A Game for Everyone: I'm Using Different Flames to Play Overload!

[Ding! Player, please note that you have successfully used the "Yin-Yang Secret Technique" of the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu. The medicinal power of the Blood Gallbladder Grass has been fully refined by you, and through the power of the Ancient Dragon's original blood essence, it circulated within Yue Mei's dantian before returning to her body. A "Blood Link Seal" has been planted in your and Yue Mei's dantian, linking them together.]

[Blood Seal Effect: You can transfer experience points gained through kills, elixirs, spiritual plants, etc., to your subordinate "Moonlight" via the Blood Seal. This experience will ignore the NPC leveling rules and be judged according to the player experience point rules.]

[Note 1: The Blood Chain Seal effect can only be used once. This effect is calculated as a single instance of experience gain and cannot be stored. The Blood Chain Seal will disappear within six months of game time.]

[Note 2: Due to your extremely strong physique and the medicinal properties of the Blood Gallbladder Grass matching Yue Mei's bloodline, when the Blood Seal effect is triggered, it may provide Yue Mei with a bloodline-related buff. This buff is related to the amount of experience points gained.]

It's possible that snakes have relatively soft bodies, which gives them excellent shock absorption, resulting in strong impact resistance.

Yang Shan paid Tianyao a full eighty-four RMB before the secret technique was considered complete.

Just minutes before, Yue Mei was begging for mercy, but after completing the secret technique, she was actually able to get out of bed and walk!

A medical miracle?

Previously, Yue Mei's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, but now she has a rosy complexion and looks radiant.

Is it because the secret technique is too powerful, or is it like rain after a long drought?

Never mind, it's irrelevant.

Yang Shan owed Elder Zhu Li a great favor. Now that Yue Mei has recovered, there is hope for the future, and Yang Shan can finally feel at ease.

It's a good opportunity to have dinner with Xiao Ziyan.

Yang Shan also has the task of appeasing Xiao Ziyan!

This task was practically a freebie for Yang Shan.

The people of Gulong Island don't understand Xiao Ziyan, but Yang Shan understands her all too well!

Just a few numbers will prove it:

90, 60, 90!

Therefore, Yang Shan has at least nine ways to appease Xiao Ziyan!

He chose a rather efficient method: eating!

Xiao Ziyan used to never eat.

Most players at Canaan Academy believe that Xiao Ziyan likes to eat spiritual plants or sweet-tasting pills.

After all, in the original novel, Xiao Yan refined spiritual plants into pills, added some sugar, and gained Xiao Ziyan's friendship.

But in reality, Xiao Ziyan, like Xiao Xun'er, had long been led astray by Yang Shan!

Xiao Ziyan only eats spiritual plants not because she doesn't eat other foods, but because she feels that her stomach is only so big, and she needs to eat spiritual plants to constantly improve her cultivation!

After Yang Shan's encouragement, Xiao Ziyan relaxed and began to try eating some food.

Then it gradually turned into a little gluttonous dragon.

Gulong Island certainly has many delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

The food that Xiao Ziyan eats every day is prepared according to the "nutrition" that Xiao Ziyan needs most at the moment, based on Hei Qing's dream goddess "Bai Jing".

But as Chinese people, we have access to so many delicious foods every day.

Many of these foods are harmful to the human body or put a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines.

However, these delicacies have been passed down to the present day and have even become the dining choice for most people when they go out for entertainment.

So why do many people still eat these foods even though they know they're bad for them?

because--

good to eat!

The food Bai Jing prepared for Xiao Ziyan might not have been bad; in fact, it could be described as having excellent color, aroma, and taste.

But what Yang Shan used to feed Xiao Chanlong wasn't very nutritious, but it was food that was very addictive!

Take, for example, the simplest fried potato.

Even elementary school students know that potatoes are high in carbohydrates and can be a staple food.

However, if you eat potatoes as a staple food, it will increase the burden on your stomach and intestines, causing acid reflux and bloating.

Long-term, excessive use can also lead to obesity and elevated blood sugar.

But would people who like potatoes refuse to eat potatoes because of this?

impossible!

There are many different kinds of dishes made with potatoes as the main ingredient.

For example, pan-fried potato pancakes, stir-fried shredded potatoes with ginger, French fries, crispy potato fritters, and "heavenly silkworm" potatoes.

What Yang Shan mentioned to Zi Yan before was just a drop in the ocean!

Even if Zi Yan ate all the dishes laid out in front of her, the "nutrition" she would get would not be as good as that of a sixth-order spiritual plant.

But Ziyan's mouth is now covered in oil!

All the pictures of Zi Yan on the forum are unbelievably beautiful.

Who would have thought that Ziyan would eat like this?

"Ziyan, does it smell good?"

