Chapter 280: Breaking Through the Limit (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lian Xi, who had run hundreds of meters away, turned around and saw this scene. His eyes almost popped out.
How was this possible?!
That Thunder Bead was his life-saving move. Once hit head-on, even a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator with more than thirty meridians would be severely injured if not dead. However, that person blocked it without any injuries!
What was going on?
Lian Xi’s heart sank.
Whoosh!
The sound of clothes fluttering suddenly came from behind him. Lian Xi looked over and saw that Lin Shen had already caught up. His speed was faster than lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was within a hundred meters of Lian Xi.
In the next moment, a hundred-meter-long crimson palm appeared out of thin air and slapped down at Lin Xi with a domineering aura that crushed everything!
A mountain-like pressure suddenly descended and enveloped Lian Xi.
His face turned pale in an instant. He was about to beg for mercy, but before he could make a sound, the scarlet palm had already smashed down heavily.
With a loud bang, Lian Xi and the trees within a radius of dozens of meters were reduced to ashes!
Lin Shen floated over leisurely and waved his hand. A sleeve pouch broke through the scorched earth and landed in his palm.
He opened his pouch and roughly glanced at it. Apart from seven or eight Cast Spirit Pills, there was nothing of value.
Luo Deng’s storage ring was about the same.
Lin Shen could not help but shake his head.
The two of them were really poor. Had they used all their wealth to exchange for the Xuandu Tokens?
Lin Shen casually threw the item into his storage ring and left without looking back. He prepared to find a secluded place and take the Mystic Essence Liquid to condense his spirit meridians.
About half an hour after Lin Shen left, a graceful woman in a snow-white dress and a veil suddenly appeared.
She looked around and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise in her limpid eyes.
“Such fierce power. The person has at least forty meridians. There’s actually such a powerful cultivator in the Xuandu Meeting?”
The woman’s eyes flickered, and she revealed a thoughtful expression.
After a while, she came back to her senses and disappeared on the spot.
There were many caves in the forest.
Not long after, Lin Shen found a remote cave. He looked around and saw that there were no traces of wild beasts living inside, so he used the Cleansing Talisman to clean the cave. Then, he sat down cross-legged, took out the beast trap bag that imprisoned the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, and released it.
As soon as he came out of the beast trap bag, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit wanted to escape, but Lin Shen easily caught him.
“Little fellow, 1 advise you not to think about escaping. Otherwise, I’ll have to give you a hard time!”
As if understanding Lin Shen’s words, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit pressed his palms together and made a begging gesture. He looked at Lin Shen pitifully.
Lin Shen laughed and said, “It’s not easy for you to cultivate, and I don’t want to kill you unless I have to. How about this? Hand over the Mystic Essence Liquid you’ve condensed, and I’ll let you go. How about that?”
The Mystic Essence Wood Spirit lived by absorbing the spiritual essence emitted by the spirit wood and spirit herbs. At the same time, it would feed the condensed Mystic Essence Liquid to the accompanying spirit wood and spirit herbs to promote their growth.
Therefore, losing the Mystic Essence Liquid wouldn’t affect the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit much. At most, it would take a few more years to condense the liquid.
Hearing Lin Shen’s words, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was overjoyed and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Lin Shen glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “You’d better not play tricks. If 1 find out, I’ll use you for alchemy!”
Upon hearing the word alchemy, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit immediately shuddered and shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Shen saw this and laughed inwardly. He took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
The Mystic Essence Wood Spirit’s face was bitter. He stretched out his fair hand and used his other hand to cut his palm. He squeezed hard, and something immediately flowed out.
It wasn’t blood, but drops of milky-white liquid that emitted a faint glow. It was undoubtedly the Mystic Essence Liquid!
When no more liquid flowed out of the wound, there were already five drops of Mystic Essence Liquid in the porcelain bottle.
The Mystic Essence Wood Spirit frowned and endured the pain as he looked eagerly at Lin Shen.
Lin Shen looked closely and saw that the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit’s face was pale and dispirited. He knew that the little fellow had indeed tried his best, so he kept his promise and let him go.
As soon as he was released, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit still couldn’t believe it. He was stunned for a moment before he woke up from his daze. He bowed repeatedly to Lin Shen before happily burrowing into the ground. His aura soon disappeared.
Lin Shen smiled and summoned his Analogy clone back.
He took out a drop of Mystic Essence Liquid and fed it to his clone before starting to condense spirit meridians.
Immediately after, Lin Shen summoned the clone of Amaze the World and also let it take the Mystic Essence Liquid and start cultivating.
As for Lin Shen, he stayed in the cave and protected the two clones.
At the same time, the other clones continued to search for traces of the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
After digesting the medicinal power of the two drops of Mystic Essence Liquid, the spirit meridians of the Analogy clone successfully increased to nineteen.
In order not to waste the medicinal power of the Mystic Essence Liquid, Lin Shen didn’t continue to let the Analogy clone consume the Mystic Essence Liquid. Instead, he used the Cast Spirit Pills.
After five Cast Spirit Pills, another spirit meridian was created, and the total number reached twenty.
After that, he consumed several Cast Spirit Pills, but there were no signs of condensing a new spirit meridian. Lin Shen immediately understood that twenty spirit meridians were the limit of the Analogy clone.
“As expected of a fourth-grade spirit meridian…”
As he had already guessed before, Lin Shen wasn’t too disappointed. Instead, he prepared to fuse with his clone..
