Chapter 132: Three Roots

Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

The G.o.dly medicine was doing its best to dig its roots into the ground, and had not thought that anyone would have been able to suddenly break into the area sealed off by the aura field. Thus, it was completely caught unprepared by Ling Han, quickly pulling its roots out of the ground, ready to race off again.

But this time, it was one step too late!

Though its movements were indeed very quick, and it had already removed its roots from the ground, Ling Han’s hand also managed to grab onto its roots.

“Zi!”

The G.o.dly medicine looked like it had experienced a huge fright. Even the flower that was blooming had instantly withdrawn all its petals, and even the stem was twisted and bent. But in the next instant, it suddenly started to struggle fiercely, and it actually flew out of his grasp. “Xiu,” it scrambled into the area sealed off by the aura field, and in mere moments, had completely disappeared within the darkness.

Ling Han was astounded. When he uncurled his fist and took a look, there were three torn off roots left in his grip. There was a milky white liquid dripping from the torn off ends of the roots, and all of a sudden, an indescribable refres.h.i.+ng fragrance filled the air, making his whole body relax; it was as if he was about to become as light as a feather and ascend to heaven.

This was the G.o.dly medicine!

How could Ling Han dare to waste it? He quickly stuck out his tongue to suck and lick clean that milky white liquid. Any single drop wasted would be an unforgivable sin.

‘It’s invigorating! So d.a.m.n invigorating!’

Just a whiff of this G.o.dly medicine was enough to make him feel light as a feather and ready to ascend to heaven. Swallowing the several drops of liquid made this feeling even stronger, as if all the pores of his body were completely open and Spiritual Qi was automatically gus.h.i.+ng in, nurturing his entire body. It was a feeling too amazing for mere words.

His divine sense in particular had been greatly augmented, and his blood, flesh, nerves, and bones had all obtained a similar upgrade. His cultivation level, on the other hand, had increased the least.

‘The value of the G.o.dly medicine is not in upgrading one’s cultivation level.’ Ling Han thought. He expanded his divine sense and closely observed the changes taking place within his body.

Vitality.

This was the conclusion that he had come to. With the nurturing effects of the G.o.dly medicine, his body and its vitality had obtained a great upgrade.

Any martial artist would know that a human being had a mere lifespan of about a hundred years. Only if one managed to break through to Flower Blossom Tier would they be able to break the restrictions of being mortal and gain another two hundred years of life. Otherwise, even if they ate some kind of thousand-year ginseng, it would only aid them in slowing down their aging process at most, and thus allow one to live for another few years.

Why could a Flower Blossom Tier martial artist obtain another two hundred years of life? That was because the vitality within his body had been strengthened.

After Flower Blossom Tier, every breakthrough to a new tier would mean a new transformation, continuing to gain more and more life and vitality, and continuously increasing one’s lifespan. Most importantly, there was a lapse after Heaven Tier. Since a Heaven Tier martial artist could reach Shattering Void Tier, then the longest lifespan of a martial artist was limited to a thousand years.

A G.o.dly medicine could achieve the same kind of effect!

He had just swallowed a few drops of the G.o.dly fluid, and Ling Han’s life and vitality had obtained a great upgrade. As someone who had once been a powerful warrior of Heaven Tier, he could make a rough estimate. He had roughly gained an extra twenty years of life.

Twenty years! Just a few drops!

If he had managed to swallow the whole stalk of G.o.dly medicine, how many extra years of life would he have been able to get? A thousand years—that was the lowest estimate. That was equivalent to a powerful warrior of Heaven Tier getting another lifetime to live, and for mortals, that would be another ten lifetimes!

What was the most valuable thing in this world?

It was not cultivation technique, martial arts technique, or wealth. It was life.
