Don't Bring Up Something So Disgusting While I'm Eating

Whale Swallowing Technique... that sounds like a cool name.

In fact, it is just a method to strengthen teeth, stomach, and digestive system.

Moreover, the Whale Swallowing Technique can't eat just anything. It seems there's only one thing it can devour— Spirit Beast Crystal.

The moment Song Shuhang came into contact with the 'Whale Swallowing Technique', he understood. This was an auxiliary method used in the 'Giant Whale Chapter' to fuse the 'Pseudo-Innate True Qi'.

By consuming Spirit Beast Crystal, the Proto-Innate True Qi within the body is integrated with the Origin True Qi of thirty-three kinds of spirit beasts, thereby generating Origin True Qi that is infinitely close to 'Innate True Qi'.

Besides the <Whale Swallowing Technique>, the inheritance also includes the first four parts of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>. These four techniques are enough to allow one to cultivate to the Fourth-Grade of the 'Xiantian' realm.

The Fourth-Grade Xiantian realm is precisely the realm where that 'Pseudo-Innate True Qi' can take effect.

Song Shuhang withdrew from the illusion space created by the gold chain once again.

As soon as he came out, he saw Yu Jiaojiao and the little monk looking at him with worried expressions.

The young monk even offered her a hot towel.

"?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled.

The little monk replied, "Go ahead and wipe it, Brother Shuhang. You suddenly started wailing and crying so hard. It was heartbreaking to see, both Sister Jiaojiao and I."

Song Shuhang wiped his face and realized it was covered in tears—were they tears that flowed uncontrollably from the heartache he felt upon seeing the destroyed Immortal Palace?

Song Shuhang hurriedly took the towel the little monk handed him and wiped away the tears on his face... Why did he involuntarily cry when he saw that Immortal Palace?

Was that destroyed 'Immortal Palace' the sect of the Thirty-Three Beast God Sect? Or was it the palace of some other force?

Yu Jiaojiao asked, "Shuhang, did you gain anything this time?"

Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, I've finished the cultivation technique I'm currently practicing, and I've also mastered a very good auxiliary technique."

As he spoke, he put down the hot towel and then took out the 'shark' Spirit Beast Crystal from the Inch-Shrinking Bag.

Yu Jiaojiao's small eyes darted around. "Your auxiliary cultivation technique is related to this Spirit Beast Crystal?"

Spirit Beast Crystal are quite famous in the Cultivator World. The spiritual power they contain is no less than that of Spirit Stone, but due to their special structure, there is almost no way to extract the energy from them.

Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Yes, the function of that auxiliary cultivation technique is to absorb Spirit Beast Crystal."

The little monk and Yu Jiaojiao stared curiously at Song Shuhang, watching to see how he would use the Spirit Beast Crystal with his 'technique'.

Song Shuhang held the Shark-Type Spirit Beast Crystal in his hand, and soon a conflicted look appeared on his face.

According to the description of the <Whale Swallowing Technique> in the inheritance, when the <Whale Swallowing Technique> is activated, his teeth become able to crush Spirit Beast Crystal, his stomach and digestive system can digest the entire Spirit Beast Crystal completely, and through the <Whale Swallowing Technique>, he can perfectly guide the energy in the Spirit Beast Crystal to his Dantian.

Then, the spiritual power within the Spirit Beast Crystal flows into the Dantian, increasing one's true qi cultivation. Meanwhile, the original power of the spirit beast is integrated into the nascent form of 'Pseudo-Innate True Qi'.

After consuming the thirty-three kinds of Spirit Beast Crystal, the 'Pseudo-Proto-Innate True Qi' will undergo a transformation, turning into a complete 'Pseudo-Innate True Qi'.

So... here's the question: how do you consume these Spirit Beast Crystal?

Eat it raw?

Sprinkle with salt? Eat it with soy sauce? Or dip it in white sugar?

"What is Shuhang doing?" the little monk asked in confusion.

Yu Jiaojiao voice, "Don't rush, maybe it's using a magical technique to absorb the energy from the Spirit Beast Crystal."

The little monk nodded, his face full of anticipation.

Then, under the gazes of him and Yu Jiaojiao, Song Shuhang pinched the Spirit Beast Crystal, wiped it, put it in his mouth, and took a bite with a 'crunch'.

The young monk. "..."

Yu Jiaojiao: "..."

Song Shuhang: "..."

It hurts so much! It hurts so much!! My tooth is going to fall out.

"This <Whale Swallowing Technique> only hardened my teeth a little bit, but it's still not enough to bite open Spirit Beast Crystal!" Song Shuhang covered his mouth.

However, he soon understood what was going on—he had just received the <Whale Swallowing Technique> in the Inheritance Space, and he had only just begun to learn this extraordinary skill.

It's too early to think about consuming 'Spirit Beast Crystal' directly.

I must practice this <Whale Swallowing Technique> extensively, at least to the minor mastery level, before I can consume this Spirit Beast Crystal, right?

However... this extraordinary skill is not easy to master.

When cultivating, you must keep biting on the Spirit Beast Crystal.

Seeing Song Shuhang gritting his teeth at the Spirit Beast Crystal every day, the seniors who didn't know the truth might think he had gone mad.

"It seems we have no choice but to take a risky approach." Song Shuhang's eyes flickered. "Let's go find Phoenix Slayer!"

Yu Jiaojiao and the little monk blinked in unison, looking completely bewildered.

******************************

Young Master Phoenix Slayer finished his meditation and opened his eyes.

