Chapter 68: Yang Restoration Body Sculpting Pill (2/2)
Wu f.u.xiang did not have much of his life span left and would probably be dead in a few years. He could not accept that. But if he wanted to keep on living, he had to reach the King Realm. Unfortunately, he no longer had sufficient vitality to reach the King Realm. Thus, he had to seek an alternative.
The Yang Restoration Body Sculpting Pill was the best alternative. However, the Yang Restoration Body Sculpting Pill required someone with a five-star physique to be the main ingredient. That was why he had tried everything he could to kidnap Xiang Shaoyun.
Wu f.u.xiang did not wish to keep dragging this on. Thus, he removed the sack around Xiang Shaoyun. He then removed Xiang Shaoyun's clothing, leaving him naked. If someone else saw this scene, they might have thought that this old man was an old pervert. Wu f.u.xiang proceeded to toss Xiang Shaoyun into the boiling water within the cauldron.
”AHHH!”
The unconscious Xiang Shaoyun was immediately awakened by the scalding pain. Unfortunately, his screams did not matter as the lid of the cauldron was lowered immediately after he was tossed inside.
”I'll first boil you until you're cooked before slowly adding the other herbs. I reckon the pill will be done in three days and three nights,” Wu f.u.xiang muttered.
Within the cauldron, Xiang Shaoyun was no longer unconscious. However, after the initial scream, he sank into silence. He was not dead. Rather, he was accustomed to such temperatures.
”d.a.m.n it. Who's trying to cook me? Good thing I basically grew up in a cauldron. Otherwise, I would've been cooked by now,” Xiang Shaoyun cursed. The slap he received earlier had given him quite a serious injury. Even the scalding hot water almost couldn't wake him up. He had been soaked in boiling medicine since young. Thus, his physique was something n.o.body could compare with.
Even so, if this continued, he would suffocate to death before he was cooked. He started circulating the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual and started to slowly heal his injury. At the same time, he borrowed the heat in the cauldron to further squeeze out the potential hidden within his body.
The temperature in the cauldron was excessively high—to the point Xiang Shaoyun's skin turned completely red. But because of the excessive temperature, the potential hidden within him was unearthed at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
This speed even surpa.s.sed the speed Xiang Shaoyun had awakened his potential when he was in the limit rooms. As he awakened the hidden power within him, his injury healed at a terrifyingly quick pace. Apart from that, his strength also grew. But instead of advancing his cultivation, Xiang Shaoyun pushed the newly gained energy to his astral cosmos sea.
”This time, I have to increase the size by at least one fold,” Xiang Shaoyun vowed.
Compared to strength, he longed to increase the s.p.a.ce within his astral cosmos sea. After all, for him, increasing strength wasn't hard, but expanding his astral cosmos sea was. If he expanded his astral cosmos sea, he would be able to store even more stuff within. That was the function he needed most for now.
Meanwhile, Little White had arrived at the abandoned building behind Wu Estate with Zi Changhe and Elder Zhen Peng. Unfortunately, they couldn't find Xiang Shaoyun here at all. Because of that, both Elder Zhen Peng and Zi Changhe started wondering if Little White had brought them to the wrong place.
”n.o.body? How can there be n.o.body here? Have they destroyed even his corpse to remove all evidence?” Zi Changhe said with indignation.
Elder Zhen Peng scanned his surroundings and said, ”They might have moved him somewhere else instead. I think someone was here just earlier.”
”Meow!”
Little White meowed before he started searching for Xiang Shaoyun's smell. Unfortunately, a different strange odor lingered in the air, masking all other smells. Because of that, Little White's search was fruitless.
