What is this situation!
Yun Ze's pupils trembled, and he could even feel the surrounding water forming a vortex, constantly converging towards Bu Bu's location.
He quickly placed his hand on the immortal jade in his embrace, controlled the power of water, and swam towards the center of the vortex.
Instantly, Yun Ze gained control of the entire Wanqing Lake.
Now, all the water in Wanqing Lake was spinning around Bu Bu alone, even affecting the flower boats at the edge of the lake.
If this continued, the yamen runners would surely enter the water to find the source, and it might even draw the attention of that immortal!
This absolutely would not do!
Although there were few good people among the yamen runners, Yun Ze did not want to involve innocent people, nor did he want to attract the attention of that immortal.
He could only use the power of the immortal jade to try his best to calm the lake water, and then swim through the currents towards Bu Bu.
As soon as Yun Ze reached Bu Bu, he sensed an extremely vast aura, a feeling that could make him feel oppressed!
"Bu Bu!"
Yun Ze, unsure of Bu Bu's current situation, directly asked, "Are you alright!"
Bu Bu did not answer, but merely opened her eyes, revealing a pair of eyes dyed a deep blue.
Years later, Yun Ze would realize how foolish he was at that moment, asking a question when Bu Bu was about to break through.
If he had accidentally interfered with Bu Bu, it was very likely that both of them would have perished.
The next moment!
Bu Bu closed her eyes, the lake water began to return to calm, the oppressive feeling gradually disappeared, and Yun Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly swam to Bu Bu's side and anxiously asked, "Bu Bu, what was that just now..."
"I was breaking through."
Before Yun Ze could finish speaking, Bu Bu directly explained, "Don't ask me why I broke through, and don't tell that guy about my breakthrough. Just pretend you don't know anything."
"Ah?"
"No 'ah's."
Bu Bu glanced at Yun Ze and directly pointed at his lower abdomen.
Yun Ze instinctively wanted to dodge, but Bu Bu was too fast. Before he could react, a warm current flowed into his lower abdomen from Bu Bu's finger.
This feeling was... that profound energy!
More than three times the profound energy in Yun Ze's body surged in instantly!
As soon as Yun Ze reacted, he felt this newly infused profound energy merge with his own, instantly expanding his lower abdomen, as if it would explode at any moment!
Bu Bu watched all of this indifferently, then calmly uttered two words: "Breathe."
Breathe?
If he breathed now, wouldn't he be more likely to explode!
No matter, if he did nothing, it might lead to more problems. Let's try this plan first!
Yun Ze, as if grasping a life-saving straw, began to breathe using the method taught by the old gentleman.
As the number of breaths increased, the ball of profound energy in his lower abdomen actually began to condense and refine!
Although its volume was shrinking, its quality began to increase at an unimaginable rate!
Soon, the surrounding water currents also began to spin towards Yun Ze as before!
Yun Ze hurriedly closed his eyes and began to multitask, using his breath to compress the profound energy while also using the immortal jade to calm the lake water.
As time passed, the profound energy in his lower abdomen condensed into a vortex, and then stopped refining, gradually beginning to grow.
"Hoo..."
Yun Ze exhaled a turbid breath, opened his eyes, and looked at Bu Bu.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Bu Bu say first, "Don't ask. Just remember that all of this is the result of your recent cultivation."
"Why?" Yun Ze still asked instinctively.
Bu Bu was too mysterious!
First, there was the inexplicable strange strength, then she fainted after seeing the immortal jade, and after waking up, she said those strange words, and now this!
She only took half a quarter of an hour... no, to be precise, about a hundred breaths, to break through using the breathing method taught by the old gentleman, and she used a method similar to that of immortals to give all that profound energy to him!
He had witnessed all of this with his own eyes, so how could he not ask?
Bu Bu did not answer, but silently watched Yun Ze.
After a few breaths, she sighed again and said calmly, "You have two choices.
First, I will answer your questions, and then bury you here and leave with the immortal jade.
Don't worry, I will avenge your entire family afterward and complete what you haven't finished.
Second, pretend you know nothing, and when the time is right, I will tell you everything.
What do you choose?"
Yun Ze's brow furrowed.
These words sounded like a threat, but Bu Bu's tone was extremely calm, making it more like a negotiation, which sent a chill down his spine.
Her calmness seemed to be at odds with her age. It was this contrast that made Yun Ze feel fear, forcing him to believe that Bu Bu was capable of doing what she said.
If he died, he would never know the truth of all this.
"Ah?"
Yun Ze pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly exclaimed, "Bu Bu, did you see that! I broke through!"
Bu Bu rolled her eyes and said faintly, "What does breakthrough mean?"
"Hmm..."
Yun Ze pondered for a few breaths, knowing that he had inadvertently revealed a flaw, so he could only say in that tone again, "Hey, Bu Bu, did you see that? It seems like I've become an immortal just now!"
Bu Bu didn't even bother to roll her eyes this time. She just closed her eyes and said, "Alright, you continue. Call me again in three days."
"You're going to stay in the lake for three days? What will you eat then?" Yun Ze asked instinctively.
"If you can still feel hungry, there are plenty of fish and shrimp in this lake."
After speaking, Bu Bu sank towards the bottom of the lake. Just as Yun Ze was about to follow, he heard her speak again, "And don't come near me."
"Alright."
Yun Ze could only shrug and stay put.
He looked down at his lower abdomen and even touched his belly.
The sensation was no different from before, but the power accumulated within him was no longer comparable, and could even be said to be a different thing altogether.
If the profound energy before was like scattered air, then the profound energy in his body now was like water condensed from air!
At this moment, he was completely different from an ordinary person.
Is this why immortals are called immortals?
Yun Ze looked at his palm, as if he had personally pushed open a mysterious door.
Right!
He suddenly remembered something!
Since he, as a mortal, had no reaction when using the immortal jade, but could control the lake water after learning the breathing method.
Now that he was also considered half an immortal, what would happen if he used the immortal jade again!
Yun Ze, full of curiosity, reached out and touched the immortal jade in his embrace.
When he poured profound energy into the immortal jade again... surprise descended!
