Immediately afterward, the pain from the clone’s explosion was transmitted to Song Shuhang. Song Shuhang’s face suddenly turned pale. “It hurts, I’m going to die… I’m going to die…” This level of pain was something that he hadn’t experienced for quite some time now… This reminded him of his terrifying experience in the scholarly faction’s world of the golden lotus. Back then, he and a group of scholarly faction big shots had been crushed under the black iron finger of the fat ball time and again.
Fortunately, the amount of time this pain lasted was just as long as it lasted for his clone, which was but an instant.
You just had to gnash your teeth and get through it.
But even if it was just for an instant, Song Shuhang’s face turned pale and cold sweat drenched his back as the pain assaulted his senses.
(Hahaha, now you know how amazing I am!] Doudou said triumphantly as it bit harder.
Medicine Master said, “Little friend Shuhang, you look like you’re in a lot of pain. Would you like a shot of painkillers? I’ve done some research on this, and have made one that works for those below the Sixth Stage.”
Song Shuhang took a deep breath, and bitterly said, “The pain has already passed, so there’s no need, Senior Medicine Master.”
Medicine Master nodded gently, and replied, “Okay, let me know if you need it next time.”
Ever since his hairstyle had changed from that messy one to this cool-looking one, he always got the feeling that Senior Medicine Master’s personality had also changed.
Can a change in hairstyle really change a person? After converting to Buddhism, you will have to shave your head bald. Does that have anything to do with this?
Medicine Master asked, “When will your clone regenerate?”
Song Shuhang replied, “I can’t tell for sure, but with every increase in my strength, the time that it takes my clone to revive shortens. However, as long as I am willing to consume a lot of spiritual energy, the clone can be restored faster.”
Previously, he had consumed almost all of the spiritual energy in his two golden cores to allow his clone to revive in advance.
Now he had four cores… so if things didn’t change, he should be able to revive his clone in advance twice.
Medicine Master held his chin for a moment, and said, “If you consume a lot of spiritual energy, you may need this.” Riverly Purple Mist, who was beside him, took out a black bottle from a small bag. Medicine Master said, “This is a new medicinal pill that I’ve made for recovering spiritual energy. I named it Purple Master Pill. Under normal circumstances, one pill is sufficient to completely recover the spiritual energy of a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, but in your case, you can probably take two to three pills at a time. After taking it, you only have to sit down and meditate for it to take effect.”
Purple Master Pill? Did he come up with this name by combining ‘Riverly Purple Mist’ and ‘Medicine Master’ together?
Song Shuhang asked, “Are there any side effects?”
Newly developed medicinal pills would most likely have some side effects, right? Medicine Master warmly said, “Mm-hm. Because it is a newly developed pill, some of the side effects have not yet been dealt with. But they are all minor problems, and do not affect a practitioner too much. The biggest side effect of the Purple Master Pill is that it produces a strong feeling of fullness as the energy contained in it is too rich, and it will make the user feel like they had eaten a huge number of immortal dishes. After consuming it, you might not feel like eating anything for several days. Once you smell food, you will also feel full and have no appetite.” Song Shuhang said, “It’s just such a minor side effect, no problem at all.”
Medicine Master said, “It’s great that you’re fine with such a side effect. There will definitely be more revisions to be done on your cultivation technique, so you should restore some of your spiritual energy first.”
Riverly Purple Mist gave a bottle of pills to Song Shuhang. “There are 24 pills in here, enough for an ordinary Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor to use for a long time… However, since you have four cores, I’m not sure how long it’s going to last you.”
“Thank you, Senior Medicine Master and Fairy Purple Mist.” Song Shuhang took the bottle.
He would first revive his clone, and then recover his spiritual energy.
Just like before, Song Shuhang consumed two golden cores’ worth of spiritual energy to revive his clone in advance.
Song Shuhang’s strength had increased, and the amount of spiritual energy stored in his body had increased as well. As such, the spiritual energy needed to restore his clone also increased a little.
After reviving his clone, he took out a Purple Master Pill from the bottle and stuffed it into his mouth. “Eh? It tastes like orange?”
It tasted great, like a candy tablet.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but bite down.
Medicine Master said, “That is just the icing on the outside. It will be bitter inside, so it would be best for you to swallow it all at once.”
“Huh?” Song Shuhang suddenly burst into tears.
After he bit through the icing on the outside, the bitter taste from the actual pill was revealed it was terribly bitter.
Song Shuhang felt that his tongue became numb from how bitter the pill was.
He raised his head and swallowed the pill.
“Senior Medicine Master, you should have told me earlier.” Song Shuhang smiled bitterly.
Medicine Master shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Before I could say anything, you had already bitten down on it.”
After swallowing the pill, Song Shuhang immediately felt a feeling of fullness.
I’m so full. It even feels like my belly is swelling And it feels as if I drank a whole bottle of water on top of the meal.
Moreover, one’s belly would also become slightly itchy after swallowing the pill. But besides that, there were no other side effects.
