Chapter 179: Spirit Returning Pill Great Supplement Technique (2/2)

This technique could transform any food that reached the stomach into energy or even vital qi for the body. This helped to strength one's body and raise their cultivation, thus it was called Spirit Returning Pill Great Supplement Technique.

Now that Qin Mu's body was so skinny, he needed to replenish the energy he had exhausted in his body. Now that there was a ridiculously huge roasted fish in front of him, he could use this technique to supplement his body.

This fish was a unique breed after all. Living in Imperial College for so many years, it had absorbed the qi of the nine dragons, thus it was firstly delicious and secondly, its meat was nutritious. Now Qin Mu's body was exhausted, by executing this weird technique, the food in his stomach was immediately digested into nutrients which were absorbed by his whole body.

His shriveled muscles also gradually bulged and even though it was very slow, Qin Mu reckoned his muscles would grow back if he finished eating this ten yards long fish.

Hu Ling'er couldn't stuff herself any longer and the dragon qilin used to eat Scarlet Fire Spirit Pills thus he didn't like the fish meat very much and stopped after a few mouthfuls. Only Qin Mu continued to sit there eating to his heart's content.

Suddenly a knock came from outside and Hu Ling'er dragged her bulging tummy and ran to open the door. Wei Yong walked in with his nose twitching and smiled, ”It's just the time for lunch and I smell a fragrance coming from Brother Qin's place, thus I've come to ask for food… Eh, the stone dragon lion at the mountain gate has come to life? Little fox, how did you get even fatter than me from eating?”

Hu Ling'er gave a snort.

Wei Yong then looked at Qin Mu who was sitting beside the bonfire and cried out in astonishment, ”Little fox, did you borrow Qin Mu's male force to strengthen your feminine health by sleeping with him? Brother Qin? How did he become so skinny?”

Hu Ling'er was furious and anxious, ”I haven't got a chance to do it. Don't speak nonsense!”

”If you didn't do it, who did?”

Wei Yong was bewildered, ”I knew that there would definitely be a problem when Brother Qin asked where the cathouse was the moment he entered the capital city. Your body has become unable to tolerate as expected, am I right?”

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and invited him to sit down.

Wei Yong didn't hold back and tore off a huge chunk of fish meat. He tasted it and the meat was so slippery that it slid straight down his throat, nearly causing his tongue to slip into his stomach as well. He couldn't help being surprised and delighted as he exclaimed in admiration. He then spoke with a low and muffled voice, ”The directorates are all not very pleased when you haven't attended their lessons for the past few months. They said stuff like imperial academician being ignorant and incompetent, that the emperor shouldn't have raised your ranks. That's right, what happened to you? How did you become so skinny?”

”I had made a mistake in my cultivation and almost lost my life.”

Qin Mu said, ”Lucky I discovered just in time and now I'm replenishing my energy back.”

Wei Yong smiled, ”You have pretty big guts as well, to actually cultivate recklessly. I'm also an imperial scholar now and have some position in Duke's Manor, what pills do you need? I can grab some from Duke's Manor to let you supplement your body.”

Qin Mu shook his head and said, ”When I finish eating this fish, my body would be able to recover and there would be no need for me to consume spirit pills.”

”Do you know? Chancellor Ba Shan and Grand Chancellor Gu had fought each other and got each other all bloodied outside the capital city. Even the emperor was alarmed.”

Wei Yong had a burp and said, ”My father went to mediate in the quarrel along with other first-ranking high officials and only then did they stop fighting. I went out to make some inquiries and heard that the emperor had called them both over to give them a harsh scolding. Only when I finished asking around, I came back to freeload a meal here. Before you came back, Chancellor Ba Shan had found me and said he wanted to bring me out for an experience, I reckon…”

”Brother Wei, don't talk while eating.”

Not long after, Wei Yong this chubby youth had grown even bigger and he couldn't eat anymore. However, he still saw Qin Mu continuing to eat heartily and with each piece of fish going into his stomach, his stomach actually didn't bulge at all.

Wei Yong was amazed. When he saw Qin Mu's skinny body expending out as if he was filled with air, he gave a pinch and found there were all muscles in his body, making him even more astonished.

When this huge fish had been completely finished, only a huge fish bone that spanned up to ten yards long was left. Qin Mu's body had recovered to normal and seemed to be even stronger than before, making Wei Yong incessantly envious.

”Where did you buy such a delicious fish from?”

Wei Yong's mouth was still itching for more but he just couldn't eat anymore thus he asked, ”I have never seen such a huge fish in the market of the capital city nor have I ever eaten such a delicious fish, I definitely have to buy a few more and give special attention to them!”

Qin Mu said indifferently, ”Fished out from Jade Dragon Lake.”

Wei Yong stared with his eyes wide open and asked immediately, ”Which Jade Dragon Lake?”

”The one in our Imperial College.”

Wei Yong gulped and asked with a trembling voice, ”Our Imperial College's Jade Dragon Lake? This fish is one of the fish kings in Jade Dragon Lake?”

Qin Mu looked at Hu Ling'er and Hu Ling'er nodded her head, ”I asked Big Dragon to catch a huge one, this one that he caught was the biggest.”

Wei Yong's expression turned ashen and he saw the mulberry leaves and branches that were scattered throughout the entire courtyard. He then asked again with a trembling voice, ”When I came back just now, I had seen the Ambition Tree in Scholar's Residence left with a stump, could it be…”

”That mulberry tree is called Ambition Tree?”

Hu Ling'er said in astonishment, ”The tree even has a name?”

Wei Yong's face turned ghastly white and he walked shakily and muttered in a daze, ”Chopping down Ambition Tree to use it to roast the fish king of Jade Dragon Palace. Even if I've multiple heads, it still wouldn't be enough for the emperor to chop off. I've never been here, never been here…”
