317 Grafting (2/2)

The entire time, He Mengxi stared anxiously at Zhou Donghuang and He Jin without looking away for even a second.

About a minute later, everyone saw a beam of black light fly up from the top of He Jin's head with a flash. They all turned their heads and saw the black light enter the flower that was placed beside He Jin.

At the same time, the flower began to shed all its petals turned completely black as if it had been burned.

”This...”

He Mengxi's nostrils flared in shock. She was originally kneeling at the bottom of the bed, but she now instinctively stood up due to her shock.

The soft wind that was created due to her movement then swept over the ashy and dead-looking flower on the bed. The flower was instantly torn to pieces and flew up in a cloud of black ashes.

”It's done.” Zhou Donghuang then spoke up suitably.

However, one could tell that his voice was rather strained and weak, ”As for the Valley Head, he... The poison within him has been completely dealt with. After this, he only needs to rest for some time before he returns back to his original state.

”Third Senior Sister, you need not worry about me.”

Zhou Donghuang's clothes were now fully soaked in sweat from top to bottom, and his forehead was drenched in sweat as well.

Even though only a minute had gone by, it was almost as if he had used up all the energy within his body. The four Primordial Soul Powers within his inner core had also become dull. With his weakened state, it was clear that he had overworked himself, and this showed just how taxing the Grafting method was.

”Fu, assist me in cleaning up. I would like to change into a fresh set of clothes.”

After speaking to Fu, Zhou Donghuang shut his eyes. However, his fast heartbeat could still be clearly heard in the quiet room.

”Yes, Young Master.”

Fu quickly agreed and came forward to assist Zhou Donghuang. Under the keen gaze of the other three ladies and one male in the room, he brought Zhou Donghuang away.

”Father, how do you feel?” He Mengxi questioned her father anxiously.

Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei made the decision to stay with He Mengxi instead of catching up with Fu. As He Mengxi helped her father sit up, she spoke to him with concern.

”I feel much better, the poison within me is gone... Do check in on Donghuang, he spent quite a bit of energy on me.”

In actuality, He Jin had already discovered that the poison in his body had been dispelled. However, he had been sub-consciously floating in Zhou Donghuang's seemingly endless essential core, which was as wide and expansive as the ocean... Within Zhou Donghuang's essential core, not only was there something as strong as an ultimate Primordial Soul adept present, but there were also three other essential cores at the late Primordial Soul stage as well.

However, he felt that the essential core that was at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage was actually comparable to a normal early Divine Transformation adept's essential core.

One had to know that although he was only at the early Divine Transformation stage, he was even stronger than typical mid Divine Transformation adepts. This was because he had used the training method Zhou Donghuang had given him, the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, and this had allowed his essential core to become much stronger than counterparts at the same stage.

Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang's three other Primordial Soul essential cores were all comparable to a typical ultimate Primordial Soul adept's essential core.

His essential core was that powerful indeed!

However, the volatility of his essential cores had gone beyond expectation, and this seemed to be the case with all his essential cores.

Because of that, He Jin was extremely shocked.

”Four essential cores... This is as if there are four Primordial Soul Powers within Donghuang's body. My goodness, how did he manage to train up four Primordial Soul Powers? Furthermore, he only had such a short time to do so, but yet he managed to train up all four of his Primordial Soul Powers to respectable stages! The last time he left, what miracles did he encounter?”

The He Jin now was trying his best to calm down to allow his daughter to check in on Zhou Donghuang. However, it was hard for him to recover from this shock.

He naturally knew that training four Primordial Soul Powers would definitely be much more difficult than training a single Primordial Soul Power.

Such a method was one that he would not try to do, even if he was given the chance to do so.

The stages that Zhou Donghuang's four Primordial Soul Powers were at were unequal. One of the four Primordial Soul Powers had clearly exceeded the other three. If Zhou Donghuang were to train all of them equally, the other three would definitely lag behind.

Under such a situation, crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage would be hard for Zhou Donghuang.

It was even possible that Zhou Donghuang would have to train his remaining three Primordial Soul Powers until they crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage before he could become a Divine Transformation adept.

”Go ahead... I'm fine.”

As he instructed his own daughter to check on Zhou Donghuang, He Jin glanced at Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei. He had long guessed that the three of them had wanted to check in on Zhou Donghuang. They just felt awkward to leave as that would have been seen as impolite.

Just as he spoke, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei immediately headed for the door.

As for He Mengxi and Da Zhuang, they then followed suit.

However, after the four arrived at Zhou Donghuang's residence, he had already closed his door. Fu was standing outside, and he smiled as he spoke to the four anxious people standing before him, ”Young Master wanted me to tell you all that he is doing well and that he is merely a little worn out. He will recover after taking a bath and resting for a while.”

After hearing Fu's words, the four then breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not leave and continued standing in the yard.

”Sister Mengxi, Zixi and I can stay. You can return to take care of Uncle He Jin,” Ren Jiapei said to He Mengxi.

Just as He Mengxi was hesitating, Yang Zixi and Da Zhuang echoed this sentiment. He Mengxi and Da Zhuang then left and returned to where He Jin was resting.