Anyway, the effect of the pill was very good. When the pill went down his throat, the spiritual energy of Song Shuhang’s whale core recovered quite a bit, and the effect was still continuing. If combined with a meditation technique, he should be able to restore half of the spiritual energy in his whale core.
Song Shuhang took out two more Purple Master Pills, and swallowed them in one go.
After swallowing three pills, the feeling of fullness worsened.
Song Shuhang exclaimed, “I’m so full. I feel like my belly is going to explode.”
Senior Medicine Master smiled, and said, “It can’t be helped. The side effects of the Purple Master Pill aren’t easy to solve. I’ve been trying to deal with them for some time now. However, its effect is very good, right?”
Song Shuhang nodded. “Its effect is great indeed. The spiritual energy of my whale core is being continuously restored, and even my second golden core has almost recovered half of its spiritual energy.”
He calculated that he would need to eat three Purple Master Pills to revive his clone once.
At the side, Riverly Purple Mist added, “After taking the Purple Master Pill once, you must wait more than two hours before you can continue taking it. In addition, this feeling of fullness will accumulate, and the side effects will last for about two days. The more you eat, the longer the side effects will last. You have to pay attention to the intervals between taking them.”
Song Shuhang said, “I got it.”
Riverly Purple Mist smiled slightly, then she held Medicine Master’s arm, and the two went to the side to show their affection for one another.
Song Shuhang found a place to sit down. He held his belly with both hands and hiccupped from time to time.
He felt like he was filled to the brim and was extremely uncomfortable.
Soft Feather asked in puzzlement, ‘Senior Song, is your stomach okay?” Song Shuhang said, “It’s fine. This is a side effect from taking Senior Medicine Master’s
pills.”
Soft Feather blinked. “What’s the side effect? Senior Song, you look like you’ve got a stomach ache from becoming pregnant.”
“What does this have to do with pregnancy? It’s fullness from eating.” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Ever since she got to know about the Impregnating Gaze, Soft Feather would think of pregnancy whenever she saw other people having a stomachache. “Do you need a digestion tablet?” Su Clan’s Sixteen asked while taking out a white digestion tablet-it had been specially made for the Immortal Feast.
The food in the Immortal Feast was so rich that there would always be practitioners who had small appetites and would not be able to continue eating. At such times, this kind of special digestion tablet was what those practitioners needed.
Song Shuhang looked at the white digestive tablet, burped hard, and frowned. “I’m afraid it won’t work, I can’t eat anything now. Even if it’s a grain of rice, I don’t want to taste it.”
The side effects of the Purple Master Pill in this regard were simply too strong. Sixteen suggested, “Then just take your time and walk for a while, maybe you’ll feel better after?”
Soft Feather giggled, and said, “It feels like Senior Song has been hit by the Impregnating Gaze, just that his belly has not swelled up too much.”
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
I keep on getting the feeling that something isn’t right today.
A few hours later.
After another concerted effort of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique) Revised Version 3.0 was released.
Senior White once again tested this version with runes.
Senior White said, “I can’t find any problems. In theory, this version should have no bugs. However, it needs to be beta tested. Shuhang, have your clone test it.”
“Got it.” Song Shuhang willed it and summoned Song Shuhang Two out again.
Song Shuhang looked at his clone, then sighed with emotion. “Good luck.”
When his clone exploded earlier, his heart ached.
This was a rather natural reaction considering he had watched ‘himself’ blow up.
Song Shuhang Two sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and started to circulate the new (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique).
Cycles came and went.
Soon, Song Shuhang Two had already gone through 132 cycles.
But after the 132nd cycle, it was as if he had hit a limit. It was impossible to continue on to the 133rd cycle.
Song Shuhang Two opened his eyes and ended his practice. This time, there were no injuries and no explosions.
Fairy Lychee rubbed her brows, and said, “What’s wrong this time?”
Su Clan’s Seven said, “In general, it is better than last time. There were no injuries or explosions.”
Fairy Dongfang Six asked, “But why did it stop at the 132nd cycle?” She looked at the modified (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique) that everybody had worked on, and couldn’t find any problems with it at all.
Fairy Firefly asked, “Senior Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Senior White, did you find anything?”
Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Mm-hm, it’s almost complete.”
Senior White also nodded. “I feel the same.”
Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue prompted, “132 cycles are four times 33 cycles.”
Fairy Lychee asked, “In other words, with the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique, 33 cycles is one large cycle?”
Fairy Firefly said, “Since it’s the number four again… Then is the limit still related to Song Shuhang’s four cores?”.
Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “This is an upper limit and a kind of safeguard for little friend Shuhang.”
Soft Feather raised her hand, and asked, “In other words, the crisis of Senior Song suddenly exploding has been resolved?”
“I’m not sure about that. I will have to observe things for some more,” Senior White said. “Shuhang, I suggest you follow me for a while. I’m making a trip to Heavenly Field Island. You should come with me.”
