Feeling Good
"It's ready!"
Without the support of Qi and Blood and blood, Buddha Son Shigong was certain that his body was as soft as water.
The Buddha Son Shigong did not dare to be greedy. The power of Qi and Blood in his body that had been sealed by Suo Yang had not been completely released, but he dared not consume any more Ling Si Yu Root.
He felt as if he had reached his limit, and the consequences of continuing to take it were unpredictable, as it would consume a great deal of the Qi and Blood needed to maintain his body.
Compared to the unpredictable events that might occur to his body, Buddha Son Shigong felt that having 20% of his Qi and Blood locked up was nothing; he simply considered it as only being able to exert 80% of his strength.
He took a little too much of the Cynomorium songaricum, which caused his current condition.
Of course, things weren't all bad. The increase in Qi and Blood brought by Suoyang was real. Buddha Son Shigong felt that his body and life cycle had undergone a baptism. His whole body seemed to be renewed, and the strength he could exert was even greatly improved.
Even if he can only exert 80% of his strength, it is still far better than his previous performance.
He even felt he might be able to defeat the Buddha's disciple.
He consumed one-third of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, and after assessing the situation, he stopped his plan to continue consuming it.
"My body has fully recovered," the Buddha Son Shigong laughed heartily. "I must thank Holy Son Zhang for this; this is your Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root!"
The Buddha Son Shigong's right hand formed a palm shape, and he swung it towards the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root.
He had previously tried with all his might but could not break the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus. Now, with a single slash, the joint of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus made a crisp sound. He reached out and pulled, and the lotus threads covered with countless red juices were pulled out, and the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus was split into two sections.
He tossed the sliced Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root toward Zhang Xuezhou. Before the Buddha Son Shigong could even exert his strength, Zhang Xuezhou caught the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root with his left hand and swiftly slashed downwards with the Fish Intestine Sword in his right hand.
The weapon emitted a faint, cold light, and it sliced through the tough, stringy lotus root fibers.
"What a divine weapon!"
The Buddha Son Shigong, gave a sigh of praise.
Although he still harbored thoughts of plotting against Zhang Xuezhou for consuming the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, and also wanted to drag Zhang Xuezhou into taking the blame, his praise for the Fish Intestine Sword was genuine.
The short sword in Zhang Xuezhou's hand was extremely powerful, stronger than any weapon that Buddha Son Shigong had ever seen before.
A sword that can cut a hair in two can be called a sharp sword, but the lotus root of the Ling Si Yu Ou is sticky and tough. Even when Buddha Son Shigong used his sword, he couldn't cut it at all. He originally wanted to solve the problem by pulling each other, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xuezhou cut the lotus root with a single sword stroke.
This sword is undoubtedly sharp and powerful; if one could use their Qi and Blood to wield it, the power it would unleash would be extremely terrifying.
For example, the Buddha's disciple who competed with Buddha Son Shigong and others might have his physical body injured.
He gazed enviously at the Fish Intestine Sword in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, his eyes still showing a hint of reluctance.
"You said the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root can nourish the body, but has it grown down there yet?"
When Zhang Xuezhou asked out of curiosity, the Buddha Son Shigong put away his many thoughts.
He lifted up his pants to take a look, then gestured.
"It's grown! I think it's great!"
"Wonderful!"
Zhang Xuezhou praised it highly.
Watching helplessly as the Buddha Son Shigong released the power that had locked his body's Yang energy and even allowed his injured parts to heal, he couldn't help but feel a stirring of desire within him.
He had almost all the ingredients for the Nine Treasures Wine, waiting only to successfully brew it and then use the Human Pill to break through to the Sole Self Realm with the help of massive resources.
Before attempting to break through to a higher realm, he clearly needed to remove the sealing power of the Locking Sun Technique to avoid only being able to use 20% of his Law Power.
"Congratulations on your liberation from your troubles, Buddhist disciple. Since you Wuyang, I shall take my leave!"
Zhang Xuezhou clasped his hands in congratulations.
He carefully gathered the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, planning to consume it at a suitable time in the next few days.
"Zhang Shengzi, don't you plan to consume the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root now?" asked the Buddha Son Shigong.
