Chapter 288 The Rampant Use of Elixirs
Even after the two finished eating the barbecue, the embers of the fire still radiated warmth.
Xiaoman took out the love pill from her bosom and said to Shizi, "Sister Xiaoya said in her letter that I can take this pill when I break through to the Innate Realm."
I plan to take it now and see how it goes. Would you mind protecting me?
Upon hearing this, Shi Zi frowned: "Are you sure? Didn't Sister Xiao Ya say in her letter that if you have any questions, you should go to her?"
"Putting aside where Sister Xiaoya is now, we haven't heard from her at all over the years. If I don't try now, who knows when I'll get another chance!"
Xiaoman ran her fingertips along the cool bottle: "I've been at the Innate Realm for quite some time now, so I'll try it out myself first. I think it should be fine!"
Shi Zi nodded: "Alright, but you must be careful."
Xiaoman responded and then opened the bottle cap.
In an instant, a clear and strange fragrance wafted out, like orchids and musk, with the rich aroma of herbs and trees, which made the two of them pause in surprise.
This exotic fragrance was something they had never smelled before.
Xiaoman poured the pill into her palm. The pill was only the size of her fingertip, perfectly round, and had a slightly smooth surface.
Shi Zi looked at the small pill and couldn't help but mutter, "Sister Xiao Ya is too stingy. Just one pill, and such a small one at that."
Little did he know how much effort Yun Dan had put into this "Gathering Power Pill".
Just finding these few key medicinal ingredients took us across three mountains;
It failed several times during the refining process, and it took almost two months to finally refine one.
If Yun Dan were here right now, she would definitely give him a flick on the forehead to teach him a lesson for talking so much.
Xiaoman looked at Shizi: "I'm going to take it. No matter what happens later, you keep a close eye on things."
Shi Zi nodded emphatically: "Don't worry."
Xiaoman said no more and put the Power Gathering Pill into her mouth.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed directly into the dantian.
He quickly sat cross-legged and focused his mind on circulating the Linglong Kung Fu.
As soon as the technique was activated, the warm current in the dantian surged like an exploding river, instantly spreading throughout the limbs and bones.
Within the meridians, the previously dormant internal energy was awakened by this power and began to surge and circulate.
Just then, he clearly felt the indescribable foreign object inside his body, which suddenly became active, like a wild beast that had smelled blood.
Although he didn't know where the strange object was hiding, he could clearly sense that the surging internal energy within his body was being pulled by an invisible suction force.
They all frantically converged in the same direction, which was obviously the direction of the strange object.
The internal energy emitted by the Gathering Power Pill was continuous.
Part of it was absorbed by his meridians and led somewhere, while the other part was greedily seized by that foreign object.
The two seemed to be engaged in a silent struggle within the body.
At first, it was still balanced, but as time went on, the suction of the foreign object became stronger and stronger.
Not only would they steal all the internal energy emitted by the pill, but they would also steal his own internal energy.
Xiaoman felt as if her meridians were being pierced by countless fine needles, causing her to feel swollen and painful. It was as if all the blood in her body was rushing to one place, making her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
He was completely unaware that the internal energy surging within his body had uncontrollably dissipated.
A current of air was generated around him, causing even the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
The pebbles outside were also startled by his actions.
The sheer power of this overflowing internal force far exceeded his expectations, like a dam filled with water about to collapse.
He clenched his fists and stared intently at Xiaoman's eyes.
His forehead veins bulged, and sweat streamed down his face, quickly soaking his clothes.
He looked as if he had been pulled out of the water, as if he was enduring immense pain.
Shi Zi was anxious, but dared not make any rash moves.
He knew that when others were practicing their internal energy cultivation, they should not be disturbed. If they were not careful, they might suffer from internal energy deviation, which could result in serious injury or even death.
But looking at Xiaoman's pained and contorted face, he couldn't suppress his worry, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
The situation during Xiaoman is becoming increasingly dangerous.
The suction force of the foreign object grew increasingly frantic, and the internal energy of the pill was like a flood bursting its banks, being continuously devoured by it.
He tried to use his internal energy to stop it, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; he was completely powerless to resist.
The swelling and pain in my meridians grew stronger and stronger, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
He tried countless methods of circulating his internal energy, attempting to divert it, but the suction force was like a persistent, bone-deep wound, locking onto all his internal energy.
No matter how much he struggled, he could not change the fate of being frantically drained.
"what--!"
Finally, in an extreme pain, Xiaoman couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, her voice filled with an uncontrollable roar.
The stone that was protecting him outside was startled by his loud shout and trembled all over.
He couldn't care less about anything else and shouted urgently, "Xiaoman! Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?"
But Xiaoman was already immersed in the storm within her body, and her consciousness was somewhat blurred, so she could no longer hear his shouts.
He lay on the ground, writhing in agony, his hands clutching the front of his shirt as if trying to tear the tormenting force from his body.
"Damn it! How could this happen?"
Seeing this, Shi Zi could no longer stand idly by.
He instantly appeared beside Xiaoman and pulled her up from the ground, where she was still rolling around.
Without hesitation, she placed both palms on his chest and used her own Linglong Divine Skill to try to transfer her internal energy to him, hoping to help him stabilize his breathing.
To his surprise, his internal energy was instantly sucked away by the powerful suction force within Xiaoman's body as soon as it entered her body, without even causing a ripple.
Shi Zi felt a tremendous force coming from the other person's body, as if it were going to drain his internal energy as well.
His cultivation level has not yet broken through to the Innate Realm, and his internal strength is far inferior to Xiaoman's.
At this moment, probing into Xiaoman's body, I felt as if I had fallen into a bottomless river.
He was surrounded by surging, turbulent power that threatened to engulf him entirely.
Just when he was about to give up and his internal energy was about to be completely drained.
Suddenly, he detected a faint difference in this raging torrent of internal energy.
The flow of blood in one meridian was noticeably sluggish, as if it were blocked by something, making it appear particularly weak.
This weak point was like a shallow beach in a great river, allowing him to finally find a foothold when he was on the verge of suffocation.
He quickly gathered his remaining internal energy and probed along that weak point.
Gradually use your own internal strength to nourish and unblock.
Internal energy was slowly injected into this stagnant passage, attempting to revitalize it.
The veins on Shi Zi's forehead bulged, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were almost bleeding from being bitten. He was holding on by sheer willpower.
