159 Could This Be a Kidney Stone? (2/2)

However, this time around… it was different. This was due to the appearance of Wang Baole. Regardless of whether it was the advertisement about Dharmic Artifacts that displayed fireworks, his outburst during the battle with Li Wuchen, or his breakthrough in swallowing the water droplets to become a huge fatty, each of those acts was enough to discuss for days.

As such, his name was mentioned multiple times. In fact, he was gradually mentioned more often than the favored ones in the Combat Pavilion, becoming more famous. Even the victors of the competition were all struck dumb when they heard of Wang Baole's feat.

However, the Wang Baole at the moment was still lying very still in his own cave abode, in a state of oblivion. His body would twitch once in a while. At the same time, his body was clearly slimming down, no longer as hefty as when he returned, gradually returning to his original size.

Only at dusk two days later, Wang Baole's body, which was still lying there, jolted to life. He slowly opened his eyes, appearing lost. After Wang Baole regained full consciousness, he suddenly sat up, breathed heavily, and looked down to scrutinize his own body.

Noticing that his abdomen had become much smaller and that his body had fully recovered, Wang Baole was so excited that he immediately took a mirror to examine himself. Upon seeing that familiar face in the mirror, he could not help but laugh out loud.

Success! Things like slimming down is too easy for me! Wang Baole stood up while laughing wildly and continuously turned around in front of the mirror, becoming more and more excited.

I am still this slim and handsome! While being pleased with himself and high-spirited, Wang Baole could not help but raise his hand and thump his abdomen. Just as he was about to sigh emotionally, the thump stunned him and prompted him to look down suspiciously.

Why is it that I feel like I had hit something? Wang Baole touched carefully, while his facial expression suddenly changed for the worst.

What is this round thing? Wang Baole's eyes opened widely, and his breath stop instantaneously. He immediately recalled the order that he had transmitted to his brain before he became unconscious.

It can't be… Wang Baole's head buzzed, and his face turned pale in fear. He quickly took a look and then heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was still stunned for a long while.

At this moment, there was an impressive fist-sized crystal in his body that was found on top of the devouring seed, which occupied his dantian. It seemed like a Spirit Stone but was blood red in color. In it, it seemed to encapsulate the amazing Spirit Qi. Upon sensing it a little, Wang Baole immediately drew a deep breath. Based on his own instincts, this crystal appeared to be like a bomb.

Once burst open, the huge amount of Spirit Qi emitted would definitely cause his body to explode straightaway.

What is this, could this be a kidney stone? A kidney stone formed by highly concentrated Spirit Qi? Wang Baole was quite nervous. After observing it closely, he was taken aback.

Although about ninety percent of the spirit fat in his body had disappeared and his cultivation level had risen a little, he did not feel it strongly. Combining with his recollections of the order that he had transmitted before losing consciousness, the origin of this crystal became perfectly clear.

”Just because I tricked my brain that I was pregnant, the spirit fats dissolved and released Spirit Qi. The Spirit Qi then coagulated to form this thing,” Wang Baole muttered in fascination, smiling bitterly for a long time.

It was good that he had realized that the meridians of the Spirit Qi were no longer the Spirit threads in the past. Instead, it seemed like countless threads had come together to form a small stream, flowing along his own meridians, making his own body clearly much stronger than before.

”The second level of the True Breath realm!” Feeling the cultivation level after his own transformation, Wang Baole was much better. He guessed that the stone was very powerful at a glance. If he slowly absorbed it, it would be comparable to pills, expediting his cultivation and refinement.

Wang Baole was excited by this thought and quickly had a go. He realized that as his cultivation was activated and the spirit stream was flowing along his meridians, the red stone indeed released some spirit energy. After being absorbed by the large network of spirit streams, Wang Baole was immediately stimulated.

This is fate! Wang Baole laughed wildly in elation. Realizing that he was truly at the second level of the True Breath realm, his burning excitement made him control the Spirit Qi in his body to concentrate on his palms, according to the spells recorded in the Cloud Ethereal technique. He raised his hand and clenched his fist. A fist-sized fireball immediately appeared with a bang.

Indeed, I no longer need to rely on talismans! Wang Baole's eyes glittered, and he extinguished the fireball with a wave. He tried again, and small wind blades quickly appeared. This excited Wang Baole, prompting him to try over and over again. However, the Spirit Qi in his meridians seemed to deplete very quickly, making it hard for him to withstand the expenditure.

Looking at what happened, Wang Baole quickly stopped trying. After meditating for a while, he realized that the Spirit Qi in his meridians had recovered to normal, and he opened his eyes, unable to contain the look of excitement.
