I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 27 He is dead

Half a month passed in a flash.

That morning, Chen Mo was awakened by the chirping of birds. Opening his sleepy eyes, he saw the bright morning light streaming in through the window, casting a warm glow on his face.

A few sparrows perched on the windowsill, chirping incessantly.

Perhaps because Chen Mo was in a good mood, he didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he felt that this was the true taste of nature.

I stretched briefly, rubbed my eyes, and got out of bed fully clothed.

After washing up, Chen Mo took his knife and went to the yard to practice his martial arts.

From the very first move, the broadsword slashed with the ferocity of a dragon or tiger, moving gracefully like a swimming dragon, creating gusts of wind. Compared to half a month ago, it had undergone a fundamental transformation.

He broke through the Iron Bone Realm three days ago.

There's no other way; we have plenty of Qi and Blood Pills.

The golden finger deciphers the key, and he takes shortcuts like crazy.

With the same effort, Chen Mo's results were several times, even ten times, greater than others.

Players who spend money on in-game purchases and use cheats are characterized by a complete lack of sportsmanship.

Not only did he master the third move of the Fuyang Saber Technique, "Slaying the Mountain Man," but he also mastered the second move of the Fiery Palm, "Sinking Pressure." Furthermore, he was also proficient in the third move of the Xuanyin Hand, "Blocking Hammer."

It can be said to be a great harvest.

But Chen Mo was not smug at all; a shadow still hung over his heart.

He knew very well that even with his current strength, he would be powerless against another Nightmare Suppression Technique.

Not to mention encountering evil spirits and entering a ghostly place.

I am still very weak and cannot afford to be complacent.

After practicing his martial arts for another hour or so, Chen Mo finally sheathed his sword and had Qiu Lan bring him breakfast. After a quick meal, he returned to his room and swallowed the last of the Wei Qi ointment.

This batch of Wei Qi ointment was the second time Chen Mo had taken it from the woman's body. He ate a small piece every day, and it's all gone now.

With Chen Mo's current strength of Qi and blood, taking the second batch of Wei Qi ointment had virtually no side effects. Any slight corrosion from Yang Qi was neutralized in no time.

"It seems it's time to make the third batch of Weiqi Skin Ointment."

Chen Mo instructed Ma Tie to cut off a piece of the woman's skin and have Qiu Lan boil it into a paste. He then rolled a small pill and fed it to Chen San. Afterward, he returned to the main room to practice his martial arts.

Around noon, Ma Tie rushed out from the backyard, shouting, "Young Master, Chen San is dead!"

Chen Mo suddenly stood up. "Take me to see this quickly."

Rushing to the back room in the courtyard, they indeed found Chen San lying stiffly on the floor, his face flushed and covered in burns. He was no longer breathing.

Chen Mo frowned after examining the body. "When did this happen?"

Ma Tiedao: "Just now."

Chen Mo said, "Tell me the details of what happened."

Ma Tie recalled briefly and recounted, "I had been guarding the backyard when I suddenly heard Chen San cry for help. I rushed over and saw Chen San rolling on the ground, tearing at his clothes and shouting that he was very hot. Before I could inform the young master, Chen San kicked his legs and died. It was only a matter of four or five breaths."

He died in just four or five breaths?

This batch of Wei Qi ointment... is the corrosion of Yang Qi really that strong?
Chen Mo squatted down and reached out to touch Chen San's skin, only to feel a burning heat. It seemed that Chen San's internal organs had already been burned through.

He immediately went to the room next door where the woman was being held.

"Ow!"

As soon as the woman saw someone approaching, she looked up and began to scream wildly at Chen Mo. Her mouth opened to her ears, revealing fangs that were about an inch long. Sticky saliva dripped down her fangs, "drip-drip-drip" onto the ground.

A month ago, Chen Mo wouldn't have dared to approach this woman so easily.

Now that Chen Mo has cultivated to the Iron Bone Realm of the Third Stage, with his strength in hand, he naturally became bolder. He walked over and kicked the woman, stomping her head hard on the ground.

