Chapter 19: Titan Lord Primus [4] (2/2)
Lord Primus knitted his brows together in thoughts for some seconds as he glanced at them.
”For you, it's a bit different. You are all human mortals on the path of immortality. Physically, you don't have huge sources of weight for your body to transform. But as a human, that's where your blood comes in. You have blood that contains nutrients. This you will transfer outside. If you have no nutrients in your blood, you transfer nothing outside. And this is different from the Chi in your dantian which is connected to your life force, your life essence. The Chi is for your soul to be able to reach eternity. Although you can use it to fortify your body strength, it's only when you need it. And the strength will revert back once you stop the Chi flow or you run out of it. This strength is temporary. So, for your strength to be permanent, you have to use the nutrients in your blood.”
Looking thoughtfully at them, the titan lord raised his hands as he demonstrated.
”First, Let me show you the method the best way I can, and then, the rest will be on you.”
The titan lord spent some minutes showing them how his ability works, and how they can reverse it to work for them. He watched them as they continued trying it out until they grasped the concept of the reverse method, making them expressed their deep appreciation in a joyful state. Lord Primus noted their gratitude and nodded his head before turning towards the pond, smiling.
”Fortunately for you, you have the pond.”
He turned to look at their surprised faces while grinning widely.
”The pond?”
”What pond?”
”Lord Primus, please forgive us for not understanding. But how are we fortunate to have the pond?”
Zhang Li Qiang asked after recovering a little bit from the effect of the titan lord's words.
”Hm, I see. So you don't really know about the pond. Well, it won't be your fault. There's divination arrays on the pond, divine sense or spiritual sense can't see anything inside the pond. Unless you are a true god or celestial, it will just be like a plain pond. Let's check it out together then.”
Primus turned and started walking towards the pond with the Zhangs family following him. Reaching the pond area, he whirled around to face them while gesturing towards the pond.
”The Orpham pond. Natural elixir, body and soul nutrition.”
He paused, still enjoying the looks on their faces.
”However, the main treasures are at the bottom of the pond. The yellow-white transparent lilies and the white-striped armoured turtles. The yellow-white lilies have leaves, flowers and tubers that can all be eaten raw or cooked, any how you prefer. Mind the turtles though, they can be difficult, but nothing you can't handle. Despite being delicacies, the effect of a small portion on humans can be highly significant.”
Despite the pond being deep, lord Primus reached into the pond with a phantom hand, and removed a stem of a yellow-white lily. He removed a flower, put in his mouth and started to chew. He looked at them with a smile and offered the remaining flowers to them to try.
