"Because you have taken the Top-grade Wisdom Heart Pill, some knowledge hidden deep in your bloodline can be unearthed, and you seem to have become much more intelligent suddenly."

"This shows that back when the Demons, Spirits, and Monsters of the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, in order to resist the Human Race, chose the strategy of learning from their long skills to control them. After unifying the language, standards, and cultivation realms of the various tribes in the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, this was one of the great achievements. Through this approach, the cohesion and centripetal force of all races in the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses were greatly enhanced."

——

Two lines of information appeared, but their content was very different from before, as if the system had been upgraded, the knowledge base updated, and the mentor's education level raised from middle school to university.

So even though there was no increase in attributes, Wang Wu understood that this was something truly valuable, equivalent to carrying an old grandfather who could identify details with you.

"Ahem! This— I only did it as a small gesture back then, this generous gift, I don't dare to accept."

Wang Wu adapted a little and found that speaking was no different from when he was human. The only difference was the addition of some bear tones resonating, very deep, very thick, and very loud, with such a high frequency that he thought he could become a tenor singer.

He might as well try an Ancient Bear Battle Roar.

"Benefactor, you're too modest!"

Cao Li Heng's eyes flashed with an indisputable surprise. Even if it was a Top-grade Wisdom Heart Pill, being able to speak so fluently and at such a high level this quickly was indeed too exaggerated. But considering this was a rare Little Demon with ancient blood, it was understandable.

Yes, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have eagerly come to present gifts.

At this time, it added, "I heard that the benefactor has a name now, is it Xiong Lianhua?"

Wang Wu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then nodded; Lianhua was fine, after hearing it for a while, he got used to it.

It's much more melodious and meaningful than Pork Belly or Niu Aihua, isn't it?

"A good name, I even want to change my name to Grass Flower, but unfortunately, my elder sister won't allow it. Oh, right, benefactor, this is a gift my elder sister specially prepared for you. It's a Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf, a fallen leaf from Grandpa Tree's true form. When you carry it on you, it can adjust and change your appearance to some extent, helping you achieve better effects during stealth and concealment."

"If you're ever unfortunate enough to be locked onto by insight divine techniques, this Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf can also provide a decent shielding effect."

Saying this, Cao Li Heng produced a palm-sized withered yellow leaf from somewhere, which looked no different from an ordinary dried yellow leaf.

However, since it's a fallen leaf from the ten-thousand-year-old Grandpa Tree's true form, it's undoubtedly extraordinary.

"Ah, this gift is really too precious. Your sister's kindness, Lianhua really finds it hard to bear..."

Wang Wu modestly hesitated while quickly taking the leaf. Damn it, whether it made him less human or not, such a good thing couldn't be missed.

And Cao Li Heng just watched with a smile, persuading casually.

"Benefactor, no need to be modest. This item is indeed precious, but how could it compare to the lifesaving grace you have given me."

"Oh, oh, then I'll take it with shame. I must thank your sister personally some other day. In the future, if there's anything Xiong Lianhua can help with, Brother Cao Li Heng, just say the word, and I, Old Bear, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Wang Wu was in a great mood, and spoke eloquently.

Because if that Top-grade Wisdom Heart Pill could be brushed off, it was indeed Cao Li Heng truly wanting to repay a favor, then this Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf was simply tailored for him.

He even seriously suspected that Cao Li Heng's sister had seen through his true identity.

However, just as he anticipated earlier, being seen through was inevitable. Joining Grandpa Tree's camp was safer than joining either the South Mountain or North Mountain King camps.

He couldn't hide forever, could he?

"Benefactor, don't say that, lifesaving grace is greater than the sky, this small gift really isn't worth mentioning. Benefactor, you might as well try it first. Just cover these leaves in front of your eyes, recite the spell 'Hundred-Change Ruyi, As You Wish' silently, and then imagine the form you want to change into in your mind."

"But please remember, benefactor, don't go too far. If the change is too much, it rather won't be beautiful. The true meaning lies in resemblance, achieving the greatest effect with the least cost is best."

"Besides, if the transformation is suitable and well-preserved, it can be used for decades at least."

"Great, that's wonderful."

Wang Wu nodded, thought for a moment, and had an idea because Cao Li Heng suggested mainly minor adjustments, so he couldn't turn into an ox being a bear, let alone into a gorilla, so transforming into a black bear was the best choice instead.

He thought of the appearance of a black bear, meticulously confirming the details needing adjustment, fur color, silhouette angle, position, and so on.

This was not just about shouting, "I want to become a black bear" and immediately transforming.

First, one had to have a very clear and in-depth concept in mind.