"It's the start of another new day," he said, stretching.

He believes that the early bird catches the worm and loves a beautiful morning.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," said Young Master Phoenix Slayer.

The door was opened, and Song Shuhang, the little monk, Yu Jiaojiao rushed in.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer looked at the three of them with suspicion. "Do you need something from me?"

Song Shuhang immediately said, "Senior Phoenix Slayer, could you use the body-swapping technique on me again?"

Young Master Phoenix Slayer blinked. "What!"

"Could you lend me your CPU, senior, to run a program for me?" Song Shuhang replied.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Speak like a human!"

"I borrowed your body to practice a martial arts technique, and that technique is very useful to me," Song Shuhang said honestly.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer's lips twitched.

However, in the end, Young Master Phoenix Slayer still used his innate ability to 'swap bodies': "This is the last time, don't always try to take advantage of me."

"Senior Phoenix Slayer, you are truly an unparalleled demon," Song Shuhang said gratefully. "However, next time, could I possibly borrow your body for a fee?"

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Go play in the mud!"

It looks like there's no hope. What a shame.

"Moreover, it was agreed beforehand that this was a fair trade. For me, the process of exchanging consciousness is also a form of cultivation," said Young Master Phoenix Slayer.

As he spoke, he took off his glasses, his eerie pupils meeting Song Shuhang's gaze, and their consciousnesses switched places in the next instant.

That familiar three-second delay is back!

Time is running out.

Song Shuhang hurriedly borrowed the body of Young Master Phoenix Slayer and began to cultivate the <Whale Swallowing Technique>.

Just like when he practiced the <Reverse Scale Saber Technique> last time, after Song Shuhang practiced the <Whale Swallowing Technique> four times, he suddenly felt hundreds of inspirations pop into his mind, including more than seventy similar basic knowledge of 'devouring' spells and teeth-strengthening spells—it seems that Young Master Phoenix Slayer has done a lot of research on 'how to cultivate a good set of teeth'. Did he comprehend it during his battle with Doudou before he Transformation?

The <Whale Swallowing Technique> is only a Second-Grade- grade auxiliary technique, which is easy for Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Fifth-Grade Great Demon, to cultivate.

Meanwhile, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's consciousness entered Song Shuhang's body.

His innate ability allows him to forcibly transfer his consciousness into other people, just like when he controlled Doudou's body and shouted, "Lord Yellow Mountain is my loyal dog."

Or he could directly pull someone else's 'consciousness' into his own body, just like he pulled Song Shuhang's consciousness in and controlled his own body.

Or, like now, the two sides exchange their consciousness.

While Song Shuhang was using the body of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer to cultivate the <Whale Swallowing Technique> and <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>, the Young Master Phoenix Slayer was also using Song Shuhang's body to cultivate his talent of 'swap consciousness'.

With both parties agreeing to the exchange, it would allow Young Master Phoenix Slayer's talent and abilities to be honed more efficiently.

However, what was called a 'fair trade' was actually Young Master Phoenix Slayer giving Song Shuhang one last favor out of consideration for Doudou.

Does he really think his CPU is a public computer that anyone can borrow?

******************************

After Young Master Phoenix Slayer deactivated his 'Consciousness Swap' talent, Song Shuhang's <Whale Swallowing Technique> had reached its peak.

He took out the shark-like Spirit Beast Crystal again and wiped it clean.

Then, Shuhang asked again, "Does anyone have ketchup?"

"I have some here." The little monk handed over a bowl of bright red tomato sauce and two white bread rolls. "I just finished meditating and haven't had breakfast yet."

Song Shuhang: "Thank you, Little Guoguo."

Then, he used the Beast Spirit Crystal with ketchup.

Activate the <Whale Swallowing Technique> again.

After activating the Whale Swallowing Technique this time, Song Shuhang felt his teeth become as hard as divine weapons... Now, he could definitely perform the 'biting a steel knife' act without any problem.

If things don't work out in the future, I can always go and perform street acrobatics.

'Crunch~' He took a bite.

The hard Beast Spirit Crystal was thus crushed by biting.

Chewing, chewing...

He swallowed it with a 'gulp'.

"The taste is a bit strange, and it has a fishy smell," Song Shuhang muttered.

Little monk. "They really ate it."

Yu Jiaojiao: "That looks amazing."

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Can this stuff be digested? I mean... if the broken Spirit Beast Crystal can't be digested, will it cause diarrhea?"

"..." Song Shuhang: "Senior Phoenix Slayer, could you please not bring up such disgusting things while we're eating?"

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "..."

As they were talking, Song Shuhang swallowed the Spirit Beast Crystal in three gulps.

This shark-like Spirit Beast Crystal was formed from the spiritual energy of Third-Grade shark-like spirit beast, equivalent to the spiritual power of a Third-Grade Spirit Stone.

For Song Shuhang, the spiritual power contained in this Spirit Stone was too high. He felt as if his Dantian was about to burst.

Fortunately, thanks to Venerable White's "Qi Storage and Essence Expansion Method," his Dantian 'Dantian capacity was several times larger than that of an ordinary Second-Grade Cultivator.

Song Shuhang dared not be careless. He quickly sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to continuously circulate the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>, guiding the massive spiritual power into his Dantian.

It then guided the 'Shark-Type Origin True Qi' within the Spirit Beast Crystal to merge into the 'Proto-Innate True Qi'.

Beside the needle-shaped Proto-Innate True Qi, a small shark phantom appeared, swimming around the Proto-Innate True Qi.
