Although it was a good thing to be able to train a visual technique, there was no joy in Aiden's eyes.
"Red-headed ghost, my Inner Core is already crippled and I can't store any internal energy in my body. How do I train a visual technique?" Aiden asked with a frown.
The red-headed ghost waved it off casually. "It's fine, you don't need internal energy to train this visual technique."
There was no need for internal energy?
Aiden froze for a moment.
At Martial Grandmaster realm, martial artists trained their Essence Spirits and could make use of divine powers to train.
However, before that, they had to make use of internal energy for any spirit art and secret skill – that was where their foundation was.
How could there be a secret skill that did not require internal energy to train?
Unless… it wasn't a secret skill for mortals.
For his draconic training, Aiden did not require internal energy as a foundation.
Frowning, he asked, "What is required to train if not internal energy?"
No matter the type of training, energy would not appear out of thin air.
Draconic training required the consumption of flesh.
Regular training required the absorption of internal energy into one's body.
The visual technique would definitely have to make use of something to refine both eyes.
The red-headed ghost stared at the rising, heating sun not far away and said coolly, "Using that!"
Aiden's heart skipped a beat and a look of shock spread across his face.
Train his eyes by using the blazing sun?
Ordinary martial artists are not able to stare at the blazing sun for prolonged periods of time.
Although Aiden could glare at the sun after clearing his seven orifices, it would still be akin to setting himself on fire if he wanted to make use of the energy of the blazing sun to train his eyes!
"Initially, I did not intend on imparting this visual technique to you because the training process is indeed extremely dangerous. A single mistake would cause one of your eyes to go blind!"
The red-headed ghost picked up the Illumination Stone and handed it back to Aiden. "However, I discovered this within you."
"You have the Illumination Stone with you. As such, the success rate of training this visual technique will be extremely high and your efforts will be halved!"
When he heard that, Aiden gradually came to a realization.
The visual technique was comprehended by an expert of the past using the Illumination Stone.
Now that the Illumination Stone was in his possession, it would be much easier to train the visual technique with a significant decrease in risk.
Aiden received the Illumination Stone.
Similar to before, the white cobblestone vanished in his hands once more.
Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his mind and his right eye turned milky white and sinister. A moment later, it returned to normal.
"The blazing sun above us was formed from a trickle of energy from Illumination. By making use of the blazing sun, you can nurture Extreme Dark energy in your eyes!"
The red-headed ghost said darkly, "Once released, that energy will be able to incinerate all living beings and destroy everything!"
In truth, Aiden could already imagine the might of the visual technique without the red-headed ghost's elaboration.
Normally, demons would have to advance to the Martial Grandmaster realm and train their Essence Spirits before they could absorb the essence of the sun and moon for training purposes.
But now, he had only just formed his Inner Core.
In other words, it meant that his Inner Core realm would already be tapping into a higher level of energy!
"When trained to its peak, this visual technique is… hehe!"
The red-headed ghost chuckled oddly. "One of your eyes will turn into a sun!"
Psst!
Aiden gasped.
There was a blazing sun hidden in his socket.
The moment his eye was opened, a blazing sun would appear!
Once released, that might be a power that even emperors wouldn't be able to withstand?
Immediately after, Aiden remembered the doubt he had initially.
Since it did not require internal energy and made use of the sun to train, rather than a mortal training technique, it seemed more like a divine formulation of the fiend demons.
Suddenly, Aiden asked, "Red-headed ghost, this visual technique is not a secret skill of mortals, right?"
"What do you care for? Are you not going to train it if it's a secret skill of the demons?"
The red-headed ghost rolled his eyes and scoffed coldly. "Hmph, you're about to train into a true fiend demon yourself anyway, so what are you bothered about?"
Aiden replied indifferently, "Although I conduct demonic training, I'm not a demon."
"Hehe!"
The red-headed ghost sneered, "Your mortal Inner Core is already crippled and you've only got a demon's Inner Core left in your body. Who would believe you if you said that you were a mortal?"
Aiden remained silent.
A moment later, he asked in a seemingly casual manner, "What's the name of this visual technique?"
Raising his brow, the red-headed ghost looked at Aiden in deep thought. As though he read the latter's intentions, he chuckled. "Let's call it Illumination Eye!"
Wily fox!
Aiden cursed internally.
He had already sensed vaguely that the red-headed ghost had a strange identity. In reality, he was also trying to deduce something by asking about the name of the visual technique.
To think that the red-headed ghost did not let anything slip.
Illumination Eye was clearly a name he had just made up.
After the red-headed ghost imparted the prayer of the visual technique secret skill to Aiden, he instructed, "Although you have the Illumination Stone, you have to be careful when you train!"
"The best timings to train are at dawn and dusk. If you train in the afternoon when the power of the sun is at its peak, your eyes won't be able to take it and it will hinder your progress."
Aiden remembered everything to heart.
This was something that he had to be careful about or it would be too late for regrets if he went blind.
A while later, after Aiden ensured that he left nothing out, he got up and headed to the front yard.
The little fox stood nearby with a dazed gaze and snoozing.
"Go on."
Aiden fondled the little fox's forehead and smiled.
The little fox was a demon and on this day of each month, she would come to the backyard for a bowl of spirit water from the red-headed ghost as well.
Initially, she was extremely reluctant and was always scared out of her wits, shivering all over.
Aiden had to carry her over personally before she gradually adapted.
After many many months, there was something that felt strange to Aiden – even though the little fox had already formed her core, she was unable to take on a mortal form or speak.
Aiden merely thought that it was a unique trait of the fox race and did not think too much about it.
When she saw Aiden return to the front yard, the little fox ran over to the red-headed ghost and propped up her tiny paws. She kowtowed earnestly to the red-headed ghost and actually spoke in mortal tongue, "Greetings, senior."
The little fox's voice was extremely gentle and charming – any male living being that heard it would definitely be filled with wild thoughts and their hearts would pound.
However, the red-headed ghost was very calm and nodded.
"Why don't you want to take on your mortal form?"
The red-headed ghost asked with a fake smile.
The little fox lowered her head and blushed.
When the red-headed ghost saw that, he could not help but burst into laughter and teased, "You're afraid that you're going to turn lustful huh?"
The little fox turned even more embarrassed and shook her head repeatedly like a tiny drum.
After laughing for a little, the red-headed ghost retracted his smile. "You're thinking that the only way to stay by his side is if you continue taking on this form?"
The little fox lowered her head without replying – it was a silent acknowledgment.
Of course, that was only part of the reason.
The other part was that the little fox was clear that if she took on her mortal form, she would most likely not be as intimate with Aiden.
Mortals were particular about chastity and there would always be a barrier between them.
Right now, she could burrow into his embrace and do whatever she wanted, be it snoozing or being bashful with him.
The red-headed ghost pouted his lips and grumbled, "Even after that lad joined the religious sect and shaved to become a monk, he's still enjoying such a flourishing love life. I didn't even get to enjoy such treatment in the past."