About this time, having used several tens of seconds, even Little Tree Spirit Cao Li Heng was getting a bit impatient, because otherwise, those demons sunbathing would soon return.

He specifically took this time to come.

Finally, relying on his past life's experiences and knowledge from back home on Earth, along with this life's keen memory, and with the help of the attribute bar, hmm, the latter was the most significant contributor.

At least it accounted for 99% of the success.

At this moment, he stood upright, one bear claw holding the Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf, just right before his eyes, perfectly enacting the cover-up of one leaf obscuring sight.

At the same time, lines of information appeared as if flowing in a stream; indeed, this was the strength of the attribute bar. At this moment, the attribute bar finally became a truly incredible golden finger, like a wise old grandpa.

Simply amazing.

"Hair detail extraction progress successful, all hair dynamic details recorded, replacement successful."

"Micro-expression detail extraction progress successful, replacement successful."

"Body shape data extraction successful, replacement successful..."

"..."

"Simulation successful, item can be activated."

The next second, Wang Wu recited loudly: "Hundred-Change Ruyi, follow my will!"

As soon as his voice fell, a certain power from the leaf seemed to activate directly, enveloping his entire body. In the next moment, shrouded in a faint light, he seemed to disappear from where he stood, but only three seconds later, amidst the shimmering light and shadows, he returned.

The whole process was like passing through a teleportation gate, truly magical.

As for the effect, at first glance, he seemed unchanged, but in the eyes of an unfamiliar target, he had already become a typical black bear.

Immediately following, lines of information appeared again before him.

"You have acquired a special demon technique tool, Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf. After using this item, your Ancient Giant Bear Bloodline is concealed to a certain extent. Even a Great Demon would need to face you directly and use Insight Divine Techniques alone to discover the source of your bloodline."

"The downside of using this item is that your Spiritual Talent is passively reduced by one level."

"Friendly reminder, maintaining this item requires the consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Every 24 hours requires 10 points of Spiritual Qi. If encountering an Insight Divine Techniques, it may require consuming up to 500 points of Spiritual Qi to maintain counteraction, but such counteraction will greatly reduce the durability of this item."

"Assessing the depletion level of the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, the current remaining usage lifespan is ten years, nine months, and eight days."

"Evaluation: This is a not-so-perfect, already-used Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf. The good news is, you still have many opportunities and methods to refine it and transform it into a genuine Magical Artifact."

——

After reading all this information, Wang Wu looked again at the Little Tree Spirit Cao Li Heng, who still had a very shocked expression, wanting to confirm yet not daring to.

"Benevolent one, are you sure you've transformed?"

"Yeah, I feel pretty good, thanks to you, man, and your sister too. This really helped me a lot."

Wang Wu said sincerely, really, regardless of Little Tree Spirit's intentions, just based on the gifts sent, meant he was a good friend, a good brother to him, and Wang Wu accepted this kindness.

"Uh, haha! Well then congratulations, benevolent one, it's getting late, I have matters to attend to, I must go ahead. Benevolent one, for the assessment the day after tomorrow, I wish you success."

The Little Tree Spirit Cao Li Heng said this yet couldn't help but look Wang Wu up and down, left and right. However, it somehow didn't notice any change in Wang Wu. If it hadn't seen the Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf disappear with its own eyes, it would have thought something went wrong.

But, how could that be?

With such doubts, it finally left, as if to linger any longer would be too late.

"Third brother, third brother!"

Niu Aihua and Pork Belly had finished sunbathing and were running back in high spirits, obviously having reaped great benefits.

Just like them, they didn't notice anything amiss, including that Big Mountain Cat, the Mantis Three Blades seen last night, and Master Tu the Third.

Wang Wu even deliberately stared provocatively at the Big Mountain Cat several times, making it meow angrily, almost reaching a full rage value.

All of this was enough to prove that the Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf was truly amazing.

Afterward, Wang Wu exchanged a few casual words with the two Ox Pig, then found an excuse to wander around in the forest.

The main reason was for testing.

Before this, his fur was already quite miraculous.

In the bright, dazzling sunshine, his fur would show more gray and less white hues, meaning it would reflect sunlight as much as possible, but not with the reflective shards like glass; in any case, it was more suitable for concealment.

In the same bright weather, once he entered dense shade, it would quickly show more gray with less white hues.

If on a cloudy day or during times of poor lighting, it would show the color of fallen leaves and withered grass.

At night, it would show a black-gray color.

Now, after a round of testing, Wang Wu finally felt at ease. The effect of the Hundred-Change Ruyi Leaf was a perfect match with his fur, and the effect was exceptionally good.

Filled with joy.
