Chapter 319.2 (1/2)

A Chess Game in the Broken Dream

One would need to go through three steps in order to consume the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia.

Firstly, one would need to transform his ‘medicine soul’ into jade to break the disguise of the spiritual herb.

Secondly, roasting the zoysia with flames nine times.

Thirdly, using a ‘medicine slave’ to purify the poison contained within the zoysia, bringing out its maximum medicinal power.

After completing the first step, a column of black flames which was three chi* (30.7 cm per chi) tall rose from the tip of his finger. Without further delay, he began roasting the purple zoysia.

The process of roasting the zoysia required a high level of control towards flames. If the temperature of the flames were to be slightly higher, the purple zoysia will then be turned into ashes, whereas a lower temperature would cause the zoysia to be under-roasted.

After awakening the medicine soul, Ning Fan felt that his sense of sight and hearing had greatly sharpened. Moreover, his ability to control flames had become exceptionally better!

Within just an hour, the process of roasting had been completed. After roasting the zoysia for nine times, whiffs of fragrance began to fill the atmosphere. By just sniffing its smell once, Ning Fan felt his magic power surge, as if it was showing signs of improvement.

”Next would be the third step...”

Looking at the female corpse who was wearing a dull expression, Ning Fan’s eyes glinted with determination. He exhaled a mouthful of essence qi and then sucked in the huge purple zoysia into his abdomen.

“Refine!”

As Ning Fan uttered the word, the purple zoysia started to be refined inside his body, turning into droplets of purple zoysia juice which was then condensed into pellets of purple medicinal crystals.

Ning Fan was very careful, worrying if he would waste the medicinal power by absorbing the slightest trace of medicinal essence, and diminish the possibility for the female corpse to regain her memories.

Along the process of refining the medicinal crystals, streaks of poison which were black like ink forced its way into the crystals and was then absorbed by him.

Just like how the saying goes, whenever heaven gives birth to a medicine, it would certainly create a poison as well!

Thus, the stronger the medicinal power of the purple zoysia, the heavier its poison would be.

When the poison entered his body, Ning Fan’s lips immediately turned dark purple while his face started to be suffused with black qi.

No matter how the poison racked his insides or how agonizing his five internal organs felt, Ning Fan only clenched his jaw without uttering a single word. Gradually, the pellets of the purple medicinal crystals emanated a massive amount of medicinal qi out of his body and placed each of them into the female corpse’s mouth.

Pain?! I don’t care about pain!

Cultivation level?! I could also give all of it up!

The only thing I wish is that I could see you smile again!

“The thirteenth medicinal crystal!”

After Ning Fan inserted the last medicinal crystal into the female corpse’s mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his chest as if he had just received a heavy blow and retreated one hundred steps, spurting out a mouthful of black blood. At that moment, he was already in a severe condition.

Ordinary beings were unable to resist the poison that came along with spiritual herbs. Even an ordinary medicinal slave would not be able to sustain the poison contained within the purple zoysia, let alone survive it… But Ning Fan didn’t care about it!

“Light…you’re…hurt…”

“I…don’t…get…it…”

The female corpse obediently consumed those medicinal crystals and stared blankly at Ning Fan.

She didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why Ning Fan vomited blood.

“It’s nothing. You don’t need to understand…”

Ning Fan smiled satisfyingly. He had already noticed that after the female corpse swallowed the medicinal crystals, the power of the purple zoysia was starting to be assimilated by her body.

In the sky above the Star Palace within the vicinity of 4.8million zhang* (3.33m per zhang), countless and seemingly endless rays of starlight began to rush towards the female corpse, gathering inside her body.

Streaks of starlight revolved around her body. Her internal injuries were starting to recover amidst the starlight.The broken pieces of her Sea of Consciousness also began to show signs of uniting.

So, all that I’ve done isn’t a waste after all…