"It smells so good! Yang Shan, you have no idea. I've been craving hot pot on Donglong Island, but the only chili peppers available there are a seventh-tier spiritual plant called Blood Spirit Pepper. I took one lick, and oh my, my mouth is watering from the spiciness!"

Compared to Zi Yan, Yue Mei was much gentler when eating.

It seems like there's something wrong with his neck; it keeps tilting towards Yang Shan.

Yang Shan took out a damp towel and wiped the grease from Zi Yan's lips, then smiled and said:

"Don't eat so fast. I've prepared a recipe for Senior Bai Jing, all of which are your favorite dishes. If you ever crave them, just ask Senior Bai Jing to cook them for you. But you can't eat them all the time; you still need to focus on spiritual plants."

Zi Yan grinned and kept smiling:

"I knew it, Yang Shan, you're the best to me!"

[Ding! Player, please note that your micro-story "Zi Yan's Joy" has been completed. Zi Yan no longer harbors any resentment towards you. Your favorability rating has increased by 5. Current favorability rating: 50!]

"Hey, Yang Shan, what is this white root?"

"Oh, this is cold-dressed houttuynia cordata."

"Zhe'ergen? Never heard of it, ugh... ugh! What is this? Is this something a human can eat? Yang Shan, are you deliberately messing with me?"

"Where would I possibly mess with you? Just watch!"

Yang Shan stuffed a handful of houttuynia cordata into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.

Xiao Ziyan felt a chill run down her spine.

Ziyan's matter is settled, and Yuemei's matter is settled as well.

Yang Shan naturally needed to adjust his state and prepare for a breakthrough!

According to Ye Suifeng, Xiao Aotian recently went to Han Yue's family to perform a public spectacle.

As a result, he hasn't gone to see Han Yue at all recently.

Furthermore, considering that Xiao Aotian has been similar to him recently, he hasn't shown his face much in front of the players, and his level has already reached the eight-star Dou Zong.

Yang Shan had reason to suspect that Xiao Aotian was currently trying to find a supreme spiritual object to help him break through to the Dou Zun level!

Then I began preparing to break through to the Dou Zun level!

In truth, Xiao Aotian has quite a few connections at his disposal.

As far as Yang Shan knew, there was Xiao Mei of the Xiao Clan, Tianhuo Venerable who reached the level of a five-star Dou Zun in his prime, and Feng Venerable who was a four-star Dou Zun.

Xiao Aotian also had a high level of goodwill towards the Medicine Venerable!

How much remains unknown is something Yang Shan has no idea.

With the great 500-year period drawing near, relics at the Dou Zun level appear in Zhongzhou from time to time, causing NPCs and players to scramble for them.

Although many players were sent back to the Black Corner due to their failure in the competition, once they obtained some precious treasures, their progress would immediately jump to a higher level.

To be on the safe side, Yang Shan must make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Thanks to the Blood Gallbladder Grass nurtured by Yue Mei, and in conjunction with the Yin-Yang Secret Technique, Yang Shan has now achieved a true breakthrough in his ultimate potential!

The foundation, physique, and spatial power are all supreme!

Zi Yan took Yang Shan to her residence to make a breakthrough.

There is a barrier set up personally by Elder Zhuli here.

Furthermore, the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth can aid in breakthroughs!

As usual, log off and adjust your status, then log back in and offer three sticks of incense to the AI ​​Nuwa.

[Ding! You are preparing for the Inner Demon Trial to break through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun. The difficulty of this trial is based on your current foundation. If you fail the trial, your level will drop to Seven-Star Dou Zong, and you will be in a weakened state for sixty days. You can use relevant methods to remove the weakened state in advance, but you will still be unable to retake the Inner Demon Trial within sixty days.]

[Please note that the difficulty of the Inner Demon Trial at this level is too high in the current version. Please confirm again whether you wish to proceed with the Inner Demon Trial.]

[You have confirmed! It has been detected that your current location is highly beneficial for cultivation breakthroughs, reducing the difficulty of this Inner Demon Trial by 20%. If the breakthrough fails, experience deduction will be halved, and the weakened state will only last for thirty days.]

[The system has detected NPCs in your favorability and hatred lists whose levels far exceed yours. You can choose to spend 1 point of Luck, and the system will randomly assign a relevant NPC from the list as your trial opponent.]

Please note that after you choose to consume your Fortune, all interactions you have with your trial opponent will be transmitted to them in the form of a "dream." You can also seize the opportunity to gain more opportunities and increase your favorability/hatred from them during the trial.

Please note that if you fail the trial, this interaction will not be passed on to the other party, and you will not be able to gain any opportunities from this trial of inner demons.

Yang Shan knew that the difficulty of breaking through to the Dou Zun level in the current version was bound to be extremely high.

If he fails, the month-long "cooling-off period" will greatly slow down Yang Shan's development.

But Yang Shan doesn't have much left to prepare.

