We stayed in the Village Chief's house until late at night, but there was still no reaction from Nam's body.
It was the Village Chief's first time refining this kind of elixir, so he wasn't sure when it would take effect.
Late at night, Nam wanted to go back, but the Village Chief insisted that he stay. He said that he wanted to see the effects of the elixir with his own eyes. Thus, Nam and I stayed in the Village Chief's house.
After midnight, Nam suddenly screamed. The Village Elder and I were startled awake.
When we got up, we saw that Nam was sitting on the ground. He was naked, and steam was rising from his body. His eyes were bloodshot.
I was a little worried, but the Village Chief happily stroked his beard. "This is the effect of the elixir."
From his appearance, it seemed that everything was under his control.
This situation lasted for several hours. During this time, the Village Chief was worried that Nam would get dehydrated, so he asked me to pour a bucket of water on his body every hour. After I did it, nothing unexpected happened.
Only when the sun rose did the dehydration on Nam's body dissipate. He fell to the ground and fell asleep again.
The Village Chief walked over and checked his body. After confirming that he was fine, he told me, "Although Nam didn't advance to the Monster Spirit realm, he's already at the peak of the Monster Soldier realm. Next, he just needs to stabilize his realm and he should be able to reach the Monster Spirit realm."
After sleeping for half a day, Nam woke up in a daze. After knowing that his cultivation had advanced, he became happy. However, he had the same goal as the Village Chief, so he wasn't too courteous. He just promised that he would work hard to pass the Saade Academy's exam.
Nam's promise wasn't just for show. In the following period of time, he seemed to have forgotten about the six women. He wholeheartedly focused on his cultivation, cultivating hard every day.
Seeing that he was working hard, I also started to cultivate hard.
Ever since I had tried to absorb the wild ancient energy, I had found a way to gradually recover my cultivation. As long as I stimulated my acupuncture points with monster energy every day, although the recovery speed was slow, it shouldn't be a problem for me to protect myself in the dog-headed man tribe, as well as in Rock City.
Half a month later, I opened another acupuncture point, and my cultivation increased to the intermediate stage of the Monster Spirit realm.
However, in this short period of time, Nam's cultivation didn't increase at all. He still hadn't reached the Monster Spirit realm.
Nam had been excited at the start, but now, he was depressed all day. Looking at him, I pondered for a while and decided to help him.
The structure of the demon race is the same as the human race. The main reason why the dog-headed man's talent is bad is because when the demon soldier advances to the demon spirit realm, he opens too few meridians.
Namu was currently trapped on this node because his acupoints could not be opened.
The human race had created many cultivation methods that could stimulate the acupoints directly. At this stage, everyone would try their best to open up as many acupoints as possible to lay a solid foundation for the future.
However, the demon race didn't have many exquisite cultivation techniques, especially for a low level race like Nam. They could only mechanically absorb the Ancient Savage Qi and forcefully open a meridian to enter the demon spirit realm.
With only one acupoint, he would not be able to achieve much in the future.
After understanding this, I took the opportunity while Nam was cultivating to come next to him. I placed both of my hands on his shoulders and channeled my monster energy into his body. I used the techniques from the Death Scripture that I had cultivated in the past to stimulate his acupoints.
If I had my previous cultivation, I could have done this easily, but now, stimulating Nam's acupoints wasn't any easier than restoring my own acupoints.
After working hard for half a day, I only managed to help him open up two acupoints.
Although these two acupoints were enough to support Nam's cultivation to enter the demon spirit realm, I wanted to see if the lowly dog-headed man could also become a powerful demon after obtaining stronger talents.
Thus, I told Nam to stop cultivating temporarily. After a few days, I guaranteed that he would be able to reach the demon spirit realm.
Even though Nam trusted me, cultivation was too important to him. He didn't know if he should agree or not until I told him that I had learned a secret technique from my previous master that could help him become a powerful monster. He finally believed me after I told him that I had learned a secret technique from my previous master that could help him become a powerful monster. In the following ten days, he had been suppressing his cultivation and had me help him clear his meridians and acupoints every day.
After a full ten days, he went from being inexperienced to being familiar with it.
After ten days, I had completely opened up two and a half meridians in Nam's body.
After that, I told Nam that he could break through to the demon spirit realm.
