"So, you've finally woken up?"

"Shi Liu did it out of good intentions, afraid that you'd feel down if you failed at condensing the Acupoint Opening Demon Pill, and might not think it through. Don't overthink it."

Yuan Bupu stood in front of Wang Wu, looking like a scruffy, half-asleep monkey with zero energy. This was definitely not intentional, probably some bloodline secret technique from its cultivation.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Yuan, and thank you, Shi Liu, for your kindness. I'm fine, I feel quite good."

Wang Wu quickly clasped his hands together. Up to now, he's been feeling pretty good because these three, they're genuinely rich! And they're genuinely generous, even if it's charity, right?

"That's good, but you still need to continue recuperating here to stabilize and repair any hidden injuries. Once you're all right, we have something to do."

"What is it? Aren't we continuing to adapt to the Paralyzing Poison?"

Wang Wu was quite curious.

Yuan Bupu shook his head, "Adapting to the Paralyzing Poison is a slow process that shouldn't be rushed. It's best to do it once every three months to half a year. Previously, what you did with Niu Xiaohua, Niu Huanxi, it was too frequent and might leave hidden injuries. The poison can remain deep in their bloodlines, and at some point, might cause sudden death instead of achieving adaptation."

"In fact, both Bu'er and I, after this adaptive training, need at least a month to buffer and recuperate."

"What I'm talking about is another thing, but to keep it secret, you can't know about it yet. So for now, we will aid you by watching on the perimeter. You take the time to recuperate, there's plenty of time, no need to rush."

After speaking, Yuan Bupu nodded and walked away with Xiong Shiliu as his companion, while Wolf Bu'er directly leaped to the top of the big tree where Wang Wu was crouching earlier. His method of disappearing without a trace and concealing his presence left everyone none the wiser.

With a sentry of this level, safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Moreover, Yuan Bupu and Xiong Shiliu should have other arrangements.

This is definitely a very high-level and efficient team.

In contrast, Wang Wu looked at Niu Xiaocao, Old Niu, and Little Wild Boar. Well, actually, they're not that bad either.

"Third Brother, we're fine. I didn't expect you to progress so fast, almost catching up with me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be losing face as the big brother? Anyway, no more nonsense, I need to go replenish my energy."

Old Niu cheerfully ran off to graze in the distance, seemingly due to the presence of his sister?

Ah, is this forming a path dependency?

Niu Xiaocao looked at Wang Wu with a complex expression, "Didn't expect it; you're even more exceptional than I imagined."

Wang Wu wasn't happy, "Big sister, what do you mean by that? Since I am the descendant of the Ancient Bear King, isn't it normal for me to be outstanding?"

Niu Xiaocao rolled her eyes at him, "Stop sweet-talking me; I'm not buying it. Do you think bloodline inheritance works in some magical way? Even the Nine Sons of the Dragon are all different. The Ancient Bear King reportedly had a hundred or so descendants, and not all of them were exceptional! Giving birth to a few Dog Bears is quite normal too."

"The Snow Mountain Great Ape King is also considered a Thousand-Year-Old Demon. It has tens of thousands of offspring, but how many can compare to Yuan Bupu? Some that are too pathetic are directly sent to the Seek Death Camp."

"Moreover, my father has hundreds of children, how many have really made something of themselves? The least successful couldn't even plow fields for mortals."

"Bloodline is mysterious and profound! It requires acquired effort and innate potency."

"In short, we're benefiting from you this time, and you, from your Companion Demon Vine. Without it, we wouldn't even qualify to speak with these three."

At this point, Niu Xiaocao seemed a bit emotional and somewhat sad.

She patted Wang Wu's head with a hoof-sized hand, "The road ahead is too long and confusing. If not for my brother, I might have stayed in the Great Snow Mountain."

Hearing this, Wang Wu couldn't help but ask, "Then, how's the situation in the Great Snow Mountain now?"

"How else? It's a stalemate and will remain so for a few hundred years. The unique terrain of the Great Snow Mountain is favored by nature, with an Ancient Ice Spirit Vein gathered over billions of years. Relying on this Ice Spirit Vein, the Great Ape King can exert the power of a First-Grade Demon Emperor. On the other side, there's only Lu Wuchen, the Celestial Realm Great Cultivator, who can't do anything about it."

"Temporarily? What do you mean? Could there be another Celestial Realm Great Cultivator from the Human Race soon?" Wang Wu was stunned.

Niu Xiaocao gave him a glance, "This is proof that you haven't attended the Academy. The land occupied by the Human Race is extremely vast. The area currently competing with our West Wilderness is just a corner of the Human Race's domain. If Lu Wuchen were to invite another Celestial Realm Great Cultivator, conquering the Great Snow Mountain would be easy. The problem is, Lu Wuchen won't do that because too much interest needs to be divided."

