Chapter 27

Lu'en Kingdom, Backlund.

In a chemistry laboratory fully equipped with various instruments.

Gazing at the cup before him, emitting a dreamy, elusive sheen that made one unable to help but fall into a dazed state, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Feng Yi's eyes.

The liquid before him, like a single whole, was precisely the Sequence 8 Mind Reader potion of the Spectator Pathway.

"'Fortunately, the assimilated counterpart from another plane is a kingdom noble, so at least gold pounds are not lacking for now, and besides, there are various treasures stored in my own vault that can be exchanged with other nobles, plus the original owner had also been secretly collecting them, allowing me to gather all the Mind Reader potions so easily!'"

As thoughts turned in his mind, Feng Yi couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion.

Indeed, no matter which world, money is always a good thing.

Although this thing isn't omnipotent, it is absolutely indispensable.

Like the potion that Klein in the original work painstakingly gathered after great effort, for Feng Yi it wasn't something he could just pick up casually, but it wasn't very difficult either.

People simply cannot be compared!

Of course, the money Feng Yi refers to in his heart means resources, not specifically mundane silver coins.

With his thoughts turning, he hesitated not at all and casually drank the cup of Mind Reader potion emanating an elusive glow.

Boom

The moment the potion entered his body, it was as if he had swallowed a madman, endless delirious murmurs ringing in Feng Yi's ears.

At this moment, his spirit reflected upon himself, feeling that twisted runes were merging into every cell, bringing endless chaos and madness, as if each cell were about to give birth to an independent consciousness.

"'Sure enough, my potion's path to advancement is completely different from that of others in this world.'"

If it were an ordinary extraordinary being, with Feng Yi's state of having completely digested the Spectator potion perfectly, after taking the Mind Reader potion there would be no such great reaction, and he would naturally advance to Mind Reader.

A normal extraordinary being would never react as strongly as he does now.

However, feeling the changes within himself, Feng Yi's heart felt no trace of negative emotion, which was exactly as he had anticipated.

His Innate Spirit Light stirred slightly, already having integrated a trace of the Fuxi Aspect with himself, invoking this concept to empower himself.

"\"Om, ge, a, roar, mo, cha, noise, dao! \""

The Primordial Eight Tones resonated from his spirit, carrying the meaning of the origin of the Great Dao, like the first sound when the universe opened, instantly erasing the various crazy murmurs echoing in Feng Yi's mind, grinding away the residual spiritual imprints left in the potion, and directly devouring them, turning them into part of himself.

As he devoured these spiritual imprints, merging them into himself, Feng Yi only felt that the Fuxi Aspect and concept within his Innate Spirit Light also merged with those crushed imprints, thereby incorporating another portion of the concept.

"'Sure enough, the Fuxi Aspect and concept seem to assimilate with this world's system, and as the world's sequence system advances, they are gradually completely absorbed by himself.'"

"'But why do I always feel that the Fuxi Aspect and the Primal Creator's spiritual imprint are quite compatible? One is madly twisted, the other sacred and majestic.'"

"'No, it shouldn't be called compatibility, or rather some complementarity; devouring the Primal Creator's spiritual imprint seems to aid the Fuxi Aspect, making it more profound.'"

"'Truly strange and weird.'"

In his mind arose the image of when he first arrived in this universe, the two encountering each other and mutually devouring; Feng Yi originally thought it was a collision due to the differing rules and Great Daos of different worlds, but now it seems like an instinctive mutual devouring.

"'Could the Primal Creator not be Fuxi's counterpart from another plane in this universe? This is a universe where Fuxi is the creator god, only He somehow went mad for unknown reasons.'"

"'Probably not.'"

Countless thoughts surfaced in Feng Yi's mind, making his heart involuntarily tremble.

But the next moment, he immediately suppressed that thought deep in his heart, and his vigilance toward this world grew ever stronger.

However, although his mind harbored various speculations, Feng Yi temporarily showed no abnormality, instead focusing his spirit on the metamorphosis within his body.

As the Primordial Eight Tones sounded, the Primal Creator's spiritual imprint was ground and absorbed; the twisted runes in each of his cells began to constantly break and recombine, wearing away madness and imbuing sacred intent, imprinting within his body.

Mysterious patterns flickered faintly on Feng Yi's body, carrying an ancient and sacred aura, as if they were about to form ancient dragon scales.

However, these dragon‑like patterns had not truly formed; they seemed still incomplete.

"'Sure enough, the Spectator Pathway is related to dragons, but why does my dragon‑scale pattern resemble the aura of the primordial dragon? It seems the influence of the primordial dragon's qi has caused some anomalies in my Spectator Pathway.'"

As Feng Yi's thoughts turned, this sequence advancement also reached its conclusion.

After a moment, he completely ground all of the Primal Creator's imprints into nothing, turning them into part of himself.

At the same time, he naturally advanced to Sequence 8 Mind Reader of the Spectator Pathway.

"'Although my body has undergone some metamorphosis, my physique hasn't changed much; only my spirit has become sharper, and my vision seems clearer.'"

Feeling the changes within himself, Feng Yi adapted for a moment, instinctively reining in the spirituality that had scattered during his recent advancement, like a veteran who had long since advanced.

Glancing at the chemistry lab's door, he seemed able to see through the tightly shut door to the servant guarding outside.

The other's scattered thoughts were easily captured by him, giving him the sensation of having read the other's mind.

"'Not bad'"

Compared to the Sequence 9 Spectator, which merely possesses keen observation to glimpse others' thoughts from their words and deeds,

upon reaching Sequence 8 Mind Reader, one is no longer limited to the surface; one can simply delve into others' etheric bodies and other mystical realms, easily reading their superficial thoughts and influencing people's hearts.

"'For me, the Primal Creator's spiritual imprints have all been ground up and turned into part of my strength; in the future, digesting potions will be something I can do at will, and I need not worry about madness or loss of control, so'"

Thinking of this, Feng Yi's mind conjured the formula for the Sequence 7 Psychologist potion of the Spectator Pathway, and he thought to himself: 'Next I need to gather the Sequence 7 Psychologist potion; upon reaching Sequence 7, one belongs to the middle sequences, and various potion ingredients are no longer something I can casually find in my original owner's treasury—I must plan carefully.'

"'However, for this body, any problem that can be solved with gold pounds is not really a problem for now; it just takes some time.'"

With his thoughts turning, Feng Yi suddenly recalled the member of the Psychic Alchemy Society who had taught him occult knowledge—that person was precisely a Sequence 7 Psychologist of the Spectator Pathway.

In this world, there are two laws: the Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics and the Law of Indestructibility.

All things share a common origin; everything comes from the Primal Creator, so extraordinary characteristics neither decrease nor increase, nor are they destroyed; they merely transfer from one object to another.

Thus, each extraordinary being is equivalent to a moving piece of extraordinary characteristic.

"'Forget it; after all, he taught me occult knowledge for so long, he hasn't offended me yet, so I shouldn't do that, and it also doesn't match my nature.'"

His thoughts, having scattered uncontrollably due to the recent advancement, after an unknown period Feng Yi finally came to himself completely, perfectly mastering all the changes after his advancement, and his breath was fully restrained.

At this point, even if other extraordinary beings stood before him, they could not detect that he had just advanced.

At that moment, his spiritual sense twitched, as if sensing something, and he chuckled lowly: 'Just like a pillow arriving when drowsiness strikes.'

After tidying up the chemistry lab and clearing away excess traces, Feng Yi opened the door and walked out.