Following the opening of his acupoints, Nam seemed to have felt something. After getting my permission, he didn't want to wait any longer. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to enter a state of cultivation.
However, after just two minutes, Nam opened his eyes again and asked me in disbelief, "Duo Ji, have I already reached the Monster realm?"
I smiled. This fellow probably didn't dare to confirm that he had successfully advanced so quickly, so he asked me out of the blue.
Actually, after his acupoints were fully opened, Nam only needed to circulate his monster energy through all of his acupoints and he would automatically reach the demon spirit realm.
This was also the main reason why I told him not to cultivate for the past few days.
Nam was stunned for a few minutes before he finally came back to his senses. A huge smile bloomed on his face as he hugged me in celebration.
The next morning, he left early. By the time he returned, everyone in the village had heard the news.
The happiest person was naturally the village chief, followed by Nam's grandmother and the six women.
That night, I slept in separate rooms with Nam. Nam had finally completed his mission of carrying on the bloodline of the dog-headed people.
Not long after, it was the day to head to Rock City.
I had already decided to head to Thadd Academy to search for the beast core, so I would head out together with Nam.
Early that morning, Nam stood at my door with a huge cloth bag on his back. Through the gaps of the cloth bag, I could faintly see the dried meat inside.
Nam's face was filled with excitement as he urged me to hurry up. When he saw that my hands were empty, he lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying to me, "Duo Ji, it will take five to six days to travel from Green Water Village to Rock City. There will be ferocious beasts along the way, so you should bring some self-defense weapons."
As he said that, he took out a long bone from the cloth bag. It was similar to the drumstick that was used to beat the drum during the wife selection ceremony.
Seeing that I was looking at the beast bone, Nam proudly introduced it to me. "This is the Primer beast's leg bone that the village chief gave me. When the village chief went out to study, he used it to chase away countless ferocious beasts.
The village chief said that he had specially soaked it in medicinal water for many years. He guaranteed that with one swing of the stick, he would be able to smash the head of a ferocious beast. "
After the introduction, Nam stuffed the beast bone into my hands and said, "I'm a bit stronger than you, so you can use this."
He naturally had good intentions, but I still shook my head and rejected him.
This thing wasn't a magic tool, nor did it have any other special properties. It was just a bit harder, but it wouldn't be of much use to me.
It was obvious that Nam really liked this thing, so I didn't want to steal it from him.
Seeing that I still wasn't willing to accept it, Nam finally gave up on trying to persuade me. At the same time, he promised me that he would protect me on the way.
I grinned and nodded in agreement.
After we left, the courtyard was already filled with people. They were all villagers of Green Water Village.
They were carrying large and small bamboo baskets with all kinds of food in them, dazzling me.
The one leading them was the village chief, Bill. When he saw us come out, he quickly walked forward and took out two cloth bags from his chest and handed them to Nam. "I just finished preparing these things today. Luckily, I made it in time."
Nam wanted to open the cloth bag to see what was inside, but the village chief stuffed it into Nam's chest and explained, "There are some elixirs inside. When you're outside, it's inevitable that you'll stumble upon some green foxtail grass. If you're injured, use these elixirs to treat your injuries.
The other bag contains the gold coins that Uncle Qu Wang got from selling herbs in the city. After paying the registration fee for Thadd Academy, there should still be some left.
Rock City is different from our Green Water Village. When the time comes, use these gold coins to find a place to rest. Only when you're full of energy will you be able to participate in the selection. "
After hearing the village chief's words, Nam's eyes were already filled with tears. He choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
The village chief patted his shoulder and said goodbye with a loving expression. "Little Nam, the journey is long. You must be careful."
Saying that, the village chief turned to look at me. "You too, little Duo Ji."
After saying our final goodbyes to the village chief and grandmother, Nam and I finally walked out of the house. We left the village and headed north.
Rock City was directly north of Green Water Village.
When he first left the village, Nam was still immersed in the sadness of parting. When Greenwater Village completely disappeared behind him, Nam became happy and looked forward to the future after he successfully entered Thadd Academy.
Nam was very happy, but I was a little emotional.
Directly north of the village was the desert where I was saved by Nam.
Unknowingly, I had already been in the Monster region for more than a month. My cultivation had only recovered to the pressure point realm. I don't know how long it will take for me to return to the human world.
