The Horrifying Toughness of His Body!

"Miss, medicine of this grade..." Snake Lance Douluo secretly transmitted to Qian Renxue, his eyes filled with fervent longing.

Just the fragrance wafting from such a miraculous herb was intoxicating. He had lived for nearly a hundred years and traveled across the continent, yet even Spirit Hall possessed very few healing medicines of this grade. They were extraordinarily precious!

Now that Qin Chuan was gravely wounded and powerless, he was a fish on the chopping block, ready to be handled as they pleased! They should seize the medicine, and bring Qin Chuan under their control as well!

Somehow, he had a powerful feeling that if he could obtain such a miraculous herb, the bottleneck at rank ninety-two that had trapped him for so long would break at once.

Puffer Douluo, seated quietly nearby, shifted his gaze but kept his mouth shut, watching coldly from the sidelines. He, too, had guessed what Snake Lance Douluo was thinking.

"Elder Snake Lance, go inspect the surroundings. Make sure those Soul Beasts don't come in and disturb Qin Chuan's healing," Qian Renxue said coolly.

Snake Lance Douluo froze at her words, still wanting to say more. But the moment he saw the sharp glint in Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes, his heart quivered. "This old man only thought it was a waste to use such a precious medicine just for healing, so I wanted to remind him."

With that, he hurriedly left.

Puffer Douluo watched this scene and simply played dumb, saying nothing as he sat quietly on the ground to cultivate.

Qian Renxue had always been decisive and clear-eyed about the costs and benefits. She could even let go of the opportunity to become a god; there was no way she would sacrifice the greater good for a petty gain.

Snake Lance Douluo had been blinded by greed, and in a moment of carelessness, that miraculous herb had unsettled his mind.

After glancing at Puffer Douluo, Qian Renxue turned her gaze to Qin Chuan. Seeing that he had truly begun healing, a strange glimmer passed through her phoenix eyes.

The stream murmured, and a cool breeze stirred through the woods.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him, wholly absorbed in refining the medicine's power.

Others thought he had completely let his guard down and trusted the three beside him. Little did they know that the contest between two different systems had already begun...

His senses spread outward. Though they were not especially powerful yet, he had already taken every move and subtle shift in expression from Qian Renxue and Puffer Douluo fully under his control.

Only when Qian Renxue sent Snake Lance Douluo away did he truly relax. He had gained a measure of trust in Qian Renxue and the others.

At least the seemingly gentle and noble woman before him had far-reaching vision, a steady mind, and no appetite for petty gains. She was planning for the greater good. Since she wanted to befriend him, she would at least be forthright for now.

After settling the trouble outside, Qin Chuan gathered all his focus, held his breath, examined his injuries, and continued healing.

Although the immortal cultivation system could also refine this world's Soul Power and convert it into the spiritual power cultivators needed—after all, different energy systems ultimately led to the same destination—

the quality of the Soul Power on Douluo Continent was simply too poor. Relying on it alone to heal his injuries... who knew how long that would take?

Taking the miraculous herb directly was much faster.

A pitch-black seed floated in his sea of consciousness. It absorbed the refined medicinal power, then released an exceptionally pure energy that flowed through his limbs and bones, slowly mending him. His recovery was far faster than before.

"This Dao Seed is truly wondrous."

Qin Chuan was amazed. Even setting everything else aside, its abilities to heal injuries and protect the body were already astonishing.

Even some of Earth Star's famous secret treasures could not compare to it.

And this Dao Seed was not merely the seed of a future world; it was also the precious Dao Seed that would determine whether he could advance to the Sixth Realm.

In the world he had come from, to advance to the Sixth Realm of the immortal cultivation system, a cultivator had to refine a Dao Seed as their foundation. It was said that some ancient cultivators used the sword as their root, while others made divine fire their source.

And he intended to use this World Seed as his Dao Seed!

Moreover, according to the system, the World Seed was different from other Dao Seeds. Once planted and transformed into a world, it would count as cultivating his Dao Seed in advance.

When he broke through to the Sixth Realm in the future, that world would become a world within his body...

This method was far rarer than ordinary techniques, and the road ahead was arduous. For it to grow, it would have to keep devouring other worlds, nourishing the land transformed by the Dao Seed. But once he broke through to the Sixth Realm, the foundations of his immortal cultivation would be astonishingly deep.

As Qin Chuan dreamed of what lay ahead, wisps of pure energy flowed through him. His severed meridians and damaged organs were slowly recovering.

Time passed, bit by bit. The brilliant Golden Crow bathed the sky in rosy hues as it rose from the east, scattering waves of scorching heat across the land.

Nearly two hours later.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes, a glimmer flashing deep within them before vanishing.

"Are your injuries healed?" Qian Renxue, who had been watching over Qin Chuan, asked in shock. How could such severe injuries have healed so quickly?

Beside her, Puffer Douluo had been silently cultivating, as composed and unruffled as ever. Now, though, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

In his estimation, injuries of this severity would take at least several months to recover from, and even then, they might not heal completely. They could easily leave lasting damage.

But what was this?

In just two hours, the young man before him had already regained a steady presence and a robust physique. Aside from his Soul Power not being fully replenished, his injuries had almost completely healed?

This simply defied everything they knew about Soul Power on the continent!

"My injuries have only recovered a little. I'm still a long way from fully healing." Qin Chuan understood the truth, but immediately wore a helpless, bitter smile. He truly wasn't healed; the emotional wound still needed its bell-ringer.

Still, he had gained a great deal this time.

The energy transformed by the Dao Seed was astonishingly pure.

Nourished by it, his nearly shattered body had regained its vitality, almost as if he had been reborn through nirvana. His strength was even greater than before.
