["Vermilion Bird Ancestor, you needn't worry. To be honest, I have a younger sister who has no innate talent and cannot cultivate, and she has been frail and sickly since childhood. An old physician said my sister's vitality is nearly exhausted. I am going to the Holy Lands on this journey to try my luck, to see if there is any healing method. Sigh, I suppose there is no method in this world that can enhance the constitution of a mortal who cannot cultivate..."]

[Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird's eyes, which flickered like flames, widened.]

["There is! There is, Benefactor! The Body Refining arts of our Demon Tribe are unparalleled under heaven. Throughout all the myriad races of the Void Realm, they are a leading method!"]

[The previously obtained trait "My Knowledge Has Become a Jumbled Mess" allows you to ignore Bloodline and race limitations when learning techniques.]

[And what the Demon Tribe excels at most is Body Refining arts.]

[Their strong physiques are partly due to racial talents, but the cultivation techniques they practice later in life also serve to enhance and amplify these innate racial talents.]

[If you want to gather the strengths of a hundred schools, how can you miss the Body Refining arts of the Demon Tribe?]

[Hearing the Vermilion Bird say this, you revealed a look of pleasant surprise, but then your expression changed repeatedly, with a subtlety that deserved an Oscar little gold statue.]

["My sister has no innate talent, she can't even cultivate human race techniques, so how could she learn Demon Tribe techniques?"]

[The Vermilion Bird explained.]

[Of course, Demon Tribe Body Refining arts can only be cultivated by the Demon Tribe.]

[For the Demon Tribe, they can increase their realm through practicing the techniques.]

[But if one only wants to strengthen the body and improve the constitution, anyone can achieve this effect through diligent practice of the foundational chapters within the Body Refining arts.]

[Of course, this kind of "constitution improvement" is only relative to mortals. For example, making a person with weak vitality have more yang energy. It cannot achieve the powerful physique of a cultivator.]

[You began your three refusals and three acceptances again.]

["I saved people not for repayment, no need to say more!"]

["Since it is a secret technique of the Demon Tribe, how can I accept it?"]

["It seems if I don't accept it today, the Vermilion Bird Ancestor will not let it go. Very well, very well..."]

["The Vermilion Bird Flame Scripture."]

[This was the Body Refining art of the Vermilion Bird lineage.]

[Demon Tribe Body Refining arts not only restrict by race, but also by Bloodline.]

[Even within the Demon Tribe, if one does not possess the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, they cannot cultivate it.]

[What the Vermilion Bird gave you was a huge stone carving, inscribed with the technique's text in the Demon Tribe language, along with some demonstration diagrams.]

[The Vermilion Bird still had matters to attend to. After thanking you profusely again, he had Hong Luan stay behind to translate the technique for you.]

["Benefactor, if your younger sister needs to strengthen her body using this art, she actually only needs to look at this line here..."]

[You followed along very seriously as Hong Luan taught you.]

[But in truth, you could understand all these characters.]

[One must commit fully to the act, after all.]

["You're saying there are also the 'Azure Dragon Thunder Scripture,' the 'Black Tortoise Earth Scripture,' and the 'White Tiger Wind Scripture,' collectively known as the Four Great Body Refining Arts of the Demon Tribe?"]

[Hong Luan, looking at your handsome face, said with a blush.]

["Yes."]

["If one could cultivate all four simultaneously, would the effects of the four Body Refining arts stack?"]

["Of course they can."]

["These Body Refining arts restrict by Bloodline. How do you know their effects can stack? Has anyone cultivated them simultaneously before?"]

["Yes. Mother said the former Demon Emperor could cultivate all four Body Refining arts simultaneously."]

["Impressive. No wonder he was the Demon Emperor."]

[You thought to yourself, you could also cultivate all four simultaneously.]

[Does that make me equal to the Demon Emperor?]

[Later, your conversation turned to the Forbidden Land of the Great Wastes.]

[Hong Luan told you that the Forbidden Land itself doesn't actually cover a large area, being only around the Hundred Death Mountains.]

[But when the Forbidden Land Riot begins, the area of this life-forbidden zone rapidly expands, continuously spreading.] 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

[That darkness devours all living beings. Only Demon Tribe members at the Martial King realm or above can protect themselves within it.]

["When will this Forbidden Land Riot end?"]

["Hard to say. The duration of each Forbidden Land Riot is uncertain, sometimes long, sometimes short."]

[You decided to stay temporarily and wait for a while to see.]

[Fourth year, twenty-three years old.]

[Drawing trait...]

[Draw successful!]

["Human Outline Master" (White Common): Your shooting skills are unmatched; every shot misses its target.]

[Adjust trait?]

[Yes/No]

[You replaced "Badminton Expert" with "Treasure-Sniffing Nose."]

[You waited for a year in the vast sea of forests.]

[The Forbidden Land Riot stopped expanding its range, but those dark storms did not dissipate.]

[When you tried to cross over from high altitude, this darkness would follow you. Going around from above was not feasible.]

[The same applied underground.]

[You also tried riding the Nine Provinces Cauldron through the darkness.]

[It was somewhat effective.]

[You could penetrate deep into the darkness.]

[But once the Nine Provinces Cauldron stayed in the darkness for too long, that dark energy would also seep into the Cauldron Realm.]

[Although not much, the effect on Da Chun seemed significant. You felt Da Chun was very uncomfortable, so you simply gave up.]

[Hong Luan accompanied you throughout this year.]

[You understood her feelings, but you kept your distance from her.]

[During idle moments, you would tell her stories like "A Chinese Ghost Story," "Legend of the White Snake," and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."]

[Thus, you indirectly hinted to her that love between different races never has a good outcome.]

[Whether she understood or not was unclear, but the more she listened to these stories, the more she admired you.]

[Fifth year, twenty-four years old.]

[Drawing trait...]

[Draw successful!]

["Asian Evil Art" (Green Rare): You are proficient in makeup skills and can use local materials, creating realistic makeup with the most rudimentary tools.]

[Adjust trait?]

[Yes/No]

"Oh? This could be considered a low-grade version of a disguise technique. But it probably can't evade Divine Sense detection, since it doesn't change facial features. It's not as good as the Starry Domains' Beauty Liquid."

This trait was worth noting, but currently, Chen Yi had no slot to provide for it.

[Another year passed.]

[Your patience gradually wore thin.]

["It seems the only option is to take a detour through the Starry Domains."]

[The Starry Domains were probably still issuing warrants for the epic-level thief who stole the Star Source and the Qiankun Mirror. Going to the Starry Domains was a risky move.]

[Right at this moment, "Treasure-Sniffing Nose" had a reaction.]

["A Supreme Treasure?"]

[Over these two years at the edge of the Forbidden Land Riot, you had wandered around quite a bit.]

[You had discovered some of those ancient human race ruins from thirty thousand years ago, but not a whiff of any Supreme Treasure.]

[Today, there was suddenly a discovery.]

["It should be someone bringing a Supreme Treasure here."]

[You flew over, following the scent.]

[Hong Luan followed curiously by your side.]

[The scent of the Supreme Treasure was not far from you.]

[As you flew in that direction, Hong Luan warned you.]

["Benefactor! Flying further ahead will bring you close to the Hundred Death Mountains! That's the center of the forbidden zone, an absolute life-forbidden area with great terror!"]

[That's what she said, but as you got closer, the Supreme Treasure scent could be distinguished as coming from two sources.]

[This meant there were two Supreme Treasures in this place!]

[How could you not go take a look?]
