Chapter 892: Chapter 891: Reversal of Medicinal Qi
Hou Niao slowly approached the layer of green mist without rushing in. With his limited understanding of spiritual treasures, this was not something that brute force could solve.
The green mist was very apparent from afar, but since it was called mist, it naturally had a process of turning from light to dense. He reached out his hand to feel the sensation of the green mist, unsure if he was now within it or how to truly enter it.
But since there was no resistance, perhaps he could get a little closer?
So, he moved a bit closer, feeling it again… closer still, touching it… until his entire body was surrounded by the dense green mist.
From the perspective of several cultivators nearby, this person was undoubtedly a visitor from the Upper Realm, as he drifted into the green mist without hesitation, just like a furtive person sneaking into a green shroud, wavering in decision yet his body acting honestly.
They couldn’t help but sigh, people are indeed different; even in the Cultivation World, where Innate Spiritual Treasures are known for their fairness, they look down upon others with the eyes of dogs.
…Hou Niao finally realized that he had probably entered?
There were no prompts, no tasks, no restrictions, nothing but endless green mist and endless green shrouds.
It seemed to form a world of its own, with no end, not even a spirit mechanism!
No one knew he had come, perhaps nobody cared if he left, but he wouldn’t leave before seeing his senior sister.
Mysteriously, with the intuition of a cultivator, he could somewhat discern the direction, whether it was forward or backward, as a certain aura was attracting him.
Then, a little figure covered in earthy green suddenly jumped out in front of him, indistinguishable in gender, more resembling a grass sprite plant monster, yelling loudly and waving a ridiculous medicine hoe viciously at him.
Since he was unclear about what this creature was, the best method was certainly to use Flying Sword Skill in response. A torrent of sword light shot out swiftly, easily striking the little green figure’s body in its futile swinging, but nothing happened!
This little green person had form without substance, soul without spirit, energy without pulses. Even as the Sword Gang exploded within its body, it couldn’t destroy any entity.
A chill ran through his heart as he realized that this might just be a special product within the Innate Spiritual Treasure, relying on the unique environment to possess all sorts of incredible wonders here?
He continued to try, Flying Sword Skill, Body Sword Skill, Sword Holding Skill… but all had the same result, failing to find a way to harm it!
Perhaps such a being would be easy to deal with outside, as to resist the might of heaven and earth, it must take on a certain form, but inside the Innate Spiritual Treasure Medicine King Furnace, these weren’t necessary.
Here, it seemed to be an immortal existence!
Yet its strength was astonishingly great, as the force shadow aroused by the little medicine hoe’s swings made Hou Niao dare not easily engage its edge.
He tried to communicate, but it was essentially like a chicken talking to a duck, neither understood what the other was saying, and even body language couldn’t quell the little green person’s slightest bit of hostility. From its eyes, Hou Niao could see a deep-seated abhorrence, not just towards him, but seemingly aimed at the human race.
Nor could he escape, for in this special environment, the little green person’s movement was not slower than his.
He had no options left.
Since Flying Sword Skill and Body Sword Skill were useless, and he couldn’t evade the nimble little green person with Vertical Escape, he could only temporarily use Sword Holding Skill, at least to block that chaotic little medicine hoe.
In terms of battle skills, the little green person was not worth mentioning, but if it was unafraid of the longsword piercing its body and solely focused on swinging its hoe, it caused Hou Niao great difficulty. He didn’t know how to end this nuisance, which was his biggest problem.
In the midst of entanglement, he noticed a peculiar phenomenon; the little green person’s true means of harm seemed not to be in the medicine hoe but in its mouth!
It wanted to eat him!
He had no doubt that this tiny body could swallow him. The Cultivation World had numerous beings with both large eyes and large stomachs. The devouring skill was uncommon at the human Golden Core level, but it was quite typical among those monsters.
Originally, such a fight would go on endlessly without unforeseen events until one side could no longer persist. He estimated that in this unique environment, it was likely that he couldn’t endure, as the little green person seemed able to absorb energy limitlessly here, with the green mist appearing like the best nourishment.
With this judgment, he hurriedly sought a method to resolve the situation. But neither swordsmanship nor Five Elements Mysterious Light succeeded, even two Ancient Thunder Talismans failed!
This was the first time he’d encountered an opponent that even the powerful Ancient Thunder Talisman couldn’t conquer, with all the skills he’d learned in cultivation falling short…
Facing such a despairing opponent, not because of its strong battle skills, but because it was wholly unaffected by attacks!
He could manage to drag it out indefinitely, but couldn’t solve the problem. The little green person’s energy flowed ceaselessly, whereas he was barely scraping by, crucially without a spirit mechanism here, he couldn’t replenish anything!
Anxiety filled his heart, and he became a bit careless. The little green person was clever, seizing the chance, stretching its neck and snapping its mouth!
Hou Niao was about to react but felt as if his body didn’t belong to him, realizing he’d unwittingly fallen into a trap, caught in the little green person’s paralysis. Though the time was short, he wasn’t sure what damage a bite to the face would cause?
In his urgency, he opened his mouth to exhale Qi Gang, but the paralysis seemed to freeze his mana as well. In desperation, he cared not about his image and expelled something to delay his paralysis, lacking Qi Gang, he used Jade Liquid.
Yes, it was saliva!
Heaven and earth conjoin to yield sweet dew.
This was entirely instinctive. A cultivator spitting in battle might symbolize something, but what else?
Yet this spit unexpectedly changed the course of the battle.
The little green person was hit with a spit on its face, letting out an earth-shattering shriek, as a large hole was corroded into its face with a spreading tendency…
Hou Niao’s battle experience was extraordinary, decisive in adversity, realizing something, he hesitated no more, instead opening his mouth to absorb!
The little green person was swallowed into his belly as if he were drinking a vial of oral medicine.
Green liquid entered his stomach, spreading an extremely pure power, its quality and efficacy surpassing even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, comparable to the Yuqing Spirit Machine’s potency; but he was unable to consume Yuqing Spirit Machine, whereas this turned out to be harmless?
Feeling blessings upon the soul, he instantly sat cross-legged, striving to digest the energy brought by the green liquid. This wasn’t from greed. In such an environment, seeking to enhance cultivation was driven by fear of some strange elements within this green liquid.
He worried too much; the green liquid transforming from the little green person was merely a form of pure energy, absorbed into the body, cycling repeatedly, and ultimately supplementing his Golden Core.
Still a significant boost!
