Surviving Was Luck Enough

After stepping over the wall from the water dungeon, Zhang Xuezhou curiously examined the structure of this water-based residence.

He can use Acupoint-Fixing Technique to break formations, but he cannot use the Law Power to traverse within them.

This water palace is clearly filled with the Law Power. Only by being familiar with and mastering this Law Power can one freely control everything in the water palace, even opening a stone door.

"Qing'er is still not awake!"

When Zhang Xuezhou stepped into the main hall of the Water Mansion again, he saw Ao Qing soaking in the pool.

Ao Qing is still in Demonization state, his head swaying from time to time, and he occasionally takes a sip from the pool, showing that he is still in a drunken state.

"The Emperor praised my father as a promising candidate to be a drinking tyrant!"

His occasional muttered words perhaps proved that Ao Qing was still in a state of drinking spree.

"He's so strong, he should have been awake long ago," Zhang Xuezhou said, puzzled.

"The saliva wine you are drinking is something we only drink when we give birth to dragon offspring," Ao Li said. "Those who have engaged in sexual intercourse can drink this wine and then work day and night for three days and three nights. The enormous vital energy in their bodies will continuously transform into essence and be released, thereby increasing the probability of giving birth to offspring!"

"Transform Qi into Essence!"

Zhang Xuezhou gasped.

Some unorthodox schools of thought require maintaining virginity, which necessitates refining essence into qi, thus accelerating cultivation.

Zhang Xuezhou never expected that the effect of the saliva would be the opposite.

No wonder the Dragon Kings repeatedly mentioned the health risks associated with childbirth when discussing it.

"Then wouldn't Ao Qing and I be...?"

"You two are both virgins, so your vital energy is less effective at converting into essence. It will only have some benefit when you engage in sexual intercourse in the future," Ao Li said. "However, suppressing it like this will cause your internal energy to be excessively abundant, and may even lead to chaos. Oh, you don't seem to have this effect!"

Ao Li's gaze swept over Ao Qing, who was groping around incoherently, and then looked at Zhang Xuezhou head was slightly lowered.

Zhang Xuezhou's sudden death came on rather quickly, but the other party's symptoms after regaining consciousness were far milder than Ao Qing's.

As for the fact that the opponent uses the Dragon Ball to propel their wings to further Demonization when their internal power is abundant, that's another matter entirely, and it has nothing to do with the aftereffects of drinking the saliva wine.

Moreover, the other party was extremely lucid at this time, and there were basically no signs of being confused by alcohol or indulging in desires.

Ao Li couldn't help but marvel, feeling that cultivators of Leizhenzi's lineage truly had the ability to eat anything they wanted, and could even recover from drinking dragon saliva wine.

"I was affected," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head. "I was delirious at the time, and I even saw a guy with a flat head walking sideways. My thoughts..."

Are you talking about me?

Zhang Xuezhou talked about his situation, also wanting to seek information from Ao Li, and then combine that with Ao Qing's condition to make a judgment for himself.

When a flat-headed monster that walked sideways emerged from beside him, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously.

"Crab demons all walk sideways," Ao Li casually remarked. "You're not delirious, and you're not sick. You're just experiencing some aftereffects from drinking too much. Like Ao Qing, you'll recover after a rest!"

"Take a break?"

"Yes, let's take a break!"

Ao Li nodded, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou's situation was not a big deal.

Of course, Ao Li had no other options.

Ordinary medicines have almost no effect on dragon demons, and the dragon race is not good at healing or making subtle diagnoses.

He could only throw Ao Qing into the pool to cool down his lust with cold water; that was all the methods he had.

"I have a feeling that something's not right!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head vigorously.

In reality, he experienced a steady increase in his spiritual power, which lasted for nearly twelve days.

In this world, he was top-heavy and unsteady. His bronze wings, honed through Technique Within the Clouds, had inexplicably upgraded to golden wings, and his Demon Power was rapidly increasing. His internal condition was in complete chaos.

The information Ao Li provided was even less valuable than what the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas had revealed.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to ask another question, he felt dizzy again, and he felt the water palace swaying back and forth.

"I'm dizzy again, I feel like the place is shaking," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It's shaking! It's shaking! It's shaking!"

The crab demon roared and ran away as fast as it could.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!" the crab demon cried out, "The water prison is leaking!"

"They actually took advantage of my negligence to dig a hole! It's outrageous!"

A hint of anger flashed across Ao Li's face.

Destruction is far easier than construction, and he is equally bad at building; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to build the Water Palace.

The hole that Dong Zhongshu had made left him helpless, feeling that it was difficult to seal it back up.

He glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but feel a bit angry. He reached out and grabbed the two water-split forks into his left and right hands.

He swung his sword towards the outside of the water palace, parting the water curtain, and rushed out.

"Oh dear, if the Great King captures those two humans, I'll have to keep watch over them day and night!" the crab demon cried out.

"What did you call me?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Guest, my name is Xie Xie, a name bestowed upon me by the Great King," the crab demon said.

"Thank you, why are you keeping an eye on those two humans?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, shaking his head.

"The Great King said they were eloquent and well-read, making them very suitable to teach the young king," the crab demon said. "However, the Great King finds it difficult to communicate with these people, so he has decided to starve them first. When they are starved enough, they will come to beg the Great King, who will then persuade them to agree to teach him for ten years, and then release them."

"That's a great idea!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, finally understanding why Dong Zhongshu and the others had been imprisoned for so long without any consequences.

The demon race is mostly composed of uneducated and uncultured individuals. Although there are some demons with Tongtian, these powerful demons are individuals, not the entire race.

Even the dragon race, Five Lakes, finds it difficult to form a civilized society.

In this situation, demons will constantly learn from humans in order to avoid being perceived as primitive, bloodthirsty creatures.

Although Ao Li's method of seeking knowledge was somewhat crude, it was probably a common practice among dragons.

"Thank you, Xie. You seem a little different from a few days ago."

Having understood the situation at the Water Mansion and learned about Dong Zhongshu and the others, Zhang Xuezhou was no longer worried. Even if Dong Zhongshu and the others were captured and brought back, their lives would be safe.

He stared at the crab demon, feeling that it seemed different from what it had been ten days ago.

"Guest, can you tell how strong I am now?" The crab demon exclaimed joyfully, "Great Lord breathed a few breaths of dragon's breath on me, and not only did my severed arm grow back, but my Demon Power has also greatly increased. I can even become a general of the Water Palace in the future!"

Congratulations!

Zhang Xuezhou clasped his hands in a fist and bow.

A thought struck him, and he finally understood the possible causes of his symptoms.

If I'm not mistaken, the damaged entrance to the Heaven and Earth Bridges on his head seems to have been affected by the treatment.

For demons, this would be a great fortuitous opportunity; for crab demons like Xie Xie, it could even lead to a significant increase in their Demon Power.

Zhang Xuezhou, this half-demon, was no exception; his Demon Power also increased greatly, resulting in the development of golden wings.

He may even have been able to withstand the constant impact of dragon breath and dragon pearls on the gateway between the two bridges of heaven and earth, which is why his spiritual power continued to grow.

The only problem is that he is in human form and does not cultivate Demon Power.

If I'm not mistaken, the clash between his Demon Power and Law Power caused him to feel dizzy and heavy-headed.

"If I can't solve this problem myself, then I'll have to see Chunyu Tiying and Zheng Wukong for a checkup!"

He understood the problem, but couldn't tell whether his condition was good or bad. However, Zhang Xuezhou didn't panic. He just felt that he was lucky to have survived Long's forceful treatment.
