Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Several of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques have flaws. For example, the "Feng Hou Qi Men" is something that almost any sorcerer can practice, but most people end up going crazy trying to master it. Only Wang Ye succeeded. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this cannot be considered a flaw of the "Feng Hou Qi Men," but rather a flaw of the sorcerer himself.

The profession of sorcerer is inherently demanding, and many sorcerers are prone to driving themselves insane. "Feng Hou Qi Men" simply demands even more and is even more likely to drive people insane.

The other eight extraordinary skills are similar; they may seem to have flaws, but as long as they meet certain requirements, those flaws cease to be flaws.

Although this is just Lin Yu's guess, it is very likely.

"You're right to some extent. The 'Six Treasures of Immortal Thieves' doesn't actually have any flaws; it's just that the environment is flawed."

Baron was somewhat surprised. This person was indeed extraordinary; he could guess some things even without having read "The Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves".

"Oh, you mean the 'Six Treasures of Immortal Thieves' itself has no flaws, but the current environment creates the flaws?"

Lin Yu's eyes flashed, and he had already guessed the reason for the defect.

"That's right. After successfully cultivating the 'Six Treasures Immortal Thief,' one can devour the Qi of Heaven and Earth to strengthen oneself. Ordinary food cannot compare with the Qi of Heaven and Earth. If a cultivator only eats ordinary food, he will not be able to feel full and will feel hungry. The longer this goes on, the more serious the situation will become."

"Normally, absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth should be enough to satisfy hunger, but perhaps due to changes in the environment, the Qi of Heaven and Earth is no longer sufficient. Only the innate Qi within the human body can satisfy hunger, which is why those who cultivate this technique crave cannibalism."

"At first I didn't notice this and thought it was indeed a flaw in the technique. But as time went on, I discovered that the desire to eat people was simply due to hunger. Because there is innate Qi in the human body, if there is a food whose quality is close to or exceeds that of innate Qi, then there is no need to eat people to be full."

"So I ventured everywhere, hoping to find this food, but unfortunately I found nothing. However, it wasn't all for naught. In certain special places, after consuming the Qi of heaven and earth, I actually felt a sense of fullness. In those places, the quality of Qi was higher than in other places!"

"Only then did I realize that there's no need to search for food of higher quality than innate Qi. The omnipresent Qi of Heaven and Earth is just that—it. But perhaps due to environmental changes, the quality of Qi in this era is insufficient. If it were hundreds or thousands of years ago, the 'Six Treasuries Immortal Thief' would have been the perfect cultivation method!"

[As expected, that's the reason!]

Lin Yu had once speculated why the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief" technique had the side effect of eating people, unless it was created with the purpose of eating people, but that was obviously impossible.

Since it's not due to the cultivation technique, it can only be because there's a special substance in the human body that the Six Treasures Immortal Thief needs.

This substance is undoubtedly the innate Qi. Apart from this, there is not much difference between humans and other wild animals.

The quality of the innate Qi is very high, so it is normal that the "Six Treasuries Immortal Thief" needs it. However, the "Six Treasuries Immortal Thief" was probably not created with the purpose of the innate Qi.

The Six Treasures Immortal Thief's ability is to absorb and digest. So, what did the Six Treasures Immortal Thief want to absorb in the first place?

The answer to this question is very clear. As Baron just said, what the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief" wants to absorb is the "Qi of Heaven and Earth".

But this presents a paradox: if the quality of Qi in the world is insufficient now, why did Ruan Feng create this cultivation method in this era? Or was this cultivation method not created by Ruan Feng at all?

There's a theory that the Eight Extraordinary Techniques weren't created by those eight people; they simply obtained these eight techniques. Perhaps that's true.

......

"Now you understand, right? The flaws in the 'Six Treasures of Immortal Thieves' are irreparable!"

Baron told Lin Yu that he was convinced that this defect was irreparable unless he could go back a thousand years.

"That's not necessarily true."

Lin Yu chuckled, and then a fist-sized piece of meat appeared in his hand.

"What kind of meat is this...?"

Looking at the piece of meat in Lin Yu's hand, Baron was quite surprised. He was a man of wide experience and had eaten countless animals, including many that people had never even heard of. But now he couldn't tell what kind of animal this piece of meat was.

Furthermore, the aroma emanating from this piece of meat was similar to that of a human body, but he was absolutely certain that this piece of meat was not human flesh!

"Dragon meat...try it."

Lin Yu tossed the meat to Baron.

For cultivators of the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief," human flesh is of high quality because it contains innate Qi. This piece of dragon flesh comes from a pure dragon at the peak of the third rank, and its quality is countless times that of ordinary human flesh. Even if it does not contain innate Qi, its effects should not be worse than human flesh.

"Dragon meat?"

Baron took the piece of meat, not believing Lin Yu's statement. There was no such thing as a dragon in this world, and even if there were, who could hunt and kill it?

However, looking at the piece of meat, Baron couldn't help but swallow. His willpower was naturally very strong. If it were human flesh, he would not even glance at it. But this piece of meat was not human flesh, but it seemed to be more delicious than human flesh!

[Whatever kind of meat it is, it's not human flesh!]

The aroma wafted continuously from the piece of meat in his hand, and Baron could no longer resist, so he took a bite.

Although it was raw meat, for Baron, who possessed the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief," there was no difference between raw and cooked meat.

He took a bite, chewed, and swallowed. Baron felt an unparalleled deliciousness and even wondered if he could still control himself from eating people if this piece of meat was human flesh.

"How are you? Do you feel full?"

Seeing that Baron had finished eating, Lin Yu quickly asked.

Although Lin Yu believed that dragon meat would likely work, it was only a guess and could not be completely certain. Perhaps for the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief," Qi was special and could not be compensated for by anything else.

"I feel full, but I'm still not full. I'll probably need two more pieces to feel full."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile, and casually tossed two more pieces of dragon meat to Baron.

If it works, then Lin Yu can focus on cultivating the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief" without worry.

After taking the two pieces of dragon meat, Barron finished them off in no time, experiencing the happiness of being full for the first time in his life.

Before he cultivated the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief", he had never been hungry, so he never felt that being full was a blessing. Now, he deeply understands how happy it is to be able to eat his fill!

"Where does this...dragon meat come from? How can one obtain it?"

Hunger is a very painful thing, but eating people is also unacceptable to Baron. So for many years, he has never eaten people by relying on his willpower, but he can't guarantee that he can do it in the future. If he had this dragon meat, he would never have to worry about eating people or going hungry again.
