At that very moment, the worldview of Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru had become a mess!
Since when is it possible that the destruction of a Dantian’s Celestial Core Power could be healed?
Since when is it possible that a medicinal item could solve a problem, one that has no cure, that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven couldn’t solve?
But for now, that scene was playing out right in front of them.
Xu Que swallowed a green medicinal item and fell into a state of Secluded Meditation. His whole person was like a solid rock, extremely quiet, and even the manic spirit of the Celestial Core Power in his Dantian was slowly dissipating.
“How…how could this happen?”
“A medicinal item and he’s fine?”
Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru looked at each other in horror; they were at a loss for words.
If such horrific news was known by the public, they were afraid that even the Zhen Yuan Daoist would laugh at them for bragging!
“Second Miss, now…what should we do now? We’re reaching Li Qiu City soon. We don’t know how long this dude is going to take!” Xiao Ru suddenly thought of the crucial problem and inquired hastily.
Feng Lanwu looked at Xu Que’s tightly shut eyes, as she sat cross-legged on the ground behind him. She hesitated for a while and finally made a decision and said, “Go around, Feng Lanwu, and delay for a while!”
“Ah? But we don’t have much time, the most…three months at most!” Xiao Ru exclaimed at once.
“Then…give him three months!” Feng Lanwu looked toward the front of the flying boat and responded in a soft voice. If she went back empty-handed, three months, even three years was useless. This time, she decided to give it a try!
…..
At the same time, Xu Que had fallen into an intriguing scene. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the womb, surrounded and embraced by a gentle force. It was cordial and warm, very peaceful and quiet. The Soul Strength and breath of his whole body had converged to his core and was gradually gathering toward his Dantian!
In the center of the vast and boundless Dantian, a Green Lotus Seed was emitting a faint halo, suspended in the middle, surrounded by the wild and restless Five Elements Celestial Core Power. The power was crazily gushing into the Green Lotus Seed!
In such a scenario, it was akin to a sponge being thrown into the sea and crazily absorbing the seawater. However, what was terrifying about this scene was that the sponge’s absorption capacity seemed to be endless. It looked like it was about to engulf all of the majestic Celestial Core Power!
Xu Que was completely unaware of what he was doing. He had fallen into a state of half-sleep. It seemed like a dream! He was never that quiet in his life. His body was akin to returning to its original state, leaving only the shell unchanged. The interior was reversing slowly. His blood, meridians, and bones had gradually returned to their infancy state and were slowly growing up from infancy to adulthood, constantly reincarnating!
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
..…
Time was passing. Only after 49 days did Xu Que’s eyes finally move slightly. His Soul Strength was gradually coming back to life, and the Green Lotus Seed in his Dantian had a slight crack that was too small to be detected. The magnificent Five Elements Celestial Core Power had been absorbed completely. Even the Thunder Nature of Celestial Core Power that was drawn from his Heavenly Tribulations had vanished. The enormous and vast Dantian was empty in that moment. It was like a deep Void and also like a black hole in the universe. It created fear in people!
“Oh!” Xu Que looked at himself with his Mind Sense. He took a clear look and he was completely relieved!
Although all his Celestial Core Power was gone, Xu Que had all kinds of medicine to make up for his Celestial Core Power. He believed that he could exchange a few bottles of medicinal items from the System and cultivate himself again. The key point was that his Dantian was repaired and there was no danger to his life! That would also mean that his strength would soon return to its peak!
“Chaotic Green Lotus Seed, it’s really interesting!” Xu Que smiled and glanced at the seed emitting a pale green halo. Then he quickly withdrew his Soul Strength from his Dantian!
Whoosh!
In the next second, Xu Que, who had been sitting in the flying boat for more than a month without moving, finally opened his eyes! But at that hour, the flying boat was quiet, Feng Lanwu and Xiaoru were in their rooms, their breaths very stable. They seemed to be in cultivation.
