571 Advancemen (2/2)
With a flash, she found a quiet place and started to refine the Vital Qi at full speed.
After two hours, the two of them were still refining the Vital Qi. At the same time, Mo Wen stood up, having finished treating his injuries. More than half of his injuries had been healed.
He glanced at the surroundings. Instead of looking for Vital Qi right away, he cast his eyes at the few metallic Puppet Monsters which were lying on the ground.
The Puppet Monsters had surely been something extraordinary once. The materials used were not basic either. Time was cruel and under its corrosion, the monsters had lost their initial qualities. But for Mo Wen, they were still hard-to-encounter treasures. Perhaps he could make use of them in the future.
He walked towards the metallic Puppet Monsters and stored all three of them in the Medicine spiritual ring. Fortunately, both Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying were absorbed in their practice of refining the Vital Qi now and didn't notice his actions.
After he had collected the remains of the Puppet Monsters, only then did Mo Wen look at the Vital Qi cloud in the air. After Jin Ying and Yin Banshuang had absorbed it, the Vital Qi cloud had not even been reduced by one-tenth. It seemed as though it hadn't undergone any changes.
”How unfortunate.” Mo Wen sighed. With his ability, it was likely that he would not be able to absorb a significant amount either. So much Vital Qi, yet he could only stare at it unable to bring everything back.
With a flash of his silhouette, he appeared in front of the Vital Qi. Mo Wen took a deep breath, reciting the rhymed formula silently in his heart once. It wasn't the rhymed formula of the Nine Yang Divine Technique or the Nine Yin Divine Technique; instead, it was the spiritual rhymed formula practiced by the immortal cultivators.
He had neglected the practice of spiritual rhymed formula for a long time. He hadn't practiced it at all during his current life. However, he knew the technique. With the help of the spiritual rhymed formula, his ability to absorb the Vital Qi would surely be much stronger than that of common ancient martial art practitioners.
Mo Wen opened his mouth and a river of Vital Qi gushed into his mouth. He chugged down the Vital Qi in a much more assertive manner than Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying.
The Vital Qi cloud in mid-air was slowly reduced. It had been reduced by one-fifth by the time Mo Wen came to a halt.
Mo Wen pressed his lips tightly shut, his body shaking slightly. He had reached his maximum limit. He was so full that threads of Vital Qi were flowing out of his orifices, slowly dissipating into the air.
He took a deep breath. Two brilliant, golden suns suddenly rose in his eyes. With the help of his overbearing soul power, he once again suppressed all the Vital Qi. Then, he opened his mouth and sucked forcefully once again, absorbing another cloud of Vital Qi into his body.
The more Vital Qi was absorbed, the greater the benefit. This point was without a doubt.
However, Mo Wen was also at his limit. He could not absorb any more. He could only drop back to the ground and begin diligently refining the Vital Qi in his body.
The Vital Qi cloud in the air had now been reduced by a third. The amount that Mo Wen alone absorbed was several times more than that of Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying combined.
A long silence descended on the garden. The three of them sat on the ground unmoving. Two hours passed, then four hours went by. Time trickled by bit by bit. With the passing of time, the bodies of the three of them started to release a faint, colorful, spiritual glow. The spiritual glow enveloped them all. They gradually formed eggshells, cutting off the surrounding air.
Eventually, the largest, brightest egg suddenly began to crack slowly. It dissipated into spots of light and Mo Wen emerged from the colorful light spots.
His aura had undergone a tremendous change. Even from afar, the astonishing power from his body could be felt. It was as though he was born greater than others.
”As expected the top-quality Vital Qi has the ability to make someone be reborn. Right now, although my body cannot be considered a divine body, it certainly cannot be considered a mortal one. With such a body, my chances of becoming immortal will increase multifold.”
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth curled into a carefree smile. His eyes were sparkling and his clear gaze seemed as though it could penetrate through space, emanating an incomparable glow.
Within a few short hours, he had experienced a metamorphosis, his body going through changes as though he was reborn. If he practiced Cultivation with his current body, he would certainly not bump into obstacles as he had in his previous life. Unfortunately, he did not have spiritual roots. Even if he became immortal, he most likely would still be unable to travel too far on the Way of Immortals.
Right now, he already had some understanding of what the ancient martial art practitioners meant by becoming immortal. Most likely becoming immortal was not just a leap in realms, but also a turning point that could cause a normal ancient martial art practitioner to develop spiritual roots. That was why it was so difficult and why not many people, after centuries and even millennia, had successfully become immortal.
As Mo Wen knew, it was extremely difficult for a normal person to develop spiritual roots. The great powers in the Immortal Cultivation world most probably would also find it very difficult to do so. He had never understood what method in this world could be used to cause a normal ancient martial art practitioner to complete the process of becoming immortal. For Huatian Palace to have mastered such a method was truly no easy task.
Although he was still far from becoming immortal, this did not affect Mo Wen's mood. Right now, he had already taken a huge step forward. He believed that his chances of becoming immortal were far superior to that of normal people.
Aside from this, his cultivation had also jumped two levels, reaching the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm. The richness of his current Inner Qi had already surpassed a normal beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Also, his body had been reborn. The strength of his body was no longer weaker than that of a normal Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. It was even better.
Be it Inner Qi or the strength of his body, he was no weaker than a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Right now, even calling him a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was not an exaggeration.
