A Shocking Flesh Body!

"Young Miss, medicinal herbs of this grade..." Snake Lance Douluo secretly transmitted his voice to Qian Renxue, his eyes burning with intense greed.

Such a spiritual herb—the fragrance alone was enough to be intoxicating. Having lived for nearly a century and traveled across the Douluo Continent, he knew that healing herbs of this caliber were rare even within Martial Soul Hall; they were exceedingly precious!

The currently wounded and powerless Qin Chuan was nothing more than fish on a chopping block, ready to be carved up! The spiritual herb should be seized, and the man himself should be brought under their control!

Deep down, he had a strong intuition that if he could obtain such a spiritual herb, the bottleneck at level ninety-two that had trapped him for so long would be shattered instantly.

Beside them, the sitting Pufferfish remained silent, his gaze flickering slightly, yet he kept his lips sealed and watched with cold eyes. He had already anticipated Snake Lance Douluo's thoughts.

"Elder Snake Lance, go inspect the perimeter. Ensure no soul beasts wander in and disturb Qin Chuan's healing," Qian Renxue said calmly at that moment.

Snake Lance Douluo was stunned, wanting to say more, but upon seeing the sharp glint in Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes, his heart trembled. "I was merely pointing out that it is a waste for him to use such a precious herb just for healing."

With that, he hurriedly departed the area.

Pufferfish watched this scene and played the mute, saying nothing as he sat quietly on the ground to cultivate.

Qian Renxue had always been a decisive person who weighed pros and cons clearly. She could even let go of the opportunity to become a god; she certainly would not abandon the bigger picture for the sake of petty gains.

Snake Lance Douluo, however, was blinded by greed and had momentarily allowed his state of mind to be rattled by that spiritual herb.

Glancing at Pufferfish, Qian Renxue turned her gaze toward Qin Chuan. Seeing him truly immersed in his healing, a strange look flashed through her phoenix eyes.

The stream gurgled, and a cool breeze drifted through the forest.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, appearing as if he were oblivious to everything in the outside world, his entire being submerged in the refining of the medicinal power.

Others might assume he was completely relaxed and trusting of the three people beside him. Little did they know, a contest between two different systems had already begun...

His perception spread out. Though not yet powerful, it had already brought every movement and subtle change in expression from Qian Renxue and Pufferfish under his control.

Only when Qian Renxue sent Snake Lance Douluo away did he truly set his mind at ease, feeling a sliver of trust toward her and her companions.

At the very least, this seemingly gentle and noble woman possessed long-term vision, a steady mind, and did not covet small gains; she aimed for the bigger picture. Since she wanted to befriend him, she would at least be straightforward at this stage.

After resolving the external trouble, Qin Chuan focused his energy completely, holding his breath and concentrating as he probed his internal injuries to continue his recovery.

Although the Immortal Dao system could purify the soul power of this world and convert it into the spiritual energy required by a cultivator—after all, energy systems ultimately lead to the same destination—the quality of soul power on the Douluo Continent was simply too low. Relying solely on soul power to repair his injuries would take until the year of the monkey.

It was far faster to consume the spiritual herb directly.

A pitch-black seed floated within his sea of consciousness. The refined medicinal power was absorbed by it, and in turn, a stream of extremely pure energy was released, flowing through his limbs and bones, slowly repairing his body at a speed far exceeding what he had achieved before.

"This Dao Seed is truly miraculous."

Qin Chuan was astonished. If nothing else, the healing and protective properties of this Dao Seed alone were already incredibly formidable.

Looking across the Earth Star, even some of the most famous secret treasures lacked such heaven-defying effects.

Moreover, this Dao Seed was not only the seed of a future world but also the precious foundation for his future ascension to the Sixth Realm.

In his previous world, for the Immortal Dao system to ascend to the Sixth Realm, a cultivator had to refine a Dao Seed as their foundation. It was rumored that some ancient cultivators used a sword as their root, while others used divine fire as their base.

And he would use this World Seed as his Dao Seed!

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

When he eventually broke through to the Sixth Realm, that world would become his internal world...

This method was rarer than ordinary paths, and the road ahead was difficult; to grow, he would need to constantly devour other worlds to nourish the heaven and earth assimilated by the Dao Seed. But once he reached the Sixth Realm, his Immortal Dao foundation would be shockingly profound.

Qin Chuan looked forward to it as strands of pure energy flowed through his body, repairing his fractured meridians and damaged organs.

Time passed bit by bit. The brilliant red glow of the golden crow filled the clouds, flying from the east and casting waves of scorching heat upon the earth.

After nearly two hours, Qin Chuan opened his eyes, a flicker of light vanishing deep within them.

"Your injuries are healed?" Qian Renxue, who had been guarding him, asked in surprise. Such heavy injuries had healed so quickly?

Beside them, Pufferfish, who had been silently cultivating with his usual calm, now wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

By his estimation, injuries of this magnitude should have taken months to recover from, and might even have left permanent damage.

But what was this situation?

In just two hours, the youth before them had steady breathing and a robust body. Aside from his soul power not yet being fully replenished, his injuries were nearly completely healed?

This simply defied the common knowledge of soul power on the continent!

"I have only recovered a little; I am still far from fully healed!" Qin Chuan knew the truth, but a helpless, bitter smile immediately appeared on his face. He was indeed not fully healed; the psychological trauma still required the person who caused it to resolve it.

However, he had gained a great deal this time.

The energy converted by the Dao Seed was incredibly pure.

His nearly shattered body had been nourished by it, regaining vitality as if reborn through nirvana, his strength even greater than before.
