Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

Lu Changsheng's heart tightened.

The virtual demon was formless and elusive, extremely troublesome to handle.

Even he hadn't sensed anything before it had already infiltrated his spiritual consciousness.

Thankfully, he had the Spirit Treasure Tower.

Of course, Lu Changsheng's spiritual consciousness was very strong.

Even without the Spirit Treasure Tower, the virtual demon—even if it entered his spiritual consciousness—wouldn't be able to harm him.

For most Divine Power Realm martial artists, or even Martial Venerables,

facing a virtual demon meant they could only rely on sheer mental resilience to fend it off.

Forcing the virtual demon to retreat in frustration.

But Lu Changsheng was different.

He never relied on passive resistance of willpower.

"Divine Skill, Spiritual Black Hole!"

In the next moment, Lu Changsheng's mind moved.

He released the Spiritual Black Hole Divine Power.

Directly enveloping himself, and in an instant, it permeated his body.

Within Lu Changsheng's mind, a massive vortex resembling a black hole suddenly emerged.

This vortex was incredibly precise, completely ensnaring the virtual demon without posing even the slightest threat to his spiritual consciousness.

"Buzz…"

Even the formless and elusive virtual demon, once swallowed by the Spiritual Black Hole, let out a series of harrowing, anguished screams.

Soon, it was absorbed by the black hole, annihilated outright, and reduced to ashes.

It was dead.

A virtual demon, unseen and untouchable, had been utterly erased.

Not a single trace of it remained.

If not for the unmistakable sensation left behind, Lu Changsheng might have doubted whether it had been real at all.

Yet Lu Changsheng knew full well that it had indeed been a virtual demon he encountered.

And he had used his divine skill to utterly destroy it.

"Virtual demons are truly troublesome. Martial artists who encounter them can only defend passively."

"Unless one possesses a Spiritual-type Divine Skill, these demons simply can't be effectively neutralized."

"I have the Spiritual Black Hole—no matter how formidable the virtual demon, it's useless against me."

"In that case, as long as I'm not afraid of the virtual demons here, Void Spirit Mountain is actually quite safe."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.

He then continued combing the area.

One day passed, then two, and three…

In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

In these three days, Lu Changsheng had already encountered no fewer than six virtual demons.

Almost two every day.

Lu Changsheng finally understood why Transformation Pill Liquid was so difficult to find.

With the frequency of encountering virtual demons on Void Spirit Mountain, most martial artists likely perished long before they could find any.

Even those who could fend them off—how long could they last?

Only those utterly unafraid of these demons, or blessed with incredible luck, could ever manage to find a bit of Transformation Pill Liquid.

That's why Transformation Pill Liquid remained so incredibly valuable.

Simply put, its scarcity made it precious.

However, this scarcity was an advantage for Lu Changsheng.

He had no fear of virtual demons.

As such, he hadn't rested even once during the past three days,

continuously searching every corner of Void Spirit Mountain for Transformation Pill Liquid.

And luck, it seemed, hadn't wholly forsaken Lu Changsheng.

After three days of relentless searching, he finally found some Transformation Pill Liquid.

"Transformation Pill Liquid!"

Following the faint aura of the liquid, Lu Changsheng finally caught sight of a single drop of it.

However, this single drop was still slowly condensing.

Transformation Pill Liquid, at its core, was a "specialty" of Void Spirit Mountain.

Of course, it could form in other regions as well—but Void Spirit Mountain produced far more of it.

Within the mountain, there existed a unique environment,

and over time, this environment allowed for the condensation of Transformation Pill Liquid.

Now, in a secluded mountain ravine, Lu Changsheng could vaguely see a cluster of mist.

This mist was incessantly condensing.

Finally, it began to solidify into three water droplets.

These, in fact, were the Transformation Pill Liquid.

Three precious drops of it.

If one failed to discover the liquid during its formation,

once it dripped to the ground, it would vanish entirely,

merging into the earth and becoming impossible to retrieve.

Eventually, the cycle would repeat, and the Transformation Pill Liquid would reappear somewhere within Void Spirit Mountain.

This is precisely why Transformation Pill Liquid is so challenging to hunt down and exists in such small quantities.

You must encounter it precisely during its formation, then patiently wait for it to fully coalesce into liquid.

Lu Changsheng waited an entire day and finally witnessed the formation of three complete drops of Transformation Pill Liquid.

He then took out a porcelain bottle and carefully collected them.

"Three drops of Transformation Pill Liquid—worth 150,000 Spirit Stones!"

Lu Changsheng was very satisfied.

This was equivalent to fifteen drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.

Which wasn't surprising—Transformation Pill Liquid was priceless and far more precious than Heavenly Spirit Water.

However, obtaining it was purely a game of luck.

Having spent four or five days on Void Spirit Mountain, Lu Changsheng had only acquired these three drops.

At this rate, even if his streak of good luck continued uninterrupted, he could maybe collect ten, perhaps twenty drops at most.

During the same timeframe, the majority of martial artists who had come to Void Spirit Mountain likely left empty-handed,

their entire time spent in constant terror of encountering virtual demons.

"Onward."

After storing the three drops of Transformation Pill Liquid, Lu Changsheng resumed his search in Void Spirit Mountain.

"Hm?"

Before he could even leave the ravine,

his mind momentarily felt a wave of distortion.

His spiritual consciousness was once again under attack, and the Spirit Treasure Tower erupted with radiant light.

Virtual demons!

More virtual demons!

This time, however, it wasn't just one.

Lu Changsheng steadied his mind and discovered three distinct black shadows within his consciousness.

The equivalent of three virtual demons.

Encountering three virtual demons at once was no ordinary occurrence.

"Spiritual Black Hole!"

Lu Changsheng was unshaken.

With a single Spiritual Black Hole, he immediately devoured all three virtual demons, reducing them to ashes.

But this experience sparked an idea in Lu Changsheng's mind.

"Three drops of Transformation Pill Liquid… and I encountered virtual demons—not just one, but three."

"It seems the closer I get to this area, the more frequently I encounter virtual demons."
