Chapter 1231 - Cultivators under the age of 180 are prohibited from browsing this section
Song Shuhang replied, “I want to conduct an experiment, and it needs your cooperation.”
When Kindness heard the word ‘experiment’, she slightly stiffened. “Senior, can I ask what kind of experiment you want to conduct?”
News circulated very fast in the Beast Realm, and even if she was in a small branch like the Black Horse Branch, Kindness would still be able to hear some rumors. For example, certain evil factions would conduct cruel experiments on some small monsters and weak humans. Another example was one regarding an ancient sect that used a large number of monsters and humans to perform blood sacrifices and so on.
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “I want to confirm a guess of mine. In the process, I would have to pour in some true qi into your body. However, rest assured, no harm will be caused to your body.”
Kindness raised her head to look at Song Shuhang, and then firmly said, “Okay. Senior Tyrannical Song, I will cooperate with you.”
The other party was someone at the Eighth Stage. If he really did want to use her in some evil experiment, would she even be able to resist?
Moreover, Senior Tyrannical Song gave her a kind and gentle feeling. Her intuition told her that he wasn’t an evil cultivator.
And so, she closed her eyes and stretched out her little hand towards Song Shuhang.
The scene looked just like a little girl about to get injected in the hospital.
“Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt,” Song Shuhang comforted her.
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed. When one was a child, both their parents and the doctors would probably say something like that just as they were about to give the child an injection.
Kindness: “?”
Song Shuhang stretched out his fingers and lightly pressed on Kindness’ wrist. After that, a strand of innate true qi entered her body.
Kindness was only at the First Stage Realm, so her sea of qi had yet to open, and the same was true for her meridians. This made it so that the true qi which entered her body would not be able to travel along her meridians, and it could only be directly integrated into her body, and then made to circulate between her heart, eye, and nose apertures alongside her ‘qi and blood energy’.
After a single round of circulation, under Song Shuhang’s control, the innate true yuan transformed into pure energy and merged into Kindness’ body. From her perspective, the effect she was experiencing would be akin to taking a ‘body tempering pill’.
As the cultivation techniques of both parties had come from a single source, Kindness’ body naturally accepted Song Shuhang’s true qi.
Kindness raised her head, and asked, “Is it over?”
She only felt that her body was warm and that her physique had slightly improved.
Song Shuhang pinched his chin in contemplation.
When his innate true yuan entered Kindness’ great apertures, he had sensed that the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts ‘Technique❯ and the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ were indistinguishable from one another.
However, the true yuan merely circulated around Kindness’ body, and did not provide her with any benefits.
Could it be that due to her realm being too low, the effects aren’t that prominent? Do I need to test it on a cultivator at the Second Stage Realm? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Seeing that Song Shuhang was not saying anything, she did not dare say anything, either.
The turtle shell continued to fly towards Song Shuhang’s temporary residence.
On the way there, Song Shuhang saw the stone block building on the grassland. That was where the members of the Black Horse Branch would go to deal with the horse spirit beasts that were reaching the end of their lifespan. It was also the place where they would store the spirit beast crystals.
Spirit beast crystals...
Thinking back to that turtle great master’s last statement... a divine skill that was compatible with spirit beasts...
There was also that practice method for the disciples of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect recorded on the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯...
Several memories flashed through Song Shuhang’s mind.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened.
Song Shuhang said, “Fellow Daoist Kindness, I have to run another experiment, is that okay with you?”
The little girl nodded in response.
Even if she were not to do anything, simply standing there near Song Shuhang would allow her qi and blood energy to continuously grow—merely staying with him was already a kind of opportunity for her.
After meeting Senior Tyrannical Song, her strength had begun to advance by leaps and bounds.
This showed just how great it was to master a foreign language!
At this time, she saw Song Shuhang bring out a spirit beast crystal.
From the aura of the spirit beast crystal, it seemed a horse’s spirit beast crystal. Its grade was not high, and it was only at around the Second Stage. Most of the spirit beast crystals which the Black Horse Branch obtained were also of such a grade.
What’s Senior Tyrannical Song planning on doing? Kindness’ curiosity was piqued.
At this time, she saw Senior Tyrannical Song open his mouth and directly crush the Spirit Beast Crystal before eating it like a biscuit.
Kindness’ eyes immediately widened.
H-he ate the spirit beast crystal?
People of the Black Horse Branch, who domesticated spirit horses, were very clear how hard these things were.
Worthy of someone at the Eighth Stage, he can even bite through something as hard as that.
Judging from Senior Tyrannical Song’s expression, it seems like the taste of the spirit beast crystal is pretty good...
Song Shuhang operated the ‘Whale Swallowing Technique’ to directly absorb the energy in the Second Stage spirit beast crystal.
For the current him, the energy within the spirit beast crystal was very weak, and he could directly absorb it just by willing it.
However, he did not do this, but controlled the energy of the horse-type spirit beast crystal, and separated a small strand of it. After that, just like before, he passed it over to Kindness.
Due to this not being Song Shuhang’s own true yuan, he put more care into manipulating it for fear of hurting Kindness.
When this small strand of ‘horse spirit beast crystal energy’ entered Kindness’ body, she shook slightly.
