Chapter 478: No problem, I’m in no way in a hurry! (2/2)
Earlier, Venerable White obtained the first two volumes of the technique from that person behind the organization of a.s.sa.s.sins, the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect. After revising and improving it, he pa.s.sed it onto Song Shuhang.
After practicing the Huge Whale Chapter of the technique, a needle-shaped stream of true qi had already condensed in Song Shuhang's dantian, standing upright right in the center. This needle-shaped stream of true qi was the embryonic form of the pseudo innate true qi.
However, they didn't have any idea on how to turn this embryonic form of true qi into pseudo-innate true qi.
❄️❄️❄️
”Shuhang, do you remember those several a.s.sa.s.sins from the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect? Each of them practiced the chapter related to a particular beast,” Venerable White said with a smile.
Song Shuhang nodded. He remembered particularly well that Whale Eight who practiced the Huge Whale Chapter just like him. He had tears streaming down his face as he thought of the cruel and deadly hug of that man.
While he was experiencing Chu Chu's life in the dream, he also got a good taste of that deadly hug.
”However, there wasn't any embryonic form of true qi inside the bodies of those a.s.sa.s.sins, right?” Venerable White said with a laugh.
Song Shuhang nodded. He still remembered that when Venerable White mentioned the matter about the 'pseudo-innate true qi' to Whale Eight, the latter had a dumbfounded expression on his face. From the looks of it, he didn't know that the cultivation technique he was practicing could condense pseudo-innate true qi.
”The cultivation technique they were practicing was modified… just like the two volumes that the person behind the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect gave us,” Venerable White continued his explanation. ”Those guys were being trained up as 'true qi seeds'.”
Although the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯ had the words 'Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' in its name, one person couldn't practice all the thirty-three different chapters of the technique.
However, if they wanted to condense that stream of pseudo-innate true qi, they still needed to combine the true qi of the thirty-three beasts into one.
In ancient times, when the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect was at its peak, they surely had some secret technique to let their disciples combine the true qi of the thirty-three beasts into one.
Perhaps they had thirty-three disciples cooperate and have the thirty-three types of cultivations unite in one body through a secret technique.
Or perhaps they relied on external tools to unite the true qi as one.
However, this ancient school had already declined, and the method to unite the true qi was also incomplete.
Thereupon, this person pulling strings behind the scenes thought of a way.
They trained thirty or so disciples and had them practice a chapter of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯ each. However, these chapters had undergone a modification, and each of the disciples turned into a seed of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯. That person behind the scenes only needed to wait until the conditions were ripe to gobble down the 'origin true qi' inside their body.
At first, this was nothing but Venerable White's conjecture.
However, when that person behind the scenes ransomed their subordinates, they made a circle around all the captured subordinates before choosing the three to take away.
While they were making a circle around the subordinates, they quietly swallowed down the origin true qi inside the bodies of the subordinates.
❄️❄️❄️
However, that person behind the scenes didn't know that Venerable White had secretly tampered with the true qi inside the bodies of subordinates. Given the time, it should be just about time that the origin true qi they gobbled up starts showing problems.
Venerable White was now waiting for the opposite party to contact them again and seize the opportunity to get the complete version of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯, as well as the method to combine the pseudo-innate true qi.
❄️❄️❄️
But from the looks of it, these spirit beast crystals seemed to be the secret to merge the innate true qi into one…?
Perhaps these spirit beast crystals could subst.i.tute for those 'true qi seeds'?
If that was really the case, Song Shuhang could try to condense the 'innate true qi' once he had obtained the merging method and gathered the thirty-three different types of spirit beast crystals.
❄️❄️❄️
”In that case, should I try my best to collect as many spirit beast crystals as possible?” Song Shuhang had now nine spirit beast crystals. He still needed quite a lot to gather all thirty-three.
”Collecting as many spirit beast crystals as possible…? You have to condense the innate true qi inside your body before you reach the Third Stage Battle King Realm.” Venerable White nodded and said, ”After I'm done exploring those ancient ruins together with the other fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group, I'll get the complete version of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯ and study it. Therefore, Shuhang, you should take advantage of this period of time to gather the spirit beast crystals with all your might!”
”No problem!” Song Shuhang said as he clenched his fist.
”Next, let's take another look around and see which things might come in handy during your one-month trip in s.p.a.ce,” Venerable White said as he narrowed his eyes.
”...” Song Shuhang.
”Senior, a month is just too much. We should make good use of our time. No, that wasn't it… what I meant was, how about reducing the time? For example, half a month...?” Song Shuhang begged.
”A real man can't go back on his word.” Venerable White turned his head around and said, ”We agreed earlier that it would be one month, so it will be one month. Not a minute less.”
Song Shuhang braced himself and asked, ”Then, when will I have to go to s.p.a.ce?”
Venerable White gave the thumbs up and said, ”I'll send you there once this session of the street market is over! Don't worry, I've already developed a new type of disposable flying sword. After delivering you into s.p.a.ce, it will automatically bring you back in one month. There won't be any problems!”
”Senior, is it possible to delay the trip by a few days?” Song Shuhang said hurriedly. ”My ghost spirit is currently stuck inside the express delivery box of the ancestor of the Chu Family and doesn't want to come out. How about waiting until I deliver the express delivery box to the ancestor of the Chu Family together with Little Jiang?”
”So that was it!” Venerable White held his chin and said, ”However, I'll head toward the ancient ruins together with the other fellow daoists as soon as the street market is over... and I have no idea how long it'll take to explore the ruins. It seems I won't be able to deliver you to s.p.a.ce personally.”
”There is absolutely no problem. I'm in no way in a hurry. Not even a little bit,” Song Shuhang said excitedly… that was precisely what he wanted to hear!
”Alright, I'll need to change the plan then,” Venerable White said.
He would now have to revise the method to deliver Song Shuhang into s.p.a.ce...
