The Human Giant

"Leopard Demon," Yoze's eyes flashed as he swiftly began to create the Blood Pills.

Ordinary blood would do for creating regular blood pills. However, Yoze desired blood pills that could solve his problems, so his blood needed an extra kick.

That extra kick was natural spiritual energy.

This was something he had wanted to attempt for a long time, but a lack of talent when it came to spiritual energy was his most significant issue. Now that he had gotten better talent at spiritual energy manipulation from one of his baby slug demons, he experienced a much easier time controlling his spiritual energy into his blood.

With the addition of his blood-contained spiritual energy, he could now transfer his spiritual energy to his companions. Even if he no longer hunted demons, he could supply them with constant spiritual energy.

This was essentially him cutting off his own flesh to feed them. That meant for every blood pill he created, he would lose some of his spiritual energy.

The more blood pills he created, the more spiritual energy he would lose. If any other demon knew what Yoze was doing, they would have cursed him for being crazy and was being suicidal.

All demons had a limited amount of spiritual energy inside their body that was impossible to grow without external means. So, for every strand they lost, they would become permanently weaker until they consumed another source of spiritual energy.

Volunteering to give up a large amount of their spiritual energy was crazy to them. Even the most kind-hearted demon would never do such a thing as it could result in their own death!

Yoze was no different from other demons; he would not be willing to give up his spiritual energy if it meant becoming weaker. But unlike other demons, his body was like a perpetual motion machine for spiritual energy.

As someone who simply built differently, he could do things that other demons could not. That included having spiritual energy that never stalled and continuously grew due to constantly conflicting with his body's other types of spiritual energy.

This was the inherent advantage of having multiple types of spiritual energy flowing through one's body. While their conflict was destructive, it also enabled his spiritual energies to grow independently without limit.

It was due to this conflicting nature that created additional spiritual energy that demons loved to hunt other demons. Not only would they be able to devour all of their target's spiritual energy, but due to the conflicting nature of their spiritual energies, they would get some extra in the process.

Since he could create spiritual energy without having to go on a murder spree, Yoze thought to himself that he should use his gift for good. Not only would he be able to use his gift to help his allies, but he could sell the rest of his blood pills to get an additional source of revenue.

Of course, for New Swampscott City, they will find their blood pills have gotten an extra tax.

After coming up with the plan to inject multiple types of spiritual energy into his blood before using his blood as the core ingredient for the blood pills, Yoze couldn't wait to try it.

After ten minutes, Yoze's body was once again covered in sweat as he concentrated on crushing the herbs into a paste using his hands instead of an instrument. Using the method that Leah had taught him, his high control over his hands, and his talent for witchcraft, Yoze didn't find the process of creating blood pills hard.

However, it was more time-consuming than he initially thought. From Lucien's notes, he was able to create blood pills in an hour, but Yoze only finished after four hours. 

"This is the difference in experience. I might be more talented than Lucien, but he has more experience when it comes to creating blood pills." Yoze muttered as his eyes twitched at the large dark red balls in front of him.

These resulted from the blood pills that had incorporated his spiritual energy-filled blood. Yet they were slightly different from what the book described them. 

They were three times larger than normal blood pills and used double the number of ingredients to create. They had the texture of a soft meatball and gave off a weird smell.

"These barely seem to qualify as blood pills. Whatever, let's see if they are any good." Yoze put on his most friendly smile and turned around to see that Gilan and Suzanne were staring at him like he was a monster.

"Yoze, are you a witch!?" Gilan asked with a pale face.

Even though she didn't have much experience traveling the world, what Yoze had done didn't seem like the normal process of creating medicine. The first thing that came to her was the picture of witches who created potions to turn people into frogs and ate beautiful women.

"Is that why Yoze wanted me? Does he think I am beautiful enough to eat?" Gilan didn't know whether she was more flattered or scared.

"Of course not! Don't you know that witches use cauldrons to create potions and spells? This is an experimental pill that is used for body cultivation." Yoze denied vehemently.

"All body cultivation methods that martial artists practice revolve around training their bodies to the extreme to release inner vigor. However, such a training method requires the user's body to have enough nutrition so that they don't become injured or, even worse, die."

"The method of keeping their bodies healthy differs from martial artist to martial artist, but food plays an important role in the end. This is why I am trying to create a single pill that will allow any martial artist to get enough nutrition without the hassle of eating a lot of food." Yoze softly explained.

This was an excuse that he had prepared beforehand, and from the fact Gilan's face once again turned red, it seemed that his explanation worked.

"Yoze, I am sorry for not believing you!" Gilan deeply bowed as she apologized.

"Don't worry about it. You will all feel the effects once you eat it." Yoze said casually with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that no one else was questioning the blood pills, Yoze secretly sighed with relief and picked up the four large blood pills. They felt warm in his hands, and he could feel that he had a slight connection to each of the pills, but it was extremely faint.

If they were not in his hands, he wouldn't have been able to sense his connection with them.

After handing one to Gilan and Suzanne, Yoze paused before handing his remaining two blood pills to Evi. 

"One for each of you, and since we are best friends, Evi, you will eat my share. Don't worry. If you can survive this, you will become much stronger." Yoze said with a grin.