In the next moment, the ‘spiritual meditation technique’ of the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ naturally began to circulate.
The qi and blood energy in her heart, eye, and nose apertures surged at the same instant, rushed towards the strand of energy from the ‘horse spirit beast crystal’, and quickly began to assimilate it.
The energy that Song Shuhang transferred into her body was a very small amount; it was merely a small strand. As such, she was able to assimilate it quickly.
Thus, her qi and blood energy experienced another rise.
At the same time, the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ within her body transferred pure qi and blood energy back to Song Shuhang’s body.
Song Shuhang thought, It really worked.
Kindness’❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ allowed her to replace the function of the ‘spirit beast’. Compared to spirit beasts, her proficiency in the use of ‘energy’ was much higher.
Before reaching the Fifth Stage, spirit beasts would only cultivate by instinct. When the disciples of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect used a special method to transfer the extra energy of the spirit beast crystal into the body of the spirit beast, the spirit beast would instinctively absorb it, and then send some of the refined energy back to that disciple. However, by continuously repeating the process, a great amount of energy would be lost.
“I gotta try it again.” Song Shuhang isolated a slightly larger part of the horse spirit beast crystal’s energy, and transferred it over to Kindness’ body.
If it were to happen only once or twice, it might just be a coincidence.
He had to make it work at least three times to make sure of the validity of the experiment.
This time, the energy of the horse-type spirit beast crystal he isolated was larger than the previous one.
And so, it took a little more time for Kindness to complete the assimilation of the energy of this spirit beast crystal. Just like before, another wave of pure qi and blood energy was passed on back to Song Shuhang.
“One last time.” Song Shuhang carefully isolated an even larger part of the spirit beast energy and repeated the process.
Similar to the two previous times, Kindness assimilated the energy of the spirit beast crystal, and sent some of it back to him.
Kindness suddenly exclaimed, “Senior Tyrannical Song, I’m full!”
Song Shuhang: “?”
Kindness excitedly said, “The qi and blood energy in my Nose Aperture is already overflowing. I might break through the Ear Aperture now.”
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “So fast? Alright, let me help you. It’s a reward for your assistance in my experiment.”
After saying that, he isolated another strand of energy from the spirit beast crystal and sent it into Kindness’ ear aperture.
❄️❄️❄️
After 10 minutes or so...
Kindness lightly exhaled. The overflowing qi and blood energy in her Eye Aperture rushed towards her Ear Aperture and slammed into it, causing the Ear Aperture to directly open up.
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Kindness.”
Kindness hurriedly replied, “Thank you, Senior Tyrannical Song.”
Within such a short period of time, she had actually been able to directly jump over a small realm. This was something that she had never dared to even imagine happening before. All of this directly saved her more than a year of bitter cultivation.
Song Shuhang advised, “Now, you should sit down and meditate to consolidate your new realm.”
At this point in time, the two of them had already reached Song Shuhang’s temporary residence.
Kindness went to the side room and began meditating.
As for Song Shuhang, he returned to his room.
“The ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ seems to be an extension of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique. However, why was this cultivation technique not circulating within the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect?” Song Shuhang pinched his chin in contemplation.
Scarlet Heaven Sword replied, “Perhaps it experienced something similar to that magic weapon forging technique, and ended up getting lost at some point in time?”
“It feels like Slow-Witted Song just wanted to set up several insurances.” Song Shuhang took out some paper and pen, and began writing down the secret book of the human alliance which he had recorded in his memory.
“Do you want me to translate the text for you?” Scarlet Heaven Sword volunteered.
If it could take on the job of translating, even if it were only for a short while, it would be able to come out of the virtuous lamia’s belly.
Song Shuhang said, “No, I’m copying it down for other purposes.”
Scarlet Heaven Sword: “...” Come on, Old Song, can’t you just cooperate with me?
Song Shuhang took a deep breath after he finished writing down the secret book.
He took off his gloves and pressed his hands on the sheet of paper.
Song Shuhang thought, I hope I can get some useful information from this. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to find a way to make contact with that secret book of Great Master Turtle, which would be quite troublesome.
He activated the secret appraisal technique, and then 88,888 voices suddenly echoed in his mind.
Golden runes flew out of his eyes, transforming into a clock with its hands turning counterclockwise, and then the results of the appraisal emerged.
At the same time, liquid spurted out of Song Shuhang’s arm, but he simply sucked it back into his body, and so not a single drop was wasted.
[❮300 Ways for a Human to Live a Better Life in the Beast Realm❯ Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s handwritten version. There is only this copy in the world, and it was written for the sake of preserving the text.]
Song Shuhang: “...”
Fortunately, there was still other information coming from the appraisal.
[This secret book is a heritage book of the ‘All the Humans of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’. This alliance is an organization that ‘Song Beep~’ quietly established in the Beast Realm. The book contains 300 kinds of moves that enable humans to live better lives in the Beast Realm. It is also treated as something like the Gospel by the humans within the Beast Realm.]
Song Shuhang: “...”
Yup, ‘Song Beep~’ was definitely Slow-Witted Song.
[In addition to this, ‘Song Beep~’ hid a little secret inside the secret book. The ancestral cultivation technique of the ‘All the Humans of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ will allow one to acquire unexpected gains.]
