Chapter 26: The Small Return Pill (First Part)

  In exchange space.

  Yi Chi carefully looked at the newly refreshed screen, and now the medicinal pills on the screen were much more normal. At least, Yi Chi's heart wasn't racing as fast anymore.

  Tianwang Dan: A mid-grade Xuan-level pill, primarily made from the heart of the demonic beast Flying Tiger, hence its name Tianwang Dan. This pill can rapidly allow one to break through their current cultivation level. All cultivators below Great Warrior can break through a major boundary with this pill, and it can also shatter the Great Warrior boundary. Exchange requires energy points: 330000 points.

  Jiuxuan Dan: A lower-grade elixir, refined from the dual pupils of the nine-headed snake, a magical beast. It has the meaning of breaking through nine small boundaries in one day and can impact the Great Dou Shi boundary. Exchange requires energy points: 300000 points.

  Da Huandan: A pill that doesn't belong to this universe, its grade cannot be evaluated. It can instantly increase one's Qi greatly, allowing a Great Dou Shi to break through 7-9 small boundaries. Exchange requires energy points: 250,000 points.

  Xiao Huandan: A pill that doesn't belong to this universe, a simplified version of the Da Huandan, with only one-tenth of its efficacy. Can break through 3-6 small boundaries below the Dou Shi boundary and impact the Dou Shi boundary. Exchange requires energy points: 20,000 points.

  "Is it just these four?" Yi Tang asked, looking at the four types of elixirs on the screen.

  "Of course not, but these four are currently the most suitable for you. The others are either too expensive or cheap and useless to you. Among the same type of elixirs, these four are the best, and the price is also good. However, personally, I suggest you exchange for a small Stillness Elixir instead. Breaking through too quickly can cause psychological problems, meaning your mental state may not be able to keep up with your strength. Ultimately, which one to exchange for depends on you." Yitang said seriously to Yichi.

  After a moment's thought, Yi Chi also felt that he should first exchange for the 'Small Return Dan', after all, the Wang Dan was to raise one's boundary by a large margin. If he used it now, wouldn't it be a waste? When he himself reached the level of One-Star Master later on and exchanged for it then, he could directly reach the level of One-Star Grandmaster and not waste it.

  "Alright, fine, let's exchange for 'Xiao Huan Dan'." Yi Chi said, and the screen only showed the introduction of Xiao Huan Dan.

  "Are you sure to exchange 'Xiao Huan Dan'? Required energy points: 20,000 points."

  A voice came from the void, and Yi Chi only now realized that this sound was not emitted by Yi Tang, but rather the source of the universe.

  "Confirm exchange."

  As soon as his voice fell, a Dan medicine with flowing treasure light appeared in Yi Chi's hand.

  "Is this Xiao Huan Dan?" He picked it up and examined the pill that had been exchanged for 20,000 energy points.

  "Alright, stop staring and put it away." Yi Tang said to Yi Chi who was still admiring the small Dan.

  "Hehe, okay, now it's time to see the fighting skills." Yi Chi also felt that he was a bit abrupt, so he put away the small still pill. Now wasn't the time to take it yet, he still had fighting skills to exchange.

  "Well, you tell me what type you like, and I'll find it for you." Yi Tang didn't directly take out a bunch of fighting skills for Yi Chi to choose from, but instead asked about his preferences.

  It makes sense to think about it, if Yi Tang chooses a bunch of fighting skills that he doesn't really like, then it's a bit of a waste of time.

  I still prefer the kind of direct combat skills that don't require special elegance, those that consume a lot of internal energy are not necessary for me to list out. What I need is high practical value and strong attacking power. Of course, it would be best if it's something from my original world. The combat skills in this world seem to not care about technique at all, just recklessly using internal energy to attack, they look good but are not very practical.

  Yi Chi had also seen his father use combat skills before, specifically the mid-grade Xuan-level skill of the Yi family, "Heavenly Flame Palm". At that time, Yi Chi thought that this skill looked good, but when it came to killing enemies, it wasn't very direct. It condensed two huge flame palms on both hands to attack people, and during the attack, flames would shoot out everywhere, the momentum and elegance were all very high, but for killing enemies, it was a bit wasteful.

  "Haha, I didn't think you'd figure it out. Not bad, the martial arts in this world below the Heavenly level are quite wasteful of internal energy. They're great for group battles and have a bit of a flashy, showy quality to their attacks, but one-on-one, they're really not efficient. Of course, most high-level Martial Emperors have their own understanding of martial arts and wouldn't fall into this trap. This is just something that applies to people below the Martial Emperor level. I'm impressed that you were able to think of this." Yi Tang looked at Yi Chi with admiration.

  "Alright, don't say that, it feels like an elder scolding a younger one! Hurry up and do something practical, stop talking nonsense!" Yi Chi was not buying Yi Tang's story. This guy always loved to use the tone of an elder to lecture him, although he was many times older than himself, unfortunately, Yi Chi didn't mean to treat him as an elder.

  "You little scamp, you've really hurt my heart. Alright, seeing how anxious you are, I'll forgive you." Yi Tang gazed at Yi Chi with a pitiful expression, causing Yi Chi to break out in goosebumps.

  An Ye said "bad luck", and Yi Chi stopped looking at Yi Tang, turning his head to look at the screen instead.

