The Demon’s Menu

"That's right."

"At the age of Master Mu, we didn't have so many thoughts. We just wanted to thoroughly understand a martial arts manual, without any planning."

"No wonder he is just one step away from that realm, while we are far from it."

"Sigh."

A sense of resonance appeared between the two.

After exchanging a glance, they returned to the secret chamber.

Although both had mastered the art of reshaping 'Bone Marrow', condensing the 'Acupoints' seemed like a distant dream. In fact, they couldn't even locate the 'Acupoints'.

And Jason?

He had locked onto all 108 acupoints in his body two days ago.

By integrating various options into [Barehanded Combat], he unknowingly sensed the 108 acupoints within his body.

Each one was dull and lifeless.

Or rather…

Hollow!

It's like a big pit in his body, with his Qi-Blood constantly rushing through, trying to fill these 'Acupoints', but it was too slow!

Two days had passed, and Jason observed constantly, but there was almost no progress.

"Could it be that my 'Acupoints' are too many?"

"Is that why it's slow?"

"Would eating more 'Secret Medicine' help fill the Acupoints?"

"Or perhaps, using…"

"Satiety?"

Jason speculated, but didn't act immediately.

With a peerless expert like Cui Long by his side, it wasn't Jason's style to try rashly without asking for advice.

However, 'Dragon Head' Cui Long was in seclusion adjusting his state, and Jason didn't want to disturb him.

He planned to ask 'Dragon Head' Cui Long after he emerged from seclusion.

It would be just a few days.

Of course, Jason didn't waste these days.

Each day, he adapted to the various extra options he currently had.

He constantly thought about how to integrate these options into his combat style.

Time passed day by day.

Cui Long N and Red Sleeve came punctually for meals every day.

Jason didn't mind having two more people at the dinner table.

As long as they didn't eat his share.

Similarly, both of them carried a strong medicinal fragrance.

Far exceeding the aroma of the 'Small Creation Pill'.

Jason was very curious, but didn't ask.

Asking such questions abruptly would be awkward, so Jason remained silent.

But Cui Long N didn't conceal it.

"Red Sleeve and I are refining 'Creation Pills', not 'Small Creation Pills', but pills that truly allow one to be reborn and gain fortuitous encounters."

"We've been trying previously."

"Failed several times."

"This time, we'll definitely succeed."

Cui Long N said, holding her bowl.

"The Gang Leader only needed one 'Small Creation Pill', and we've already refined it. The 'Creation Pill' is a surprise from the eldest young lady to the Gang Leader. If we succeed in refining it, the Gang Leader will have a two percent greater chance of winning the duel this time."

Red Sleeve added.

Two percent?

Jason was astonished.

It wasn't a small amount; it was actually a lot.

When dueling peerless experts like Cui Long and 'Knife Monarch', even a one percent increase in the odds was extremely rare.

'Creation Pill', huh?

It must be incredibly powerful.

Also… very tasty.

Jason thought quietly, not voicing his thoughts.

Until the morning of the decisive battle—

Aroma!

The rich fragrance that permeated the entire 'Si Hai Bang' made Jason sit up from his light sleep.

He unconsciously walked out of his small building.

Undoubtedly, the 'Creation Pill' was successfully refined.

And in the distance—

Dong, dong dong!

The sound of bells rang out.

Cui Long had emerged from seclusion.

The source of that intense fragrance was heading towards Cui Long.

Naturally, Cui Long N was bringing the 'Creation Pill' to Cui Long.

"Sigh."

Jason sighed lightly.

Though his stomach's instinct was to seize the 'Creation Pill', reason and moral boundaries told him it was wrong.

Restraining his appetite.

It was something Jason always practiced.

This time was no exception.

He turned to head back to his small building, planning to avoid what he couldn't see, and then ask Cui Long later.

But just as he turned—

Huh?!
