Huangfu Yi lay on his back in the Blood River, looking at the dissipating smoke and rain, as the East gradually brightened and the sky lightened little by little, feeling an unprecedented tranquility in his heart.
He didn’t know how long he had been lying there when suddenly, in his field of view, a Catfish ca up to look at him, blew a bubble, and spoke in a systematic voice,
"Hmph, two wastes managed to beat you up like this, they’re really useless!"
Huangfu Yi looked at it,
"So am I considered a waste now?"
"Did you think I was complinting you? Hmph! Don’t lie there slacking off! Get up and continue practicing! Lick yourself up!"
"Bleh bleh bleh!"
The Catfish wildly wagged its tongue across Huangfu Yi’s face, leaving it with a fishy saliva taste. After finishing, it even spat twice and used its fin to wipe the blood off its tongue, as if it was quite disgusted...
Huangfu Yi frowned, wiped off the fish spit on his face, and suddenly realized that his injuries had already healed. Supporting himself, he sat up from the pool of blood, looked around, and saw the dilapidated temple was in chaos. The Blood River had mostly either seeped into the ground or been completely absorbed by him, leaving only a stinking muddy swamp like a flood. The mysterious Catfish was nowhere to be found.
However, all his injuries were healed. With the help of nurous Heavenly Materials Treasures and the sacrificial assistance of a certain altar master, the many wounds on his body had completely healed in just one night.
As for his ridian and energy sea, they had naturally returned to normal. Although the True Qi power in his energy sea had been emptied, Huangfu Yi could feel that the accumulated power had not entirely dissipated. Instead, it had been fully absorbed and digested by his body during the healing process, likely deeply ingrained into his bones and integrated into his Essence Blood.
At this mont, concentrating inwardly, he could even sense that the crystal seed in his brow and the lotus seed at his heart had already connected with his blood vessels and ridians, organically rging with his own organs. With the pulse of his heartbeat and rush of blood, they slowly trembled, his entire ordinary and extraordinary ridians, muscles, and bones fully restored anew, yet containing an indescribable energy. He felt as light as a swallow, experiencing a rebirth, Bone Marrow Cleansing, like gaining new life.
He seed to have beco stronger, and...very strong...
Huangfu Yi could confirm he had leveled up. But this ti, his strength differed from Body Refinent with Gang Fist or Qi Refining with Inner Strength, seemingly not dependent on the amount of ’Qi’, hence it was hard to determine exactly how much stronger he had beco...
But it didn’t matter, anyway, he had realized on this journey that soon enough, another bunch of demons would co his way to help him upgrade, and then he could test and see.
So Huangfu Yi searched his pot, looking through the constable’s boiled and dissolved fat, finding his heap of equipnt in the blood-soaked ground, and upon leaving the temple, saw that enormous Flood Dragon corpse, dozens of feet long, fallen to the ground, creating deep ravines, with rivers of blood flowing. The hideous and fearso dragon head stared deathlessly, with the color gone from its giant eyes, still glaring at the blood-stained youth.
"Growl~"
He was hungry...
Oh well, in life, it’s either you eat or I eat you. Last night I nearly beca your al, today I’ll turn you into dung, such is the cycle of cause and effect, inevitable retribution.
Having just recovered, hunger gnawing at his belly, Huangfu Yi wasn’t shy. Drawing an iron rod imbued with sword light, he pried open the dragon head at a broken point, first extracting and eating the Dragon Ball, then slicing pieces of sashimi, searing them with sword fire before chewing them up and swallowing them down with Dragon Marrow, thus avenging the past almost-cooking grudge.
Having eaten for an hour and only half-full, suddenly a breeze curled, bringing two clusters of Thunder Light leaping from the horizon, landing as two graceful silhouettes. Protected by so kind of magic treasure, electric light circled them, with jade-colored thunder shrouding their forms. One big and one small, it was hard to see their faces, but their Qi Sensation pressure was clearly a notch lower than the two wastes from last night. They were likely just two pieces of garbage.
Huangfu Yi knew a dragon this big dying here would surely attract plenty of garbage to contest, but there was enough at to go around, so he couldn’t be bothered with others, just focused on eating his fill.
Little did he know, those two pieces of garbage got angry when he ignored them and coldly snorted, raising their hand to summon thunder, "Boom!" clashing a jade thunder to his shoulder, charring the at in his hand.
"Audacious thief! How dare you steal from our Songshan Mountain! Get lost now!"
Huangfu Yi, used to such unreasonable developnts, unemotionally brushed the ash from his shoulder, turned his head while drawing his stick, and said,
"Isn’t Songshan Mountain in Sizhou Henan? How did you manage to claim this land of Hedong in Qianzhou under your Songshan?"
Seeing he remained unhard after taking a thunderclap, the mid-sized one was stunned, slightly worried,
"Senior sister, he wasn’t even moved by the Wood God Thunder, seems he has so skill. What if he was the one who killed the demon dragon, then what should we do..."
The small one cursed,
"Look at your pitiful spirit, he’s so weak and his Qi fading, even if he did slay the dragon, he’s out of energy. What are you afraid of!
We’re here for experience, it’s all about contesting when opportunities arise! With such good stuff before us, if we don’t fight and seize it, what will we accomplish? How can we cultivate as Immortals! Just going to let others hand you good things!"
The big one curiously asked,
"Isn’t that possible?"
"I, you, aargh you’re driving mad! Hey brat! I saw the dragon first, it’s mine! You can’t have it! Get lost!"
The small senior sister finished cursing and then attacked, flinging an Infinite Heaven-stirring Ruler, the ruler entirely of jade, engraved with dragons and phoenixes, exquisite beyond compare. Not only did it have True Breath soaring to the sky, but Divine Thunder also guarded it, growing with the wind, in an instant cleaving the sky and earth, crashing down!
