Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 19 Diamond Enhancer

Song Mingyue is exquisitely beautiful, and her cool and aloof temperament gives her a sense of being detached from the world.

To put it bluntly, she looks ethereal. To put it even more bluntly, she has what young men call the "goddess" vibe.

Although Gao Wu retained memories of his previous life, he was still an eighteen-year-old boy at heart. He naturally liked beautiful women, and he wasn't limited by age or race, as long as they were attractive…

He was overjoyed to have Song Mingyue's trust in him.

He then wondered if Song Mingyue had used persuasive tactics to fool him. After all, Mr. Jin had said that beautiful women are the best at deceiving people.

He glanced at Song Mingyue, who had her eyes downcast and head bowed. Her aloof yet delicate appearance stirred a pang of pity in him: Yueyue wouldn't lie! Even if she did, she wouldn't lie to him.

It wasn't that he was overconfident; it was simply that Song Mingyue had risked her life to get him to help. Other things could be faked, but this trust couldn't be faked.

Of course, Song Mingyue might have some means of survival. After all, she's an extremely intelligent girl!
On the other hand, Song Mingyue is cool and unpretentious, making her quite comfortable to be around. Gao Wu thinks that the two might actually have corresponding genomes.

Perhaps it was due to the blessing of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, but in any case, there was an indescribable and mysterious connection between him and Song Mingyue.

These feelings may be wrong, but the Book of Immeasurable Merit is not wrong.

However, there is still a question here.

Gao Wu asked, "Why didn't you ask someone for help?"

Song Mingyue understood Gao Wu's meaning, and she said softly, "My mother passed away when I was ten years old. My father quickly remarried a woman from the Han family. Since then, I have moved out and lived alone. I can't use my father's resources, nor do I want to."

She then turned serious and said, "The Otherworldly Spirits are unimportant to others, but the Void Realm is exceptionally important, its value immeasurable. You must remember to keep this a secret."

Gao Wu looked puzzled. What value could a Void Realm have? It's just an entrance to another world!
There are seven secret realms in the real world, each a direct entrance to another dimension. To protect these seven realms, humanity has stationed over a million troops there, including powerful Martial Kings.

The secret realm is a virtual realm, and virtual realms require strong people and large armies to protect them, which shows that virtual realms are extremely dangerous.

Song Mingyue patiently explained to Gao Wu: "The other world is vast and endless, and most of the virtual realms are not dangerous. However, the concentration of source energy in the virtual realms is ten or even a hundred times that of the real world."

"A hidden virtual realm, which can be used to train warriors, raise exotic beasts, and so on..."

"I understand." Gao Wu suddenly realized that the Iron Horned Black Sheep he ate must have been raised in the Void Realm.

The virtual realm has immense value. Song Mingyue dislikes her stepmother and probably doesn't have a good impression of her father either, so she won't ask the Song family for help with this matter.

"What do you plan to do?" Gao Wu asked.

"If I can personally deal with this alien spirit, it will allow my spiritual power to make a substantial breakthrough."

Song Mingyue said earnestly to Gao Wu: "The reason why warriors can circulate source power is that the foundation is the body, but the core is the spiritual power."

"Some advanced martial artists have very strong bodies, but they can't control their source power no matter what they do, because their mental strength is not enough."

“This matter is of vital importance to my spiritual practice.”

She looked into Gao Wu's eyes and pleaded, "Please help me kill the alien spirit. Once the alien spirit is gone, the entrance to the Void Realm will be opened. The Void Realm will be yours."

This is actually a crucial reason why she doesn't ask others for help.

It's easy to hire a master to kill the evil spirit, but it's far too difficult for her to get a master to suppress the evil spirit herself.

After conducting a comprehensive evaluation, she felt that Gao Wu was the most suitable candidate.

Seeking Gao Wu's help this time might seem reckless, but she had actually prepared contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances. Since Gao Wu could withstand the alien spirits, there was no need for her to expend such a great deal of effort to use the contingency plan.

"It is my duty to help those in distress and to do what is right. Not to mention that we have a friendship, I would go through fire and water for you."

Gao Wu admired Song Mingyue's straightforwardness and generosity. Helping is helping, and reward is reward; he couldn't take advantage of her just because she liked to help.

Regardless of whether the virtual realm was useful to him or not, he liked Song Mingyue's attitude at least.

He thought for a moment and said, "This strange spirit's cold energy is powerful; I can't hold out for long either."

It's easy to talk big, but this matter concerns his and Song Mingyue's lives, so he must be careful.

“You are still a little lacking in strength, but you are improving very, very quickly.”

Song Mingyue possessed both strong and keen mental power; she could tell that Gao Wu's personal strength had increased significantly in just a few days.

There is no doubt that Gao Wu used drugs to stimulate his body.

The key point is that Gao Wu's body hasn't undergone any harmful changes. He can also withstand the chill of the alien spirits, clearly indicating that his body is very special. The fusion of the other world and the real world, with the large amount of source energy seeping in, is unknowingly altering the human physique.

