Tian Dan Zhiyuanwu shook her head. "No, I don't know. She said she was going to find something to eat."

Fang Yue looked down at Tian Dan Zhiyuanwu's big belly. "I'll have someone find her later, then you keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

"Oh..."

Tian Dan Zhiyuanwu felt relieved that Fang Yue didn't blame her.

At this moment, Fang Yue turned to Jing Yan with a blank expression.

"Ye, Brother Ye? What's wrong? Your face looks so terrible..."

"What do you think? You posted that thread on the forum, right?"

Jing Yan's body stiffened, and he laughed dryly. "I just posted it casually. The battle at the underground stronghold was too chaotic. I didn't get any good shots, so I had to find another angle to get some attention..."

Fang Yue patted him on the shoulder. "Getting attention is no problem, but don't twist the facts. Go post a clarification post later. I have so many female fans, and I was hoping to... to find a pretty one among them! If you mess this up, I'll lose all my female fans. What am I going to do then?"

"Got it, got it! I'll go post right away!"

"Wait!"

Fang Yue stopped him and said, "This isn't urgent. Let's take care of business first. How many studio employees do you have in Qingsi County?"

"About ten, I guess. They're all non-regular employees."

"Put out a reward, a high price. Have them ride Qingsi horses to scout out the location of the [Coffin-Pulling Ghoul] in the underground stronghold."

Jing Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood Fang Yue's meaning.

"Okay! I'll arrange it."

Qingsi horses were also a resource, so he had to find trustworthy people.

If someone ran away with a Qingsi horse, that would be a disaster.

So after screening, Jing Yan selected three candidates.

Jing Yan had the real addresses and personal information of these three people, so he could manipulate them.

Everything was settled. Fang Yue and You Sisi led the group to the entrance of the underground stronghold, watched the three leave, and then just waited for news.

Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, Fang Yue prepared to return to the Qing Si and practice the Fierce Fire Heart Method, preparing to break through the eighth level in one fell swoop and reach the ninth level.

Now that his realm had already broken through to the Innate Realm, the progress of the Fierce Fire Heart Method should be further improved.

On the way back, Fang Yue suddenly frowned.

He subconsciously looked down at the back of his hand.

The scarlet crescent mark imprinted with the Wu Yu Clan's [Ghoul Curse] was faintly burning again.

This situation had happened once before, in the underground stronghold.

Could it be... the Ghoul Curse was about to erupt?

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he nervously checked his own condition, but... there was nothing wrong. Only the location of the [Ghoul Curse] was continuing to burn.

Fang Yue felt a little uneasy.

Not being able to find the problem was sometimes the biggest problem.

He didn't even know what would happen when the Ghoul Curse [Wu Yu] erupted, which was obviously very dangerous.

"What's wrong?"

You Sisi asked with concern.

"It's nothing..."

Fang Yue shook his head slightly.

"But you..."

As You Sisi spoke, the back of Fang Yue's burning hand suddenly stopped burning and gradually cooled down.

His originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled. "I'm really fine. Let's go back quickly."

You Sisi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Fang Yue then opened the attribute list.

"Name: Ye Se Liming."

"Realm: Third-Rate Innate."

"State: Ghoul Curse [Wu Yu]."

"Health: 1800/1800."

"Inner Force: 2600/2600."

"Control: 1600 [Base: 1620] [State/Bonus: -20]."

"Defense: 1600 [Base: 1620] [State/Bonus: -20]."

"Comprehension: 5. [Special Attribute]"

"Talent: Breath of Night [Upper Grade Human Rank]."

"Skills: Aura, Analytical Eyes [Lower Grade Human Rank], Nine Cycle Chain Blades [[Fragmented] Third-Rate Acquired], Starlight Blade Technique 1st Level [Third-Rate Acquired], Water Sky Blade Technique 1st Level [Crude Martial Art], Fierce Fire Heart Method [First-Rate Acquired/Eighth Level] Starlight Heart Method 3rd Level [Third-Rate Acquired/Max Level]."

"Lifespan: 27 years and 2 months."

After advancing to the Innate Realm in the underground stronghold, Fang Yue first fought the War Horse Seat, and then killed many ghouls. In the back-and-forth battles, his attributes and lifespan had been greatly improved.

Sure enough, actual combat was the fastest way to improve strength.

There were still so many ghouls on the [Coffin-Pulling Ghoul]'s side. If he killed them all, he might be able to improve his realm level again through the [Realm Breakthrough Degree] method.

Unfortunately, he couldn't mention it.

Because Fang Yue simply couldn't beat it, he could only dream about it.

Compared to the improvement of realm and strength, both inner force cultivation methods and martial skills were somewhat unable to keep up with his progress.

The [Fierce Fire Burst], which had previously been used as a trump card, was no longer as effective as it used to be, but the side effects were still the same.

Without an increase in killing power, the side effects remained unchanged... It had to be said that it was a low-level cultivation method.

Fang Yue planned to first practice the [Fierce Fire Heart Method] to the ninth level to improve his inner force.

Because whether it was [Aura] or the [Innate Qi Shield] that he could obtain from learning the Innate cultivation method in the future, they all required a huge amount of inner force as a foundation to exert their true power.

Compared to other Innate Realm experts, Fang Yue was lacking in martial skills and inner force, but his basic attributes were not lacking at all, and even far exceeded the same level, allowing him to fight against Second-Rate Innate Realm people.

Martial skills were fine, Fang Yue actually had a goal.

When the Fierce Fire Heart Method was cultivated to the maximum level, he would use the [White Robe Token] to go to the Qing Si to exchange for a powerful cultivation method.

Fang Yue had originally considered whether to cultivate more miscellaneous low-level cultivation methods. Anyway, his talent was high, and the speed of improvement of low-level cultivation methods was fast. At most, it would cost some resources to successfully cultivate them, and his inner force would increase rapidly.

But after he told Han Daren about this idea, he was educated by Han Daren.

It turned out that inner force cultivation methods could not be cultivated randomly.

When the strength was low and the realm was still low, there would be no problems.

But when the realm was high, if too many inner force cultivation methods were cultivated, it would cause the inner force to be mixed and the quality to drop sharply.

Other people's 1 unit of inner force could exert 1 unit of power.

But people with mixed inner force would need 10 units or even 100 units of inner force to exert 1 unit of power.

This was a serious case of watering down, with only numerical value and no quality.

At the same time, the more single-attribute, consistent inner force cultivation methods were, the more pure the inner force would be as they were cultivated layer by layer.

1 unit of inner force could exert 2 units of power.

Therefore, most people specialized in one attribute of inner force cultivation method. If there was a profound inner force cultivation method that could be completed in one step, basically no one would temporarily specialize in other cultivation methods.

Even if conflicting inner force cultivation methods were cultivated, it was possible to become possessed and have all the meridians broken.

Therefore, inner force cultivation methods could not be cultivated randomly.
