The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1296 - 1295: Sudden Enlightenment

It was Granny Hua who asked Tang Rao what he felt, otherwise he wouldn't have revealed such embarrassing things."No, I feel as if my body has undergone a cleansing, the foul air surrounding me has decreased."

Tang Rao carefully sensed it, giving Granny Hua a more accurate description.

"The decrease in foul air is because the wind from the fan blew away the evil energy from your body. You must have encountered some evil person recently, am I right?"

Granny Hua knew even this?

Tang Rao recalled and realized it had been quite a while ago when he had met the Dark Demon and Leng Pengfei.

These people all practiced Demon Techniques, maybe their presence infected Tang Rao.

"So, even if I don't practice Demon Techniques, as long as I associate with those who do, I'll be affected?"

Indeed, if that's the case, Tang Rao knew this playful idea might have gotten out of hand.

"Yes, definitely influenced. That's why people practicing official mental methods avoid those who practice Demon Techniques. One reason is they fear their physique will become corrupted. Not everyone is as lucky as you, able to transform into an Evil Physique, even if eroded by Demon Techniques, it's only a minor influence. If it were others, with so much filth on them, they'd have died long ago."

Tang Rao was shocked upon hearing this.

Originally, he wasn't an Evil Physique; it was only after meeting Li Qi Qi that Tang Rao developed the Evil Physique. If he hadn't met Li Qi Qi, haha, Tang Rao wouldn't even know how deep the grass over his grave had grown.

"So according to you, I have an Evil Physique, if I don't want to be infected again, should I fan myself more often?"

Tang Rao didn't want to rely on the fan for his whole life to maintain his best state.

Granny Hua was stumped by this; before bringing out the fan, Granny Hua never thought Tang Rao had an Evil Physique, especially one that was transformed later, making it a bit awkward.

"Let me think, there's actually a better way if not under the fan."

When Granny Hua thought of this better method, she wanted to praise her own cleverness.

Seeing Tang Rao's eager eyes, Granny Hua finally revealed, "You need to have your own strength surpass the evil energy within you; your power can suppress the evil energy, that's the key."

Granny Hua's words were basically pointless.

Could Tang Rao just upgrade when he wanted to, defeat undefeated opponents whenever he fancied? Such unrealistic ideas, only Granny Hua dared to challenge Tang Rao to try.

"Are there any other ways, could you suggest another?"

Tang Rao still held out hope for Granny Hua.

"None, wanting shortcuts at such a young age, you think shortcuts are everywhere?"

Well, Tang Rao initially didn't specifically want shortcuts, but if there really were any, there wouldn't be much harm in taking them, right?

"Okay then, if there are no shortcuts, I won't take them."

To strengthen himself, Tang Rao thought of many ways, but the methods he used before are now ineffective. He relied heavily on elixir pills, taking shortcuts.

Being the most cunning Alchemist under the starry sky, he could easily increase his strength with a bit of elixir pills, achieving success with another bit of elixir pills again. Though the world has good things, not everything is easy, now is the time Tang Rao truly regrets.

If he had thoroughly matured step by step, he wouldn't need so many other things to make up for now.

"Remember to report in seven days; the requirements for the next round are higher than this time, you should be prepared."

Granny Hua warmed Tang Rao up to let him know the difficulty in each assessment.

Tang Rao nodded, rarely avoiding troubling Granny Hua or posing difficulties for her.

"I understand, thank you Granny Hua for your teachings."

Tang Rao sincerely thanked Granny Hua for the first time.

Last week he disliked Granny Hua, but this week Tang Rao felt he was starting to like this eccentric old lady.

"Seven days later, say thanks after those seven days have passed."

Tang Rao agreed.

"Tang Rao, Granny Hua has a kind heart, following her might actually teach you something."

A Supreme Power finally dared to reveal his voice outside the city.

Taking out the Supreme Power's flesh, the Supreme Power returned to his own body, bringing him a sense of relief.

As to why he felt this way instead of Tang Rao, the Supreme Power couldn't explain for now.

"Of course I know, but you heard Granny Hua's words too, she wants me to continuously enhance my power. I'm just afraid that before my strength increases, those people like Leng Pengfei will get me killed."

That's exactly what Tang Rao worried about.

"Tang Rao, what's your current level, tell me."

The Supreme Power found a smooth stone, sat on it, crossed his legs, held a blade of grass in his mouth, and asked while shaking his head.

"Middle Divine mid-stage, not at the peak."

Tang Rao didn't expect the Supreme Power to set any traps for him, just answered truthfully.

"Do you know how long it normally takes from the lower divine early stage to the middle divine mid-stage?"

Now, the Supreme Power adopted a slightly more serious tone.

"I don't know."

Tang Rao wasn't a normal person, what's the point of knowing how long normal people take?

"Let me explain, from lower divine early to lower divine mid-stage, it's actually a prolonged process, at least ten years, which corresponds to your previous Foundation Establishment, whether Foundation Establishment succeeds is crucial for future advancement. Lower divine mid-stage to late stage, even the peak, requires twenty years, it's a consolidation period; lower divine late stage to middle divine early stage signifies a Great Perfection stage, at least fifty years, a crucial juncture within the Great Realm, some might not surpass this obstacle their whole life. Even if we do, middle divine early to mid-stage, at least twenty years—calculate how much time you actually spent from lower divine early to middle divine mid-stage."

Before the Supreme Power calculated, Tang Rao hadn't realized that a journey typically spanning a hundred years took him only a little more than a year.

Previously, the Supreme Power spoke of smooth progress; if comprehension lacked or elixir pills were insufficient, perhaps other unusual conditions might arise. Some folks have limited talent, and even with hundreds to thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, it's still not impossible.

"It seems I advanced ninety-nine years faster than a normal person facing no obstacles; this number is quite significant?"

Originally, Tang Rao was aware of his massive leaps, the Supreme Power thought Tang Rao hadn't noticed this issue.

"Good that you realize the gap is significant, you think you're strong, but in truth, your body is empty, not your spiritual power strong. Now you understand why your strength hasn't been increasing?"

Tang Rao had a realization, but this realization came with renewed confusion.
