Chapter 749 - There are no trash skills in this world! (2/2)

Soon after, he said, “What Sixteen said just now was correct. There is very pure saber intent inside this lotus seed. It’s purer and gentler than the saber intent within the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s, and it should be easier for others to absorb it.”

“But why was my Lotus Blossoming Tongue skill able to produce only one lotus seed?” Song Shuhang asked. It was rather obvious why this lotus seed had appeared; his skill had mutated under the effects of the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s.

But why didn’t he produce a lotus seed the second time he used the Lotus Blossoming Tongue skill?

“The reason is very simple. This lotus seed is precisely the refined version of the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s you ate earlier. Try to slowly inspect your body, and you’ll notice that the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s you swallowed down has already lost effectiveness and you didn’t comprehend or absorb any ‘saber intent’ from it,” Venerable White said with a laugh.

Song Shuhang closed his eyes and tried to inspect his body. Aside from some slight pain transmitting from his throat and stomach, he didn’t feel any other effect from the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s.

In other words, did he just play the role of a ‘purifier’? He got rid of the impurities in the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s and obtained the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ from that?

He was going to flip the table! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Just now—as he was swallowing that ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s—he spent so much effort to endure the pain of having his throat and stomach slashed open by a blade. But as a result, he’d only obtained this lotus seed, and wasn’t even able to comprehend saber intent!

“Shuhang, don’t panic. Now, we have to make sure of something very important,” Venerable White said with a serious expression on his face.

“What important thing?” Su Clan’s Sixteen and Song Shuhang said in puzzlement.

“This seed… hmm, we might as well call it ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ for now. Anyway, we need to determine if the effects of this seed are better than the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s’s and if it can be absorbed with fewer problems. Will one feel pain after eating it? Because the saber intent inside the lotus seed seems purer and gentler than the one inside the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s… As for the ‘quant.i.ty’ of saber intent within the two, there is not much difference. Therefore, in this case where both have the same amount of saber intent inside, how much of the saber intent inside the lotus seed can be absorbed and used?” Venerable White said with a serious expression on his face.

Whenever one ate the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s, they could absorb and make use of around 30-40% of the saber intent inside.

As such, would the saber intent inside the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ yield better results?

Song Shuhang nodded his head.

If the effects of the ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ turned out to be better than the blades of gra.s.s, it would have been worth it to have gone through that pain.

“Therefore, Shuhang… how about allowing this Venerable to be your test subject, and have him test the effects of the lotus seed on his body?!” Venerable White said with a solemn expression on his face. Actually, he felt that the lotus seed looked very delicious.

“Eh? Fellow Daoist White, didn’t you condense sword intent?” True Monarch Eternal Fire asked in puzzlement.

“Don’t worry!” Venerable White turned his head around, and said smugly, “Even if I condensed ‘sword intent’, I ate a few blades of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s in the past since I was curious. Therefore, I’m perfectly qualified to be the test subject and compare the two!”

After he had said this much, Senior White looked at Shuhang. “What do you think, little friend Shuhang?”

“In that case, I’ll trouble you, Senior White,” Song Shuhang said.

Senior White laughed, and held the lotus seed between his fingers, ready to eat it.

But right at this time, True Monarch White Crane said, “Senior White, wait a moment please. At the very least… shouldn’t you sterilize that lotus in boiling water for 24 hours?”

However, it still had to finish its words that Venerable White had already gobbled up the lotus seed.

The raw aroma exploded in his mouth… this feeling was similar to the one given by the dishes at the ‘Immortal Feast’. Countless wonderful flavors attacked Venerable White’s taste buds.

The flavor was very good, and it was approaching the level of the Immortal Feast.

Full of expectations, Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, how are the effects of the lotus seed?”

Venerable White gave the thumbs up, and said, “Not bad! It’s incredibly delicious, almost at the level of the dishes of Fellow Daoist Bie Xue’s Immortal Feast.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

So that was how it was…

Actually, when Venerable White offered himself as the ‘test subject’, Song Shuhang wondered if Senior White found the ‘lotus seed’ particularly appetizing and had thus decided to step in and ‘test’ the effects for that reason.

“Cough, cough!” Venerable White coughed.

A moment ago, he got sidetracked due to the deliciousness of the seed, and couldn’t help but cry out in admiration.

Since he had tasted the lotus seed, he would now have to take responsibility for its evaluation as well.

Venerable White inspected the effects the lotus seed had had on his body, and checked the rate of the saber intent that could be used.

Even if he couldn’t condense saber intent, Venerable White would have no problem ascertaining how much of the saber intent in the lotus seed could be absorbed and used.

After a short moment…

“Eh? Not bad!” Venerable White said. “The saber intent inside this ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ is very pure and gentle, and it won’t cause problems when the cultivator is trying to absorb it, preventing meaningless consumption. The rate of absorption and utilization of the saber intent is over 80%. As such, the effects of this of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent Lotus Seed’ are comparable to two or three blades of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s. If we take into account how delicious it is, it wouldn’t be a loss to exchange this lotus seed for four blades of gra.s.s.”

Venerable White was an expert, and his words could be trusted.

“The effects of this lotus seed are comparable to two or three blades of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s?” Song Shuhang’s eyes immediately lit up.

As expected, there were no trash skills in this world, only trash users!

The Lotus Blossoming Tongue was an excellent skill!

“Little friend Shuhang, if you want to condense your saber intent within a short period of time, I suggest you to keep producing these lotus seeds and exchange them for blades of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s, making a profit from the difference in price. As long as you have enough blades of ‘Profound Principles of Saber Intent’ gra.s.s, you won’t have problems comprehending saber intent,” Venerable White pointed out.