"I might have to wait a few days..."
"This Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root is of great importance. I hope the Holy Son can consume it quickly, lest the Sect Leader track him down and bring disaster upon us!"
When Zhang Xuezhou was about to explain, Buddha Son Shigong quickly urged him on with a couple of sentences.
"I see!"
Taking everything and leaving nothing behind is obviously the best way to avoid being tracked down. Zhang Xuezhou looked at the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root in his hand, and then at the small half-section remaining in the hand of the Buddha Son Shigong.
"Now it's just the two of us who have this need. If your Law Power is even higher when you're locked up by Suoyang, I can give you everything I have, so you won't have to deal with this piece of spirit silk jade lotus root anymore," said the Buddha Son Shigong.
"What you say makes perfect sense, Buddhist disciple!"
Zhang Xuezhou wanted to find a good opportunity to consume the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, but the right time was not yet ripe, and the Buddha Son Shigong was willing to give him an extra section.
If the Nine Treasures Wine hadn't been left unfinished, he would have been happy to stay here and use Suoyang to break through to the Sole Self Realm- Mastery Realm. If he ran out of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he could take Suoyang again and rely on Lingsi Jade Lotus Root to eliminate the drawbacks.
"Then I'll give it a try!"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't think about it for long.
He took the ice ladle handed to him by the Buddha Son Shigong, scooped up a ladle of water, and began to gnaw on the Ling Si Jade Lotus Root.
The sticky, rubbery texture was overwhelming. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Ling Si Jade Lotus Root had no sweetness at all, but instead carried a hint of bloodiness.
How are you feeling?
It was difficult to see Zhang Xuezhou's expression behind the golden mask. Watching Zhang Xuezhou slowly chew the Ling Si Yu Lotus Root, occasionally taking a sip of water, and eating in an orderly and graceful manner, the Buddha Son Shigong felt that he had been extremely embarrassed before.
He asked with concern, and Zhang Xuezhou nodded, his sticky lips clearly unsuitable for speaking.
Even the Buddha Son Shigong couldn't guess Zhang Xuezhou's actual feelings at that moment, so he could only wait and see.
"When you find your body weak and unable to support yourself with your Qi and Blood, you'll naturally try to find a way. If you have a way, I'll learn it while I'm at it..."
The Buddha Son Shigong, harbored his own ulterior motives.
He was quite certain that there was more than one way to remove the stagnation.
If the consequences of consuming the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root are significant, the Kunlun Holy Son in front of him is highly likely to give it up.
He didn't want to struggle with the research alone; he just wanted to see how Zhang Xuezhou would solve the problem.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou continuously chewing and consuming the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, his heart kept rising and falling, and he kept a close eye on Zhang Xuezhou's body.
"Zhang Shengzi?"
The time that Buddha Son Shigong waited was not long.
When Zhang Xuezhou swallowed half of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, he saw Zhang Xuezhou's body suddenly go limp, and he shrank by half, clothes and all.
If it weren't for the jade lotus root stuck in their mouth, their mask would have fallen off.
The Buddha Son Shigong was overjoyed and quickly asked another question.
"What's wrong?" asked the Buddha Son Shigong.
"This Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root is very effective, I feel great!"
Previously, Zhang Xuezhou's physical body technique had been pierced by the thirteen fingers of the Immortal Court King Shan, and he never expected that the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus would also cause him to lose his technique.
Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition was broken again because he had not mastered the Four Directions Locking Technique.
He felt the spiritual silk and jade lotus root impacting every part of his body. This powerful medicine made his bones more flexible and his muscles more elastic. It even gave him a feeling of cultivating physical body techniques and the Nine Revolutions Qi Integration Technique.
If it weren't for the limitations imposed by his cultivation level, Zhang Xuezhou would have even wanted to push these two techniques to the next level right now.
Zhang Xuezhou is in very good health.
Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou could feel the Law Power within his body becoming increasingly flexible, no longer like a stagnant pool of water, which he could only sense but could not draw upon.
His Law Power and Demon Power are being gradually unsealed, and his true strength is returning to normal.
