Chapter 1023: The Insidious (1/2)

After all, unlike an ancient starship, the speed of the Voidheaven Boat was rather limited. They only found a dead realm a few days later.

Even though it had its realm barrier shattered, it could still keep off a small portion of the mixed energies in the starry river.

After the Voidheaven Boat landed, Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi, and Huang Jinnan examined their surroundings, and failed to find any signs of life.

Only then did the three of them put their hearts at ease.

Afterwards, Nie Tian cultivated day and night, channeling flesh power from the outsider corpses he had stockpiled in his ring of holding and fusing it into Pei Qiqi, along with his unique bloodline power.

Thanks to that, Pei Qiqi’s acupoints were healed one by one.

Huang Jinnan, however, recuperated painstakingly by relying on medicinal pills and spirit stones.

On this day...

Looking somewhat depleted, Nie Tian removed his hands from Pei Qiqi’s back to look for more outsider corpses and spirit beast meat in his ring of holding. However, he suddenly realized that he was about to run out of the outsider corpses and spirit beast meat he had accumulated over the years.

He frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Pei Qiqi asked.

He let out a sigh.“I’m running out of the outsider corpses and spirit beast meat that I use to recover flesh power.”

Back when he had been on that floating continent, he had used all of the outsider corpses he had obtained to refine his Blood Essence, which he had fused into the Star Behemoth bone.

Later, he had relied on the outsider corpses Fang Yuan had brought back from the Dead Star Sea to help Fang Tianyi get rid of Grand Patriarch Cardy’s residual power.

After returning to the Vast Heaven Pavilion, he had also consumed spirit beast meat on a daily basis to meet his bodily consumption.

Then, he had spent the past few days refining flesh power to heal Pei Qiqi’s injuries nonstop.

Before he knew it, he was already seeing the bottom of his spirit beast meat and outsider corpse reserve.

“Sorry, I didn’t stock any spirit beast meat or outsider corpses,” Pei Qiqi said somewhat apologetically, “I’ve got to say that you really are unique. You seem to be able to use the remains of any creature to recover your flesh power, as long as they carry rich flesh power. Unlike you, I can only strengthen my bloodline with the flesh of certain special spirit beasts.

“Those spirit beasts are very hard to find and capture. The fact that I was able to make rapid progress in my cultivation after joining the Void Spirit Society is because my master had some of that spirit beast flesh. But even he didn’t have much of it to spoil me with.”

“It’s alright,” Nie Tian said. “I’ll go ask Huang Jinnan.”

At this moment, the three of them were still separated by a light screen on the Voidheaven Boat.

Pei Qiqi nodded and deactivated the light screen.

Huang Jinnan, who was cultivating wholeheartedly, was awoken by the sudden disappearance of the light screen, and shot him a curious look.

“Do you have any spirit beast meat with you?” Nie Tian asked. “Outsider corpses work too.”

“Will a Goldskin Beast skull do?” Huang Jinnan asked, looking puzzled.

“Let me take a look,” Nie Tian said.

An enormous skull then flew out from within Huang Jinnan’s ring of holding. Dozens of meters high, it looked like a hill.

The skull was bereft of any flesh or skin. All it had was bones, within which golden light could be seen flowing, giving rise to a curious aura.

“This Goldskin Beast is still just a spirit beast,” Huang Jinnan explained. “But what made it special was that it was at the ninth grade when my master found and killed it. He hoped to forge me a spiritual tool with its skull. Since I still have yet to gather some necessary materials, I’ve been carrying it around.”
