At the instant when the pill touched the tongue, the boy's pupils suddenly contracted, and a wave of unbearable nausea surged up to his heart, causing him to cough violently a few times. The pill, now mixed with a bit of saliva, was spat out onto the table and floor.

The coughing once again gathered the attention of everyone in the house.

Vishdair was momentarily stunned, placing a hand on his back.

Chelina, standing beside, also frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Guang did not answer, taking a few deep breaths.

For some reason...

Staring at those pills manufactured by Kaiwen, containing precious spiritual materials intended specifically to control Ore Disease, Lin Guang suddenly felt a bizarrely strong sense of nausea and rejection. Even the irritability suppressed earlier by Kaiwen's treatment seemed to resurface subconsciously.

Yet, in the display of the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, the medicine had no issues, functioning as always, merely blocking the process of Ore Disease fusing with somatic cells, with no other effect.

So was the problem with himself?

Was it his own instincts rejecting the suppression of Ore Disease?!

This absurd notion should have flashed by and vanished, but Lin Guang instinctively felt...

This was the truth.

Countless speculations exploded in his mind instantaneously, prompting him to ponder various possibilities.

It wasn't until the slightly anxious voice of the silver-haired girl reached him again that he snapped back to reality, "What's wrong?"

"Hah..."

Under the gaze of the three girls, Lin Guang took two deep breaths again, concealed all expressions from his face, bent down to pick up the pill, and then swallowed all the pills expressionlessly with the Meditation Potion.

"I'm fine."

Saying that, he nonchalantly stood up and took his bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen.

However, the three girls clearly saw...

At the moment he forcefully swallowed.

It seemed as though a rhombus-shaped white frame flashed briefly in his ever-glowing dark golden eyes at the pupil.

...

A month later.

November 20th.

Saturday afternoon.

Lin Guang sat in his room, fully focused on his desk.

There, an area of approximately one meter in diameter had been cleared, with what looked like a large black circular plate placed atop, resembling a giant sea bowl.

The edge of the plate was made of special black metal, with a deeply recessed interior filled with azure blue liquid.

A faint invisible force field surrounded the entire plate, ensuring no bubbles or dust tainted the liquid, making it as clear as the seawater seen at Zhen Sheng City's beach.

At this moment, Lin Guang's hands glowed with starry colors, slowly moving in the air, yet compared to the past when the glow extended almost to the forearm, it now manifested only below the wrists.

The needle made of Void Trace Gold lightly dipped into the force field, beginning to carve gently in the special liquid.

——Three-Star Spirit Pattern [Demon Refining], the fourteenth attempt commenced.

Dozens of needles glided softly and slowly through the azure blue liquid, the liquid stirred by the needles quickly flowed back to its original state, leaving only those dark golden fine lines, like ink, extending from the needle tips, formed by Lin Guang's Spiritual Power.

As several breakpoints gradually connected, within just seven minutes, a complex and mysterious pattern began to appear and continued to perfect itself with the sliding of the needle tips.

The pattern resembled flames, or perhaps a majestic fire dragon, exactly mirroring the [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern on the inner wall of Lin Guang's Sea of Spirit.

At the moment when the Spirit Pattern began to take shape, even with the force field, the surrounding fire attribute ether started activating, raising the temperature of the room.

With no surprise, Lin Guang continued to hold his breath, the white luminescence and dark golden flame light in his eyes blending seamlessly with no complacency.

In fact, the ninth attempt had previously progressed to this point, where he tried to focus but ended up slightly distracted, causing one needle to lose sync and leading to failure.

He learned from this mistake, paying no heed to the rising temperature, and continued drawing.

The starry, slender hands moved with snake-like agility, the left index finger lightly turning, causing a certain golden needle to follow, tracing an elegant arc in the liquid.

Yet the very next second, that index finger suddenly tapped heavily in the air, shifting from the previous lightness, followed by a swift wrist flick, leaving a blade-like afterglow in the air, and the elegant arc extended into a vigorous and powerful edge.

Like a conductor's hand, every gentle motion in the air elicited corresponding changes in the golden needles' trajectories.

For a full fifteen minutes.

The entire one-meter-diameter array plate was almost filled with this Spirit Pattern, and Lin Guang's eyes glowed increasingly fervently.

He flicked his hands, and the golden needles promptly traced the final breakpoints.

Finally——

The [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern suddenly lit up, then seemed to come alive, endowed with spirituality, just like within Lin Guang's Sea of Spirit, presenting a subtly dynamic texture.

Lin Guang, observing it, could even feel the resonance between the [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern in the Sea of Spirit and itself.

But shortly after.

Perhaps due to the lack of external energy supply or some other reason, the Spirit Pattern in the plate gradually dimmed, vanishing with the retreat of the dark golden Spiritual Power.

Yet Lin Guang was not the least bit discouraged, finally exhaling a murky breath and revealing an elated smile.

Because he knew he had successfully drawn the most complex Spirit Pattern in his Sea of Spirit outside.

And the recent drawings had indeed deepened his understanding of the [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern.

The wolf-eared girl beside him, who had been silently watching intently, now gently congratulated, "Master, congratulations."

On the second day after Lin Guang's talent evolution, knowing he had Array Formation inheritance, Kaiwen had specially added a course for Lin Guang, personally taught by her.

[Drawing and Basics of Spirit Rune Arrays]

The course location was in that painting.

Spirit Pattern Theory is almost the foundation and origin of the Blue Star Spirit Master's Extraordinary System.

Strictly speaking, since the essence of talent is extremely complex, unreplicable Spirit Patterns, the Dao Marks accompanying high-grade talents can also be categorized under Spirit Patterns. The souls of Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts can be completely reproduced and analyzed via Spirit Pattern Theory.

Conversely, the difference between Divine Objects and Spiritual Materials could also be characterized by the presence of highly complex Spirit Patterns.

If someone could draw such Spirit Patterns on Spiritual Materials, wouldn't it mean ordinary Spiritual Materials would become Divine Objects?

If one could continue to deduce and engrave Spirit Patterns on their talents, wouldn't that mean talents could evolve?

However, although everyone knows this fact, just as in the past Earth's people knowing that mastering basic forces means grasping the universe's fundamental rules, cultivators in the Cultivation World understanding that mastering the Great Thousand Worlds' Dao enables doing everything, and the gods in the World of Gods realizing that acquiring the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence makes them invincible, alike.

Knowing is only the first step; the ability to achieve it is the most crucial.

And the Spirit Rune Array represents part of the manifestation of Spirit Pattern theorists' pursuit of this beautiful vision, achieving numerous epoch-making achievements, propelling Spirit Master civilization to its current state.