Xu Que was too lazy to bother them. He directly called out the interface of the System store. He exchanged several bottles of medicinal items for restoring his Celestial Core Power and swallowed them immediately. The medicinal items melted in his mouth and the medicinal powers gushed madly into the major meridians and toward his Dantian, like a fierce flood or savage beasts!
But for Xu Que’s body, which was different from ordinary people’s, those medicinal powers could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. But with the idea of making up for his body whatever he could, Xu Que swallowed several bottles of medicinal items in one breath!
Bang!
All the medicinal items were melted into an enormous, wild, and restless Spiritual Qi, like a tidal wave crashing into his body and enveloping his Dantian!
Xu Que finally showed a satisfied smile. That medicinal power would help him recover about a quarter of his Celestial Core Power in an instant. Together with the cooperation of the System’s automatic recovery ability and the continual consumption of medicine, maybe in less than an hour, he would be able to recover his strength to its peak!
Suddenly, the smile on Xu Que’s face froze. With dozens of medicinal items turning into Celestial Core Power and pouring into his Dantian, which was still wild and restless, the Green Lotus Seed suddenly, like a beast opening its bloody big mouth, engulfed the massive Celestial Core Power and swallowed everything up!
The vast Dantian became empty again in the blink of an eye!
“F*ck this!” Xu Que’s jaw dropped.
What’s the d*mn meaning of this?
It wasn’t easy to finally get rid of a potential danger, but to end up falling into a greater danger that he had created for himself?
D*mn, no wonder my Dantian felt a little strange. It had turned out to be a petty thief?
Xu Que had a sudden realization. He had never seen his Dantian that empty. Every time the System restored its functions, there would surely be endless supplements to make up for the Celestial Core Power that he had lost. But when he woke up this time round, he found nothing in his Dantian, and he didn’t react in time. Now it was clear that the Celestial Core Power supplemented by the System’s automatic recovery ability had been stolen by this Green Lotus Seed. It had even grown more arrogant, boldly and blatantly stealing the Celestial Core Power that had been transformed from the medicinal items!
“D*mn it, System, help me get this Green Lotus Seed out, I can’t afford it!” Xu Que immediately turned to the System for help.
The System responded immediately, Ding! “After evaluation, the Green Lotus Seed has been integrated with the Host. It’s now inseparable and can’t be taken out!”
“What?” Xu Que was once again stunned.
Inseparable, can’t be taken out?
What should I do then? Keep it until it grows roots and sprouts or when it grows into a Chaotic Green Lotus?
Even if I live 10,000 years, it’s not enough!
Ding! “The host need not worry, the Green Lotus Seed is about to wake up. Please continue to irrigate it with Celestial Core Power. After waking up, it’ll be extracting Celestial Core Power according to the Host’s cultivation without affecting the Host!” The System prompted.
Xu Que looked better after hearing that and he nodded slightly. As long as that Green Lotus Seed wasn’t a bottomless pit, he could accept it, though reluctantly!
“Forget it, I’ve already used dozens of medicinal items anyway, it makes no difference to use another dozens more!”
Eventually, Xu Que exchanged for more medicinal items for a one-off restoration of his Celestial Core Power from the System again. He poured everything into his mouth. However, the situation was still the same as before, all the medicinal power transformed into Celestial Core Power and went into his Dantian and was then immediately and completely absorbed by the Green Lotus Seed.
“D*mn it, it’s not over yet? Fine, I don’t believe that I can’t satisfy you!”
Xu Que was unwilling to accept the outcome. Anyway, he had nearly fed it with over 100 medicinal items and figured there was no difference for feeding it with another 100 medicinal items! He ended up exchanging hundreds of medicinal items, continuously swallowing them all. He was pitting himself against the Green Lotus Seed!
But soon…
“Not yet? Forget it, in any case, I’ve already used 200 medicinal items, and there’s no difference to use another 200 medicinal items!”
“What? 400 medicinal items aren’t enough?”
“System, give me 500 medicinal items. If this time if I’m still unsuccessful, I’ll perform swallowing excrement in a live show!”
“F*ck…give me some sh*t…no, another 600 medicinal items!”
“F*ck! Give me another 1,000 medicinal items!”
