180 Chapter 180 The Earth Chakras Initial Meridian (1/2)
”Young master, what did you do to make these monkeys chase you with such determination?”
In the wilderness, the carriage continued to swiftly travel. Chuxue stuck her head out of the window and worriedly looked behind.
This place was already 2 thousand miles away from the water fairy lake. With the Windrider foals pulling the carriage, they had traveled for close to 16 hours.
Luckily, these spiritual foals were only skilled at running, having immense stamina. Along with the help of Zong Shou and pill medicines, they managed to barely avoid the danger and ditch the ape group behind them.
The golden tattoo white ape was filled with energy. Even when his wound was dripping in blood one couldn't see any weakness at all. Its speed was even many times more than the Windrider foals.
However, this beast seemed to be worried about Zong Shou's ability and didn't dare to chase too closely. The white apes behind it were also unable to keep up with its speed. A continuous 16 hours of chasing used up most of their energies. They could only look on at the back as the carriage went further and further.
That golden tattoo white ape gave out a yellow glow in its eyes as it roared out. His aura was really threatening, Even Chuxue, who was tens of miles away, felt shocked.
Zong Shou didn't care. After calming down, he smiled, ”Nothing much, I just slashed him with a sword. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to kill it.”
Chuxue didn't believe his words. Those apes were obviously filled with killing intent. They had not only viewed Zong Shou as their enemy.
Then, she saw Zong Shou take out a few items from his body. First was tens of mine stones which Chuxue didn't bother about. She took a glance before moving her eyes away.
But once Zong Shou took out 7 leather bags filled with monkey wine, her eyes lit up.
She finally understood why the ape group would chase them so frantically. The apes loved to drink and Zong Shou stole their collection. Obviously, they would risk their lives!
Those leather bags were really huge, any one of them could hold close to 2-3 decalitres. The 10 bottles of celestial brew that Lei Dong gave was not even a third of one of the bags. The fragrance of the wine was tough to hide as it hit the nose.
Chuxue couldn't help but lick her lips but saw Zong Shou coldly stare over. She instantly felt guilty and acted like nothing was happening as she gazed out of the window.
Following which she heard Zong Shou laugh, ”You greedy cat! Don't drink too much...”
He casually threw 2 bags over. She was instantly delighted and hug the 2 wine bags tightly like they were a treasure.
Then, Zong Shou took out that spirit absorbing pagoda, using soul power to suspend it in the air. Then, he took off all his clothes until only his underwear was left.
Chuxue instantly felt anxious and frantic. When she bathed with him in the past, she didn't find anything wrong with 2 people being naked together. She thought it was normal. Today, when she spoke to him face to face, she would turn red and sometimes she wouldn't even dare to look straight at him.
She wanted to escape the carriage but she saw the alluring woman Ruo Shui lying on the mattress beside with a lazy expression—staring at Zong Shou with no attempts to hide it. Chuxue, for some reason, felt unhappiness rise up in her heart. She gritted her tooth and sat at the same spot, not moving anymore.
Zong Shou slightly adjusted his breathing and his heart had returned to a really calm state. What he was about to do had no room for mistakes.
He reached out with his hand and took out the few remaining soul stones in his bag. Then he used the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique to absorb all the spiritual energy into his body.
In that instant, it caused his soul power to explode! His entire soul ocean was spinning crazily.
Zong Shou's intent also descended into the spirit absorbing pagoda. A few days ago that water element vein that he had absorbed had already been modified by him.
Today there was only this newly absorbed vein that needed him to spend some effort on.
Actually, the technique was really simple, using his mind to control the Oregon spirits to form similar talismans.
When an earth vein was merged into the body, the effects could be strong or weak. Dual cultivators in the era were unable to find out about the reason and could only simply split veins into 3 grades. Most of the time, they were unable to truly differentiate. Some of the original spirits were stronger. However, it looked like a normal vein.
Until the future, when knowledge of other world spread over, did they know about the mysteries within. In these spiritual veins, there are charms and talismans and also the basic spiritual runes. However, they looked special and were hard to differentiate.
There were even some spiritual masters of some worlds who developed some talisman forming techniques to strengthen earth veins which martial cultivators craved.
Zong Shou was too poor in the last life and couldn't invite Return to Sun realm spirit masters to form talismans and charms for his earth vein. Only after he reached the ascended ancestor level did he make some friends who helped him form talismans. However, his foundations were, in the end, weaker than the disciples of those big sects. Only after spending large effort did he manage to make up for that.
