Chapter 247 – Flash Of White Light (2/2)
Over time, Lei Yu felt that his internal energy had been pretty much fully replenished before he opened his eyes. Although there was no concept of time here, Lei Yu knew he spent at least ten plus hours in the recovery process.
After standing up, Lei Yu did some simple exercises while looking around. The scenery here was really quite good which gave Lei Yu a familiar feeling. After recalling some memories, Lei Yu finally thought of something. This place also had a river, surrounded by trees, and in front was a small mountain not that high. Wasn’t this place very similar to the paradise Lei Yu had woken up in when he was driven out of the Lei family?
Lei Yu was a bit surprised with this thought process, did he somehow return to the past? He then laughed at himself and shook his head. How could such a thing happen?
After jumping up and down a few times, he felt that he had pretty much fully recovered. Only then did his gaze land on the huge body of the Dragon-Snake.
The eyes of the Dragon-Snake were closed. With such a huge body, Lei Yu temporarily didn’t know where to start. He started looking all over the huge body. Even though every part of the snake was considered a treasure, there’s no way he can take everything. If he did covet everything, it would most like take a long time for him to take it all. By that time, he was afraid when he truly did find something extremely valuable; the body would be at the decomposition stage and stink up the entire area.
Lei Yu took out the Sky Devouring Sword from his storage ring and then jumped over the Dragon-Snake’s body to the other side. Waving the sword, he started slicing off the scales on the snake. Blood started coming out like it was pouring out from a barrel before it gushed into the river staining it completely red.
Lei Yu was carefully searching for something before his eyes went wide. “I’ve got it!”
He stabbed the Sky Devouring Sword inside and made a cut. A round green and black thing the size of a human’s head was then held only by Lei Yu. “What a big snake’s gallbladder!”
The snake’s gallbladder was considered an herbal ingredient. It could benefit one’s eyes, and decrease the heat in one’s body and many other effects.¹ But these are the characteristics of the common snake’s gallbladder while Lei Yu was holding onto something he had never seen before. It’s not clear what its uses are or whether it would work like the common variety. At least Lei Yu felt that this thing should be something good.
After storing the gallbladder into his storage ring, Lei Yu started circling the huge body. Underneath a particular scale of the Dragon-Snake, he removed the Gold Core that previously belonged to him and stored it.
“I wonder what its Nascent Soul looks like. Could it be like a little doll?” Lei Yu had once seen the Violet Gold Hall’s Luo Feng exert his power and display his Nascent Soul, and it did look like an infant’s body. But what would the snake’s Nascent Soul look like?
“Could it… uhh… could it be a baby snake?” Thinking up to this point, Lei Yu felt a bit disgusted. But he still went towards the Dragon-Snake’s lower abdomen area and cut it open. A white light suddenly flashed.
“Bang!” After the loud noise, Lei Yu’s body flew back and smashed against a nearby huge rock.
“Poof~!” Lei Yu threw up a mouthful of blood. He could feel his eyes blur and then he gradually lost his senses before falling unconscious.

If you have a hot constitution body and eat too much food in that same characteristic, the body goes haywire so you become sick etc.