Even the [Yanluo] in his hand was temporarily restored to the attributes of a mid-grade artifact by Hei Qing using special means.

If he can't pass the inner demon trial, then Su Yitang, Xiao Aotian, and Yi Qingyang will definitely not be able to break through either!

Unless they choose to lower the difficulty and break through with a perfect foundation.

But the three of them would never do something so petty.

They would rather see a hundred players break through to the Dou Zun level than settle for a breakthrough by perfecting their foundation!

As for those outside the Heavenly Ranking

Ye Suifeng, who is ranked fifth on the combat power list, is still only at the Seven Star Dou Zong level!

Even if he's willing to endure the negative penalty of halved experience and ignore "speed potential" to forcibly grind monsters and level up.

He absolutely has no way of reaching the Dou Zun level in a short period of time.

So, no matter how you analyze it!

"Today, I, Yang Yidao, will cleave open the gates of the Dou Zun realm! Inner Demon Trial, activate!"

Yang Shan had already figured it out. Among his friends, those with ridiculously strong abilities included Xuan Nu Lei Sheng Lei Zhang Hao and Zhu Li from the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Then there's senior Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ziyan!

No matter who it was, Yang Shan had a terrible headache.

When Yang Shan was breaking through the inner demon trial of the Dou Zong realm, he encountered Xiao Xun'er.

Although Xiao Xun'er's cultivation was weakened in the Inner Demon Trial Realm, she was still very decisive in her actions.

It's impossible to expect the other party to go easy on us.

Encountering these four would surely be a fierce battle.

But if it's not one of these four, then I'm sorry!

Yang Shan felt confident that he had a sure win!

Surely we won't run into Medicine Venerable Yao Chen?

The old medicine master hasn't reconstructed his body yet!

Yang Shan's gaze shifted several times.

High mountains and flowing water, a hundred flowers in bloom, deer grazing with their heads down, and foxes and squirrels frolicking in the forest.

The environment in this valley is breathtaking.

But Yang Shan's expression gradually stiffened.

Why am I in this place?

He knows it all too well!

This is the secret realm where I last broke through to the Dou Zong realm and experienced the inner demon trial!

"No way!"

If Yang Shan were to encounter Xiao Xun'er again, he wouldn't know how to fight her!

Even if Xiao Xun'er's cultivation level is suppressed to the peak of Dou Zong, her Dou skills should still be fully inherited!

The Emperor Seal Technique, which is comparable to a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, cannot be used due to the limitation of cultivation level, so the Ancient Emperor Seal should be able to be forcibly used, right?

Yang Shan looked up at the cliff edge upstream of the waterfall.

A white robe swayed in the wind.

Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

That broad back didn't look like Xiao Xun'er at all.

At this moment, the white-robed figure seemed to be surveying his surroundings as well, muttering to himself:

"I've finally gotten into the mood for a nap. Could this dream be one of those inner demon dreams that a cultivator might experience with a very small chance of triggering when breaking through to a higher realm?"

The figure in white clenched his fist and sensed it:

"Sigh, this power is too weak. I can't even tell how many stars it is. Let's just say it's the early stage of Dou Zun."

"So, it seems I am the one who broke through to a higher realm, and this is the test of the inner demon dream? Ha, to make me, a nine-star Dou Sheng, fight against a cultivator who is breaking through to Dou Zun. The mysteries of heaven and earth are so profound that even a nine-star Dou Sheng cannot transcend them. So, who exactly is my opponent?"

The white-robed figure let out a soft sound of doubt:

"Are you Yang Shan?"

Looking at the white-robed figure's face, which bore the marks of time, Yang Shan felt an indescribable sense of composure and unfathomable depth.

However, this person is a complete stranger!

So unfamiliar that no matter how hard Yang Shan tried to dig into his memory, he couldn't find anything related to this person.

No, bro, who are you?

Yang Shan unconsciously opened his list of favorability ratings.

The hatred level was mostly gray, with a few bright ones that he recognized very well.

As for the favorability rating...

Yang Shan noticed that there was someone who had an 8-point favorability rating towards him, but he had never met that person before.

"Grass!"

If Xiao Xun'er were to face the inner demon trial, Yang Shan felt he would have to give it his all.

But what if the opponent is Xiao Xun'er's father?

Yang Shan's heart was ice-cold.

With a light tap of his toes, Gu Yuan gracefully descended from the top of the cliff and slowly walked to Yang Shan.

"Yang Shan, the young master of Fenglei Pavilion, the champion of the new Sifang Pavilion Tournament, and a junior valued by Lei Zhanghao, the elder of the Lei Clan."

"Xun'er has told me a lot about you. I've always been curious why Xun'er thinks you are a more talented peer than her. I never expected that our first meeting would be in this way."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Yuan, and I am your senior's biological father."

[Ding! Player, please note that the final objective of your Inner Demon Trial is: Defeat "Gu Yuan"!]
