The second portion of Jade Dew has been completed.
Su Ziyu still has quite a bit of energy value collected earlier, enough to refine one or two more portions of Jade Dew.
As agreed, Sister Fried helps him deal with the Lords of Cinder, and he provides the Jade Dew. Though it's unclear if this has any effect on the zombified Sister Fried, he plans to share the second portion. The more Jade Dew one consus, the weaker the effect, but once it has no effect, two new attributes are gained: Body of Purity and Innate Qi.
Pop.
Su Ziyu directly unscrews the Demon Gourd and pours out the refined Jade Dew. Soon, a rich Spiritual Qi transforms into a faint cloud and erges.
However, the way Spiritual Qi manifests in this world sowhat resembles souls, tiny unnoticed gleams. On this plane, there's no concept of Spiritual Qi. The main energy cos from souls, with the most powerful being the royal souls found in the First Fla.
The attribute of the Demon Gourd is to convert things with spirituality into attributeless energy.
As Su Ziyu pours out the Jade Dew, Sister Fried shifts her gaze toward him, her eyes still revealing a hint of desire, perhaps even more intense than before.
"Try it," Su Ziyu hands the cup of Jade Dew to her.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Sister Fried directly takes the cup and swallows it whole. Instantly, a warm current surges within her body, similar to the sensation Su Ziyu felt after drinking Jade Dew. However, there are significant differences; the remnants of fla on Sister Fried's body's surface beco more evident, as if a burning ember suddenly had gasoline poured on it.
The fla flares intensely.
"It's the power of the soul!..." Sister Fried murmurs: "No, that's not right!..."
"And also..."
"Residual humanity?..."
Changes occur at a speed perceptible to the naked eye. Sister Fried's previously shriveled zombified body suddenly fills out a bit. You can see her hands and neck gradually show traces of flesh tone, as if inflated, her body expands slightly, and there is even a hint of blood color under the barely visible skin.
Sister Fried closes her eyes with an expression of enjoynt, breathing slowly while the remnants of fla on her body gradually disappear.
Though not completely restored to the initial state, she appears much fuller than before.
The zombified blemishes on the back of her hands have faded sowhat.
"I want more!..." Sister Fried suddenly opens her eyes, staring intensely at Su Ziyu.
Her expression is imnsely eager.
Imnsely eager.
Eager to the point of intensity, staring at Su Ziyu: "Is there more?"
"No more," Su Ziyu shakes his head.
The refinent of Jade Dew takes ti. Unlike Immortal Brew, which is a restorative item, refining Jade Dew requires at least an entire day.
"Do you need more souls?" Sister Fried continues to ask: "I can find so now."
"Yes," Su Ziyu checks the remaining energy value, considering he also needs to drink quite a bit, and nods: "Souls might be slightly insufficient."
Upon hearing this, Sister Fried imdiately says: "There's a large tomb underneath Falan Fortress."
"It's the Kassas Underground Tomb suppressed by the Falan Undead Squad."
"There are many souls there!"
Su Ziyu thinks it over: "No rush. Let's go after dawn."
The function of Jade Dew is tamorphosis.
This is the saying in Eastern Civilization; its more specific effect is to use attributeless pure energy to transform the body, which can be absorbed by humans or demons. After absorption, it permanently enhances physical attributes and energy value limits, and additionally increases lifespan limits.
Su Ziyu didn't feel much of an enhancent in physical attributes, likely because his physical capacity was already well enhanced.
As it currently stands.
The Jade Dew refined by the Demon Gourd is effective for beings like Sister Fried, who are remnants without fire, or undead potentially born from flas.
But there is now a problem.
If Sister Fried can absorb Jade Dew, will she gain two new attributes after drinking enough?
Or so other ability?
She said she felt the power of residual humanity.
Su Ziyu didn't feel anything, as he is still a normal living person and his humanity was sealed by the Hourglass of Ti, without much loss.
What exactly is humanity in this world?
Losing humanity leads to becoming a frenzied zombie, so humanity here should not be solely psychological, it probably also includes physiological attributes, otherwise losing humanity wouldn't result in zombification traits.
Will Sister Fried beco human from remnants without fire if she keeps drinking?
In this special world, it's said that the earliest royal soul holders were born from the sludge of darkness.
Sister Fried obviously ponders this possibility.
She has the most direct feeling of her body's transformation, and now what she feels is flesh, differing from the body ford by embers, a touch of flesh exists within her body, and even her skin has a finer sensation.
She craves the energy contained within Jade Dew.
A body constructed of remnants without fire longs for this energy. This energy can reshape her flesh, replacing the burnt remnants as components of her body.
Just like a strong longing for remnants of fla.
Moreover, deep within Sister Fried's heart, a trace of desire and greed toward the Demon Gourd arises, but she swiftly suppresses this slight human greed.
Humanity truly has been restored.
Humanity inherently contains nurous desires. Due to the resurgence of humanity, a trace of coveting the Demon Gourd erges within her.
Originally, what Sister Fried desired was just Su Ziyu's head, because that was the mission born from remnants without fire.
Su Ziyu noticeably feels Sister Fried's gaze falling on the Demon Gourd several tis, yet she does not make any move, so he naturally won't make overly cautious maneuvers. After all, he can't fully trust Sister Fried.
Ti ticks by.
Soon, the sky gradually brightens. Sister Fried pulls the Spiral Sword out of the campfire, looks up at Su Ziyu while getting up, and seriously repeats: "I'll help you gather souls."
"I'll help you against the Lords of Cinder."
"You give that stuff!… It's very important to !…"
Su Ziyu solemnly nods: "Okay."
She probably won't grab the Demon Gourd by force, or she wouldn't deliberately repeat their trade once more.
"Let's go."
"I know where the souls are." Sister Fried glances at the distant Falan Fortress and even further away, softly saying: "Many, many souls."
"Souls buried underground…"