Over a century, and through the accumulation of several generations, some people have experienced genetic mutations, resulting in the development of special abilities.

Such a special physique as Gao Wu is not common, but it is not particularly special either.

The key lies in the fact that high-level martial arts can dispel the cold energy of the alien spirits, which is extremely rare. Even warriors who can control source energy may not be able to do this.

It must be that Gao Wu has some special talent or ability!
Everyone has their own secrets. Song Mingyue would never ask Gao Wu about his specific physical condition.

She said, "I haven't used my family's resource allocation for this year yet. I can exchange it for ten basic Vajra Enhancement Agents, which is enough to raise your physical strength by one level." Song Mingyue said.

In her view, the most direct way to fight against the alien spirits is undoubtedly to improve the physical strength of a high-level martial artist.

Diamond Strengthening Agent is a top-tier strengthening agent specifically designed to strengthen bones, muscles, and skin. Its main drawback is significant side effects; even with neutralizing agents, it can easily lead to problems such as bone marrow necrosis and leukemia.

Judging from Gao Wu's physical condition, he is very suitable to use the Vajra Enhancer.

Given the gravity of the matter, Song Mingyue explained the advantages and disadvantages of the diamond-enhancing agent to Gao Wu in detail.

Gao Wu was very interested, but then he thought about it and realized that the effects of the Vajra Enhancer and the Blood Dragon Elixir overlapped somewhat. Song Mingyue's serious explanation suggested that the Vajra Enhancer must be very precious.

He possesses the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, so he doesn't need to worry about his physical strength. His current problem is that he's too slow. If he could increase his speed, he could solve his biggest weakness.

"My problem is that I'm too slow. Is there any medicine for that?" Gao Wu asked.

"We can use flying squirrel medication, professionally known as a neural synapse hyperstimulator, which is made by recombining and adjusting neurons from alien flying squirrels. It can enhance a person's thinking speed and neural response, by at least one time, and in some cases, up to five times."

"However, this drug can damage a person's central nervous system. Even with the use of a neutralizing agent, it can easily cause cognitive confusion and is highly addictive."

Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu, as if to say, "Are you sure you want to use it with such severe side effects?"
Gao Wu nodded: "I want to give it a try."

“Okay.” Song Mingyue did not try to persuade her, nor did she mention that the flying squirrel potion would not directly help her situation.

Gao Wu saved her life, and that alone was enough. Not to mention, she was certain that Gao Wu's genome corresponded to hers, making him her destined companion.

Soaked to the bone, Song Mingyue walked away against the cold wind. Gao Wu escorted her to the school gate, where a luxury car was already waiting.

It's clear that even though Song Mingyue isn't living a particularly comfortable life, she still maintains a very high quality of life. It's something most people can't compare to.

Back in his dormitory, Gao Wu pondered the events of the evening several times, and he felt that Song Mingyue was probably not lying.

Judging from the Book of Immeasurable Merit, although Song Mingyue is aloof and proud, she knows how to be grateful. Therefore, her character is unlikely to have any major problems.

Besides, he's just an ordinary high school student, not worth Song Mingyue going to such lengths to deceive him.

As for Song Mingyue's trust in him, part of it likely stemmed from the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse. However, Song Mingyue was completely unaware of this.

Having Song Mingyue as a friend can help him solve many problems.

Once his Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse reaches a higher level, he should be able to help Song Mingyue deal with the strange spirits in White Scale Lake.

Win-win!

After pondering for a while, Gao Wu quickly focused his mind and began to practice the Nine Forms of the Dragon.

This cultivation method is extremely profound; even with the blessing of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, he can only reach the proficiency level.

The Nine Forms of the Dragon shape refine the physical body and spirit from the outside in, and it is also the great path for him to comprehend the source power.

After practicing the Nine Forms of the Dragon Form several times, Gao Wu felt his body enter a calm, relaxed, and comfortable state, and the frenzied effects of the Blood Dragon Elixir had clearly been completely digested.

He could clearly feel that his own strength had also increased.

Normally, it takes at least three days for a dose of Blood Dragon Elixir to be absorbed. He only injected one dose last night, and in less than 24 hours, he's already absorbed all the potency of the Blood Dragon Elixir?
Opening the Book of Boundless Merit, sure enough, my strength increased by 0.1 points. My spirit also increased by 0.1 points, bringing the total to 7 points.

The increase in strength comes from the Blood Dragon Elixir, but why does the increase in spirit occur?

Gao Wu immediately thought of the strange spirit in White Scale Lake; it must have been his struggle against that thing that stimulated the growth of his spiritual power. Or perhaps it was related to Song Mingyue?
The improvement of mental strength is very slow. It would be great if the alien spirit could stimulate the growth of mental strength.

Gao Wu felt a surge of excitement at the thought, wishing he could go to White Scale Lake and try it again right now.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Wait, something's not right..."