"In short, don't think about the Great Snow Mountain. Now, the Great Ape King and the Mad Tiger King are like strong fortresses, slowing down the Human Race's attack speed and effort. The future of the Demon Race, of the West Wilderness, rests on your generation."

"Sister Niu, why belittle yourself?" Wang Wu laughed.

Niu Xiaocao shook her head, "My talents are limited, I'll reach the Fifth Grade at best. It's a miracle if this pig can advance to the Sixth Grade. Overall, don't spend too much effort on us."

"Also, Pig, I'm talking about you. A wild boar can't eat fine grain, don't harbor illusions. Xiong Wu and Niu Huanxi treat you as a brother, but you must know your limits and not hold them back."

A single sentence left Little Wild Boar in tears, to which Wang Wu quickly responded, "Big sister's good intentions, I've taken to heart. I'm not just standing up for my Second Brother Pig, but I genuinely believe, in the future, its achievements won't be bad!"

"Cut it out, you can fool yourself, but not me!"

Niu Xiaocao snorted, walked away, and transformed into her bovine form to graze, their bloodline talent seems to have the advantage of turning vegetation into milk.

Yes, milk...

This is sinful!

What am I thinking?

Little Wild Boar still looked a bit down, no way around it, Yuan Bupu and the others were going to slaughter it, showing how insecure it is, no amount of Wang Wu's words could help.

Seeing this, Wang Wu laughed. He truly wasn't just comforting Little Wild Boar but genuinely thought Pig Iron Beak was not bad at all.

But extra words of comfort aren't of use right now, so he directly said, "Little Pig, could you please help me gather some Yellow Ginger, I'm a bit hungry."

Little Wild Boar surprisingly acted quite haughty.

"Third Brother, you can't only call me Second Brother Pig when you need consolation!"

"Huh?"

Wang Wu was puzzled, what nonsense is this! Are you Zhu Erdeng?

Still, he gave a dazzling smile.

"Alright, Second Brother Pig, please bring me some Yellow Ginger, but only Ninth Grade ones."

Snorting disdainfully, Little Wild Boar replied, tail wagging in the dust as it left, showing its satisfaction.

Indeed, apart from uprooting, Little Wild Boar's other talent is finding food, as long as it is given a large, safe enough area...

Speaking of, this area is secure enough, right.

Finally undisturbed by anyone, Wang Wu sat with his back against the big tree, looked up and saw Wolf Bu'er above, making him feel safe.

Then he opened the attribute bar, browsing each piece of previously generated information.

Strangely, his formation of the three Vitality Clouds in his body had no reaction in the attribute bar, as if it didn't know about it.

Instead, it gave a note: Your Inner Breathing Technique has become more proficient, and you have gained a passive effect. The concealment of your breath is even stronger when operating the Inner Breathing Technique, allowing you to stay underwater or underground for at least a month without external breathing.

And then came this—

"Because the vitality activity in your body has broken through the current limit and reached an unprecedented height, your Level 12 Self-Healing can activate consecutively 12 times now, and at the same time, you have gained 1 free attribute point."

"Due to your Inner Breathing Technique, you have preliminarily created and formed a Qi and Blood Circulation Body Tempering Method unique to you, which can remain as a Bloodline Secret Technique in your bloodline. Perhaps your descendants will be talented enough to awaken this Bloodline Secret Technique."

"Your Bloodline Evolution Level has increased by 1%, currently at 42.2%. You can continue to extract a negative resistance as your branch bloodline talent, and your growth limit has increased once again."

——

Oh, what great news.

Wang Wu basked in his delight for a second, then looked at the specific attributes.

——

In these attributes, it's clear to see that Life, Physical Strength, Basic Agility, Basic Power, and Basic Defense, along with Copper Head Iron Bone, all had a plus sign next to them—this is the effect of free attribute points, even allowing enhancement of Bloodline Secret Techniques.

As for the resistances, except for Demon King Level Poison Resistance, Cold Poison Resistance, Thunder Resistance, and Hallucinogenic Resistance, all other resistances can be extracted.

However, Wang Wu is not planning to extract them at the moment because he wishes to extract Thunder Resistance, ha-ha, to be honest, that's a bit wishful thinking.

He even feels that if he could max out this Thunder Resistance, there would be no need to extract it.

Anyway, there's no rush for this, it can be considered slowly.

The current consideration is whether to continue upgrading this Bloodline Secret Technique, Copper Head Iron Bone, to Level 4, or to invest in other basic attributes to create another Bloodline Secret Technique?

However, it has to be considered that, based on the pattern, the next upgrade for Copper Head Iron Bone will require 20,000 points of Spiritual Qi.

Gathering 20,000 points of Spiritual Qi is quite tough.
