Chapter 1191: The Second Growth
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The situation went as smoothly as Xu Que thought it would.
He simply swore by his Inner Demons and he managed to get the eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits. Xu Que even took away the woman without the middle-aged man suspecting him.
It wasn’t until they had left that the middle-aged man’s face began to turn ice-cold. The other man was full of anger, “Brother, why did you let that b*tch go? Look at how she treated you, and you still couldn’t bear to kill her?”
“Ha, ha, you’re overthinking. Compared with a woman, those Inferior Celestial Artifacts are much more important! When we get the Inferior Celestial Artifacts, we’ll have many opportunities to settle accounts with both of them in the future!” The middle-aged man squinted, licked the cracked corners of his lips, and said with a sneer.
However, what they never expected was that just after they had left the mountain and flown less than a few hundred miles away, they received a message that shocked them. Zhan Gaoli died a few days ago. Someone pretending to be Zhan Gaoli just went into the Waste Realm!
“F*ck!” The middle-aged man went ballistic and almost mad. The other man was also bent out of shape. He was shaking and was too angry to speak. No matter how foolish they were, they knew that they had been taken for a ride. The person who took the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits was definitely the fake Zhan Gaoli! And since it was a false Zhan Gaoli, his oath in the name of Zhan Gaoli naturally had no effect!
“Scoundrel! I’ll never let him go!” The middle-aged man roared angrily, turned around, and dashed off in the other direction.
..…
At the same time, far away on the other side of the Waste Realm, Xu Que had already gotten rid of the young woman. He was riding on his Firestorm Wheels and traveling at the speed of light!
Originally, he had wanted to inquire about the identity of the middle-aged man who had been with the woman, but, unexpectedly, while he was traveling, he was pursued and attacked by a group of people from the Zhan Family.
Xu Que’s disguised identity was exposed instantly, and, without hesitation, he turned around and fled. He left the young woman standing with a confused expression, unable to digest the situation for a long time.
However, in that Waste Realm, there were no aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage or stronger. If Xu Que had wanted to run away, no one could catch up with him at all.
He could have chosen to kill his opponent, but he didn’t.
On one hand, he felt it was unnecessary. On the other hand, he wasn’t sure how many people had been sent by his opponent. In case there were more powerful aces from the Earth Celestial Stage nearby and they surrounded him, it might be dangerous for him! Although he was in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage now and his strength was stronger than before, if he was dealing with dozens of aces at the Earth Celestial Stage at the same time, he had to flee.
After all, this would be a battle by chance; it wasn’t like the previous battles in the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch where he had so much time to arrange Trap and Kill Arrays and Six-color Fiery Lotuses! Hence, it was better to play it safe. Anyway, he would escape first, and, when he had refined all the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits—when his Cultivation Stage had advanced further—he would launch his attack then.
So Xu Que was flying aimlessly in the Waste Realm. When he found a safe place, he immediately used the Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet and changed his identity. Then he rushed thousands of miles away, found a concealed place, lay down a Protective Screen, and took out the eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits.
“Heh, heh, I have the best of luck. I got these eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits by swindling. If I can’t break through into the Earth Celestial Stage, I’m going to have a live broadcast of me eating sh*t!” Xu Que was full of confidence and he believed that with his talent, those eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits were absolutely enough to help him break through into the Earth Celestial Stage.
Of course, if it had been an ordinary cultivator in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, only two Aquamarine Kirin Fruits would help him enter the Earth Celestial Stage. But Xu Que was different, he had five Celestial Spiritual Roots, and the demand for Celestial Core Power was several times more than for ordinary people. The eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits were just right!
However, just when Xu Que had sat down and was ready to consume the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits for refining, there was a sudden faint notification sound that rang out in his mind.
Ding! “Abnormal activity was detected in the Host’s Dantian. The seeds of the Chaotic Green Lotus are about to enter its second growth. Please prepare in advance.” The System prompted.
Then he heard a loud sound of thunder coming from inside of his body. His Dantian was overflowing with rich Celestial Core Power before. But his Celestial Core Power was frenziedly pouring into the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus, which had just sprouted!
In the blink of an eye, Xu Que’s Celestial Core Power was completely sucked out, and he was reduced to being a weakling without Cultivation!
“D*mn it!”
Xu Que was dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
At such a crucial time, what’s wrong with this seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus? Second growth, d*mn it! You f*cking return me my Celestial Core Power!
However, he couldn’t recover his Celestial Core Power from the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus. Even if he activated the automatic recovery ability of the System in time, every trace of his Celestial Core Power recovered would be immediately absorbed by the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus; there would be no leftovers at all.
Now he really had not even a single drop of Celestial Core Power in his body, just like a Spell Master of the Six Gods’ Act; he had many powerful Cultivation Techniques but not a bit of Magic Points. The King of Tough-Acting Fist and Act-Tough King’s Leg relied on Acting Tough Points to exert their powers. However, if he wanted to exert The King of Tough-Acting Fist and Act-Tough King’s Leg, he had to rely on Celestial Core Power to stimulate them!
“That’s it. The seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus must be coveting my Aquamarine Kirin Fruits. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that it’s having its second growth now?” Xu Que was pulling a long face; he didn’t want to waste his Aquamarine Kirin Fruits on the seed.
The seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus needed a lot of Celestial Core Power, and the eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits would completely solve the problem. But he wanted to rely on those Aquamarine Kirin Fruits to break through into the Earth Celestial Stage once and for all. But now that he had to feed the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus, he was really unwilling.
The mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind—covet gains ahead without being aware of danger; Xu Que didn’t expect that he would be that mantis!
“No, I can’t waste the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits. I’d rather buy medicinal items with more Acting Tough Points!”
Xu Que gritted his teeth and exchanged medicinal items from the System Store! But the System Store’s medicinal items, when he was in the Half Celestial Stage, were still very useful, but now that he was in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, Xu Que was unsure of its effect.
Most important, when his Celestial Core Power was first sucked out by the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus, he took at least several thousand medicinal items. Now, the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus grew again, and Xu Que believed that a lot of Celestial Core Power would be needed.
…..
Seven days passed.
…..
Xu Que spent hundreds of thousands of Acting Tough Points and exchanged tens of thousands of medicinal items. He swallowed everything, but the Celestial Core Power produced couldn’t satisfy the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus at all. He could sense that the Celestial Core Power from the tens of thousands of medicinal items couldn’t satisfy even a percent of the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus!
In addition to the use of medicinal items, he also had a lot of Spirit Crystal Stones; those could provide a lot of Spiritual Qi. But seeing the outcome of the tens of thousands of medicinal items, Xu Que believed that all the Spirit Crystal Stones and its Spiritual Qi, when placed in front of the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus, it wasn’t worth mentioning; it was a drop in the bucket.
“Oh, my god! All right, you win. Just you wait. I’ll cook you one day with my own hands!”
At last, after a series of inner struggles, Xu Que decided to take out the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits to feed the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus. After all, he couldn’t defy the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus. If he didn’t satisfy it, he would be stuck in the awkward situation of having no Celestial Core Power to use. He would rather take the risk of feeding the seed of the Chaotic Green Lotus, and then go out to the Waste Realm to see if he could find more Aquamarine Kirin Fruits!
Whoosh!
Having that in mind, Xu Que acted without delay. He grabbed an Aquamarine Kirin Fruit and threw it into his mouth.
