The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 283: Receiving Your Great Favor, Having Nothing to Repay, Only Wishing to Die for You



It turns out that adorable little animals can indeed heal the heart. Zhu Haomiao felt that the constant stinging all over his body seemed to have faded slightly.

"Squeak!"

Opening the small pouch, Diao Chan popped out alongside the food box, jumping up and down excitedly.

"Don't rush, I've made a few extra pounds of sweet and sour ribs, plenty for you to eat."

Rubbing the ferret's head, Zhu Haomiao took out a large food box and began to joyfully feed the pet.

Watching the two little ones gobble down their food, the young man wore a gentle smile and turned his attention back to the secret manual.

After previously supplementing his cultivation technique, he discovered a new authority of [Pride]—a weakened version of being All-Knowing and All-Powerful!

But he also understood that this authority wasn't created out of nothing; every layer of cultivation technique had to be built upon the local laws to form the basic framework, and then filled with Law Fragments of Original Sin.

The proportion of local laws had to exceed 50%, otherwise, it would be like creating a new cultivation technique from his existing Original Sin powers, leading to redundancy and meaninglessness.

Additionally, the Eight Basic Forces could not be completed in this way and could only be polished slowly using the most primitive methods.

This was because the underlying laws had extremely strong rejection, with highly tight frame logic that did not allow for any modification.

Of course, forcibly altering to create a "darkened" version was also an option, but that lost the essence of the Basic Forces and could not link with the National Guardian Divine Artifact in the Yanhuang Armory.

It would just be a chicken rib!

So... the only shortcuts were in [Inner Strength] and [external skills].

With his chin in his hand, Zhu Haomiao felt something and sighed softly, gazing leisurely at the Inner Power Secret Manual in his hand.

The [external skills] had already shown initial results, so the next focus needed to shift to [Inner Strength].

While collecting materials and absentmindedly eating, before long, the two people and a ferret had cleared the sumptuous dishes.

Out of habit, he patted Zhao Nuo on the head, and under the little girl's reluctant gaze, Zhu Haomiao paced away, heading directly to the Anti-theft Bureau at Lechang Square.

............

"Sir!"

Finding Yan Yunsheng, Zhu Haomiao unceremoniously pulled him into a small dark room and got straight to the point.

"I have an ancient secret manual here called the [Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique]..."

Saying this, the young man took out a book-written volume, but before he could finish speaking, Yan Yunsheng in front of him dropped to his knees with a thud, eyes reddened with excitement.

"Thank you, sir, for not abandoning me. I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly, without regard for my life!"

High-level cultivation techniques were precious resources monopolized by the upper nobility, something ordinary people couldn't even dream of!

Once, Yan Yunsheng had to humble himself for a simple cultivation technique, working diligently for five full years!

However, low-level techniques have limits. After more than ten years of painstaking cultivation, Yan Yunsheng understood that using only low-level and simple techniques, he could practice all his life and still struggle to reach the seventh rank!

He considered himself talented, steadfast in nature, and exerted ten times more effort than others!

But the techniques locked his potential. He dreamt night after night of obtaining a powerful Secret Technique!

Thereupon defying the heavens to change his fate and soaring upwards!

Now, with an ancient secret manual so thrilling merely by its name placed before him, Yan Yunsheng had no hesitation and was ready to give everything!

Seeing Yan Yunsheng's excited response, Zhu Haomiao only then realized the value of the manual in his hand, raising a hand to reassure him.

"Don't rush, I haven't finished. Cultivating this technique involves risks."

"It will amplify your inner desires, using them as fuel to drive cultivation, providing unparalleled cultivation efficiency and power!"

At this point, Zhu Haomiao's tone lowered, eyes solemn: "However, if you can't control your desires, it can easily lead to drastic changes in personality, even leading you down a demonic path!"

Yet upon hearing this, Yan Yunsheng stood dumbfounded, mouth agape with confusion.

"Just a change in personality? It won't lead to going mad, paralysis, or sudden death?"

"Uh... it shouldn't. The negative changes of this technique are more on the soul level and don't affect the body."

"......"

Seeing Yan Yunsheng's life-questioning expression, Zhu Haomiao thought he had concerns and hastily added.

"As long as your [Dao Heart] is resolute and you restrain your desires, there will actually be no side effects."

"......"

That's it?

How about adding some high mortality flaws, or else practicing this technique just doesn't feel steady!

Having been mentally prepared for a life-and-death struggle, Yan Yunsheng took a deep breath, feeling that hesitating even for a second would insult the first half of his life.

"Sir, I am willing to cultivate this Secret Technique and brave any ordeal for you!"

Seeing Yan Yunsheng sincerely bowing in front of him, Zhu Haomiao quickly helped him up.

"No need for formalities. This is the first layer of the Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique. Try it out first, and ask me if you have any questions."

Gently giving the manual to Yan Yunsheng, the young man smiled, patting his hand with anticipation in his eyes.

Looking into the young man's eyes, Yan Yunsheng was moved to tears, as images of his past harsh and humble path flashed through his mind like a lantern show, eventually coalescing into a firm and determined light in his eyes.

Gratitude for your great kindness is beyond words, I only wish to repay it with my life!

Noticing that Yan Yunsheng seemed to commit to some decision, his gaze becoming firm and burning, Zhu Haomiao blinked in puzzlement.

"You research it first, I'm heading to the prison for a look."

Quickly dismissing this small matter, Zhu Haomiao patted Yan Yunsheng's arm and left directly.

Soon, arriving at the underground prison in the backyard, everywhere he passed, all the prisoners acted as if they'd seen a ghost, curling up in terror in the corners, burying their heads in their knees, fearing eye contact with the young man.

Seeing this group of shivering felons, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just took a few of your things, didn't I?

Was it necessary?

With lips pursed, Zhu Haomiao walked to the depths of the prison and stood, looking at a pale, beady-eyed man inside.

This was one of the few seventh-rank prisoners in the Anti-theft Bureau's prison at Lechang Square, who committed crimes across various state mansions, raping and murdering dozens of young girls, finally caught during a crime in Lechang Square.

Seeing the other's terrified and despairing expression, Zhu Haomiao's gaze was cold, like a deep, unfathomable dark abyss.

After the assassination last night, he realized that the "playacting method" of acting in accordance with the Heavenly Will wasn't without side effects.

He had inherited Li Lin's identity and Qi Fortune, while also inheriting his causes and effects!

This involuntarily drew him into the vortex of certain events, with trouble finding him one after another!

Unlike in the First Layer Heaven, where he didn't have to think too much; he just needed to eat and sleep well daily!

Li Lin's identity brought him many conveniences, but also a layer of constraint, preventing his wanton and wild growth!

However, the enemies wouldn't wait for him to develop in peace...