  All I saw on the screen was a stream of information moving quickly, apparently, Yi Tang was filtering out the fighting skills that met Yi Chi's conditions.

  In the blink of an eye, there was no more information on the screen. The next instant, however, a book of fighting skills appeared, all of which met Yi Chi's requirements.

  "Alright, you see for yourself, I'm going to take a rest." Yi Tang looked at Yichi with a resentful expression.

  "Hey, do you still need to rest?" Yi Chi looked at Yi Tang with a puzzled expression. He had never heard of Yi Tang needing rest before. From the moment he knew of Yi Tang's existence, he had never seen him take a break - whether it was indulging in virtual food in the exchange space, staring blankly into space, or even teasing Yi Chi. But he had never said anything about needing rest. And in Yi Chi's opinion, as a super-intelligent brain merged with the cosmic source, Yi Tang wouldn't need rest like humans do. If it were a low-level computer, it would need electricity to function, but that was not the case for him. Compared to this, some of the energy Yi Chi exchanged should belong to Yi Tang, shouldn't it?

  "Nonsense, you've just hurt me, of course I need to rest." Yi Tang gave Yi Chi a 'you're responsible' look.

  "Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask. You continue." Yi Chi turned his head away with a helpless expression on his face. He also couldn't tell which sentence was a joke and which one was true from Yi Tang's words, who could change so quickly anyway.

  Ignoring Yi Tang, who was already lying on a transparent bed next to him, Yi Chi just wanted to take a serious look at the fighting skills on the screen when he heard the sound of 'pa, pa' behind him.

  Turning her head around, she found Yi Tang lying on the bed eating something.

  Covering his face, Yi Chi tried his best to imagine he couldn't hear that voice.

  Unfortunately, it seems not possible.

  "I'm saying, can't you eat more quietly?" Yi Chi looked at Yi Tang with a helpless expression, who was still devouring his food enthusiastically, not understanding what was so delicious about the transparent dish.

  "Ugh... don't mind me, you just watch your own stuff, ugh... you wouldn't want some too, would you? That's not allowed." After saying that, he even moved the things back a bit, as if afraid that Yi Chi would come and snatch his food.

  If this were a comic book, Yi Chi would definitely think that several seals had already appeared on his forehead.

  "Alright, you continue eating, but can you really keep your voice down a bit? Really." Yi Chi shook his head, he couldn't just not let people eat after all, uh, even if what they were eating was weird.

  "Alright, I'll try." He picked up a transparent, square-shaped thing and put it in his mouth, and Yi Tang nodded and said.

  Splish splash

  Splish-splash

  Splish-splash

  ......

  Yi Chi's back was against Yi Tang, his hands clenched into fists, tightly grasping the ground.

  "This guy, take a deep breath and calm down, I'll endure it." Yi Chi consoled himself, covering his ears with both hands to minimize the torturous sound.

  Yi Tang behind him, looked at Yi Chi with a playful smile on his face.

  "Hmph, you think I'm nothing, huh? Well, I'll show you. Hehe." With a happy smile, he continued eating, and the sound seemed to grow even louder.

  Yi Chi didn't know that Yi Tang was teasing him because he didn't take him seriously, if he knew, he would have sworn to listen carefully when Yi Tang spoke and not interrupt his words.

  He didn't say what Yitang was thinking, but said that after calming down, Yi Chi continued to stare at the screen.

  "Surging Waves Slap, Linked Eighteen Clubs, Soul Hook Locking Claw, Lightning Leg, Wave Cutting Slash, Cloud Striding Step, Great Strength Vajra Palm, Sky Splitting Earth Covering Knife Technique, Mountain Quelling Fist, Hell Refining Sword Technique, Lion's Roar Skill......" One by one, the names of over a hundred martial arts techniques flashed on the screen.

  "I now only have one move, the Claw Technique, and I can't use it too much. If I use it too many times, I'll probably end up killing myself. Well, in that case, let me exchange for a leg technique and sword technique instead." Yi Chi thought back to yesterday's feeling of almost exploding from using the "Hook Soul Claw" too much, and didn't plan on recklessly using it again. Moreover, this Hook Soul Claw also had its limits - after all, it was only a Xuan-level fighting skill, and at most would be effective against a Dou Wang, but not against a Dou Zong.

  Yi Chi's mind moved slightly, and the introduction of the Lightning Leg appeared on the screen.

  Lightning Leg: A lightning attribute martial art, originally a cultivation method of the ancient martial arts. When cultivated to the extreme, one can transform into lightning, with unparalleled power. Cultivation requires absorbing lightning, which is extremely dangerous. After absorbing lightning, the energy is dispersed throughout both legs, allowing cells to absorb the energy. Upon activation, it can unleash a lightning energy attack. Currently, it is the first layer of cultivation secret book, with nine layers in total. Exchange requires energy points: 100000 points.

  "Wow... " Looking at the clearly marked First Layer of Thunder Leg, this light is the first layer and it actually requires 100,000 energy points.

  "How much energy points would it take to exchange for the ninth level?" Although it feels expensive, doesn't this just show how powerful it is?

  "Let's take a look at others first and then decide." Yi Chi thought for a moment, still deciding to check out others first. After all, 100,000 points wasn't a small amount, it couldn't be taken lightly.
