tip of the nose, the mouth orifice is located behind the tongue on the head, and the ear orifice is located in the center of the ears near the mouth.

The five major spiritual apertures are arranged in a straight line in the human brain.

Because it's close to the brain, every step is extremely dangerous.

If you're not careful, you might end up with a crooked mouth, droopy eyes, or a protruding tongue for a while, which is a minor issue. The real danger is if you accidentally use too much force and damage your brain, leaving you in a vegetative state with only a body.

This is why many sixth-level martial artists, after opening the five major body acupoints, have been slow to advance further.

Without absolute certainty, attempting to open one's spiritual aperture is no less than gambling.

Moreover, the benefits of opening the spiritual aperture are actually not high.

Not only can it not be used as a pseudo-dantian to store true qi, it also does not increase strength by much.

Although it can increase the strength of the soul, the increase is not actually that significant.

At least for the vast majority of martial artists who rely on their physical bodies and internal energy to fight, there is almost no substantial increase in combat power.

Of course, no matter how difficult the process is, that's someone else's problem. For Mu Yang, everything will fall into place naturally.

In just half an hour, Mu Yang successfully opened his first spiritual aperture, the eyebrow aperture!

As the acupoints opened, strange vibrations reappeared.

However, unlike the physical acupoints that purely amplify the physical body, most of the strange fluctuations of the spiritual acupoints amplify the brain region of Mu Yang.

In an instant, Mu Yang felt his mind clear.

The power of the divine soul instantly increased by one-fifth, which is roughly equivalent to half the effect of a fifth-tier dragon's enhanced divine soul attribute.

In addition, Muyang's strength increased by 20 jin.

That's not all. The blood and energy provided by the mirage serpent are abundant, and since the spiritual aperture does not require the replenishment of spiritual energy, the consumption is actually not significant.

Mu Yang estimated that he should be able to gain another insight.

So he prepared to press on and continue to improve.

About half an hour later, another spiritual aperture and eye aperture was opened.

Not only did it increase Mu Yang's strength by 20 jin, but it also increased his spiritual power by one-fifth.

In addition to these enhancements, even the visuals have been improved.

The magnitude of the change was roughly equivalent to the change in his olfactory ability after he used his keen sense of smell.

"As expected, without accumulating true energy, a demon corpse can open two spiritual apertures."

After his qi and blood stabilized, Mu Yang thought to himself.

As the effect of the "Abundant Qi and Blood" attribute ends, the "Strong Physique" and "Extreme Spirit" attributes begin to take over.

The strength increased by 300 million jin.

This raised Mu Yang's physical strength limit to 1243 million jin.

With his physical body alone, he could easily suppress some ordinary sixth-level martial artists.

As for the increase in spiritual power, it was even more exaggerated, more than doubling.

If Mu Yang were to be manipulated by the five senses by the Mirage Serpent, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to sink into the illusion and enjoy the wild dance of ten thousand serpents.

The mirage serpent scales and tendons also increased Mu Yang's skin defense and tendon strength.

Water consumption has been reduced to one-third of its initial value, and the maximum power has been increased to three times its initial value.

As for controlling his five senses, he can't try it for the time being because there are no suitable targets around.

What should I put in the next six equipment slots?

Coming to his senses, Mu Yang looked at the empty equipment slots.

"Da~Da~Da~"

Just as Mu Yang was pondering, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded.

He snapped out of his reverie and focused his attention on the doorway.

"Knock knock knock~~~"

A moment later, a rhythmic knocking sounded on the door.

Mu Yang opened the door, only to find it completely empty.

He subconsciously looked down and only then could he see the person's face clearly.

It was none other than Lei Xing, the Supreme Elder of the Fenshui Sect, a little girl.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes glistening, and the corners of her eyes were red.

Why would this old lady come looking for him in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

He's not some electric shock kid!!