Even though the woman was chained up, she still put up a powerful struggle. Chen Mo had to use half his strength to finally pin her to the ground, rendering her immobile. The next moment, Chen Mo turned the woman over and stared at her abdomen.

To Chen Mo's surprise, the original single black pole had become two black poles.

This means that... the resentment and curse within the woman's body have deepened considerably.

This made Chen Mo a little flustered.

Chen Mo had always believed that the woman's madness was improving thanks to her defensive qi.

Unexpectedly, while the defensive energy was increasing, the madness was also worsening!
If the Weiqi ointment cannot eradicate the evil curse and resentment, what else can I hope for?

Thinking this, Chen Mo felt terrible.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had a good mindset and quickly adjusted his emotions, analyzing the ins and outs of the matter:
As the defensive energy increases, so does the ghostly curse and resentment... So the key to curing madness lies in obtaining sufficiently strong defensive energy to reach a balance point that suppresses the ghostly curse and resentment, which will cure madness.
Chen Mo felt that this judgment was correct.

Just like AIDS in a previous life, the reason why symptoms appeared was not because there was no HIV virus in the body at all, but because the number of viruses was extremely small and suppressed by the body's immune system, not reaching the number that would trigger symptoms.

As long as you obtain a high-quality Wei Qi ointment and prevent the curse from triggering the illness, there is still a possibility of curing the disease.

After all, she wasn't a woman; she was physically strong and skilled in martial arts. The effects of absorbing the woman's protective energy ointment should be much better than those from the woman herself.

I may not necessarily become the next woman.

With this in mind, Chen Mo instructed Ma Tie: "Give Chen San's body to the woman. Also, go to the county government office and ask if there are any death row inmates in the Three Passes Iron Bone Realm. If so, buy one for experiments."

Chen Mo couldn't wait to find someone to test the third batch of Wei Qi Skin Ointment.

Chen Mo returned to his room, closed the door, and then lifted his clothes to examine the baby's face on his abdomen.

Although the baby face had faded considerably, Chen Mo felt extremely uneasy after learning that the dark lines inside the woman's body had increased.

If this disease is not cured, it will eventually become a major hidden danger.

It makes me feel so insecure.

"I need to try harder."

Chen Mo opened the manual on the Fiery Palm technique, recalling Lei Peng's earlier words: Ghosts and evil spirits are mostly of the Yin nature, and they are most afraid of the Yang energy of the human body. In the external world, this means they fear fire. The Fiery Palm technique takes an unconventional approach, focusing on refining one's own blood and energy into fire poison. Once mastered, one's blood and energy become as hot as fire, and the fire poison will grow, thus suppressing ordinary ghosts and evil spirits.

"Once you master the third move of the Fiery Palm, Palm Fire, you can subdue ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. It should also have some effect on madness. However, mastering the third move is not easy, which means that your cultivation level needs to reach the Four Gates and Five Organs Realm."

A martial artist who has reached the Four Gates and Five Organs Realm can be called a master.

Among all the guards in the Chen family mansion, only a handful have reached the Five Viscera Realm.

Taking this step is extremely difficult.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to go for it."

Chen Mo gathered his thoughts and began practicing the Fiery Palm technique.

At dusk, Ma Tieren returned, but brought no good news. "I asked Constable Wang and the jailer. There are no prisoners from the Three Passes Iron Bone Realm in jail."

Although he was mentally prepared, Chen Mo still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he actually heard these words.

"How many guards in our manor are at the Third Pass Iron Bone Realm?"

Ma Tie said, "About ten. But they all follow Master Zhou, and they are all obedient, sensible, and dutiful."

Chen Mo nodded.

After all, they were conducting experiments on people, who could die at any moment. Although Chen Mo was anxious, he wouldn't just grab any good person to test them. That would make him no different from an animal.

Chen Mo didn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary.

"As the defensive qi produced by the woman becomes stronger, a stronger test subject is needed. I don't have time to wait any longer; I need to find a way to capture a bandit at the Third Pass Iron Bone Realm as soon as possible."

Just as Chen Mo was in a dilemma, an uninvited guest came to his door.
